Abstract
A new atomic scale model has been developed to simulate anisotropic et ching of silicon in KOH solutions. This model is based on the influenc e of the number of hydroxide groups attached to atoms. Etch rates and macroscopic activation energies have been calculated and compared with experimental data. Microscopic surface roughness has been investigate d for <100> and <111> surface.
