What it is

The SCREEN / DNS SS W 80 A AR is a wafer scrubber. The tool is built for 8-inch wafers. SCREEN / DNS is the manufacturer of this model.[4][5][6]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer scrubbers of this kind clean wafers by combining a mechanical brush contact with liquid cleaning agents. The wafer is held on a rotating chuck while a brush or roller contacts the surface. Cleaning liquid is applied to the wafer during the scrub. The mechanical action lifts particles from the surface into the liquid. A rinse step then removes the liquid and particles before the wafer is dried.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer scrubbers are used in cleaning steps around many front-end manufacturing operations. A scrub step can follow planarization, etch, or other processes that leave residues on the wafer surface. The tool can also precede oxidation, deposition, or lithography, where surface cleanliness is critical. The scrubber prepares wafer surfaces for the next operation without modifying the patterned films.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

Wafer scrubbers are applied to bare silicon wafers and to patterned device wafers. The process is suited to removing particulate contamination after planarization and other mechanical steps. Scrub cleaning is also used on compound-semiconductor and specialty substrates.
