Cleaning device and method after the etching of large-size sapphire wafer patterning process in one
Technical field
The present invention relates to cleaning technique field after the etching of sapphire wafer patterning process, relate in particular to cleaning device and method after a kind of new-type middle large-size sapphire wafer (>4 inch) patterning process etching, be applied to PSS patterning sapphire wafer substrate and make, the acid tank cleaning technique that changes tradition is single-wafer cleaning technique.
Background technology
The existing wafer that is applied to middle large-size sapphire wafer patterning process; because these wafers are after gold-tinted and etching; surface has manyly reacts the accessory substance producing because of etching gas with photoresistance; please wash equipment and processing procedure and this kind of accessory substance uses cell body formula; usually can cause pollutant and the clearance of particles of reduced size to be difficult for, and often cause cross pollution.Conventional Wet technique clears the pollution off with liquid fluid on the surface of wafer, but their efficiency is not good, sometimes cannot remove less pollutant completely, and therefore part pollutant is still retained on the surface of wafer.Wafer cleaning processing procedure after etching, is all the cleaning equipment of cell body formula, as shown in Figure 1 at present, it is cleaning process after current etching, adopting acid tank, carry out successively the cleaning of new acetone mega sonic wave, washed with de-ionized water, the mixed cleaning fluid of SPM(sulfuric acid hydrogen peroxide, is mainly by H

Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide cleaning device and method after large-size sapphire wafer in one (>4 inch) patterning process etching, to avoid the phenomenon of cross pollution, reach the effect of cleaning, and then improved yield rate and the yield of subsequent pattern processing procedure and MOCVD processing procedure.
In order to reach above-mentioned purpose, solution of the present invention is:
Cleaning device after the etching of large-size sapphire wafer patterning process in one, formed by motor, vacuum suction platform and top shower nozzle, vacuum suction platform is arranged on the output of motor, in vacuum suction platform, form airway, the lower termination source of the gas of airway, on vacuum suction platform, the bottom surface of corresponding sapphire wafer is offered one and is irised out pore and be connected with the upper end of airway, and top shower nozzle is arranged on vacuum suction platform top.
Described top shower nozzle comprises two deionized water shower nozzles, SPM shower nozzle and cold SC1 shower nozzle.
Described venthole is outward-dipping shape from the bottom to top.
In one, cleaning method after the etching of large-size sapphire wafer patterning process, the steps include:
The first step, adopts vacuum suction platform to fix sapphire wafer, opens driven by motor vacuum suction platform and the sapphire wafer rotation of vacuum suction platform below, rotating speed 200rpm;
Second step, opens source of the gas, jet to the bottom surface of sapphire wafer through venthole by the airway of vacuum suction platform;
The 3rd step, continues the first step and second step, meanwhile, sprays outward SPM clean with top shower nozzle at sapphire wafer top from centre;
The 4th step, continues the first step and second step, meanwhile, sprays outward deionized water carry out mega sonic wave cleaning with top shower nozzle at sapphire wafer top from centre;
The 5th step, continues the first step and second step, meanwhile, sprays outward cold SC1 clean with top shower nozzle at sapphire wafer top from centre;
The 6th step, continues the first step and second step, meanwhile, sprays outward deionized water carry out mega sonic wave cleaning with top shower nozzle at sapphire wafer top from centre;
The 7th step, continues the first step, and the speed that last wafer turns with 1500-2000 per minute is spin-dried for fast, disable motor.
Adopt after such scheme, the invention provides equipment and new-type manufacturing process for cleaning that monolithic cleans, rotate for pollutant and produce a centrifugal force by sapphire wafer, SPM is sprayed outward by centre, make it with etching after byproduct reaction, and allow fluid form little cavitation foam with deionized water and the cold SC1 of million acoustic energy energy, contribute to the surface removal particle from wafer.After this kind of new-type etching, cleaning technique can guarantee can not produce the phenomenon of cross pollution, to reach the effect of cleaning, has also improved yield rate and the yield of ensuing patterning process and MOCVD processing procedure.

Detailed description of the invention
As shown in Figure 3, the present invention has disclosed in one cleaning device after the etching of large-size sapphire wafer patterning process, is made up of motor (common member, not shown), vacuum suction platform 1 and some tops shower nozzle 2.
Vacuum suction platform 1 is arranged on the output of motor, forms airway 11 in vacuum suction platform 1, the lower termination source of the gas of airway 11, and on vacuum suction platform 1, the bottom surface of corresponding sapphire wafer 10 is offered one and is irised out pore 12 and be connected with the upper end of airway 11.Venthole 12 is outward-dipping shape from the bottom to top, is beneficial to gas and sends to the bottom edge of sapphire wafer 10.
Top shower nozzle 2 is arranged on vacuum suction platform 1 top.Top shower nozzle 2 comprises two deionized water shower nozzles 21, SPM shower nozzle 22 and cold SC1 shower nozzle 23, can also increase as required the number of top shower nozzle 2.
As shown in Figure 2, cleaning method after the etching of large-size sapphire wafer patterning process in the one that the present invention discloses, uses Fig. 3 shown device to clean, and the steps include:
The first step, first adopts sapphire wafer 10 vacuum suction platform 1 fixing, then opens the motor of vacuum suction platform 1 below, is rotated rotating speed 200rpm by driven by motor vacuum suction platform 1 and sapphire wafer 10;
Second step, open source of the gas, source of the gas can be the gas that nitrogen etc. does not react, airway 11 by vacuum suction platform 1 is jet to the bottom surface of sapphire wafer 10 through venthole 12, can avoid cleaning fluid to flow to sapphire wafer 10 back sides along sapphire wafer 10 edges by this gas and pollute, impaired;
