[Prior Art] A wafer having a plurality of semiconductor elements formed on its surface is cut into individual semiconductor wafers via a dicing device. The cutting device cuts the wafer by a thin cutting blade called a cutting blade, rotates the wafer at a high speed, forms an incomplete groove on the wafer (half thickness cutting), or forms a complete groove (full cut) to cut into individual wafers. . During the cutting process, the back side of the wafer is pasted on the cut adhesive film, and the wafer is mounted on the annular frame through the cut adhesive film. Therefore, even if the wafer is divided into individual wafers by full-cut processing, the wafers are not scattered and can be maintained at the position before processing, and the wafer shape is maintained as a whole. Further, the wafer assembly in which the wafer shape is held is also referred to as a wafer for convenience of description in the present specification. The above-mentioned cutting process is performed while supplying the honing water and the cooling water to the cutting blade and the wafer processing portion to maintain the cooling effect and the rinsing effect of the squeezing powder. However, it is obvious that the honing powder removal function is not enough by the honing powder flushing effect formed by the honing water and the cooling water alone. The reason for this is that honing water and cooling water containing honing powder are retained in the surface of the wafer and in the processing groove. In this case, if the wafer W after the dicing process is directly dried, the honing powder of -4-200805466 (2) is solidified and adhered to the wafer, and it is extremely difficult to remove it. Therefore, a wafer cleaning apparatus called a spin washer is mounted in the dicing apparatus, and the diced wafer is cleaned before being dried by the wafer cleaning apparatus to remove the honing powder. • The wafer cleaning apparatus (Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2003-27305 No. 5) has a spin washer platform # that holds a wafer in a cleaning tank to form a rotation, and a reciprocating movement of the spin along the surface of the wafer. A nozzle for supplying high-pressure washing water (two-fluid) to the wafer while between the outer peripheral portion and the center portion of the wafer held on the washing machine platform. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional wafer cleaning apparatus, since only one nozzle for ejecting the cleaning liquid toward the wafer is provided, the cleaning range is narrow, and it is necessary to improve the cleaning effect. Set the cleaning time to be longer. Therefore, in the case of the cutting device, there is a disadvantage that the throughput cannot be increased. Further, since there is only one nozzle, when the nozzle moves at a constant speed in the swing range between the outer peripheral portion and the center portion of the crystal, the cleaning ability of the outer peripheral portion becomes lower. Therefore, it is necessary to control the swing speed of the nozzle so that the speed becomes slow when moving from the center portion to the outer peripheral surface portion, or the speed becomes faster when moving from the outer peripheral portion to the center portion, and even from this point of view, the throughput cannot be increased. The problem. The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the invention is to provide a crystal cleaning apparatus for a cutting apparatus capable of improving throughput by an improvement in cleaning ability. [Means for Solving the Problem] In order to achieve the above object, the wafer cleaning apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention is mounted on a dicing apparatus for dicing a wafer into wafers, and is capable of holding crystals. A rotating means for rotating the circle; and a nozzle for ejecting the washing water to the surface of the wafer while reciprocatingly moving the surface of the rotating wafer by the rotating means, wherein the plurality of nozzles are disposed. According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the cleaning water is sprayed from the plurality of nozzles on the surface of the wafer, the cleaning range is widened, so that the cleaning effect can be improved even in a short period of time. In this way, the production capacity of the cutting device can be increased. A wafer cleaning apparatus according to a second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the crystal cleaning apparatus of the first aspect, the apparatus includes a moving means for moving a nozzle head in which the plurality of nozzles are disposed, and the moving means is controlled The portion is controlled to move the nozzle head along the surface of the wafer at a constant speed. According to the second aspect of the present invention, the 'moving' means in the moving range of the nozzle head, even if the nozzle head is moved at a constant speed, the nozzle head is provided with a plurality of nozzles, so that the cleaning ability is not different depending on the cleaning position. And lower. Therefore, the control unit controls the moving means to move the nozzle head along the wafer surface at a constant speed. As a result, the present invention can increase the throughput compared to the conventional wafer cleaning apparatus. The constant speed of the present invention is set to -6-200805466 (4) and is set to be faster than the peripheral speed of the wafer of the conventional wafer cleaning apparatus. A wafer cleaning apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention, characterized in that, in the wafer cleaning apparatus according to the first aspect or the second aspect, the cleaning water diffusion angle formed by the nozzle is set to a predetermined angle to form an ellipse in the cleaning water ejection region. At the same time, the cleaning water ejection regions of adjacent nozzles are partially overlapped on the surface of the wafer. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the washing water spray region of the nozzle is formed into an elliptical shape, the washing range can be expanded as compared with the nozzle having the circular washing water spray region. In addition, the cleaning water ejection regions of the adjacent nozzles are partially overlapped on the surface of the wafer, so that the cleaning ability of the overlapping portions is improved, so that the plurality of overlapping portions can further improve the cleaning effect. The elliptical shape of the present invention is set to be larger than the circular area of the conventional wafer cleaning apparatus. A wafer cleaning apparatus according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the wafer cleaning apparatus of the third aspect, the movement trajectory of the nozzle head is set such that the overlapping cleaning water ejection region passes through the wafer center of. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the overlapping portion having a high cleaning ability is a center portion which cannot be cleaned without touching the washing water, it is surely possible to wash the center portion. [Effect of the Invention] As described above, according to the wafer cleaning apparatus of the present invention, since the cleaning water is sprayed from the plurality of nozzles on the surface of the wafer, the cleaning effect can be improved even if the time is short, 200,805,466 (5). Can increase production. According to the present invention, the moving means can be made to have a constant velocity nozzle head within the swing range of the nozzle head, so that it can be improved compared with the conventional wafer cleaning apparatus. Further, in the present invention, the cleaning water ejection region of the nozzle is formed into an elliptical expansion cleaning range, and the surface of the wafer in which the cleaning water ejection region of the adjacent nozzles is partially overlapped, so that the capacity can be further improved. Further, according to the present invention, the overlapping portion having a high cleaning ability is passed through the center portion which cannot be cleaned by touching the washing water, so that the heart portion can be cleaned.
