Silicon oxide can be etched using HF. At Danchip it is mainly used in a buffered version BHF (premixed). You can find safety datasheets on Kemibrug [http://kemibrug.dk here] The BHF has a more stable etch rate and is more gentle to photoresist due to an almost pH neutral solution which makes photoresist a good masking material for the oxide etch.

SIO etch (BHF with wetting agent) can also be used for etching silicon oxide. This is mainly for etching small holes. If you have wetting problems in BHF try the SIO etch. It is also a good idea to wet the sample in water for a few minutes before etching.
