Abstract:Dust particles are considered as an important source of device contamination in the semiconductor industry. Deposition process is followed by cleaning process, when dust particles are changed into volatile gaseous species that are exhausted from a processing chamber. Cleaning process, however, can't completely remove dust particles so that large amounts of residual particles still head downstream of the processing chamber. These byproduct particles are accumulated on internal components of a vacuum pump, which… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
