Abstract:
A method for producing ozone gas-dissolved water includes a process in which a mixed gas of an ozone gas and an oxygen gas and degassed water are supplied to an ozone-dissolving section and the mixed gas is dissolved in the degassed water. The amount of the mixed gas supplied to the ozone-dissolving section is controlled such that the sum of the dissolved oxygen gas concentration of the degassed water and the increment of the dissolved oxygen gas concentration calculated from the amount of the oxygen gas in the mixed gas and the amount of the degassed water on the assumption that ozone in the mixed gas entirely decomposes into oxygen is less than or equal to the saturated solubility of the oxygen gas under conditions using the obtained ozone gas-dissolved water.
Abstract:
The present invention reduces adhesion of trace metals in ultrapure water for cleaning products, and inhibits the metal contamination of an object to be cleaned. Provided is a metal contamination inhibitor that contains a polymer having an ion-exchange group, such as a polystyrene sulfonate having a molecular weight of at least 100,000. Trace metals in ultrapure water are adsorbed through an ion-exchange reaction of the polymer having the ion-exchange group, and can thus be inhibited from adhering to products. Also provided is a method for cleaning a product with ultrapure water to which the metal contamination inhibitor has been added. Preferably, the ultrapure water to which the metal contamination inhibitor has been added flows through a separation membrane module, and the products are cleaned with permeated water.
Abstract:
To measure the concentration of an oxidant in an oxidative cleaning liquid used in a process of cleaning an electronic material in a simple, easy, consistent, and accurate manner without being affected by impurities included in the cleaning liquid, such as metals. A method for measuring the concentration of an oxidant in a sample liquid used as a cleaning liquid in a process of cleaning an electronic material includes decomposing at least part of an oxidant included in the sample liquid by heating or the like; measuring the amount of oxygen gas generated by decomposition of the oxidant; and determining the concentration of the oxidant in the sample liquid on the basis of the amount of the oxygen gas.
