  • Abstract
    In order to produce reliable high yield integrated circuits, it is imperative that the device be "clean" or free of contaminants. The effect on device stability of the cleaning solvents, deionized water, trichloroethylene (TCE) and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) has been investigated. An "industry standard" solvent, trichloroethylene, can have deleterious effects on device stability if used improperly. The effective Conductivity Decay Trace tool is described.
