Abstract

The invention relates to an etching solution for processing an N-type silicon microchannel array by a photon-assisted electrochemical etching method, which belongs to the technical field of silicon micro-processing. In the prior art, the etching solution for processing an N-type silicon microchannel array by a photon-assisted electrochemical etching method is made by adding ethanol or p-octyl polyethylene glycol phenyl ether, which is used as a surfacetant, into hydrofluoric acid electrolyte, and the etching solution can result in severe lateral erosion in the etching process. The etching solution of the invention is prepared from hydrofluoric acid and ethanol water solution, wherein the concentration of the hydrofluoric acid is 1-10 wt%, and the concentration of the ethanol is5-10 wt%. In addition, an anionic surfactant is added, and the amount of the anionic surfactant is 0.1-1% of the hydrofluoric acid and ethanol water solution by volume. The invention is used for processing N-type macro-pore silicon microchannel arrays.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an etching solution for processing N-type silicon microchannel arrays by a light-assisted electrochemical etching method, which is used for processing N-type macroporous silicon microchannel arrays, and belongs to the technical field of silicon microprocessing. Background technique [0002] Light-assisted electrochemical etching is a technique that can be used in the processing of N-type silicon microchannels. In N-type silicon, holes are minority carriers, and the main carriers are electrons. To make the anodic oxidation and dissolution reaction of silicon proceed, holes must be excited by light irradiation. This process is called photoelectrochemical corrosion (PEC). The silicon microchannel array is processed by light-assisted electrochemical etching method, the radial size of the silicon microchannel is 0.1-10 microns, and the depth can reach hundreds of microns. Silicon microchannel arrays have broad application prospects...
