Wet etching of chromium at Danchip is done making your own set up in a beaker in a fume hood - preferably in cleanroom 2 or 4. We have two solution for this:


# Commercial chromium etch
# HNO<sub>3</sub>:H<sub>2</sub>O:cerisulphate  - 90ml:1200ml:15g - standard at Danchip
# HNO<sub>3</sub>:H<sub>2</sub>O:cerisulphate  - 90ml:1200ml:15g - standard at Danchip
# Commercial chromium etch


Etch rate are depending on the level of oxidation of the metal.

====How to mix the Chromium etch 1:====
====How to mix the Chromium etch 2:====
#Take a beaker and add 15g of cerisulphate.
#Take a beaker and add 15g of cerisulphate.
#Add a little water while stirring - make sure all lumps are gone.
