SS 80 BW Wafer

The SCREEN SS 80 BW Wafer is a wafer scrubber. The SS 80 BW Wafer is categorized under wet processing and clean equipment. The SS 80 BW Wafer is part of the SCREEN SS 80 family.^[2]

Wafer scrubbers generally clean wafer surfaces by combining wet chemistry with mechanical or fluid-assisted surface action. Wafer scrubbers are used to dislodge particles and remove residual contamination while limiting damage to patterned or unpatterned wafer surfaces. Wafer scrubbers are typically integrated with rinse and dry functions or are paired with adjacent cleaning and drying modules within a wet bench or standalone cleaning flow.

Wet cleaning and scrubbing tools are placed at contamination-control points throughout semiconductor process flow. Wafer scrubbers are commonly used after steps that can leave particles, films, or handling residue on the wafer surface and before steps that demand a cleaner surface condition. Wafer scrubbers support yield by reducing transferred contamination ahead of deposition, lithography, etch, inspection, or measurement operations.

Wafer scrubbers are used for surface cleaning in semiconductor manufacturing. Wafer scrubbers are applied where wafers need particle removal, residue reduction, or post-process surface preparation. Wafer scrubbers can be used on product wafers, monitor wafers, or test wafers as part of routine contamination control.
