Referring to fig. 1 to 10, an embodiment of a moisturizing device for a glue spreading nozzle is disclosed. This spin coating nozzle moisturizing device is at spin coating nozzle that spin coating equipment set up after the playback, to spin coating nozzle moisturize, wash and drying process, perhaps, also can only carry out the moisturizing process to spin coating nozzle after the playback to avoid because the condition emergence of spin coating nozzle that solvent evaporation in the photoetching glue leads to takes place the solidification and the even nozzle of jam takes place to take place.
The rotatable glue homogenizing nozzle of the glue homogenizing equipment is integrally and vertically arranged in the block 11, and the vertically arranged glue homogenizing nozzle 111 and the glue homogenizing nozzle 112 are arranged in the block 11. The spin coater nozzle 111 and the spin coater nozzle 112 are hereinafter collectively referred to as "spin coater nozzle". The block 11 is composed of an upper block 101 and a lower block 102 forming an annular step. The glue spreading nozzle 111 and the glue spreading nozzle 112 integrally extend over the lower end surface of the lower block 102 in the vertical direction, and the insertion hole 150 in fig. 7 is integrally shielded by the lower block 102, so that a moisturizing atmosphere full of moisturizing gas formed by volatilization of the moisturizing liquid is formed by the block 11 together with the cover 10 and the case 20, the moisturizing atmosphere is formed by the moisturizing vapor formed by volatilization of the moisturizing liquid, and the glue spreading nozzle is moisturized by the moisturizing atmosphere.
In this embodiment, the glue spreading nozzle moisturizing device includes: a cover body 10, a box body 20 with a hollow structure arranged below the cover body 10, an inserting hole 150 for vertically inserting the glue homogenizing nozzle is formed on the cover body 10. The box body 20 is internally provided with an overflow plate 202 which is vertically arranged, so that the inner cavity of the box body 20 is divided into a liquid storage cavity 21 and a moisturizing cavity 22 through the overflow plate 202, and the side part of the box body 20 is provided with a first through hole 215 for moisturizing liquid to flow into the liquid storage cavity 21. The excessive moisturizing liquid in the liquid storage cavity 21 is higher than the lowest point of the overflow plate 202, and then overflows into the liquid storage cavity 21, and the overflowing moisturizing liquid is discharged through the waste discharge hole 23, the fourth through hole 331 and the waste liquid discharge device 40.
The glue spreading nozzle is inserted into the rectangular insertion hole 150 (formed along the top view of the cover 10 in fig. 7) to close the moisturizing chamber 22 and the liquid storage chamber 21, and the height of the first through hole 215 in the vertical direction is above the highest liquid level formed by the moisturizing liquid (e.g., acetone) in the liquid storage chamber 21. Acetone is used as an example of the humectant, and other organic solvents having similar chemical properties to acetone (i.e., high volatility at room temperature) may also be used. The box body 20 comprises a bottom plate forming a row of waste holes 23 and four enclosing plates 201 which are vertically arranged and enclosed end to end, and the tops of the enclosing plates 201 form an opening. The cover plate 10 is screwed and fixed by four screws which continuously penetrate through the cover plate 10 and are screwed into four blind holes with internal threads which are concavely arranged on the edge opening at the top of the surrounding plate 201.
Referring to fig. 2 and 10, a first connector 214 communicating with the first through hole 215 is provided at an outer side of the case 20, and the first connector 214 is connected to a plant system or a moisturizing liquid supply tank (not shown) through a moisturizing liquid delivery pipe. The cover 10 is provided with a first contact 214 fitted into the first through hole 215, a second contact 113 fitted into the second through hole 13, and a third contact 114 fitted into the third through hole 14. The cover body 10 forms an accommodating cavity 100 for accommodating the glue homogenizing nozzle, the accommodating cavity 100 is in a flat cubic structure and is vertically arranged, the accommodating cavity 100 is formed above the moisturizing cavity 22 and is communicated with the moisturizing cavity 22, and the volume of the accommodating cavity 100 is smaller than that of the moisturizing cavity 22. Generally, the glue spreading nozzle is only inserted into the receiving cavity 100 in the vertical direction, and the bottom ends 111a and 112a of the glue spreading nozzle are ensured to be positioned in the receiving cavity 100. Since the volume of the accommodating chamber 100 is smaller than that of the moisturizing chamber 22, the delivery of the moisturizing liquid into the moisturizing chamber 22 can be stopped by a small amount of the moisturizing liquid stored in the liquid storage chamber 21. Meanwhile, since the housing chamber 100 is located above the moisture-preserving chamber 22 and the volume of the housing chamber 100 is much smaller than the volume of the moisture-preserving chamber 22, after the spin coating nozzle is inserted into the cover 10 through the insertion hole 150, the two spin coating nozzles can be in a region (i.e., the housing chamber 100) where the concentration of the moisture-preserving liquid vapor formed by the moisture-preserving liquid is higher, so as to improve the moisture-preserving effect of the moisture-preserving liquid vapor formed by volatilization of the moisture-preserving liquid on the spin coating nozzle, thereby preventing the bottom ends 111a and 112a of the spin coating nozzle from curing the photoresist, ensuring that the spin coating nozzle repeatedly sprays the photoresist on the surface of the wafer, and the photoresist is flatly coated on the surface of the wafer to form a layer of photoresist film with uniform thickness during the rotation of the wafer.
