Essential Process for Maintaining Semiconductor Quality

 Cleaning Process 

The cleaning process involves removing impurities from the wafer surface using chemical treatments and physical methods such as gas application. As a critical stage in semiconductor manufacturing, cleaning is one of the key processes that determine the final quality of the semiconductor. By effectively eliminating impurities on the wafer surface, it ensures the quality of subsequent processes and contributes to optimizing semiconductor performance. Repeated cleaning operations play a vital role in maintaining the quality and reliability of semiconductor processes.

Semiconductor processing equipment operation process

  1. Wafer manufacturing: Cut silicon ingots into round wafers.

  2. Oxidation: Forming a silicon oxide film on the wafer surface

  3. Photo: Engraving a semiconductor circuit on a wafer using light

  4. Etching: Removal of the remaining portion (oxide film) excluding the circuit pattern

  5. Deposition, ion implantation: .After making a thin film, ion implantation to have electrical properties

  6. Metal wiring: Connect the electric path (metal wire) according to the circuit pattern

  7. Test (EDS): Inspects each chip (die) on the wafer to eliminate defective products

  8. Packaging: Cut the chips on the wafer into individual pieces and apply a protective film to complete the semiconductor
