Abstract

This work is an effort to determine if we can use less water effectively in rinse processes. We have run experiments to examine our current usage and to determine if we can use water more effectively.

This work will describe the experiments which have been done relating the amount of chemical remaining on the wafers to variables of the: rinse such as flow rate, wafer spacing and the cycling of the rinse valves. We will discuss the conclusions we have reached based on those experiments and the directions we will be taking to improve rinsing efficiency.
