摘要 |
The present invention is directed to wet processing methods for the manufacture of electronic component precursors, such as semiconductor wafers used in integrated circuits. The electronic component precursors are placed in a reaction chamber and contacted with at least one reactive chemical process fluid for a selected period of time. The reactive process fluid can be, for example, hydrofluoric acid. The electronic component precursors are then exposed directly to a drying fluid, with no intervening rinsing fluid, for a selected period of time. The drying fluid can be a vapor. |
