Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor cleaning, in particular to a megasonic cleaning system for a large-size wafer.
Background
The ultrasonic cleaning technology is one of the most commonly used industrial cleaning technologies, and the traditional ultrasonic cleaning technology is to remove stains on the surface of an object by the cavitation generated in liquid by 20kHz-100kHz ultrasonic waves so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning. However, the ultrasonic cavitation is too strong, which can cause certain damage to the surface of an object, for example, in the cleaning of precision components such as semiconductor devices and optical precision components, the surface of the device is damaged by the traditional high-frequency ultrasonic cleaning because the surface of the device has a microstructure. In addition, the higher the ultrasonic frequency is, the smaller the particle size of the impurity particles to be cleaned is, and the traditional ultrasonic cleaning with the highest frequency of 100kHz is difficult to clean the impurity particles below 1 micron.
When the ultrasonic wave with the frequency higher than 400kHz is transmitted in liquid, an extremely-thin acoustic boundary layer with large velocity gradient can be formed near the surface of a cleaned part, the impurity particles fall off from the surface of the part under the vibration action of megahertz frequency of the liquid, micron and submicron impurity particles on the surface of the part can be cleaned, and the ultra-precise cleaning process is realized. In addition, the surface of the cleaned part is not damaged due to the extremely low cavitation effect in the high-frequency ultrasonic cleaning process, and the phenomena of corrosion or damage and the like caused after the precise component is cleaned can be effectively solved. Therefore, the megasonic device capable of emitting megasonic level is widely applied to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and can play an important role in key processes such as chemical mechanical polishing, developing, glue removing, metal stripping, etching and the like besides the cleaning function.
The existing megasonic cleaning technology is mainly divided into a groove type, a spray type and a laminating type. The tank type is similar to the traditional ultrasonic cleaning, the megasonic transmitting device is arranged at the bottom of the water tank, and the wafer is placed in the water tank during cleaning. The defects of the mode are that the megasonic field received by the surface of the wafer is gradually weakened from bottom to top, the distribution is not uniform, the cleaning effect is influenced, and in addition, the cleaning solution is easy to cause secondary pollution in the groove. The spray type is that the megasonic transmitter is made into a nozzle form, megasonic falls onto a wafer along with water flow, and the device has higher sound transmission efficiency compared with a groove type megasonic device arranged at the bottom of a processing groove and can avoid secondary pollution. But the defect is that the megasonic generator is far away from the wafer, the sound energy transmission efficiency is still damaged, and the megasonic generator can work only by large-flow cleaning liquid, so that the cleaning liquid is wasted greatly.
The fitting method is currently the most optimized method in the prior art, and referring to fig. 1, the megasonic transmitter 2 'is usually close to the surface of the wafer 1' with a gap between them. In the cleaning process, the megasonic device is fixed, the wafer rotates, and the cleaning liquid is continuously conveyed to the wafer by the liquid supply device 3'. The megasonic transmitting surface is close to the wafer, so the energy transmission efficiency is high, the power density of the megasonic transmitting surface can be achieved only by 2W/cm2, and the spray type and groove type megasonic devices usually need 5W/cm 2 or even higher power density. In addition, the laminating type cleaning machine can complete cleaning only by a small amount of cleaning liquid, and compared with the other two modes, the adhering type cleaning machine can greatly save the use of the cleaning liquid. Because the linear velocity of the wafer is linearly increased from the center to the edge of the wafer, in order to ensure that the sound field obtained by the whole wafer surface is uniform when the wafer rotates, the megasonic transmitting device can be realized by a megasonic device which is made into a fan-shaped structure, so that the megasonic energy received from the edge to the center of the circle is linearly weakened when the wafer rotates, and the sound energy with uniform front surface is obtained.
