[mems-talk] Cu Metal Etchant

[David Nemeth]

Ferric Chloride in water will etch copper.  It's used to make printed
circuit boards.
I strongly suspect an adhesion layer would be necessary for copper on
silicon, but I have no direct experience.

hi.

I heard about Cu could be patterned by something like CMP Process
 damascene(?) process)

Are there any wet etchants fot Cu etch? If not, what is the main reason
about that?

Furthermore, Adhesion layer (Ti or Cr) is not required when I deposit Cu on
Si Wafer ?

Thank you for in Advance.

TW Lee.
