[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1) The present invention first uses a surfactant treatment to improve the hydrophilicity of the silicon wafer surface, reduce the impact of the external environment on the silicon wafer surface, and at the same time make it easier to remove particles attached to the silicon wafer surface, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the silicon wafer.

[0026] 2) The present invention uses ozone water to pre-treat the silicon wafer, using the strong oxidizing property of ozone to remove residual organic matter on the surface of the silicon wafer, and at the same time can form a uniform and dense oxide film on the surface of the silicon wafer, providing a better surface state for subsequent cleaning and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0027] 3) The present invention adopts a vertical brushing method to clean silicon wafers. Compared with horizontal placement of silicon wafers, when silicon wafers are placed vertically, the cleaning conditions on both sides of the silicon wafers are consistent and the same cleaning effect can be achieved. Due to the effect of gravity, the particles peeled off by the brush can be more easily removed under the flushing effect of the cleaning liquid. Only pure water or ultra-low concentration SC-1 can be used as the cleaning liquid to achieve a good particle removal effect. At the same time, the use of pure water or ultra-low concentration SC-1 can minimize the corrosion of the alkaline solution on the surface of the silicon wafer, and can significantly reduce costs and reduce environmental pollution.

[0028] 4) The present invention uses a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and ozone water in combination with rotary spraying for cleaning, and the pollutants removed by cleaning are directly discharged with the cleaning liquid, avoiding the risk of pollutants dropped during the tank cleaning process remaining in the tank body and eventually being adsorbed by the silicon wafer again; at the same time, compared with the method of using HF acid and ozone water for circulating treatment, when the HF and ozone water mixed solution is used as the cleaning liquid, the oxidation and corrosion of the silicon wafer surface are carried out simultaneously, which can greatly improve the cleaning efficiency and improve the cleaning ability.

[0029] 5) In the scrubbing process, in addition to scrubbing the front and back sides of the silicon wafer, the present invention also adds an edge scrubbing brush to ensure the overall cleanliness of the silicon wafer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0030] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the process of cleaning a large-size silicon wafer after final polishing according to the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following examples will further illustrate the method provided by the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the listed examples, and should also include any other known changes within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, a large-size silicon wafer cleaning process after final polishing includes surface protection, pretreatment, scrubbing, rotary spraying and drying processes, and specifically includes the following process steps:

[0033] 1) Surface protection: The polished silicon wafer is first treated with a surfactant to improve the hydrophilicity of the silicon wafer surface.

[0034] The final polishing of the silicon wafer can be performed on all currently known final polishing machines, such as the Okamoto final polishing machine, and the polishing process uses the equipment standard process. The polished silicon wafer is first treated with a cleaning solution 1. Wherein, the cleaning solution 1 is a surfactant diluent, and the dilution ratio (volume ratio) is 1:50-100, for example, including but not limited to 1:60, 1:70, 1:80, 1:90, 1:100, preferably 1:80; the flow rate is 0.5-1.5L / min, for example, including but not limited to 0.5L / min, 0.8L / min, 1.0L / min, 1.2L / min, 1.5L / min, preferably 1.0L / min; the processing time is 50-70s, including but not limited to 50s, 60s, 70s, preferably 60s.

[0035] The above process can improve the hydrophilicity of the silicon wafer surface and reduce environmental impact.

[0036] 2) Then, pretreatment is performed by spraying the surface of the silicon wafer with cleaning liquid 2.

[0037] Among them, the cleaning liquid 2 used is ozone water, wherein the ozone concentration is 10-20ppm, for example, including but not limited to 10ppm, 12ppm, 15ppm, 18ppm, 20ppm, preferably 15ppm; the flow rate is 0.9-1.5L / min, for example, including but not limited to 0.9L / min, 1.2L / min, 1.5L / min, preferably 1.2L / min; the processing time is 50-70s, including but not limited to 50s, 55s, 60s, 65s, 70s, preferably 60s.

[0038] Through the above process, residual organic matter on the surface of the silicon wafer can be removed while forming a uniform and dense oxide film on the surface of the silicon wafer, thereby improving the subsequent cleaning efficiency.

[0039] 3) The silicon wafer is then scrubbed using pure water or SC-1 as a cleaning liquid with a brush to remove particles attached to the surface of the silicon wafer.

[0040] There are three brushes, which are used to clean the front, back and edges of the silicon wafer respectively, so as to ensure the overall cleanliness of the silicon wafer; the silicon wafer is placed vertically and the brushes are placed horizontally, which can maximize the use of gravity and reduce the difficulty of cleaning.

