Alternatively, the line between described runner 510 and 520 is parallel with the axis of described cleaning brush 400 cylindraceous, and the line of the axis of described cleaning brush 400 and described two runners 510 and 520 lays respectively at the both sides of described pivot O.Like this can be so that apply power in the relative both sides of described semiconductor crystal wafer 300 pivots, thus the stability while effectively improving semiconductor crystal wafer 300 rotation.
Shown in figure 7, in another embodiment of the present invention, can another cleaning brush 410 can be set equally at the back side of described semiconductor crystal wafer 300, in cleaning semiconductor crystal wafer 300 processes, when this another cleaning brush 410 can effectively clean the back side of described semiconductor crystal wafer 300, play support semiconductor wafer 300.Alternatively, this another cleaning brush 410 be positioned at semiconductor crystal wafer 300 wait to scrub the cleaning brush 400 position corresponding settings of surface on 310, described cleaning brush 400 and 410 be take described semiconductor crystal wafer 300 and is mirror image symmetry as minute surface.
Alternatively, the rotating speed of described cleaning brush 410 is close with described cleaning brush 400, and the frictional force that described cleaning brush 410 axial-rotations produce described semiconductor crystal wafer 300 is towards described runner 510 and 520.Concrete, with reference to figure 7, described semiconductor crystal wafer 300 clockwise around A to rotation, described cleaning brush 410 is along C to rotation, and then improves the stability of described semiconductor crystal wafer 300 rotations.But the present invention is not construed as limiting for the structure of described another cleaning brush 410.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4 to Fig. 6, described rotating control assembly only comprises two runners, but in other embodiments, described rotating control assembly can comprise and is more than or equal to 3 described runners, each runner is arranged on described wafer 300 peripheries, and each runner sidewall and wafer 300 are tangent, thereby control described wafer 300 rotations.In Fig. 8 structural representation that is another embodiment of the present invention, in all sides of described semiconductor crystal wafer 300, be provided with 3 runners 530,540 and 550.The quantity that increases runner can effectively improve the stability of semiconductor crystal wafer rotation.
With reference to figure 9, Fig. 9 is the Electronic Speculum figure of the semiconductor crystal wafer after the method for scrubbing that existing semiconductor crystal wafer is scrubbed technique and semiconductor crystal wafer of the present invention is scrubbed.Wherein, what the top Electronic Speculum figure showed is just through CMP, to grind, and without the semiconductor wafer surface structure of scrubbing, second Electronic Speculum figure, show be through existing scrub that semiconductor wafer surface structure after technique, the 3rd Electronic Speculum figure and the 4th Electronic Speculum figure show be to adopt the technique of scrubbing embodiment of the method 1 of semiconductor crystal wafer of the present invention to scrub after semiconductor wafer surface structure, wherein, in the 3rd Electronic Speculum figure, D1=0.4 * D2, in the 4th Electronic Speculum figure, D1=0.1 * D2.Wherein, D2 is the width of the contact-making surface 700 of cleaning brush and semiconductor crystal wafer, and the axis that D1 is described cleaning brush is projected to the distance of the pivot of described semiconductor crystal wafer on described semiconductor crystal wafer.
Wherein, in the Electronic Speculum figure of the top, the waiting of described semiconductor crystal wafer 300 scrubs that the color on surface 310 is the darkest, and wherein 700 for waiting to scrub surperficial 310 centres, waiting to scrub surperficial 310 impurity after remaining CMP; Electronic Speculum figure below of contrast, known after scrubbing technique, effectively removed the impurity of semiconductor wafer surface, and it is slightly oxidized in the process of scrubbing to wait to scrub surface 310, thereby waits to scrub surface 310 and shoal; But shown in second Electronic Speculum figure (D1=0), wait to scrub the centre 730 on surface 310 and compare with periphery position, color whiting obviously, illustrates that centre is with seriously oxidized.And compare with second Electronic Speculum figure (D1=0), in the 3rd Electronic Speculum figure (D1=0.4D2), wait to scrub the centre 710 on surface 310, darker with the color in centre 720 of waiting to scrub surface 310 in the 4th Electronic Speculum figure (D1=0.1D2), oxidized degree is lower, illustrate and adopt the method for scrubbing of semiconductor crystal wafer of the present invention in effective removal of contamination while, can suppress to wait to scrub surperficial 310 centres by severe oxidation.
Contrast again the 3rd Electronic Speculum figure (D1=0.4D2) and the 4th Electronic Speculum figure (D1=0.1D2), the color in the centre 710 in the 3rd Electronic Speculum figure (D1=0.4D2) is darker than the color in the centre 720 in Fig. 9 d, centre 700 close to the semiconductor crystal wafer of not scrubbing, what semiconductor crystal wafer 300 in the 3rd Electronic Speculum figure (D1=0.4D2) was described waits that to scrub the centre degree of oxidation on surface 310 minimum, the technical scheme of the method for scrubbing of the semiconductor crystal wafer that the 3rd Electronic Speculum figure (D1=0.4D2) is corresponding, can contribute to better to suppress to scrub in semiconductor crystal wafer process, it is oxidized that semiconductor crystal wafer waits to scrub surperficial 310 centres.
Although the present invention discloses as above, the present invention is not defined in this.Any those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, all can make various changes or modifications, so protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with claim limited range.
