Abstract

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for cleaning a substrate, which improve the cleaning efficiency and do no harm to the substrate. The method comprises the steps of providing cleaning liquid for the inside of a barrel body (61) of a cleaning nozzle (60) and closing a throat (76) at the same time, and making the cleaning liquid vibrate with a piezoelectric component (62) to thereby produce drops of the cleaning liquid through a plurality of ejection holes( 64) and spray them. The diameters of the sprayed drops are between 15 μm and 200 μm while their distribution is below 10% of the average drop speed in accordance with 3 σ rule. Furthermore, the drop flow is above 10ml/min. If spraying the drops of the cleaning liquid through the cleaning nozzle (60) on the substrate in compliance with the aforementioned conditions, the cleaning efficiency will be increased without causing damage to the substrate.

方突出之狀態下,將基板W交付至旋轉基座n。繼而,防 濺罩30上升至上述排液位置為止,並且喷嘴驅動部使清 洗頭60移動至經旋轉基座11所保持之基板W之上方之清洗 位置為止。於清洗位置處,清洗頭6〇之複數個吐出孔以與 基板W之間隔設為5 mm以上且25 mm以下。 P便於不進行清洗處理時,亦始終連續地自廢送栗Μ向 清洗頭的輸送清洗液。當不進行清洗處理時,閥76打開, 且輸送至筒狀體61之内部之清洗液直接自排出配管75持續 排出至裝置外部。,當清洗頭6g於較防料Μ更外側之 避讓位置處待機、&自避讓位置起移動至基板W上方之清 洗位置時’亦持續向清洗頭6〇供給清洗液,言亥清洗液持續 146585.doc 201104729 排出至裝置外部。 接下來,藉由旋轉保持部10開始基板W之旋轉,並且自 清洗頭60將清洗液之液滴朝向基板W之上表面吐出。此 時’亦可自處理液噴嘴18朝向基板W之下表面而吐出清洗 液。又’藉由喷嘴驅動部5 0使清洗頭6 〇於基板w之中心部 上方與端緣部上方之間擺動’而不斷進行清洗處理。於進 行清洗處理時,係一邊向清洗頭60輸送清洗液一邊關閉閥 76。因此’筒狀體61内部之清洗液之液壓上升,並藉此自 20個吐出孔64吐出清洗液。於本實施形態中,筒狀體61内 部之清洗液之液壓設為10 MPa以下。 又,於進行清洗處理時,電源65將特定頻率之交流電壓 施加於壓電元件62上。藉此,壓電元件62重複膨脹收縮, 並對琦狀體61内部之清洗液賦予特定頻率之振動。若提高 筒狀體61之内部之清洗液之液壓並且對該清洗液賦予振 動,則因液壓而自20個吐出孔64流出之清洗液藉由振動而 被分散•分開,從而生成並吐出清洗液之液滴。此處,自 吐出孔64流出之液流被分開而生成液滴係藉由以下之過程 而實現。於筒狀體61内維持固定壓力或者具有較小範圍之 壓力(D.C(direct current).pressure,直流壓)而供給清洗 液。自吐出孔64藉由上述壓力而自2〇個吐出孔64以實質上 相同之吐出率流出清洗液。若於該狀態下對壓電元件“施 加固定之特定頻率之交流電壓,則液流因所產生之振動被 分散•分開而形成液滴。此處之利用壓送泵72供給清洗液 之供給壓力與施加於壓電元件62上之交流之頻率,係如先 146585.doc -18· 201104729 前技術所記載之連續喷墨裝置之通常之操作範圍以外的 值。附著於基板w上之微粒等污染物質藉由自清洗頭6〇所 吐出之液滴的動能而被物理地去除。 此處,控制部90控制壓送泵72而調整筒狀體61内部之清 洗液之液壓,並且控制電源65而調整賦予給清洗液之振 動,藉此可規定自20個吐出扎64所吐出之液滴的吐出條件 (參數)。除該等以外,吐出孔64之直徑及個數亦對液滴之 吐出條件存在影響。 於本實施形態中,自20個吐出孔64朝向基板冒吐出之清 洗液之液滴之平均液滴直徑設為15 μΓη以上且3〇 pm以下。 此處,重要點在於:自清洗頭60吐出之液滴之液滴直徑不 會遍及15 μπι至30 μπι之範圍而較廣地分布,不均極其小。 具體而言,液滴直徑之分布以3σ(σ為標準偏差)計為2 μηι 以下。 圖4係表示清洗液之液滴直徑之分布之圖。於圖*中,以 實線表示自本實施形態之清洗頭60所吐出之液滴之液滴直 徑分布,以虛線表示自先前之雙流體噴嘴所吐出之液滴的 液滴直徑分布。自先前之雙流體喷嘴所吐出之液滴之液滴 直徑具有較廣之分布,既包含液滴直徑為15 μιηΐ3〇 之 液滴,但亦含有大量液滴直徑處於該範圍以外之液滴。與 此相較,自本實施形態之清洗頭60所吐出之液滴之液滴直 徑之分布極其窄,大體上無不均。 又,於本實施形態中,自20個吐出孔64朝向基板冒吐出 之清洗液之液滴之平均液滴速度設為2〇米/秒以上且6〇米/ 146585.doc -19- 201104729 秒以下。與液滴直徑同樣地’自清洗頭60所吐出之液滴之 液滴速度並不會遍及20米/秒至60米/秒之範圍而較廣地分

如此,可將自本實施形態之清洗頭6〇所吐出之液滴之液 滴直徑及液滴速度之不均處在較小範圍内,其原因在於由 壓電元件6 2對高壓填充於筒狀體6丨内部之清洗液賦予振動 而自複數個吐出孔64吐出上述清洗液。即,於先前之雙流 體喷嘴中,係使加壓後之氣體與液體碰撞而生成液滴,因 此液滴係作為與氣體之多相流而排出,控制變得困難,且 液滴之液滴直徑及液滴速度亦分布較廣、不均較大,相對 於此,於本實施形態之清洗頭60中,係對加壓後之液體賦 予振動而自複數個吐出孔64吐出,因此僅液滴吐出,可使 液滴之液滴直徑及液滴速度之分布較窄且不均較小。 圖ό係表示所吐出之液滴之液滴直徑與對基板w造成之 損傷之相互關係的圖。如圖6所示,若液滴直經超過3〇 則會對基板W產生損傷,液滴直徑越大則造成之損傷亦越 大。由於自清洗頭60所吐出之清洗液之液滴之平均液滴直 146585.doc -20· 201104729 位為1 5 μπι以上且3 〇 μιη以下,因此可防止於清洗處理中對 基板W造成損傷。又,由於液滴直徑之不均極其小,以3 σ 計為2 μιη以下,因此無益於清洗之多餘液滴或如對基板w 造成損傷之有害液滴完全不存在。所以,可提高清洗效率 而又不會對基板W造成損傷。 又,圖7係表示所吐出之液滴之液滴速度與污染物質之 去除率之相互關係的圖。如圖7所示,所吐出之液滴之液 滴速度越大則污染物質之去除率亦越高。自本實施形態之 清洗頭60所吐出之清洗液之液滴之平均液滴速度為“米/ 秒以上且60米/秒以下’因此可獲得必要之去除性能。而 且,液滴速度之不均亦極其小,以3σ計為5米/秒以下,因 此無ϋ於清洗之多餘液滴基本上不存在。 又,於清洗頭60上設置有20個吐出孔64。於第丨實施形 態中,自20個吐出孔64朝向基板_吐出之清洗液之液滴

之去除率’而若以10毫升/分鐘之液滴流量吐出液滴,則 可以30秒鐘達到相^㈣。於“式之基板清洗裝置^ 中’每塊基板w之清洗處理所需之時間為3〇秒係大致妥當 146585.doc •21 · 201104729 者。 如上所述,當進行清洗處理時,係自清洗頭6〇將清洗液 之液滴朝向基板w吐出。自清洗頭60所吐出之液滴之平均 液滴直徑為15 μιη以上且30 μιη以下,且其分布以切計為二 μιη以下。又,所吐出之液滴之平均液滴速度為2〇米/秒以 上且60米/秒以下,且其分布以3σ計為5米/秒以下。進而, 所吐出之液滴之液滴流量為1 〇毫升/分鐘以上。若一邊滿 足該等吐出條件一邊自清洗頭6 〇將清洗液之液滴朝向基板 W吐出,則可提高清洗效率而又不會對基板w造成損傷, 且可於短時間内達成充分之污染物質之去除率。 又,於清洗處理中清洗頭60係於基板评之中心部上方與

The end pins of the substrate W are held by the six support pins 2, whereby the substrate 丨丨 can be held in the horizontal posture ′ without contacting the central portion of the lower surface of the substrate W. The rotating shaft 13 is vertically disposed at a central portion on the lower surface side of the spin base 11. The rotary shaft 13 is coupled to the drive pulley 16 of the motor 14 via a drive belt 15. When the motor 14 rotationally drives the drive pulley 16, the drive belt 丨 5 is rotated and the rotary shaft 13 is rotated.

In the manner of the liquid discharge space 22, a recovery space 23' is formed between the outer wall of the processing cup 2 and the partition wall for recovering the cleaning liquid for the cleaning process of the substrate. The liquid discharge space 22 is connected to be used for cleaning. The liquid discharge pipe 27 of the liquid-guided liquid discharge processing apparatus (not shown) is connected to the recovery space 23 to be connected to the recovery pipe 28 for guiding the cleaning liquid to the recovery processing device (not shown). Above the processing cup 20, A splash guard 30 is provided to prevent the cleaning liquid from being scattered outward from the substrate w. The splash mask 3 is formed in a shape that is rotationally symmetrical with respect to the central axis RX.

