Metal-assisted chemical etching (MacEtch) has recently emerged as a new etching technique capable of fabricating high aspect ratio nano- and microstructures in a few semiconductors substrates-Si, Ge, poly-Si, GaAs, and SiC-and using different catalysts-Ag, Au, Pt, Pd, Cu, Ni, and Rh. Several shapes...
