A process for etching a thick aluminum contact layer of a semiconductor wafer comprises the formation of a wet etch photoresist mask and the opening of a window in the mask, followed by a wet etch of a first portion of the thickness of the contact layer exposed by the window and the inherent under cutting of the contact layer under the mask window. A dry etch is next carried out, using the same window as a mask, to cut the remaining web of the contact layer under the window. An etch stop layer of Ti or TiN can be formed within the body of the contact layer to define the depth of the initial wet etch into the contact layer.
