本発明はウェハ洗浄装置、特に浮遊ゴミの除去に優れた
流水洗浄槽の構造に関する。Detailed Description of the Invention 3. Detailed Description of the Invention [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a wafer cleaning apparatus, and particularly to a structure of a running water cleaning tank that is excellent in removing floating debris.
第３図は従来の流水洗浄槽を示す断面図である。 FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a conventional running water washing tank.
従来、この種の流水洗浄槽１は底部の洗浄水流水口２か

因となる欠点がある。In the conventional running water cleaning tank described above, dust from the wafer to be cleaned and the wafer carrier floats on the liquid surface of the running water cleaning tank, and the cleaning water 3
Even if a portion of the wafer is allowed to overflow, the dust does not completely flow out of the running water cleaning tank, and when the wafer carrier 9 is pulled up after cleaning, the dust adheres to the wafer 8, resulting in a decrease in yield.
本発明の目的は洗浄槽の液面に浮遊するゴミを完全に除
去し、ウェハ引き上げ時にウェハへのゴミの付着を防止
する装置を提供することにある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus that completely removes dust floating on the liquid surface of a cleaning tank and prevents dust from adhering to the wafer when the wafer is pulled up.

装置である。The present invention provides an apparatus for cleaning wafers by supplying cleaning water to a cleaning tank containing wafers and causing a portion of the water to overflow from the upper edge of the peripheral wall of the tank, in which a peripheral wall that can move up and down is provided at the upper end of the cleaning tank. This is a wafer cleaning apparatus characterized by the following.
次に本発明の一実施例について図面を参照して説明する
。Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
第１図は本発明の実施例の側断面図、第２図は側面図で
ある。洗浄槽１は塩化ビニール、テフロン等の材料から

板３は流水洗浄槽１と同様の材料からなり、多数の小孔
４が設置されており、流水洗浄槽１から取外し可能な構
造になっている。FIG. 1 is a side sectional view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view. The cleaning tank 1 is made of a material such as vinyl chloride or Teflon, and a cleaning water outlet 2 is installed at the bottom of the tank. The perforated plate 3 is made of the same material as the running water washing tank 1, has a large number of small holes 4 installed therein, and has a structure that can be removed from the running water washing tank 1.
洗浄水５は純水、有機溶剤、化学薬品又はこれらを混合
したものであり、洗浄水流水口２から供給され、小孔４
を通り槽１の周壁６の上縁から流れ出しオーバーフロー
状態になる。周壁６は洗浄槽１と同様の材料からなり、
第２図のリンク機構７１に浸漬し、洗浄する。洗浄終了
後、ウェハキャリア９を引き上げる直前に側壁９をスム
ースに下方に移動させれば側壁６で支えられていた洗浄
水５は一気に流水洗浄槽１の外に流れ出す。その後にウ
ェハキャリア９を引き上げる。The cleaning water 5 is pure water, an organic solvent, a chemical, or a mixture thereof, and is supplied from the cleaning water outlet 2 and through the small hole 4.
The liquid flows out from the upper edge of the peripheral wall 6 of the tank 1 and becomes in an overflow state. The peripheral wall 6 is made of the same material as the cleaning tank 1,
The link mechanism 71 in FIG. 2 is immersed and cleaned. After cleaning is completed, if the side wall 9 is smoothly moved downward just before the wafer carrier 9 is pulled up, the cleaning water 5 supported by the side wall 6 flows out of the running water cleaning tank 1 all at once. After that, the wafer carrier 9 is pulled up.
以上説明したように本発明はウェハを引き上げる直前に
流水洗浄槽の上部の洗浄水を一気に流れ出させることに
より、流水洗浄槽の表面に浮遊しているゴミを除去でき
、ウェハを引き上げる直前ばかりでなく、洗浄中にも同
様の操作を行えば更に浮遊ゴミの除去効果を高めること
ができる効果を有するものである。As explained above, the present invention makes it possible to remove dust floating on the surface of the running water cleaning tank by flushing out the washing water at the top of the running water washing tank at once just before pulling up the wafer. If similar operations are performed during cleaning, the effect of removing floating debris can be further enhanced.
