Wet Etching line

Function

The Wet Etching line is a series of pre-made chemical baths employed for the wet chemical etching of semiconductors (poly-Si), dielectrics (SiO2, SixNy), metals (Al, Ti, Mo, ...) and organics (photoresist). TritonX baths are closer to every etching bath to increase the wettability of the surface and make the wet etching more unifrom.

Chemical baths

HF 0.55%; BHF 7:1; Technietch Al80, Silicon Nitride etchant, PES, Acetone, H2O.

Wafer Dimension

Only 4 inch wafers are allowed. Up to 25 wafers can be loaded for etching on one go.

Temperature Range

NA.

Contamination

Only non-Contaminated samples are allowed.

 

Restrictions

Two different chemical baths are prepared for processing with green metals and bare silicon wafers in order to reduce metal cross contamination.
