Abstract

In a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device that has an amorphous-silicon film onto which hemispherical grains are grown, a silicon wafer is cleaned at an elevated temperature using amnmonia hydrogen peroxide water solution, cleaned at an elevated temperature using chlorine hydrogen peroxide water solution, and then immersed in dilute hydrofluoric acid solution, after which it is rinsed with pure water, after which the amorphous-silicon film surface of the wafer is dried using isopropyl alcohol.
