It is possible to use TEOS as a masking layer in KOH etch however it is not as suitable as Silicon nitride for deep KOH etching. However for shallower etches it can be used. In comparison to silicon nitride TEOS has the advantage that it does not have the same pinhole problems. | It is possible to use TEOS as a masking layer in KOH etch however it is not as suitable as Silicon nitride for deep KOH etching.
