    摘要: A system and method are disclosed including a vapor dryer chamber (12) with a lid (14). A heater (16) is disposed within the vapor dryer chamber to vaporize liquid drying medium (24), preferably isopropyl alcohol, in the bottom of the vapor dryer chamber (12). Cooling coils (18) disposed within an upper portion of the vapor drying chamber (12) condense the drying medium vapor. A vapor monitor assembly (30) is disposed within the vapor dryer chamber (12) to monitor the vapor concentration within vapor dryer chamber (12). A controller (40) is associated with the vapor monitor assembly (30) and evaluates vapor concentration measurements from the vapor monitor (38).

    摘要: A method for resist strip and particle removal. Wafers (108) with a patterned resist formed thereon are placed on a wafer chuck (104) in a scrubber tool (100,200). Ozonated deionized water (112) is applied to the surface of wafer (108). The ozonated deionized water (112) strips the resist and removes the resist residue without the use of hazardous chemicals. Particle removal is accomplished in the same tool (100,200). The ozonated deionized water (112) is formed in a closed canister (114). Deionized water is circulated through the canister (114) and ozone is added to the deionized water at a premixer (118).

    摘要: The present invention provides a system (100) for conditioning multi-component slurries utilized in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of semiconductor wafers (140). The system provides a first slurry component (108), and a second slurry component (120). A conditioning component (102) has first and second inlets, and an outlet operatively coupled to a dispensing system (138). First and second flow control components (116, 126) are operably intercoupled between the first and second inlets and the first and second slurry components, respectively. The system further provides a megasonic energy source (106), adapted to generate an energy field (118) across the conditioning component. A conveyance component (114) conducts the slurry components from the inlets through the energy field, and delivers a final mixture (136) of multi-component slurry to the outlet.

    摘要: A method for resist strip and metal contamination removal. Wafers (108) with a patterned resist formed thereon are subjected to an ozonated deionized water solution, such as mist (120). The ozonated deionized water solution (120) strips the resist and removes the resist residue. At the end of the process, HCl (152) is added to the deionized water (116) prior to forming the ozonated deionized water solution (120) to remove metal contaminants.
