Description

Wafer drying and lifting method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit chip manufacturing, and particularly relates to a wafer drying and lifting method.
Background
Chemical mechanical planarization is one of the integrated circuit processes. With the development of technology, the requirements for the processing technology will be increased. Meanwhile, chemical mechanical planarization belongs to a wet process in the wafer processing process, and a large amount of grinding liquid and different chemical reagents are used in the whole process, so that the wafer needs to be cleaned and dried at the end of the process to remove particles attached to the surface of the wafer, and the wafer can enter the next process.
In the existing integrated circuit devices, the conventional drying method is spin-drying, which removes water attached to the surface of the wafer using centrifugal force generated at a high rotational speed. However, due to the difference of the materials of the wafers and the influence of the surface patterns, the drying method sometimes causes water stain residues, so that the amount of particles of the whole wafer exceeds the standard.
One new drying method that has emerged in recent years is the use of the marangoni effect. The method removes water attached to the surface of the wafer by utilizing the surface tension gradient difference, and can effectively reduce the possibility of water stain residues and particles attached to the surface of the wafer. The method needs to lift the wafer out of the liquid level by supporting the bottom of the wafer, and the contact area between the bottom of the wafer and the wafer is as small as possible in order to ensure that no water stain remains on the bottom of the wafer; in addition, the support is soaked in water for a long time, and plastic materials are usually selected for ensuring corrosion resistance. The prior method has the advantages that the support bottom plays a supporting role in the process from the immersion of the wafer in the bottom of the liquid to the complete exposure of the liquid level, the contact area between the support bottom and the bottom of the wafer is small, the pressure is high, the support bottom is more stressed and is easy to wear, the material consumption is required to be frequently replaced, and otherwise, the precision of the lifting position is reduced; meanwhile, the technical process needs to ensure the level of the liquid level, the lifting force of an electric cylinder at the back of the box body is transmitted to the wafer through a magnet at present, the supporting base and the box body are extruded and slide with the box body under the action of the magnet, the lifting process has high resistance, the magnetic force is in non-rigid transmission, the risk of stalling or even falling sheets is caused, the abrasion of the supporting base and the inner wall of the box body can be caused in the sliding process, the transmission precision and the service life are influenced, and impurity particles can be generated; more importantly, under the actual working condition, the machine needs to ensure long-time stable operation, frequently changes the bottom supporting part and corrects the position, so that the maintenance time of the machine is greatly increased, the operation efficiency of the machine at the front and back channels of the production line is influenced, and huge economic loss is caused.

The crescent top can prevent wafer 1 landing, guarantees the firm bearing effect of support base 33 to wafer 1.
The drying box body 4 is filled with ultra-clean water with a level 43 for realizing the marangoni effect, and the wafer 1 is completely immersed below the level 43 in the initial stage. At this time, the wafer 1 is fixed by the two side supporting mechanisms 2 to avoid falling off the wafer, and the top part of the bottom support 33 of the middle lifting mechanism 3 is lower than the lower edge of the wafer 1 and is not contacted with the wafer 1, as shown in fig. 1-3. I.e. the support mechanisms 2 on the two sides are stressed and the middle lifting mechanism 3 is not stressed in the initial stage.
In the first half of the lifting process of the wafer 1, before the two side supporting mechanisms 2 reach the upper limit (the upper limit is below the liquid level), the lifting process of the wafer 1 is driven by the two side supporting mechanisms 2, the middle lifting mechanism 3 also moves upwards at the same time, and the top of the supporting base 33 is always lower than the lower edge of the wafer 1 and is not in contact with the wafer 1, as shown in fig. 4 and 5. Of course, the lifting mechanism 3 may also be stationary.
In the latter half of the lifting process of the wafer 1, the two side supporting mechanisms 2 stop lifting after reaching the upper limit, and the middle lifting mechanism 3 lifts the wafer 1 upwards or continuously upwards, at this time, the wafer 1 is driven by the middle lifting mechanism 3, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, until reaching the set height completely beyond the liquid level 43.
The wafer drying and lifting method comprises the following steps of:
as shown in fig. 16, in order to ensure the drying effect while avoiding the particle impurities from remaining on the surface of the wafer 1, the wafer 1 is lifted continuously.
