Following is some of our data for W and Mo:

Silicon wet isotropic etchant (126 HNO3 : 60 H2O : 5 NH4F): W = 13 nm/min; Mo >
35 nm/min
H2O2 at 20 C: W = 19 nm/min
H2O2 at 50 C: W = 150 nm/min
XeF2 at 2.6 Torr: W = 80 nm/min; Mo etches
SF6 plasma: W etches; Mo etches
CF4 + O2 plasma: W etches, Mo etches
