Aqueous photolithographic etching of TGS

Abstract
The solubility and the etching rate (b-face) of TGS crystal in acetone- and ethyl alcohol-water solutions were studied. With the etching knowledge and the photolithographic technique, it is feasible to make TGS pyroelectric detectors of select-etched structure, which is advantageous in processing handling and tooling, together with high detector sensitivity resulting from controllable thinner thickness and better thermal insulation of active area.
