The semiconductor industry stands apart from everyone else in the need for high-performance cleaning. During the semiconductor manufacturing process, layers of silicone conductors and insulators are deposited upon a wafer substrate. Each layer may be just a few molecules thick. Any contamination on any layer destabilizes the semiconducting "tunneling" phonomenon, requiring the wafer to be scrapped.

Similar problems are found during the manufacture of today's high-performance disk drives. First, the platters and heads must be brilliantly clean, down to the sub-micron level. Secondly, they require very specialized lubricants to be applied evenly across the surface of the platter. In this microscopic world, this is the ultimate in process control. When engineers need real precision, they turn to the MicroCare cleaners to get it done.

Powerful, fast-drying, residue free MicroCare cleaners addresses all of these issues. Cleaning with MicroCare cleaners is simple, fast and very cost-effective. When quality counts, semiconductor makers and disk drive makers select the MicroCare.

The best cleaners for semiconductors usually are:

MicroCare® CCA General Purpose Degreaser
   
MicroCare® CFIPA Particle Rinse

DuPont™ Vertrel® XP Particulate Rinse
