Abstract

A resistor material having at least chromium, silicon and oxygen, Cr.SiO.sub.2, contained in electronic integrated circuits, particularly in the case of an aluminum layer being on the material, is etched with a liquid etchant composition containing 1.92 to 2.64 mol/l of hydrochloric acid, 0.26 to 0.77 mol/l of phosphoric acid, 5 to 10 mol/l hydrofluoric acid and 3.2 to 5.4 mol/l of ammonium fluoride.
