Etching of Chromium

Fume hood: positioned in cleanroom 2.
Wet Etch of Chromium can take place in a beaker in this fume hood

Etching of chromium is done wet at Danchip making your own set up in a beaker in a fume hood - preferably in cleanroom 2 or 4. We have two solution for this:

  1. HNO:HO:cerisulphate - 90ml:1200ml:15g - standard at Danchip
  2. Commercial chromium etch

Etch rate are depending on the level of oxidation of the metal.


Overview of the data for the chromium etches
