33. After removing the native oxide, the wafer is immersed immediately into the preheated KOH etching solution. The surface of the wafer is white at first; during the etching, the color of the Cr-mask-covered area is still white, while the color of the rest area changes gradually into black, and just when it changes into black, the wafer is taken out. Over-etching damages the Si nanomembranes. The etching time varies with the concentration and temperature of the etching solution. We find out that for 20 wt % KOH aqueous solution at 50 °C, the etching time is about 35 s.
34. 2 masks were removed by rinsing in 5 wt % HF aqueous solution.
