Abstract

The mechanism of haze reduction during silicon polishing using a new generation of additives has been explored. These additives are thought to decrease haze by adsorbing to the wafer surface and increasing the activation energy of the reaction between the silanolates on the silica particle surface with the surface silicon. This leads to greater selectivity between the peaks and valleys resulting in a net decrease in surface roughness.
