- the cleaning apparatus 1 since the cleaning apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes the ultraviolet irradiation unit 6 below the substrate 2, the force for holding the ultraviolet irradiation unit 6 is also greater than when the ultraviolet irradiation unit 6 is provided above the substrate 2. Small is good. Therefore, the apparatus configuration can be simplified.
- the step S100 for holding the substrate the step S200 for supplying ozone water to the cleaning surface of the held substrate, and the ozone water contacted the cleaning surface of the substrate.
- the substrate is cleaned using the cleaning apparatus 1 of the present embodiment as follows. First, the substrate 2 to be cleaned is placed and held on the transport roller 7, and the transport roller 7 is operated to transport the substrate 2. Then, while supplying ozone from the ozone water nozzle 5b to the cleaning surface 2a of the substrate to be transported in step S200, the ultraviolet irradiation unit 6 irradiates ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet irradiation surface 2b side in step S300.
- the ozone water supply flow rate of the ozone water nozzle 5b is dependent on the area of the substrate 2 to be cleaned, in terms of cleaning performance, is preferably 1 m 2 per 40 ⁇ 400L / min, 1m 2 More preferably, it is 100 to 400 L / min.
- the substrate 2 is placed and held on the transport roller 7, but the substrate 2 is in a state where ozone water is supplied to the cleaning surface 2a, and is opposite to the cleaning surface 2a.
- the manner or method of holding the substrate 2 as long as the surface is held in such a manner that it can be irradiated with ultraviolet rays having the above-mentioned wavelength.
- the cleaning of the substrate in the cleaning apparatus 1 may be performed batchwise or continuously. When cleaning a small substrate, it is preferable to use a batch method.
- the cleaning method of the present invention is a cleaning method characterized by energy saving, cost reduction, and high cleaning ability, and exhibits a great effect particularly when applied to cleaning of a liquid crystal glass substrate having a large cleaning area. be able to.
- the liquid crystal glass substrate has been remarkably increased in size in recent years, and flat-flow cleaning is becoming the mainstream for the purpose of cleaning uniformity and cleaning time.
- the effect of the present invention is not limited only to the flat-flow cleaning method, the showering method in which the cleaning liquid is poured in the shower, the spin cleaning method for supplying the cleaning liquid onto the rotating substrate, and the batch type immersion bath in which the cleaning liquid is contained

- the cleaning apparatus of the present embodiment it is possible to reduce the wastewater treatment load and the environmental burden compared to the conventional cleaning method using concentrated chemicals and cleaning liquids, and it is possible to simplify the apparatus configuration. . Therefore, the cleaning efficiency of the substrate with ozone water can be improved.
- Example 1 As the object to be cleaned, a liquid crystal glass substrate having a size of 50 mm in length, 50 mm in width, and 0.7 mm in thickness and having a transmittance of 99% for ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 254 nm was used. Ozone water having a concentration of 100 ppm is supplied to the cleaning surface of this substrate at a flow rate of 1 L / min (400 L / min per 1 m 2 ), and ultraviolet light having a wavelength near 254 nm is applied to the surface opposite to the cleaning surface from the glass substrate. Irradiation was performed at a UV illuminance of 3.8 mW / m 2 from below 10 mm. As the ultraviolet irradiation device, a low-pressure mercury lamp AY-11 (trade name, manufactured by Nippon Photo Science Co., Ltd.) was used.
- the water contact angle on the surface of the liquid crystal glass substrate before cleaning and the water contact angle on the surface of the liquid crystal glass substrate after cleaning times of 0 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 180 seconds, 300 seconds, and 600 seconds are measured with a contact angle meter PG-X ( (Trade name, manufactured by Matsubo Co., Ltd.).
- the measurement results of the water contact angle are shown in Table 1. It shows that the smaller the water contact angle, the less organic matter adhered to the liquid crystal glass substrate and the better the cleaning is.
- the wavelength characteristics of the low-pressure mercury lamp used are shown in FIG.
- Example 1 the liquid crystal glass substrate was cleaned under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that ultraviolet rays were irradiated from the cleaning surface side, and the change with time of the water contact angle on the liquid crystal glass substrate surface was measured. The results are shown in Table 1.
- Example 2 In Example 1, the liquid crystal glass substrate was cleaned under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that cleaning was performed without irradiating ultraviolet rays, and the change with time in the water contact angle on the liquid crystal glass substrate surface was measured. The results are also shown in Table 1.
- Comparative Example 3 In Comparative Example 1, the liquid crystal glass substrate was cleaned under the same conditions as in Comparative Example 1 except that ultrasonic waves were applied to the ozone water supplied from the ozone water nozzle 5b using a fine jet (PT-010J50 (manufactured by Pretec)). And the change with time of the water contact angle on the surface of the liquid crystal glass substrate was measured. The results are shown in Table 1. In Comparative Example 3, only a cleaning effect substantially equivalent to that in Comparative Example 2 was shown. This indicates that the effect of ultraviolet irradiation did not appear because the ultraviolet water was reflected by the ozone water film due to the vibration applied to the ozone water film.
- the cleaning efficiency is improved by irradiating ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 250 to 260 nm.
- the irradiation is performed from the cleaning surface side. It has been found that the contact angle decreases in a short time, that is, good cleaning is performed in a short time.
