Abstract

See full text

A method and system are provided for cleaning a surface of a semiconductor wafer following a fabrication operation. The system includes a brush box, which has a fluid manifold and at least one nozzle. The nozzle is connected to the fluid manifold by a flexible conduit. The nozzle is configured to spray a liquid onto the surface of the wafer at an application angle and at a fan angle. The application angle is defined between a plane of the surface of the wafer and a spraying plane of the liquid. The fan angle and the application angle are configured such that the spraying liquid covers the surface of the wafer in a quiescent manner.
