Always use one of these cleaning procedures after KOH etch or hot phosphoric acid etch (Nitride etch) to remove alkali ions before further processing. 7-up and Piranha are always used as cleaning solutions '''after''' stripping resist if you have resist on your samples. Cleaning samples with resist coatings or significant amounts of other organic substances can be very dangerous, because 7-Up and Piranha are so aggressive. '''These solutions are intended for removing TRACES of organic matter. Adding large amounts of organics can lead to explosive reactions!'''
