Megasonic and Ultrasonic Cleaning are both helpful for particle removal applications, and enhancing the speed and effect of most diffusion limited chemical reactions. Both have also demonstrated enhanced chemical residual removal for rinse applications. So how do you know when to use Ultrasonics or Megasonics? Here are a few good rules to determine which frequency is right for your application.
| Ultrasonic Cleaning Applications | Megasonic Applications |
| Large particle removal typically >5µm | Small Particle removal typically 30nm – 5µm |
| Robust Substrates | Sensitive Substrates or Structures |
| Heavy films or gross contamination | Heat Sensitive Substrates |
| Photoresist Removal – Metal Lift Off | Post Photoresist Removal Clean |
| Multi-Surface Cleaning | Line of Sight Cleaning |
