Thanks Felex but for most part of the oxide it is gone. Maybe a bad supplier or some complicated oven process in the bonding process for the SOI before the wafers were delivered to me. I still dont know but each of these factors can be the cause; i guess... thanks again Felix nimo ________________________________ From: Felix LuTo: General MEMS discussion Sent: Tue, July 20, 2010 2:55:17 PM Subject: [mems-talk] Some silicon-dioxide will not etch in BHF...can that be? Hi Nimo, Two things come to mind: 1. You might need more BHF? 2. Bubbles may be preventing the BHF from reaching certain areas? Good luck! Felix
