Fig. 3 A is the diagram part end view of inner core 39, and Fig. 3 B is the diagram upward view of inner core 39.Near Fig. 3 A only represents flange 39B part.
Flange 39B has the shape of umbrella, and central shaft Q is generally perpendicularly outstanding to the side relatively.Be formed with 6 grooves 42 at flange 39B.Each groove 42 from the outer peripheral face of flange 39B to the inside of flange 39B, with along with central shaft Q almost parallel and do not comprise the mode on the plane of central shaft Q, with mutually roughly equal angles form at interval.
Seeing along the direction of central shaft Q, all relatively aperture position on the periphery of flange connector 39B and central shaft Q be radially for the groove 42 of any one, with roughly the same angle oblique, and form (with reference to Fig. 3 B) in mode along the tangent line of the periphery of the short tube 39D of portion.Therefore, in second fluid nozzle 2, seeing that groove 42 forms in the mode along the tangential direction of gas vent 36 (circle round stream form stream 38) along the direction of central shaft Q.
In second fluid nozzle 2, the outer circumferential side of groove 42 is stopped up by the inwall of urceolus 34, thus, is formed with 6 airflow direction conversion streams 43.In addition, at the short tube 39D of the portion side circumference of flange 39B, the peristome crested 34A of portion of groove 42 covers (with reference to Fig. 2).On the other hand, seeing that the part of the private side of groove 42 is positioned at and gas vent 36 position overlapped along the direction of central shaft Q.
Like this, be formed with the second fluid nozzle 2 of airflow direction conversion stream 43 in inside, only just can obtain to be embedded in the inner core 39 that is formed with groove 42 around at urceolus 34.
When from nitrogen pipe arrangement 25 when cylinder stream 35 imports nitrogen, nitrogen flows to airflow direction conversion stream 43 sides at cylinder stream 35 along its bus, and is imported into airflow direction conversion stream 43.In airflow direction conversion stream 43 in the flowing nitrogen, form stream 38 sides in the outer circumferential side flowing nitrogen of flange 39B at the stream that circles round, flow to the private side (direction of representing flow of nitrogen gas at Fig. 3 B with arrow K) of flange 39B along the inwall of shielding portion 34A.At this moment, the direction of flow of nitrogen gas is transformed to the direction that has along the component of the circumferencial direction of gas flow path 44 (stream that circles round forms stream 38) from the generatrix direction of gas flow path 44.
Form in the stream 38 at the stream that circles round, nitrogen can freely flow along the circumferencial direction of the stream formation stream 38 that circles round.Thus, the nitrogen that is directed to the stream formation stream 38 that circles round from airflow direction conversion stream 43 flows in the mode of rotating in the counterclockwise direction among Fig. 3 B around central shaft Q (treatment fluid stream 40), and is imported into gas vent 36.
By forming 6 airflow direction conversion streams 43, and from the circumference of gas flow path 44 cylindraceous roughly across 6 places that disposed at interval, the air-flow that has changed direction is imported to the stream that circles round forms stream 38 (gas vent 36 sides).Thus, the circumferencial direction (direction of circling round) at the stream formation stream 38 that circles round forms the stream that circles round uniformly.
Fig. 4 is the diagrammatic perspective view of expression from the direct of travel of the nitrogen of gas vent 36 ejections of second fluid nozzle 2.In Fig. 4, represent the direct of travel of nitrogen with arrow N.Form stream 38 at the stream that circles round, nitrogen flows in the mode of circling round around treatment fluid stream 40, and the nitrogen from gas vent 36 ejections forms swirling air stream near gas vent 36 thus.Nitrogen is ejected from gas vent 36 after the stream formation stream 38 that circles round forms the stream that circles round, and therefore, it is even that this swirling air stream becomes in a circumferential direction.The swirling air stream of nitrogen is formed in the mode of surrounding the pure water of ejection from treatment fluid ejiction opening 41 along central shaft Q.
Seeing along the direction of central shaft Q, by forming groove 42, advancing in the direction of the component of tangential direction with gas vent 36 from the nitrogen of gas vent 36 ejections in mode along the tangential direction of gas vent 36.Thus, the stream of liquid droplets that is moved to the pure water on the wafer W from second fluid nozzle 2 and nitrogen together mainly has: restriction L1, its be formed on treatment fluid ejiction opening 41 near; Diffusion part M1, it is just expanded more from the approaching more surface that is maintained at the wafer W on the rotary chuck 10 of restriction L1.
Restriction L1 has such shape (roughly rounding frustum shape): the area of the cross section vertical with the emission direction of pure water (diameter of approximate circular cross-section) is just reducing along the approaching more wafer W that is maintained on the rotary chuck 10 of the each several part of the emission direction of pure water.Diffusion part M1 is connected setting with the end of rotary chuck 10 sides of restriction L1, has such shape (roughly truncated cone shape): the area of the cross section vertical with the emission direction of pure water (diameter of approximate circular cross-section) is along with increasing near rotary chuck 10.Therefore, by restriction L1 and diffusion part M1, and the shape of formation cydariform.
