Abstract

See full text

A narrow and deep aperture is chemically etched in or through a body of, for example, cadmium mercury telluride or other infrared sensitive material. The etchant is constrained and etches faster adjacent to side walls of a mask on the body. Those side walls are sufficiently close to each other than the faster etching areas overlap. Apertures or slots having a width of about 7 um may be etched in this manner through a thickness of about 5 um via windows having a width of about 3 um in a photo resist of a thickness between 4 and 5 um.