Further, on the inner surface of the lower portion of the cover 30, a liquid recovery guide portion including an inclined surface inclined downward toward the outer side is formed. 32. A partition wall receiving groove 33 for accommodating the partition wall 21 of the processing cup 2 is formed in the vicinity of the upper end of the recovery liquid guiding portion 32. The splash cover 30 is lifted and lowered by a shield constituted by a ball screw mechanism or the like. The driving mechanism 35 is driven up and down in the vertical direction. The shroud lifting and lowering drive mechanism 35 causes the splash guard 30 to surround the recovery liquid guiding portion 32 at the recovery position of the edge portion of the substrate W held by the rotating base 12, and The drain guiding groove 3 丨 surrounds and elevates between the discharge positions of the edge portions of the substrate w held by the rotary base 11. When the splash cover 30 is located at the recovery position (the position shown in FIG. 1), The end of the substrate boundary 146585.doc 14 201104729 The cleaning liquid at the edge is introduced into the recovery space 23' by the recovery liquid guiding portion 32 and is recovered via the recovery pipe 28. On the other hand, when the splash cover 3〇 When in the liquid discharge position, the cleaning liquid scattered from the edge of the substrate W is arranged by the row The guide groove 31 is introduced into the liquid discharge space 22, and is discharged through the liquid discharge pipe 27. Thus, the liquid discharge and recovery of the switchable cleaning liquid are performed, and the substrate W is delivered to the spin base. In the case of η, the shroud lift drive mechanism 35 lowers the splash guard 30 to the oscillating position of the spin base 更 which is more prominent than the upper end of the splash guard 3 。. The nozzle drive unit 50 includes the lift motor 51 and the swing motor 53. The nozzle arm 58. The cleaning head 6 is attached to the front end of the nozzle arm 58. The base end side of the nozzle arm 58 is coupled to the motor shaft 53a of the swing motor 53. The swing motor 53 causes the cleaning head 60 to have the motor shaft 53a as the motor shaft 53a. The center rotates in the horizontal plane. The swing motor 53 is attached to the lift base 54. The lift base 54 is screwed to the ball screw 52 directly connected to the motor shaft of the fixedly disposed lift motor 51, and is slidably attached to the guide member 55. When the lift motor 51 rotates the ball screw 52, the cleaning head 60 is lifted together with the lift base 54. The elevating motor 51 and the oscillating motor 53 of the nozzle driving unit 50 move the cleaning head 60 between the escaping position outside the tamper-proof cover 30 and the cleaning position above the rotator pedestal. Further, the cleaning head 6 is placed above the spin base , and is swung between the upper portion of the center portion of the substrate w and the upper portion of the edge portion by the oscillating motor 53. Further, the control unit 90 controls various operation mechanisms provided on the substrate cleaning apparatus 1. The hardware of the control unit 9 is the same as that of a normal computer. In other words, the control unit 90 includes a CPU (central 146585.doc -15·201104729 processing unit) that performs various types of arithmetic processing, and a ROM (read only memory) that is a memory for reading the basic memory program. ), memory that reads and writes various kinds of information, that is, RAM (Random-access memory 'random access memory) and memory control software or data. Fig. 2 is a view showing a schematic configuration of a cleaning head 60 according to the first embodiment. 3 is a perspective view of the cleaning head 60. The cleaning head 60 is configured such that a piezo element 62 is attached to the cylindrical body 61 of the cylinder. The cleaning head 60 is attached to the front end of the nozzle arm 58 via a resin holder 63. Further, the holder 63 is omitted in FIG. A hollow space is formed inside the cylindrical cylindrical body 61, and openings are formed at both ends thereof. In the present embodiment, the tubular body 61 is formed of quartz and has a length in the longitudinal direction of 5 mm. Further, the cylindrical body 61 may be formed of a ceramic such as oxidized (Zr〇2). A plurality of (two in the first embodiment) discharge holes 64 are bored in the wall surface of the cylindrical body 61. The two discharge holes 64 are arranged in a line along the longitudinal direction of the tubular body 61. Each of the discharge holes 64 is formed in a substantially circular cylindrical shape penetrating the side wall of the tubular body 61. The 20 discharge holes 64 have a uniform diameter and are in the range of 7 μηι or more and 12 μηι or less. The arrangement pitch of the 20 discharge holes 64 (the distance between the adjacent discharge holes 64) is 1 mm. Further, a piezoelectric element 62 is attached to a wall surface of the cylindrical body 61 and a plurality of discharge holes on the outer wall surface facing the portion. The piezoelectric element 62 is electrically connected to a power source 65 having a high frequency generator. The power source 65 applies an alternating voltage of a specific frequency to the piezoelectric element 62. One end side opening of the inner space of the cylindrical body 61 is connected in communication with the 146585.doc 201104729 cleaning liquid supply source 71 via the supply pipe 7''. A pressure feed pump 72 and a filter 73 are inserted in the middle of the path of the supply pipe 70. The pressure feed pump 72 pressurizes the cleaning liquid (pure water in the present embodiment) from the cleaning liquid supply source 71 toward the cleaning head 60. The filter 73 removes foreign matter contained in the cleaning liquid supplied from the cleaning liquid supply source 71. On the other hand, a discharge pipe 75 is connected to the other end side opening of the inner space of the cylindrical body 61. A valve % is inserted in the middle of the path of the discharge pipe 75. When the valve 76 is opened by supplying the cleaning liquid from the supply pipe 7〇 in the inner space of the cylindrical body 61, the discharge pipe 75 discharges the cleaning liquid to the outside of the apparatus. The processing operation of the substrate cleaning apparatus 1 having the above configuration will be described. The processing operation described below is performed by the control unit 9 executing a specific cleaning processing software to control each mechanism of the substrate cleaning apparatus 。. First, the substrate W is delivered to the spin base n in a state where the splash cover 30 is lowered and the spin base 突出 protrudes upward from the splash guard 3 。. Then, the splash cover 30 is raised to the above-described liquid discharge position, and the nozzle drive unit moves the cleaning head 60 to the cleaning position above the substrate W held by the spin base 11. At the cleaning position, the plurality of discharge holes of the cleaning head 6 are set to be 5 mm or more and 25 mm or less from the substrate W. When P is not used for cleaning, the cleaning liquid is continuously supplied from the waste to the cleaning head. When the cleaning process is not performed, the valve 76 is opened, and the cleaning liquid supplied to the inside of the cylindrical body 61 is directly discharged from the discharge pipe 75 to the outside of the apparatus. When the cleaning head 6g is in standby position at the outer side of the outer side of the anti-feeding material, and when moving from the avoiding position to the cleaning position above the substrate W, 'the cleaning liquid is continuously supplied to the cleaning head 6〇, and the washing liquid continues. 146585.doc 201104729 Discharge to the outside of the unit. Next, the rotation of the substrate W is started by the rotation holding portion 10, and the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid are discharged from the cleaning head 60 toward the upper surface of the substrate W. At this time, the cleaning liquid can be discharged from the processing liquid nozzle 18 toward the lower surface of the substrate W. Further, the cleaning operation is continued by the nozzle driving unit 50 so that the cleaning head 6 is swung between the upper portion of the center portion of the substrate w and the upper portion of the edge portion. When the cleaning process is performed, the valve 76 is closed while the cleaning liquid is being supplied to the cleaning head 60. Therefore, the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 61 rises, and thereby the cleaning liquid is discharged from the 20 discharge holes 64. In the present embodiment, the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 61 is 10 MPa or less. Further, when the cleaning process is performed, the power source 65 applies an alternating voltage of a specific frequency to the piezoelectric element 62. Thereby, the piezoelectric element 62 repeats expansion and contraction, and imparts vibration of a specific frequency to the cleaning liquid inside the odd body 61. When the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 61 is increased and vibration is applied to the cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid flowing out from the 20 discharge holes 64 due to the hydraulic pressure is dispersed and separated by vibration, and the cleaning liquid is generated and discharged. Droplets. Here, the flow of the liquid flowing out from the discharge port 64 is separated to form a droplet by the following process. The cleaning liquid is supplied to the cylindrical body 61 at a constant pressure or a small range of pressure (D.C (direct current).pressure, DC pressure). The discharge port 64 flows out of the cleaning liquid at substantially the same discharge rate from the two discharge holes 64 by the above pressure. When the fixed voltage of the specific frequency is applied to the piezoelectric element in this state, the liquid flow is dispersed and separated by the generated vibration to form droplets. Here, the supply pressure of the cleaning liquid is supplied by the pressure feed pump 72. The frequency of the alternating current applied to the piezoelectric element 62 is a value other than the normal operating range of the continuous ink jet apparatus described in the prior art of 146585. doc -18 201104429. The particles adhered to the substrate w are contaminated. The substance is physically removed by the kinetic energy of the liquid droplets discharged from the cleaning head 6. Here, the control unit 90 controls the pressure feed pump 72 to adjust the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 61, and controls the power source 65. By adjusting the vibration applied to the cleaning liquid, the discharge condition (parameter) of the liquid discharged from the 20 discharges 64 can be specified. In addition to these, the diameter and the number of the discharge holes 64 are also the discharge conditions of the liquid droplets. In the present embodiment, the average droplet diameter of the droplets of the cleaning liquid which is ejected from the 20 discharge holes 64 toward the substrate is 15 μΓη or more and 3 μpm or less. Here, the important point is: self-cleaning Head 60 The droplet diameter of the droplets is not widely distributed in the range of 15 μπι to 30 μπι, and the unevenness is extremely small. Specifically, the droplet diameter distribution is 2 μηι in terms of 3σ (σ standard deviation). Fig. 4 is a view showing the distribution of the droplet diameter of the cleaning liquid. In Fig. *, the droplet diameter distribution of the droplets ejected from the cleaning head 60 of the present embodiment is indicated by a solid line, and is indicated by a broken line from the previous The droplet diameter distribution of the droplets ejected by the two-fluid nozzle. The droplet diameter of the droplets ejected from the previous two-fluid nozzle has a wide distribution, including droplets having a droplet diameter of 15 μmΐ3〇, but A large number of droplets having a droplet diameter outside the range are also contained. In contrast, the droplet diameter of the droplets ejected from the cleaning head 60 of the present embodiment is extremely narrow, and there is substantially no unevenness. In the present embodiment, the average droplet velocity of the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid which is ejected from the 20 discharge holes 64 toward the substrate is 2 nm/sec or more and 6 nm/146585.doc -19-201104729 seconds or less. The diameter of the droplet is similarly 'self-cleaning head 60 The droplet velocity of the ejected droplets does not spread over a range of 20 m/s to 60 m/s and is widely distributed. The unevenness is extremely small. Specifically, the distribution of the droplet velocity is 5 m in 3σ/ Fig. 5 is a view showing the distribution of the droplet velocity of the cleaning liquid. In Fig. 5, the droplet velocity distribution of the droplets ejected from the cleaning head 6〇 of the present embodiment is also indicated by a broken line. Indicates the droplet velocity distribution of the droplets ejected from the previous two-fluid nozzle. The droplet velocity of the droplets ejected from the previous two-fluid nozzle has a very wide distribution', compared to the cleaning of this embodiment The