    摘要: Recycled slurry is continuously blended with the slurry in use to provide a consistent polishing rate while consuming or discarding a small fraction of the slurry flowing continuously across the polishing pad. The slurry is recovered in a catch ring and fed to a recycle loop to blend the recovered slurry with fresh slurry, rejuvenating chemicals, or water; test the blend; filter the blend; and return the blend to the polishing pad. The volume returned to the pad slightly exceeds the volume recovered, causing the catch ring to overflow. Rinse water is recycled in the same fashion to keep the polishing pad wet between polishing cycles.

    摘要: A method for the on-site reprocessing of isopropyl alcohol used in semiconductor manufacturing, to generate an ultradry and ultrapure isopropyl alcohol. This ultradry and ultrapure isopropyl alcohol is produced through a pervaporation step, followed by double distillation. In the first distillation step, an autonomous azeotropic self-stripping distillation column is used to produce an ultradry and partially purified isopropyl alcohol. In the next step, the isopropyl alcohol is distilled in an overhead product distillation column, to produce an ultrapure and ultradry isopropyl alcohol. Alternatively, if the feed isopropyl alcohol contains less than 2000 ppm water, the pervaporation step may be omitted.The resulting isopropyl alcohol has between a high of 100 parts per million (ppm) and a low of 0.1 ppm of water in the isopropyl alcohol. It also has zero particles per milliliter of a size larger than 2.0 microns, zero to 2 particles per milliliter of a size of 0.5 micron to 2.0 microns, zero to 30 particles per milliliter of a size between 0.1 microns and 0.5 microns, an unspecified number of particles per milliliter below 0.1 microns, 1 part per trillion (ppt) to 1 part per billion (ppb) of any specific trace impurity such as metals, anions, and cations, and 10 ppt to 10 ppm of any other specific trace organic substances.

    摘要: Waste water from an apparatus that rinses particles from semiconductor wafers is collected in a tank. A pump sends waste water from the tank through a particle filter and onward to a supply inlet for initial rinse stages of the processing apparatus. Some of the waste water is bleed from the tank and replenished by fresh water introduced into the final rinse stage of the apparatus. If the semiconductor processing so dictates, chemicals may be added to the waste water to alter the pH and/or prevent the precipitation of solids in the tank. The addition of such chemicals can be controlled automatically in response to sensed characteristics of the waste water.

    摘要: A method for the removal and purification of substantially all of the fluoride ions contained in a solution containing greater than 10 parts per million (ppm) fluoride ion, a mixture of other anions, silicon in the form of a fluorosilicic acid, silicic acid, silicates, or silicon tetrafluoride, and optionally also containing complex metal fluorides, to produce an ultrapure hydrofluoric acid, comprising the steps of (a) adjusting the pH of the solution to an alkaline pH to hydrolyze the fluorosilicic acid and any complex metal fluorides; (b) removing the fluoride ions and other anions from the solution by passing the solution through an ion exchange resin, where the ion exchange resin is adapted to adsorb substantially all of the fluoride passed over the ion exchange resin; (c) displacing the fluoride ions and other anions bound to the ion exchange resin, thereby forming a mixture of anions in an effluent emanating from resin; (d) optionally concentrating the effluent at a high pH and then lowering the pH; and (e) distilling the mixture of anions in the effluent from a sulfuric acid solution to generate ultrapure hydrofluoric acid. An apparatus useful for practicing the method is also disclosed.

    摘要: A process for control of recycle of ammoniacal copper etchant which uses metallic aluminum to remove copper without substantially adding undesirable byproducts, by controlling the temperature and mixture rate of the removal process. The very rapid reaction can be controlled by using a diluent of copper-free etchant, heating to process temperature, then adding spent, copper containing etchant at a controlled rate while actively cooling the system to control the temperature. The copper concentration can be monitored by colorimetry while maintaining the pH above pH 8. The separated metallic copper and aluminum hydroxide sludge are easily filtered from the etchant. The purified etchant is now suitable for chemical adjustment and reuse.

    摘要: A metal dissolving liquid and method for stripping tin and solder coatings, including the underlying tin-copper alloy, from the copper substrate of a printed circuit board. The liquid includes an aqueous solution of nitric acid in an amount sufficient to dissolve solder and tin, a source of ferric ions in an amount sufficient to dissolve tin-copper alloy, a source of halide ions in an amount sufficient to solubilize tin, an effective amount of methylsulfonic acid as promoter for complete stripping, and a source of an organic, water soluble amine. The combination of ingredients will substantially eliminate sludge formation, reduce attack on the copper substrate and provide a bright copper finish after solder removal. A liquid further including organic triazoles including benzotriazole in amounts not more than about 5% by weight and sulfamic ions in amounts not more than about 2.5% by weight.
