Patent number: 6896927Abstract: An electronic device substrate, such as a semiconductor silicon wafer or a liquid crystal glass substrate, with a surface which has just undergone cleaning treatment and which is covered with a clean oxide or nitride film which will readily adsorb organic contaminants is treated with an aqueous solution containing choline, or alternatively a similar substrate which has not been cleaned is treated with a treatment solution comprising a SC-1 solution to which choline has been added. Following drying, a surface concentration of choline of between 5×1010 molecules˜7×1012 molecules/cm2 is adsorbed onto the substrate surface. This treatment suppresses organic contamination of the substrate from the atmosphere. As a result, the surface carbon concentration of an electronic device substrate can be suppressed to a value of no more than approximately 3×1013 atoms/cm2, even for manufacturing processes carried out in typical clean rooms with no chemical filters installed.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2002Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Assignees: Nomura Micro Science Co., LTD, Tama Chemicals Co., LTDInventor: Hisashi Muraoka