distribution of the droplet velocity of the liquid droplets discharged from the head 60 is extremely narrow. Thus, the unevenness of the droplet diameter and the droplet velocity of the liquid droplets discharged from the cleaning head 6〇 of the present embodiment can be made in a small range. The reason for this is that the cleaning liquid is discharged from the plurality of discharge holes 64 by the piezoelectric element 62 to vibrate the cleaning liquid filled in the inside of the cylindrical body 6丨. That is, in the conventional two-fluid nozzle, the pressurized gas collides with the liquid to generate droplets, so that the droplets are discharged as a multiphase flow with the gas, and control becomes difficult, and droplets of the droplets are formed. The diameter and the droplet velocity are also widely distributed and the unevenness is large. On the other hand, in the cleaning head 60 of the present embodiment, the pressurized liquid is vibrated and discharged from the plurality of discharge holes 64, so that only the liquid The droplets are discharged, so that the droplet diameter and the droplet velocity distribution of the droplets are narrow and uneven. The figure is a graph showing the relationship between the droplet diameter of the discharged droplets and the damage caused to the substrate w. As shown in Fig. 6, if the droplet passes straight more than 3 则会, the substrate W is damaged, and the larger the droplet diameter, the greater the damage. Since the average droplet of the cleaning liquid discharged from the cleaning head 60 is 146585.doc -20·201104729, the position is 1 5 μπι or more and 3 〇 μηη or less, thereby preventing damage to the substrate W during the cleaning process. Further, since the unevenness of the droplet diameter is extremely small, 2 μm or less in terms of 3 σ, the unnecessary droplets which are not good for cleaning or the harmful droplets which cause damage to the substrate w are completely absent. Therefore, the cleaning efficiency can be improved without causing damage to the substrate W. Further, Fig. 7 is a view showing the relationship between the droplet velocity of the discharged droplets and the removal rate of the contaminant. As shown in Fig. 7, the higher the droplet velocity of the discharged droplets, the higher the removal rate of the pollutants. The average droplet velocity of the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid discharged from the cleaning head 60 of the present embodiment is "m/s or more and 60 m/sec or less", so that the necessary removal performance can be obtained. Moreover, the unevenness of the droplet speed is obtained. It is also extremely small, and is 5 m/sec or less in terms of 3 σ. Therefore, the excess droplets which are not cleaned are substantially absent. Further, 20 cleaning holes 64 are provided in the cleaning head 60. In the third embodiment, The total flow rate of the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid from the 20 discharge holes 64 toward the substrate_ is set to 10 ml/min or more. Fig. 8 shows the removal rate of the contaminant due to the difference in the droplet flow rate of the discharged liquid droplets. In Fig. 8, the dotted line indicates the removal rate of the pollutants when the droplets of the cleaning liquid are ejected, and the solid line indicates the discharge rate of the droplets at a flow rate of 2 ml/min. The removal rate of the pollutants in the liquid droplets. The larger the droplet flow rate, the higher the cleaning efficiency. When the droplet flow rate of the droplets per minute is discharged, it takes 300 seconds to obtain sufficient removal. Rate 'and if 10 ml / min When the flow rate is discharged, the liquid phase can be reached in 30 seconds. In the "substrate cleaning device ^", the time required for the cleaning process of each substrate w is 3 sec. 146585.doc • 21 · 201104729 By. As described above, when the cleaning process is performed, the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid are discharged from the cleaning head 6 toward the substrate w. The droplets discharged from the cleaning head 60 have an average droplet diameter of 15 μm or more and 30 μm or less, and the distribution thereof is not less than 2 μm. Further, the average droplet velocity of the discharged droplets is 2 〇m/sec or more and 60 m/sec or less, and the distribution thereof is 5 m/sec or less in terms of 3 σ. Further, the droplet flow rate of the discharged liquid droplets is 1 〇 ml/min or more. When the discharge head 6 〇 discharges the droplets of the cleaning liquid toward the substrate W while satisfying the discharge conditions, the cleaning efficiency can be improved without causing damage to the substrate w, and a sufficient pollutant can be obtained in a short time. The removal rate. Further, in the cleaning process, the cleaning head 60 is repeatedly oscillated between the upper portion of the substrate and the upper portion of the substrate, and is uniformly washed over the entire surface of the substrate w. Further, the liquid which is scattered by the substrate w which is rotated by the centrifugal force is introduced into the liquid discharge space 22 by the liquid discharge guiding groove 31, and is discharged through the liquid discharge pipe 27. After a specific cleaning treatment time, the valve 76 is opened to stop the discharge of the liquid droplets from the cleaning head 60, and the cleaning head 6 is moved to the escape position by the nozzle driving unit 5?. Then, the number of rotations of the substrate w is increased to perform the drying process of the substrate. After the drying process is completed, the rotation of the substrate w is stopped, and the splash cover 30 is lowered to carry out the processed substrate W from the spin base u. Thereby, one series of processing operations of the substrate cleaning device 结束 is completed. Further, the position of the splash cover 30 in the π washing and drying treatment is preferably changed as appropriate depending on the necessity of recovery or discharge of the cleaning liquid. The first embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, various changes can be made in addition to the above description as long as the scope of the present invention is not exceeded by 146585.doc. 22-201104729. For example, in the substrate cleaning apparatus 第 of the first embodiment, the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 61 is 10 MPa or less, but the hydraulic pressure is not limited thereto. For example, if the diameter of the discharge hole 64 is smaller than that of the above embodiment, the hydraulic pressure must be set to a higher pressure. Further, in the substrate cleaning apparatus 1 of the first embodiment, the cleaning liquid is supplied to the cleaning head 6A when the cleaning process is not performed, and the cleaning liquid is discharged to the outside of the apparatus, but may be configured as a circulation system. In other words, the piping on the downstream side of the valve 76 can be connected to the cleaning liquid supply source via the filter, and the cleaning liquid from the cleaning head 60 can be returned to the cleaning liquid supply source 71. Further, the first embodiment can be used. The substrate cleaning apparatus 1 is suitable for cleaning a semiconductor substrate as the substrate W. However, the cleaning technique of the present invention can also be applied to cleaning of other types of substrates W. Examples of other types of substrates w include glass for liquid crystal display devices. A ceramic plate such as a substrate or a disk. Fig. 9 is a view showing a substrate cleaning device that does not perform cleaning processing of another type of substrate w. The substrate w is held by a support table lu. The cleaning head 60 as a cleaning head is opposed to the The substrate w held by the support unit is moved relative to each other. The slider moving mechanism (not shown) moves the cleaning head 60 above the substrate W, and the cleaning head 6 is fixed. The support table 111 is driven. Further, the cleaning head 6 can be moved by hand. The configuration of the cleaning head 60 is the same as that of Figs. 2 and 3 described in the above-described first embodiment. 60 delivery clear The liquid lifts the valve 76 to lift the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 61, and imparts vibration to the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 61 by the piezoelectric element 146585.doc -23- 201104729 member 62. The droplets of the cleaning liquid are generated and discharged by the ejection holes 64. The contaminants adhering to the substrate w are physically removed by the droplets ejected from the cleaning head 60. That is, when it is easy to clean the substrate including other types of substrates The control unit 9 controls the pressure feed pump 72 to adjust the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 61, and controls the power source 65 to adjust the vibration applied to the cleaning liquid, thereby defining the liquid discharged from the two discharge holes 64. In the droplet diameter, the average droplet diameter of the droplets of the cleaning liquid discharged from the 20 discharge holes 64 toward the substrate W is set to be I5 μπι or more and 200 μηη or less. Similarly to the above embodiment, The droplet diameter of the liquid droplets discharged from the cleaning head 60 is not widely distributed in the range of 15 μη to 200 μηι, and the unevenness is extremely small. Specifically, the droplet diameter distribution is 3σ (σ is a standard deviation). Concentrated in the average liquid Fig. 10 is a diagram showing the distribution of the droplet diameter of the cleaning liquid. The average droplet diameter of the droplets of the distribution DA is relatively small, which is suitable for the cleaning of the semiconductor substrate. On the other hand, the liquid of the distribution DB The average droplet diameter of the droplet is relatively large, which is suitable for the cleaning of the ceramic plate. Regardless of the average droplet diameter, the droplet diameter distribution of the droplets ejected from the cleaning head 6〇 is 1 平均 of the average droplet diameter in terms of 3σ. 0/〇 extremely narrow below 'substantially no unevenness. Therefore, unnecessary droplets which are not beneficial for cleaning or harmful droplets such as damage to the substrate W are completely absent. Therefore, the cleaning efficiency can be improved without being The substrate W causes damage. However, as the average droplet diameter becomes larger, the unevenness becomes larger. If the average droplet diameter exceeds 200 μm, it is difficult to concentrate the droplet diameter distribution in the average droplet diameter by 3 〇. 10% or less. Further, in the production of the cleaning head 6 , 146585.doc -24· 201104729, if the average droplet diameter exceeds 200 μm, unevenness cannot be suppressed, and it is not practical. Further, the average droplet velocity of the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid discharged from the 20 discharge holes 64 toward the substrate w is set to be 20 m/sec or more and 1 nm/sec or less. Similarly to the droplet diameter, the droplet velocity of the droplets ejected from the cleaning head 6 is not widely distributed over the range of 20 m/sec to 100 m/sec, and the unevenness is extremely small. Specifically, the distribution of the droplet velocity is concentrated below 10% of the average droplet velocity by 3 σ (σ is a standard deviation). Further, the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid supplied to the cleaning head 60 is not limited to 1 MPa or less, and a higher hydraulic pressure is required depending on conditions such as the diameter of the discharge hole 64. Fig. 11 is a view showing the distribution of the droplet velocity of the cleaning liquid. Depending on the type of the substrate W to be cleaned, droplets having a relatively small average droplet velocity such as a distribution dc can be used, and droplets having a relatively large average droplet velocity such as a distribution DD can be used. Regardless of the average droplet velocity, the droplet velocity distribution of the droplets ejected from the cleaning head 6 is measured as the average droplet velocity in terms of 3σ. / 〇 is extremely narrow, basically no unevenness. As a result, excess droplets which are not beneficial for cleaning are also substantially absent. However, as the average droplet velocity continues to increase, the unevenness gradually becomes larger. If the average droplet velocity exceeds i 〇〇m/sec, it is difficult to concentrate the droplet velocity distribution at 1 σ on the average droplet velocity. %the following. Further, regarding the droplet flow rate, the total flow rate of the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid discharged from the 20 discharge holes 64 toward the substrate W is set to 1 〇 ml/min or more. When the droplets of the cleaning liquid are ejected from the cleaning head 60 toward the substrate w in accordance with the type of the substrate W, the unnecessary droplets for cleaning or the harmful droplets causing damage to the substrate W are completely eliminated. If it does not exist, 146585.doc -25- 201104729 can improve the cleaning efficiency without causing damage to the substrate w' and can achieve sufficient removal rate of pollutants in a short time.

