    摘要: An industrial cleaning system 10 that produces and distributes an aqueous ozone solution is described. The system 10 includes an ozone generator 240 for generating ozone gas, which is injected by an injector 310 into a supply of water to form the aqueous ozone solution. A reaction vessel 350 receives the aqueous ozone solution from the injector 310 as the reaction vessel 350 reduces the bubbles of ozone gas in the aqueous ozone solution to increase the oxidation reduction potential of the aqueous ozone solution. The reaction vessel 350 includes a conical-shaped surface 385 having two or more edges 380 or ridges 382. The conical-shaped surface 385 defines a generally hollow interior 388. An inlet port 355 is in fluidic communication with a supply of an aqueous ozone solution to supply the aqueous ozone solution to the conical-shaped surface 380. Nozzles 360 direct water under pressure at the conical-shaped surface 380, and the water mixes with the aqueous ozone solution from the inlet port 355. An outlet 390 is in fluidic communication with the industrial cleaning system 10. A method of making an aqueous ozone solution is described. The reaction vessel 350 is in fluidic communication with a supply of a first aqueous ozone solution. The first aqueous ozone solution is directed to the reaction vessel 350. Water is directed to the reaction vessel 350, and the water and the first aqueous ozone solution are mixed to form a second aqueous ozone solution. Compositions for aqueous ozone solutions are also described. The aqueous ozone solution contains approximately 1 part by volume water mixed with approximately 4 parts by volume to approximately 9 parts by volume of the first aqueous ozone solution to form the second aqueous ozone solution that has an oxidation reaction potential of up to approximately 2.6 and having an ozone concentration of up to approximately 20 ppm.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and system for cleaning semiconductor elements accommodated in a tank which uses ozonized, deionized (DI) ultrapure water. According to the invention, ozone is generated in an ozone generator (3) according to the principal of silent electric discharge while admitting highly pure oxygen. Said ozone is fed to a contactor (7) through which DI water flows. The ozone is then dissolved in the DI water. While optionally admitting additional chemicals, the ozonized DI water is conducted through the tank (12) holding the semiconductor elements in order to clean the same, and the used DI water is carried away (15). In order to stabilize the ozone concentration, CO2 is added to the ozone/oxygen mixture generated by the ozone generator (7).

    摘要: A novel chemistry and application technique used in a chemical process sequence to address the contamination concerns of the microelectronic fabrication industry is set forth. These concerns are namely: minimizing contamination for organics, particles, metal/ions, and silicon dioxide. Generally stated, cleaning of workpieces (20), such as semiconductor wafers, is accomplished by delivery of a chemical stream to the workpiece surface (20). Ozone is delivered either into the liquid process stream (70) or into the process environment (15). The chemical stream, which may be in the form of a liquid or vapor, is applied to the wafer in a system which enables control of the boundary layer which forms on the workpiece surface (20). The chemical stream may include components such as ammonium hydroxide for simultaneous particle and organic removal, another chemical to raise the pH of the solution, or other chemical additives designed to accomplish one or more specific cleaning tasks.

    摘要: The invention encompasses methods for cleaning surfaces of wafers or other semiconductor articles. Oxidizing is performed using an oxidation solution which is wetted onto the surface. The oxidation solution can include one or more of: water, ozone, hydrogen chloride, sulfuric acid, or hydrogen peroxide. A rinsing step removes the oxidation solution and inhibits further activity. The rinsed surface is thereafter preferably subjected to a drying step. The surface is exposed to an oxide removal vapor to remove semiconductor oxide therefrom. The oxide removal vapor can include one or more of: acids, such as a hydrogen halide, for example hydrogen fluoride or hydrogen chloride; water, isopropyl alcohol; or ozone. The processes can use centrifugal processing and spraying actions.

    摘要: In the cleaning process the objects are first taken into a cleaning bath subjected to ultra-sound containing a biologically degradable cleaning agent and then into a rinsing bath in which they are ultrasonically sterilised. An indicator is added to the rinsing bath in order to indicate a change in the redox potential and thus helps to detect impurities in the rinsing bath and log them using a recorder. The process is particularly suitable for cleaning and removing germs from plastic bottles.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for sampling and determining the presence of certain substances, such as residues of contaminants in containers. The method includes steps of: injecting compressed air into said containers in order to displace at least a portion of the contents thereof; evacuating a sample of the container contents so displaced by applying suction thereto; and analyzing the sample evacuated to determine the presence or absence of the certain residues therein. The compressed air is injected through a nozzle into an opening in the containers to displace a portion of the container contents and form a sample cloud outside of the container. The sample cloud is then at least partially evacuated by suction and the sample is analyzed for the presence of contaminants such as nitrogen containing compounds or hydrocarbons. In one embodiment about 90 % of the sample evacuated is diverted from the analyzer and recirculated into the air injector. In another embodiment a fan is provided to blow remnants of the sample cloud downstream of the test station. A hood may be provided in a shroud assembly at the test station to provide proper aerodynamics for the region for removal of those remnants.
