Popis: Chemicals from various suppliers were tested for the metal contamination levels left on silicon wafers after cleaning. During the investigations, hydrochloric acids and ammonium hydroxides from three vendors and hydrogen peroxides from four vendors, were evaluated. The wafers were cleaned in RCA standard solutions, after which particle counts and metal contamination were measured. Total reflection x-ray fluorescence analysis was used for metal contamination measurements. Hot ammonium hydroxide-hydrogen peroxide mixture (APM), an efficient particle remover, results in iron deposition on silicon