吐出孔464以40 m/s之液滴速度連續地吐出液滴直徑為2〇 μπι之清洗液之液滴時,均一地清洗直徑為3〇〇爪爪之基板 W之整個表面所需的清洗時間進行思考。 首先’為了均一地清洗基板w之整個表面,需要使液滴 無縫隙地與基板W之整個表面碰撞。為此,需要液滴一邊 以液滴直徑之1/2以上進行重疊一邊與基板w碰撞,具體而 s,以基板W之圓周方向上之液滴之碰撞間隔及半徑方向 上之碰撞間隔均為液滴直徑之1/2以下(若液滴直徑為2〇 μηι,則為10 μιη以下)之方式,調節基板旋轉數及清洗 頭460之掃描速度即可。 於基板W之圓周方向上,越接近外周則旋轉速度越大, 端緣部之速度最大。於基板W之端緣部沿圓周方向之液滴 之碰撞間隔若為液滴直徑之1/2以下、即1〇 μπι以下,則較 其更罪内側之沿圓周方向之液滴之碰撞間隔變得更密,不 146585.doc •39· 201104729 會產生縫隙。若自孔徑1 5 μπι之吐出孔464以40 m/s之液滴 速度連續地吐出直徑為20 μηι之清洗液之液滴,則自相同 吐出孔464連續吐出之鄰接之液滴彼此之中心間距離為52 μπ^如此一來,連續吐出且以4〇 m/s之液滴速度與基板w 碰撞之鄰接之液滴的碰撞間隔變為10 μπι,因此基板w之 端緣部之旋轉速度為7.8 m/s,與其相對應之φ300 mm之基 板W之旋轉數為5〇〇 rpm。即,若基板|之旋轉數為5〇〇 rpm以下,則基板w之圓周方向上之液滴之碰撞間隔可為 液滴直徑之1/2以下。 其次,於基板W之半徑方向上亦必須將鄰接之液滴之碰 撞間隔設為10 μιη以下。因此,基板w旋轉一次之期間清 洗頭460沿半徑方向而移動之掃描距離為1〇 μιη以下即可。 再者’清洗頭460嚴格來說係藉由喷嘴驅動部45〇 一邊晝出 圓弧狀之軌跡一邊進行掃描者,由於圓弧之半徑足夠大, 因此清洗頭460可近似於沿基板霤之半徑方向而直線地掃 描。 根據上述條件,若基板W之旋轉數為500 rpm,則基板W 旋轉一次所需之時間為〇.12秒,期間清洗頭46〇為了沿基 板W之半徑方向而前進1〇 μιη,掃描速度需要設為〇 mm/S。即,若一邊將基板W之旋轉數設為50〇 rpm 一邊將 清洗頭460之掃描速度設為〇 〇83 mm/s,則可將基板w之圓 周方向上之液滴之碰撞間隔及半徑方向上之碰撞間隔均設 為液滴直位的1 /2以下,且可使液滴無縫隙地與基板w之整 個表面碰撞。然、,若將清洗頭460之掃描速度設為〇.〇83 146585.doc 201104729 mm/s,則清洗頭46〇自φ3〇〇 mm之基板w(即半徑丨^爪⑷之 中心部移動至端緣部為止需要1800秒。該18〇〇秒之所需時

•41 - 201104729 主如上所述,為於實際中一塊基板w之清洗處理所允許之 清洗時間即30秒之時間内使液滴無縫隙地與基板w之整個 表面碰撞而均一地進行清洗,必須於清洗頭46〇上至少設 置60個以固定速度連續地吐出直徑固定之清洗液之液滴的 吐出孔464。然而,藉由】個吐出孔464而可均一地清洗基 板W之整個表面之丨8〇〇秒之清洗時間係理論上的計算值, 實際上因各種變動原因而需要更長之時間。根據本發明者 等之調查,發現為藉由單一之吐出孔464而均一地清洗基 板W之整個表面,實際上需要2400秒左右之清洗時間。為 使該實際上需要之清洗時間變為30秒,宜於清洗頭46〇上 設置80個吐出孔464。於第2實施形態中,根基於此種理由 而在清洗頭460上穿設80個吐出孔464。 於第2實施形態中 一邊使基板W以500 rpm之速度旋 轉,一邊使設置有80個吐出孔464之清洗頭46〇在3〇秒内自 基板w之中心部起朝向端緣部掃描,並自各個吐出孔464 以40 m/s之液滴速度連續地吐出直徑為2〇 μιη之清洗液之 液滴,藉此可於30秒之比較短的實際處理時間内,均一地 清洗基板W之整個表面。 於以上所述結束基板W整個表面之均一之清洗處理後, 打開閥476,停止來自清洗頭460之液滴吐出,並藉由喷嘴 驅動部450使清洗頭460移動至避讓位置為止。繼而,提高 基板W之旋轉數,執行基板W之乾燥處理。於乾燥處理結 束後,停止基板w之旋轉,並且使防濺罩43〇下降,自旋 轉基座411上搬出處理後之基板w。藉此,基板清洗裝置 146585.doc -42- 201104729 4 01之一系列之處理動作結束。再者,清洗及乾燥處理中 之防濺罩430之位置,宜根據清洗液之回收或排液之必要 性而適當地變更。 <第3實施形態> 其次,對本發明之第3實施形態加以說明。第3實施形態 之基板清洗裝置之全體構成與第2實施形態大致相同(參照 圖15)。於裝置構成上第3實施形態與第2實施形態存在差 異:於清洗頭460上穿設60個吐出孔464。於第3實施形態 中,在清洗頭460之筒狀體461之底面,將60個吐出孔464 以特定之排列間隔排成一行之孔行NR設置1行。各吐出孔

表面吐出》於第3實施形態中,亦關閉閥476而提高筒狀體 461之内部之清洗液之液壓,並且藉由壓電元件462對上述 清洗液賦予振動。其結果為,可自6〇個吐出孔464生成並 吐出清洗液之液滴。 圖20係表示第3實施形態之清洗動作之圖。與第2實施形 態同樣地,自第3實施形態之清洗頭46〇之吐出孔464以4〇 m/s之直徑為20 之均一的清洗液之液滴連續地吐出直徑 146585.doc -43- 201104729 為2〇 μιη之均一的清洗液之液滴。又,自清洗頭460所吐出 之液滴之液滴直徑及液滴速度之不均較小,具體而言,液 滴直徑之分布以3σ計為2 μηι以下,液滴速度之分布以3(1計 為5 m/s以下。因此’可獲得有效之清洗力而又不會對基 板W造成損傷。 又,為均一地清洗基板W之整個表面,必須使液滴無縫 隙地與基板W之整個表面碰撞。為此,以基板w之圓周方 向上之液滴之碰撞間隔及半徑方向上之碰撞間隔均為液滴 直徑之1 /2以下(若液滴直徑為20 μιη,則為1 ο μπ!以下)的方 式,調節基板W之旋轉數及清洗頭460之掃描速度。 於基板W之圓周方向上,與第2實施形態同樣地,於基 板W之端緣部沿圓周方向之液滴之碰撞間隔若為液滴直徑 之1 /2以下、即1 〇 pm以下’則較其更靠内側之沿圓周方向 之液滴之碰撞間隔變得更密,不會產生縫隙。自吐出孔 464以20 μιη之液滴直徑、40 m/s之液滴速度連續吐出並與 基板w碰撞之鄰接的液滴之碰撞間隔為了變為1〇 ,將 Φ300 mm之基板W之旋轉數設為500 rpm即可。 於基板W之半徑方向上,亦與第2實施形態同樣地,必 須將鄰接之液滴之碰撞間隔設為1〇 μηι以下,為此,基板 w旋轉一次之期間清洗頭46〇沿半徑方向而移動之掃描距 離為10 μιη以下即可。基板w旋轉一次期間清洗頭46〇為沿 基板W之半徑方向而前進10 μηι,掃描速度必須設為〇〇83 mm/s。如上述所示:於清洗頭46〇上設置有單一之吐出孔 464之情形時,若清洗頭460之掃描速度設為〇.〇83 mm/s, 146585.doc 201104729 則清洗頭460自基板W之中心部起移動至端緣部為止需要 1800秒,並不實際。 於第3實施形態中,在清洗頭460上將60個吐出孔464設 置成一行。並且,如圖20所示,由60個吐出孔464排成一 行之孔行NR之長度方向、即吐出孔464之排列方向與基板 W之半徑方向一致。又,孔行NR之長度與基板W之半徑相 等。因此,即便清洗頭460之掃描速度為0.083 mm/s,只 要使清洗頭460沿基板W之半徑方向而以吐出孔464之排列 間隔進行掃描,即可遍及基板W之半徑方向之整個區域而 將鄰接之液滴的碰撞間隔設為10 μηι以下。該情形時,於 基板W之半徑方向上需要之清洗時間係根據吐出孔464之 排列間隔而規定。 於第3實施形態之清洗頭460上,以2.5 mm之間隔而設置 60個吐出孔464。因此,60個吐出孔464之兩端間之距離、 即孔行NR之長度為1 50 mm,與φ300 mm之基板W之半徑相 等。當開始清洗處理時,只要以60個吐出孔464之兩端位 於基板W之中心部與端緣部之方式使清洗頭460移動,使 清洗頭460以0.083

際處理時間内’將基板W之圓周方向上之液滴之碰撞間隔 及半徑方向上的碰撞間隔均設為液滴直徑之丨/2以下,且 可使液滴無縫隙地與基板W之整個表面碰撞,從而均一地 清洗整個表面。 <第2實施形態及第3實施形態之吐出孔排列之總結> 於第2實施形態中在清洗頭460上將20個吐出孔464配置4 行’藉此設置合計80個吐出孔464,於第3實施形態中在清 洗頭460上設置排成一行之60個吐出孔464。.又,如第2實 施形態之描述所示:為了於實際的一塊基板w之清洗處理 所允許之清洗時間即3 0秒之時間内使液滴無縫隙地與基板 W之整個表面碰撞而進行均一地清洗,必須於清洗頭4 6 〇 上穿設至少60以固定速度連續地吐出直徑固定之清洗液之 液滴的吐出孔464。 然而,當自清洗頭460吐出液滴時,自防護淋洗喷嘴480 向基板W之上表面吐出防護淋洗液而形成液膜,藉此缓和 液滴碰撞之緩衝,從而確實地防止對基板w造成損傷。於 第1實施形態中係將20個吐出孔464以特定之排列間隔排成 一行之孔行NR設置4行,但若此種由複數個吐出孔464排 146585.doc -46 - 201104729 成一行之孔行NR變為6行以上,則難以於所有吐出孔4料 之正下方形成液膜。若自吐出孔464所吐出之液滴碰撞未 形成液膜之區域,則該部分有可能產生損傷。因此,由複 數個吐出孔464排成一行之孔行NRi行數必須設置5行以 下。 另一方面,於第2實施形態中係將6〇個吐出孔464排成一 打而設置,但若排成一行之吐出孔464之個數超過6〇個, 貝J與上述同樣地,難以於所有吐出孔Μ#之正下方形成液 膜。又,若排成一行之吐出孔464之個數超過6〇個,則難 以自壓送泵472向所有吐出孔464以均等之壓力輸送清洗

The recovery position of the edge portion of the substrate w held by the shield rises and falls between the liquid discharge guide groove 431 and the liquid discharge position of the edge portion of the substrate w held by the rotary base 411. When the splash guard 430 is located at the recovery position (the position shown in FIG. 5), the cleaning liquid scattered from the edge portion of the substrate w is introduced into the recovery space 423 through the recovery liquid guiding portion 432, and is passed through the recovery tube. 428 and recycled. On the other hand, when the splash guard 430 is at the liquid discharge position, the cleaning liquid scattered from the edge portion of the substrate w is introduced into the liquid discharge space 422 by the liquid discharge guide groove 43 1 and is discharged through the liquid discharge pipe 427 and discharged. In this way, the discharge and recovery of the cleaning liquid can be switched and executed. Further, when the substrate is purchased and delivered to the spin base 411, the shroud lift drive mechanism 435 lowers the splash guard 43 to a position where the spin base 411 protrudes more than the upper end of the splash guard 430. The substrate cleaning apparatus 4A of the second embodiment further includes a protective rinse nozzle 480. The protective rinse nozzle 480 discharges the protective eluent (pure water in the present embodiment) sent from the protective eluent supply source (not shown) to the upper surface of the substrate W held by the rotary holding portion 410. The presence or absence of the discharge of the protective eluent from the protective rinse nozzle 480 and the discharge flow rate are adjusted by the control unit 490 controlling the flow rate adjustment valve of the transfer line. The nozzle driving unit 450 includes an elevation motor 451, a swing motor 453, and a nozzle arm 458. A cleaning head 460 is attached to the front end of the nozzle arm 458. The base end side of the nozzle arm 45 8 is coupled to the motor shaft 453a of the swing motor 453. Swing horse 146585.doc -32· 201104729 Up to 453 rotates the cleaning head 460 in the horizontal plane centered on the motor shaft 453a. The swing motor 453 is attached to the lift base 454. The lift base 454 is screwed onto the ball screw 452 directly coupled to the motor shaft of the fixed lift motor 45 1 and slidably mounted on the guide member 455. When the lift motor 45 1 rotates the ball screw 45 2, the cleaning head 460 and the lift base 454 are lifted and lowered. The cleaning head 460 is moved between the escape position outside the splash guard 430 and the cleaning position above the spin base 4 i i by the lift motor 45 1 of the nozzle drive unit 450 and the swing motor 453. Further, the cleaning head 46 is placed above the spin base 411, and is swung between the upper portion of the substrate W and the upper portion of the edge portion by the swing motor 453. Further, the control unit 490 controls various operation mechanisms provided on the substrate cleaning device 4A. The hardware of the control unit 490 is constructed in the same manner as a normal computer. In other words, the control unit 490 includes a memory for performing various arithmetic processing, R〇M, which is a memory for reading basic memory programs, and a memory for reading and writing various memories, such as RAM and memory control software or data. dish. Fig. 16 is a view showing a schematic configuration of a cleaning head 460 according to the second embodiment. 17 is a perspective view of the cleaning head 460. The cleaning head 46 is formed by attaching a piezoelectric element (piezoelectric element) 462 to a tubular body 461 having a quadrangular prism shape. The / month shampoo 460 is attached to the front end of the nozzle arm 458 via a resin holder 463. Further, the holder 463 is omitted in FIG. A hollow space is formed inside the quadrangular prism-shaped cylindrical body 461, 146585.doc -33, 201104729 and an opening is formed at both ends thereof. In the second embodiment, the tubular body 461 is formed of quartz, but may be formed of a ceramic such as oxidized (ZrO 2 ). In the second embodiment, 80 discharge holes (nozzles) 464 are bored in the bottom surface of the cylindrical body 461 of the cleaning head 460. Fig. 1 is a plan view showing the arrangement of the discharge holes 464 in the second embodiment, and is a plan view from the bottom view cylindrical body 461. As shown in Fig. 18, on the bottom surface of the cylindrical body 461, 20 rows of holes NR are arranged in a row at a predetermined interval. A total of eight discharge holes 464 are provided on the bottom surface of the cylindrical body 461 by arranging four discharge holes 464 in four rows. Each of the discharge holes 464 is formed in a substantially circular shape passing through the bottom wall surface of the tubular body 461. The diameter (pore diameter) of the 80 discharge holes 464 is uniform, and is 15 