What Is Ammonium Fluoride Used For?
The use of ammonium fluoride (NH4F) is widespread in the fields of electronics, glass manufacturing, and metal production. The main purpose of using it is to obtain fluoride ions for etching silicon wafers in the production of semiconductor materials and integrated circuits. By removing the native oxide layer from the silicon surface, fluorine ions enable precise and controlled etching for electronic devices. Ammonium fluoride serves as a flux for the production of opal glass, frosted glass, and enamels in the glass industry. The reduction of the melting point of this glass reduces its density and enhances the fluidity of molten glass, making it easier to manufacture. Moreover, hydrofluoric acid is produced from ammonium fluoride, which is employed to clean and etch glass surfaces. Moreover, ammonium fluoride is employed as a staining agent in the metal sector. It is used to remove oxide layers and other impurities from the surface of metals, especially stainless steel and aluminum, before further processing or coating. Ammonium fluoride’s ions in the fluoridation process dissolve these unwanted surface layers.
