Fig. 6 b is please referred to, shows another ultrasonic wave/megasonic frequency control unit structural principle.As shown in Figure 6 b, Ultrasonic wave/megasonic frequency control unit is provided with a frequency converter 24-2 between signal source 23-2 and several piezoelectric materials 14 With a channel to channel adapter 24-3.In this solution, there are different intrinsic frequencies using single signal source 23-2 and three The piezoelectric material P1-P3 of rate.The signal issued from signal source 23-2 first passes around frequency converter 24-2, and frequency converter can change signal The frequency for the electric signal that source issues, exports the electric signal of several different frequencies, the frequencies of these electric signals is each with device end The intrinsic frequency of piezoelectric material P1-P3 corresponds.Channel to channel adapter is connected between frequency converter and different piezoelectric materials 24-3, effect are according to the frequency of the electric signal of front end frequency converter 24-2 output, and accordingly opening has identical intrinsic frequency Piezoelectric material P1 or P2 or P3 interface channel switch, the ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave for generating ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave generating mechanism Dynamic change occurs for vibration frequency.
Preferably, frequency converter change signal frequency period distances can be controlled in several microseconds to several hundred a microseconds it Between, there is no time enough to complete bubble come the ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave for guaranteeing that the electric signal that previous frequency is formed generates with this Grow up and rupture process.Similarly, channel to channel adapter is after frequency converter completes a frequency transformation, it is also desirable to switch immediately To corresponding channel, namely the switching time interval for requiring frequency converter and channel to channel adapter to need that there is same number grade, ability It effectively realizes dynamic and changes the purpose for cleaning ultrasonic wave/megasonic frequency used.
Please referring to Fig. 7 a- Fig. 7 e, Fig. 7 a- Fig. 7 e is the piezoelectric material with different natural frequencies in the embodiment of the present invention Several integrated state schematic diagrames.The above-mentioned piezoelectric material P1-P3 with different natural frequencies, in actual ultrasonic wave/million sound It is combined in wave cleaning device, needs for the piezoelectric material with different natural frequencies to be integrated into an entirety.Tool The Integration Mode of body can carry out various combination according to ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave cleaning device shape.Fig. 7 a- Fig. 7 e is shown not Several specific combinations of same piezoelectric material P1-P3, respectively when the shape of cleaning device ontology is rectangle, pros Shape, when round or fan-shaped, piezoelectric material P1-P3 corresponding rectangle having after integrating, square, circle or fan-shaped Combination front cross-sectional view.
Apparatus of the present invention are selectively removed portion of ultrasonic sound wave/megasonic energy, working principle can by Fig. 8 come into One step explanation.As shown in figure 8, ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave oscillation is generated after piezoelectric material 14 receives electric signal, ultrasonic wave/ Megasonic energy is conducted to bottom quartz member 12 downwards by coupling layer 20, and further propagates to the micro- resonance of quartz downwards On chamber array 10.For ultrasonic wave/megasonic energy in quartzy microresonator internal communication, the direction of propagation is vertical with crystal column surface Ultrasonic wave/megasonic energy B can be reached smoothly in the cleaning medical fluid layer 29 on 30 surface of wafer, drive cleaning medical fluid oscillation, real Now remove the purpose of pollutant.And ultrasonic wave/megasonic energy A of the direction of propagation and crystal column surface out of plumb can be micro- total in quartz Refraction and reflection occurs on the side wall of vibration chamber 10, in this process, part energy is consumed to thermal energy or other forms are released It puts.After multiple refraction and reflection on the side wall in quartzy microresonator, the direction of propagation is super with crystal column surface out of plumb Sound wave/megasonic energy A is gradually depleted, and is realized and is only retained the direction of propagation ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave energy vertical with crystal column surface The purpose of B is measured, to can guarantee in ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave cleaning process, ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave energy not will cause figure The damage of crystal column surface figure structure 30 '.
Therefore, the ultrasonic wave/megasonic energy transferred out from ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave generating mechanism piezoelectric material, through stone After the selective removal of English microresonator, by submerging the lower end for cleaning the rodlike quartz construction in medical fluid on figure wafer, Can vertical conduction to figure crystal column surface, to carry out the mobile cleaning of ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave under the drive of spray arm.Together When, the ultrasonic wave/megasonic frequency control unit replaces single signal source by using multiple signal sources, or uses and change Become the signal frequency that single signal source issues, to form the electric signal of several different frequencies, and respectively corresponds one and its frequency The mode of the consistent piezoelectric material of rate only makes a kind of piezoelectric material of intrinsic frequency work at each moment, and in each piezoelectricity Switch at random between material, the ultrasonic wave/megasonic frequency dynamic change for generating ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave generating mechanism, in this way It can prevent from stablizing the generation interfered;Also, since the frequency of sound wave generated when the work of different piezoelectric materials changes, sound The wavelength of wave will also change therewith, and the limit of rupture has not been reached yet in the bubble that previous sound wave generates during growing up When, the frequency of sound wave has switched, and new bubble is generated in another position, and original bubble then further will not grow up and break It splits;In such cyclic process, with the continuous variation of frequency of sound wave, bubble is constantly be generated and disappears, but not occurs Rupture, the cavitation effect that can prevent bubbles burst from generating cause the damage of crystal column surface fine pattern structure.
