What it is

General reference — not yet source-verified

Batch wet processing tools clean multiple wafers simultaneously by immersing them in chemical solutions to remove particles, residues, and native oxides.

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Batch wet cleaning systems immerse cassettes of wafers in a sequence of chemical baths designed to remove particulate contamination, metallic impurities, and native oxides. Typical chemistries include alkaline peroxide mixtures (such as standard clean one) and acid peroxide mixtures (such as standard clean two), followed by dilute hydrofluoric acid baths. After the wet chemical steps, the wafers are rinsed with deionized water and dried, often using isopropyl alcohol vapor or spin drying.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Typical applications include pre-gate oxidation cleaning, post-etch residue removal, pre-metal deposition cleaning, and surface conditioning for epitaxial growth. The batch configuration is well suited for high-volume manufacturing where throughput benefits from processing multiple wafers simultaneously.
