Abstract:
A GaAs substrate cleaning method by which less number of foreign materials are deposited after cleaning. The cleaning method is composed of an acid cleaning process (S11), a pure water rinsing process (S12) and a spin-dry process (S13). First, the acid cleaning process (S11) is performed by impregnating a GaAs substrate having a mirror-polished surface in an acid cleaning solution. In the acid cleaning process, a cleaning time is less than 30 seconds. Then, the pure water rinsing process (S12) is performed by washing away the cleaning solution on the cleaned GaAs substrate with pure water. Then, the spin dry process (S13) is performed to dry the GaAs substrate having the pure water thereon. Thus, the GaAs substrate whereupon less number of foreign materials are deposited after cleaning is provided. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
