A chemical refining and reuse method and apparatus efficiently remove water from a waste chemical used in a semiconductor device fabrication process. The method is superior to conventional refining methods, in that water is removed at the end of the refining process, followed only by particle removal, so that water is not reintroduced into the waste chemical during metallic impurity removal. Therefore, the refined waste chemical has a percentage of water therein which is equal to that of the chemical in an initial raw state. The method includes: a) removing ionic impurities contained in the waste chemical; b) removing metallic impurities contained in the waste chemical after removing the ionic impurities; c) removing water contained in the waste chemical after removing the metallic impurities; and d) removing particles contained in the waste chemical after removing the water.

Cleaning solutions for application to semiconductor substrates comprise hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, and water. Methods of cleaning semiconductor substrates comprise contacting the semiconductor substrates having contaminants contained thereon with cleaning solutions comprising hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, and water; contacting the semiconductor substrates with first baths of water to remove the cleaning solutions contained on the semiconductor substrates; contacting the semiconductor substrates with second baths containing water to remove the contaminants contained on the semiconductor substrates; and rotating the semiconductor substrates to remove water remaining thereon to clean the semiconductor substrates.

A method for correcting color variations on the surface of a wafer, a method for selectively detecting a defect from different patterns, and computer readable recording media for the same are provided. Color variations in images of different parts of a wafer can be corrected using the mean and standard deviation of grey level values for the pixels forming each of the different parts of the wafer. In addition, different threshold values are applied to metal interconnect patterns and spaces of the wafer so that a defect can be selectively detected from the different patterns. Thus, a bridge known as a fatal, or killing defect to a semiconductor device can be detected without also falsely detecting grains as fatal defects. Due to increased defect screening capacity of the methods, the defect detecting method can be further efficiently managed.

A drying system for drying a semiconductor substrate is provided. The drying system includes: a chamber for housing a vapor distributor and a fluid bath, said fluid bath being disposed in a lower portion of the chamber and said distributor being disposed in an upper portion of the chamber for distributing vapor for drying the substrate; and a fluid flow system for supplying fluid flow into said fluid bath for cleaning and drying the substrate and for draining said fluid from the fluid bath, wherein the chamber includes a plurality of exhaust vents disposed at the upper portion for venting the vapor.
摘要:
Monitoring metal contamination of a rinsing solution may include providing a sample of the rinsing solution, and mixing the sample of the rinsing solution with a monitoring reagent to provide a monitoring mixture. A property of the monitoring mixture that is dependent on a concentration of a metal in the rinsing solution may then be measured. More particularly, the property of the monitoring mixture may be an absorbency of the monitoring mixture with respect to electromagnetic radiation transmitted through the monitoring mixture. Related systems and reagents are also discussed.