The main direct of travel (central axis direction of swirling air stream) of the drop of the pure water that sprays from second fluid nozzle 2 is with respect to the wafer W approximate vertical.
Fig. 5 is the diagrammatic perspective view of expression from other examples of the direct of travel of the nitrogen of gas vent 36 ejections of second fluid nozzle 2.In Fig. 5, represent the direct of travel of nitrogen with arrow N.The stream of liquid droplets that is moved to the pure water on the wafer W from second fluid nozzle 2 and nitrogen together mainly has: restriction L2, its be formed on treatment fluid ejiction opening 41 near; Diffusion part M2, its from restriction L1 along with expanding near the surface that is maintained at the wafer W on the rotary chuck 10.
In this example, restriction L2 has such shape (substantial cylindrical shape): the area of the cross section vertical with the emission direction of pure water (diameter of approximate circular cross-section) is much the same at the each several part along the emission direction of pure water.Diffusion part M2 is connected setting with the end of rotary chuck 10 sides of restriction L2, has such shape (roughly truncated cone shape): the area of the cross section vertical with the emission direction of pure water (diameter of approximate circular cross-section) is along with increasing near rotary chuck 10.
Like this, the nitrogen that flows to wafer W from gas vent 36 at restriction L1, L2 can not flow in mode to the side diffusion.Thus, owing to closed in narrower zone,, generate the drop that has than the pure water of minor diameter effectively so pure water and nitrogen mix (collision) effectively from the pure water of treatment fluid ejiction opening 41 ejections.
In addition, middle part is by throttling and flowing nitrogen is pushed effectively from behind by the nitrogen from gas vent 36 ejection and flowed, so can just can not arrive wafer W than big retarding like this.The drop of pure water and be handled upside down together from the nitrogen of gas vent 36 ejection advances, so the drop of pure water can just can not arrive wafer W than big retarding yet.
That is, the drop of pure water does not rely on the distance between second fluid nozzle 2 and the wafer W surface, has the kinetic energy corresponding with the flow of the nitrogen that is put to second fluid nozzle 2 and can collide on the wafer W.Thus, give particle kinetic energy, and remove degranulation, so the wafer W surface is cleaned effectively attached to the wafer W surface.
And then, in the second fluid nozzle 2 of present embodiment, because the direction of the drop of the pure water that sprayed is stable, so be maintained at cleaning regional stability in the wafer W on the rotary chuck 10.Therefore, clean wafers W equably.
The following table 1 expression inventor makes the differences such as size of the second fluid nozzle 2 that constitutes like that as described above carry out the result of cleaning experiment.
At " comparative example ", be the external diameter a=3.5mm of gas vent 36, its width c=0.3mm, the diameter b=2.9mm of treatment fluid ejiction opening 41.In addition, at " first embodiment ", be a=2.2mm, b=2.1mm, c=0.05mm.And then, at " second embodiment ", be a=2.5mm, b=2.3mm, c=0.1mm.
Table 1
Figure C20071000408800171
About comparative example 2, the height of second fluid nozzle 2 from the wafer W surface is set at 3mm, 6mm, 10mm and 20mm respectively, simultaneously regulate nitrogen flow respectively in the mode that can obtain 50% the rate of removing, experimentize.The pure water flow all is 100 milliliters of per minutes under situation arbitrarily.About first embodiment, the height of second fluid nozzle 2 from the wafer W surface is set at 3mm and 10mm respectively, simultaneously regulate nitrogen flow respectively in the mode that can obtain 50% the rate of removing, experimentize.The pure water flow all is 100 milliliters of per minutes under situation arbitrarily.About second embodiment, the height of second fluid nozzle 2 from the wafer W surface is set at 3mm, 6mm, 10mm and 20mm respectively, simultaneously regulate nitrogen flow respectively in the mode that can obtain 50% the rate of removing, experimentize.The pure water flow all is 100 milliliters of per minutes under situation arbitrarily.Like this, under the condition of being removed rate on an equal basis, investigate cleaning area, liquid-drop diameter and drop density on the wafer W and the damage number of the pattern on the wafer W.
Here, so-called " removing rate " is meant from being attached with this atomic ratio that atomic wafer W is removed in advance.Specifically, measure the population N on wafer W surface 0, make particle (Si then 3N 4Particle) on the surface attached to wafer W, and measures the population N on wafer W surface 1, and then, after cleaning, measure the population N on wafer W surface 2The rate of removing of this moment is calculated by following formula.
