Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
etching
a reactive process where material is removed from a semiconductor device or printed circuit board. Usually a photosensitive material is exposed through a photomask, and either a wet chemical process or a dry plasma process is used to selectively remove material to leave a particular pattern behind after the etch process is completed.
