28 Physical Cleaning Of Submicron Trenches Mixing and Cleaning in Steady and Pulsating Flow Steady flow induces a vortex inside the cavity. There is no convection between the vortex and the main flow. The transport of contaminant happens by diffusion only, which may take a long time depending on the trench size.

69 Conclusions The removal of nanoscale particles (63 nm) using megasonic and laser shock cleaning is investigated experimentally in this study. The laser cleaning results for the EUV 11 nm and 4 nm Si_cap ML wafers show that the measured removal efficiency obtained for both substrates were in the high nineties. Heating due to LSC seems to have minimal effect on possible substrate damage. Damage will only occur when the plasma is very close the surface. The moment ratio model is consistent with the experimental results for nano-scale particles The simulation shows that 63nm particle are detached and redeposited many times before final removal. Complete removal of 63nm particles was achieved using 76 KHz and higher frequencies, but 1.2MHz showed 4 times faster removal compared to 76K. Complete removal of PSL particles from 5 micron deep trenches was achieved.
