Title:
PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR CLEANING SURFACES OF SEMICONDUCTOR WAFERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005019490
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A process for cleaning the surface of a semiconductor wafer. The process has the following steps: a) conveying a component selected from the group consisting of a dense gas component, a liquid component and a mixture thereof to a bellows accumulator (74) having a bellows (76) therein; b) applying an elevated pressure to said bellows (76) sufficient to discharge the component from the bellows onto said surface of the wafer; and c) contacting the component with the surface of the wafer. There is also a system for cleaning the surface of a semiconductor wafer and for mixing a dense gas component and a liquid component.
