A photo-sensitive etchant comprising (1) a first composition comprising a substance capable of producing water upon exposure to light, a binder and a solvent and (2) a second composition comprising a compound capable of producing, upon exposure to light, a metal-etching substance or a substance which reacts with another other substance to form a metal-etching product, a binder and a solvent; and a method for forming metal image by using the photosensitive etchant.

Photo-sensitive etchant and method for forming metal image using same

A light-sensitive etching agent comprising (a) a photodecomposable compound forming upon decomposition a material capable of etching a silicon compound containing film or capable of etching the film after reaction with another material, (b) a material capable of forming water upon exposure to light, (c) a binder and (d) a solvent, and a method of making a semiconductor device utilizing the light-sensitive etching agent.

Method of making a semiconductor device utilizing a light-sensitive

A method of forming patterns on a semiconductor element is disclosed comprising the steps of (a) depositing a coating of silicon nitride, borosilicate glass, or phosphosilicate glass on the surface of a semiconductor substrate, (b) applying a photosensitive etching solution layer to the coating and drying it, (c) irradiating the substrate with ultraviolet radiation through a photomask having a required pattern to decompose the photosensitive solution and etch the coating, and (d) removing the photosensitive solution, the decomposed material, and the reaction product of the decomposed material and the coating with an organic solvent. The photosensitive etching solution consists of a compound which may be decomposed by light to a material which etches the coating, or a compound obtained from the reaction between the photodecomposed material and other material in the solution which etches said coating.
