Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for cleaning semiconductor wafers. [Prior art] As for the technology of the semiconductor wafer, for example, there is one shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2003-7665. Below this washing technology is formed a sphere solder bump under the semiconductor wafer, which is fixed to the stage by a suction device. The semiconductor wafer is washed by rotating the stage and spraying a washing liquid from a washing nozzle provided above the upper surface of the semiconductor wafer. Since the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the wafer, in addition to soldering the solder around the bump electrodes, a small amount of solder slag can be removed. However, the cleaning nozzle of this cleaning technology is set on the top of the solder bumps on the spheres of the semiconductor wafer surface. It is difficult to remove the zinc agent hidden in the roots of the solder bumps of the spheres. Furthermore, the spray water system sprays the wafer plane in a vertical state. 2Washing water, the washing area is narrow, and the nozzle needs to be scanned on the wafer generally, and the wafer needs to be sprayed with washing liquid for washing, which is quite time-consuming. FIG. 7 is a washing diagram of an existing device manufactured by the inventor of the present invention: Part 2: Structural drawing. In this figure, wafers u, 12, and 13 are loaded on the wafer. The π 14 moves slowly in the direction of the arrow, and the wafer 16 is sprayed and washed from the nozzle 16 to wash the wafer. The wafer entering from the transfer entrance 17 is moved in the direction of the arrow. The agency knows that these devices are time-consuming, the wafer conveyor used for cleaning is too long, the second room is large, and it has the disadvantage of requiring a large installation area. A large number of washing mists are generated in order to prevent the washing mist from drifting out of the entrance 17 and the 1243420 exit 18, which must be exhausted by the exhaust pipe 20 together with the air. Therefore, the loss of the washing solution is large, which becomes the main reason for the high operating cost of this device. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device, which has a high cleaning effect on semiconductor wafers and solder, has a small space, and can save operating costs. [Summary of the Invention] The whole hibiscus 4 washing equipment is provided with a washing process unit, each of which has an individual station that can load a semiconductor wafer, and covers the semiconductor wafer with a movable cover lowered from above, and is arranged as a Row; flushing process unit; transfer mechanism, and the timing of the process determined by the up and down movement of each cover (Tad

Then, the surface is controlled by the semiconductor spinner in the transfer direction of the semiconductor wafer. The above = the drying process unit is in the second stage of the above washing process unit. When the circle is transferred to this drying process unit, the wafer is made: the rotation table of the suction device is fixed, and the rotation is rotated at a high speed, and the telecentric drying is performed. After a predetermined day, the rotation is stopped when riding the rotation table. Vacuum suction was then stopped.

Related cleaning method The semiconductor wafer strip cleaning method of the present invention is to continuously set the semiconductor wafer to the cleaning process, the rinsing process, and the drying process successively, and set the cleaning pressure and the ejection amount within a range that does not damage according to a predetermined flow 1243420. The same applies to the washing process unit 3. This implementation sets the depth dimension D and H according to ergonomics_ appropriate size. The size of the washing process unit 2 is determined according to the needs of the timing of the washing process. Therefore, compared with the same process timing of the conventional method of using the wafer wheel to convey the belt in FIG. 6, the width dimension w of this embodiment can be shortened by 30%. FIG. 3 is a main part of the washing process unit 2. FIG. The rinsing process unit 3 has the same configuration. The movable covers 22 are arranged above the respective corresponding stations 23 in the transport direction of the semiconductor wafers 丨 丨 shown in the front. Each of the movable covers 22 includes a cover shaft 21. These cap shafts 21 are passed through the catheter. Furthermore, a nozzle 16 is provided on the movable cover 22 to communicate with the liquid guide tube. These movable covers & are provided to be movable up and down. After the semiconductor wafer u is set at the individual station 23, the movable cover 22 is lowered to cover the semiconductor wafer n, and the lotion is sprayed from the nozzle 16 for, for example, 30 seconds. In order to prevent the semiconductor wafer n from being shaken by the sprayed spray liquid, the end portions of the wafer side are fixed in the front-rear direction by a jig. After washing, the movable cover 22 is opened upward, and the semiconductor wafer 11 is lifted up and down from the half-body wafer 11 by a separate set and transferred to the secondary station. While the movable cover 22 is opened upward, another semiconductor wafer 11 is transferred from the front station to the individual station 23. As shown in FIG. 4, in order to enable the entire surface of the semiconductor wafer 11 to be washed by the washing liquid sprayed from the nozzle 16, one or more nozzles 16 are provided in the movable cover 22. The cleaning liquid spray angle Θ of the horizontal plane of the semiconductor wafer 11 by the nozzle 16 has an appropriate result after experiments. For the semiconductor wafer 11 with a diameter of 8 inches, the washing effect of 10 1243420 and the silk speed are the best when the range is 10 degrees $ 0 $ 30 degrees. Nozzle ㈣ becomes silk liquid degree ㈣ horizontal plane 10 degrees or even 30 degrees to shake the head freely, and the angle of 20 degrees is most effective. In this way, bismuth, * ^ < Mouth shot clean and use general lotion water, can be completed in about 30 seconds, one sheet, η Langri Rigu, and the semiconductor wafer can be moved to the next stage individually Station 23.

