Description

本発明は、回転式の万能型洗浄装置に係り、特に、摺動部から洗浄槽内へのごみの混入を防止した洗浄装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a rotary universal cleaning device, and more particularly to a cleaning device that prevents dust from entering a cleaning tank from a sliding portion.

近年、半導体集積回路のより一層の高集積化に伴い、半導体ウエハの表面に形成される回路パターンはより微細化・複雑化してきている。このため、微細な異物や微量の不純物であっても、半導体ウエハに付着していると、半導体回路の特性は劣化し、製造の歩留まりは低下することになる。従って、半導体製造工程において、洗浄プロセスは極めて重要である。   In recent years, with further higher integration of semiconductor integrated circuits, circuit patterns formed on the surface of semiconductor wafers have become finer and more complicated. For this reason, even if a fine foreign matter or a small amount of impurities adheres to the semiconductor wafer, the characteristics of the semiconductor circuit deteriorate and the manufacturing yield decreases. Therefore, the cleaning process is extremely important in the semiconductor manufacturing process.

半導体ウエハの洗浄方法としては、洗浄槽内で半導体基板を回転しながら洗浄液あるいは不活性ガスを噴射して洗浄、乾燥する洗浄方法が用いられている。このための回転式洗浄装置では、基板保持部材の回転軸が装置を貫通し、軸受けによって支持されているが、この軸受けは洗浄槽内部に曝されるため、摺動による発塵が洗浄槽内の雰囲気を汚染するという問題がある。また、貫通部等から外気が混入し、洗浄槽内部ひいては被洗浄物を汚染するというという問題もある。   As a method for cleaning a semiconductor wafer, a cleaning method is used in which a cleaning liquid or an inert gas is jetted to clean and dry while rotating a semiconductor substrate in a cleaning tank.

本発明の半導体ウエハの洗浄乾燥装置の一例を図1及び図2に示し、これを用いてを本発明を説明する。   An example of the semiconductor wafer cleaning and drying apparatus of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the present invention will be described using this.

図1は本発明の洗浄装置の基本概念を示す概念図である。   FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the basic concept of the cleaning apparatus of the present invention.

図1において、101は洗浄槽、102は蓋、103は洗浄液供給管、104は半導体基板105の回転保持部材である。106は排出部であって、図の例では、洗浄槽101の底面の中央に配置され、下方にいくに従い開口径が減少するテーパーを持った配管が用いられている。この排出部106を回転軸107が貫通し、その一方が保持部材104、他方が駆動用のモータ109と連結されている。回転軸107には、排出部のテーパーと同じ角度のテーパー部を有する大径部110を有するとともに、回転軸と共に回転する洗浄液の受け容器108が設けられている。   In FIG. 1, 101 is a cleaning tank, 102 is a lid, 103 is a cleaning liquid supply pipe, and 104 is a rotation holding member for the semiconductor substrate 105. Reference numeral 106 denotes a discharge portion, and in the example shown in the figure, a pipe having a taper that is disposed at the center of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 101 and whose opening diameter decreases as it goes downward is used. A rotating shaft 107 passes through the discharge portion 106, one of which is connected to a holding member 104 and the other is connected to a driving motor 109. The rotating shaft 107 has a large-diameter portion 110 having a tapered portion having the same angle as the taper of the discharge portion, and a cleaning liquid receiving container 108 that rotates together with the rotating shaft.

図1に示すように、本発明の洗浄装置は、回転軸を支持する軸受けを洗浄槽内から排除したため、従来装置で問題となる回転軸と軸受け間等の摺動部での発塵の問題を回避することが可能となる。また、回転軸と排出部の間を流れる洗浄液により外部からごみ等の混入も防止することができる。   As shown in FIG. 1, in the cleaning device of the present invention, since the bearing supporting the rotating shaft is excluded from the cleaning tank, there is a problem of dust generation at the sliding portion between the rotating shaft and the bearing, which is a problem in the conventional device. Can be avoided. In addition, the cleaning liquid flowing between the rotating shaft and the discharge portion can prevent dust from entering from the outside.

