Abstract

See full text

A method for removing residue from a workpiece includes preparing a liquid including de-ionized water, sulfuric acid, and optionally hydrofluoric acid. Carbon dioxide gas is provided into the liquid. The liquid is maintained at a desired temperature. The liquid is applied onto a workpiece in a process chamber. The liquid may be formed into a liquid layer on the workpiece having a controlled thickness. Ozone gas may be introduced into the chamber and chemically reacts with residue on the workpiece. In a second separate method the liquid includes de-ionized water, highly dilute hydrofluoric acid and carbon dioxide, with no need for ozone gas.