μm in the second embodiment. Further, a piezoelectric element 462 is attached to the outer surface of the upper surface of the cylindrical body 461 (the wall surface facing the wall surface on which the eight discharge holes 464 are provided). The piezoelectric element 462 is electrically connected to a power source 465 having a high frequency generator. The power source 465 applies an alternating voltage of a specific frequency to the piezoelectric element 462. One end side opening of the inner space of the cylindrical body 461 is connected to the cleaning liquid supply source 471 via the supply pipe 47A. A pressure feed pump 472 and a filter 473 are inserted in the middle of the path of the supply pipe 47A. The pressure feed pump 472 pressurizes the cleaning liquid (pure water in the present embodiment) from the cleaning liquid supply source 471 toward the cleaning head 460. The filter 473 removes foreign matter contained in the cleaning liquid supplied from the cleaning liquid supply source 471. On the other hand, a discharge pipe 475 is connected to the other end side opening of the inner space of the cylindrical body 461. A valve 476 is inserted in the middle of the path of the discharge pipe 475. When the cleaning liquid is supplied from the supply pipe 47 to the inner space 146585.doc •34·201104729 of the cylindrical body 461, the valve 476 is opened to discharge the cleaning liquid. Then, from the discharge pipe 475 to the outside of the apparatus, the second operation of the substrate cleaning apparatus 4〇1 having the above configuration will be described. The processing operation described below is performed by the control unit A% executing the specific cleaning processing software, and the substrate cleaning device is controlled by the respective mechanisms. 19 is a diagram showing the cleaning operation of the substrate cleaning device of the second embodiment. . First, when the splash guard 430 is lowered and the rotating base 411 is pulled out from the splash guard 43 to the upper side, the substrate is delivered to the rotating base, and the splash guard 430 is raised to the above discharge position. And the nozzle driving unit 450 moves the cleaning head 46A to the cleaning position above the substrate* held by the rotating base 4ΐ. At the cleaning position, the interval between the plurality of discharge holes 464 of the cleaning head 460 and the substrate W is set to be 5 mm or more and 25 mm or less. When the field is not subjected to the cleaning process, the cleaning liquid is continuously supplied from the pressure feed pump 472 to the cleaning head 460. When the cleaning process is not performed, the valve is opened, and the cleaning liquid sent to the inside of the cylindrical body 461 is directly discharged from the discharge pipe 475 to the outside of the apparatus. That is, when the cleaning head 460 is in standby position at a position further away from the splash guard 430, and when moving from the avoidance position to the cleaning position above the substrate W, the cleaning liquid is continuously supplied to the cleaning head 460, and the cleaning liquid is supplied. Continue to drain to the outside of the unit. Secondly, the rotation of the substrate W is started by the rotation holding portion 410, and the protective eluent is discharged from the protective rinsing nozzle 480 to the upper surface of the rotating substrate to form a liquid film. Then, the cleaning liquid is cleaned from the cleaning head 46. The droplets are discharged toward the upper surface of the substrate W which is rotated 146585.doc -35·201104729. At this time, the cleaning liquid may be discharged from the processing liquid nozzle 418 toward the lower surface of the substrate W. Further, as shown in Fig. 7 (7), while the substrate W is rotated, the cleaning process is continuously performed by scanning the cleaning head between the upper portion of the substrate W and the upper portion of the edge portion by the nozzle driving portion. When the cleaning process is performed, the valve 476 is closed while the cleaning liquid is thoroughly supplied to the cleaning head. Therefore, the liquid pressure of the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 461 rises, whereby the cleaning liquid is discharged from the 80 discharge holes 464. Further, when the cleaning process is performed, the power source 465 applies the voltage of the specific frequency to the piezoelectric element 462. Thereby, the piezoelectric element 咐 repeats the expansion and imparts a vibration of a specific frequency to the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 461. When the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid in the inside of the cylindrical body 461 is increased and vibration is applied to the cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid which has flowed out from the eight discharge holes 4M by the hydraulic pressure is dispersed and separated by vibration, and the cleaning liquid is generated and discharged. Droplets. Here, the flow of the liquid flowing out from the discharge port 464 is separated to form a droplet by the following process. The cleaning liquid is supplied to the inside of the cylindrical body 461 by maintaining a constant pressure or a relatively small range of pressure (D.C. pressure, DC pressure). The self-discharging hole 464 flows out of the cleaning liquid at substantially the same discharge rate from the 8 吐 discharge holes 藉 by the above pressure. When an AC voltage of a specific frequency fixed to the piezoelectric element 462 is applied in this state, the liquid flow is dispersed by the generated vibration, and the liquid droplets are separated. Here, the supply pressure of the cleaning liquid supplied by the pressure feed pump 472 and the frequency of the alternating current applied to the piezoelectric element 462 are values other than the normal operation range of the so-called continuous ink jet apparatus. The contaminant such as particles adhering to the substrate w is physically removed by the kinetic energy of the droplets ejected from the cleaning head 46 物理 physics 146585.doc • 36· 201104729. Further, the liquid scattered on the substrate w which is rotated by the centrifugal force is introduced into the liquid discharge space 422 by the liquid discharge guiding groove 43 i, and is discharged from the liquid discharge pipe 427. Here, the control unit 490 controls the pressure feed pump 472 to adjust the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 461, and controls the power supply 465 to adjust the vibration applied to the cleaning liquid. Thus, the liquid discharged from the 80 discharge holes 464 can be specified. The discharge condition (parameter) of the drop. In the second embodiment, the diameter (droplet diameter) of the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid discharged from the 80 discharge holes 464 toward the substrate W is 20 μm. Here, the droplet diameters of all the droplets ejected from the 80 ejection holes 464 are not always 20 μm. However, the droplet diameter of the droplets ejected by the embodiment is extremely small. . Specifically, the distribution of the droplet diameters is concentrated to 2 μηι or less in terms of 3σ (σ is a standard deviation), and it is considered that droplets of the cleaning liquid having a substantially constant diameter (2 μm) are discharged from the 80 discharge holes 464. Further, in the second embodiment, the speed (droplet velocity) of the cleaning liquid discharged from the 80 discharge holes 464 toward the substrate w is 40 m/s. Similarly to the droplet diameter, the droplet velocity of all the droplets ejected from the 80 ejection holes 64 is not always 40 m/s, but the droplets of the droplets discharged by the embodiment are discharged. The uneven speed is extremely small. Specifically, the distribution of the droplet velocities is concentrated to 5 m/s or less in terms of 3 σ, and it is considered that the droplets of the cleaning liquid are discharged from the 80 discharge holes 64 substantially at a fixed speed (40 m/s). As described above, the discharge holes 464 of the cleaning head 460 of the second embodiment continuously discharge droplets of the cleaning liquid having a uniform diameter of 20 μm at a fixed droplet velocity of 40 m/s. The unevenness of the droplet diameter and the droplet velocity of the discharged droplets 146585.doc • 37- 201104729 can be in a small range because the piezoelectric element 462 is filled with high pressure to the inside of the cylindrical body 461. The cleaning liquid imparts vibration and is discharged from a plurality of discharge holes 464. That is, in the previous two-fluid nozzle, the pressurized gas collides with the liquid to generate droplets, so that the droplets are discharged as a multiphase flow with the gas, and the control becomes difficult 'and the droplet diameter of the droplets And the droplet velocity is also widely distributed and uneven. On the other hand, in the cleaning head 460 of the second embodiment, the liquid is pressurized from the plurality of discharge holes 