Description of the Related Art In a wafer cleaning process, which is one of the steps for manufacturing semiconductor devices, wafers are cleaned using acids, alkalis, organic solvents, water, and the like. In this wafer cleaning process, for example, about 10 wafers 1 are stored in a wafer holder (hereinafter simply referred to as holder) for a wafer cleaning device as shown in FIG. This is done by immersing the tool in a cleaning device. The metal holder is made of a material such as resin that has excellent chemical resistance and heat resistance.

Usually, ultrasonic vibrations are applied to remove substances attached to the surface of the wafer 1. In the wafer holder 1o, a large number of wafer accommodating grooves 3 having a groove width approximately equal to the thickness of the wafer 1 are formed on the opposing inner wall surfaces of a box-like body 2 having an open top. It is designed to be gripped by the edges. Therefore, the wafer 1 is placed in the cleaning liquid in an upright state.

問題があった。The ultrasonic vibrator is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank of the cleaning device. Therefore, the vibrations emitted from the ultrasonic vibrator propagate parallel to the surface to be cleaned of the wafer 1 through the cleaning liquid. Furthermore, the groove width of the wafer storage groove 3 is set to be slightly larger than the thickness of the wafer 1 in order to facilitate the operation of inserting and removing the wafer 1. Therefore, during the cleaning process, the wafer 1 is securely fixed and vibrates. As a result, the deposits on the surface of the wafer 1 cannot be completely removed. In addition, if a protective resist film has been deposited on the surface of the wafer 1 during, for example, a laser scribing process, the cyst film is hardened by laser irradiation and firmly adheres to the surface of the wafer 1. . For this reason,
Adherents such as a resist film remaining on the surface of the wafer 1 after the scribing process cannot be reliably removed during the cleaning process. As a result, there is a problem in that defective semiconductor products with low reliability are produced.

The support columns 25 and the like may be made of any material, such as metal or resin, as long as it is not corroded by the cleaning solution for the wafer 21. Further, the shape and arrangement of the support columns 25 are desirably set appropriately depending on the shape of the wafer holder 30, the size of the wafer 21, and the like. The shape of the base body 20 includes a through hole 22 for accommodating the wafer 21, and a support column 2.
5 and the wafer fixture 24 can be attached. Further, the diameter of the through hole 22 is desirably set to be approximately 2% larger than the diameter of the wafer 21. The thickness of the base body 20 should be about 5 to 10 times the thickness of the wafer 21, and the diameter of the through hole 22 on the back side of the base body 20 should be set to be about 2 times smaller than the diameter of the wafer 21. desirable.

Insert and stack the desired number of layers. This is set in a cleaning tank of a cleaning device, and vibration is applied by an ultrasonic vibrator provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank to clean the wafer 21. During the cleaning process, all wafers 21 are securely fixed in position by wafer fixtures 24.

ができる。Moreover, the wafer 21 is placed in the cleaning tank in a horizontal state. Therefore, since the surface of the wafer 21 and the ultrasonic vibrator are arranged in parallel, the vibrations emitted from the vibrator propagate perpendicularly to the surface of the wafer 2. As a result, the surface of the wafer 21 can be cleaned with extremely high cleaning action. Therefore, even if the Lenost film or the like is firmly attached to the surface of the wafer 2 due to a laser scribing process or the like, it can be easily and reliably removed. As a result, highly reliable semiconductor products can be easily obtained.
