Abstract:The effects of SC1 concentration ratio and temperature on the surface particles and defects of silicon wafers were studied with optical surface analysis (OSA) technology. The results show that when the concentration of NH4OH decreases, the surface particles of the silicon wafer increase, while the defects decrease. When the temperature of SC1 decreases to 45℃, the increase of particles on the surface is only 60 per tablet(≥0.2μm) and no defects present.
