Here we explain how Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring, QCM-D, works.
A wetting agent is a surface-active molecule used to reduce the surface tension of water.
QSense stainless steel-coated QCM-D sensors are designed to support surface interaction analysis in various applications
This blog post discusses the importance of adhesion in the lithography process and how to predict adhesion with contact angle measurements.
HMDS is used to render the surface of silicon more hydrophobic and thus to match better with the chemistry of the photoresist.
QSense QCM-D technology enables analysis of cleaning process dynamics, surface etching, and surface residual
This blog post explains the concept of RCA cleaning and it's relation to contact angle.
Read about how and the QCM fundamental frequency matters in measurements
Contact angle measurements can be used to evaluate the cleanliness of silicon wafers.
