1890 W. G. McMillan Treat. Electro-metallurgy i. 2 The electro-metallurgist may be called upon..to dissolve metals, either to remove an existing coat of one metal from the surface of another, or to effect the complete or partial solution of a homogeneous body superficially, as in the case of electro-etching.
1987 W. Kern & G. L. Schnable in S. J. Moss & A. Ledwith Chem. Semiconductor Industry xi. 236 Electrochemical etching is termed electrolytic etching or electro-etching if it involves the application of a controlled external electrode potential where the semiconductor or metal substrate is made the anode of an electrolytic cell.
1998 Leonardo 31 137/2 In many respects, electro-etching may be the safest and best plate-etching method currently available.
