Zusammenfassung:Methods for removing a silicon-oxy-nitride layer and wafer surface cleaning are disclosed. The method for removing a silicon-oxy-nitride layer utilizes a solution of ethylene glycol and hydrogen fluoride to completely remove the silicon-oxy-nitride layer from a substrate. Moreover, the method for wafer surface cleaning also uses a solution of ethylene glycol and hydrogen fluoride to remove chemical oxide or native oxide from wafer surfaces and an ethylene glycol solvent to rinse the wafer surfaces.
