Abstract
The present invention provides a wafer cleaning method and a method for manufacturing semiconductor device. The wafer cleaning method includes: protonating a cleaning solution with a protonator; cleaning a wafer surface with the protonated cleaning solution so that the cleaned wafer surface carries an amount of negative charge smaller than an amount of negative charge present on a wafer surface that has been cleaned with a non-protonated cleaning solution and is covered with a liquid film of the cleaning solution; and purging the wafer surface with a drying gas to remove the liquid film from a center of the wafer surface towards its periphery. The technique proposed in the present invention is able to desirably suppress static electricity on a wafer surface and effectively reduce device failure that may be caused by static electricity, thereby increasing overall yield of integrated circuit manufacture.
