Description of the Invention (/) Background of the Invention: Technical Field: The present invention relates to a method for processing wafers on a wafer surface during semiconductor processing. Wafer dryer with water or water vapor removed. Description of related know-how: Liquid crystal display (LCD) and circular dryers have been used for removal and storage. Generally, after the fluid treatment or wet-wafer substrate process is performed, the crystals are on the surface of pure water or water vapor. t Semiconductor Manufacturing 'or light (k_n) dryers have been widely rounded. The problem of using the spinning thin-circle drying method is that 'not only the wafer may be damaged by the physical force caused by the rotation of the crystal κ, but also the micro generated in the machine due to the rotation of the rotating disk:' :! Dyeing: On the other hand, the method of using a Kimon dryer is to use a button generating device to add isopropyl alcohol (ipa), which is a polar organic solvent, to a hairdressing / treatment to a value of more than about 20%. The propanol vapor replaces the pure water or water present on the wafer surface, and then the wafer is dried for inspection. However, the use of a klmmGn dryer has a high probability of causing fire. 'Because of approximately 22t of isopropyl alcohol, if a photoresist pattern exists on the wafer surface, the photoresist The pattern may be made, because this method uses f-temperature steam, and the field _ this shot M inspection ship was touched off the case and was printed by 2 472292 Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Employee Consumer Cooperative A7 Description of invention (/) In order to solve these problems, CFM Technologies Research Assodates, Inc. (U.S. Patent No. 4,911,761, McCel, et al.) Has proposed processes and equipment for drying surfaces. The dry refining method using the drying equipment includes evaporating isopropyl alcohol at a temperature of 50 to 7 (rc), and replacing water or water vapor on the surface of the wafer with an aerotr () pic mixture, In the case where the crystal is not moved, the temperature of the molten water will be removed to the aerotropic mixture and the wafer will be dried. However, in this method T ', a stable wafer surface must be maintained. Because the wafer is dried on the water surface, it has a problem of insufficient drying, because it is difficult to avoid water fluctuations based on the discharge of water, or many particles may be generated. Furthermore, although this method makes The temperature of Shaw is lower than the temperature of Kimon (ki_Gn), but there is still a danger of fire because the ignition point of isopropanol is about 22. Summary of the invention: The present invention does not solve the above problems, and the invention —The purpose is to provide a wafer dryer that can be manufactured in semiconductor wafers and removes pure water or water vapor from the surface of the wafer by fluid processing or wet processing. A. In order to accomplish the above object, according to the present invention A wafer dryer, features It contains a cavity ', which contains a substitution / dry dragon which contains polar organic solvent vapor and inert wheel gas, and a substitution / drying chamber located at the boundary between the substitution / drying zone and the face wash.

Description of the invention (")-Zishui 50 is passed through a unidirectional flow mold at a flow rate of less than 50 liters per minute. Group b is supplied. As described above, 'a heterogeneous organic solvent is a material containing a large cathodic functional group' whose Buddha point is lower than 90 ° C and the specific gravity is lower than i, such as methanol, ethanol, propylene glycol ' _ 'Cyanomethan' ⑴ 'Sanqi Yisi, where the functional group includes wind oxy (-0H), carbonyl (_CK), cyano fluorene), haloyl (-F, _α, -Br,- I), Fang Xiangji (_NO2), #nitrogen radical. The polar organic solvent layer 500 is formed on the water surface ± because the supplied polar organic solvent vapor has a lower surface than deionized water Tension. Now referring to FIG. 2B, the wafer 40 floats on the water surface due to the epitope of the wafer. On this water surface, the deionized water 50 will pass through the overflow unit 23 and be discharged by the overflow to the monthly work. 20 outside 'in order to cause the flow of deionized water 50' to remove dyeable materials such as particles, etc. At the same time, unidirectional flow is performed in the unidirectional flow module 25, and There will be special particles such as particles on the