However, the defect of this technique is that the size of the megasonic transmitting surface needs to be matched with the size of the wafer, which requires that the size of the piezoelectric ceramic piece in the megasonic transmitting device is matched with the size of the wafer to be cleaned, and the larger the wafer is, the larger the piezoelectric ceramic piece is required to be. For example, a 12-inch wafer is generally manufactured by a traditional method through a sector piezoelectric ceramic plate with a radius of 6 inches and a circle center angle of more than 30 degrees, and the manufacturing difficulty of the piezoelectric ceramic plate with the size is very high, so that the piezoelectric ceramic plate can be split into two ceramic plates to be spliced in practical application, and a seam exists, so that an uneven sound field is caused. With the development of technology, the size of the wafer is still enlarged, such as 14, 16, 20 inches or more, which makes the method more difficult to be realized by a single fan-shaped ceramic wafer, and the method needs to be implemented by splicing a plurality of ceramic wafers, and the more the splices are, the more the seams are, the worse the uniformity of the emitted acoustic energy field is. Or the megasonic cleaning device can only be manufactured by a small ceramic wafer, usually in a circular shape, and then the megasonic cleaning device moves to scan to realize whole surface treatment similar to a spraying type megasonic cleaning device, but a megasonic sound field with a uniform whole surface can not be obtained when the wafer rotates, and the cleaning efficiency of the megasonic cleaning device with a small use area is also reduced.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
A megasonic cleaning system for large wafers in accordance with embodiments of the invention is described below with reference to fig. 2-15.
Specifically, the megasonic cleaning system for large-sized wafers comprises a base body 1, a rotating base 2, a first driving mechanism 4, a transducer, a second driving mechanism 17, a liquid conveying mechanism 6 and a control assembly.
Referring to fig. 1, the base 1 may be configured as a housing structure.
The rotating base 2 is rotatably arranged on the base body 1. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the seat body 1 is provided with a bearing hole, the bearing hole is provided with a bearing, and the rotating seat 2 is sleeved in the bearing so as to be rotatably connected with the seat body 1 through the bearing.
The oscillator 15 is connected to the rotary base and rotates with the rotary base. For example, the oscillator 15 includes, but is not limited to, being connected to the rotating base by means of a screw connection. For example, the oscillator may be quartz, sapphire, or alumina.
The first driving mechanism 4 is used for being in transmission connection with the rotating seat 2 and driving the rotating seat 2 to rotate.
For example, the first drive mechanism 4 may include a motor. The motor is installed on pedestal 1 to the cover is equipped with drive gear on the output shaft of motor, rotates and is provided with driven gear 3 with drive gear engaged with on the seat 2, and the motor passes through gear drive's mode drive and rotates seat 2 and rotate.
The transducer means is for converting electrical energy into acoustic energy and is connected to the oscillator 15 for rotation with the oscillator 15.
For example, the transducer means includes, but is not limited to, an adhesive bond with the oscillator 15 to transmit acoustic energy to the oscillator 15, so that the oscillator vibrates to generate ultrasonic waves or megasonic waves, thereby cleaning the wafer.
The second driving mechanism 17 is used for connecting with the first end face of the wafer and driving the wafer to rotate. The second drive mechanism 17 is arranged opposite the oscillator 15 so that the second end face of the wafer, i.e. the face to be cleaned, faces the oscillator and is opposite the path of travel of the transducer means.
Further, referring to fig. 6, 9 and 12, the center of the wafer 5 is opposite to the track of the transducer.
Alternatively, the second driving mechanism 17 may include a motor and a suction cup. The sucking disc is installed on the output shaft of motor and is used for adsorbing wafer 5, and motor drive sucking disc drives wafer 5 and rotates.
The liquid delivery mechanism 6 is provided with a liquid discharge port for discharging the cleaning liquid. The liquid discharge port of the liquid transport mechanism 6 faces the oscillator. The cleaning liquid is able to transmit the acoustic energy emitted by the oscillator to the surface of the wafer on the one hand and to wash away impurities falling from the surface of the wafer 5 on the other hand.
For example, the liquid delivery mechanism 6 may include a liquid pump and piping. A liquid pump draws cleaning liquid and drives the cleaning liquid through a conduit to the oscillator surface.
The control assembly is coupled to the transducer assembly and is configured to control the amount of acoustic energy emitted by the transducer assembly.
When the energy conversion device runs along the periphery of the wafer to the circle center, the control assembly controls the acoustic energy emitted by the energy conversion device to gradually decrease, and/or when the energy conversion device runs along the circle center of the wafer to the periphery side, the control assembly controls the acoustic energy emitted by the energy conversion device to gradually increase.
In the megasonic cleaning system for the large-size wafer in the embodiment of the invention, the first driving mechanism 4 drives the rotating base 2 to rotate, so that the running track of the energy conversion device passes through the surface to be cleaned of the wafer 5, and the second driving mechanism 17 drives the wafer 5 to rotate to be matched with the first driving mechanism 4, so that the energy conversion device can scan the whole surface to be cleaned of the wafer 5. Thus, by scanning the wafer 5 in a rotating and moving manner, the size of the transducer device does not need to match the size of the wafer 5, thereby reducing the difficulty in manufacturing the piezoelectric ceramic plate 19 in the transducer device.
