I'm trying to etch off about 100nm of ITO from glass coverslips,
probably using AZ 3617 resist. It's important the glass remains
transparent. I can't do liftoff because I can't do the ITO
deposition at our facility, I order it.
I've found a bunch of suggestions for an etchant, but there doesn't
seem to be much consensus... 17% HCl? Diluted aqua regia? Diluted
NaOH? HF?
I would be very grateful if someone can tell me if they know
specifically that something works, what concentration, and
temperature. My ITO source is expensive, so I can't afford too much
experimentation, unfortunately.
Thanks!
