Aluminium etch

The aluminium etch has two steps:

Breakthrough
The breakthrough step is designed to break through the native aluminium oxide layer that is present on all aluminium surfaces. The duration of this step should remain fixed.
Main
The main step etches bulk aluminium.
Al etch
Parameter Process step
