    Abstract: The invention is directed towards methods and compositions for identifying the amount of hydrofluoric acid in a buffered oxide etching composition. In buffered oxide etching compositions it is very difficult to measure the amount of hydrofluoric acid because it has varying equilibriums and it is toxic so it hard to handle and sample. When used to manufacture microchips however, incorrect amounts of hydrofluoric acid will ruin those chips. The invention utilizes a unique method of spectrographically measuring the hydrofluoric acid when in contact with added chromogenic agents to obtain exact measurements that are accurate, immediate, and safe.

    Abstract: A processing method having excellent processing performance at a low flow rate is provided. A method for processing a surface of a sample uses reactive clusters produced by adiabatic expansion of a gas mixture ejected from a nozzle into a vacuum processing chamber. The gas mixture contains a reactive gas chlorine trifluoride, a first inert gas argon, and a second inert gas xenon. The gas mixture in an inlet of the nozzle has a pressure of 0.4 MPa (abs) or more. The reactive gas constitutes 3% by volume or more and 10% by volume or less. The first inert gas constitutes 40% by volume or more and 94% by volume or less. The second inert gas constitutes 3% by volume or more and 50% by volume or less of the gas mixture.

    Abstract: Polycrystalline silicon germanium (SiGe) can offer excellent etch selectivity to silicon during cryogenic deep reactive ion etching in an SF6/O2 plasma. Etch selectivity of over 800:1 (Si:SiGe) may be achieved at etch temperatures from −80 degrees Celsius to −140 degrees Celsius. High aspect ratio structures with high resolution may be patterned into Si substrates using SiGe as a hard mask layer for construction of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices and semiconductor devices.
