The invention discloses a cleaning method for a
semiconductor photoetching
mask substrate, and belongs to the technical field of
semiconductor manufacturing. According to the method, dynamic cleaning logic of step cooperation and
energy matching is adopted, and the steps of interface
wetting and pre-cleaning, chemical
soft interface construction, low-damage mechanical stripping and synchronous washing, targeted reaction clearing,
microstructure deep cleaning, interface
dehydration and modification and
final energy-assisted
drying are sequentially executed. The method is characterized in that through the dependency relationship of chemical interface
softening and low-damage mechanical stripping in sequence, the rotation speed of a substrate in each step is strictly controlled to meet the specific dynamic relationship (V2 < V1 < V4 < V3 < V5 < V6), and precise cooperation of chemical action, physical stripping and energy field cleaning is achieved. The contradiction between efficiency and substrate damage in a traditional cleaning process is effectively solved, full-scale pollutants from micron-scale particles to nano-scale molecular
contamination can be removed without dead corners, and a clean, stable and secondary
pollution resistant surface state is actively reconstructed at a cleaning end point; and the cleanliness and the service life of the
mask substrate and the yield of a downstream photoetching process are remarkably improved.
