2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, electronic materials such as a silicon substrate for a semiconductor and a glass substrate for a liquid crystal have been known as RCA cleaning, a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, a mixture of hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide and water, It has been cleaned by high-temperature cleaning using a concentrated chemical based on hydrogen peroxide, such as a mixture of ammonia water, hydrogen peroxide water and water. If this cleaning method is adopted, the cost of chemicals, the cost of ultrapure water for rinsing, the cost of waste liquid treatment, and the cost of air conditioning that exhausts chemical vapors and creates clean air will be reduced. In order to reduce the burden on the environment such as mass disposal and emission of exhaust gas, the wet cleaning process has recently been reviewed.
The present inventors have found that among impurities to be removed in the wet cleaning step using a chemical solution or water, particularly, the removal of fine particles, which have a great effect on the performance of electronic products and are regarded as problematic, has a low concentration of chemicals or chemicals. We have developed a cleaning method using hydrogenated ultrapure water as a cleaning water, which can provide a high cleaning effect at room temperature without addition. This washing water uses a small amount of chemicals, can be easily manufactured, and can remove fine particles by cleaning the surface of electronic materials and the like contaminated with fine particles with high cleaning efficiency. In some cases, high purity hydrogen gas cannot be dissolved and used in ultrapure water due to the problems described above, so there is a need for a method for removing fine particles that can easily obtain the same cleaning effect as cleaning with hydrogenated ultrapure water. It became so. Further, not only in the precision cleaning of expensive electronic material surfaces but also in the field of simpler member cleaning, there is a demand for a method for removing fine particles which does not require special equipment at low cost and is highly effective.

In the method of the present invention, a physical action such as ultrasonic waves can be used at the time of contact between the reducing water and the object to be cleaned. By transmitting the ultrasonic waves to the reducing water that comes into contact with the object to be cleaned, the effect of desorbing the fine particles from the surface of the object to be cleaned can be enhanced. In a field where very fine processing such as an electronic material is performed and a clean surface is required, when transmitting ultrasonic waves, the frequency is 400
It is preferably at least kHz, more preferably at least 1 MHz. If the frequency of the ultrasonic wave is about several tens of kHz conventionally used, there is a possibility that the object to be cleaned may be damaged due to the cavitation effect caused by the ultrasonic wave. In the method of the present invention, there is no particular limitation on the method of bringing the reducing water into contact with the object to be cleaned.For example, the object to be cleaned is immersed in a cleaning water tank filled with reducing water, and the reducing water and the object to be cleaned are washed. Batch-type cleaning can be performed by contacting for a predetermined time and transmitting ultrasonic waves as necessary, or the object to be cleaned can be placed on a spinner or a movable gantry, and ultrasonic waves can be transmitted to reducing water as necessary. Alternatively, single-wafer cleaning in which reducing water is poured onto the surface of the object to be cleaned for treatment may be performed.

Become. That is, since the cleaning waste liquid such as the conventional RCA cleaning method is discharged in a high-concentration state containing a large amount of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, a neutralization treatment or a decomposition treatment is required. While the same amount of drug as that used in the preparation was required, in the method of the present invention, only a small amount of reducing drug was used, so that drug cost can be greatly reduced. . According to the method of the present invention, by contacting the reduced water prepared by adding a reducing agent to water with the object to be cleaned, the same as the cleaning using hydrogenated ultrapure water developed earlier by the present inventors. And the fine particles attached to the surface of the object to be cleaned can be easily removed. Therefore, fine particles on the surface of the object to be cleaned can be easily removed without installing special equipment such as a dissolving film device for dissolving hydrogen in ultrapure water.

The standard oxidation-reduction potential of the used washing water was 400 mV. Comparative Example 2 A cleaning test was performed using ultrapure water in which 0.5 ppm of hydrogen was dissolved as cleaning water. The fine particle removal rate was 72%. The standard oxidation-reduction potential of the used washing water was -400 m
