雖然此時為了搬送晶圓,杯部26必須低過晶圓24的位置,但過去的晶圓洗淨處理裝置中,在杯部26下降時台座25及杯部26的間隔會變得狹窄而造成氣體的流路被限制。受此影響,艙室23內台座25的上部的壓力會上升,來自供氣部21的氣體的流動會發生紊亂,氣體會變得捲揚。Although at this time, in order to transfer the wafer, the
其結果,藉由氣體的流動的變化,會變得洗淨中產生的霧氣於艙室23內擴散,而有造成汙染晶圓的問題。As a result, the mist generated during cleaning diffuses in the

The wafer is cleaned by a chemical solution, wherein the chamber includes a gas supply part for supplying gas in the chamber and an exhaust part for exhausting gas. The wafer cleaning process The device includes a cup part arranged in such a manner as to surround a pedestal supporting the wafer, and capable of moving up and down to catch the cleaned chemical liquid thrown off from the rotating wafer, and a shielding plate arranged on the Outside the cup portion, the shielding plate has a central hole shape, and the shielding plate extends from the inner wall of the cabin to the inner side.
若為這樣的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,能夠在杯部上升時及杯部下降時不會使氣體的流路大幅變化且將艙室內的壓力維持於固定,因此變得能夠比過去的洗淨裝置更高品質地洗淨晶圓。此外,若為這樣的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,變得能夠在不必在進行供氣側的流量控制的情形下洗淨晶圓。According to such a wafer cleaning processing apparatus, the pressure in the chamber can be kept constant without greatly changing the flow path of the gas when the cup is raised and when the cup is lowered.

這個時候該遮蔽板設置於較該台座所支承的晶圓的高度位置為低的位置為佳。At this time, it is preferable that the shielding plate is set at a position lower than the height of the wafer supported by the pedestal.
若為這樣的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,則變得能夠沒有問題地搬運晶圓。According to such a wafer cleaning processing apparatus, wafers can be transported without problems.

若為這樣的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,則變得能夠在杯部上升時拉高排氣效率並使晶圓的品質進一步提升。According to such a wafer cleaning processing apparatus, it becomes possible to increase the exhaust efficiency when the cup portion is raised, and to further improve the quality of the wafer.
此外,這個時候將在該杯部上升時藉由該台座及該杯部所形成的間隙的面積定為排氣截面積1,將在該杯部下降時藉由該台座及該杯部所形成的間隙的面積定為排氣截面積2,將在該杯部下降時藉由該遮蔽板及該杯部所形成的間隙的面積定為排氣截面積3的時候,該遮蔽板讓排氣截面積2及排氣截面積3的合計為排氣截面積1以上為佳。In addition, at this time, the area of the gap formed by the pedestal and the cup when the cup is raised is defined as the exhaust cross-sectional area 1, and the area of the gap formed by the pedestal and the cup when the cup is lowered is The area of the gap is defined as the exhaust cross-sectional area 2, and when the area of the gap formed by the shielding plate and the cup is defined as the
若為這樣的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,則能夠在杯部上升時為了維持台座端的風速而縮小間隙且在杯部下降時藉由擴大間隙來減慢台座端的風速,則變得能夠防止殘留霧氣藉由亂流而往晶圓附著。According to such a wafer cleaning processing apparatus, the gap can be narrowed to maintain the wind speed at the pedestal end when the cup portion is raised, and the wind speed at the pedestal end can be slowed down by expanding the gap when the cup portion is lowered, thereby preventing residual mist Attaches to the wafer by turbulent flow.
此外,這個時候該杯部係在該杯部下降時,於該台座及該杯部的上端之間具有間隙為佳。In addition, at this time, when the cup is lowered, it is better to have a gap between the base and the upper end of the cup.
若為這樣的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,則變得能夠防止在杯部下降時殘留霧氣的捲揚。According to such a wafer cleaning processing apparatus, it becomes possible to prevent the remaining mist from being lifted up when the cup portion is lowered.
