Dear Jason,

typical chemicals for wet cleaning of silicon wafers (RCA Standard Clean,
RCA Review, p. 187, June 1970):

organics:     SPM - sulfuric acid/hydrogen peroxide mixture (I use
H2SO4/H2O2 - 4:1)
                    APM - ammonium hydroxide/hydrogen peroxide/DI water
mixture (NH4/H2O2/DIW - 1:1:8)