受け容器108に溜まる液は、例えば図3に示すように、受け容器108に排出パイプ302を取り付け、環状の排出液受け溝303に排液を排出する構造としても良い。この場合、排出パイプ302は回転時のバランスを考慮して複数本設けるのが好ましい。あるいは、受け溝303と同様環状にしても良い。   For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the liquid accumulated in the receiving container 108 may have a structure in which a discharge pipe 302 is attached to the receiving container 108 and the discharged liquid is discharged into an annular discharged liquid receiving groove 303. In this case, it is preferable to provide a plurality of discharge pipes 302 in consideration of the balance during rotation. Alternatively, it may be annular like the receiving groove 303.

また、受け容器108に溜まる液は、例えば図4に説明するように、受け容器108を溢流する洗浄液を受ける容器402をさらに設けても良い。   Further, the liquid stored in the receiving container 108 may be further provided with a container 402 for receiving the cleaning liquid overflowing the receiving container 108 as described in FIG.

さらには、図6に示すように、回転軸107の内部を、受け容器108から下の部分で中空にして、容器108に溜まる洗浄液を排出口601及び中空部602を通して回転軸107の下部から洗浄液を排出させる構造としても良い。また、例えば回転軸107の下端にバルブ603を設けることにより、排出量を調節することができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the inside of the rotating shaft 107 is made hollow at the lower portion from the receiving container 108, and the cleaning liquid accumulated in the container 108 passes through the discharge port 601 and the hollow portion 602 from the lower portion of the rotating shaft 107. It is good also as a structure which discharges. Further, for example, by providing a valve 603 at the lower end of the rotating shaft 107, the discharge amount can be adjusted.

図2は、本発明の洗浄装置の好適な例を示す概念図である。   FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing a preferred example of the cleaning apparatus of the present invention.

図2において、201は洗浄槽、202は蓋、203は複数の洗浄液供給管、204は不活性ガス供給管である。205はメガソニックの超音波振動子、206は半導体基板加熱用の赤外線ランプ、207は半導体基板208の回転保持部材である。また、洗浄槽201には半導体基板搬送装置(不図示)が接続され、大気に接することなく半導体基板を搬出・搬入可能な構造となっている。   In FIG. 2, 201 is a cleaning tank, 202 is a lid, 203 is a plurality of cleaning liquid supply pipes, and 204 is an inert gas supply pipe. Reference numeral 205 denotes a megasonic ultrasonic vibrator, 206 an infrared lamp for heating the semiconductor substrate, and 207 a rotation holding member for the semiconductor substrate 208. In addition, a semiconductor substrate transfer device (not shown) is connected to the cleaning tank 201 so that the semiconductor substrate can be carried out and loaded without being exposed to the atmosphere.

209は洗浄液の排出部、210は図1と同様の構造の大径部211を有する回転軸である。この回転軸210は、回転保持部材207と駆動用のモータ217とに連結されており、軸受け220で支持されている。   Reference numeral 209 denotes a cleaning liquid discharge portion, and 210 denotes a rotating shaft having a large-diameter portion 211 having the same structure as that shown in FIG. The rotating shaft 210 is connected to a rotation holding member 207 and a driving motor 217 and is supported by a bearing 220.

