Platinum (Pt) is a chemical element with the atomic number of 78. It is a malleable, ductile, dense, unreactive transition metal that appears silver-ish in appearance. Platinum is characterized by being one of the least reactive metals that is also very resistant to corrosion. Electrical properties are also very stable.

Processes

Deposition Processes

Etching Processes

  • Wet Etching
    • While platinum is insoluble in both hydrochloric and nitric acid on their own, it is dissolved in heated Aqua Regia.
  • RIE
    • Tool material restriction must be considered when selecting an RIE tool as it will impact what tools you can use for future process steps.
    • RIE will give straighter sidewalls and less undercut than wet etching.
