＜device constitutes 〉

Fig. 1 is the cross-sectional side view of formation of showing the substrate board treatment 1 of the 1st form of implementation of the present invention.Substrate board treatment 1, be to utilize the transfer roller 2 that drives by not shown drive source to transmit semiconductor substrate for example or substrate W such as the dull and stereotyped huge glass substrate of making usefulness or tellite on one side, among treatment trough 1as carry out cleaning treatment and clean the substrate board treatment of this substrate W on one side.

In the treatment trough 1a of substrate board treatment 1, from the direction of transfer upstream side of substrate be provided with in proper order nozzle 51 with ejection pure water and roller brush 52 the 1st wiper mechanism 53, the 2nd wiper mechanism 54 described later, have the 3rd wiper mechanism 56 that tentiform is supplied with the nozzle 55 of pure water.Fig. 2 is the model utility cross-sectional side view of showing the 2nd wiper mechanism 54.The 2nd wiper mechanism 54 has double-deck box structure, and promptly portion's the 1st accepting container 3 of carrying out cleaning treatment also is received in the 2nd accepting container 4 within it.As the gateway of substrate W on each accepting container, the former is the 1st peristome 3a and the 2nd peristome 3b that is provided with on 2 sides in opposite directions, the latter is the 3rd peristome 4a and the 4th peristome 4b that is provided with on 2 sides in opposite directions, and they respectively at sustained height and in a straight line.Substrate W utilizes transfer roller 2 to transmit to horizontal direction shown in the arrow A R1 by these peristome ground successively.On Fig. 2, represent with three-dimensional coordinate, wherein, the direction of transfer of the substrate W shown in the arrow A R1 is made as x axle positive direction, is set as the y direction of principal axis, is made as the z direction perpendicular to the direction on xy plane perpendicular to the axial direction of x in horizontal plane.Again, end 3ae, 3be, 4ae and the 4be of the 1st peristome 3a, the 2nd peristome 3b, the 3rd peristome 4a and the 4th peristome 4b is designed to the interior side-prominent rostriform shape to the 1st, the 2nd accepting container 3,4 respectively, by on the face of side, form the plane that becomes almost parallel with the substrate W that transmits the past at its substrate.

On zone of passing through across substrate W and the position relative, be provided with by what not shown drive source drove and press pressure roller 9 with transfer roller 2.Press pressure roller 9,, play the effect of assisting substrate W to transmit by pushing from upside along with transmitting and cleaning the substrate W that vibrates.In the 1st accepting container 3,, the backing roll 10 of the effect play the more stable guide plate of the transmission that makes substrate W is set also though there is not drive source again.Like this, substrate W can suppress the caused dislocation of the vibration ground that the collision because of high-pressure fog shape fluid described later produces and transmit.

Again, on the 1st accepting container 3, respectively substrate W pass through the position more above top blowoff 5 is set, substrate W pass through the position more below bottom blowoff 6 is set.With the former is the surface of main cleaning base plate W, and the latter cleans the back side.

Top blowoff 5 is that air is mixed by for example volume ratio about 100: 1 with pure water, forms the spray form fluid-mixing so-called two-fluid spray nozzle that direction sprays to the surface of substrate W shown in arrow A R2.At this, air is to utilize air valve AV adjusting and process air feed path AL to provide from air supply source AS.Pure water is to utilize pump P1 from pure water supply source WS water intaking, utilizes valve V1 to regulate flow and provides by pure water feed path WL1.

Bottom blowoff 6 is that the pure water that is used for providing through pure water feed path WL4 from pure water supply source WS equally becomes tentiform ground such equipment to substrate W ejection shown in arrow A R3.

On top blowoff 5 and bottom blowoff 6, can utilize well-known spray technique.In addition, the also form of ejection and Air mixing fluid on bottom blowoff 6.Again, with above-mentioned opposite, also bottom blowoff 6 sprays fluid-mixings, the form of top blowoff 5 ejection pure water.

