を受けてから遠心脱水乾燥される。 In the conventional apparatus described above, a large number of wafers (not shown) housed in a cassette are placed in chemical tanks 1 and 2.
They are sequentially immersed in a high-temperature chemical solution, and then sequentially placed in washing tanks 3 and 4, where they are washed with pure water. Next, the wafer is placed in a rinse dryer 5, where it is sprayed with pure water and then centrifugally dehydrated and dried.

Since the cleaning ability of the wafer decreases, after several tens of cycles of immersion use, the wafer immersion process is interrupted to replace the chemical solution, the heating of the chemical solution is stopped, and the temperature is lowered.
They waited for the temperature to drop below 50℃ before discharging it. Next, the new chemical solution is supplied to the empty chemical tank 1 or 2 using the supply pipe 6.
The chemical solution was heated to 80° to 150° C. by the heater 10, the process was restarted, and this operation was repeated.

In conventional wafer cleaning equipment as mentioned above,
Even if the chemical solution used became dirty, it was not possible to circulate and filter the chemical solution during use due to the high temperature. For this reason, it is necessary to stop immersing the wafer in the chemical tank 1 or 2 contaminated with the chemical solution, and to drain the temperature of the chemical solution away, resulting in a decrease in productivity. Also,
Processing of the discharged chemical solution is troublesome, and a large amount of discharged chemical solution is undesirable. Therefore, in order to minimize the amount of chemical discharged, the chemical solution is used for as long as possible. However, as the number of processing cycles increases, the amount of foreign matter in the chemical solution increases, and the foreign matter may end up on the processed wafer. There was a problem in that the wafers adhered to each other, increasing pattern defects and deterioration of the insulation properties of the thin oxide film, resulting in a significant deterioration in the quality of the wafer.

得ることを目的としている。 This invention was made to solve these problems, and it enables reuse by filtering the chemical solution in the chemical tank every certain number of immersion treatments, and when performing filtration, it is possible to use a replacement chemical solution. By newly using it for cleaning, a certain number of chemical baths are always in operation to prevent a drop in productivity, and the chemical solution is used for as long as possible without affecting the quality of the wafers. The object of the present invention is to provide a wafer cleaning device that can reduce the number of exchanges and reduce the amount of chemical solution discharged as much as possible.
