> Subject: [mems-talk] Si Etch with KOH
> Hi,
>
> I have structures sitting on Si wafer and it is covered with layer of Su-8.
The main idea is to etch away Si and have a Su-8 layer with structures on it.
>
> I've been trying to etch Si using KOH and always end up with gooey looking
liquid and the Si looking all messed.

> Suggestions please ..
