- the organic substance removing apparatus is an organic substance removing apparatus that removes organic substances on the surface of a substrate using ozone water, wherein at least 450 cm / ozone water is applied from a nozzle to a processing surface of the substrate. It has a means to fire at a linear velocity of more than sec.
- a second organic substance removing apparatus removes organic substances on the substrate surface using ozone water.
- the present inventors have conducted intensive studies and found that the organic matter on the substrate reached when the ozone water reached a point on the processing surface of the substrate at a linear velocity of more than 450 cm / sec. In this regard, it has been found that organic matter can be removed with the highest efficiency and extremely high efficiency.
- ozone water When removing organic substances using ozone water, it is necessary to oxidize and decompose organic substances to a molecular weight that can be dissolved in water by the ozone component in the ozone water.
- the saturated concentration of ozone water at room temperature is about 60 ppm, and it cannot be sufficiently high for organic matter.
- ozone water was supplied to a certain point, and ozone water was supplied to the entire surface by centrifugal force by spin, etc., but in this method, the ozone water becomes laminar and flows on the surface of the substrate. Is thought to flow.
- the ozone component is consumed by the reaction with the organic matter at the moment of first contact with the organic matter, resulting in a laminar flow of the low-concentration ozone water. Therefore, when viewed from a microscopic point of view, only a low concentration of ozone water is present near the substrate surface, and it is considered that the organic matter removing effect was poor.
- the organic matter removing apparatus removes, as soon as possible, organic matter decomposed to a molecular weight level that can be removed by an ozonized water stream having a certain linear velocity or more, and removes the organic matter that has not been decomposed. Since new high-concentration ozone water can always be reached, it is considered that organic matter can be removed with extremely high efficiency. This is different from washing by the physical effect of a mere water stream, and the oxidative decomposition reaction of organic matter by ozone and the decomposed organic matter by a high linear velocity ozone water stream. This is the first effect that can be obtained by the two functions of removal of odor.
- the organic matter is not removed in a water stream that does not contain ozone, and even if high-concentration organic water is used, the organic matter can be efficiently removed if it is not injected at a sufficient linear velocity. Cannot be achieved.

It is removed in an inverted conical shape centered on the arrival point. This is considered to be because the organic matter decomposed to a molecular weight level that can be removed by an ozone water stream having a certain linear velocity or higher is removed as soon as possible, and fresh ozone water always reaches organic substances that have not been decomposed. .
- the linear velocity of the ozone water flow is equal to or greater than 450 cm / sec. If it is less than 460 cmZsec, organic substances cannot be efficiently removed. It is preferably at least 500 c / sec, more preferably at least 800 c mZ sec.
- the upper limit of the linear velocity of the ozone water flow is not particularly limited, but is preferably 400 cm / sec or less.
- the reaction rate between ozone and organic matter has a large effect, rather than physical removal by a simple water flow. If it exceeds 400 cm / sec, the rate of reaction between ozone and organic matter will no longer increase the organic matter removal rate even if the linear velocity is increased, and the efficiency of organic matter removal relative to the amount of ozone water used will decrease. Sometimes. Also, with the current technology, it is difficult to construct a system exceeding 400 cm / sec, and when the amount of ozone water used increases, it becomes difficult to maintain a high concentration of ozone water. It is more preferably at most 200 cm / sec, and even more preferably at most 1500 cm / sec.

- the injection angle of the rod-shaped nozzle that is, the spread angle of the ozone water injected from the nozzle is preferably 10 ° or less, more preferably 5 ° or less.
- Such a rod-like nozzle can be obtained by drilling a tubular member using a drill, a laser, or the like, or by using a hollow fiber as a nozzle.
- the ozone water flow injected from the nozzle is supplied as a substantially continuous flow.
- the nozzle preferably has a nozzle inner diameter of 1.0 mm or less. If it exceeds 1.0 mm, a large amount of ozone water is required for the ozone water injected from the nozzle to obtain a constant linear velocity, and the efficiency of removing organic substances may decrease with respect to the amount of ozone water used. .
- the ozone water injected from the nozzle reaches almost the entire processing surface of the substrate so that the distance between the arrival points is 3 to 10 mm.
- FIG. 7 is a schematic view showing another example of a state in which organic substances on a substrate are removed by the organic substance removing apparatus of the second invention.
- the distance between the arrival points of the ozone water that is ejected from the nozzles and reaches the processing surface of the substrate is 3 to 10 mm. If it is less than 3 mm, the amount of ozone water used will increase and interference between ozone water flows will occur. For example, the ozone water repelled on the treated surface may lower the linear velocity of the next ozone water, which may lower the organic matter removal efficiency.If it exceeds 10 mm, uniform organic matter removal will occur. May not be possible.