464 while imparting vibration to the pressurized liquid, so that only the droplets can be ejected, and the droplet diameter of the droplets can be made. The droplet velocity distribution is narrower and the unevenness is smaller. When a droplet of a cleaning liquid having a droplet diameter of 2 〇 μ η is discharged at a droplet velocity of 40 m/s, an effective cleaning force can be obtained without causing damage to the substrate w. That is, if the diameter of the droplet is too large or the droplet velocity is too fast, the substrate W is damaged by the collision of the droplet. Conversely, if the diameter of the droplet is too small or the droplet velocity is too slow, the necessary cleaning force cannot be obtained. The condition of ejecting a droplet of a droplet diameter of 20 μπΐ2 in a cleaning liquid at a droplet velocity of 4 〇m/s is a process of cleaning the semiconductor substrate W, and an effective cleaning force is obtained without causing damage to the substrate W. Preferred droplet conditions. Further, the droplet diameter and the droplet velocity distribution of the liquid droplets discharged from the discharge holes 464 of the cleaning head 46 of the second embodiment are extremely narrow. Therefore, unnecessary droplets which are not useful for cleaning or harmful droplets which cause damage to the substrate W are completely absent, and the cleaning efficiency can be surely improved without causing damage to the substrate w. Further, the substrate cleaning device 401 discharges the protective eluent from the protective rinsing nozzle 48 to the upper surface of the rotating substrate W to form a liquid film. The self-cleaning head "❹所146585.doc -38- 201104729 The discharged liquid droplet collides with the upper surface of the substrate w through the liquid film of the protective eluent. If the liquid film is not present, the cleaning head 460 is brought into the state. If the droplet directly collides with the substrate W, it may damage the substrate W, but by forming a liquid film of the protective eluent, the buffer of the droplet is alleviated to prevent damage to the substrate w. Thus, if the droplet diameter is The droplets of the cleaning solution fixed at 20 μm are spouted to the substrate W at a fixed droplet velocity of 40 m/s, so that an effective cleaning force can be obtained without causing damage to the substrate, which is required in the actual cleaning process. The entire surface of the substrate W is uniformly cleaned for a specific period of time. Here, it is assumed that i discharge holes 464 are provided in the cleaning head 460, and continuous flow rates of 40 m/s are continuously applied to the single discharge holes 464. When discharging a droplet of a cleaning liquid having a droplet diameter of 2 μm, the cleaning time required for uniformly cleaning the entire surface of the substrate W having a diameter of 3 〇〇 claws is considered. First, in order to uniformly clean the entire substrate w Surface, need to make droplets The seamless gap collides with the entire surface of the substrate W. For this purpose, the droplets are required to collide with the substrate w while overlapping the droplet diameter by 1/2 or more, specifically, the droplets in the circumferential direction of the substrate W. The collision interval and the collision interval in the radial direction are both 1/2 or less of the droplet diameter (10 μm or less if the droplet diameter is 2 〇μηι), and the number of rotations of the substrate and the scanning speed of the cleaning head 460 are adjusted. In the circumferential direction of the substrate W, the closer to the outer circumference, the larger the rotation speed is, and the speed of the edge portion is the largest. The collision interval of the droplets in the circumferential direction at the edge portion of the substrate W is 1/ of the droplet diameter. 2 or less, that is, 1 〇μπι or less, the collision interval of the droplets in the circumferential direction is more dense than the inner side of the sin. The gap between the droplets becomes 146585.doc •39·201104729. If the gap is 1 5 μπι The hole 464 continuously ejects a droplet of the cleaning liquid having a diameter of 20 μm at a droplet velocity of 40 m/s, and the distance between the centers of the adjacent droplets continuously discharged from the same ejection hole 464 is 52 μπ^. , continuously spit out and at 4〇m/s The collision interval between the droplets whose droplet velocity collides with the substrate w becomes 10 μm, so the rotation speed of the edge portion of the substrate w is 7.8 m/s, and the number of rotations of the substrate W corresponding to φ 300 mm is 5 〇〇 rpm. That is, if the number of rotations of the substrate| is 5 rpm or less, the collision interval of the droplets in the circumferential direction of the substrate w may be 1/2 or less of the diameter of the droplet. Next, the radius of the substrate W In the direction, the collision interval between the adjacent droplets must be 10 μm or less. Therefore, the scanning distance of the cleaning head 460 in the radial direction during the rotation of the substrate w may be 1 μm or less. Furthermore, the cleaning head 460 strictly scans the arc-shaped track by the nozzle driving unit 45. Since the radius of the arc is sufficiently large, the cleaning head 460 can be approximated along the substrate. Scan in a radial direction and in a straight line. According to the above conditions, if the number of rotations of the substrate W is 500 rpm, the time required for the substrate W to rotate once is 〇12 seconds, and during the period in which the cleaning head 46 is advanced by 1 μm in the radial direction of the substrate W, the scanning speed is required. Set to 〇mm/S. In other words, when the scanning speed of the cleaning head 460 is set to 〇〇83 mm/s while the number of rotations of the substrate W is 50 rpm, the collision interval and the radial direction of the liquid droplets in the circumferential direction of the substrate w can be obtained. The upper collision interval is set to be 1 /2 or less of the straight position of the liquid droplet, and the liquid droplet can be collided seamlessly with the entire surface of the substrate w. However, if the scanning speed of the cleaning head 460 is set to 〇.〇83 146585.doc 201104729 mm/s, the cleaning head 46 is moved from the center of the φ3〇〇mm substrate (ie, the center of the radius 丨^ claw (4) to 1800 seconds is required for the edge portion. The required time for the 18-second period is uniformly performed by colliding the droplets with the entire surface of the substrate W by the cleaning head 46 provided with one discharge hole 464. The theoretical minimum time required for cleaning. In the actual semiconductor manufacturing process, the cleaning time of one substrate|the processing time is about 30 seconds (60 seconds longer), and the cleaning time of 1800 seconds is not possible without sound. In order to set the cleaning time to seconds, it is theoretically necessary to provide 60 discharge holes 464 in the cleaning head 460. The above-mentioned method is used to estimate the discharge holes 464 required for uniformly cleaning one substrate w in 30 seconds. The number is 60 theoretical values, and the area covered by one of the discharge holes 464 can be properly calculated. ~ If the cleaning head is biased from the center of the substrate W, the scanning required to move to the edge portion is picked up. The time is set to the actual value of 3 sec. The number of rotations is set to 5 rpm, and the length of the trace of the cleaning head 460 drawn in the scan time of 3 sec is calculated as 丨 178 〇 9 5 mm. The length of the trajectory is divided by the diameter of the droplet. The value is estimated as the cleaning area covered by one discharge hole 464 during the scanning period of the second, which is 2356.19〇2. The area of the cleaning surface of the substrate of φ鸠咖 is recommended to be 5.83 face 2, and the droplet must be 1 of the diameter. /2 cleaning necessary for overlap = product can be regarded as twice the area of the cleaning surface of the substrate w, i.e. i4i37i 匪 2. The necessary cleaning area is (4) 6 times the cleaning area covered by the discharge hole ,, cleaning During the scanning period of 3 Gsec from the center portion of the substrate to the end edge portion, in the scanning period of 3 Gsec, in order to clean the entire surface of the substrate w, it is necessary to provide six ejection holes 464 in the cleaning head 460. 