Hi Laleh,

        I am not sure what kind of etching, wet or RIE, you are looking
for. But 1-2 micron feature size is rather small for wet etching. Would
RIE be better and also available for your work? W and Mo films can be
etched by CF4, CF4/O2, SF6/Ar gases or other fluorine-based gases. You can
use photoresist or Cr as masking materials.


Yours sincerely,

Isaac Chan