此外,這個時候該杯部係於上部具有朝向內側的傾斜或R形狀為佳。In addition, at this time, it is preferable that the upper part of the cup has an inward slope or an R shape.
若為這樣的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,則能夠在有效捕捉洗淨後的藥液的同時不會改變在杯部升降時自艙室上部的供氣流往台座下的排氣流路。According to such a wafer cleaning processing apparatus, the cleaned chemical solution can be effectively captured without changing the exhaust flow path from the supply air flow from the upper part of the chamber to the lower seat when the cup is raised and lowered.

[Compared with the effect of previous technology]

The pressure fluctuation in the cabin eliminates the possibility of hoisting the residual mist after cleaning. Therefore, it becomes possible to obtain higher quality wafers than conventional cleaning apparatuses. Furthermore, according to the wafer cleaning processing apparatus and wafer cleaning method of the present invention, it becomes possible to provide a wafer cleaning apparatus and a wafer cleaning method that do not require flow control on the gas supply side.
如上述,在自供氣部取入氣體的量的電子控制中,無法充分抑制壓力變動,而有造成了產生的霧氣汙染晶圓的問題。As described above, in the electronic control of the amount of gas taken in from the gas supply unit, the pressure fluctuation cannot be sufficiently suppressed, and there is a problem that the generated mist contaminates the wafer.
接著,本發明人等為了解決上述問題而反覆積極討論的結果,找出了若為在用以捕捉藥液的杯部的外側將含中央孔形狀的遮蔽板予以配置的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,則變得能夠比過去的晶圓洗淨處理裝置更高品質地洗淨晶圓,進而完成本發明。Next, as a result of intensive discussions by the present inventors in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, they found out a wafer cleaning processing apparatus in which a shielding plate having a central hole shape is arranged outside the cup portion for catching the chemical solution. , it becomes possible to clean the wafer with higher quality than the conventional wafer cleaning processing apparatus, and the present invention has been completed.
換言之,本發明的裝置係為將一晶圓支承於一台座之上,該台座係唯配置於一艙室內且為得以旋轉的,在使該晶圓旋轉的同時藉由一藥液而將該晶圓予以洗淨處理的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,其中該艙室包含於艙室內將氣體予以供氣的一供氣部及將氣體予以排氣的一排氣部,該晶圓洗淨處理裝置包括一杯部,係以將支承該晶圓的台座予以圍繞的方式配置,且得以上下移動而捕捉自經旋轉的晶圓甩飛的洗淨後的藥液,以及一遮蔽板,係配置於該杯部的外側,該遮蔽板具有中央孔形狀,且該遮蔽板為自該艙室的內壁往內側延伸。In other words, the apparatus of the present invention supports a wafer on a pedestal which is only arranged in a chamber and is rotatable. A wafer cleaning treatment device for cleaning wafers, wherein the cabin includes a gas supply part for supplying gas in the cabin and an exhaust part for exhausting gas, the wafer cleaning treatment device It includes a cup part arranged in such a way as to surround a pedestal supporting the wafer, and can move up and down to catch the cleaned chemical solution thrown off from the rotating wafer, and a shielding plate arranged on the Outside the cup portion, the shielding plate has a central hole shape, and the shielding plate extends from the inner wall of the compartment to the inner side.
以下針對本發明進行具體說明,然而本發明不限於此類。The present invention will be specifically described below, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
首先,針對本發明的晶圓洗淨處理裝置進行說明。圖1係表示本發明中晶圓洗淨處理裝置的一範例的示意圖。First, the wafer cleaning processing apparatus of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a wafer cleaning processing apparatus in the present invention.
