Abstract

A semiconductor wet etchant includes deionized water, a fluorine-based compound, an oxidizer and an inorganic salt. A concentration of the fluorine-based compound is 0.25 to 10.0 wt % based on a total weight of the etchant, a concentration of the oxidizer is 0.45 to 3.6 wt % based on a total weight of the etchant, and a concentration of the inorganic salt is 1.0 to 5.0 wt % based on a total weight of the etchant. The inorganic salt comprises at least one of an ammonium ion (NH4+) and a chlorine ion (Cl−).
