Abstract

The invention is a method for removing organic and other contaminants, such as photo-resist, from semi-conductor dies and micro-lenses by placing the dies in a solution of two parts ethylene, diamine tetra-acetic-acid (EDTA) to one part peroxide at a temperature of between 30.degree. and 55.degree. C., and preferably between 40.degree. and 44.degree. C., for a period of 1-30 minutes, and preferably between 2 and 10 minutes.
