Particle precursors, defined as a dissolved molecular compound, which may form particles when dried on the wafer surface, have been identified in multiple studies as a risk to semiconductor manufacturing yield. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the utility of the Guide for Evaluation of Metrology for Particle Precursors in Ultrapure Water by evaluating multiple instruments at multiple facilities following the guidelines and comparing outcomes.
