    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for removing particles equal to or less than 100 nm in size from the surface including a silicon wafer, a photomask substrate, photomask blanks, etc.
    SOLUTION: The ultraviolet cleaning tool has an ultraviolet source arranged in a processing chamber, which can be located above a surface 104 and used during various processing in the processing chamber. The distance between the surface 104 of a glass substrate, a glass surface, a silicon substrate, a plate, a photomask substrate, etc., and the ultraviolet source 102 can be adjusted by moving a rotary chuck 106 using a motor 110. Alternatively, the distance can also be adjusted by moving the ultraviolet source 102 vertically. The ultraviolet source 102 has a wavelength of about 140 to 400 nm and its intensity is equal to or greater than 1 mV/cm
    2 , and a high or a low pressure mercury lamp, etc., is used. The ultraviolet source 102 causes ozone that breaks the chemical bond between the particles and the surface 104 to occur, improving the cleaning performance.

    Abstract: A building houses a semiconductor manufacturing facility, which is circular in shape and is of a multi-story structure. A silo is located at the center for use in storing and transferring wafers to clean rooms disposed radially around the silo at each floor. Human access is not permitted in the silo and in the clean rooms in order to prevent contamination of the wafers. Due to the modularity of the clean room structures, clean rooms can be reconfigured easily without significant impact on the on-going manufacturing operation. The modularity also permits portions of the facility to be deactivated when not needed.

    Abstract: A melt container (12), pref. made of quartz and formed in a U-shape, filled with molten Si (17) above which a container (11) for granular polycrystallne Si (14) is placed to replenish the melt. The melt container is heated (13) to form the melt (17) and maintain its temp. (19) near the opening (25), from which it is poured to form Si wafers. The exit opening (25) is pref at the opposite end of the container from the filler opening (11). The granules container (11) is pref. a drum, pref. made of quartz, which can be rotated and contains a slit opening (15) through which it can be filled and emptied when the drum is in an appropriate position. A friction-less coating is used between the drum and the filler-opening of the melt container to provide a hermetic seal and allow easy rotation of the drum. A gas-inlet opening (24) allows an inert gas ambient to be used to force the melt out of the opening (25) to pour the wafers. The process consists of forming a melt, which is held inside the container by the pressure of the ambient gas, and pouring it onto a spinning plate (30). A method for recrystallisation is also claimed. USE/ADVANTAGE - Faster formation of single crystalline Si wafers compared with the conventional Czochralski crystal bar pulling. Avoids lengthy wafer-cutting process currently used. The method allows very much purer polycrystalline Si to be used and causes much less contamination since it is used quickly as it is poured into the melt container. The recrsytallistion has been modified to minimise contamination of the wafers. Avoidance of wafer sawing also reduces Si waste.

    Abstract: An isolator is disposed between a plasma reactor and its electrical energy source in order to isolate the reactor from the electrical energy source. The isolator operates as a filter to attenuate the transmission of harmonics of a fundamental frequency of the electrical energy source generated by the reactor from interacting with the energy source. By preventing harmonic and subharmonic interaction with the energy source, plasma conditions can be readily reproduced independent of the electrical characteristics of the electrical energy source and/or its associated coupling network.

    Abstract: Methods for characterizing a semiconductor material using optical metrology are disclosed. In one respect, a electromagnetic radiation source may be directed in a direction substantially parallel to patterns on a semiconductor material. A polarized spectroscopic reflectivity may be obtained, and a critical point data may be determined. Using the critical point data, physical dimensions of the patterns may be determined. In other respects, using optical metrology techniques, a critical point data relating to electron mobility may be determined.
