Are you using aqua regia to etch Pt? If so, we use 1813 resist with the
following aqua regia recipe: 8 H2O : 7 HCl : 1 HNO3 @ 85C. To pattern a
significant fraction of a 4" wafer, the volumes we use are 300 ml H2O:
260 ml HCl : 37.5 HNO3 and the etching is done in a pyrex 8"x 8" pan.
NOTE: Using the above volumes we can only etch one (1) 4" wafer. After
that the resist gets attacked within the first 20 sec.!

Hello All,

Right now I'm trying to etch platinum. I checked in the THIN FILM
PROCESSES
talking about the echant, it doesn't give a proper material for mask.
Can
you please tell me by which mask material should I use in the Pt
etching
process?

Thanks a lot,
Hongjun Zeng
