Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the cost of regeneration of an FeCl3 etching soln. and to prolong the service life of the soln. by adding an oxidizing agent to the soln. to oxidize Fe<2+> in the soln. to Fe<3+> and to restore the etching performance. CONSTITUTION:When the etching performance of an FeCl3 etching soln. is deteriorated in photoetching, etc., an oxidizing agent such as NaClO3, NaClO, KMnO4 or NaBrO is added to the soln. Fe<2+> in the soln. is oxidized to Fe<3+>, an aq. FeCl3 soln. is reproduced and the oxidation-reduction potential is raised. Since gaseous chlorine is not blown, regenerating work is safely carried out.
