How slow do you want to go?  Madou notes conc. HF to have the very slow rate of
0.3A/min at 25C on n0type Silicon in the 1-1-1 direction.  If you want something
faster than that, you should apply a dilute HNA (HF+Nitric+Acetic) to the
problem.

Hi,


I plan to use HF (or buffered HF) to do a very small amount of isotropic
etch of single crystal Silicon to remove the surface roughness after DRIE
(BOSCH process). Does anybody have a recipe (solution formula, etch rate...)
for that? Also, please let me know if there are other methods which can be
used to make the surface smoother. Thanks!



Best Regards,
