Abstract
A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the step of conducting a cleaning process for a wafer formed with copper wiring lines to remove contaminations produced on a back surface of the wafer. The cleaning process is conducted by injecting onto the back surface of the wafer an etchant for removing contaminations and simultaneously injecting onto a front surface of the wafer a reductant containing hydrogen.
Claims3
A method for cleaning a wafer,
- consisting the step of conducting a cleaning process for a wafer having copper wiring lines on a front surface of the wafer, said cleaning process removing contaminations produced on a back surface of the wafer, wherein the cleaning process is conducted by injecting onto the back surface of the wafer an etchant for removing contaminations and simultaneously injecting onto the front surface of the wafer a reductant, wherein the etchant for removing contaminations consists of a mixed solution of HF and H202 and the reductant consists of NH2OH;
- and
- optionally rinsing the wafer.
