Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides treatment strategies that reduce contamination on wafer surfaces that are treated with acid chemistries. The strategies are suitable for use with a wide variety of wafers, including those including sensitive microelectronic features or precursors thereof. These strategies involve a combination of neutralizing and rinsing strategies that quickly and effectively remove residual acid and acid by- products from both the front side of workpicce(s) as well as from other processing chamber surfaces that can be causes of contamination.