Firstly, the drying box 4 is filled with liquid, the wafer 1 is positioned in the liquid level, the supporting mechanism 2 drives the wafer 1 to rise at two sides of the wafer 1, the rising speed of the wafer 1 is V1, the lifting mechanism 3 is positioned below the wafer 1 and is not in contact with the wafer 1, in other words, the wafer 1, the supporting mechanism 2 and the lifting mechanism 3 are all positioned in the liquid level, only the supporting mechanism 2 plays a role of driving the wafer 1 to rise, the lifting mechanism 3 does not play a role of driving the wafer 1 to rise, and the rising speed is V2, so that V2 is less than or equal to V1.
Specifically, in this embodiment, v1=v2, only the two side supporting mechanisms 2 lift the wafer 1, and during the lifting process of the wafer 1, the middle lifting mechanism 3 is not in contact with the bottom of the wafer 1 all the time, and the relative position remains unchanged.
Secondly, the top of the wafer 1 approaches the liquid level, but does not extend out of the liquid level yet, the supporting mechanism 2 breaks away from the wafer 1 in a state of keeping the wafer 1 rising, and the lifting mechanism 3 rises to contact with the wafer 1, so that the wafer 1 is continuously pushed upwards to extend out of the liquid level; here, even if the supporting mechanism 2 is separated from the wafer 1, the wafer 1 does not stop rising during the process of the connection between the supporting mechanism 2 and the lifting mechanism 3, and the wafer 1 is in a continuously rising state; specifically, when the rising speed of the supporting mechanism 2 is V11 and the rising speed of the lifting mechanism 3 is V21 when the supporting mechanism 2 is separated from the wafer 1, the speed difference between the V21 and the V11 is more than or equal to 5mm/s. The speed difference between V21 and V11 can be flexibly adjusted according to specific working conditions, so long as the speed difference is more than or equal to 5mm/s.
More specifically, during the detachment of the support mechanism 2 from the wafer 1, the rising speed of the support mechanism 2 on both sides is reduced to a stop just before the support mechanism 2 on both sides reaches the upper limit (the upper limit is located below the liquid surface 43), thereby achieving the detachment of the wafer 1.
In this embodiment, the supporting mechanism 2 drives the wafer 1 to rise includes a first stage i and a second stage ii, and the supporting mechanism 2 drives the wafer 1 to rise at a constant speed in the first stage i, at this time, the wafer 1 is completely immersed below the liquid level 43 until the wafer starts to be exposed out of the water surface; in the second stage II, the supporting mechanism 2 drives the wafer 1 to rise in a decelerating manner, the wafer 1 gradually exposes to the water surface, and in order to ensure the drying effect of the wafer 1, the rising speed gradually decreases as the time of exposing to the water surface increases, as shown in FIG. 17. The speed of the middle lifting mechanism 3 is set according to the actual working condition requirement in the second stage II, so that the middle lifting mechanism can be contacted with the bottom of the wafer 1 when the supporting mechanisms 2 on two sides are completely stopped, the wafer 1 is further pushed to rise continuously, and the rising process of the wafer 1 is guaranteed to be free of stop. The second stage II speed is characterized by: the speed of the two side supporting mechanisms 2 is always smaller than that of the middle lifting mechanism 3, namely V21 is larger than or equal to V11, and V21-V11 is larger than or equal to 5mm/s.
In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the wafer 1 to extend out of the liquid surface, and the wafer 1 is only supported by the support base 33, which includes a third stage iii in which the lifting speed of the wafer 1 driven by the lifting mechanism 3 is reduced, and a fourth stage iv in which the lifting speed of the wafer 1 driven by the lifting mechanism 3 is increased. More specifically, in the third stage III, the rising speed of the wafer 1 is reduced at a plurality of fold lines, and in the fourth stage IV, the rising speed of the wafer 1 driven by the lifting mechanism 3 is more than or equal to 20mm/s 2 Therefore, when the wafer 1 completely leaves the water surface, the wafer 1 rises rapidly, and the last accumulated water at the lower end of the wafer 1 can be taken away by means of surface tension. In the fourth stage IV, the middle lifting mechanism 3 rapidly accelerates to rise until the wafer 1 completely leaves the water surface, the bottom of the wafer 1 is supported by the support base 33 and moves out of the water surface, and no accumulated water at the bottom of the wafer 1 can be ensured.
Then, the wafer 1 is driven by the lifting mechanism 3 to continue to rise until the wafer 1 is completely separated from the liquid surface.
