Abstract

Abstract The etching behaviour of sulfuric-acid-containing HF–HNO 3 solutions towards crystalline silicon surfaces has been studied over a wide range of H 2 SO 4 concentrations. For mixtures with low sulfuric acid concentration, NO 2/N 2 O 4, N 2 O 3, NO and N 2 O have been detected by means of FTIR spectroscopy. Increasing concentrations of nitric acid lead to high etching rates and to an enhanced formation of NO 2/N 2 O 4. Different products ...