212は排出部209や洗浄槽201内を外気から遮断する外気遮断手段であり、上面を有しその中心が回転軸210に溶接された円筒体213、液溜り部215、液面保持用排液配管216から構成される。また、214及び219は、それぞれ洗浄液を交換する際に液溜まり部215の洗浄液を排出するためのドレン用バルブ及び配管である。図2の洗浄装置は、軸受け220を設けた構成としているが、軸受け220で発生したごみ等は、液溜まり部215に溜まる洗浄液自体により遮断され、洗浄槽201内への混入は完全に防止される。   212 is an outside air blocking means for blocking the inside of the discharge unit 209 and the cleaning tank 201 from the outside air, and has a cylindrical body 213 having a top surface welded to the rotary shaft 210, a liquid reservoir 215, and a liquid level holding drainage liquid. The pipe 216 is configured. Reference numerals 214 and 219 denote drain valves and pipes for discharging the cleaning liquid in the liquid reservoir 215 when the cleaning liquid is replaced. The cleaning device of FIG. 2 has a configuration in which a bearing 220 is provided, but dust generated in the bearing 220 is blocked by the cleaning liquid itself stored in the liquid reservoir 215, and mixing into the cleaning tank 201 is completely prevented. The

218は排出管209と回転軸と軸方向の相対位置を変位させる変位手段であり、221はモーター支持部材であり、これらはハウジング222内に収納される。なお、洗浄液の蒸気・ミストによる汚染を防止するために、ハウジング222内を乾燥N2ガス、清浄空気又は不活性ガス等を流すよう構成されている。 Reference numeral 218 denotes a displacement means for displacing the relative positions of the discharge pipe 209 and the rotation shaft in the axial direction, and 221 denotes a motor support member, which are housed in the housing 222. In order to prevent the cleaning liquid from being contaminated by vapor or mist, the housing 222 is configured to flow dry N 2 gas, clean air, inert gas, or the like.

図2の装置を用いて、フッ酸、超純水リンス、イソプロピルアルコール(IPA)洗浄、乾燥工程からなる半導体基板の洗浄方法を説明する。   A method for cleaning a semiconductor substrate including a hydrofluoric acid, ultrapure water rinse, isopropyl alcohol (IPA) cleaning, and a drying process will be described using the apparatus shown in FIG.

(a)フッ酸洗浄まず、不図示の搬送装置によりシリコンウエハ208を保持部材207に設置する。 (A) Hydrofluoric acid cleaning First, the silicon wafer 208 is set on the holding member 207 by a transfer device (not shown).

第1の洗浄液供給管203からフッ酸を洗浄槽201内に注ぎ、シリコンウエハを十分に覆った時点で、保持部材207を低速〜中速で回転(例えば30〜500rpm)させ、超音波振動子205に電圧を印加して1〜5MHzのメガソニックの超音波をウエハに照射してウエハ洗浄を行う。メガソニックの超音波を印加することにより、洗浄効果は一層向上し、特に例えばトレンチ等の溝のごみ・不純物等も完全に除去することができる。   When the hydrofluoric acid is poured into the cleaning tank 201 from the first cleaning liquid supply pipe 203 and the silicon wafer is sufficiently covered, the holding member 207 is rotated at a low speed to a medium speed (for example, 30 to 500 rpm), and the ultrasonic vibrator The wafer is cleaned by applying a voltage to 205 and irradiating the wafer with 1 to 5 MHz megasonic ultrasonic waves. By applying a megasonic ultrasonic wave, the cleaning effect is further improved, and in particular, dust, impurities, etc. in a trench such as a trench can be completely removed.

フッ酸は回転軸210の大径部211と排出部209との間隙と通って下方に流れ、液溜り部215から液面保持配管216を通って不図示の排液槽に排出される。従って、洗浄槽201の内部は、回転軸210の大径部211と排出部209との間隙並びに液溜まり部215に溜まる洗浄液自体によって、軸受け等で発生するごみ等から完全に遮断されることになる。   The hydrofluoric acid flows downward through the gap between the large-diameter portion 211 of the rotating shaft 210 and the discharge portion 209, and is discharged from the liquid reservoir 215 through the liquid level holding pipe 216 to a drain tank (not shown). Accordingly, the inside of the cleaning tank 201 is completely shielded from dust generated in the bearings and the like by the gap between the large diameter portion 211 and the discharge portion 209 of the rotating shaft 210 and the cleaning liquid itself stored in the liquid reservoir 215. Become.

