Hi,
From my experience, it's hard to get a mirror like (100) or (110)
surface. But (111) surface is always very smooth.
But some people did a good job:
1) http://staff.aist.go.jp/zhen.yang/smooth_etching.htm
2) Fast etching of silicon with a smooth surface in high temperature
ranges near the boiling point of KOH solution TANAKA Hiroshi ;

I tested high T etch. I get better surface. But I can't say it's mirror
like. It's just like a mirror with foggy areas.
