Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for processing a semiconductor substrate, and more particularly to a substrate processing apparatus and method comprising a separate recovery line for recovering deionized water in the treatment liquid used in the process.
In a process of processing a substrate such as a wafer, a series of unit processes are continuously and repeatedly performed, and thus, a semiconductor integrated circuit, a display device, or the like can be manufactured. This unit process has a number of stages, typically an etching process and a cleaning process. The etching process and the cleaning process are processes for removing foreign substances remaining on the substrate.
In general, an apparatus for performing a substrate treatment process such as an etching process and a cleaning process is divided into a dry apparatus and a wet apparatus. Among these, the wet apparatus is an apparatus for treating a substrate using a plurality of treatment liquids, for example, an etchant, a cleaning liquid, and a rinse liquid. Such a substrate processing apparatus includes a process of etching an unnecessary portion of a thin film formed on a substrate, and a process of cleaning foreign matter remaining on a processing surface of the substrate.
For example, after a photoresist film is formed on a substrate during a semiconductor manufacturing process, a process of removing an unnecessary photoresist film on a bevel (hereinafter, referred to as an “edge”) region of the substrate is performed. In the edge etching process of the substrate, a treatment solution such as hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution is sprayed on the edge of the substrate to remove unnecessary photoresist film at the edge of the substrate. After performing the edge etching process of the substrate, a cleaning and rinsing process for removing foreign substances, such as etching liquid, particles, and other contaminants remaining on the processing surface of the substrate is performed. The treatment liquids used in this process are discarded or recovered and reused.
However, since the deionized water used most in the above-described process is mixed with other treatment liquids, the volume of treatment liquids disposed of or recovered becomes large, and the process of purifying to reuse such a large amount of treatment liquids requires a lot of effort. And cost.
An object of the present invention is to provide a substrate processing apparatus and a substrate processing method that can improve the processing efficiency and productivity of the substrate.
The substrate processing apparatus according to the present invention provides a spin chuck for supporting and rotating a substrate, a processing liquid supply part for supplying processing liquids to the substrate during a process, and a side portion of the spin chuck, which is supplied to the substrate and then supplied to the substrate. And a plurality of recovery bins for recovering the processing liquids scattered from the plurality of recovery bins, and recovery lines connected to the respective recovery bins to discharge the processing liquids.
The recovery line includes at least one deionized water recovery line, wherein the recovery bin has a first recovery bin having a first recovery line for discharging the first treatment liquid and a second recovery line for discharging the second treatment liquid. And a third recovery bin having a second recovery bin and a third recovery line for discharging the third processing liquid.
Here, at least one of the first to third recovery lines may be branched such that the treatment liquid is discharged through the first path and the second path. A divert valve is provided at the branched portion of the pipe. The direction switching valve is redirected such that the treatment liquid is discharged only in one of the first path and the second path, respectively.
The direction change valve of the treatment liquid supply part, the recovery part and the recovery line may be controlled by a controller, and the control part adjusts the direction of the direction change valve according to the type of the treatment liquid injected from the treatment liquid supply part.
The present invention includes a method for processing a substrate using the substrate processing apparatus, and the substrate processing method according to the present invention includes loading a substrate and a plurality of recovery containers depending on the type of processing liquid for processing the substrate. Disposing any one of the inlet positions on the substrate, supplying the processing liquid to the substrate to collect scattered processing liquid in the collecting container, and reusing each processing liquid in the collecting container; Waste liquid disposal.
Here, the recovery container may include a first recovery container having a first recovery line for discharging the first treatment liquid, a second recovery container having a second recovery line for discharging the second treatment liquid and a third discharge liquid for discharging the third treatment liquid; A third recovery container having three recovery lines may be included, and different treatment solutions may be used for the first to third treatment solutions.
In this case, the first treatment liquid is deionized water and the first recovery line may be used as a deionized water recovery line in which deionized water is discharged and recovered.
At least one of the first to third recovery lines may be branched into a first path and a second path, in which case the treatment liquid is discharged through the first path and the second path. In this case, the treatment liquid includes two different treatment liquids, and the recovery line further includes a diverter valve where the pipe is branched, and the divert valve has two different treatment liquids, respectively. The direction is diverted so that only one of the first path and the second path is discharged. One of the different treatment liquids discharged into the first and second passages may be discharged and discarded, and the other one of the different treatment liquids may be discharged and recovered.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a separate recovery line for discharging deionized water is provided so that the deionized water and the other treatment liquid are not mixed. This not only simplifies the treatment process but also facilitates reuse of the deionized water because the volume of the treatment liquid other than the deionized water is drastically reduced.

However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein and may be embodied in other forms. Rather, the embodiments presented herein are provided so that the disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the spirit of the invention to those skilled in the art.

The reason for discharging only one of the plurality of paths is that even if the treatment liquid is discharged through the same discharge hole, different treatment liquids may be discharged, and the discharge path may be discharged differently according to the type of treatment liquid. . Thus, by using only one recovery line as the deionized water recovery line, it is possible to further secure a recovery line for treating a separate treatment liquid rather than deionized water.
