Metals as an HF etch-stop
Jonathan J. Sapan
2012-01-17
Hi,

I have a structure covered in 100 nm SiO2 which I need to selectively
remove with BOE (using SU8 as a mask).  Beneath the SiO2 there will be
25 - 50 Angstroms of metal.  Any recommendations for which metal to use?
I was thinking Au or Cr, but haven't found any references for whether
and/or how quickly these metals etch in BOE/HF.

Thanks,
Jonathan
