Abstract

A method for controlling the etch rate of a quaternary etchant comprising ethylene diamine, water, pyrocatechol and a diazine. The etching rate is catalyzed and controlled by controlling the amount of the diazine present in the etchant. A method for the controlled etching of silicon is also disclosed.
