Removal of particles from substrate wafers is one of the challenges in semiconductor industry. For this end, processes and equipment are developed using particle contaminated wafers. Preparation of these wafers differs from institute to institute, which makes it difficult to compare their cleaning performance results. The difference in behavior of differently prepared particle contaminated wafers is caused by the application method it self and the subsequent storage of these wafers after the particle application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
