Hi,
The vertical trenches are only produced  on two direction. These are
35.26° and 144.73 degree, if the flat is in 110-direction. The etch
rates of the 111-planes are nearby zero, if you hit exactly the
directions (mask misalignment). Furthermore is the design of such
structures more complicate compared with 100-silicon, because of the
non existing 8-times symmetry of 110-silicon.

For more information about the orientation dependent etching please
see also our web page http://gemac.c.ntg.de/mst_eng.htm or contact me
once more.

With kind regards
Dirk Zielke