- the end of the ozone water injection section 62 exposed at 6 4) is sprayed.
- the injection direction of the ozone water is a direction perpendicular to the injection surface 64.
- the injection hole 61 is formed at a position corresponding to the entire processing surface of the substrate. This is for uniformly spraying ozonized water on the entire surface of the processing surface of the substrate.
- injecting ozone water uniformly to the entire surface of the processing surface of the substrate means that the ozone water jetted through the ozone water injection nozzle of the present invention treats the substrate.
- reaching the surface it means reaching the entire surface of the processing surface of the substrate at substantially equal intervals. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the injection holes 61 are formed so as to be distributed at substantially equal intervals on the injection surface 64.
- the distance between the adjacent injection holes of the injection holes 61 is 10 mm or less. If it exceeds 10 mm, ozone water cannot be sprayed uniformly on the processing surface of the substrate rotated in a predetermined direction, and uniform organic substances cannot be removed.
- the distance between adjacent injection holes is 3 mm It is preferable that it is above. If it is less than 3 mm, the amount of ozone water used will increase, and the ozone water sprayed from adjacent holes will be integrated before reaching the processing surface of the substrate rotated in a predetermined direction. However, it may not be possible to supply ozone water uniformly over the entire surface of the processing surface of the substrate, and the organic matter removal efficiency may be worsened.

- the rod-shaped ozon water flow on the processing surface of the substrate rotated in the direction described above draws a locus similar to the locus drawn on the arbitrary plane. That is, since the point of reaching the processing surface of the substrate rotated in the above-described predetermined direction of the ozone water injected from the ozone water injection nozzle of the present invention does not overlap on the processing surface of the substrate, the interval between the injection holes is reduced.
- the ozone water can be sprayed on the entire surface of the processing surface of the substrate without bringing the substrate into close proximity. Therefore, according to the ozone water injection nozzle of the present invention, organic substances on the entire surface of the processing surface can be efficiently and uniformly removed. It is preferable that the ozone water injected from the injection holes formed in the ozone water injection nozzle of the present invention be a stick flow.

- the injection hole formed in the ozone water injection nozzle of the present invention has a relatively large diameter, such as an injection hole 61 shown in FIG. 10, for introducing ozone water into the inside from one end thereof. It is preferable that the water supply section and the ozone water injection section having a relatively small diameter for injecting ozone water from one end thereof communicate with each other. This is for the following reasons.
- the nozzle body is not easily broken or deformed by the pressure of the ozone water. To achieve this, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the nozzle body to maintain high mechanical strength. However, when the thickness of the nozzle body is increased, it is necessary to drill the holes or to form them using a high-power laser. However, when a drill hole is formed by drilling, the injected ozone water becomes a rod flow. A small-diameter spray hole cannot be formed with high precision. This causes a problem of high prices.
- a bottomed hole is formed in advance at the position corresponding to the injection hole of the nozzle body by drilling from the opposite side of the projection surface, and laser processing is performed on the bottom of this bottomed hole to eject it.
- the structure of the injection hole is made similar to the structure of the injection hole 61 shown in FIG. 10, so that the ozone water injected onto the injection surface at low cost becomes a stick flow.
- Small injection holes can be formed with high precision.
- the injection hole with such a structure has a large diameter on the side to which ozone water is supplied, the injection hole to ozone water injection holes is also reduced. It will be excellent.
- the diameter of the end of the injection hole on the side where the ozone water is injected be 0.05 to 0.5 mm. If it is less than 0.05 mm, clogging of the injection hole is likely to occur, and if it exceeds 0.5 mm, a large amount of ozone water is required to obtain a constant flow rate of ozone water injected from the injection hole. Water is required, and the efficiency of organic matter removal with respect to the amount of ozone water used may decrease.
- the material constituting the nozzle body is not particularly limited as long as it has ozone resistance, and for example, a material made of a fluorine-based resin is suitable.
- fluorine-based resin examples include tetrafluoroethylene copolymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene resin (PTFE), perfluoroalkoxy resin (PFA), and fluorinated ethylene propylene resin (FEP). Fluorinated rubber and the like.
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene resin
- PFA perfluoroalkoxy resin
- FEP fluorinated ethylene propylene resin
- the nozzle main body has a size facing substantially the entire processing surface of the substrate to be processed.

