Hydrogen chloride, with the formula HCl, is a colorless, pungent gas composed of one chlorine atom and one hydrogen atom. Its aqueous solution is called hydrochloric acid, also known as hydrochloric acid. Hydrogen chloride is highly soluble in water, and at 0 ° C, 1 volume of water can dissolve about 500 volumes of hydrogen chloride. Have the following properties and characteristics:

1. High purity: The purity of electronic grade hydrogen chloride is very high, usually at the ppm or lower level, to ensure that no impurities are introduced in the semiconductor manufacturing process.

2. Inert: It is a chemically inert gas that does not react with many other substances, which is very important to prevent contamination of semiconductor materials and equipment.

3. High stability: Electronic grade hydrogen chloride usually has stable chemical properties to ensure reliable semiconductor processes.

In semiconductor processes, the main applications of electronic grade hydrogen chloride include:

1. Surface cleaning and preparation: As an efficient surface cleaner, electronic grade hydrogen chloride is used to remove oxides and impurities from the substrate surface, ensuring the quality and purity of the epitaxial layer or film.

2. Epitaxial growth aid: used as a surface treatment agent in the epitaxial process, helping to improve the quality of the epitaxial layer, improve lattice matching, and reduce the formation of lattice defects.

3. Substrate pretreatment: Before the semiconductor device preparation, electronic grade hydrogen chloride can be used to treat the substrate surface to form a stable substrate to improve the adhesion between the epitaxial layer and the substrate.

4. Deposition assistant: In the process of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD), electronic grade hydrogen chloride can be used as a vapor transfer medium to participate in the deposition reaction of semiconductor materials.

5. Gas phase transfer agent: As a gas phase transfer agent, other gas precursors are introduced into the reaction chamber, which helps to regulate the deposition rate and uniformity of the material.

These characteristics make electronic grade hydrogen chloride an important treatment agent in semiconductor processes, which has a key impact on the performance and reliability of the final device.
