etching systems

Etching systems are tools used in manufacturing to selectively remove material from a surface, typically in semiconductor or printed circuit board production. They employ chemicals or gases to precisely carve away specific areas, creating intricate patterns or features. The process can be dry (using gases and plasmas) or wet (using liquid chemicals). Controlled etching ensures accurate pattern transfer without damaging surrounding areas, which is essential for high-precision devices. Overall, etching systems are vital for shaping and defining micro-scale structures in advanced electronic components.
