Wet Chemical Etching of Si, Si[sub 1−x]Ge[sub x], and Ge in HF:H[sub 2]O[sub 2]:CH[sub 3]COOH

Abstract: Device concepts are applied to strained layers ranging from pure Si to pure Ge to achieve higher carrier mobilities. Strain is generated by growth on Si1−xGex buffer layers with an appropriate Ge content. Processing of these heterostructures requires selective removal of individual layers. Different approaches to the etch Si, Si1−xGex , and Ge layers have been evaluated in terms of the etch rate, selectivity, and isotropy. All investigated etching methods used highly selective chemical etching solutions com… Show more

“…(6%HF/30%H 2 O 2 / 99.8%CH 3 COOH) solution (BPA). This etching solution is known to selectively etch Si 1-x Ge x alloys over pure Si [21,24,28,29]. Two important parameters of chemical selective wet etching have also been checked: ageing time of etching solution and structure collapse during/after the wet etching.…”

“…In many advanced vertical transistor structures, multilayer of SiGe/Si is implemented. Since it is needed to selectively etch either Si or SiGe layers, a lot of efforts were made to use HF:H2O2:CH3COOH mixtures to etch SiGe selectively to Si [143][144][145] or to use tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) based to remove Si from SiGe [146] and a formulated semi-aqueous reagent to selectively etch SiGe to Ge [147].…”
