35.1

 

CMOS wafers only.

 

1. Sink 8, fresh 5/1 BHF

 

Etch rate for BSG:

~ 2700A/min for un-annealed

~ 1500A/min for annealed

 

-          implanted S/D wafers: 30 sec etch time

 

2. Sink 9, fresh 10/1 BHF*

 

Etch rate for BSG:

~1400A/min for un-annealed

 

-          silicided S/D wafers: 30 sec etch time

 

 

*: 10/1 BHF was used to remove BSG from the silicided wafers to decrease PQECR nitride damage
