Salsa clean process

A wet spray cleaning process for removing thick organic layers including hardened photoresist from the surface of silicon wafers yields low residual particle counts for photoresist thicknesses up to 3 microns, and maintains low residual particle density for oxide-covered wafer regions. The cleaning...

Zusammenfassung:A wet spray cleaning process for removing thick organic layers including hardened photoresist from the surface of silicon wafers yields low residual particle counts for photoresist thicknesses up to 3 microns, and maintains low residual particle density for oxide-covered wafer regions. The cleaning process uses multiple cycles of SPM/DI/APM/DI, without an intervening drying step therebetween.
