Abstract High-frequency ultrasonic cleaning is widely used in the semiconductor and other industries affected by contamination for the removal of particulate contamination. High frequency (near 1 MHz) ultrasonic cleaning (known as megasonic cleaning) is specially used in semiconductor manufacturing [1]. Many studies concerning submicron particle removal using megasonic and ultrasonic cleaning has been conducted recently [2–7]. The megsonic cleaning process proved to be the essential processes in cleaning silicon wafers after processes such as CMP, RIE, CVD, Sputter, etc. This paper introduces recent results that involve new techniques for introducing the ultrasonic energy in the cleaning bath.

Brush cleaning can trigger both mechanical and chemical reaction to efficiently remove the adsorbed particles on the wafer. However, the removal mechanism of nanosized particles by brush cleaning is far from clear because no direct experimental data, such as the friction and contact force of the interface between brush and wafer surface, are available to back up the theoretical models in the literature. In this paper, we set up a monitoring system to measure the friction force of the interface between brush and wafer surface during brush cleaning to investigate the effect of the brush nodule structure having different nodule heights and nodule gaps on particle removal efficiency. To confirm the mechanical effect of the brush nodule structure, an oxide wafer contaminated with Polystyrene latex (PSL) particles (mean diameter: 300 nm) was cleaned with each PVA brush having different brush nodule structures using de-ionized water (DIW). The silica particle (mean diameter: 22 nm) and chemical solution (NH4OH, 0.1 wt%) were also used to investigate the chemical-aided particle removal. The remaining particles were measured with a Surfscan 6420 (KLA Tencor) and the friction force monitoring was conducted by using a Cleaner812-L (G&P Technology). The results indicated that a higher brush nodule height produced lower friction force, resulting in lower particle removal efficiency. When the nodule gap became smaller, the contact area between brush nodule and wafer surface became larger, resulting in higher particle removal efficiency. However, the experimental results using silica particles and 0.1 wt% of NH4OH showed different trends under each condition. The particle removal mechanism with silica particle and NH4OH was also verified by measuring the zeta potential between the particle and wafer.

High volume fraction SiCp/Al is a new kind of composite materials, with broad application prospect in the aerospace, automobile manufacturing and other fields, and gradually become the key materials in the field of high technology. But with its internal high hardness material (SiC) content increases and the material removal mechanism is not very clear, general machining is more difficult and seriously hinders the development of the material. With the advantages of high material removal rate, effectively processing all kinds of complicated curved surface, especially, in the thin-walled parts processing, milling occupies an absolute advantage. In order to solve the processing problems of high volume fraction SiCp/Al composites, basing on the theory of ultrasonic and brittle material removal. PCD milling experiment of SiCp/Al was carried out with homemade ultrasonic milling system under the condition of ultrasonic vertical vibration, the material removal mechanism was studied, the 2d and 3d model of surface formation was established, finally, microscopic structure on the surface of the workpiece was analyzed by metallographic microscope and electron microscope. Research results show that: SiC particle removal form can be divided into type of cut, pulled, pressed and crack penetration; under the condition of ultrasonic, probability of SiC particles cut type increased, this forms better surface smoothness; due to tool and chip separation characteristics and the ultrasonic impact effect on material, the removal mechanism of SiCp/Al is close to the plastic material, forming better surface quality under condition of ultrasonic. This paper verifies that the ultrasonic vertical vibration cutting is an effective machining method for high volume fraction SiCp/Al.
