Method of evaluating cleanliness, method of determining cleaning condition, and method of manufacturing silicon wafer
First Claim
1. A method of evaluating cleanliness of a member having a silicon carbide surface, which comprises:
- bringing the silicon carbide surface into contact with a mixed acid of hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid;
concentrating the mixed acid brought into contact with the silicon carbide surface by heating to obtain a concentrated liquid;
adding a solution to the concentrated liquid to obtain a sample solution;
performing quantitative analysis of metal components present in the sample solution by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry; and
evaluating cleanliness of the member having the silicon carbide surface on the basis of a quantitative result of the metal components obtained by the quantitative analysis.
