摘要 |
The invention concerns a method of treating wafers comprising at least one surface layer of silicon-germanium (SiGe) and a layer of strained silicon beneath the SiGe layer. The strained silicon layer is denuded by a step of selective etching of the SiGe layer by dispensing an etching solution onto the rotating wafer. Selective etching is then followed by a step of cleaning the surface of the strained silicon layer with an aqueous ozone solution dispensed onto the rotating wafer.