晶圓洗淨處理裝置10中,晶圓14係支承於旋轉驅動的台座15上。在使該晶圓14旋轉的同時藉由藥液而將晶圓14予以洗淨處理。於洗淨中的艙室13中,自供氣部11導入氣體且自排氣部12排氣。In the wafer
此外,能夠上下移動的杯部16係以將台座15予以圍繞的方式配置,藉由杯部16捕捉自經旋轉的晶圓14甩飛的洗淨後的藥液。Moreover, the
這個時候,杯部16的外側配置有遮蔽板17,該遮蔽板17具有中央孔形狀,且該遮蔽板17為自該艙室13的內壁往內側延伸。藉由設置這樣的遮蔽板17,能夠非常簡單地消滅艙室內的壓力變動,因此變得能夠更高品質地洗淨晶圓。At this time, a
換言之,過去的晶圓洗淨處理裝置20中,杯部26上升時,在藉由圖2的(a)及圖3的(c)的排氣流路D排氣的同時回收飛散的藥液或進行排液,然而,杯部26下降時,台座25及杯部26所形成的圖2的(b)及圖3的(d)的排氣流路E會變小而造成氣體的流路被限制。因此,在杯部26升降時會發生艙室23內的壓力變動,洗淨中產生的殘留霧氣會捲揚而造成了晶圓汙染。In other words, in the conventional wafer
若為本發明的晶圓洗淨處理裝置10,杯部16上升時藉由縮小排氣流路A來維持台座15端的風速,此外,杯部下降時藉由擴大排氣流路B及排氣流路C所成的杯部16外周的間隙來減弱台座15端的風速,而能夠在杯部16上升時及杯部16下降時不使氣體的流路大幅變化且將艙室內的壓力維持於固定,因此變得能夠控制產生的霧氣所致的晶圓的汙染。In the case of the wafer
進一步,若為本發明的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,艙室內的壓力幾乎不會變動,因此變得沒有必要進行供氣量調整,變得能夠更簡便地洗淨晶圓。Furthermore, according to the wafer cleaning processing apparatus of the present invention, since the pressure in the chamber hardly fluctuates, it becomes unnecessary to adjust the air supply amount, and the wafers can be cleaned more easily.
設置遮蔽板17的高度位置雖然沒有特別限制,設置於較台座15所支承的晶圓14的高度位置為低的位置為佳。若為這樣的遮蔽板的高度位置,因為不會在晶圓的取放時造成干涉,變得能夠沒有問題地搬運晶圓。The height position where the
遮蔽板17的形狀雖然沒有特別限制,具有杯部16的內徑以上外徑以下的內徑的孔為佳。若為這樣的遮蔽板的形狀,變得能夠在杯部上升時拉高排氣效率並使晶圓的品質提升。The shape of the
此外,遮蔽板17將在杯部16上升時藉由遮蔽板17及杯部16所形成的間隙予以完全地塞住為佳。若為這樣的遮蔽板的形狀,變得能夠在杯部上升時拉高排氣效率並使晶圓的品質提升。In addition, it is preferable that the shielding
將在杯部16上升時藉由台座15及杯部16所形成的圖1的(a)及圖3的(a)的排氣流路A的面積定為排氣截面積1,將在杯部16下降時藉由台座15及杯部16所形成的圖1的(b)及圖3的(b)的排氣流路B的面積定為排氣截面積2,將在杯部16下降時藉由遮蔽板17及杯部16所形成的圖1的(b)及圖3的(b)的排氣流路C的面積定為排氣截面積3的時候,遮蔽板17讓排氣截面積2及排氣截面積3的合計為排氣截面積1以上為佳。若為具備這樣的遮蔽板17的本發明的晶圓洗淨處理裝置,能夠在杯部上升時為了維持台座端的風速而縮小間隙且在杯部下降時藉由擴大間隙來減慢台座端的風速,則變得能夠防止亂流所致的殘留霧氣往晶圓附著。此時,排氣截面積2及排氣截面積3的合計為大於排氣截面積1的3.0倍即足夠。The area of the exhaust flow path A in Fig. 1(a) and Fig. 3(a) formed by the
杯部16係在杯部16下降時,於台座15及杯部16的上端之間具有間隙為佳。若為這樣的杯部,則變得能夠防止杯部16下降時的殘留霧氣的捲揚。The
此場合下,杯部16係於上部具有朝向內側的傾斜或R形狀為佳。若為這樣的杯部,不會改變在杯部16升降時自艙室13上部的供氣部11流往台座15下的排氣流路。換言之,杯部16下降時,氣體會變成流往杯部16內周部的排氣流路B加上杯部16外周部的排氣流路C,相較於杯部上升時的排氣流路A,排氣流路不會大幅變化。In this case, it is preferable that the
其次,說明本發明的晶圓洗淨方法。本發明的晶圓洗淨方法中,使用晶圓洗淨裝置10,藉由遮蔽板17調整該艙室13內的氣體的流動的同時洗淨晶圓14。Next, the wafer cleaning method of the present invention will be described. In the wafer cleaning method of the present invention, the
過去的晶圓洗淨方法中,在杯部26升降時會發生艙室內的壓力變動,洗淨中產生的殘留霧氣會捲揚而造成了晶圓的汙染,然而本發明的晶圓的洗淨方法中,能夠非常簡單地消滅壓力變動,變得能夠更高品質地洗淨晶圓。In the past wafer cleaning method, when the