以上の洗浄においては、シリコンウエハに付着した不純物やごみ等は、ウエハの回転運動、フレッシュな洗浄液の供給、メガソニックの超音波の作用により、ウエハ表面から極めて効果的に除去され、上記の間隙を通って外部へ排出される。   In the above cleaning, impurities and dust adhering to the silicon wafer are removed from the wafer surface very effectively by the rotational movement of the wafer, the supply of fresh cleaning liquid, and the action of megasonic ultrasonic waves. It is discharged to the outside through.

なお、回転軸210の大径部211と排出管209との間隙の大きさにより、この間隙を通って液が排出される流量が決定されるが、供給量の1〜10%とするのが好ましい。通常、この間隙は1〜10mmとされるが、液の粘度に応じて適宜決められる。   The flow rate at which the liquid is discharged through the gap is determined by the size of the gap between the large-diameter portion 211 of the rotating shaft 210 and the discharge pipe 209. The flow rate is 1 to 10% of the supply amount. preferable. Usually, this gap is set to 1 to 10 mm, but is appropriately determined according to the viscosity of the liquid.

フッ酸洗浄が終了後、N2ガスを槽内に供給し、変位手段218により回転軸210を上方に移動させて排出部209と回転軸の大径部211との間隙を大きくして、フッ酸を落下させ外部に放出する。この場合でも、フッ酸は液溜り部215の部分に溜まるため、洗浄槽201及び排出管209の内部にごみ等が入り込むことはない。 After the hydrofluoric acid cleaning is completed, N 2 gas is supplied into the tank, and the rotating shaft 210 is moved upward by the displacement means 218 to increase the gap between the discharge portion 209 and the large-diameter portion 211 of the rotating shaft. The acid is dropped and released to the outside. Even in this case, since hydrofluoric acid is accumulated in the liquid reservoir 215, dust or the like does not enter the cleaning tank 201 and the discharge pipe 209.

(b)超純水リンス洗浄続いて、超純水供給管から超純水を槽内に供給して、フッ酸洗浄と同様にして超純水リンス洗浄を行う。 (B) Ultrapure water rinse cleaning Subsequently, ultrapure water is supplied from the ultrapure water supply pipe into the tank, and ultrapure water rinse cleaning is performed in the same manner as the hydrofluoric acid cleaning.

(c)IPA洗浄及び乾燥IPA供給管からIPAを槽内に供給して、フッ酸洗浄と同様にして洗浄を行う。その後、N2ガスを供給しながら赤外線ランプ206でウエハ208を加熱しながら高速回転(1000〜3600rpm)させ、ウエハに付着するIPAを除去し乾燥させる。この工程においても、外部からごみの混入は防止されるため、ウエハは常時清浄雰囲気内に保持される。従って、高清浄なウエハ表面が保たれ、高い製造歩留まりを安定して得ることが可能となる。 (C) IPA cleaning and dry IPA is supplied into the tank from the IPA supply pipe, and cleaning is performed in the same manner as the hydrofluoric acid cleaning. Thereafter, the wafer 208 is heated at a high speed (1000 to 3600 rpm) while heating the wafer 208 with the infrared lamp 206 while supplying N 2 gas, and the IPA adhering to the wafer is removed and dried. Also in this process, since the entry of dust from the outside is prevented, the wafer is always kept in a clean atmosphere. Therefore, a highly clean wafer surface can be maintained, and a high production yield can be stably obtained.

なお、フッ酸等の無機系排液とIPA等の有機系排液を別個の排液槽に排出する場合には、上記超純水リンス洗浄後、排液用の配管216と接続した無機系排液槽を有機系の排液槽に切り替えればよい。また、各洗浄液を完全に分離するには、ドレン用配管219から、液溜り部215に溜まった洗浄液を排出するようにすれば良い。   In addition, when discharging an inorganic drainage such as hydrofluoric acid and an organic drainage such as IPA into separate drainage tanks, the inorganic system connected to the drainage pipe 216 is washed after the ultrapure water rinse. The drainage tank may be switched to an organic drainage tank. Further, in order to completely separate the cleaning liquids, the cleaning liquid collected in the liquid reservoir 215 may be discharged from the drain pipe 219.

