Wet-Chemical Etching and Cleaning of Silicon

A Introduction Research and manufacturing related to silicon devices, circuits, and systems often relies on the wet-chemical etching of silicon wafers. The dissolution of silicon using liquid solutions is needed for deep etching and micromachining, shaping, and cleaning. Also, wet-chemistries are often used for defect delineation in single crystal silicon materials. In this paper, a review of t...

Wet anisotropic etching of polyimide

With the aim of developing flexible biocompatible implants for in vivo studies of nerve regeneration [1], fabrication of passive polyimide membranes using the commercial available Kapton film (100HN and 50HN, from DuPont) was investigated. Polyimide has been widely used in microelectronics, and its application possibilities have been widening to other fields such as micromachining and biomedica...

Multiscale modeling of anisotropic wet chemical etching of crystalline silicon

– We combine ab initio and Monte Carlo simulations in multiscale modelling of anisotropic wet chemical etching of silicon. The anisotropy of the macroscopic etching patterns observed in the experiments is explained by two mechanisms at an atomistic scale: the weakening of backbonds following OH termination of surface sites and the existence of significant interaction between the surface-termina...

Three-Dimensional Simulation of Anisotropic Wet Chemical Etching Process

In this paper, we present result on the development of a simulation tool for the three-dimensional anisotropic wet chemical etching of bulk silicon etching or bulk micromaching. As a test of our simulation tool, we present several simulation results. Several simulation results demonstrate our simulation tool which is quite efficient for the design and development of MEMS device structure. The d...
