I am using either silicon dioxide or silicon nitride as a masking material for an EDP etch. I plan to use EDP type"B" (ethylenediamine : pyrocatechol : water ; 75ml : 12g : 25ml). My problem is I cannot find etch rate ratios for the masking materials and the silicon<100>. I need to etch right through a 380 micron wafer. Also, is type B EDP the best to minimize mask under etch? Thanks PS. Thanks alot to those who helped with my Boron etch stop problem Steve Forgrieve Department of Electrical Engineering The University of Edinburgh King's Buildings Mayfield Rd Edinburgh EH9 3JL (Int +44) 131 650 5665 (enquiries) email: S.G.Forgrieve@ug.ee.ed.ac.uk
