Wet etching of aluminium is done with two different solutions:
Wet etching of aluminium is done with two different solutions:


# H<sub>2</sub>O:H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>  1:2 at 50 <sup>o</sup>C
# H<sub>2</sub>O : H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub>  (1:2) at 50<sup>o</sup>C
# Pre-mixed etch solution: PES 77-19-04 at 20 <sup>o</sup>C
# Pre-mixed etch solution: PES 77-19-04 at 20<sup>o</sup>C


Both solutions are used in the Aluminium etch bath shown to the right. It must be written on which one is in. Solution no. 1 is the most used solution for etching aluminium. Solution no. 2 is primarily for etching aluminium mixed with a small percentage of silicon.  
<br>
The first solution is always available ready made in the Aluminium Etch bath. The second solution can be mixed manually or bought pre-mixed and ready for use. Please contact DTU Danchip if you need to use the PES 77-19-04 etch mixture. Since it is used only very rarely it may have to be ordered when needed. The table below summarizes possibilities and parameter for the two etch mixtures.
