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. | 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. | ||
