Cleaning Semiconductor Equipment

Q. We’re getting some residue from foaming of detergent on our semiconductor handling equipment.

A. To clean semiconductor handling equipment in electronics, use a warm 3% Detergent 8 (30 mL/L) solution followed by a deionized water rinse to clean the equipment. Detergent 8 is free of any metal ion ingredients such as sodium that can dope a semiconductor.

For more information please see the Detergent 8 Technical Bulletin. To test an Alconox, Inc. detergent for free, please complete the questionnaire at Get Sample.  For more on cleaning electronics, please visit Alconox website.
