    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition for selectively etching a first silicon germanium layer having a first germanium content in the presence of a silicon layer or a second silicon germanium layer having a second germanium content, where the first germanium content is higher than the second germanium content, the composition including: (a) from 0.1 to 10% by weight of an oxidizing agent; (b) from 1 to 20% by weight of an etchant including a source of fluoride ions; (c) from 0.001 to 3% by weight of a selectivity enhancer of formula Si (d) from 0.001 to 3% by weight of an additional selectivity enhancer of formula S41 or derivatives thereof obtained by homocondensation of the compounds of formula S41 or by co-condensation of the compounds of formula S41 with silanes of formula S42 in a weight ratio of 0.1 or more and (e) water.
