摘要:
A single wafer cleaning apparatus that includes a rotatable bracket that can hold a wafer, a rinse fluid having a first surface tension, a second fluid having a second surface tension lower than the first surface tension, a first nozzle capable of applying the rinse fluid at a first location on the wafer positioned in the bracket, second nozzle capable of applying the second fluid at a second location on the wafer where the second location is inboard of the first location, and the first nozzle and the second nozzle are capable of moving across the wafer to translate the first location and the second location from the wafer center to the wafer outer edge.
摘要:
A method of and apparatus for mixing chemicals in a single wafer process. According to the present invention a chemical is fed into a valve system having a tube of a known volume. The chemical is fed into the valve system to fill the tube with a chemical to generate a measured amount of the chemical. The measured amount of chemical is then used in a single wafer process.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing a wafer is described. According to the present invention a wafer is placed on a substrate support. A liquid is then fed through a conduit having an output opening over the wafer. A gas is dissolved in the liquid prior to the liquid reaching the output over the wafer by flowing a gas into the conduit through a venturi opening formed in the conduit. The liquid with dissolved gas is then fed through the opening and onto the wafer where it can be used to etch, clean, or rinse a wafer.
摘要:
The present invention is a novel termination of silicon dioxide films for use in a single wafer cleaning tool. According to the present invention a silicon dioxide film is formed on a silicon substrate and the film is then terminated with ammonium oxide (—O—NH4). In an embodiment of the present invention the film is terminated by dispensing a mixture containing ammonium oxide onto the film. The present invention also provides a method of forming a gate insulator as well as a gate insulator device.

The present invention is a novel cleaning method and a solution for use in a single wafer cleaning process. According to the present invention the cleaning solution comprises ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), water (H2O) and a chelating agent. In an embodiment of the present invention the cleaning solution also contains a surfactant. And still yet another embodiment of the present invention the cleaning solution also comprises a dissolved gas such as H2. In a particular embodiment of the present invention, this solution is used by spraying or dispensing it on a spinning wafer.
