ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for cleaning semiconductor surfaces to achieve to removal of all kinds of contamination (particulate, metallic and organic) in one cleaning step. The method employs a cleaning solution for treating semiconductor surfaces which is stable and provokes less or no metal precipitation on the semiconductor surface.