For example, in the present embodiment, referring to fig. 5 and fig. 6, the cover body 10 forms an annular air channel 130 and an annular liquid channel 140, the circumferential side wall of the accommodating cavity 100 is provided with a plurality of annularly arranged air injection holes 132 and a plurality of annularly arranged liquid injection holes 142, the air injection holes 132 are communicated with the annular air channel 130, the liquid injection holes 142 are communicated with the annular liquid channel 140, the annular air channel 130 forms a second through hole 13 extending to the outside of the cover body 10, and the annular liquid channel 140 forms a third through hole 14 extending to the outside of the cover body 10. The gas ejection holes 132 and the liquid ejection holes 142 penetrate the circumferential side wall 131 of the housing chamber 100 in a direction facing the housing chamber 100. The gas injection holes 132 and the liquid injection holes 142 are symmetrically arranged and formed at both sides of the receiving cavity 100. The cap body 10 forms an air injection passage 133 obliquely arranged and connecting the annular air passage 130 and the air injection hole 132, and the cap body 10 forms a liquid injection passage 143 horizontally arranged and connecting the annular liquid passage 140 and the liquid injection hole 142. The liquid ejecting passage 143 is located at the end of the receiving cavity 100 to form a circular liquid ejecting hole 142. The gas injection channel 133 is located at the end of the receiving chamber 100 to form a circular gas injection hole 132. Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the lowest points of the liquid spraying holes 142 and the liquid spraying channels 143 are higher than the bottom surface of the annular liquid path 140, so that a small amount of moisturizing liquid is stored in the annular area of the annular liquid path 140 located below the lowest points of the liquid spraying holes 142 and the liquid spraying channels 143, and moisturizing gas generated by volatilization of the moisturizing liquid penetrates through the liquid spraying channels 143 and the liquid spraying holes 142 to form a moisturizing atmosphere in the accommodating cavity 100, thereby further achieving the moisturizing effect of the moisturizing device for the glue homogenizing nozzle.
First connector 214 is used for delivering the moisturizing liquid into reservoir 21, and the moisturizing liquid can be filled or partially filled into reservoir 21. The second joint 113 is connected to the nitrogen gas supply system through a pipe (not shown), the third joint 114 is connected to the pure water supply system or the moisturizing liquid supply system through a pipe (not shown), and under the control of the solenoid valve, a supply line of the cleaning liquid is first conducted to introduce the cleaning liquid from the third joint 114 to the annular liquid path 140, so as to spray a jet of pure water or moisturizing liquid (i.e., spray the cleaning liquid) to the spin coater nozzle through the plurality of liquid spray holes 142 located below, so as to perform a cleaning operation on the spin coater nozzle. Therefore, the cleaning liquid in the embodiment includes pure water or a moisturizing liquid. The cleaning liquid performing the cleaning operation is discharged sequentially through the waste discharge hole 23, the fourth through hole 331 and the waste liquid discharge device 40, and is finally discharged from the waste discharge pipe 42 to a waste liquid tank (not shown) to be stored. After the cleaning is finished, the supply of the cleaning solution is closed, and the solenoid valve in the nitrogen gas supply line is opened, so that nitrogen gas is introduced into the annular gas path 130 to perform a drying operation on the spin coating nozzle through the plurality of gas injection holes 132 located above. In particular, in the embodiment, after the drying process is completed, since part of the moisturizing liquid is still remained in the liquid spraying holes 142, the part of the moisturizing liquid remained at the liquid spraying holes 142 can be volatilized to form a moisturizing atmosphere having a moisturizing effect on the spin coater, and the moisturizing atmospheres formed by volatilization of the moisturizing liquid stored in the liquid storage chamber 21 are overlapped, so that a double moisturizing effect is performed on part of the photoresist remained in the glue spouting holes at the bottoms of the bottom ends 111a and 112a of the spin coater, and the possibility of curing of the spin coater is further prevented.
In this embodiment, two rows of air injection channels 133 are arranged in parallel and form 45 degrees downward sloping arrangement, thereby forming two rows of downward convergent air jets, thereby realizing the operation of blowing partial particles of the possible adhesion outside the glue homogenizing nozzle, and blow the particles to drop down to the moisturizing chamber 22, and finally discharge from the waste discharge hole 23, the fourth through hole 331 and the waste liquid discharging device 40, and effectively prevent blowing falling particles from dropping in the liquid storage chamber 21, thereby ensuring the purity and cleanliness of the moisturizing liquid stored in the liquid storage chamber 21.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3 and 10, the spin coating developing and moisturizing device further includes: a bracket 30 enclosing the box body 20, wherein the bracket 30 and the box body 20 are movably embedded. As shown in fig. 9, the bottom of the moisturizing chamber 22 forms a waste discharge hole 23 through which the moisturizing liquid is discharged from the case 20. This even nozzle moisturizing device of gluing still includes: the waste liquid discharging device 40 is disposed below the bracket 30, the bracket 30 includes a supporting side plate 31 and a supporting bottom plate 33 partially enclosing the bottom of the box body 20, and a mounting block 32 oppositely disposed on the outer side of the supporting side plate 31, the supporting bottom plate 33 forms a fourth through hole 331 communicating with the waste discharging hole 23. Specifically, the waste liquid discharge device 40 includes a waste joint 41 screwed into the fourth through hole 331, and a waste pipe 42 connected to the waste joint 41 and disposed vertically. The bracket 30 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of a glue homogenizing chamber cover (not shown) contained in the glue homogenizing device through two mounting blocks 32 arranged on the outer side wall of the bracket, and is fixedly connected with a main body frame (not shown) of the glue homogenizing device. Meanwhile, the bottom plate forming the row of waste holes 23 forms a step, and is embedded into the step formed at the top of the bearing side plate 31, and the box body 20 and the bracket 30 are connected in a clamping manner, so that the movable connection between the bracket 30 and the box body 20 is realized.