- FIG. 12 is a plan view schematically showing another example of the ozone water injection nozzle of the present invention.
- the distance between adjacent injection holes 68 is shorter than that of the ozone water injection nozzle 60 shown in FIG. 6 8 are formed.
- the locus drawn by the center of the injection hole 68 on the above-mentioned arbitrary plane is more spaced than the locus 66 shown in FIG. Concentric circles. Therefore, by removing organic substances from the substrate surface using the ozone water injection nozzle 67, the ozone water can be injected more uniformly on the entire processing surface of the substrate rotated in a predetermined direction.

- the nozzle is preferably the above-described ozone water injection nozzle of the present invention. This is because, by using the ozone water injection nozzle of the present invention, the ozone water can uniformly reach the entire surface of the substrate, so that organic substances on the substrate surface can be uniformly and extremely efficiently removed.
- the material of the nozzle used in the organic matter removing method of the present invention according to another embodiment is not particularly limited as long as it has ozone resistance and can withstand a certain water pressure.
- a fluorine resin is preferable. is there.

- the size of the nozzle is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that at least the ejection surface has the same size as the treatment surface of the substrate in order to eject ozone water onto substantially the entire surface of the treatment surface of the substrate.
- ozone water is sprayed onto substantially the entire surface of the processing surface of the substrate in the conventional manner.
- the organic substances on the substrate surface can be more efficiently and uniformly removed than the organic substance removing method using ozone water. This is thought to be due to the following reasons. That is, in the conventional organic matter removal method using ozone water, for example, ozone water is supplied to a negative point on the processing surface of the substrate, and centrifugal force generated by rotating the substrate is applied to other portions of the processing surface of the substrate.
- Ozone water was supplied by flowing ozone water by force or the like, but it is considered that the ozone water flow flowing through the processing surface of this substrate is laminar.
- the saturated concentration of ozone water at room temperature is as low as about 60 ppm, and the ozone water concentration decreases immediately after reacting with organic matter. Therefore, in the ozone water flow that flows near the treatment surface where the ozone water is not directly supplied, the ozone component is consumed by the reaction with the organic matter at the moment when the ozone water comes into contact with the organic matter for the first time. It becomes. Therefore, from a microscopic point of view, only low-concentration ozone water is present in the vicinity of the treated surface where ozone water is not directly supplied, and it is considered that the organic matter removal effect was poor.
- the nozzle is brought into close proximity to the substrate to such an extent that an ozone water layer is apparently formed between the nozzle and the processing surface of the substrate. Then, ozone water is sprayed on substantially the entire processing surface of the substrate. In order to bring the processing surface of the substrate and the ejection surface of the nozzle sufficiently close to each other, these gaps are filled with ozone water, and the ozone in the ozone water is brought into the atmosphere by being pressurized. It is hard to escape and can be processed with high concentration.
- the ozone water is vigorously supplied so that the gap between the processing surface of the substrate and the ejection surface of the nozzle is filled with the ozone water, so that the ozone water is agitated and the high-concentration ozone water always comes into contact with organic substances on the substrate. Will be done.
- the apparent ozone water layer formed between the processing surface of the substrate and the nozzle is referred to as a “pseudo ozone water layer”.
- the pseudo ozone water jetted from the nozzle is jetted into the pseudo ozone water layer, and the ozone water is jetted into the pseudo ozone water layer. Convection will occur. As a result, the pseudo ozone water layer formed on the entire surface of the processing surface of the substrate is agitated, and a high concentration of ozone water always hits the processing surface of the substrate. It is considered that organic matter can be removed.
- the ozone water jetted from the nozzle does not directly reach the processing surface of the substrate, but the convection of ozone water generated in the pseudo ozone water layer by the ozone water jetted from the nozzle does not occur. Will be reached. Since the contact area between the convection of the ozone water and the processing surface of the substrate is larger than the contact area between the ozone water injected from the nozzle and the processing surface of the substrate, the ozone water is removed by the convection of the ozone water. Since the area of the organic substance on the substrate surface is larger than the area of the organic substance removed by the ozone water jetted from the nozzle, it is considered that the organic substance on the substrate surface can be removed efficiently and uniformly. Can be
- the ozone water does not directly collide with the processing surface of the substrate, even if the substrate is thin and brittle, the impact received by the substrate is reduced, and the substrate is not damaged.

If it is less than 1 mm, the nozzle may come into contact with the substrate.
