Description of the invention (/) Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a method for cleaning a wafer after a chemical mechanical polishing process, in particular to use a chemical solution to wash off the surface of the wafer and remove the infiltrated wafer Surface metal ion method. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: Chemical-Mechanical Polishing, referred to as CMP for short, is a new technology most commonly used in the global semi-conductor process for global planarization of the crystal garden surface. The main technical principle is that Sun Yuan placed the grinding table on the CMP (not shown in the figure) and mechanically used the grinding slurry (Slurry) for grinding. Common chemical mechanical grinding methods can be divided into three types: polycrystalline silicon and silicon. Chemical mechanical polishing method for metal interlayer dielectric layer (OLD CMP), chemical mechanical polishing method for metal interlayer dielectric layer (MD CMP), and chemical mechanical polishing method (W CMP) »See circle one, its crystal Schematic diagram of the circle 2 after the CMP process. The wafer 2 includes an electrical layer 21 and a dielectric layer 22. The electrical layer 21 may be a polycrystalline silicon layer or a metal layer. The polishing pad 4 and the polishing particles 61 are used by chemical mechanical means. The surface of wafer 2 is polished. Since the slurry 64 itself usually contains a solution such as KOH or Fe (N03> SKI〇3), metal ions in the solution can easily affect the wafer 2 due to dissociation and penetration into the surface layer of the wafer 2. The quality of the wafer 2 after CMP polishing will be as shown in circle 2. For the cleaning of the wafer 2 after the CMP process, the main purpose is to remove the abrasive particles 61 and the dielectric layer particles 62 on the surface of the wafer 2. And metal ions 63 on the surface of wafer 2. The semiconductor industry's cleaning of wafer 2 after the CMP process is mainly ____2___ ----.--.---- ^ ------- iTl · ----- line-I (Please read the back first Please fill in the clothing page for legal and legal matters.)

The soft brush 1 includes a grip 11 and a brush head 12. The interior of the grip 11 is hollow, and one end is brushed. The head 12 is connected to the other end, and the water pipe 3 is connected. The cleaning person α holds the lever 11 and brushes the surface 2 of the crystal surface 2 with the brush head 12 '. At the same time, water is continuously flowing from the brush head 12 to grind the abrasive particles 61. The dielectric layer particles 62 are washed away. However, the cleaning after the CMP process of the crystal surface 2 with the soft bristle brush 12 has the following disadvantages: ⑻ΚΟ63, Fe (Na &gt;, or κΐα solution contains metal ions 63 that penetrate into On the surface of wafer 2, the soft bristle brush 1 cannot be effectively removed. (B) In the process of removing particles, the soft bristle brush 1 will also adhere to the rough surface of the wafer 2 '. The cleaning of the next wafer 2 will scratch the surface of the wafer 2, especially for the WCMP process. (C) The soft bristle brush 1 will be contaminated with impurities such as hydrogen fluoride, photoresist or other chemicals during the process of removing particles. This impurity may contaminate the next slice of county circle 2. (d) The yield of wafer 2 cleaned by soft brush 1 is low, about 37%. ⑻ Soft brush 1 must be constantly flushed to avoid hardening of brush head 11 Therefore, it is easy to form a waste of water resources and the damage rate of the soft-bristle brush 1 is high. Purpose of the invention: The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for cleaning wafers after a chemical mechanical polishing process, so as to remove abrasive particles, dielectric layer particles, and metal ions on the wafer surface without causing scratches on the wafer surface.
