摘要: An apparatus and method is described for cleaning semiconductor wafers using a dilute aqueous solution including at least 80% deionized water, sulfuric acid, an oxidant such as hydrogen peroxide, and a small amount of hydrofluoric acid (HF), preferably in the range of about 5 ppm to about 12 ppm. The automated system mixes the water, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and HF to form a cleaning solution having a target HF concentration within the preferred range, for example at 8 ppm. Subsequently, the system maintains the HF concentration at least within about 0.5 ppm to about 1 ppm of the target HF concentration. Thus the system allows effective and predictable cleaning of semiconductor wafers while minimizing damage to metal features, and minimizing cost and waste disposal impacts.

摘要: The present invention provides an apparatus for cleaning a workpiece with a cleaning medium that is maintained at a single fluid phase. The apparatus comprises means for providing the cleaning medium; a pressurizable cleaning vessel for receiving the cleaning medium and the workpiece; and means for maintaining a single fluid phase of the cleaning medium in the cleaning vessel. The present invention further provides a process for cleaning the workpiece with cleaning medium under conditions such that the workpiece is exposed to a single fluid phase of the cleaning medium. The present invention further includes a process for a storage media that includes instructions for controlling a processor for the process of the present invention. The storage media comprises means for controlling the processor to control contacting conditions of the workpiece and the cleaning medium such that the workpiece is exposed to a single fluid phase of the cleaning medium.

摘要: Oxides such as those commonly used in interlevel dielectrics may be removed employing a liquid composition containing a fluoride-containing compound and an organic solvent. Preferred compositions are substantially nonaqueous and include an anhydride. Improved methods for selective removal of oxides, especially for removal of silicon oxides where pre-exposed (or conductive metal - containing) features are present, where metal (conductive metal - contaimg) features are to be exposed by the desired oxide removal, or where the silcon oxide otherwise contacts metal (or conductive metal - containing) features are provided.
