problem in BHF etching

dear kamlesh,

               I agree with Mr sinha.if you have facility you can use thermal
oxide in place of PECVD or LPCVD.We use the following recipe for BHF
(30gm NH4OH in 45 ml of DI water)-after filtering one ninth of filtered solution
we add HFto it.

I hope this may work.
