    摘要: A pressure is maintained within a volume within which a semiconductor wafer resides at a pressure that is sufficient to maintain a liquid state of a precursor fluid to a non-Newtonian fluid. The precursor fluid is disposed proximate to a material to be removed from the semiconductor wafer while maintaining the precursor fluid in the liquid state. The pressure is reduced in the volume within which the semiconductor wafer resides such that the precursor fluid disposed on the wafer within the volume is transformed into the non-Newtonian fluid. An expansion of the precursor fluid and movement of the precursor fluid relative to the wafer during transformation into the non-Newtonian fluid causes the resulting non-Newtonian fluid to remove the material from the semiconductor wafer.

    摘要: Methods and systems for handling a substrate through processes including an integrated electroless deposition process includes processing a surface of the substrate in an electroless deposition module to deposit a layer over conductive features of the substrate using a deposition fluid. The surface of the substrate is then rinsed in the electroless deposition module with a rinsing fluid. The rinsing is controlled to prevent de-wetting of the surface so that a transfer film defined from the rinsing fluid remains coated over the surface of the substrate. The substrate is removed from the electroless deposition module while maintaining the transfer film over the surface of the substrate. The transfer film over the surface of the substrate prevents drying of the surface of the substrate so that the removing is wet. The substrate, once removed from the electroless deposition module, is moved into a post-deposition module while maintaining the transfer film over the surface of the substrate.

    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: Methods for processing substrate through a head that is configured to be placed in close non-contact proximity to a surface of a substrate are provided. One method includes applying a first fluid onto the surface of the substrate from conduits in the head when the head is in close proximity to the surface of the substrate and removing the first fluid from the surface of the substrate. The removing is processed just as first fluid is applied to the surface of the substrate, and the removing ensures that the applied first fluid is contained between a surface of the head and the surface of the substrate and the first fluid being applied and removed defines a controlled meniscus. The method further includes moving the controlled meniscus over different regions of the surface of the substrate when movement of the head or the substrate is dictated. The moving of the controlled meniscus enables processing of part or all of the surface of the substrate using the first fluid.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed in which a semiconductor substrate having a surface containing contaminants is cleaned or otherwise subjected to chemical treatment using a foam. The semiconductor wafer is supported either on a stiff support (or a layer of foam) and foam is provided on the opposite surface of the semiconductor wafer while the semiconductor wafer is supported. The foam contacting the semiconductor wafer is pressurized using a form to produce a jammed foam. Relative movement between the form and the semiconductor wafer. such as oscillation parallel and/or perpendicular to the top surface of the semiconductor wafer. is then induced while the jammed foam is in contact with the semiconductor wafer to remove the undesired contaminants and/or otherwise chemically treat the surface of the semiconductor wafer using the foam.