また、洗浄液によっては、洗浄液を排液用の配管216、ドレン用配管219からフィルター等を介して供給管に戻す構造としても良い。   Depending on the cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid may be returned from the drain pipe 216 and the drain pipe 219 to the supply pipe via a filter or the like.

(実施態様例)
以上は、フッ酸洗浄、超純水リンス、IPA洗浄・乾燥工程を図2の装置で連続して行う例について述べたが、本発明の洗浄装置は、これらの場合に限らず、更に他の洗浄液を用いた工程を付加することもできる。あるいは、例えばフッ酸洗浄・超純水リンス用の装置とIPA洗浄・乾燥用の装置のように1つの工程ごとに1つの装置を設け、これらの装置間で基板を搬送する方法を採用しても良い。
(Example embodiment)
The above describes the example in which the hydrofluoric acid cleaning, ultrapure water rinsing, and IPA cleaning / drying steps are continuously performed with the apparatus of FIG. 2. However, the cleaning apparatus of the present invention is not limited to these cases, A process using a cleaning liquid can also be added. Alternatively, for example, one apparatus is provided for each process, such as a hydrofluoric acid cleaning / ultra pure water rinsing apparatus and an IPA cleaning / drying apparatus, and a method of transporting a substrate between these apparatuses is adopted. Also good.

なお、本発明の洗浄装置は、例えば図2において回転軸又は排出部の角度を有する部分にOリング等を組み込み回転軸を該Oリングに圧接させることにより、排液を完全に流さないようにすることができ、一般の洗浄槽として使用することも可能である。   In the cleaning apparatus of the present invention, for example, an O-ring or the like is incorporated in a portion having an angle of the rotation shaft or the discharge portion in FIG. 2 so that the drainage does not flow completely by pressing the rotation shaft against the O-ring. It can also be used as a general cleaning tank.

また、本発明の洗浄装置は、洗浄液に基板を浸漬して洗浄する方法に限らず、スプレー等基板表面に洗浄液を噴射して洗浄する場合にも同様にして適用することができる。この場合も、回転軸と排出部との間隙の洗浄液及び/又は液溜まりに溜まる洗浄液自体により、同様に摺動部からのごみの侵入は防止され、また洗浄槽内を外気と遮断することができるので、高清浄雰囲気内での洗浄が可能となる。   Further, the cleaning apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the method of cleaning by immersing the substrate in the cleaning liquid, but can also be applied in the same manner when cleaning is performed by spraying the cleaning liquid onto the substrate surface such as a spray. In this case as well, the cleaning liquid in the gap between the rotating shaft and the discharge section and / or the cleaning liquid itself stored in the liquid pool can similarly prevent the intrusion of dust from the sliding section, and can block the cleaning tank from the outside air. Therefore, cleaning in a highly clean atmosphere is possible.

さらに、本発明においては、基板が洗浄液に浸されていない時に、メガソニックの超音波を内在する洗浄液のジェット流を基板表面に吹き付けることにより洗浄を効果的に行うことができる。また、洗浄槽内に紫外線ランプを配設し、基板表面に紫外線を照射して洗浄液をラジカル活性化することにより、洗浄効果を一層高めることができる。   Furthermore, in the present invention, when the substrate is not immersed in the cleaning liquid, the cleaning can be effectively performed by spraying the jet surface of the cleaning liquid containing megasonic ultrasonic waves on the substrate surface. Further, the cleaning effect can be further enhanced by arranging an ultraviolet lamp in the cleaning tank and irradiating the substrate surface with ultraviolet rays to radically activate the cleaning liquid.