146585. Doc •41 - 201104729 As described above, in order to prevent the droplets from colliding seamlessly with the entire surface of the substrate w in a cleaning time of 30 seconds for the cleaning process of one substrate w in practice, the cleaning is uniformly performed, At least 60 fixed speeds must be set on the cleaning head 46〇 The discharge hole 464 of the droplet of the cleaning liquid having a fixed diameter is continuously discharged. However, the cleaning time of the entire surface of the substrate W can be uniformly washed by the discharge hole 464, which is theoretically calculated. The value actually takes a longer time for various reasons of variation. According to the investigation by the inventors of the present invention, it has been found that the entire surface of the substrate W is uniformly cleaned by a single ejection hole 464, and it takes about 2400 seconds to actually clean. In order to make the actually required cleaning time 30 seconds, it is preferable to provide 80 discharge holes 464 on the cleaning head 46. In the second embodiment, 80 discharge holes 464 are bored in the cleaning head 460 for this reason. In the second embodiment, while the substrate W is rotated at a speed of 500 rpm, the cleaning head 46 provided with the 80 discharge holes 464 is scanned from the center portion of the substrate w toward the edge portion within 3 seconds. The droplets of the cleaning liquid having a diameter of 2 μm are continuously discharged from the respective ejection holes 464 at a droplet velocity of 40 m/s, whereby the substrate W can be uniformly cleaned in a relatively short actual processing time of 30 seconds. The entire surface. After the uniform cleaning process of the entire surface of the substrate W is completed as described above, the valve 476 is opened to stop the discharge of the liquid droplets from the cleaning head 460, and the cleaning head 460 is moved to the evacuation position by the nozzle driving unit 450. Then, the number of rotations of the substrate W is increased, and the drying process of the substrate W is performed. After the drying process is completed, the rotation of the substrate w is stopped, and the splash cover 43 is lowered, and the processed substrate w is carried out from the spin base 411. Thereby, the processing operation of one of the substrate cleaning devices 146585.doc - 42 - 201104729 4 01 ends. Further, the position of the splash cover 430 in the cleaning and drying process should be appropriately changed depending on the necessity of recovery or discharge of the cleaning liquid. <Third Embodiment> Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The overall configuration of the substrate cleaning apparatus of the third embodiment is substantially the same as that of the second embodiment (see Fig. 15). The third embodiment differs from the second embodiment in the configuration of the device: 60 discharge holes 464 are bored in the cleaning head 460. In the third embodiment, on the bottom surface of the cylindrical body 461 of the cleaning head 460, a row of holes NR in which a plurality of discharge holes 464 are arranged at a predetermined interval is provided in one row. Similarly to the second embodiment, each of the discharge holes 464 has a substantially cylindrical shape penetrating through the bottom wall surface of the cylindrical body 461, and has a pore diameter of 15 μm. The configuration remaining except for the arrangement of the discharge holes 464 is the same as that of the second embodiment. The operation sequence of the substrate cleaning apparatus according to the third embodiment is also substantially the same as that of the second embodiment. In other words, the protective eluent is discharged from the protective rinse nozzle 48 to the upper surface of the substrate w that is rotated by the rotation holding portion 410 to form a liquid film, and the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid are directed from the cleaning head 460 toward the substrate w. In the third embodiment, the valve 476 is closed to increase the hydraulic pressure of the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 461, and the piezoelectric element 462 applies vibration to the cleaning liquid. As a result, droplets of the cleaning liquid can be generated and discharged from the six ejection holes 464. Fig. 20 is a view showing the cleaning operation of the third embodiment. In the same manner as in the second embodiment, the discharge hole 464 of the cleaning head 46 of the third embodiment continuously discharges a droplet of 146585.doc -43- with a uniform cleaning liquid droplet of a diameter of 4 〇m/s. 201104729 is a uniform cleaning solution of 2〇μιη. Further, the droplet diameter and the droplet velocity of the droplets ejected from the cleaning head 460 are small, and specifically, the droplet diameter distribution is 2 μηι or less in terms of 3σ, and the droplet velocity distribution is 3 ( 1 is 5 m/s or less. Therefore, an effective cleaning force can be obtained without causing damage to the substrate W. Further, in order to uniformly clean the entire surface of the substrate W, it is necessary to make the droplets seamlessly and the substrate W For this purpose, the collision interval between the droplets in the circumferential direction of the substrate w and the collision interval in the radial direction are both 1 / 2 or less of the droplet diameter (if the droplet diameter is 20 μπη, it is 1). The number of rotations of the substrate W and the scanning speed of the cleaning head 460 are adjusted in the circumferential direction of the substrate W. In the circumferential direction of the substrate W, droplets in the circumferential direction at the edge portion of the substrate W are formed in the same manner as in the second embodiment. If the collision interval is 1 /2 or less of the droplet diameter, that is, 1 〇 pm or less, the collision interval of the droplets in the circumferential direction closer to the inside becomes denser, and no gap is formed. The self-discharge hole 464 Continuous spit at a droplet diameter of 20 μm and a droplet velocity of 40 m/s In order to change the collision interval between the adjacent droplets that collide with the substrate w, the number of rotations of the substrate W of Φ300 mm may be 500 rpm. In the radial direction of the substrate W, the second embodiment is also used. Similarly, it is necessary to set the collision interval of the adjacent droplets to 1 μm or less. Therefore, the scanning distance of the cleaning head 46 〇 in the radial direction during the rotation of the substrate w may be 10 μm or less. The cleaning head 46 is advanced by 10 μm in the radial direction of the substrate W during one time, and the scanning speed must be set to 〇〇83 mm/s. As shown above, a single ejection hole 464 is provided on the cleaning head 46A. When the scanning speed of the cleaning head 460 is set to 〇.〇83 mm/s, 146585.doc 201104729, it takes 1800 seconds for the cleaning head 460 to move from the center portion of the substrate W to the edge portion, which is not practical. In the third embodiment, 60 discharge holes 464 are provided in a row on the cleaning head 460. Further, as shown in Fig. 20, the length of the hole row NR, which is a row of 60 discharge holes 464, is the discharge hole 464. The alignment direction is consistent with the radial direction of the substrate W Further, the length of the hole row NR is equal to the radius of the substrate W. Therefore, even if the scanning speed of the cleaning head 460 is 0.083 mm/s, the cleaning heads 460 are arranged at intervals of the discharge holes 464 along the radial direction of the substrate W. Scanning is performed so that the collision interval of adjacent droplets is 10 μm or less over the entire region in the radial direction of the substrate W. In this case, the cleaning time required in the radial direction of the substrate W is arranged according to the ejection holes 464. In the cleaning head 460 of the third embodiment, 60 discharge holes 464 are provided at intervals of 2.5 mm. Therefore, the distance between both ends of the 60 discharge holes 464, that is, the length of the hole row NR is 1 50 mm, which is equal to the radius of the substrate W of φ 300 mm. When the cleaning process is started, the cleaning head 460 is moved so that both ends of the 60 discharge holes 464 are located at the center portion and the edge portion of the substrate W, so that the cleaning head 460 is along the substrate W at a scanning speed of 0.083 mm/s. Scanning in the radial direction can shift the arrangement interval by 2.5 mm in 30 seconds, and can set the collision interval of adjacent droplets to 10 μηι or less throughout the entire radial direction of the substrate W. As described above, in the third embodiment, 60 discharge holes 464 are formed in a row at intervals of 2.5 mm on the cleaning head 460, and the arrangement of 60 discharge holes 464 and the radius of the substrate W are started when the cleaning process is started. The direction is anastomosed and the two 146585.doc -45- 201104729 are disposed in such a manner that the discharge hole 464 is located at the center portion and the end edge portion of the substrate W, so that the cleaning head 460 is moved. Then, while the speed of the substrate Wa5 is rotated, the cleaning head 460 which sets the 60 discharge holes 464 in one row is carried out in the radial direction of the substrate W at a speed of 0 〇 83 mm/s in 30 seconds. Scanning was performed, and droplets of the cleaning liquid having a diameter of 20 μm were continuously discharged from the respective discharge holes 464 at