Abstract

See full text

A system and method for wet cleaning a semiconductor wafer utilizes a nozzle assembly to combine two or more input fluids to form a cleaning fluid at the point-of-use. The input fluids are received at the nozzle assembly and combined in a chamber of the nozzle assembly to form the cleaning fluid. The nozzle assembly may include an acoustic transducer to generate an acoustic energy, one or more valves, e.g., three-way valves, to control the receipt of input fluids and/or a flow control mechanism, e.g., a pressure spring valve, to control dispensing of the cleaning fluid onto a surface of the semiconductor wafer.
