Abstract
The authors describe a new cleaning technique developed which uses ozonated water as one of the cleaning chemicals. The cleaning sequence includes three steps: Sulfuric Acid Ozonated water Mix (SOM)/Diluted Hydrofluoric Acid (DHF)/ozonated water. Cleaning performane is described in terms of residual metals and particles on wafer surfaces. Performance was found to be equal to or better than a popular modified RCA clean consisting of a Sulfuric Acid Hydrogen Peroxide Mix (SPM)/Diluted Hydrofluoric Acid (DHF)/Ammonium Hydroxide Hydrogen Peroxide Mix (APM)/Hydrochloric Acid Hydrogen Peroxide Mix (HPM) chemical dispense sequence.