Remove rate (%)=100 * (N 1-N 2)/(N 1-N 0)
Also have, the what is called " highly " of second fluid nozzle 2 from the wafer W surface is meant from the wafer W surface to second fluid nozzle the height of 2 gas-liquid mixed point.Strictly speaking, the gas-liquid mixed point is in the position of below from about the about 2mm in the lower end of second fluid nozzle 2, but, even regard as identical in fact also less than influence with the lower end position (that is the position of gas vent 36 and treatment fluid ejiction opening 41) of second fluid nozzle 2.Because gas-liquid mixed point must thus, be stipulated the lower limit of " highly " on the surface of wafer W.Set upper limit does not have reason physically.
" nitrogen flow " is by the nozzle arrangements set upper limit.That is, at the nozzle of first and second embodiment, compared to the nozzle of comparative example, the upper limit of flow diminishes.Nitrogen flow is controlled in the mode that can access the desired rate of removing (for example 50%) as described above.
So-called " cleaning area " is (the arrival zone, zone that is arrived the surface of wafer W by the droplet stream that second fluid nozzle 2 generates.The cleaning zone) size.Because this arrives the zone is circular regions, so just can obtain cleaning area by measuring its diameter.The diameter that arrives the zone can directly measure with ruler, also can make the wafer W rotation, and come the zone of the ring-type (band shape) on the clean wafers W by droplet stream from second fluid nozzle 2, the disconnected degree by measuring this annular section with ruler also indirectly instrumentation come out.Cleaning area can be adjusted according to " highly " of second fluid nozzle 2.That is, because high highly more, droplet stream is diffusion more just, so the cleaning area change is big.
So-called " liquid-drop diameter " is the mean particle diameter of drop, here, is volume median diameter (VMD).So-called volume median diameter is to use the volume of the liquid that sprays from second fluid nozzle 2 to represent the yardstick of the particle diameter of drop, in the total of the volume of the drop bigger be than certain particle diameter the whole droplet size observed 50% (therefore, the total of the volume of the drop littler than this particle diameter be the whole droplet size observed 50%) situation under, this particle diameter is called volume median diameter.Volume median diameter can use laser diffraction formula particle diameter measure of spread device etc. to measure.
In the nozzle of comparative example, liquid-drop diameter diminishes along with the increase of nitrogen flow.With respect to this, in the nozzle of first and second embodiment, liquid-drop diameter depends on nitrogen flow hardly.Therefore, the nozzle at first and second embodiment has such advantage: even produce some deviations on nitrogen flow, also can keep liquid-drop diameter.
So-called " drop density " is meant the number of drops that arrives the unit are (being 1 square millimeter here) on wafer W surface here in the unit interval (being 1 minute).This drop density is based on the measurement result of cleaning area and volume median diameter and put into the pure water flow of second fluid nozzle 2, can obtain by calculating.Under the situation of the nozzle that utilizes first and second embodiment, because liquid ground diameter depends on nitrogen flow hardly, so can think that drop density is subjected to the influence of " highly " of nozzle.That is,, drop density is uprised if the height of nozzle reduces.
Experiment uses second wafer that has formed first wafer of first corrosion-resisting pattern on the surface and formed second corrosion-resisting pattern on the surface to carry out.Second corrosion-resisting pattern is compared the first corrosion-resisting pattern fragility.First and second pattern all is to be the line that the interval of 180nm has formed live width 180nm with width.
So-called " damage number " is meant the disappear sum of (damaged) of pattern collapse on the wafer and pattern.About the damage number, will be 100 below at first wafer, be the whether qualified determinating reference of conduct below 1000 at second wafer.
From the explanation of Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 as can be known, the height of second fluid nozzle 2 is high more, and cleaning area is just big more, and is correspondingly, just low more in the drop density on wafer W surface.In addition, being used to reach the needed nitrogen flow of removing rate increases.In the nozzle of second embodiment, for the situation that " highly " of nozzle is made as 20nm, when using above-mentioned whether qualification determination benchmark, the result is underproof result (with reference to table 1).This is to infer: for the height that improves nozzle drop density is diminished and cause foreign matter to remove the effect deficiency, the result who nitrogen flow is increased in order to remedy this effect deficiency is that it is big that damage becomes.Therefore, we can say that the height of preferred nozzle is made as below the 20mm, more preferably is made as below the 10mm.And then we can say that nitrogen flow is that per minute helps reducing damage below 17 milliliters.
In comparative example, even drop at height under the situation of 6mm, also be 33 liters/minute in order to reach 50% the needed nitrogen flow of the rate of removing with second fluid nozzle 2, the liquid-drop diameter of this moment is 33 μ m, drop density is 8.06 * 10 7Individual/minute mm 2At this moment, the damage number of first wafer is 103, and the damage number of second wafer is 1115, and the pattern on wafer w surface is applied with the damage that is not allowed to.
