In above-mentioned solution, have employed multiple piezoelectric with different natural frequencies, respectively from different letters The signal of telecommunication one_to_one corresponding that number source produces.So can avoid the signal of telecommunication frequency of the operating frequency due to piezoelectric and signal source Rate is inconsistent and produces energy loss.
Refer to Fig. 6 b, the another kind of ultrasound wave/megasonic frequency control unit structural principle of its display.As shown in Figure 6 b, Ultrasound wave/megasonic frequency control unit is provided with a converter 24-2 between signal source 23-2 and some piezoelectrics 14 With a channel to channel adapter 24-3.In this solution, use single signal source 23-2 and three there is different intrinsic frequency The piezoelectric P1-P3 of rate.The signal sent from signal source 23-2 first passes around converter 24-2, and converter can change signal The frequency of the signal of telecommunication that source sends, exports the signal of telecommunication of several different frequency, and the frequency of these signals of telecommunication is each with device end The natural frequency one_to_one corresponding of piezoelectric P1-P3.Connect between converter and different piezoelectrics and have channel to channel adapter 24-3, its effect is the frequency of the signal of telecommunication according to front end converter 24-2 output, opens accordingly and has identical natural frequency Piezoelectric P1 or P2 or the interface channel switch of P3, make ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave that ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave generating mechanism produces Frequency of vibration occurrence dynamics changes.
As preferably, converter change the period distances of signal frequency can be controlled in a few microsecond to hundreds of microsecond it Between, ensure that ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave that the signal of telecommunication that previous frequency is formed produces does not has time enough to complete bubble with this Grow up and rupture process.Similarly, channel to channel adapter is after converter completes a frequency transformation, it is also desirable to switch immediately To corresponding passage, namely require that converter and channel to channel adapter need to have interval switching time of same number level, ability It is effectively realized and dynamically changes the purpose cleaning ultrasound wave/megasonic frequency used.
Referring to Fig. 7 a-Fig. 7 e, Fig. 7 a-Fig. 7 e is the piezoelectric with different natural frequencies in the embodiment of the present invention Several integrated state schematic diagrams.The above-mentioned piezoelectric P1-P3 with different natural frequencies, at actual ultrasound wave/million sound Ripple cleans in device and combines, and needs to be integrated into the piezoelectric with different natural frequencies one entirety.Tool The Integration Mode of body can carry out various combination according to the shape of ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave cleaning device.Fig. 7 a-Fig. 7 e shows not Several concrete compound mode of same piezoelectric P1-P3, is respectively when the rectangle that is shaped as cleaning device body, square Shape, time circular or fan-shaped, the rectangle that piezoelectric P1-P3 has corresponding to after integrating, square, circular or fan-shaped Compound mode front sectional elevation.
Apparatus of the present invention are selectively removed portion of ultrasonic sound wave/megasonic energy, and its operation principle can be entered by Fig. 8 One step explanation.As shown in Figure 8, after piezoelectric 14 receives the signal of telecommunication, produce ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave vibrate, ultrasound wave/ Megasonic energy is conducted downwards to bottom quartz member 12 by coupling layer 20, and travel downward extremely quartzy micro-resonance further On chamber array 10.Ultrasound wave/megasonic energy is when quartz microresonator internal communication, and the direction of propagation is vertical with crystal column surface Ultrasound wave/megasonic energy B can arrive in the cleaning medicinal liquid layer 29 on wafer 30 surface smoothly, drives and cleans medicinal liquid vibration, real Now remove the purpose of pollutant.And the direction of propagation can be micro-common at quartz with crystal column surface off plumb ultrasound wave/megasonic energy A Shaking and refraction and reflection occur on the sidewall in chamber 10, in this process, part energy is consumed to heat energy or other form is released Put.After the repeatedly refraction on the sidewall at quartz microresonator and reflection, the direction of propagation surpasses with crystal column surface off plumb Sound wave/megasonic energy A is the most depleted, it is achieved only retain ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave energy that the direction of propagation is vertical with crystal column surface The purpose of amount B, thus can ensure that the energy of ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave does not results in figure in ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave cleaning process The damage of crystal column surface figure structure 30 '.
Therefore, the ultrasound wave/megasonic energy transferred out from the piezoelectric of ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave generating mechanism, through stone After the selective removal of English microresonator, by the lower end of the bar-shaped quartz construction cleaned in medicinal liquid on figure wafer of submerging, Can vertical conduction to figure crystal column surface, thus under the drive of spray arm, carry out ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave move cleaning.With Time, described ultrasound wave/megasonic frequency control unit is by using multiple signal sources to replace single signal source, or employing changes Become the signal frequency that single signal source sends, to form the signal of telecommunication of several different frequency, and the most corresponding one and its frequency The mode of the piezoelectric that rate is consistent, only makes the piezoelectric of a kind of natural frequency work in each moment, and at each piezoelectricity Switching at random between material, the ultrasound wave/megasonic frequency making ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave generating mechanism produce dynamically changes, so It is possible to prevent the generation of stable interference;Further, the frequency of sound wave produced during due to different piezoelectric work changes, its sound The wavelength of ripple also will change therewith, and the bubble that previous sound wave produces also is not reaching to the limit ruptured during growing up Time, the frequency of sound wave has switched, and new bubble produces in another position, and original bubble then will not be grown up further and break Split;In such cyclic process, along with being continually changing of frequency of sound wave, bubble is constantly be generated and disappears, but will not occur Rupturing, the cavitation effect being possible to prevent bubbles burst to produce causes the damage of crystal column surface fine pattern structure.