a droplet velocity of 40 m/s. Thereby, the collision interval between the droplets in the circumferential direction of the substrate W and the collision interval in the radial direction can be set to 丨/2 or less of the droplet diameter in a relatively short actual processing time of 3 sec. The droplets can be made to collide seamlessly with the entire surface of the substrate W, thereby uniformly cleaning the entire surface. <Summary of the arrangement of the discharge holes in the second embodiment and the third embodiment> In the second embodiment, the 20 discharge holes 464 are arranged in four rows on the cleaning head 460. Thus, a total of 80 discharge holes 464 are provided. In the third embodiment, 60 discharge holes 464 are arranged in a row on the cleaning head 460. Further, as described in the second embodiment, in order to allow the droplets to collide with the entire surface of the substrate W without gaps in the cleaning time allowed for the cleaning process of the actual substrate w, that is, 30 seconds. To uniformly clean, it is necessary to pass at least 60 discharge holes 464 for continuously discharging the droplets of the cleaning liquid having a fixed diameter at a fixed speed on the cleaning head 46 〇. However, when the liquid droplets are ejected from the cleaning head 460, the protective eluent is discharged from the protective rinsing nozzle 480 to the upper surface of the substrate W to form a liquid film, thereby mitigating the buffer of the droplet collision, thereby reliably preventing the substrate w. Cause damage. In the first embodiment, the plurality of discharge holes 464 are arranged in a row at a predetermined interval, and the rows NR are arranged in four rows. However, if such a plurality of discharge holes 464 are arranged in a row, 146585.doc -46 - 201104729 When the hole row NR becomes 6 rows or more, it is difficult to form a liquid film directly under the material of all the discharge holes 4. If the droplets ejected from the ejection holes 464 collide with the region where the liquid film is not formed, there is a possibility that the portion is damaged. Therefore, the number of rows of holes in which the number of rows of holes is arranged by a plurality of discharge holes 464 must be set to 5 lines or less. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, six ejection holes 464 are arranged in a single row. However, if the number of the ejection holes 464 arranged in a row exceeds six, the same is difficult for the above-described case J. A liquid film is formed directly under all the spout holes #. Further, when the number of the discharge holes 464 arranged in a row exceeds 6, it is difficult to transport the cleaning liquid from the discharge port 464 to the discharge pressure by the pressure feed pump 472 at an equal pressure. Therefore, the number of the discharge holes 464 arranged in a line must be 6 or less. According to these aspects, if the arrangement of the discharge holes 464 provided in the cleaning head 46A is summarized, it is necessary to set at least the cleaning head 46〇 from the viewpoint of shortening the cleaning processing time to the actually allowable range. 6 吐 a spit hole 464. Further, in order to form a liquid film for the protective eluent directly under all the discharge holes 464, and the cleaning liquid is supplied from the pressure feed pump 472 to the discharge holes 464 at equal pressure, the upper limit of the discharge holes 464 arranged in one line is 6 One, the upper limit of the hole line is 5 lines. In other words, the number of holes in which the six or more discharge holes 464 are arranged in a row on the cleaning head 46 is required to be 5 lines or less, and the upper limit of the total number of the discharge holes 464 is three. Therefore, the total number of the discharge holes 464 provided in the cleaning head 46A is limited to 60 or more and 3 or less. In the above, the second embodiment and the third embodiment of the present invention have been described. However, various changes may be made in addition to the above, except that the above-mentioned various modifications can be made to 146585.doc.47.201104729. For example, in the second embodiment, 20 discharge holes 464 are arranged in four rows on the cleaning head 46A. In the third embodiment, 60 earth outlet holes 464 are arranged in one row, but the discharge is provided on the cleaning head. The arrangement form of the holes is not limited to these, and may be other forms as long as it is within the above-described limit. In other words, as long as the total number of the discharge holes 464 provided in the cleaning head 460 is 60 or more and 3 or less, and the rows of holes in which one row of the discharge holes 464 are discharged are arranged in five or less rows, the cuteness is used. Arbitrary arrangement. Further, in the substrate cleaning apparatus 401 of the second and third embodiments, the cleaning liquid is supplied to the cleaning head 46A when the cleaning process is not performed, and the cleaning liquid is discharged to the outside of the apparatus, but may be configured as a circulation system. #, the piping on the downstream side of the valve 476 may be connected to the cleaning liquid supply source 471 via a filter, and the cleaning liquid from the cleaning head 460 may be returned to the cleaning liquid supply source 47. In the second and third embodiments, In the cleaning head 46, a plurality of discharge holes are formed in the cylindrical body 461 having a quadrangular prism shape, but the form of the cleaning head 460 is not limited thereto. Fig. 21 is a view showing another example of the cleaning head. The cleaning head 560 of Fig. 21 is configured such that a plurality of discharge holes 564 are formed in the wall surface of the cylindrical tubular body 560, and the piezoelectric element 562 is attached to the outer wall surface of the portion opposite to the plurality of discharge holes 564. Openings are formed at both ends of the hollow space of the cylindrical body 561. Similarly to the second and third embodiments, one end is connected to the supply occupant 470, and the other end is connected to the discharge pipe 475 (see Fig. 16). The cylindrical body 561 is formed of ceramic such as quartz or yttrium oxide. 146585.doc •48-201104729. The overall configuration of the substrate cleaning apparatus having the cylindrical cleaning head 560 is the same as that of the second embodiment. When the cleaning liquid is continuously supplied to the cleaning head 5 6 ’ to perform the cleaning process, the valve 476 is closed, whereby the cleaning liquid is discharged from the plurality of discharge holes 564. Further, when the cleaning process is performed, the piezoelectric element 562 applies vibration to the cleaning liquid inside the cylindrical body 561. Thereby, the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid can be generated from the plurality of discharge holes 564 under the same conditions (droplet diameter 2 〇 μηι, droplet velocity 40 m/s) as in the second and third embodiments. Further, by arranging a plurality of discharge holes 564 in the same manner as in the second and third embodiments, the liquid droplets can be collided seamlessly with the entire surface of the substrate W in a relatively short actual processing time, thereby uniformly Clean the entire surface. However, if a plurality of rows of holes are provided in the cylindrical cylindrical body 561, it is difficult to uniformly maintain the distance from the discharge holes 564 to the substrate w. Therefore, when a plurality of rows of holes are provided, it is preferable to The cylindrical body 561 of 21 is set in parallel with a plurality of roots. Further, as a form of the cleaning head, a plurality of discharge holes may be provided in the cylindrical body other than the shape shown in Figs. 17 and 21, and the liquid droplets of the cleaning liquid may be ejected toward the substrate W from the plurality of discharge holes. . Further, in the third embodiment, six ejection holes 464 5 are arranged in a row on the cleaning head 46A. However, in order to prevent damage from being concentrated on the center portion of the substrate w, the ejection hole 464 may be used. The closer to the center, the smaller the aperture. Further, the substrate to be processed by the substrate cleaning apparatus of the present invention is not limited to a semiconductor substrate, and may be a glass substrate 146585.doc • 49-201104729 for a liquid crystal display device or the like. Further, the cleaning liquid is not limited to pure water, and may be an aqueous solution of a chemical for cleaning. Further, it is not limited to the pure water of the protective eluent, and may be an aqueous solution of a chemical. The protective eluent can be of the same type or different type as the cleaning solution. Further, the entire configuration of the substrate cleaning apparatus 401 is not limited to the configuration of Fig. 15. For example, a gas nozzle that discharges nitrogen gas to the substrate 1 after the cleaning process may be provided.
