发明名称 Method and apparatus for using surfactants in supercritical fluid processing of wafers
摘要 A method of delivering a reagent to a wafer is provided. A solvent is provided. A set of conditions of temperature and pressure is provided to the solvent, which is sufficient to bring the solvent to supercritical conditions. A reagent is provided. A surfactant is provided, where the surfactant has a first moiety with an affinity for the solvent and a second moiety with an affinity for the reagent, where the surfactant increases the concentration of the reagent that may be carried by the solvent. The solvent, surfactant, and reagent are combined to form a solution. The solution is delivered to a supercritical process chamber, wherein a wafer is exposed to the solution in the process chamber.
