Is three is differences between BOE and HF solution (10-48%) for etching native oxide layer?

Typically, to etch native oxide (approx 10-20 A) on silicon you can use
10% HF (etch rate approx 20-30 nm/min).
BOE has a much higher etch rate (for e.g. approx 80-90 nm/min for 6:1
BOE) and so is used to etch thick thermal oxide layers.
Hope it helps.
