Protecting die during wet chemical etching

Derek,

We are using a Crystalbond 509 glue from Aremco (www.aremco.com) for similar
purpose. I guess it can stand the conditions you described. It's a plastic
with melting point  of ~130C, which can be applied directly to a hot glass,
or you can dissolve it in acetone and spray on the substrate (although I
never tried sprayting). It can be nicely removed by acetone or photoresist
remover (we use 1165)

Mike
