Abstract
The rinse strategy has been conceived and tested in aqueous and gaseous environments. There are significant environmental benefits: water usage and waste stream reduction are optimized. Chemical volume is reduced. There are process uniformity and control improvements. The number of process steps is reduced, and there have been enhancements to the process rate. Yield is enhanced and costs are reduced. Smaller expenditures are required to achieve spectacular results. Current equipment can be retrofitted at a small cost. New equipment can be designed and built at a fraction of the cost of standard off-the-shelf equipment for any wet or dry process
