Abstract
Embodiments of compositions of a wet etchant and additive thereto for selectively etching silicon nitride to silicon oxide are disclosed. In an example, a composition of an additive to a phosphoric acid etchant includes an inhibitor and a dispersant. The inhibitor is absorbable on a surface of silicon oxide and capable of inhibiting etching of the surface of silicon oxide by the phosphoric acid etchant. The dispersant is capable of reacting with a by-product of a reaction between the phosphoric acid etchant and at least one of silicon oxide and silicon nitride and reducing a viscosity of the phosphoric acid etchant.