以下に、本発明の主要構成要素をより詳細に説明する。   In the following, the main components of the present invention will be described in more detail.

図2に示す流量制御手段は、外径が所定の角度をもって変化する大径部を有する回転軸と、これを軸方向に変位させる変位手段とからなるが、本発明の流量制御手段はこれに限らず、回転軸は少なくとも2つの異なる外径を有するものであれば良く、また、排出部もテーパー状でなく、直管であっても良い。但し、回転軸の外径を多段に変化させることにより、さらには連続に変化させることにより、幅広い粘性を有する種々の洗浄液に対しても適用することができ、洗浄液選択の自由度が増大し、また制御性も向上する。
<Flow control means>
The flow rate control means shown in FIG. 2 comprises a rotary shaft having a large diameter portion whose outer diameter changes with a predetermined angle, and a displacement means for displacing it in the axial direction. The rotation shaft is not limited as long as it has at least two different outer diameters, and the discharge portion is not tapered and may be a straight pipe. However, by changing the outer diameter of the rotating shaft in multiple stages, and further by changing it continuously, it can be applied to various cleaning liquids having a wide range of viscosities, increasing the degree of freedom in selecting the cleaning liquid, Controllability is also improved.

また、変位手段は回転軸自体を移動させる代わりに洗浄槽及び排出部を移動させても良い。回転軸あるいは洗浄槽を移動させる変位手段としては、これらを機械的に移動させるものでも良いし、あるいは、回転軸の一部に永久磁石を配し、その周辺に配設したコイルに電流を流し、磁界の相互作用により移動させても良い。   Further, the displacing means may move the cleaning tank and the discharge unit instead of moving the rotating shaft itself. As the displacement means for moving the rotating shaft or the washing tank, these may be mechanically moved, or a permanent magnet is arranged on a part of the rotating shaft, and an electric current is passed through a coil disposed around the rotating magnet. It may be moved by the interaction of magnetic fields.

本発明の流量制御手段としては、以上の他、流量を調節できるものであればどの様なものでもよく、例えばカメラの絞りがごとく内径を連続的又は段階的に変化させることができる部材を用い、これを排出部あるいは洗浄槽の底面開口部等に設けても良い。   In addition to the above, the flow rate control means of the present invention may be anything as long as the flow rate can be adjusted. For example, a member that can change the inner diameter continuously or stepwise as the aperture of the camera is used. This may be provided in the discharge portion or the bottom opening of the cleaning tank.

好ましい流量制御手段の一態様としては、図3に示すように、回転軸107に螺旋状フィン301を配設したものが挙げられる。これにより、回転軸の回転速度を変化させることにより排液量を制御することができ、また逆方向に回転することにより排液を強制的に排出することができる。図3の例では、螺旋状フィンを設けた例を示したが、これに限らず、回転軸又は排出部に凹凸、溝等を設けてもよいし、回転速度又は回転方向により流量を調整できるものであれば、特に螺旋状に限る必要はない。   As one aspect of the preferred flow rate control means, as shown in FIG. 3, there is one in which a spiral fin 301 is disposed on the rotating shaft 107. Thereby, the amount of drainage can be controlled by changing the rotation speed of the rotating shaft, and the drainage can be forcibly discharged by rotating in the reverse direction. In the example of FIG. 3, an example in which a spiral fin is provided is shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and irregularities, grooves, or the like may be provided on the rotation shaft or the discharge portion, and the flow rate can be adjusted by the rotation speed or the rotation direction. If it is a thing, it is not necessary to limit to a spiral shape in particular.

