Abstract
A method of making a substrate having a buried structure includes the steps of preparing a glass substrate having a principal surface, forming a groove on the principal surface of the glass substrate by a wet etching process, and depositing a first material over the principal surface of the glass substrate and filling the groove with the first material to form the buried structure having a surface that is substantially flush with the principal surface. The step of forming the groove includes the step of performing the wet etching process by using an etchant that includes hydrofluoric acid, ammonium fluoride, and hydrochloric acid or oxalic acid.
