We routinely etch 50 to 75u silicon in production using a 2:1:1 (Nitric,HF, Acetic) etch at 6'C with SC450 resist as the mask with or without underlying oxide. The resist is a negative tone resist made by Arch. The resist etch rate is 0. Contact me if you need further details. avi Avi Laker Teccor Electronics 972 756 8237 Office 214 439 6770 Pager
