Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) RCA cleaning method proposed by W.kern et al. has been used empirically for wafer surface cleaning since 1970. However, there has been many uncertain problems in this cleaning method. In this study, the generated active chemical species in RCA cleaning solutions were measured and evaluated to develop the new cleaning technology. As a result, the formation of high reactive OH radical was found to be caused by Fenton reaction in RCA cleaning solutions. It is also revealed that the ratio of hydrogenperoxide to strong acid such as HF, H_2SO_4 and HCl in RCA cleaning solution does not affect on the formation of OH radical. Moreover, it is suggested that anode water of which pH value is controlled can be utilized in RCA cleaning solution instead of strong acid such as HF, H_2SO_4 and HCl.
