Etching of Platinum

Etching of Platinum can be done either by wet etch or by sputtering with ions.


Comparison of Platinum Etch Methods

Pt wet etch IBE (Ionfab300+)
Generel description Wet etch of Pt Sputtering of Pt
Etch rate range
  • ~100nm/min
  • ~55nm/min (not tested yet)
Etch profile
  • Isotropic
  • Anisotropic (angles sidewalls, typical around 70 dg)
Masking material
  • None (only used for stripping Pt)
  • Any material that is allowed in the chamber, photoresists included