Meanwhile, in the megasonic cleaning system for large-sized wafers in the embodiment of the invention, the rotating base 2 drives the energy conversion device to rotate in the process of cleaning the wafer 5, and the second driving mechanism 17 drives the wafer 5 to rotate. When the transduction device runs to the outer peripheral side of the wafer 5, the linear velocity of the outer peripheral side of the wafer 5 is high, and the higher sound energy is needed for cleaning, at the moment, the sound energy emitted by the transduction device is controlled by the control assembly to be increased, when the transduction device runs to the circle center of the wafer 5, the linear velocity of the circle center of the wafer 5 is low, and the high sound energy is not needed for cleaning, at the moment, the sound energy emitted by the transduction device is controlled by the control assembly to be reduced, so that the sound energy received by the surface to be cleaned of the wafer 5 is uniform, the cleaning effect of the wafer 5 is improved, the damage of the local part of the wafer 5 due to the excessive energy is avoided, and meanwhile, the energy can be saved.
As shown in fig. 2, the shaded portion in the figure represents a transducer device with a fan-shaped structure in the prior art, and the megasonic cleaning system for a large-sized wafer in the embodiment of the invention controls the energy emitted by the transducer device through the control assembly, so that the same effect as the transducer device with a fan-shaped structure in the prior art, that is, the effect of gradually weakening the sonic energy in the direction from the outer periphery of the wafer 5 to the center of the circle, can be achieved.
In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the control assembly comprises a first energy converter 7 capable of converting electrical energy into acoustic energy and a second energy converter 8 capable of converting acoustic energy into electrical energy.
The first energy converter 7 comprises an acoustic wave emitting portion and the second energy converter 8 comprises an acoustic wave receiving portion. The first energy converter 7 is disposed on the base 1, and the second energy converter 8 is disposed on the rotating base 2 and electrically connected to the energy conversion device. When the rotating seat rotates, the sound wave receiving part and the sound wave transmitting part can be switched between a relative state and a staggered state.
The overlapping range of the sound wave emitting part and the sound wave receiving part is gradually reduced when the energy conversion device runs along the periphery of the wafer 5 to the circle center, and/or the overlapping range of the sound wave emitting part and the sound wave receiving part is gradually increased when the energy conversion device runs along the circle center of the wafer 5 to the periphery.
When the overlapping range of the sound wave emitting part of the first energy converter 7 and the sound wave receiving part of the second energy converter 8 is increased, the second energy converter 8 can receive more energy and transmit the energy to the energy conversion device, so that the energy conversion device can generate stronger sound energy. When the overlapping range of the acoustic wave emitting part of the first energy converter 7 and the acoustic wave receiving part of the second energy converter 8 is reduced, the energy received by the second energy converter 8 is reduced, so that the acoustic energy generated by the transducer device is reduced.
With the arrangement, the size of the sound energy generated by the energy conversion device can be controlled through the change of the overlapping area between the sound wave transmitting part of the first energy converter 7 and the sound wave receiving part of the second energy converter, namely, the sound energy transmitted by the energy conversion device can be adjusted through a mechanical and circuit structure, and the structure is more stable and reliable. Furthermore, since no connection line is required between the first energy converter 7 and the second energy converter 8, the second energy converter is not restricted by the connection line when rotating with the rotating base 2.
In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the base body 1 is provided with a cavity structure 9 into which the first end of the rotating base 2 extends, and the cavity structure 9 is used for accommodating a conducting medium.
The first energy converter 7 is arranged within the cavity structure 9.
The second energy converter 8 is arranged at a first end of the rotatable seat 2.
The conductive medium includes, but is not limited to, water.
With this arrangement, the first energy converter 7 can transfer energy to the second energy converter 8 through the conductive medium, thereby reducing energy loss and improving energy transmission efficiency.
Optionally, the cavity structure 9 is provided with a liquid inlet for the conduction medium to enter and a liquid outlet for the conduction medium to exit.
Referring to fig. 4-7, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, the first energy converter 7 comprises a plurality of acoustic wave emitting portions distributed in sequence along the circumferential direction of the rotation axis of the rotating bed 2.
