'''Unless anything else is stated, everything on this page, text and pictures are made by DTU Nanolab.'''
Etching of aluminium is done wet at Danchip. We have two different solutions:


# H<math>_2</math>O:H<math>_3</math>PO<math>_4</math>  1:2 at 50 <sup>o</sup>C
'''All links to Kemibrug (SDS) and Labmanager Including APV and QC requires login.'''
# Pre-mixed etch solution: PES 77-19-04 at 20 <sup>o</sup>C

==Etching of Titanium==


===Comparing the two solutions===
Etching of titanium can be done either by wet etch, dry etch or by sputtering with ions.
