Abstract

Si (100) with atomic order flat surface realized by 1200°C annealing in argon ambient is used for the experiment. During wet cleaning process, wet chemical cleaning solution, process time and temperature essentially affect the roughness of silicon surface. Then, the affection of every step of the traditional cleaning (RCA) and the new cleaning technology - 5-step room temperature cleaning to the roughness of Si (100) wafer is evaluated. As a result, 5-step room temperature cleaning which does not employ alkali solution can keep the atomic order flat surface on Si (100).