In addition, though illustrated situation does not mark on Fig. 2, on the substrate board treatment 1 of this form of implementation, make substrate W from the y direction of principal axis set angle θ that only tilts, the direction of transfer substrate W of substrate W transmits with the state that tilts to the left relatively.Fig. 3 is the figure that is used to illustrate that the inclination of substrate W transmits.As shown in Figure 3, the peristome with headed by the 1st peristome 3a also cooperates being formed slopely of substrate.Though 2 roller 2a and the 2b that directly contacts with substrate is set, on the roller 2b of setting below the inclination, be provided for preventing the flange part 2c of substrate landing on transfer roller 2 again.About pressing pressure roller 9 and backing roll 10 too, have 2 the

roller

9a and 9b and 10a and the 10b that directly contact with substrate.

And,, near the 1st peristome 3a and the 2nd peristome 3b, dispose pipe inspection device 7 up and down across substrate throughout in the outside of the 1st accepting container 3.In the inside of the 2nd accepting container 4, near the 3rd peristome 4a and the 4th peristome 4b, dispose liquid cutter 8 up and down across substrate throughout again.Fig. 4 is that the stereogram of both parts is showed in medelling for pipe inspection device 7 and liquid cutter 8 are described.

Pipe inspection device 7, as shown in Figure 4, in the yz plane and along the configuration of the incline direction of substrate W.On pipe inspection device 7, (pure water feed path WL2 among Fig. 2, only the drawn a part) pure water that provides through pure water feed path WL2 from pure water supply source WS, direction is such shown in arrow A R4 among Fig. 2, from a plurality of ejiction opening 7a that are provided with set interval, to the 1st peristome 3a with just spray with the gap of just passing through between the substrate W of this peristome by gap between the substrate W of this peristome and the 2nd peristome 3b.

On the other hand, liquid cutter 8, as shown in Figure 4, in the yz plane and along the configuration of the incline direction of substrate W.On liquid cutter 8, (pure water feed path WL3 among Fig. 2, only the drawn a part) pure water that provides through pure water feed path WL3 from pure water supply source WS, direction is such shown in arrow A R5 among Fig. 2, from a plurality of ejiction opening 8a that are provided with set interval, we can say to form liquid curtain ground to the direction ejection vertical with substrate W.Again, liquid cutter 8 because from above-below direction across substrate W ground ejection pure water, so, also can play the end that suppresses substrate W by the time the vibration of substrate W, the guiding function of Chuan Songing stably.In addition, liquid cutter 8 also can be provided with near the 4th peristome 4b at least, and needn't be provided with near the 3rd peristome 4a.For example, though when not allowing that washing fluid is transmitting on the passage downstream the 4th peristome 4b side of side and leaking, the tolerable washing fluid also can dispose liquid cutter 8 when upstream the 3rd peristome 4a side of side is leaked near the 3rd peristome 4a.

Again, the gas medium in the 1st accepting container 3 utilizes the 1st exhaust apparatus V1 through exhaust passage VL1 exhaust.Gas medium in the 2nd accepting container 4 utilizes the 2nd exhaust apparatus V2 through exhaust passage VL2 exhaust.These exhausts are wished to carry out with the ejection interlock from the washing fluid of top blowoff 5 and bottom blowoff 6.By taking only when washing fluid sprays, to carry out the form of exhaust, can prevent to flow into from the 1st accepting container 3 of gas medium when not cleaning of outside.And can reduce Payload.

From pipe inspection device 7 and liquid cutter 8 to pure water that the 1st accepting container 3 and the 2nd accepting container 4 provide and after becoming spray form once more the pure water of liquefaction discharge to drainpipe DR.

On the 1st accepting container 3 and the 2nd accepting container 4, locate suitably to be provided with cleaning that ejection is used to clean its inner cleaning fluid with nozzle 15 at four jiaos of for example internal tank etc. again.

＜substrate cleaning treatment 〉

Below, the substrate cleaning treatment of carrying out on substrate board treatment 1 is described.Pass the substrate W that comes from the front operation, when entering treatment trough 1a, at first utilize the 1st wiper mechanism 53 to scrub.Substrate W enters the 2nd accepting container 4 of the 2nd wiper mechanism 54 then.About the 2nd wiper mechanism 54, with reference to Fig. 5 explanation.Fig. 5 is the ideograph of the internal state of the 1st accepting container 3 in the substrate cleaning treatment and the 2nd accepting container 4.

