Patent attributes
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device including attaching, by a liquid treatment, a first liquid to a surface of a semiconductor substrate having a fine pattern formed therein; substituting the first liquid attached to the surface of the semiconductor substrate with a solution, the solution comprising a sublimate dissolved in a second liquid; vaporizing the second liquid and precipitating the sublimate to the surface of the semiconductor substrate to forma solid precipitate comprising the sublimate; and removing the precipitate by sublimation. For example, the sublimate may be a material having at least two carboxyl groups bonded to cyclohexane or a material formed of two carboxyl groups bonded to benzene with the bonding sites of the two carboxyl groups being adjacent to one another.
