(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of tank is equipped with a passage for introducing a processing liquid at the bottom, and a chuck is used in conjunction with this tank to adsorb semiconductor material using a vacuum and support it on the tank. . Then, the treatment liquid is blown up from below and brought into contact with the material, which is supported with the surface to be treated facing downward, and the liquid that overflows the top of the tank is received by the outer periphery of the tank and returned to the tank. , configured to circulate. Conventional tank 3
As shown in FIG. 6, No. 0 had a cup-like shape, and nitrogen gas was blown around the upper side of the semiconductor material to prevent the processing liquid from going around the upper back surface of the semiconductor material.

(Problems that the invention aims to solve) As mentioned above, because the conventional tank was cup-shaped, the processing liquid sometimes got around to the back side of the material to be processed, and therefore it was necessary to spray nitrogen gas. It was hot. Furthermore, the processing liquid that hits the surface of the semiconductor material causes a flow along the surface of the semiconductor material and a flow that rebounds downward, resulting in a problem that the contact of the processing liquid with the surface of the material lacks stability. In addition, gas bubbles generated during the reaction and bubbles in the processing liquid blown up adhere to the semiconductor material, and the kinetic energy of the blown up processing liquid does not have enough force to remove them, resulting in uneven reaction due to the bubbles. I let it happen.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the processing liquid from getting around to the back surface of the semiconductor material and the adhesion of air bubbles, and to make it possible to prevent the processing liquid from coming into contact with the surface of the material. It is an object of the present invention to provide a treatment tank having a structure that is carried out in the following manner.

(Means for solving the problem) The processing tank 1 according to the present invention is characterized in that the top of the tank has a larger area than the surface of the semiconductor material to be processed and has a hole in the center, and the outer surface is larger than the semiconductor material. The table surface 4 is an annular surface having a diameter, and the inner surface of the top of the tank is a frustum-shaped surface that tapers upward toward the central hole. The inner circumferential edge of the hole has an approximately arcuate cross section so as to diverge upward. Processing liquid is blown up through a hole in the center of the table surface onto the downwardly facing surface of the semiconductor material.

(Function) The processing liquid blown up from the hole in the center of the table surface flows radially outward in a layered manner in the space between the table surface and the semiconductor material. Make suitable contact. At the outer edge of the semiconductor material, the processing liquid further flows outward in a layered manner along the table surface, so the force that tries to go around the back side of the material due to surface tension is absorbed by the suction force that tries to flow outward. It is canceled out, and wraparound is prevented. Furthermore, the processing liquid flowing between the semiconductor material and the table surface of the bath can remove air bubbles adhering to the semiconductor material.

(Example) Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown, this tank 1
The bottom portion 2 is provided with a passage 3 for introducing a processing liquid.
In this example, the top of the tank 1 is a table surface 4 consisting of an annular surface, and the diameter of the outer periphery 4a is larger than the outer diameter of the material s such as a wafer to be processed. Note that the outer periphery of the table surface 4 does not necessarily have to be circular. Hole 5 in the center of table surface 4
The processing liquid is blown up through the tube. As shown in FIG. 1, the inner peripheral edge of the hole 5 has a substantially arc-shaped cross section so as to diverge upwardly. The space of this hole 5 is also included in part of the area of the table surface.

Preferably, the inner surface of the top, i.e. the circumferential wall 6 of the tank
The lower surface 7 of the table surface 4 on the inner side is a frustum-shaped surface tapering upward toward the central hole 5, and the inclination angle o thereof is preferably about 30 to 60 degrees. By forming the inner surface of the top in this way, there is an advantage that air bubbles generated in the processing liquid can easily flow out.

In a preferred embodiment, the upper end 8 of the passage 3 is closed, and a hole 9 is provided in the peripheral wall of the passage 3 in the vicinity thereof, through which the processing liquid flows out. In this way, the processing liquid is suitably passed along the frustum-shaped surface 7 at the upper part of the tank 1 and blown up from the hole 5.

The tank 1 is preferably made of Teflon, but may also be of other materials. The semiconductor material s to be processed is supported closely and remotely above a table surface 4, such as by a vacuum chuck, as seen in FIG. The distance between them is usually 2 to 5 mm, but the optimum value for the distance is determined depending on the viscosity of the processing liquid.

Since the material s to be treated is close to the table surface 4, the treatment liquid 10 flows in a laminar flow between the table surface 4 and the material as shown in FIG. The surface tension F 1 is canceled by the suction force F 2 that flows further outward from the surface tension F 1 , thereby preventing the processing liquid from flowing around.
Furthermore, even if gas generated during the reaction or bubbles in the processing liquid blown up adhere to the surface of the semiconductor material, the semiconductor material comes into contact with the processing liquid flowing in a laminar flow, so those bubbles are removed. Contact effectively and evenly. If desired, as shown in FIG.
A tank 1 is placed in a container 11, and an annular lid 12 is provided that projects inward from the peripheral wall of the container to surround the processing liquid flowing down from the table surface 4. In this way, the gas 10a of the processing liquid and air are separated by the lid 12, thereby reducing the contact of the processing liquid with air, and thereby delaying deterioration. The degree of separation is determined by the distance 12a between the inner circumference of the lid 12 and the outer circumference of the peripheral wall 6 of the tank.

It is supported at a predetermined height position above. The etching solution is then introduced into the tank 1 from the pipe 29 through the passage 3 and blown upward, hitting the downward facing surface of the wafer and flowing outward between that surface and the table surface 4, causing the etching solution to flow outwardly between the surface and the table surface 4.
