The following describes the technical scheme provided by each embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an electroplating process edge washing device, which includes an edge washing cover 1 and a rotating base 2.
The edge washing cover body 1 is of a round cover structure, and the edge washing cover body 1 is coaxially covered on the rotating base 2. The upper surface of the swivel base 2 and the inner surface of the edge washing cover 1 form an edge washing chamber 3. The upper surface of the spin base 2 is used for placing a workpiece, such as a wafer 4, to rotate the wafer 4 during the edge cleaning process.
Specifically, when the wafer 4 is placed on the upper surface of the spin base 2, the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer 4 divide the edge washing chamber 3 into the first flow path 301 and the second flow path 302.
The first flow path 301 and the second flow path 302 each extend in a radial direction in a direction away from the axis of the rotation base 2.
The edge washing cover body 1 is provided with a first liquid inlet channel 5, and the first liquid inlet channel 5 penetrates through the inner surface of the edge washing cover body 1 and is communicated with the edge washing cavity 3.
Specifically, the first liquid inlet channel 5 is located above the wafer 4 and is in communication with the first flow channel 301 for introducing ultrapure water into the first flow channel 301. In the practical application process, the ultrapure water introduced into the first flow channel 301 flows uniformly to the edge position of the wafer 4 under the influence of the centrifugal force and the guidance of the first flow channel 301 under the rotation action of the rotating base 2, and uniformly cleans the edge of the wafer 4.
Further, the first liquid inlet channel 5 is disposed in the central area of the edge washing cover 1, and the extending direction of the first liquid inlet channel 5 coincides with the axial direction of the rotating base 2. The first flow channel 301 is a circular flow channel or a fan-shaped flow channel disposed above the wafer 4.
By limiting the structures of the first liquid inlet channel 5 and the first flow channel 301, after the ultrapure water is led into the first flow channel 301, the ultrapure water uniformly flows from the central area of the wafer 4 to the edge of the wafer 4 along the first flow channel 301 under the action of centrifugal force and fully contacts with the edge of the wafer 4, so that the uniformity and stability of the edge washing width are ensured.
In other embodiments, the first flow channels 301 may also be configured as flow channels extending from the axis of the wafer 4 to the edge of the wafer 4 in the radial direction, and specifically, a plurality of first flow channels 301 may be configured, where the plurality of first flow channels 301 are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction around the axis of the edge washing cover 1.
The rotary base 2 is provided with a second liquid inlet channel 6, and the second liquid inlet channel 6 penetrates through the upper surface of the rotary base 2 and is communicated with the edge washing chamber 3.
Specifically, the second liquid inlet channel 6 is located below the wafer 4 and is in communication with the second flow channel 302, for introducing the etching liquid into the second flow channel 302.
In the practical application process, the etching solution led into the second flow channel 302 is influenced by centrifugal force and guided by the second flow channel 302 under the rotation action of the rotating base 2, and flows to the edge position of the wafer 4 uniformly to be fully contacted with the coating on the edge of the wafer 4, so that on one hand, the uniformity and stability of the edge washing width can be ensured, and meanwhile, the edge washing efficiency of the wafer 4 can be effectively improved due to the fact that the contact area between the coating on the edge of the wafer 4 and the etching solution is large and the contact is sufficient, and therefore the process time of edge washing of the wafer 4 can be effectively shortened.
In the edge washing process, the edge washing chamber 3 is a relatively airtight chamber, so that a large amount of splashing of ultrapure water and etching liquid can not occur, the ultrapure water and the etching liquid can fully contact the edge of the wafer 4, the utilization rate of the ultrapure water and the etching liquid is high as a whole, and more waste liquid can not be generated.
Further, the second liquid inlet channel 6 is opened in the central area of the rotating base 2, and the extending direction of the second liquid inlet channel 6 coincides with the axial direction of the rotating base 2. The second flow channel 302 is a circular flow channel disposed above the spin base 2 and below the workpiece, and the radial extension length of the second flow channel 302 (i.e., the radius of the second flow channel 302) is greater than or equal to the radius of the wafer 4.
By limiting the structures of the second liquid inlet channel 6 and the second flow channel 302, after the etching liquid is led into the second flow channel 302, the etching liquid uniformly flows from the central area of the wafer 4 along the second flow channel 302 to the edge of the wafer 4 under the action of centrifugal force and fully contacts with the edge of the wafer 4, so that the uniformity and stability of the edge washing width are ensured.
The edge washing cover body 1 is provided with a first liquid discharge channel 7, and the first liquid discharge channel 7 is arranged close to the edge of the rotating base 2 and is communicated with the first flow channel 301.
A second drain passage 8 is formed between the edge of the spin base 2 and the edge of the edge washing cover 1, and the second drain passage 8 communicates with the second flow passage 302.
In the practical application process, the ultrapure water in the first flow channel 301 and the etching liquid in the second flow channel 302 are respectively led out from the first liquid discharge channel 7 and the second liquid discharge channel 8 under the action of centrifugal force.
Further, one end of the first liquid drain channel 7 is connected to a side of the first flow channel 301 away from the axis of the rotating base 2, and the other end of the first liquid drain channel 7 penetrates through the lower end of the edge washing cover 1 in the vertical direction.
Further, the first drain channel 7 includes a first connection section 701 and a second connection section 702. The first connecting section 701 is connected with the first flow channel 301, and the first connecting section 701 is bent and extended upwards in the edge washing cover 1 in a direction away from the first flow channel 301 to form an arc-shaped flow channel. One end of the second connecting section 702 is connected with one end of the arc-shaped flow channel far away from the first flow channel 301, and the other end of the second connecting section 702 penetrates through the lower end of the edge washing cover body 1 along the vertical direction. In the practical application process, because the density of the ultrapure water is lower than that of the etching liquid, the first connecting end is arranged to form an arc-shaped flow channel, the ultrapure water is led out from the upper part of the edge of the wafer 4 in advance, and the mutual mixing between the ultrapure water and the etching liquid is reduced.
Further, the first liquid discharge channels 7 are provided with a plurality of first liquid discharge channels 7, and the plurality of first liquid discharge channels 7 are uniformly distributed on the periphery of the edge washing cover body 1. By providing the structure of the first drain passage 7, ultrapure water in the first flow passage 301 is uniformly discharged, and the stability of the flow of ultrapure water in the first flow passage 301 is ensured.
The edge washing cover body 1 can be separated from the rotary base 2 in the vertical direction so as to facilitate the placement of the wafer 4.
In other embodiments, a feed port may be formed on the edge sidewall of the edge-washing cover 1, and the feed port is in communication with the edge-washing chamber 3, so that the wafer 4 may enter the edge-washing chamber 3 and be placed on the upper surface of the rotating base 2.
In other embodiments, the edge washing cover 1 is also connected with a baffle cover for covering the feed inlet in a rotating or sliding way.
In this specification, each embodiment is described in a progressive manner, and identical and similar parts of each embodiment are all referred to each other, and each embodiment focuses on differences from other embodiments.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto, and any changes or substitutions easily contemplated by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present application should be included in the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the application is subject to the protection scope of the claims.
