[mems-talk] Quartz wet etching

[P.E.M. Kuijpers]

Dear Barbara,

Try to use a metal mask e.g. Cr.
After patterneing the Cr layer don't remove the resit befor BHF etching..

Dear all
I'm wet etching quartz with a BHF solution 6:1, but I have encounterd some
difficulties in etching.
What I do is a photolithographic process on the quartz substrate, a
hardbake of 4 hours at 180° and then the wet etching process.
What I obtain though is the rearrangement of the photoresist in a
disordered pattern and no etching!
Has anyone an idea where I go wrong?
Barbara