On the 1st accepting container 3, from top blowoff 5 and bottom blowoff 6 respectively to the washing fluid 11 of the high pressure of the substrate W ejection spray form that passes through and the jet 12 of pure water.The surface and even the inside that make the particulate that constitutes the pure water in washing fluid 11 and the jet 12 collide substrate W are at a high speed removed attached to the particle on the substrate W etc. like this.Utilize the particle that this collision removes or the mist of pure water etc. to be distributed in the gas medium in the 1st accepting container 3, and in order to prevent it once more attached on the substrate W, the gas mediums in the 1st accepting container 3 utilize the 1st exhaust apparatus V1 to discharge through exhaust passage VL1.

But, because washing fluid 11 and jet 12 spray to substrate W with high pressure, high speed, so, though carry out from the exhaust of exhaust apparatus V1, but they are with after substrate W contacts, face horizontal direction along this substrate W is advanced, and major part is not gone out from exhaust passage VL1, but discharge outside the 1st accepting container 3 in substrate W and the gap between the peristome on the 1st peristome 3a and the 2nd peristome 3b.When flowing out thereupon, particle of removing and mist etc. still are attached to unfavorable conditions such as substrate W goes up or be attached in the substrate board treatment 1 such as treatment trough 1a inner face again.

Therefore, the substrate board treatment 1 of this form of implementation from 7 pairs of this gap ejections of pipe inspection device pure water, realizes utilizing this pure water to be full of the state in this gap, the i.e. state of closing gap.Below, the water that produces this state is called water seal 13.Because on the 1st peristome 3a and the 2nd peristome 3b, the shape of its end 3ae and 3be all forms the plane of pulling the W almost parallel with base, is smooth, so water seal 13 realizes easily.Water seal 13 though be not complete seal clearance, to washing fluid 11 and 12, reduces its flow velocity because become sufficient resistance, so can significantly suppress the washing fluid 11 outside the 1st accepting container 3 and the amount and the speed of jet 12.In addition, not having under the state of substrate, also is by from pipe inspection device 7 ejection pure water, suppresses washing fluid 11 and jet 12 to a certain extent and flows out to the outside of the 1st accepting container 3.

Again, the 2nd accepting container 4 inside remain and utilize the 2nd exhaust apparatus V2 through exhaust passage VL2 exhaust.So, can utilize the abundant exhaust of the 2nd exhaust apparatus V2 from the eluting gas medium 14 of the 1st accepting container 3 because utilize water seal 13 significantly to weaken the flow velocity of washing fluid 11 and 12.Design greatlyyer by exhaust velocity, make its effect more abundant than the 1st exhaust apparatus V1 with the 2nd exhaust apparatus V2.Like this, it is first-class to prevent that particle and mist etc. from adhering again to substrate W.In addition, on the 2nd accepting container 4, has liquid cutter 8, by its ejection pure water, gap when substrate W passes through between water seal this substrate W and the 3rd peristome 4a and the 4th peristome 4b, and tentiform stream at obstructed out-of-date sealing the 3rd peristome 4a of substrate W and the 4th peristome 4b ground formation pure water, play the effect of gate, the discrepancy of the gas medium inside and outside suppressing can more effectively reduce the outflow outside the 2nd accepting container 4 of washing fluid 11 and jet 12.

In addition, on substrate W,,,, flow to the 1st accepting container 3 and the 2nd accepting container 4 bottoms easily, discharge through channel B L so pure water is not trapped on the substrate W because such as described above substrate W transmits with heeling condition though the result provides a large amount of pure water.That is, make the surface of substrate W in the short period of time by the pure water displacement that newly provides.

More than, as described, on the substrate board treatment 1 of this form of implementation, accepting container has double-layer structural on the 2nd wiper mechanism 54, the peristome of the 1st inboard accepting container 3 utilizes water seal 13 sealings and suppresses the washing fluid 11 of high pressure ejection and 12 outflow, the 2nd also exhaust of accepting container 4 in the outside simultaneously can suppress to be cleaned adhering to once more of the particle removed etc. like this.

Like this, when the cleaning that utilizes the 2nd wiper mechanism 54 finished, substrate W utilized 56 jet cleanings of the 3rd wiper mechanism again.Finally send then, deliver to the drying device that carries out following drying process from treatment trough 1a.

