Lrge dicrencie between the exerimentl dt nd theoreticl reult for KrF ler ugget tht n dry ler clening cnnot be exlined on the bi of therml exnion mechnim lone. Keyword: Ler clening, modeling, dheion, ocilltion, SiO, Si, LPM.. Introduction Ler clening i under conidertion for uge in mny mnufcturing rocee,. In dry clening (DLC) therml exnion i believed to be reonible for rticle removl. Stem ler clening (SLC), though more efficient 5, i incomtible with ome liction 6. Uully, one comre clening nd dheion force. Nnoecond ler clening, due to hort time involved, require conidertion of dynmic effect. The model uggeted in the literture o fr require imrovement. Therml exnion of the ubtrte 7 w treted inccurtely nd ertely from tht of the rticle 8,9. When eltic deformtion of the rticle comreed by the exnding ubtrte w conidered, dheion nd eltic force were conidered ertely nd the influence of the rticle on the ubtrte deformtion w not treted roerly. Removl of borbing rticle nd elticity of the ubtrte w nlyzed on the bi of force blnce only, without tking rticle movement into ccount nd rticle temerture w etimted in very crude wy. Mot of the model do not conider temorl rofile of the ler ule, which ume infinite ccelertion/decelertion. Though energy criterion w mentioned, it region of licbility w not clerly tted. Redeoition nd diitive rocee were conidered in,, but only fter the ule. Numericl reult did not rovide comct formul for clening fluence. It i not cler, which rmeter cn imrove the clening efficiency nd decree the clening threhold. We develo n nlyticl model, which incororte the influence of exerimentl rmeter nd different fctor tht contribute to DLC. Sound effect nd field enhncement 5,6 re not conidered.. Adheion otentil nd evolution eqution Let u introduce n roximte dheion otentil tht tke into ccount Vn der Wl (VdW) ttrction nd eltic force. If rticle with rdiu r nd lne re roched by ditnce h (ee Fig. ) the energy of the ytem i the um of the VdW energy (work of dheion ϕ over the contct re πhr) nd eltic energy, which i tken from the Hertz contct roblem 7. Thi reult in the following roximte otentil nd force: / / 5 / / h r U = πrhϕ+ h r, F = πϕ r () 5θ θ Here θ chrcterize eltic roertie of the rticle () nd the ubtrte (). It i dominted by the roertie of the ofter mteril (where the eltic energy i minly tored).

The mximum (ull-out) force i reched there nd i given by F = πrϕ (5) Thi llow one to infer ϕ from force meurement. The otentil () cn be roximted by rbol of the me deth with chrcteritic ocilltion frequency nd eriod: U h h τ = π/ ω n (7) Here v i the ound velocity. Etimtion ume r~ µm nd mteril rmeter from Tble.

Let x be the coordinte of the rticle center nd l the urfce dilcement in the lbortory frme, both counted from the initil oition of the urfce. Then h = l + r x (8) All quntitie deend on time. By rewriting Newton eqution with the force () for h inted of x with the hel of (8), we obtin the eqution for the evolution of h (dot tnd for time derivtive): / h / r h && h& + γ = πϕ r + ( l&& r&& ) m θ + (9) The term m l && cn be interreted the force of inerti, but rticle exnion ct in imilr wy. r r x ε ENERGY U/ U h Fig. Schemtic of the rticle-ubtrte deformtion.
