He recently worked out a relatively inexpensive and easy way to etch metals using some chemistry skill and a little bit of electricity. After preparing a set of stencils and cleaning the metal ...

The nomenclature sets the stage for understanding the underlying reactions that make ferric chloride good at etching copper. In solution, ferric chloride rapidly dissociates into iron (III ...

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office will be hosting a catalytic converter etching event from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday, March 27 at the Wheeling public works facility, 77 W. Hintz Road. At the event, ...

"The thickness of the metal layer, the initial state of mechanical stress of the sample, and the composition of the etching solution all play a role in determining the type of pattern that ...

These fluorination and ligand-exchange reactions lead to atomic layer controlled etching. This ALE approach is extendible to other materials besides metal oxides. Our current work has demonstrated the ...

Reactive Ion Etch (RIE) is a physical etch process. A rich plasma has been made just above the wafer, and the ions are expedited toward the surface to generate a highly powerful anisotropic etch.
