Dear friends, I am fabricating gas sensor by using SOI wafer. Because not having suitable chuck for one side etching, I try to passivate one side, then put whole wafer in KOH. Considering etch rate for room temp., I should use 600C KOH, please recommend one suitable passivation chemicals. Thanks a lot.
