This Wet Etching in Nanofabrication activity also includes:
Chemistry and physics combine forces to benefit nanofabrications. Learners examine the process of wet etching in nanofabrication. Using corrosive substances such as lemon juice and Coca-Cola, they model the etching process. They then make the connection to how the same process helps to design components in electronics.
