ABSTRACT
The need to incorporate new materials with every new generation of devices has created a completely new situation for contamination control and cleaning. Cleaning technologies that can remove contaminants without attaching these new materials need to be developed. We also need to change our perception of what contamination is and how it should be controlled.
