ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for photochemical polishing of a silicon wafer using electromagnetic waves within the spectrum of 150 to 2000 nanometers wavelength. A photochemical polishing apparatus is also disclosed in which the electromagnetic waves are provided by a waveguide in close proximity to the surface of a silicon wafer electrode.
