P09047 Etch Protective Coating


Brewer Science® BSI.P09047 developmental material is a spin-
applied coating regimen designed to protect CMOS-MEMS
circuitry during acidic etches using hydrofluoric acid (49% HF
at 23°C), phosphoric acid (85% at 50°C), nitric acid (69% at
50°C), or buffered oxide etchant (BOE) etching solutions.
