Abstract
An improved process for manufacturing semiconductor devices (10). The device, which could be a semiconductor wafer, an individual chip, or a device that has integrated within it semiconductor devices, such as a compact disk drive, is placed or held upside down with its working surface (12) open. The device (10) is struck, causing particulates (18) attached to the working surface (12) to fall free of the device. Alternately, the device could be sharply decelerated to apply the shock. Additionally, the device could be held substantially vertical and rotated to use centrifugal force to separate the particulates away from the device.
