Cleaning of wafers or masks using the dedicated tanks. There are one tank for masks and glass wafers and one for 4-6" Si wafers in cleanroom 4 and one tank in cleanroom 3 for 4" Si wafers only.
It is used for removal of light organics, particles and metal.

|
Cleaning of wafers using a beaker in the fumehood in cleanroom 2. Used for glass wafers or wafers with metal or other materials that you are not allowed to put in the 7-up for wafers.
It is used for removal of light organics, particles and metal.
