Abstract

A mechanochemical method of etching the side wall of circular semiconductor plates, and apparatus for performing the method. The plates are given a rotary movement while their side walls only are contacted with an etching solution, the rotary movement being produced by rotation of at least one cylindrical roller dragging along a film of the etching solution.
