Notes:
The surface chemistry of an alkaline-earth boroaluminosilicate glass is changed by contact with chemical solutions. The present study shows that RCA cleaning creates a silica-rich surface on the glass. This altered surface can be removed by hydrofluoric acid etching. During the RCA cleaning process, glass components can be transferred to a polysilicon film placed in the same alkaline solution. The acidic solution in turn removes most of the contamination from the polysilicon. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
