Silicon Etching Solution, Method for Treating Substrate, and Method for Manufacturing Silicon Device
Publication number: 20240170294Abstract: In etching of a single crystal silicon substrate having a Si crystal plane ((100) plane, (110) plane, and (111) plane) as a main plane, an etching rate on the (110) plane cannot be sufficiently reduced, and there is room for improvement in an etching rate ratio between the (110) plane and the (111) plane. An object of the present invention is to provide a silicon etching solution having excellent crystal plane isotropy in silicon etching and having a high etching selectivity ratio of silicon to a silicon oxide film.
