Inhalable particles suspended in air were an important pollution of atmospheric Environment. Because of very small in size, they were different to be captured by conventional filter. Chemical active agent, surfactant and flocculate, were introduced into chamber and encouraged the agglomeration of inhalable particles. Nonionic surfactant could reduce more than 30% of particles, while ionic surfactant could lead to the decrement of 23-26%. The particle removal efficiencies were only 15-18% in the presence of polymer flocculate and slightly above that of water. The larger droplet of spray favored the agglomeration of inhalable particles. Increasing the surfactant concentration resulted in the higher removal of inhalable particle.

A bubble coalescence model for a solution with a nonionic surfactant and with a small bubble approach velocity was developed, in which the mechanism of how coalescence is hindered by Marangoni stress was quantitatively analyzed. The bubble coalescence time calculated for ethanol-water and MIBC-water systems were in good agreement with experimental data. At low surfactant concentrations, the Marangoni stress and bubble coalescence time increased with bulk concentration increase. Conversely, in the high concentration range, the Marangoni stress and coalescence time decreased with bulk concentration. Numerical results showed that the nonlinear relationship between coalescence time and surfactant concentration is determined by the mass transport flux between the film and its interface, which tends to diminish the spatial concentration variation of the interface, i.e., it acts as a “damper”. This damping effect increases with increased surfactant concentration, therefore decreasing the coalescence time at high concentrations.

One major concern in post-CMP cleaning is particles contamination on the substrate surface after the CMP process. These particles can be abrasive particles from the slurry, debris from pad material, and particles of film being polished. The cleaning method used in this study is direct contact of the substrate surface and brush sweeping. To enhance the cleaning process, an anionic surfactant is added in the cleaning solution. In order to understand effects of surfactant molecules on post-CMP cleaning, for the first time, we use a tribological approach over a range of surfactant concentration and temperature. In this regard, we observe how the surfactant behavior before and after it reaches the critical micelles concentration (cmc). Experimental results show that increase in surfactant concentration can promote bilayer interaction of micelles on the hydrophilic particles. Based on our study, we propose an interactive explanation of surface molecules with the wafer surface and nanoparticles through friction. This understanding will serve as a guide on how much surfactant should be added in order to achieve effective particle removal.

ABSTRACTNanoparticles are used in chemical mechanical planarization for semiconductor manufacturing as well as in other precision manufacturing operations. Particles used in processing need to be removed from surfaces in order to enhance yields. Nanoparticles are difficult to remove from surfaces during cleaning due to the high van der Waals attractive forces between particles and surfaces relative to the low fluid drag forces that are used for typical removal methods. Ionic surfactant molecules can adsorb on particles and surfaces to create an electrostatic repulsion between particles and surfaces as well as provide a steric barrier to mitigate adsorption and adhesion. The effectiveness of the surfactant in enhancing particle removal is related to surfactant properties, and it can be correlated with and modeled relative to the critical micelle concentration of the surfactant. The general approach for modeling will be discussed, and the model will be compared with particle removal data.

Optical reflectometry is applied as a tool for studying single and simultaneous adsorption of a carbohydrate, a nonionic surfactant, and a protein, For the nonionic surfactant poly(ethylene oxide) alkyl ether on a silica surface the adsorption process is fast and reversible, and the maximum adsorbed amount was 2.45 mg•m-2. Also, the effect of pH on the adsorption of chitosan on silica, and its interaction with C12EO5have been studied. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained for pH ≥6.8 (0.80 mg•m-2). Changes in surface functionality upon adsorbing C12EO5on a chitosan layer and the protein, bovine serum albumin, are reported. The results are discussed in terms of adsorption kinetics, adsorbed mass plateau values, and reversibility of layer formation.
