Features Of Wet Electronic Chemicals Electronic Grade Nitric Acid

  1. Ultra-low metallic impurity levels (<1 ppt for key cations including Fe, Cu, Ni, Cr, and Al).

  2. Exceptionally low particulate count (<1 particle/mL @ ≥0.1 µm, measured per SEMI F57).

  3. Controlled anionic impurities (Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, PO₄³⁻ < 10 ppt) to prevent residue formation and device corrosion.

  4. Stabilized formulation with ultra-high purity quartz or fluoropolymer packaging to minimize leachables.

  5. Consistent batch-to-batch reproducibility certified via ICP-MS, IC, and light scattering analysis.

Typical Applications Of Wet Electronic Chemicals Electronic Grade Nitric Acid

  1. Front-end-of-line (FEOL) silicon wafer cleaning prior to gate oxide growth.

  2. Post-etch residue removal for aluminum and titanium-based metallization layers.

  3. Photoresist stripping in advanced logic and memory fabrication (28 nm and below).

  4. Surface passivation and native oxide control during MEMS and power device processing.

  5. Pre-diffusion cleaning for high-voltage semiconductor substrates.

Wet Electronic Chemicals Electronic Grade Nitric Acid – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for electronic grade nitric acid?

A: The CAS number is 7697-37-2. Our electronic grade material conforms strictly to this identity and is verified by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy per SEMI C37.


Q2: How does usage concentration affect etch selectivity in aluminum metallization processes?

A: At 69–70 wt%, it delivers optimal Al:SiO₂ selectivity (>150:1) with minimal silicon substrate attack. Dilution below 65 wt% increases silicon undercut; undiluted handling requires strict thermal control to avoid NOₓ off-gassing.


Q3: How does this product compare to semiconductor-grade nitric acid from other suppliers?

A: Unlike standard semiconductor grades, our electronic grade undergoes triple sub-boiling distillation under Class 1 cleanroom conditions, followed by 0.02 µm final filtration and real-time particle monitoring — achieving >10× lower Na⁺/K⁺ and consistent Cl⁻ < 5 ppt.


Q4: Is migration testing data available for use in EU and U.S. fab environments?

A: Yes. Migration studies per SEMI F71 show extractables < 0.1 ng/cm² for FEP containers after 72h at 25°C, with full compliance to IEC 60747-17 (semiconductor device cleanliness) and U.S. FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 for incidental contact.


Q5: Does this nitric acid require special ventilation or handling beyond standard fuming acid protocols?

A: Yes. Due to ultra-low impurity specifications, exposure to ambient air must be minimized: use inert gas blanketing (N₂ or Ar) during dispensing, and maintain dew point ≤ −40°C in delivery lines to prevent moisture-induced particulation.
