  • EP 1 843 389 B1 a process is described which allows the back etching of an emitter to achieve a better surface performance. It is described the use of an etching solution for the oxidation of a semiconductor substrate, which stops by itself after a defined etching depth until a layer of a certain thickness has been removed from the surface.