また、図3の方式を用いれば、上記変位手段等は不要となるが、併用しても良いことはいうまでもない。なお、図3においては、受け容器108に溜まる液は、前述したように排出パイプ302を通って環状の排液受け溝303に排出させる構造となっているが、図4、6の構造としても良いことはいうまでもない。   Further, if the method of FIG. 3 is used, the above displacement means and the like are unnecessary, but it goes without saying that they may be used together. In FIG. 3, the liquid accumulated in the receiving container 108 is discharged through the discharge pipe 302 into the annular drain receiving groove 303 as described above, but the structure shown in FIGS. It goes without saying that it is good.

<外気遮断手段>
図2に示した構造により軸受け周辺の外気から洗浄槽内を遮断することができるが、この他に、例えば図4に示すように、図2の円筒体213を上下に逆さまに配置し、この円筒体401の内径を排出部(排出管)209の外径よりも大きくし、その軸方向で円筒体が排出管209と重なりを有する構成としても良い。この構成では、円筒体401に溜まる洗浄液により洗浄槽201内を常に外気と遮断することができる。
<Outside air blocking means>
The structure shown in FIG. 2 can block the inside of the washing tank from the outside air around the bearing, but in addition to this, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the cylindrical body 213 of FIG. The inner diameter of the cylindrical body 401 may be larger than the outer diameter of the discharge portion (discharge pipe) 209, and the cylindrical body may overlap the discharge pipe 209 in the axial direction. In this configuration, the cleaning tank 201 can always be shut off from the outside air by the cleaning liquid accumulated in the cylindrical body 401.

円筒体401から溢流する洗浄液は、洗浄槽等に固定した容器402で受け、配管403により外部に排出される。この場合、洗浄液が円筒体401の底面を伝って軸受け220側に落ちるのを防ぐために、底面に更に第2の円筒体404を設けるのが好ましい。   The cleaning liquid overflowing from the cylindrical body 401 is received by a container 402 fixed to a cleaning tank or the like and discharged to the outside through a pipe 403. In this case, in order to prevent the cleaning liquid from flowing along the bottom surface of the cylindrical body 401 to the bearing 220 side, it is preferable to further provide a second cylindrical body 404 on the bottom surface.

また、円筒体401に溜まる洗浄液を溢流させずに、図6に示すように、回転軸の内部を中空とし、円筒体に溜まる洗浄液をこの中空部を通って回転軸下部から排出させる構造としても良く、その場合回転軸下部にバルブを設けて排出する流量を調節できる構造としても良い。   Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the cleaning shaft stored in the cylindrical body 401 is not overflowed, and the inside of the rotating shaft is made hollow, and the cleaning liquid stored in the cylindrical body is discharged from the lower portion of the rotating shaft through the hollow portion. In this case, a valve may be provided at the lower part of the rotary shaft so that the discharge flow rate can be adjusted.

<洗浄槽>
本発明においては、洗浄槽201内に、保持部材207を囲むようにその下端が洗浄槽の底面に固定された仕切板を設けるのが好ましい。仕切板を設け、供給する洗浄液の一部を溢流させて洗浄槽外部に取り出すことにより、比較的重いごみは、前述した排出部209と回転軸211の間隙を通って下方に流れる洗浄液とともに外部に放出され、軽いごみはこの仕切板を溢流する洗浄液とともに外部へ放出することができ、ごみの除去効果は一層向上する。また、この仕切板からの溢流する洗浄液は、フィルターを通した後、再び洗浄液供給管に戻すことにより洗浄液の使用量を節減することができる。
<Washing tank>
In the present invention, it is preferable to provide a partition plate whose lower end is fixed to the bottom surface of the cleaning tank so as to surround the holding member 207 in the cleaning tank 201. By providing a partition plate and overflowing a part of the supplied cleaning liquid and taking it out of the cleaning tank, relatively heavy garbage is externally removed together with the cleaning liquid flowing downward through the gap between the discharge unit 209 and the rotating shaft 211 described above. The light waste can be discharged to the outside together with the cleaning liquid overflowing the partition plate, and the dust removal effect is further improved. Further, the cleaning liquid overflowing from the partition plate can pass through the filter and then returned to the cleaning liquid supply pipe to reduce the amount of the cleaning liquid used.

