Etching solution for selectively removing silicon-germanium alloy from a silicon-germanium/ germanium stack during manufacture of a semiconductor device
Abstract:
Described herein is an etching solution comprising water; an oxidizer; a water-miscible organic solvent; a fluoride ion source; a corrosion inhibitor and optionally, a surfactant, optionally a buffer, optionally a chelating agent. Such compositions are useful for the selective removal of silicon-germanium over germanium from a microelectronic device having such material(s) thereon during its manufacture.
