Hi Aslam,

This is regarding the use of KOH / TMAH for wet etching of bulk Si.

TMAH:-
- smooth surface finish
-non toxic and can be handled easily
- excellent selectivity to SiO2 and Si3N4

at 90 C & 22% wt TMAH
Si  <100> etch rate = 1.0um/min
Si <110> etch rate = 1.4 um/min

which is higher than those observed with EDP, AHW, Hydrazine water, tetraethyl
ammonium hydroxide
but slower than those observed for KOH.
Anisotropy Ratio (100) / (111) is between 12.5 and 50


KOH:-
Selectivity of etching with Si and Sio2 is not very good, Si3N4 is not attacked
though.
SiO2 etch rate = 28A/min
extremely toxic, can cause blindness
At 80C etch rate may reduce to 0.7um/min

You may want to try KOH etch at 84 C, with stirring and addition of IPA.

Good luck
Anupama
