Description
The present invention relates to a wire saw apparatus.
A wafer widely used as a material for manufacturing semiconductor devices refers to a single crystal silicon thin plate. Such wafers include a slicing process for thinly cutting a single crystal silicon ingot into a wafer shape, a lapping process for improving the flatness while polishing the wafer to a desired wafer thickness, an etching process for removing the damaged layer inside the wafer, Polishing is performed to improve etching, surface hardening and flatness, and cleaning to remove contaminants on the surface of the wafer.
Monocrystalline silicon ingots are generally grown and manufactured according to the Czochralski method. This method is a method of melting polycrystalline silicon in a crucible in a chamber, immersing a single crystal seed crystal into molten silicon, and gradually growing the molten silicon into a silicon single crystal ingot having a desired diameter.
After the growth of the ingot is completed, a slicing process for cutting the ingot into wafer units is performed. In this slicing step, there is a wire saw method in which a wire is run at a high speed and a slurry solution is sprayed thereon to cut the slurry by the friction between the slurry and the ingot.
Meanwhile, the conventional wire saw apparatus can not effectively clean particles such as coolant and sludge remaining on the wafer surface because the wafer is dried between the slicing step of cutting the ingot into a wafer form and the cleaning step, which may deteriorate the quality of the wafer .
In addition, the conventional wire saw apparatus takes a long time in the whole process due to the separate cleaning process.
One embodiment of the present invention is to provide a wire saw apparatus capable of effectively removing particles remaining on the surface of a wafer in a slicing step for cutting an ingot to improve the quality of the wafer.
According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing an ingot, comprising: an ingot moving in a first direction; a wire positioned on a path through which the ingot moves and cutting the ingot; a pair of guide rollers wound on an outer circumferential surface of the wire to move the wire; And a cleaning unit positioned between the pair of guide rollers to clean the ingot passed through the wire. Wherein the cleaning part comprises: a first bath filled with a cleaning liquid and having a receiving groove capable of receiving an ingot through which the wire is passed; at least one of the first and second baths is disposed on one side of the first bath, And a second bath surrounding the first bath to receive the cleaning liquid overflowed from the first bath.
At this time, a drain port for discharging the cleaning liquid overflowing from the first bath to the outside of the second bath may be formed at one longitudinal end of the second bath.
At this time, the height h1 of the first bath may be lower than the height h2 of the second bath.
At this time, the length of the pair of guide rollers on which the wire is wound may be shorter than the length of the first bass.
At this time, the wire and the first bath may be spaced apart at a predetermined interval.
At this time, the predetermined interval may be 5 mm to 20 mm.
At this time, the ultrasonic wave generator may be formed on both sides of the first bath.
The apparatus may further include a collecting unit connected to the drain port to collect the discharged washing liquid.
At this time, the cleaning liquid supply unit may be located above the first bath and supply the cleaning liquid into the receiving groove.
At this time, the cleaning liquid supply unit may be connected to the collecting unit to supply the cleaning liquid from the collecting unit to the cleaning liquid supply unit.
The wire saw apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an ultrasonic generator to effectively remove particles such as sludge and coolant present in the ingot, thereby improving the quality of the wafer and reducing the defect rate.
In addition, in the wire saw apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning unit is positioned between a pair of guide rollers, and the cleaning process is performed at the same time as the slicing process is performed, so that the wafer is not dried, It is possible to effectively remove particles such as particles.
The wire saw apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention can efficiently clean the wafer by adjusting the frequency magnitude of the ultrasonic vibration according to the size of the particles.