[0041] Specifically, the cleaning liquid is pure water (resistivity > 18.2MW) or SC-1, wherein the ratio of SC-1 is NH4OH:H2O2:H2O=1:1:120-1:2:100, including but not limited to 1:1:120, 1:1:100, 1:2:100, preferably 1:1:100; the cleaning liquid flow rate is 2-4L / min, including but not limited to 2L / min, 3L / min, 4L / min, preferably 3L / min; the silicon wafer rotation speed is 5-15rpm, including but not limited to 5rpm, 8rpm, 10rpm, 12rpm, 15rpm, preferably 10rpm; the brush rotation speed is 40-80rpm, including but not limited to 40rpm, 50rpm, 60rpm, 70rpm, 80rpm, preferably 60rpm; the processing time is 30-50s, including but not limited to 30s, 35s, 40s, 45s, 50s, preferably 40s.

[0042] The above process can effectively remove large particles attached to the surface of the silicon wafer.

[0043] 4) The silicon wafer is then subjected to a rotational spraying, and the silicon wafer is cleaned by a mixture of hydrofluoric acid and ozone water in conjunction with the rotation of the silicon wafer, and then cleaned with ozone water, and finally rinsed with pure water.

[0044] During the cleaning process, the speed of the silicon wafer is 800-1200rpm, including but not limited to 800rpm, 900rpm, 1000rpm, 1100rpm, 1200rpm, preferably 100rpm. First, it is cleaned with a mixture of HF acid and ozone water. The ozone concentration in the HF acid and ozone mixture used is 10-20ppm, including but not limited to 10ppm, 11ppm, 12ppm, 13ppm, 14ppm, 15ppm, 16ppm, 17ppm, 18ppm, 19ppm, 20ppm, preferably 15ppm; the mass fraction of HF acid is 0.5-1.5wt%, including but not limited to 0.5wt%, 0.6wt%, 0.7wt%, 0.8wt%, 0.9wt%, 1.0wt%, 1.1wt%, 1.2wt%, 1.3wt%, 1.4wt%, 1.5wt%, preferably 1.0wt%; flow rate is 0.5-1.5L / min, including but not limited to 0.5L / min, 0.6L / min, 0.7L / min, 0.8L / min, 0.9L / min, 1.0L / min, 1.1L / min, 1.2L / min, 1.3L / min, 1.4L / min, 1.5L / min, preferably 1.0L / min; processing time is 60±20s, including but not limited to 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, preferably 60s. Then, it is washed with ozone water, wherein the ozone concentration in the ozone water is 10-20ppm, including but not limited to 10ppm, 12ppm, 15ppm, 17ppm, 20ppm, preferably 15ppm; the flow rate is 0.5-1.5L / min, including but not limited to 0.5L / min, 0.6L / min, 0.7L / min, 0.8L / min, 0.9L / min, 1.0L / min, 1.1L / min, 1.2L / min, 1.3L / min, 1.4L / min, 1.5L / min, preferably 1.0L / min; the treatment time is 10-20s, including but not limited to 10s, 12s, 15s, 18s, 20s, preferably 15s. Finally, it is rinsed with pure water for 10-20s, including but not limited to 10s, 12s, 15s, 18s, 20s, preferably 15s.

[0045] The above process can effectively remove particles attached to the surface of silicon wafers and significantly reduce the level of metal contamination on the surface of silicon wafers. Finally, a hydrophilic silicon dioxide layer can be formed on the surface of silicon wafers, effectively reducing the attachment of pollutants and improving drying efficiency.

[0046] 5) Finally, the silicon wafer is dried by spin drying combined with nitrogen purging.

[0047] Wherein, the spin-drying speed is 1000-2000rpm, including but not limited to 1000rpm, 1200rpm, 1500rpm, 1800rpm, 2000rpm, preferably 1500rpm; the nitrogen flow rate is 15-20L / min, including but not limited to 15L / min, 18L / min, 20L / min, preferably 20L / min.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention adopts the method of vertical brushing + rotary spraying to clean silicon wafers. Compared with the horizontal placement of silicon wafers, the cleaning conditions on both sides of the silicon wafers are consistent when the silicon wafers are placed vertically, and the same cleaning effect can be achieved. Due to the effect of gravity, the particles peeled off by the brush can be more easily removed under the flushing effect of the cleaning liquid. Only pure water or ultra-low concentration SC-1 can be used as the cleaning liquid to achieve a better particle removal effect. At the same time, the use of pure water or ultra-low concentration SC-1 can minimize the corrosion of the alkaline solution on the surface of the silicon wafer, and can also significantly reduce costs and reduce environmental pollution. A mixed solution of HF acid and ozone water is used in combination with rotary spraying for cleaning. The pollutants removed by cleaning are directly discharged with the cleaning liquid, avoiding the risk of pollutants falling in the tank body during the tank cleaning process and being adsorbed by the silicon wafer again. At the same time, compared with the method of using HF acid and ozone water for circulating treatment, the use of a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and ozone water as the cleaning liquid can oxidize and corrode the silicon wafer surface at the same time, which can greatly improve the cleaning efficiency and cleaning ability.

[0049] The polishing process of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with more specific embodiments, but does not constitute any limitation.

[0059] Finally, the silicon wafer was dried by spin drying combined with nitrogen purging, with a spin drying speed of 1500 rpm and a nitrogen flow rate of 20 L / min.