The second energy converter 8 includes a plurality of sound wave receiving portions that are sequentially distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotation axis of the rotary holder 2.
The number of the second driving mechanisms is multiple. The number of the sound wave transmitting parts, the number of the sound wave receiving parts and the number of the energy conversion devices are the same as the number of the second driving mechanisms.
And a spacing space is arranged between any two adjacent sound wave transmitting parts.
Referring to fig. 7, when the transducer device is operated to face the center of the wafer 5, the acoustic wave receiving portion faces the space between the two acoustic wave transmitters, and when the transducer device is operated to face the outer peripheral side of the wafer 5, the acoustic wave receiving portion faces the acoustic wave transmitting portion.
Specifically, referring to fig. 6, the second energy converter includes a piezoceramic sheet 19, a second electrode 11 and a circular electrode 20. A plurality of second electrodes 11 in a fan-shaped structure are arranged on the first end surface of the piezoelectric ceramic piece 19, and a space is arranged between any two adjacent second electrodes 11. The second end face of the piezoelectric ceramic piece 19 is provided with a circular electrode 20. The portion of the piezoelectric ceramic plate 19 provided with the second electrode 11 constitutes the above-described acoustic wave receiving portion.
Further, as shown in fig. 6, one ends of the second electrodes 11 close to the outer peripheral side of the piezoelectric ceramic plate 19 are connected to each other and form a covered edge, and the covered edge is folded over the second end face of the piezoelectric ceramic plate 19, so that the leads of the second electrodes 11 and the circular electrodes 20 are both disposed on the second end face, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty.
The piezoelectric ceramic plate 19 has a piezoelectric effect, and when receiving sound energy, a current is generated between electrodes on two end faces of the piezoelectric ceramic plate 19, or when a changing current is applied to the electrodes on the two end faces, the piezoelectric ceramic plate 19 vibrates. The piezoelectric ceramic plates described herein all perform acousto-electric conversion based on this principle, and other parts are not described again.
Referring to fig. 5, the first energy converter 7 and the second energy converter 8 have the same structure, and the first energy converter 7 includes a piezoelectric ceramic plate 19, a first electrode 10 and a circular electrode 20. The first end face of the piezoelectric ceramic piece 19 is provided with a plurality of first electrodes 10 in a fan-shaped structure, and a space is arranged between any two adjacent first electrodes 10. The second end face of the piezoelectric ceramic plate 19 is provided with a circular electrode 20. The portion of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 19 provided with the first electrode 10 constitutes the above-described acoustic wave emitting portion. First ends of the first electrodes 10 close to the outer peripheral side of the piezoelectric ceramic plate 19 are connected with each other to form a wrapping edge, and are folded over on a second end face of the piezoelectric ceramic plate 19.
In use, the first end face of the first energy converter 7 is arranged opposite the first end face of the second energy converter 8. The output of the sonic power source, e.g. a megasonic power source, is connected to the first electrode 10 and the circular electrode 20 of the first energy converter 7, respectively, so that the megasonic power source can deliver electrical energy at megasonic frequencies to the first energy converter 7. The first energy converter 7 converts the electric energy into the sound energy, the sound energy is emitted from the sound wave emitting part and is transmitted to the second energy converter 8 through a conducting medium, the second energy converter 8 receives the sound energy through the sound wave receiving part and converts the sound energy into the electric energy, the electric energy is transmitted to the megasonic emitter through the conducting wire 12, and the megasonic emitter emits the megasonic sound energy to the surface of the wafer 5 to realize cleaning.
As shown in fig. 6, when the first electrode 10 of the first energy converter 7 is opposite to the second electrode 11 of the second energy converter 8, the second energy converter 8 can receive more acoustic energy, and the current generated by the second energy converter 8 is larger, so that the energy conversion device generates higher energy output. When the second energy transforming second electrode 11 is opposite to the space between the two first electrodes 10, the second energy converter 8 receives less acoustic energy from the first energy converter 7 and the second energy converter 8 generates less current, so that the energy transforming device generates a lower energy output.
Further, the number of the second driving mechanisms is plural, so that the number of the wafers 5 can be set to be plural, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the large-sized wafer cleaning system. The number of the transducer devices is the same as that of the wafer 5, and each transducer device is connected in parallel between the second electrode 11 of the second energy converter 8 and the circular electrode 20 of the second energy converter 8 through the lead 12.
