Advantages of HF-Last Etching and IPA Drying in One Chamber
In the final stage of silicon wafer cleaning the silicon oxide layer has to be removed and the clean wafer dried without contamination. When wafers are removed from the HF etching process and transferred to a drying chamber, the extra handling increases the chances for wafers to pick up contaminating particles. Such particles cause errors […]

How Marangoni Drying Produces Superior Surface Conditioning for Wafer Processing
At the end of a particular step in silicon wafer processing, wafers often have to be cleaned, rinsed and dried. The resulting wafer surfaces must be free of water, watermarks, particles and organic residues. Older technologies such as spinning the wafers rapidly or heat drying can no longer fulfill the requirements of high density electronic […]
