Ething of Titanium can be done either wet or dry. For wet etching please see below on this page. Dry etching can be done either with [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/ICP Metal Etcher|ICP]] using Chlorine chemistry or with [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/IBE/IBSD Ionfab 300|IBE]] by sputtering with Ar ions.

We have two solutions for wet titanium etching:
 
# BHF
# Cold RCA1
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.
