    摘要: A method for cleaning and drying a front and a back surface of a substrate is provided. The method includes brush scrubbing the back surface of the substrate using a brush scrubbing fluid chemistry. The method further includes applying a front meniscus onto the front surface of the substrate upon completing the brush scrubbing of the back surface. The front meniscus includes a front cleaning chemistry that is chemically compatible with the brush scrubbing fluid chemistry.

    摘要: An apparatus for use in processing a substrate includes a brush enclosure extending over a length. The brush enclosure is configured to be disposed over a surface of the substrate and has an open region that is configured to be disposed in proximity to the substrate. The open region extends over the length of the brush enclosure and enables foam from within the brush enclosure to contact the surface of the substrate. A substrate cleaning system and method for cleaning a substrate are also described.

    摘要: Method for processing a substrate are provided. The processing occurs when the substrate is moved between cluster tools. One method includes providing the substrate to a cluster tool, and the cluster tool is configured to move the substrate into a meniscus processing module having at least one proximity head. The proximity head is configured to perform operations including applying a fluid onto a region of a surface of the substrate, such the fluid is continuously flown so as to substantially fill the region between a surface of the proximity head and the surface of the substrate. An operation of removing the fluid from the region by applying a vacuum force through the proximity head is also provided. The applying and removing is operated substantially simultaneously so that the fluid forms a controlled fluid meniscus that remains between the surface of the substrate and the surface of the proximity head when the proximity head is positioned over the substrate. The method can include moving one of the controlled fluid meniscus or the substrate so that the controlled fluid meniscus is caused to contact regions of the surface of the substrate to cause fluid processing of the surface of the substrate when in the meniscus processing module. The method can also include moving the substrate out of the meniscus processing module and into a next module of the of the cluster tool or out of the cluster tool.

    摘要: A proximity head and associated method of use is provided for performing confined area planarization of a semiconductor wafer. The proximity head includes a chamber defined to maintain an electrolyte solution. A cathode is disposed within the chamber in exposure to the electrolyte solution. A cation exchange membrane is disposed over a lower opening of the chamber. A top surface of the cation exchange membrane is in direct exposure to the electrolyte solution to be maintained within the chamber. A fluid supply channel is defined to expel fluid at a location adjacent to a lower surface of the cation exchange membrane. A vacuum channel is defined to provide suction at a location adjacent to the lower surface of the cation exchange membrane, such that the fluid to be expelled from the fluid supply channel is made to flow over the lower surface of the cation exchange membrane.

    摘要: A system and apparatus for cleaning a substrate is provided. The system includes a first head configured as a bar shape that extends approximately a diameter of the substrate. The first head is configured for placement on a first side of the substrate. A second head is also provided, and is configured as a bar shape that extends approximately the diameter of the wafer, and the second head is configured for placement on a second side of the substrate, such that the second side is opposite the first side. In this example, each of the first head and the second head have conduits formed therein along the diameter of the substrate for delivering and removing fluids so that a meniscus is capable of being contained between each of the first head and a substrate surface of the first side of the substrate and the second head and a substrate surface of the second side of the substrate.

    摘要: A method for cleaning the surface of a semiconductor wafer is disclosed. A first cleaning solution is applied to the wafer surface to remove contaminants on the wafer surface. The first cleaning solution is removed with some of the contaminants on the wafer surface. Next, an oxidizer solution is applied to the wafer surface. The oxidizer solution forms an oxidized layer on remaining contaminants. The oxidizer solution is removed and then a second cleaning solution is applied to the wafer surface. The second cleaning solution is removed from the wafer surface. The cleaning solution is configured to substantially remove the oxidized layer along with the remaining contaminants.
