Cleaning of wafers or masks
Cleaning of wafers or masks with sulphuric acid can be done either in a dedicated tank "7-up" or in the fumehood in a beaker "Piranha" Both 7-up and Piranha removes heavy organics. Always use one of these after KOH to remove alkali ions before further processing. 7-up and Piranha are also used as cleaning solutions after stripping resist.

General description |
Cleaning of wafers or masks using the dedicated tanks. There are one tank for masks and glasswafers and one for 4-6" Si wafers in cleanroom 4 and one tank in cleanroom 3 for 4" Si wafers only. |
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. |
