Strict lot-to-lot reproducibility certified via ICP-MS, TOC, and particle analysis per SEMI C37 and C42 standards.
Etchant for silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) removal in front-end-of-line (FEOL) gate stack patterning.
Photoresist stripping and post-etch residue cleaning in advanced logic and memory device fabrication.
Surface conditioning of copper interconnects prior to barrier layer deposition in back-end-of-line (BEOL) processes.
Pre-clean solution for high-k dielectric films (e.g., HfO₂, Al₂O₃) in atomic layer etching (ALE) integration schemes.
Component in mixed-acid formulations for selective oxide-to-nitride etch ratios in 3D NAND and DRAM manufacturing.

Q1: What is the CAS Number for Electronic Grade Phosphoric Acid?
A: The CAS Registry Number is 7664-38-2. All lots are traceable to certified reference materials and accompanied by full analytical certificates.
Q2: What is the recommended working concentration and temperature range for Si₃N₄ etching?
A: Typical working concentration is 65–75 wt% H₃PO₄ diluted with deionized water; optimal temperature range is 155–165 °C. Etch rate is 40–60 Å/min at 160 °C with ±2 °C bath stability.
Q3: How does this electronic grade phosphoric acid differ from industrial or technical grade?
A: Unlike industrial grades, our electronic grade undergoes multi-stage sub-micron filtration, continuous ultra-purification via distillation under inert atmosphere, and rigorous testing for Na, K, Fe, Cu, Ni, Cr, Zn, Al, Ca, Mg, Cl⁻, SO₄²⁻, and NO₃⁻ — all verified below detection limits per ICP-MS.
Q4: Is this product compliant with semiconductor industry migration and leaching requirements for high-aspect-ratio structures?
A: Yes. It meets SEMI F57-0319 requirements for extractables testing (24-hr soak in 18.2 MΩ·cm DI water at 65 °C), with total ion release <0.5 ng/cm² for critical metals and <10 ng/cm² for anions — validated on patterned 3D NAND test wafers.
