Abstract
A method for selectively etching a semiconductor wafer in the presence of an electrochemical etchant wherein the electrical potential of the area that is selectively etched is automatically changed to a potential at which the etching is inhibited once the desired etching in the area is completed. The method is described with respect to making an electrode tip for a tunnel current sensing device.
