| Ething of Titanium can be done either wet or dry. For wet etching please see below on this page. Dry etching can be done either with [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/ICP Metal Etcher|ICP]] using Chlorine chemistry or with [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/IBE/IBSD Ionfab 300|IBE]] by sputtering with Ar ions.

| ==Wet etching of Titanium==
| |
| [[Image:Fumehoodetch-chrom2.jpg|300x300px|thumb|Fume hood: positioned in cleanroom 2. <br />Wet Etch of Titanium can take place in this pp tank or in a beaker in this fume hood]]
| |
|
| |
| We have two solutions for wet titanium etching:
| |
|
| |
| # BHF
| |
| # Cold RCA1
| |
|
| |
| Do it by making your own set up in a beaker in a fume hood - preferably in cleanroom 2 or 4. BHF etching can also take place in the PP-etch bath in the fume hood in cleanroom 2.
