Undercut is obvious in wet etching. But I wish if there is some method to reduce it by adding some additives to the etchant..!! 

I need to pattern 1 um thick copper film using wet etching. The etchant used is HCl + H2O2 in DI water. The minimum feature size in lateral dimension that I want to achieve is 20 um. I have tried with different concentrations of the etchant, but almost everything resulted in heavy undercut. Is there any method to reduce undercut by adding some additives to the etchant? Please help me if someone has an idea in this field.

Thanks in advance,

Jose