Process corresponding with said combination formula multi-frequency ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave cleaning device is as follows:
Connection ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave signal generator, power amplifier, the external circuits such as impedance matching box are clear with this first Cleaning device sets ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave working frequency and power;Set ultrasonic wave/megasonic frequency control unit signal path Select the time interval of derailing switch switching or period distances/corresponding channel to channel adapter of frequency converter change signal frequency Switch to the switching time interval of respective channel.
Then spray arm swinging track is set, medicinal liquid flow, temperature are cleaned, cleans medical fluid conduit positions, scavenging period is cold But the parameters such as gap of throughput and the cleaning device and wafer realize ultrasonic wave/megasonic energy in the equal of crystal column surface Even covering.
Then operation cleaning menu after piezoelectric material receives electric signal, occurs high frequency telescopic deformation, forms ultrasound Wave/mega sonic wave oscillation;The oscillation energy is conducted via coupling layer to bottom of device quartz member downwards;Ultrasonic wave/million sound After wave energy is propagated via quartzy microresonator, the direction of propagation ultrasonic wave/mega sonic wave vertical with crystal column surface is only remained Energy, and further in conduction downwards to cleaning medical fluid layer.
At this point, it is vertical with crystal column surface to only exist the direction of propagation in cleaning medical fluid, namely longitudinal with crystal column surface figure The parallel vibrational energy in direction.The energy drives cleaning liquid vibration, and the pollutant accelerated between crystal column surface figure is detached from crystalline substance Circular surfaces and the process of outside mass transfer improve the removal efficiency of crystal column surface pollutant, shorten the cleaning process time.Together When, after the propagation of microresonator array quartzy on bottom of device quartz member, the direction of propagation and crystal column surface out of plumb Ultrasonic wave/megasonic energy be removed.Therefore, there is no the transverse directions for crystal column surface figure structure in cleaning medical fluid layer Shearing force, while also eliminating the stabilization interference effect of sound wave and controlling the generation of cavitation erosion conscientiously, therefore can be effective Graphic structure is protected on ground, realizes the not damaged cleaning of figure wafer.
Current monolithic cleaning equipment mainly by the surface high-speed rotating wafer (wafer) jet cleaning liquid come Achieve the purpose that cleaning.In the process of cleaning, wafer is by the multiple hold assemblies clamping being mounted on round chuck main body, folder Holding component holds wafer to carry out high speed rotation.Meanwhile in the top of 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 ultrapure water cleaning process, crystal column surface material is easier to be damaged or occur some chemistry Reaction.For example, first passing through spray arm in DHF cleaning process to crystal column surface and spraying DHF, by the autoxidation of crystal column surface Layer erodes completely;Then injection ultrapure water is rinsed crystal column surface, by the residual liquor and reaction product of crystal column surface It washes out;Finally, passing through injection N again2Crystal column surface is dried and completes entire 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 silica, lead to crystal column surface material It changes, subsequent technique is impacted.Therefore, it is necessary in technical process, to the oxygen content in entire chamber into Row control.
On the other hand, in wafer N2In drying process, if technology controlling and process obtain it is bad, can crystal column surface occur Watermark (washmarking) defect.The dominant mechanism that Watermark is formed is in N2In drying process, because drying is incomplete and residual It is remaining that the SiO for reacting and generating with oxygen has been incorporated in the water of crystal column surface2, and it is further formed H2SiO3Or HSiO3Precipitating. After the water volatilization of crystal column surface, these precipitatings form the washmarking of flat condition.In addition, in above-mentioned cleaning process, it is also frequent Occur having the unseasoned thorough phenomenon of drop on crystal round fringes rib, this also results in wafer cleaning quality certain influence. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize to drying process, being completely dried for whole wafer range is realized.
Further improvement of the present invention point is the function that gas shield is realized on the basis of the not damaged cleaning of figure wafer. In technical process, form a gas blanket above wafer using protective gas, protective gas can be nitrogen or The inert gases such as argon gas.The advantage that be: (1) in technical process, make wafer and oxygen-barrier, prevent crystal column surface silicon material Material is oxidized;It (2) in the drying process,, can when wafer high speed rotation since wafer is completely under the covering of protective gas Preferably to realize the drying of whole wafer range, the generation of washmarking defect is prevented, can also preferably realize crystal round fringes It is dry.
