Popis: This paper presents surface photovoltage (SPV) applications for the monitoring of chemical cleaning and purity of chemicals through mapping of minority carrier diffusion length, Fe concentration in the bulk, and surface contamination (surface charge and surface recombination). The noncontact, wafer-scale character of the new SPV approach and refined apparatus make this technique uniquely suited for heavy metal monitoring. This method was used to monitor Cu contamination in BHF by measurement of its effect on surface recombination and Fe contamination through it effect on bulk recombination after the rapid thermal annealing step used to drive Fe deposited at the surface during cleaning into the bulk
