ABSTRACT:
A method for the wet treatment of a semiconductor wafer comprised of subjecting a semiconductor wafer to chemicals treatment, rinsing with pure water and drying by direct transfer of the wafer to an atmosphere of a vapor containing an alcohol, wherein the semiconductor wafer is treated with a solution containing a semiconductive particle-removing agent during the interval between the steps of the chemicals treatment and the drying. The semiconductive particle-removing agent is one which is able to control the zeta potential of the particles to prevent the deposition of the particles. Alternatively, semiconductive colloid coagulants may be used which inhibit the formation of the particles by coagulation of semiconductive colloids. Thus, deposition of particles on a wet-treated semiconductor wafer is prevented.
