Abstract

The invention discloses a single-wafer wet cleaning method which is used for cleaning wafers. The single-wafer wet cleaning method comprises multiple cleaning steps, wherein the same cleaning solution is adopted in the same cleaning step; the wafers in at least one cleaning step rotate at variable speeds; or the wafers in at least one cleaning step rotate in different directions; or the wafers in at least one cleaning step rotates at the variable speeds and in the different directions. By means of the single-wafer wet cleaning method provided by the invention, the problems of residual defects and the like caused by cleaning of a high-aspect-ratio structure with a conventional technology can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a single-chip wet cleaning method. Background technique [0002] The early wet process mainly adopts tank equipment for batch operation, which has high production efficiency and can also meet the process requirements. However, with the continuous development of the semiconductor process, the size of the silicon wafer has gradually developed from 8 inches to 12 inches and 18 inches, and the minimum line width of the chip has also gradually transitioned from the micron level to the nano level, such as 65nm, 40nm, 32nm, 22nm, etc. . With the increase of silicon wafer diameter and further reduction of device size, monolithic wet cleaning is widely used in IC manufacturing, especially in high-tech node IC manufacturing, due to its strong process environment control and particle removal capabilities, as well as flexible process adjustment capabilities. The process...
