Dictum factum, as they say in Northumbria when the cows go mad on the pub, and can't see the difference between Isle of Jura and Johnny Walker. If you are so alert, Mike, perhaps you can also give me the recipe for best etching away Nickel without damaging Titanium. Is wet possible at all? I'm trying to find ESD damages in the dielectric of 0.5x0.5 mm MOS caps. Have removed bond gold, and want remove 1000 A nickel without taking underlying Titanium simultaneously. Step- by- step analysis is  important in this case. Top of the selective etch list for Ni, Pt, Cr and Ti would be grate. I have experimented with most common acids, but not found really good selective soups. I don't talk fine etching for grain studies but stripping.

PS. No,Mike, milk did not work so good.
