Abstract

See full text

An alkaline etching solution comprising a hydroxide salt (e.g., an alkali metal hydroxide, an ammonium hydroxide, or a combination thereof), a polyol having at least three hydroxyl (—OH) groups, and water. Also provided is a method of producing a semiconductor device by obtaining a semiconductor substrate having masked and unmasked surfaces; exposing the semiconductor substrate having the masked and unmasked surfaces to an alkaline etching solution, such that the unmasked surfaces of the substrate are anisotropically etched, wherein the alkaline etching solution comprises: a hydroxide salt; a polyol having at least three hydroxyl (—OH) groups; and water; and performing additional processing to produce the semiconductor device.
