Abstract

Surface and colloidal chemicals aspects relevant to wet chemical cleaning and drying of semiconductor surfaces are reviewed. Specific areas discussed in this chapter include surface charging of metal oxide and nitride films, development of an electrical double layer, zeta potential of electrified interfaces and its effect on particulate contamination, adsorption of surfactants and metal ions on insulating surfaces, principles of surface tension gradient drying, and wetting and penetration of high aspect ratio features.
