Description

基板湿处理设备及回收环Substrate wet processing equipment and recycling ring

技术领域technical field

本揭示涉及一种湿处理设备,特别是涉及一种基板湿处理设备及回收环。The present disclosure relates to a wet processing device, in particular to a substrate wet processing device and a recycling ring.

背景技术Background technique

在半导体基板的工艺中,需要对半导体基板的元件设置面进行多道处理步骤,包含蚀刻、清洗等湿式处理程序。随着半导体基板的工艺复杂度增加,现已发展出一种基板湿处理机台,其采用一个旋转台对应多个液体回收模组的设计。基板湿处理机台可对旋转台上的基板施加多种不同的化学液体,并且通过对应的回收模组收集所述化学液体。通过施加不同的化学液体可对半导体基板上的多种金属层或其他材料薄膜层进行清洗蚀刻。In the process of the semiconductor substrate, it is necessary to perform multiple processing steps on the component installation surface of the semiconductor substrate, including wet processing procedures such as etching and cleaning. As the process complexity of semiconductor substrates increases, a substrate wet processing machine has been developed, which adopts the design of one rotary table corresponding to multiple liquid recovery modules. The substrate wet processing machine can apply a variety of different chemical liquids to the substrate on the rotary table, and collect the chemical liquids through the corresponding recycling module. Various metal layers or other material thin film layers on the semiconductor substrate can be cleaned and etched by applying different chemical liquids.

在传统的基板湿处理机台中,回收环是采用单一个抽气口的设计。然而,当使用传统的基板湿处理机台清洗蚀刻大面积的基板时,其工艺反应所产生气体的体积量非常庞大。单一个抽气口的设计无法负荷如此大量的气体的排出,故此大量气体无法通过回收环而被有效地排出工艺腔体外。如此将导致残余气体滞留于回收环内部或基板湿处理机台的腔体内部,进而影响基板清洗的功效,甚至导致废气回流而污染基板。In the traditional substrate wet processing machine, the recycling ring is designed with a single air extraction port. However, when a conventional substrate wet processing machine is used to clean and etch a large-area substrate, the volume of gas generated by the process reaction is very large. The design of a single air extraction port cannot handle the discharge of such a large amount of gas, so a large amount of gas cannot be effectively discharged out of the process chamber through the recovery ring. This will cause residual gas to stay in the recycling ring or the cavity of the substrate wet processing machine, thereby affecting the cleaning efficiency of the substrate, and even causing the exhaust gas to flow back to contaminate the substrate.

有鉴于此,有必要提出一种基板湿处理设备及回收环,以解决现有技术中存在的问题。In view of this, it is necessary to propose a substrate wet processing equipment and a recycling ring to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
