Etching of Titanium

Etching of Titanium is done wet at Danchip. We have two solutions for titanium etching:

  1. BHF
  2. Cold RCA1 (as stripper)

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.


Comparing the two solutions
