    摘要: A method for processing a substrate using a proximity head is disclosed. The method is initiated by, providing a head with a head surface positioned proximate to a surface of the substrate. The head has a width and a length, and the head has a plurality of ports that are configured in rows along the length of the head. The plurality of rows can extend over a width of the head, and there is a first group of ports configured to dispense a first fluid. The first fluid is dispensed to the surface of the substrate forming a meniscus between the surface of the substrate and the surface of the head. The method also includes delivering gaseous carbon dioxide from a second group of ports of the head to an interface between the meniscus and the substrate. The carbon dioxide assists in promoting a reduced surface tension on the meniscus relative to surface of the substrate.

    摘要: Systems and methods for cleaning particulate contaminants adhered to wafer surfaces are provided. A cleaning media including dispersed coupling elements suspended within the cleaning media is applied over a wafer surface. External energy is applied to the cleaning media to generate periodic shear stresses within the media. The periodic shear stresses impart momentum and/or drag forces on the coupling elements causing the coupling elements to interact with the particulate contaminants to remove the particulate contaminants from the wafer surfaces.

    摘要: Apparatus, methods, and computer programs for cleaning opposed surfaces of a semiconductor wafer are presented. One apparatus includes first, second, and third valves, and one or more second drains. The first valves are coupled to a supply of rinsing solution and to first throughways that are coupled to an immersion tank above a region in the immersion tank, the region being defined by an area occupied by the substrate when the substrate is disposed vertically on a support within the immersion tank. The second valves are coupled to first drains and to second throughways that are coupled to the immersion tank below the region, and the third valves are coupled to a supply of cleaning solution and to third throughways that are coupled to the immersion tank below the region. Further, the second drains are coupled to fourth throughways that are coupled to the immersion tank above the region.

    摘要: An apparatus for cleaning a substrate is disclosed. The apparatus having a first head unit and a second head unit. The first head unit is positioned proximate to the surface of the substrate and has a first row of channels defined within configured to supply a foam to the surface of the substrate. The second head unit is positioned substantially adjacent to the first head unit and proximate to the surface of the substrate. A second and a third row of channels are defined within the second head unit. The second row of channels is configured to supply a fluid to the surface of the substrate. The third row of channels is configured to apply a vacuum to the surface of the substrate.
