Stain marks on wafer after processing
Jay M

Hello all:

I have Si(100) wafers(thichness 425um) with 1um low stress silicon nitride
deposited.
I have etched my wafers with KOH(25% w.t., 80C) to get depth of ~360um. I
cleaned it with DI water and
sputtered 0.5um of TiW on backside of the wafer. Now I could see some stain
marks (clouds)
on TiW mostly near the edges. Does anyone have an idea what it could be?

Thanks a lot,
Jay M
