The etch rate depends on the level of surface oxidation of the chromium metal, but the standard procedure (etch at room temperature: ~22°C) the Etch rate is around 150 nm/min.
 
PECVD SiO2 and LPCVD SiN coated wafers have been immersed in Cr etch 18 for 10min. Thickness wise: absolutely no changes (roughness after etch not measured)


The etch rate depends on the level of surface oxidation of the chromium metal, but the standard procedure (etch at room temperature: ~22°C) the etch rate is around 150 nm/min.
Normally the etch is reused (if you etch Molybdenum never reuse), but if you need to dispose it, collect it in a bottle marked X waste.
