Thank you Mikael for your advice. in the former etching i use the Magnetic Stirrers to make the etching process more uniform. Yesterday , i just put the wafer in the solution without magnetic stirrer. Cr works fine. it can stand in solution at least 10min. i 've no idea why become so different between this two circumstances. for luck, Cr mask works finally.
