Ti-Tungsten TiW-30

Ti-Tungsten TiW-30 is a selective etchant for titanium-tungsten adhesion layers in microelectronics applications. TiW-30 effectively etches Ti-tungsten films deposited on silicon nitride, or silicon oxide. TiW-30 provides excellent definition and etch rate control. Broad compatibility with positive and negative photoresists is offered.

APPLICATION:

Ti-Tungsten TiW-30 etchant is a ready-to-use solution specifically designed to remove titanium-tungsten alloy adhesion layers from substrates such as silicon dioxide and silicon nitride. TiW-30 will not attack aluminum films. Heating the etchant to 40°C will speed the etch rate for thicker films.

PROPERTIES OF TRANSENE Ti-TUNGSTEN TiW-30

How do I increase the etch rate? 1. The rate will approximately double with every 10°C increase in temperature.
2. Increase the rate of stirring or agitation.
How do I reduce the etch rate? Adding 1 part deionized water to 2 parts etchant will reduce the etch rate approximately 50%.
Do I need to dilute the etchant? No, it is ready to use.
How do I reduce undercutting? Increase the rate of stirring or agitation.
