I don't know if you can etch all three metals with one chemistry. However I have used the following for each film: Al - Aluminum Etch (phosphoric and acetic acid) Ni - same as above Au- Transene TFA (iodine, potassium iodide solution) >>> "Abang Annuar Ehsan"01/15/01 06:55PM >>> Hi, I need to find out how to etch Al-Ni-Au using wet chemical etching technique, where the metals are stacked on top of one another? what are the suitable solutions to etch them at once? The process was done using e-beam evaporator. Thank you, annuar.
