==Etching of Titanium==


We have two solutions for wet titanium etching:
Etching of titanium can be done either by wet etch, dry etch or by sputtering with ions.
 
*[[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/Wet Titanium Etch|Etching of Ti by wet etch]]
# BHF
*[[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/ICP Metal Etcher/Titanium|Etching of Ti by dry etch]]
# Cold RCA1
*[[Specific_Process_Knowledge/Etch/IBE&frasl;IBSD Ionfab 300/IBE Ti etch|Sputtering of Ti]]
<br clear="all" />


Do it by making your own set up in a beaker in a fume hood - preferably in cleanroom 2 or 4. BHF etching can also take place in the PP-etch bath in the fume hood in cleanroom 2.
