Abstract(in English) The etching characteristics of the Si_<1-x-y>Ge_xC_y epitaxial films in BHF (NH_4F/HF/H_2O) have been studied by a step profiler and an angle resolved XPS. The Si film (x=0,y=0) is etched by the alkaline range BHF. The Ge epitaxial film (x=1,y=0) is etched only in BHF with NH_4F. The Si_<1-x-y>Ge_xC_y films (X=0.16-0.413) were etched in the alkaline range BHF (HF=0.01wt%, NH_4F=40wt%). The etching rates of the Si_<1-x-y>Ge_xC_y films in the alkaline range BHF are less than those of the Si_<1-x-y>Ge_x film. The XPS intensity ratio as a function of the take-off-angle shows that the surface segregation of Ge is in the monolayer order on the Si_<0.6>Ge_<0.4> surface and increases with pH. It is suggested that the surface segregation of Ge on the Si_<0.6>Ge_<0.4> film surface occur by difference of the etching characteristics of the Si and Ge in BHF.
