SS 3000 AR
What it is
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWet scrubbers are a class of semiconductor cleaning equipment used to remove particles, residues, and contaminants from wafer surfaces through a combination of chemical sprays, brush scrubbing, and rinse steps.
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWet scrubbers function by applying a cleaning solution to the wafer surface while a rotating brush or megasonic transducer provides mechanical agitation.
The process typically includes a chemical etch or cleaning step, followed by a deionized water rinse and spin-drying to leave a clean, dry surface.
Where it fits in the process flow
General reference — not yet source-verifiedWet scrubbers are used in semiconductor fabrication to clean wafers after chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP), after etching steps, or before critical deposition processes.
The scrubber follows the CMP tool and precedes inspection or film deposition in the process flow.
Applications
General reference — not yet source-verifiedThe SS 3000 AR is used for post-CMP cleaning to remove slurry particles and polishing residues.
