Hi,


     Why dont you try with Buffered Hydroflouric acid? It is most easier way to
do and you may require Cr/Au mask to do so. You can realize the required pattern
by well-known lift-off technique.


cheers,

Hi all,

I tried glass etching at room temperature with 25% fluorosilicic acid using
photoresist as a mask. But to my surprise it is not etching the glass even
after an hour. The glass I used was pyrex 7740.

If any of you have successfully etched glass with fluorosilicic acid, please
suggest me the exact recipe.

Thanking you all in anticipation,

Keyur Shah
