As the minimum feature size decrease, control of contamination by nanoparticles is getting more attention in semiconductor process. Cleaning technology which removes nanoparticles is essential to increase yield. A reference wafer on which particles with known size and number are deposited is needed to evaluate the cleaning process. We simulated particle trajectories in the chamber by using FLUENT. Charged monodisperse particles are generated using SMPS (Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer) and deposited on the wafer by electrostatic force. The Experimental results agreed with the simulation results well. We calculate the particles loss in pipe flow theoretically and compare with the experimental results.
