===Etch rates: Empirical formula (Seidl et al)=== | |||
The following empirical formula can be used for concentrations in the range of 10-60 wt%: | |||
R = k<sub>0</sub> [H<sub>2</sub>O]<sup>4</sup> [KOH]<sup>0.25</sup> e<sup>-E<sub>a</sub>/kT</sup>, | |||
where k<sub>0</sub> = 2480 µm/hr (mol/l)<sup>-4.25</sup>, E<sub>a</sub> = 0.595 eV for Si(100) | |||
and k<sub>0</sub> = 4500 µm/hr (mol/l)<sup>-4.25</sup>, E<sub>a</sub> = 0.60 eV for Si(110) | |||
