Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a cleaning method for removing metal pollution or residues on SiC epitaxial wafers. Background technique: [0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) is an important wide-bandgap semiconductor material. SiC is a new generation (third-generation) wide-bandgap semiconductor material with excellent performance. It is a typical representative of the third-generation semiconductor material. It is one of the wide-bandgap semiconductor materials with the most mature technology and device manufacturing level and the most widely used. It is an ideal semiconductor material for high-temperature, high-frequency, radiation-resistant, and high-power applications. SiC semiconductor materials have outstanding advantages such as wide band gap, high saturation drift velocity, high thermal conductivity, and high critical breakdown electric field, and are especially suitable for making high-power, high-v...
