Dear helene viatge I used the EDTA wet etch for titanium film. But you know that wet etching is isotropic and tilted sidewalls were always obtained. If you need vertical sidewalls, maybe you can try the ion beam etching (milling). Yours sincerely, Lei Wang School of Physics Shandong University 5, Hongjialou, Jinan, Shandong Province 250100 P. R.

Do you have any idea of how the etching can affect the surrounding parts? Moreover is the bonding strength of TiO2 on Ti higher than SiO2 on Ti? Thanks a lot for your help, Have a good day, Helen.
