- Abstract
Large amounts of organic solvents and pure water have been consumed in conventional semiconductor cleaning technology. And low dielectric constant (Low-K) material may be destroyed easily during the cleaning process, which will also cause structural collapse of the material. All these shortcomings can be rid by cleaning technique using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) as a medium. As an environmental friendly solvent, SC-CO2 has been applied in wafer cleaning field for some unique advantages such as high solvency, high diffusivity, low viscosity, low surface tension and other characteristics. In this study, a new cleaning chamber using SC-CO2 is designed and a simplified model is established by CFD software. On this basis, the flow field characteristics of SC-CO2 in the chamber are simulated, and the corresponding wall shear stress distribution is obtained by altering the rotation speed of the inner cylinder and the outlet pressure of multi-directional nozzles. The simulation results aim to offer ideas for expanding applications of SC-CO2 as a green solvent.
