6 Introduction The removal of nanoparticles from patterned wafers is one of the main challenges in the semiconductor industry. Megasonics utilizes acoustic streaming to reduce the acoustic boundary layer and the generated pulsating flow to remove nanoscale particles from trenches and other structures on the wafer. In this paper, we investigate the removal of 100nm polystyrene latex (PSL) particles from silicon trenches. The trenches used are 800 nm and 2 microns wide with an aspect ratio of one.

10 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. External oscillating flow stimulates the vortex destruction and regeneration. Contaminants are removed from cavity by the expanded vortex. The vortex oscillating mechanism significantly enhances mixing.

17 Global Metrology of the Removal Efficiency of Submicron Particles from Structured Substrates There is a need for fast, quick metrology for evaluating cleaning process for many applications. There is a need for global (wafer-scale) metrology for measuring the removal efficiency of nanoparticles. Fluorometer offers a very fast and reliable evaluation of global removal efficiencies. The technique works for flat or structured substrates (trenches, etc.) NSF Center for Microcontamination Control

34 Conclusions The detection of fluorescence from dissolved PSL particles is demonstrated for obtaining global removal efficiency for particles. The obtained calibration curves enable the fluorometer user to get a very quick and reliable global removal efficiency. Particle removal efficiency increase in both 2µm and 800nm wide trenches as the input power is increased. Complete removal of 100 nm PSL particles is achieved from a 2µm wide trench using megasonics in DI water only after 4min. Cleaning of 200nm PSL particles requires less time than 100nm PSL particle in the same size trenches. It is more difficult to remove particles from trenches smaller that 2 microns using megasonics and DI water only. In order to effectively remove 100nm PSL particles from a 800nm trench, megasonic cleaning will need to be applied for more than 8 min. NSF Center for Micro and Nanoscale Contamination Control
