Etching method, method of producing a semiconductor device, and etchant therefor

摘要

A method of etching material as a transparent conductive film, a method of producing a semiconductor device, and an etchant therefor are disclosed. These method and etchant are simple, excellent in etching selectivity, and stable for a long time. The methods include the steps of disposing paste on material wherein the paste includes an etching solution and at least one kind of fine particles. A method of producing a semiconductor device, including the above-described etching steps is also disclosed.
