For a lot of reasons, home etching of PCBs is somewhat of a dying art. The main reason is the rise of quick-turn PCB fabrication services, of course; when you can send your Gerbers off and receive ...
An example of directional etching for nanohole arrays of less than 500nm in diameter. (Image: A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering) Wet etching can be classified into two main types ...
Atomic layer etching (ALE) is the reverse of atomic layer deposition (ALD). ALE can be achieved using sequential, self-limiting thermal reactions. We have recently demonstrated Al 2 O 3 ALE [1-3] and ...
Much like etching a PCB, Blake started with a copper sheet, writing and drawing his works backwards with stopping varnish, an acid-resistant varnish that sticks around after a nitric acid bath.
