Description of the Invention (ί) The present invention relates to a method for cleaning wafers, and more particularly to a method for cleaning and cleaning wafers. Drying can shorten the time of the rinsing process and increase the productivity. It is known that during the cleaning process of 8-inch wafers, a large number of IPA's evaporation / drying machines (Vapor / Dry, V / D) are used, but because the time required for the procedure is too long, the entire machine is Taiwan's production capacity declined. FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of steps for wafer cleaning. Please refer to FIG. 1. First, the wafer 10 is placed in the first rinsing bath 12 containing a chemical cleaning agent, and the time is about 5 minutes. Then, the wafer 10 is taken out and then placed in deionized water. In the second washing bath, the soaking time is about 5 minutes. Then, the wafer 10 is taken out of the second rinsing bath 14 and then placed in the third rinsing bath 16 for about 5 minutes. After that, the wafer 10 is moved to the evaporation and drying machine 18 to perform the evaporation and drying steps. In the evaporation and drying machine 18, the evaporation time is about 6 minutes and the drying time is about 6 minutes. The wafer 10 is moved to the loading and unloading device 20, and thus the cleaning step of the wafer 10 is completed. Due to the conventional method, the residence time of the wafer 10 in the first, second, and third rinsing baths 12, 14 and 16 is only about 5 minutes, while it stays in the evaporation and drying machine 18. It takes about 12 minutes. When the cleaning process is performed again, when the first batch of wafers is moved from the first cleaning tank 12 to the second cleaning tank 14, the second batch of wafers can enter the first cleaning tank 12 and start cleaning. Step, the entire process can be carried out in multiple batches of wafer cleaning. But 'because the time spent on the 18 wafers in the evaporation and drying machine is much longer than the time spent in other cleaning tanks. When the third cleaning tank 16 3 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling (This page) mi-binding. Staple.

Description of the invention (1) When the second batch of wafers has completed the cleaning step, the first batch of wafers will be evaporated and dried on the machine 18; in this way, the subsequent wafers to be cleaned must wait for evaporation and drying. The wafer in the drying machine is removed, and the evaporation and drying process cannot be smoothly performed. Therefore, the time spent in the evaporation and drying machine 18 is the bottleneck of the entire cleaning process, which affects the entire production capacity and the maximum capacity of the entire production capacity is reduced. It is 230pcs / hour. Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for cleaning wafers, reducing the time spent on evaporation and drying machines, in order to dissolve the stagnation of the wafers during the cleaning process, so that the same process time Within, get the production capacity of Che Fuwen. According to the above and other objects of the present invention, a method for degreasing wafers is proposed. The drying part in the evaporation and drying machine is divided into two stages. The first stage is still performed in the evaporation and drying machine, and the second stage moves to Drying in the loading and unloading device shortens the total time that the wafer stays in the evaporation and drying machine, and reduces the stagnation of the wafer during the cleaning process, which can increase the production capacity to about 300pcs / hour, which is higher than the conventional production capacity. About 20 ~ 30%. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible ', a preferred embodiment is given below, and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the detailed description is as follows: Brief description of the drawings: FIG. 1 shows Flow chart of steps for wafer cleaning.

Description of the invention (j) 14 Second cleaning tank 16 Third cleaning tank 18 Evaporation and drying machine 20 Loading and unloading device gMM- Please Referring to FIG. 1, the wafer washing and drying process is still the same as shown in the figure. 'First, the wafer 10 is placed in the first washing tank 12, and the tank contains reactive chemicals to carry out the process. The chemical decontamination time is about 5 minutes. Next, the wafer 10 is taken out from the first decontamination tank 12 and then placed in the second decontamination tank 14. The chemicals remaining on the wafer 10 are removed, and the soaking time is about 5 minutes. After that, the wafer 10 is taken out of the second decontamination tank 14 and then placed in the third decontamination tank 16 for further decontamination. The wafer 10 is about 5 minutes. Next, the wafer 10 is moved from the third guessing and washing tank 16 to the evaporation and drying machine 18 ′. The evaporation and drying steps are performed. In the evaporation and drying machine 18, the evaporation time is about 6 minutes, and the drying time in the first stage is about 3 minutes. Then, the wafer 10 is moved to the loading and unloading device 20 for The drying step in the second stage takes about 3 to 5 minutes. At this point, the cleaning step of the wafer 10 is completed, and the wafer 10 is removed from the loading and unloading device 20. In the present invention, the evaporation The drying step is divided into two stages. The drying step in the first stage is still carried out in the evaporation and drying machine, and the second stage is moved to the loading and unloading device. The entire drying process is based on the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications ( 2 丨 OX297mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page).

Description of the invention (f) The process takes the same time as it is known It may take longer, but the time for the wafers to stay in the evaporation and drying machine is shortened, so that the wafers that have been washed in the third cleaning tank, the waiting time for entering the evaporation and drying machine is shortened, which can greatly reduce Increase the capacity of the entire cleaning process, the maximum capacity is about 300pcs / hour, which is about 20% ~ 30% higher than the capacity obtained by the conventional method. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, it is not It is used to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and retouches without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be defined as the scope of the attached patent (谙 Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) • Packing.