On the other hand, under the situation of utilizing first embodiment and second embodiment, even when the height with second fluid nozzle 2 rises to 10mm, for reaching 50% the needed nitrogen flow of the rate of removing also is about 4~17 liters/minute, the liquid-drop diameter of this moment is respectively 20 μ m, 23 μ m, and drop density is respectively 18.42 * 10 7Individual/minute mm 2, 17.08 * 10 7Individual/minute mm 2That is, owing to can obtain fine droplet diameter about 20 μ m with the less gas flow, so do not need to improve flow.Correspondingly, under the situation of utilizing first embodiment, damaging several second wafers is 631, and under the situation of utilizing second embodiment, damage quantity first wafer is 77, all in allowed band.
Like this, by using the second fluid nozzle of first and second embodiment, thereby nitrogen flow can be suppressed at low discharge, and can the drop of path be supplied to the wafer W surface with high density, its result can reduce the damage to the pattern on wafer W surface.Certainly, also can cut down the use amount of nitrogen.
Fig. 6 A represents the relation of the pattern damage number on the drop density and first wafer, and Fig. 6 B represents the relation of the pattern damage number on the drop density and second wafer.Hence one can see that, is 10 in drop density 8Individual/minute mm 2Under the above situation, the damage number tails off.And then, in drop density less than 10 8Individual/minute mm 2The zone (more particularly, less than 1.2 * 10 8Individual/minute mm 2The zone), the damage number depend on drop density significantly, with respect to this, be 10 in drop density 8Individual/minute mm 2Above zone (especially 1.2 * 10 8Individual/minute mm 2Above zone), found drop density macrolesion number few more tendency just more, but do not found big drop density dependence.In other words, we can say that drop density is 10 8Individual/minute mm 2Above zone (especially 1.2 * 10 8Individual/minute mm 2Above zone), be the smaller zone of drop density dependence of damage number.From shown in Fig. 6 B with reference to straight line L1, L2 as can be known, in drop density less than 1.2 * 10 8Individual/minute mm 2The zone, the drop density dependence of damage number becomes big, is 10 in drop density 8Individual/minute mm 2Above zone, the drop density dependence of damage number diminishes.Therefore, be 1.2 * 10 preferably in drop density 8Individual/minute mm 2Carry out foreign matter under the above condition and remove processing.
Fig. 7 A represents the relation of the pattern damage number of the nozzle height in the above-mentioned comparative example and first wafer, and Fig. 7 B represents the relation of the pattern damage number of the nozzle height in the above-mentioned comparative example and second wafer.And then Fig. 8 A represents the relation of nozzle height among above-mentioned first embodiment and the damage of the pattern on second wafer number, and Fig. 8 B represents the relation of the pattern damage number of the nozzle height among above-mentioned second embodiment and first wafer.Can hold such relation from these figure: when improving nozzle height, cleaning area broadens, and correspondingly, the drop density table is little, its result, and in order to remedy cleansing power when increasing nitrogen flow, the damage number becomes big.
More than, an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, still, this invention can also be implemented with other modes.For example, in the above-described embodiment, be example with the second fluid nozzle that sprays the structure of nitrogen from gas vent 36 swirl shape ground, still, the gas that sprays from gas vent may not need to form gyrate air-flow.Promptly, even also can use the present invention to the substrate board treatment liquid that has used second fluid nozzle (for example with reference to Fig. 9), wherein, this second fluid nozzle is from the gas of the gas vent ejection structure from the treatment fluid of treatment fluid ejiction opening ejection from radiation direction gas jet relatively.
In addition, can use distilled water etc. to replace deionized water, can use the kind and the suitable treatment fluid of amount of impurity according to purpose by the pure water that the method beyond the ion-exchange obtains.
Being not limited to pure water (cleaning fluid) from the treatment fluid of second fluid nozzle 2 ejection, also can be etching solution for example.At this moment, mix etching solution and nitrogen effectively, generate the drop of the less etching solution of particle diameter by second fluid nozzle 2.Thus, do not bring the just surface of energy etched wafer W of damage to wafer W.
In addition, owing to do not expand propelling significantly, so can make the drop of etching solution collide the surface of wafer W, the surface of etched wafer W effectively with big kinetic energy to the side from the nitrogen of gas vent 36 ejection.
Can dispose second fluid nozzle 2 with the posture of the normal oblique of the central shaft Q of second fluid nozzle 2 and wafer W so that the main direct of travel (central axis direction of swirling air stream) of the drop of the pure water that sprays from second fluid nozzle 2 relatively wafer W tilt.
Embodiments of the present invention at length are illustrated, but these are only for making the clear concrete example that uses of technology contents of the present invention, the present invention should not be defined in these concrete examples and explain that spirit of the present invention and scope are only limited by the claim number.
