    摘要: A substrate cleaning method includes injecting a cluster generating gas from a cluster nozzle into a processing chamber, generating gas clusters by adiabatically expanding the cluster generating gas, and removing particles adhered to a target substrate in the processing chamber by irradiating the gas clusters onto the target substrate. The cluster generating gas is selected based on a product Φ of energy K per molecule or atom of the cluster generating gas that is expressed by the following equation (1) and an index C indicating the ease with which the gas forms clusters that is expressed by the following equation (2), K=1/2mv2=γ/γ−1kBT0 . . . (1) C=(Tb/T0)γ/γ−1 . . . (2) where kB: a Boltzmann constant, γ: a specific heat ratio of the cluster generating gas, m: a mass of the cluster generating gas, v: a speed of the cluster generating gas, T0: a gas supply temperature, Tb: a boiling point of the cluster generating gas.

    摘要: In a titanium oxide film removal method and apparatus, a silicon substrate having the titanium oxide film is supported on a spin chuck. A first mixed aqueous solution including hydrofluoric acid and non-oxidizing acid or a second mixed aqueous solution including hydrofluoric acid and organic acid is supplied to the silicon substrate while rotating the silicon substrate together with the spin chuk. The first or the second aqueous solution comes into contact with the titanium oxide film existing on the silicon substrate to remove the titanium oxide film by a reaction between the first or the second mixed aqueous solution and the titanium oxide film.