In addition, in this form of implementation, spray liquid, can block washing fluid 11 toward the outer side, like this along substrate W by

lateral peristome

3a, 3b from the 1st accepting container 3, even but also this peristome of water seal of the state of

peristome

3a, 3b broad effectively covers liquid entrainment etc.

＜the 2 form of implementation 〉

Fig. 6 is the ideograph of formation of the substrate board treatment 101 of the 2nd form of implementation of the present invention.Substrate board treatment 101, identical with the 2nd wiper mechanism 54 of the 1st form of implementation, be to clean for example part of the base plate cleaning device of substrate W such as semiconductor substrate or flat-panel monitor manufacturing usefulness glass substrate or tellite, because act on identical, so, same symbol when same composed component adopts with the 2nd wiper mechanism 54, below no longer explanation.In addition, in Fig. 6,, only show a part about the feed path of air and pure water for simplicity of illustration.

Substrate board treatment 101, in the 1st accepting container portion 30 that the 2nd accepting container 4 internal configurations are made of a plurality of the 1st accepting containers, different with the substrate board treatment 1 of the 1st form of implementation in this.In Fig. 6, the example when the 1st accepting container portion 30 that is depicted as is made of 2 the

1st accepting containers

31 and 32.

2 the

1st accepting containers

31 and 32 make substrate W by the ground arranged in series of closely interlocking mutually according to this in proper order, on each, and peristome 31a, the 31b, 32a, the 32b that on 2 sides in opposite directions, form, arranged in a straight line.And, top blowoff 5 (51,52), bottom blowoff 6 (61,62) are set respectively.Again, the 2nd exhaust apparatus V2 undertakes 2 the

1st accepting containers

31 and 32 both sides' exhaust simultaneously.And design has the end 31ae and the 32be that become the beak shape with the face of the substrate W almost parallel of transmission respectively on the 2nd peristome 32b of the 1st peristome 31a of the 1st accepting container 31 of the openings at two ends portion that is equivalent to the 1st accepting container portion 30 and the 1st accepting container 32.

And, when the 1st peristome 31a of the substrate receiving terminal that will be positioned at the 1st accepting container portion 30 is defined as " the 1st outermost end peristome ", and the substrate that will be positioned at the 1st accepting container portion 30 is when sending the 2nd peristome 32b of end and being defined as " the 2nd outermost end peristome ", the outside of the 1st accepting container portion 30 and the 1st and the 2nd outermost end peristome 31a, 32b separately near, configuration sprays a plurality of pipe inspection devices 7 of liquid to the gap that is formed by the 1st and the 2nd outermost end peristome 31a, 32b and substrate W.In addition, also definable " the 1st outermost end peristome " and " the 2nd outermost end peristome " in the 1st form of implementation (Fig. 2), at this moment, because the 1st peristome 3a has only 1, so the 1st peristome 3a brings into play the effect of the 1st outermost end peristome, equally, because the 2nd peristome 3b has only 1, so the 2nd peristome 3b brings into play the effect of the 2nd outermost end peristome.

The situation of the substrate board treatment 101 of this form of implementation from the pure water of pipe inspection device 7 ejection, forms water seal 13 on the 2nd peristome 32b of the 1st peristome 31a of the 1st accepting container 31 and the 1st accepting container 32.At this moment, though the peristome between 2 the 1st accepting containers does not form water seal, but pass through both near configuration, can suppress the outflow of gas medium to the outside, so the result is the same with the 1st form of implementation, gas medium is suppressed to the degree that can discharge from the outflow of the 1st accepting container portion 30 integral body on the 2nd accepting container 4.

That is, this form of implementation is provided with a plurality of forms of carrying out the accepting container of cleaning treatment like this, also by form water seal on the peristome of the accepting container at two ends, can carry out the cleaning treatment that particle etc. can not adhere to once more.

＜variation 〉

As described above, in the present invention, though be by forming the flow velocity that water seal suppresses the washing fluid of high pressure ejection, the shape of end that is used to form the peristome of water seal is not limited to above-mentioned form.Fig. 7 is the figure of typical variant example of shape that shows the end 3e of the 1st accepting container 3.That is, end 3e, also can be shown in Fig. 7 (a) like that at the structure of the outstanding flat in the outside of the 1st accepting container 3, also can be like that to two side-prominent structures shown in Fig. 7 (b), the also structure that can shown in Fig. 7 (c), tilt more like that.Perhaps also can shown in Fig. 7 (d), utilize the form of thickness of the parts of the container that constitutes accepting container 3 like that.