此外,過去的晶圓洗淨方法中供氣量調整係為必要,然而本發明的洗淨方法中,艙室13內的壓力幾乎不會變動,因此變得不一定要供氣量調整,變得能夠更簡便地洗淨晶圓。In addition, in the conventional wafer cleaning method, it was necessary to adjust the air supply amount, but in the cleaning method of the present invention, the pressure in the
進一步,若為本發明的晶圓洗淨方法,在杯部16上升時及杯部16下降時自艙室13上部的供氣部流往台座15下的排氣流路不會改變,因此變得能夠將艙室13內的壓力維持於固定。Further, if it is the wafer cleaning method of the present invention, when the
以下舉出本發明的實施例而進一步具體地說明,然而本發明並不限定於此類。Hereinafter, examples of the present invention will be given and described in more detail, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

使用已完成最終研磨及洗淨的5片晶圓預先進行表面的缺陷測量。進一步洗淨晶圓後,再次進行表面的缺陷測量,僅就相對於預先測量所增加的缺陷進行評估。測量係使用KLA-Tencor公司製的Surfscan SP5進行粒徑19nm以上的缺陷的測量。Surface defect measurement was performed in advance using 5 wafers that had been finished with final grinding and cleaning. After further cleaning of the wafer, defect measurements on the surface are performed again and only the defects that have increased compared to the pre-measurement are evaluated. As a measurement system, Surfscan SP5 manufactured by KLA-Tencor Corporation was used to measure defects having a particle diameter of 19 nm or more.
(比較例) 除了使用如圖2所示的過去的晶圓洗淨處理裝置進行晶圓的洗淨之外,與實施例同樣地使用5片晶圓進行測量。(comparative example) Measurements were performed using five wafers in the same manner as in the examples except that the wafers were cleaned using the conventional wafer cleaning processing apparatus shown in FIG. 2 .
實施例及比較例的洗淨後增加缺陷數的結果示於圖4。The results of increasing the number of defects after cleaning in Examples and Comparative Examples are shown in FIG. 4 .
如圖4所示,實施例係相對於比較例在洗淨後增加缺陷數為減少,乾燥時的顆粒增加係變得不會發生。As shown in FIG. 4 , compared to the comparative examples, the number of increased defects after cleaning was reduced, and the increase of particles during drying did not occur.
此外,將實施例及比較例的洗淨處理中杯部升降時的艙室內壓力變動的結果示於圖5。In addition, the results of pressure fluctuations in the chamber when the cup portion is raised and lowered in the washing process of the examples and the comparative examples are shown in FIG. 5 .
如圖5所示,比較例中杯部下降時艙室內的壓力會上升並維持在該狀態,然而實施例中,幾乎沒有艙室內的壓力變動。同樣地,杯部上升時,比較例中艙室內的壓力會下降且有大幅度的壓力變動,然而實施例中幾乎沒有發生壓力變動。As shown in FIG. 5 , in the comparative example, the pressure in the chamber rose and was maintained when the cup was lowered, but in the example, there was almost no change in the pressure in the chamber. Similarly, when the cup portion rises, the pressure in the chamber in the comparative example drops and there is a large pressure fluctuation, but there is almost no pressure fluctuation in the example.