surface of Crystal® 40. As the wafer 2 continues to rise, the wafer 40 will pass through the polar organic solvent layer 500. Today `` exists in Crystal® 4Q Watch Co. Ionic water or water vapor begins to be polar organic solvents, and the steam is replaced. Since the wafer 4Q enters the replacement / drying zone 21 where the polar organic solvent vapor is saturated, the deionized water or water existing on the surface of the wafer 40 The vapor is replaced by a polar organic solvent vapor. # In the above, the cleaning effect of the wafer 40 will be increased by the discharge of the deionized water 50 and the unidirectional flow. Now referring to FIG. 2C, the wafer seat 24 is continuously raised to So that the wafer 40 can exist in the replacement / drying zone 21. At this time, the wafer 40 is completely surrounded by the pole I1 and the inert transfer gas. The polar organic solvent steams the paper Dimensions ^ __ (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) 'π Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, printed 472292 A7 _____B7 V. Description of the invention (""' ~~ Steam and inert transmission gas continue The ground is supplied by the spraying area 10 so that The deionized water or water vapor existing on the surface of the circle 40 is completely replaced by the polar organic solvent vaporization. Therefore, the adsorption / desorption of the polar organic solvent vapor from the wafer 40 is maintained in an equilibrium state. The polar organic The solvent vapor and the inert transport gas are the elements for maintaining the equilibrium state. The substitution / drying zone 21 is always maintained in a saturated state due to the polar organic solvent vapor before the ^ generation is completed. After the substitution is completed, the polar organic Solvent vapor is adsorbed on the surrounding area of the wafer 40, and there is a vapor of a mixture of water vapor and gaseous Uerotropic. Referring now to Figure ZD, the polar organic solvent vapor is absorbed / desorbed from the wafer 40 in the equilibrium state, and the supply of the polar organic solvent vapor from the spray area 10 is terminated, and only the inert transfer gas is removed. It is supplied to the replacement / drying zone 21. Therefore, this equilibrium state tends to desorption (Le, Chateiw's law), and when the polar organic solvent vapor on the wafer 40 is removed, the crystal circle 40 is completely dried. At this time, if the temperature of the supplied inert transport gas is too high, since the deionized water 50 in the washing zone 22 can be evaporated and can be solidified on the wafer 40 again, the temperature preference of the inert transport gas is lower than 8 〇 艽, preference is 20 to 80.

Description of Invention (f) " ~' Wafer dryers will generate polar organic solvent vapors at room temperature, so there is no need to use, 'H 200 C's directional steam generation equipment. 'Thus, the present invention will eliminate the danger of fire and fire again' In the present invention, since the polar organic solvent vapor is supplied from the upper half 'rather than the lower half, the particles can be easily carried out by gravity 'S removal. Furthermore, the dryer of the present invention uses polar organic auxiliary steam at room temperature, so it can be used in the BOE wet-etching process where Gu Lin, a miscellaneous agent, is present. At the same time, the conventional dryer (manufactured by CFM) is used to replace the deionized water existing on the surface of the crystal by replacing the deionized water with a deaerator mixture when the wafer is not moving. At this time, the tube composed of wafers, deionized water, and isopropyl alcohol (IPA) _ plays an important role in dry conditions. If deionized water is used, it will become indeterminate when moving on the water surface. The ideal meniscus can not be bribed. However, since the dryer of the present invention uses a method of washing wafers on the water surface, it may produce more stable drying. (_ 廿 响) Drying of the mixture has a higher boiling point than the deionized water boiling point, but the present invention can effectively dry the polar organic solvent vapor adsorbed on the wafer surface, because it uses Le'Chatelier's equilibrium law Instead of using a heating method. Furthermore, since the invention does not heat, there is no problem of fire danger or photoresist pattern intrusion. In addition, consider the dryer of the invention and the conventional dryer (CFM Corporation) All Due to the low deionized water, the exposed wafers are only wound by the dried steam.
