Isotropic wet etching with agitation a. Isotropic wet etching with no agitation FIGURE Wet etching of crystalline silicon. due to the many other variables in a wet-etch process such as temperature chemical agitation purity and concentration. If this is not satisfactory etch stops can be used in wet etching to define a boundary on which the etch can stop. Several etch stops methods can be utilized in wet etching p boron diffusion or implant etch stop Material-selective etch stop Electrochemical etch stop For example the etch rate of boron-doped silicon p-silicon by KOH or EDP can be up to 100 times less than the etch rate in undoped silicon 1-3 . Therefore boron-doped regions produced by diffusion or implantation have been used to form features or as an etch stop Figure . A material-selective etch stop can be produced by a thin layer of a material such as silicon nitride which has a greatly reduced etch rate in etchants such as KOH EDP and TMAH Table . For example a thin layer silicon nitride can be deposited on a silicon device to form a membrane on which the etch will stop. An electrochemical etch stop can also be used Figure . Silicon readily forms a silicon oxide layer that will impede etching of the bulk material Table . The formation of the oxide layer is a reduction oxidation reaction which can be impeded by a reversed biased p-n junction that prevents the current flow necessary for the reduction oxidation reaction to occur. The p-n junction can be formed on a p-type silicon wafer with an n-type region diffused or implanted with an n-type dopant . phosphorus or arsenic to a prescribed depth. With the p-n junction reverse biased the p-type silicon will be etched 2005 by Taylor Francis Group LLC 72 Micro Electro Mechanical System Design B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B B uiiiiiuiiiiuiuuuii Single Crystal Silicon a.