Again, in above-mentioned form of implementation, because to the washing fluid 11 of high pressure is provided above the substrate W, so hope is arranged on the transfer roller or the backing roll of the following side of supporting substrate as far as possible near this supply unit bit position.In the above-mentioned form of implementation, because for the following side of also cleaning base plate and provide jet 12 to following side, so, front and back in the position, backbone of washing fluid 11 and jet 12 are provided with backing roll 10, but can save to following side in the time of for example needn't cleaning following side liquid is provided, also can backing roll or transfer roller be set in the position of the backbone of corresponding washing fluid 11.In addition, if below substrate, provide washing fluid with high pressure, and with low pressure to washing fluid is provided above the substrate, even the situation of the thin thickness of substrate then, the bending that also can alleviate because the gravity of substrate etc. causes improves the stability that transmits.

Again, though in above-mentioned form of implementation only from the upside exhaust of accepting container, also can be from the downside exhaust, and if from exhaust side exhaust more efficiently up and down.Though the 1st accepting container 3 and the 2nd accepting container 4 are connected on the independent exhaust apparatus, also can design one and can doublely make their two jumbo exhaust apparatus that queue device again.

Again, in above-mentioned form of implementation, though the double container that the 2nd wiper mechanism 54 is the 1st accepting containers 3 to be received in the 2nd accepting container 4 is constructed, but be not limited thereto, also can be as shown in Figure 8, in the outside, as secondary resettlement section as the 1st accepting container 3 of main accepting container, shared have the 1st a peristome 3a the 1st secondary accepting container 41 is set laterally, shared have the 2nd a peristome 3b the 2nd secondary accepting container 42 is set laterally.

In Fig. 8, secondary accepting

container

41,42 is distributed in the front and back of transmitting passage and has composed component and the function thereof that the 2nd accepting container 4 in the above-mentioned form of implementation is had.That is, on the 1st secondary accepting container 41, form the 3rd peristome 4a, on secondary accepting container 42, form the 4th peristome 4b, and each secondary accepting

container

41,42 edge joint is on the 2nd exhaust apparatus V2.And, in the peristome 3a of the 1st accepting container 3, the outside of 3b, in the promptly secondary accepting

container

41 and 42, the pipe inspection device 7 that

peristome

3a, 3b is provided liquid is set thereon, and near the 3rd and the 4th peristome, liquid cutter 8 is set.

Adopt such formation also can obtain the effect almost same with above-mentioned form of implementation.But, make from the

1st peristome

3a, 3b and pass the water seal that forms by pipe inspection device 7 and the efficient that can slow down to the washing fluid 11 that the outside of the 1st accepting container 3 is run out of, still peristome 3a side link to each other with peristome 3b side and design easily bigger volume aforesaid double-layer structural a side better.In addition, at this, secondary accepting container needn't be arranged on two sides' the side of peristome 3a, the 3b of the 1st accepting container 3.For example, though the tolerable washing fluid from the 1st accepting container 3 upstream the 1st peristome 3a side of side leak, but when not allowing washing fluid the 2nd peristome 3b side of side being leaked downstream from the 1st accepting container 3, the 2nd secondary accepting container 42 of the 2nd peristome 3b side can be set at least also.

In above-mentioned form of implementation, though the form that is to use pure water to clean is not limited thereto also set treatment fluid, for example imaging liquid, corrosive liquid, stripper etc. from the composition of the washing fluid of

top blowoff

5 or 6 ejections of bottom blowoff.Again, the form that provides pure water also to carry out to each blowoff or water jet, liquid cutter from different feedwaies.

Again, discard, be not limited thereto, also can be designed to recycle treatment fluid though the pure water after using in above-mentioned form of implementation is discharged to drainpipe DR.For example in the 1st form of implementation, also can separate on each wiper mechanism 53,54,56 and reclaim pure water, the 3rd wiper mechanism 56 used pure water then be offered the 2nd wiper mechanism 54 use, this pure water then offers the 1st wiper mechanism 53 again and uses.

Also can a plurality of tops blowoff and bottom blowoff be set one the 1st accepting container portion inside again.
