Notes:
Laser-assisted liquid film etching (LALFE) is a new technique for maskless patterning of silicon substrates. This technique involves forming a thin liquid film of etchant on a silicon substrate and focusing a laser beam on the portion to be etched. Results are given for direct-writing, orientation dependent LALFE on (100) and (111)n-Si using films of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a wetting agent for hydrofluoric acid on n-Si.
