Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing ozone gas-dissolved water suitably used for wet cleaning of electronic materials (electronic components, electronic members, etc.) such as semiconductors and liquid crystal substrates, and a method for cleaning electronic materials using the ozone gas-dissolved water. .
- gas-dissolved water prepared by dissolving a specific gas in ultrapure water and adding a trace amount of chemicals as necessary has been used in place of high-concentration chemical solutions. Cleaning with gas-dissolved water reduces the problem of chemical residue on the object to be cleaned and has a high cleaning effect, so that the amount of water used for cleaning can be reduced and the amount of rinsing water is also greatly reduced. .
- the gas used for the gas dissolved water as the electronic material cleaning water is hydrogen gas, oxygen gas, ozone gas, rare gas, carbon dioxide gas, or the like.
- Patent Document 1 describes a substrate cleaning technique using ozone gas-dissolved water.
- Ozone gas-dissolved water is used for removing organic substances on the substrate surface and modifying the substrate surface (making the substrate surface hydrophilic) by the oxidizing power of ozone.
- the effect of removing fine particles can be obtained, so both organic substances and fine particles are removed.
- Patent Document 2 In the production of such gas-dissolved water, there has also been proposed a method of improving the gas dissolution efficiency by previously degassing water for dissolving the gas (Patent Document 2).
- ozone gas is usually supplied as a mixed gas of oxygen gas and ozone gas, and oxygen gas occupies most of the mixed gas. That is, as ozone gas dissolved in water, ozone gas generated by an ozonizer (ozone generator) is usually used. Ozonizers are broadly classified into water electrolysis, discharge, and ultraviolet irradiation. In any system, ozone gas is obtained as a mixed gas of ozone gas and oxygen gas, although the ratio is large or small.
- Oxygen gas and ozone gas have higher solubility in water than ozone gas. For this reason, when high-concentration ozone gas-dissolved water produced by dissolving a mixed gas of oxygen and ozone in water is supplied to the location where the ozone gas-dissolved water is used, oxygen generated by the self-decomposition of ozone is bubbled, and ultrasonic cleaning is performed. The cleaning effect may be reduced and the ultrasonic transducer may be damaged.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an ozone gas-dissolved water having a high concentration of dissolved ozone gas and suppressing the bubbling of oxygen gas at the place of use.

- the present inventors have determined that the ozone gas (ozone gas in a mixed gas with oxygen gas) dissolved in the degassed water has been decomposed into oxygen gas at the place of use. It has been found that the above problem can be solved by dissolving a mixed gas of ozone gas and oxygen gas in degassed treated water so as to be equal to or lower than the saturation solubility of oxygen gas.
- the present invention has been achieved on the basis of such findings, and the gist thereof is as follows.
- the ozone dissolving part The amount of the mixed gas supplied to the gas is the dissolved oxygen gas concentration calculated from the amount of oxygen gas in the mixed gas and the amount of degassed water when it is assumed that all the ozone in the mixed gas is decomposed into oxygen.
- the ozone gas-dissolved water is characterized in that the total of the increase and the dissolved oxygen gas concentration of the degassed treated water is controlled to be equal to or lower than the saturation solubility of the oxygen gas under the use conditions of the obtained ozone gas-dissolved water. Manufacturing method.
- the mixed gas is a mixed gas obtained by an ozonizer that generates ozone gas from oxygen gas, and the ozone dissolution is performed by adjusting an inlet oxygen gas amount of the ozonizer.
- a gas for suppressing the self-decomposition of the dissolved ozone gas in the ozone gas-dissolved water by setting the pH of the ozone gas-dissolved water to be neutral or lower is provided in the preceding stage of the ozone-dissolving unit.
- [6] A method for cleaning an electronic material, wherein the electronic material is cleaned using the ozone gas-dissolved water produced by the method for producing ozone-gas-dissolved water according to any one of [1] to [5].
- the amount of mixed gas supplied to the ozone dissolving portion is the total amount of oxygen gas when assuming that all the ozone in the mixed gas is decomposed into oxygen, and the degassed treated water supplied to the ozone dissolving portion.
- the total amount of dissolved oxygen gas is controlled so as to be equal to or lower than the saturation solubility of oxygen gas under the use conditions of the obtained ozone gas-dissolved water.

The dissolved oxygen gas is prevented from being bubbled.

該オゾン溶解部に供給する該混合ガス量を、該混合ガス中のオゾンがすべて酸素に分解したと仮定した場合の該混合ガス中の酸素ガス量と該脱気処理水量とから算出される溶存酸素ガス濃度の増加分と、該脱気処理水の溶存酸素ガス濃度との合計が、得られたオゾンガス溶解水の使用条件下における酸素ガスの飽和溶解度以下となるように制御することを特徴とするオゾンガス溶解水の製造方法。 - 請求項1において、前記混合ガスのオゾンガス濃度が3体積%以上であることを特徴とするオゾンガス溶解水の製造方法。
- 請求項1において、前記混合ガスが、酸素ガスからオゾンガスを発生させるオゾナイザで得られた混合ガスであり、該オゾナイザの入口酸素ガス量を調整することにより、前記オゾン溶解部に供給する混合ガス量を制御することを特徴とするオゾンガス溶解水の製造方法。
- 請求項1において、前記オゾンガス溶解水のpHを中性以下として該オゾンガス溶解水中の溶存オゾンガスの自己分解を抑制するためのガスを、前記オゾン溶解部の前段、後段及び該オゾン溶解部のいずれかにおいて前記脱気処理水又はオゾンガス溶解水中に溶解させることを特徴とするオゾンガス溶解水の製造方法。
- 請求項1において、前記オゾンガス溶解水の溶存オゾンガス濃度が1~15ppmであることを特徴とするオゾンガス溶解水の製造方法。
- 請求項1ないし5のいずれか1項に記載のオゾンガス溶解水の製造方法で製造されたオゾンガス溶解水を用いて電子材料を洗浄することを特徴とする電子材料の洗浄方法。
- 請求項6において、前記オゾンガス溶解水を用いて超音波洗浄を行うことを特徴とする電子材料の洗浄方法。
