  1. I know what a semiconductor is, but how does a semiconductor etch work? Does it destroy the thinner parts of the plant?

    I love them. I wish I could do this at home.

  2. There are various approaches to semiconductor etch.

    For a wet etch, you can think of it as a specialty acid bath.