また、洗浄槽の底面は、排出部開口に向かって下方に傾斜させるのが好ましい。これにより、ごみ等が速やかに排出部開口に流れ、その排出がより効率的になる。   Moreover, it is preferable to incline the bottom face of the washing tank downward toward the discharge part opening. Thereby, garbage etc. flow into the discharge part opening quickly, and the discharge becomes more efficient.

<保持部材>
図2では枚葉式の洗浄乾燥装置について説明したが、本発明の万能型洗浄装置は多数枚を一度に洗浄することも可能である。その一例を図5に示す。図5は、6個のウエハカセットを配置した保持部材の(a)概略平面図及び(b)概略断面図である。
<Holding member>
Although the single wafer cleaning / drying apparatus has been described with reference to FIG. 2, the universal cleaning apparatus of the present invention can also wash a large number of sheets at once. An example is shown in FIG. FIG. 5A is a schematic plan view and FIG. 5B is a schematic cross-sectional view of a holding member in which six wafer cassettes are arranged.

保持部材は、回転軸501に固定された円盤502とウエハ504を収納したウエハカセット505の保持部503とからなる。   The holding member includes a disk 502 fixed to the rotation shaft 501 and a holding portion 503 of a wafer cassette 505 that stores a wafer 504.

図4に示すように、ウエハ収納カセット505を保持部503に嵌着等して取り付けし、枚葉式の場合と同様にして洗浄液を供給し、回転洗浄する。ウエハ面が水平に配置されるため、回転の遠心力により高い洗浄効果が得られる。   As shown in FIG. 4, a wafer storage cassette 505 is fitted and attached to a holding portion 503, and the cleaning liquid is supplied and rotated and cleaned in the same manner as in the single wafer type. Since the wafer surface is horizontally arranged, a high cleaning effect can be obtained by the centrifugal force of rotation.

なお、カセットの取り付けは、枚葉式の場合と同様に搬送機構により、搬出入され、保持部に装着・脱着するのが好ましい。   As in the case of the single wafer type, the cassette is preferably loaded and unloaded by the transport mechanism and attached to and detached from the holding portion.

<加熱手段>
加熱手段としては、基板を赤外線ランプ等で加熱するほか、保持部材に電熱ヒータ等を設けて直接加熱しても良く、あるいは加熱した不活性ガス等を基板に吹き付けるものでも良い。
<Heating means>
As a heating means, in addition to heating the substrate with an infrared lamp or the like, the holding member may be directly heated by providing an electric heater or the like, or a heated inert gas or the like may be sprayed onto the substrate.

<材質その他>
回転軸や槽の内壁、保持部材等、洗浄液と接する部材の材質としては、洗浄液に侵されず、且つ不純物等を発生しないものが用いられる。例えば、石英やステンレス等にシリコンゴム、ポリエチレンをコートし、更にテフロン(登録商標)をコートしたものが好適に用いられる。これらを用いることにより、フッ酸、H2SO4−H22、NH4OH−H22のような腐食性の高い洗浄液を用いた洗浄を行うことも可能となる。
<Materials and others>
As a material of a member in contact with the cleaning liquid, such as the rotating shaft, the inner wall of the tank, or the holding member, a material that is not affected by the cleaning liquid and does not generate impurities or the like is used. For example, quartz, stainless steel or the like coated with silicon rubber or polyethylene and further coated with Teflon (registered trademark) is preferably used. By using these, it is also possible to perform cleaning using a highly corrosive cleaning liquid such as hydrofluoric acid, H 2 SO 4 —H 2 O 2 , NH 4 OH—H 2 O 2 .

また、回転軸は直接モータ等の回転駆動源に固定して回転しても良いし、また歯車・ベルトを介して回転しても良い。   The rotation shaft may be directly fixed to a rotation drive source such as a motor and rotated, or may be rotated via a gear / belt.
