Hello We are working on fabrication of quartz MEMS. We use single crystalline z-cut quartz substrate of 150 micron thick and do the etching in HF based solution. However, after thorough etching it is observed that along x-axis one side is completely vertical whereas other side is not vertical, there is nodge of about 30-40 microm length. How to make vertical sidewall at both side? Do anyne has any idea?
