Description
Embodiments relate to a wafer guide having a structure capable of increasing the cleaning efficiency of a wafer and reducing occurrence of wafer defects, and a wafer cleaning bath including the wafer guide.
The contents described in this section merely provide background information on the embodiment and do not constitute the prior art.
Recently, with the high integration of semiconductors, the processing and storage capacity of information per unit area has been increased. This has demanded a large diameter of a semiconductor wafer, a miniaturization of a circuit line width, and a multilayer wiring.
In order to form a multi-layered wiring on a semiconductor wafer, high-level trajectory of the wafer is required, and a wafer planarization process is required for such high-level trajectory.
The wafer planarization process may include a wafer polishing process and a wafer cleaning process. The wafer polishing step is a step of polishing both surfaces of the wafer with a polishing apparatus.
The wafer cleaning process is a process for removing various impurities adhering to the wafer on which the wafer polishing process is completed. Such a wafer cleaning process may be carried out using a chemical solution which is a cleaning liquid in a cleaning bath.
In the wafer cleaning process, it is appropriate that the impurities are well removed and effectively removed in order to reduce the generation of defective wafers.
Therefore, the embodiment relates to a wafer guide having a structure capable of increasing the cleaning efficiency of a wafer and reducing the occurrence of wafer defects, and a wafer cleaning bath including the wafer guide.

The plurality of ejection openings may be arranged at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the fourth line.
The fourth line may be formed in a direction perpendicular to the third line.
The third line may be formed vertically in the solution spraying portion.
The plurality of ejection openings may be radially arranged on at least one surface of the solution ejecting portion with respect to the center of the solution ejecting portion.

One embodiment of the wafer guide includes: a solution jetting portion provided in a disk shape and having a plurality of jetting ports formed on at least one surface thereof; A wafer mounting part formed at a lower portion of the solution jetting part and having a recessed groove on which the wafer is mounted; A first line through which a chemical solution flows from an external source; A second line connected to the first line and formed below the solution jetting portion and the wafer seating portion; A third line having one side connected to the second line and the other side connected to the injection port; And a fourth line formed in a circular shape in the solution jetting portion and connected to the third line.
In the embodiment, the solution injecting portion of the wafer guide can prevent the phenomenon of re-adsorption between the two wafers facing each other by isolating two adjacent wafers from each other, thereby remarkably reducing the cleaning efficiency of the wafer, The occurrence of wafer defects can be reduced.
In the embodiment, the occurrence of stagnation and vortex of the chemical solution and impurities is remarkably suppressed in the spacing space, and the chemical solution can easily escape to the upper portion of the spacing space. Therefore, the cleaning efficiency of the wafer is improved, Can also be significantly suppressed.