The corresponding process of device is cleaned as follows with combinations thereof formula multi-frequency ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave:
First ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave signal generator is connected, power amplifier, the external circuit such as impedance matching box and this is clear Cleaning device, sets ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave operating frequency and power;Set ultrasound wave/megasonic frequency control unit signalling channel Select the time interval of derailing switch switching, or the channel to channel adapter of the period distances/correspondence of converter change signal frequency Switch to interval switching time of respective channel.
Then setting spray arm swinging track, cleaning medicinal liquid flow, temperature, cleaning medicinal liquid conduit positions, scavenging period, cold But throughput, and the parameter such as the gap of this cleaning device and wafer, it is achieved equal at crystal column surface of ultrasound wave/megasonic energy Even covering.
Then run and clean menu, after piezoelectric receives the signal of telecommunication, high frequency telescopic shape change occurs, is formed ultrasonic Ripple/mega sonic wave vibration;This oscillation energy conducts to bottom of device quartz member down through by coupling layer;Ultrasound wave/million sound After wave energy is propagated via quartz microresonator, only remain ultrasound wave/mega sonic wave that the direction of propagation is vertical with crystal column surface Energy, and conduction is extremely cleaned in medicinal liquid layer further downward.
Now, in cleaning medicinal liquid, only exist the direction of propagation vertical with crystal column surface, namely with crystal column surface figure longitudinally The vibrational energy that direction is parallel.This energy drives and cleans liquid vibration, accelerates the pollutant between crystal column surface figure and departs from crystalline substance Circular surfaces and the process of outwards quality transmission, improve the removal efficiency of crystal column surface pollutant, shorten the cleaning time.With Time, after the propagation of quartz microresonator array on bottom of device quartz member, the direction of propagation and crystal column surface out of plumb Ultrasound wave/megasonic energy be removed.Therefore, cleaning in medicinal liquid layer do not exist for crystal column surface figure structure horizontal Shearing force, also eliminates the stable interference effect of sound wave simultaneously and makes the generation of cavitation erosion conscientiously be controlled, therefore can be effective Ground protection graphic structure, it is achieved the not damaged of figure wafer cleans.
Current monolithic cleaning equipment is mainly come by jet cleaning liquid on wafer (wafer) surface of high speed rotating Reach the purpose cleaned.In cleaning process, wafer is clamped by the multiple hold assemblies being arranged on circular card disc main body, folder Hold parts and hold wafer to carry out high speed rotating.Meanwhile, above wafer, cleaning equipment is additionally provided with spray arm, can pass through Spray arm is to crystal column surface jet cleaning medium.
In chemical liquid and ultra-pure water cleaning process, crystal column surface material is more susceptible to damage or some chemistry occur Reaction.Such as, in DHF cleaning, first pass through spray arm and spray DHF to crystal column surface, by the autoxidation of crystal column surface Layer erodes completely;Then crystal column surface is rinsed, by residual liquor and the product of crystal column surface by injection ultra-pure water Wash out;Finally, then by injection N2Crystal column surface has been dried whole technical process.In this process, wafer table The naked silicon materials in face are very easy to react with the oxygen in processing chamber, generate silicon dioxide, cause crystal column surface material Change, follow-up technique is impacted.Accordingly, it would be desirable in technical process, the oxygen content in whole chamber is entered Row controls.
On the other hand, at wafer N2In dry run, if technology controlling and process obtains bad, can occur at crystal column surface Watermark (washmarking) defect.The dominant mechanism that Watermark is formed is at N2In dry run, incomplete and residual because being dried Remaining in the water of crystal column surface, incorporate the SiO reacted and generate with oxygen2, and form H further2SiO3Or HSiO3-precipitation. After the water of crystal column surface volatilizees, these precipitations i.e. form the washmarking of flat condition.Additionally, in above-mentioned cleaning process, the most often Occurring there is the unseasoned phenomenon thoroughly of drop on crystal round fringes rib, this also result in certain impact for wafer cleaning quality. Accordingly, it would be desirable to drying process is optimized, it is achieved being completely dried of whole wafer scope.
Further improvement of the present invention point is the function realizing gas shield on the basis of figure wafer not damaged cleans. In technical process, utilize protective gas to form a gas blanket above wafer, protective gas can be nitrogen or The noble gases such as argon.Such advantage is: (1), in technical process, makes wafer and oxygen-barrier, prevents crystal column surface silicon material Expect oxidized;(2) in dry run, owing to wafer is completely under the covering of protective gas, when wafer high speed rotating, can Preferably to realize being dried of whole wafer scope, prevent the generation of washmarking defect, it is also possible to preferably realize crystal round fringes It is dried.
