Hydrofluoric acid used for this purpose is required to be a high-purity product with extremely few impurities, and not only hydrofluoric acid but also chemicals used in semiconductor manufacturing are being highly purified year by year. . With the high integration of semiconductors, the required metal impurity concentration in chemicals has reached the order of ppm to ppb, and the order of tens of ppt to several ppt.

According to Patent Document 1, there is a method using an oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate. However, since manganese and chromium contained in the oxidizing agent are distilled off and the purified hydrofluoric acid is contaminated, a divalent iron salt must be used in combination, and further contamination occurs.

Lowering is exemplified. It is obvious that the electrode force composed of metal dissolves in metal hydrofluoric acid as well as the metal impurity, and cannot be used as a chemical for semiconductor manufacturing. Patent Document 3 discloses a method for removing arsenic impurities in hydrofluoric acid. This method involves dissolving fluorine gas in hydrofluoric acid, reacting it with the arsenic compound contained in hydrofluoric acid, and purifying it by distillation.If this method is used, hydrofluoric acid that does not dissolve metal impurities can be used. It is a very good method that can be purified. However, according to Patent Document 3, the concentration of arsenic compounds in purified hydrofluoric acid is about 100ppt. Cannot meet the demands of the semiconductor manufacturing industry.
