Defect Mitigation And Characterization In Silicon Hardmask Materials

The lowest defect count comes from using 5-nm PTFE NTD2 filter with proprietary surface treatment.

From SPIE Digital Library:

In this study, metal contaminants, liquid particle count and on-wafer defects of Si- HMs and filtration removal rates are monitored to determine the effect of filter type, pore size, media morphology, and cleanliness on filtration performance. 5-nm PTFE NTD2 filter having proprietary surface treatment used in this study shows lowest defect count.