僅汉1個喷嘴16時,為無遺漏喷射晶圓全表面,可 使喷嘴16沿晶圓圓周旋轉則較有效。如設多數個喷嘴u 時’則免設沿晶圓圓周旋轉之機構。 晶圓之污扣物質為不易剝離者時,可利用電解水作為 洗滌液杈有效。使用混合鹼性電解離子水與酸性電解離子 水之複合電解離子水時,有可簡化設備而低廉之優點。使 用此複合電解離子水為沖洗液亦有效。When only one nozzle 16 is used, the entire surface of the wafer is sprayed without leakage. It is effective to rotate the nozzle 16 along the circumference of the wafer. If a plurality of nozzles u are provided, then a mechanism for rotating along the circumference of the wafer is unnecessary. When the fouling material of the wafer is difficult to peel off, it is effective to use electrolyzed water as the cleaning liquid branch. When a composite electrolytic ion water containing a mixture of alkaline ionized water and acidic ionized water is used, there is an advantage that the equipment can be simplified and inexpensive. It is also effective to use this composite electrolytic ionized water as a washing solution.

For example, when the movable cover 22 is used, the mist generated from the self-washing strip liquid or the washing liquid is sealed in the movable cover 22, and comes into contact with the washing liquid or the washing liquid to be restored to a liquid. Therefore, the washing liquid or the washing liquid can be saved without polluting the environment. In the washing process unit 2 and the washing process unit 3, the semiconductor wafer u is transferred from the first station to the second station and then to the third station, and the wafers are sequentially transferred through the washing process, the washing process, and the drying process in accordance with the determined process. Semiconductor wafer 11. The liquid pump is equipped with a discharge adjustment device, which adjusts the spray pressure and the spray liquid volume of the washing and rinsing liquids. In addition, the ejection pressure and the ejection liquid amount are set at each station, and can be monitored by each ejection pressure gauge 29 'so that wafers are not damaged due to excessive pressure as in the past. 11 1243420 The wafers transferred are fixed by suction cups before and after the wafers, and washed and rinsed in this state. After the final process of rinsing is completed, it is transferred to a person station, that is, a rotary drying process is performed in the drying process unit 4. Fig. 5 is the internal structure of the drying process unit 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The semiconductor wafer? Is held by a vacuum suction device having a lower portion thereof mounted on a rotary table 28. In the center of the movable cover 22 in the drying process, a supply pipe 26 for supplying dry air from the outside to the inside is passed through. The rotary table 28 is provided with a dry air supply pipe 27. These supply pipes 26, 27 are connected to a dry air generating device. While the dry air is supplied from the supply pipes 26, 27, the rotary table 28 is rotated by a motor. If so, spin-dry the liquid attached to the semiconductor wafer. The speed of this motor is controlled to a specified speed of 3000 rpm by a rotation control device (not shown). If the motor is equipped with a motor-driven electric inverter The number of rotations can be set freely, which is more effective. The upper and lower movements of the movable cover 22 and the rotation movement and the spraying action of the dry air are performed by a linkage device. Figure 6 is a process diagram of the strip washing method according to one embodiment of the present invention. When the wafer set in the hopper is mounted in the loader of the loading unit, the wafers are sent to the washing table one by one. First, they are transferred to the fixed hopper 23 in the first station of the washing process unit 2. The wafer 11 is moved by The front and back are fixed by a jig. The movable cover 22 is lowered and spray-washed for 30 seconds. Next, the movable cover 22 is moved upward, and the wafer 11 is lifted from the left and right by the jig in the conveying direction of the wafer 11 and transferred to the second of the washing process unit 2 Station 23. Here, the wafer 11 is also fixed from the front and back by the cooler. The movable cover 22 is lowered, and the circle 11 is covered by the movable cover 22, and spray washing is performed for 30 seconds. Secondly, 12 1243420 can be placed on the movable cover 22. The wafers lifted from the left and right are transferred to the third station. Below, the peer also performs the cleaning process at the third station to complete the cleaning process. Subsequently, the passengers are sent to the rinse process unit 3. The rinse process unit 3 is rinsed before setting ^ The first and third stations of the entire cleaning process are performed in the same manner as the cleaning process unit 2. When the wafer η is finished and finished, it is transferred to the rotary table 28 of the drying station of the drying process order, and the vacuum suction device is used. The fixed rotation speed and rotation speed of the centrifugal rotation and the completion of the centrifugal tax rotation speed due to the drying of air are high-speed rotation, which eliminates the need for the previous warm air supply device, and the rotation = fuel and space for generating warm wind. Alas, it is transferred to the unloading section in front of it and taken out.)
