==Etching of Aluminium==
Etching of aluminium is done wet at Danchip. We have two different solutions:
At the moment etching of aluminium can only be done wet at Danchip.  


# H<math>_2</math>O:H<math>_3</math>PO<math>_4</math>  1:2 at 50 <sup>o</sup>C
Please go to the [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/Wet Aluminium Etch|''Wet aluminium etch'']] page to see the process information.
# Pre-mixed etch solution: PES 77-19-04 at 20 <sup>o</sup>C
