The substitution / drying zone 21 maintains the vapor of the saturated organic polar solvent until the substitution is completed. In this way, after the substitution is completed in the presence of I gas, in the vapor of the organic polar solvent, the area of the wafer 40: week: the co-fossil mixture is adsorbed. As shown in Figure D of the tea, as the adsorption and desorption of organic polar dissolved vapors reaches equilibrium, the spray chamber 1Q stops supplying radon gas from organic polar solvents and the replacement / drying zone 21 is only dull. Supply of sexual gases. At this time, the balance tends to be desorbed (1 ^ 0 ^ fine 3 1 ^), so that when the vapor of the organic polar solvent is completely adsorbed on the wafer 40, the wafer 40 can be completely dried. Because the temperature of the inert gas provided at this time is too high, and the deionized water 50 in the rinse zone 22 will first form a vapor and then condense to the wafer 40, the temperature of the inert gas is here It should be lower than that, preferably between 20 and 80 ° C. Then, after the wafer 40 is dried, the spray chamber 10 is opened to eject the wafer. The method for drying wafers of the present invention just mentioned does not have the problem of damage caused by the wafers or particles generated by the machine itself. Because the dryer in the embodiment of the present invention does not use the rotating disk in the conventional technology. In more detail, the method for drying wafers in the present invention is to produce an organic polar rolling body at room temperature instead of using a conventional kimmon dryer machine at a temperature exceeding 200 ° C to form a South Temperature gas generator. Therefore, the present invention There is no danger of fire. Moreover, in the present invention, the vapor of the organic polar solvent is provided from above the machine rather than below the machine, so that the particles are more easily removed due to the relationship of gravity.

At the time, the dry material method CFM Ine // &s; s1 mixed traditional dry _ in the case of unjust wafers, remove the water and replace the f Deionized water on the surface. At this time, the wafer table 2, deionized water, and diisopropanol (IPA) are the key factors in the dry condition. When the wafer surface cannot be provided according to the ideal surface, it appears unstable. Deionized water cannot be removed. However, the method for drying wafers in the present invention can provide a reliable drying method. Although the boiling point of the azeotrope formed by the drying method is higher than the boiling point of deionized water in the azeotrope, The invention can effectively remove the organic polar solvent vapor adsorbed on the surface of the wafer, because the present invention is based on Le, Chatdi er balance law instead of heating to remove the steam. According to the above, in the step of this embodiment, heating is needed, so there will be no fire prevention considerations or the invasion of the photoresist pattern. In addition, its bebesch The difference between the dry machine of the example and the work done by the CFM Inc. company used in the conventional technology is that the deionized water is located below the wafer and only the dry gas is present around the wafer. When the wafer is lifted, the dry steam and the inactive gas will be in the same environment towel. For this reason, in order to transfer the equilibrium state of the dry body adsorption, the spraying chamber 10 needs to continuously provide the dry gas.
