Abstract

See full text

An etchant of PSG (14) or BPSG with high selectivity to substantially undoped oxide (12) includes a fluorine-liberating compound and a fluorine-scavenging compound. The fluorine-liberating compound is preferably a perfluorinated inorganic compound, and the fluorine-scavenging compound is preferably a hydrogen-liberating compound such as hydrogen. A particularly preferred inorganic fluorine-liberating compound is nitrogen trifluoride. In an exemplary embodiment, etch rate ratios of PSG to undoped oxide as high as 11 to 1 were obtained.
