Investigation of silicon anisotropic etching in alkaline solutions with propanol addition
Abstract
Different propanol isomers additives to 26 wt. % KOH water solution have been studied. It was stated that addition of both isomers result in changing etching anisotropy of (110) oriented corners on Si LT 100 >. For the same etching depth, IPA addition causes higher corner undercutting than 1-propanol addition. Surface topography is better in IPA containing solutions.
