Embodiment
As stated in the Background Art, adopt after existing chemically-cleaning device cleans, easily make the pattern of the semiconductor structure being formed at crystal column surface bad.
Find through research, due in existing chemically-cleaning device, the sealing of liquid reserve tank is poor, easily make to be mixed into impurity in the cleaning fluid in liquid reserve tank, such as oxygen, causes the cleansing power of cleaning fluid to decline, and make the wafer after cleaning and semicon-ductor structure surface pattern bad.
Concrete, please continue to refer to Fig. 1, residue after the chemically-cleaning device described in Fig. 1 is used for etching metal (such as copper), then adopted chemical cleaning technology is NANO(high speed nitrogen and water) manufacturing process for cleaning, cleaning fluid is at least mixed by the nitrogen passed at a high speed and water, and the nitrogen passed at a high speed can form NH in water 4 +ion, described NH 4 +the impurity that ion produces after can removing etching metal.Owing at least being formed by nitrogen and water in cleaning fluid, therefore, except liquid-transport pipe-line 102 is connected with the top of described liquid reserve tank 100, at least also need from described liquid reserve tank outside by the cleaning fluid 110 in gas pipeline 106 supplying nitrogen to described liquid reserve tank 100, to supply the NH that cleaning fluid 110 internal cause runs off through cleaning 4 +ion.
But these connection with described liquid reserve tank 100 easily reduce the sealing property of described liquid reserve tank 100 for the pipeline (gas pipeline 106 and liquid-transport pipe-line 102) inputting gas or liquid, thus make the oxygen in air be mixed into described liquid reserve tank 100 inside.And, in order to improve the cycle rate of the cleaning fluid 110 between liquid reserve tank 100 and treatment chamber 101, the flow velocity discharging cleaning fluid 110 from liquid-transport pipe-line 102 in liquid reserve tank 100 is larger, the cleaning fluid 110 be discharged in liquid reserve tank 100 from liquid-transport pipe-line 102 is easily caused to produce a large amount of foams, it is inner that the described foam oxygen that can carry in liquid reserve tank 100 enters cleaning fluid 110, and oxygen is dissolved in cleaning fluid 110.When the described cleaning fluid 110 containing oxygen enters treatment chamber 101 and cleans pending wafer, easily cause the pattern Quality Down of pending crystal column surface.

When liquid-transport pipe-line discharges cleaning fluid in liquid reserve tank, a large amount of bubble-related issues are produced in order to solve, a kind of chemically-cleaning device is as shown in Figure 3 suggested, pass into liquid reserve tank 100 by liquid-transport pipe-line 102a inner, and described liquid-transport pipe-line 102a stretches into bottom cleaning fluid 110; Wherein, described in stretch into liquid reserve tank 100 inside liquid-transport pipe-line 102a sidewall surfaces there is some through holes 130, described through hole 130 can make the cleaning fluid 110 in liquid-transport pipe-line 102 export.Described liquid-transport pipe-line 102a can reduce and form a large amount of gas foam in cleaning fluid 110; But, because described liquid-transport pipe-line 102a stretches into bottom cleaning fluid 110, easily cause the chemical concentrations of the surface of the cleaning fluid 110 in liquid reserve tank 100 and bottom inconsistent, be unfavorable for the control to cleaning fluid 110 concentration exporting liquid reserve tank 100; And the concentration bottom cleaning fluid 110 is higher, easily make chemical substance in cleaning fluid at liquid reserve tank 100 bottom deposit; In addition, because described liquid-transport pipe-line 102a impregnated in cleaning fluid 110 for a long time, easily cause the corrosion in described woven hose 102a road, thus add the impurity of the cleaning fluid 110 be in liquid reserve tank 100, be unfavorable for the cleaning to pending wafer.
In order to solve the problem, the present invention proposes a kind of chemically-cleaning device, comprising: for holding the liquid reserve tank of chemical cleaning solution; The master being positioned at described liquid reserve tank top send pipeline, and it is inner that described master send pipeline to pass into described liquid reserve tank from described liquid reserve tank outside, and described master send pipeline to stretch into adjustable length in liquid reserve tank; Be positioned at some separatory pipelines of described liquid reserve tank inside, one end and the described master of described separatory pipeline send pipeline communication, the other end of described separatory pipeline extends to the sidewall direction of liquid reserve tank, for sending the chemical cleaning solution in pipeline to branch in some separatory pipelines by main, described separatory pipeline and main sending between pipeline have angle, and described corner dimension is adjustable; Be positioned at the drainage system of described liquid reserve tank interior side-wall surface, for the chemical cleaning solution disperseing described separatory pipeline to send, and described chemical cleaning solution flowed in liquid reserve tank by the guiding of described drainage system.
Wherein, described some separatory pipelines are communicated with main one end sending pipeline to stretch into liquid reserve tank, can will branch in some separatory pipelines from the chemical cleaning solution of liquid reserve tank outside conveying as inner by the main pipeline that send, and the other end of described separatory pipeline extends to the sidewall direction of liquid reserve tank, and described separatory pipeline towards the scope of activities of liquid reserve tank sidewall one end in the scope that described drainage system covers, therefore the chemical cleaning solution sent from separatory pipeline can fall in drainage system, make described chemical cleaning solution by the dispersion of described drainage system and guide bottom inflow liquid reserve tank, thus the flow velocity because flowing into the chemical cleaning solution in liquid reserve tank can be avoided excessive and form the problem of a large amount of foam, the impurity such as oxygen are made to be difficult to be mixed into described chemical cleaning solution inner, make chemical cleaning solution pure.And described separatory pipeline is to one end that the sidewall direction of liquid reserve tank extends and higher than the liquid level of chemical cleaning solution, can avoid because described separatory pipeline is immersed in the pollution caused in chemical cleaning solution.Therefore, the chemical cleaning solution being placed in described chemically-cleaning device is pure, cleaning performance good, and the semiconductor structure pattern through cleaning can keep good.
