Description: This proceedings volume describes the recent progress in the field of ultra-clean surfaces and surface cleaning and preparation for the production of micro- and nanoelectronic integrated circuits and related subjects. This involves a wide variety of surfaces of mixed composition and with nano-topography with an aspect ratio of lateral dimension/vertical dimension on the order of 1/10. The goal of the processes is to obtain nano precise etching and cleaning, resulting in ultra-clean surfaces with very few residues or defects. This comprises different surface and cleaning steps throughout the entire device manufacturing process.
