    摘要: In a workpiece processor (10), a head (12) is moveable onto a bowl (56) to form a process chamber (58). A workpiece (100) can be cleaned in the processor by immersing the workpiece into a liquid bath in the bowl and then boiling the liquid. Vacuum may be applied to the chamber to reduce the pressure within the chamber, thereby reducing the boiling temperature of the liquid and allowing processing at lower temperatures. In a separate method for prewetting a workpiece, a humid gas is provided into the process chamber and condenses on the workpiece. In another separate method for wetting a workpiece, liquid water is provided into the bowl, with the workpiece above the liquid water. Water vapor is created in the process chamber by applying vacuum to the process chamber. The vapor wets the workpiece. The workpiece is then further wetted by submerging the workpiece into the liquid water.

    摘要: Systems and methods for improving surface reflectance of silicon wafers are disclosed. The systems and methods improve surface reflectance by forming a textured surface on the silicon wafer by performing surface oxidation and dry etching processes. The surface oxidation maybe performed using a dry oxygen plasma process. A dry etch process is performed to remove the oxide layer formed by the surface oxidation step and etch the Silicon layer with oxide masking. Dry etching enables black silicon formation, which minimizes or eliminates light reflection or scattering, eventually leading to higher energy conversion efficiency.

    摘要: A method for forming a fine pattern on a substrate includes providing a substrate including a material with an initial pattern formed thereon and having a first line width, performing a self-limiting oxidation and/or nitridation process on a surface of the material and thereby forming an oxide, a nitride, or an oxynitride film on a surface of the initial pattern, and removing the oxide, nitride, or oxynitride film. The method further includes repeating the formation and removal of the oxide, nitride, or oxynitride film to form a second pattern having a second line width that is smaller than the first line width of the initial pattern. The patterned material can contain silicon, a silicon-containing material, a metal, or a metal-nitride, and the self-limiting oxidation process can include exposure to vapor phase ozone, atomic oxygen generated by non-ionizing electromagnetic (EM) radiation, atomic nitrogen generated by ionizing or non-ionizing EM radiation, or a combination thereof.
