TMAH Etch Without Attacking Aluminum

Kevin,

I have a bad experience. When I did TMAH etching at 40C, I used a Al foil to
cover the 2000ml beaker in order to keep the temperature stabe. Finally, the
foil turn grey (black) and lots of dusts drop off into solution. I guess the
TMAH evapor oxide al. but i am not sure.

Good luck,

Lydia
