With the continuous reduction of the chip line width, any slight pollution on the wafer surface may cause circuit defects or even functional failure, therefore, the modern wafer cleaning equipment not only requires high efficiency, uniformity and low damage cleaning capacity, but also needs to maintain stable operation in different chemical environments such as strong acid, strong alkali or ultrapure water.

The cleaning machine outer tank body 1 and the wafer cleaning glass tank 2 are filled with ultrapure water. The wafer cleaning device is connected with a control cabinet, and the control cabinet is used to control the operation of the entire wafer cleaning device. During cleaning, the control system starts the ultrasonic device 4, the ultrasonic device 4 generates vibration, the vibration is transmitted to the wafer cleaning glass tank 2 through the ultrapure water, the wafer cleaning glass tank 2 drives the internal strong acid solution to vibrate and clean the wafer. The control system supplies water to the shunt water supply device 8 through the water supply equipment, the supplementary ultrapure water is evenly shunted to the inclined water outlet 82, the shunted ultrapure water enters the corresponding cyclone connecting seat 95 and the bubble removing uniform vibration head 91, and the treated ultrapure water is discharged into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3 and then into the cleaning machine outer tank body 1, achieving the purpose of continuously supplementing the loss of ultrapure water.
[0034] The shunt water supply device 8 includes a water supply shell 81, which is installed in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3. The water supply shell 81 is provided with a water inlet 83, and the water supply shell 81 is provided with a shunt cavity 84. The water supply shell 81 is provided with a plurality of inclined water outlets 82 at the top end, and the inclined water outlets 82 are in communication with the shunt cavity 84. The water supply shell 81 is provided with a bubble removing uniform vibration device 9, and the bubble removing uniform vibration device 9 is in communication with the inclined water outlets 82.
[0035] The water inlet 83 is connected with a water supply equipment, which is used to supplement the ultrapure water into the shunt cavity 84 through the water inlet 83. The supplementary ultrapure water is evenly shunted to the inclined water outlets 82, the shunted ultrapure water enters the corresponding cyclone connecting seat 95 and the bubble removing uniform vibration head 91, and the treated ultrapure water is discharged into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3 and then into the cleaning machine outer tank body 1.
[0036] The inclined water outlets 82 are inclined. The inclined water outlets 82 cooperate with the inclined cyclone connecting seat 95 and the bubble removing uniform vibration head 91 to make the water flow inclined into the cleaning machine outer tank body 1. When the inclined supplementary water contacts the original liquid, a transition area with speed from fast to slow and direction change occurs at their junction, high turbulent pulsation and local shear stress are generated in the area, which can effectively tear the gas bubbles, shear the large gas bubbles into small gas bubbles, and avoid the aggregation of gas bubbles.
[0037] The bubble removing and uniform vibrating device 9 comprises a plurality of spiral flow connecting seats 95 and a transmission tooth belt 92. The spiral flow connecting seats 95 are installed on the water supply shell 81 and communicate with the oblique water outlet 82. The spiral flow connecting seats 95 are rotatably installed with the bubble removing and uniform vibrating rotating heads 91. The connecting shell 96 is installed on the spiral flow connecting seats 95. The driving motor 93 is installed on the connecting shell 96. The driving gear 94 is installed on the output shaft of the driving motor 93. The transmission tooth belt 92 is engaged with the plurality of bubble removing and uniform vibrating rotating heads 91 for transmission. The transmission tooth belt 92 is engaged with the driving gear 94 for transmission.
[0038] The inner ring of the transmission tooth belt 92 is engaged with the transmission tooth and the driving gear 912 for transmission. The outer ring of the transmission tooth belt 92 is engaged with the driving gear 94 for transmission.
[0039] During the water supply of the water supply equipment, the control system starts the driving motor 93. The output shaft of the motor drives the driving gear 94 to rotate. The driving gear 94 drives the transmission tooth belt 92 to rotate through the driven gear. The bubble removing and uniform vibrating rotating heads 91 are driven to rotate through the driven gear. The shunt shell 911 rotates. The uniform water outlet 9111 on the shunt shell 911 continuously discharges water during the rotation process. The discharge direction and speed of the ultrapure water are continuously changed. The added ultrapure water forms a continuously changing propagation path in the original liquid to produce a disturbance effect. The continuous disturbance of the liquid changes the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave in the liquid synchronously. Therefore, the stable standing wave formed by the fixed sound wave in the square cleaning pool is avoided. The vibration around the glass slot 2 of the wafer cleaning is continuously changed and more uniform. The problems such as local stress concentration around the glass and even glass breakage are avoided. At the same time, the cleaning is also prevented from being uneven.
[0040] A plurality of spiral flow pieces 951 are arranged in the spiral flow connecting seat 95. The spiral flow connecting seat 95 is provided with a spiral flow cavity. The spiral flow cavity communicates with the oblique water outlet 82. The plurality of spiral flow pieces 951 are arranged in the spiral flow cavity. When the ultrapure water enters the spiral flow connecting seat 95 from the oblique water outlet 82, the ultrapure water is contacted with the annularly arranged spiral flow pieces 951. The ultrapure water is rotated under the action of the spiral flow pieces 951. The water flow generates a centrifugal force. The ultrapure water in the water flow is controlled to move outward because of the large mass. The bubbles in the water flow gradually move to the center of the water flow. When the water flow enters the shunt shell 911, the water flow on the outside quickly enters the area between the bubble removing inner shell 912 and the shunt shell 911 and is discharged from the uniform water outlet 9111. The bubbles in the center of the water flow are contacted with the hydrophobic porous membrane on the membrane frame 915 at the front end of the bubble removing inner shell 912. The hydrophobic porous membrane absorbs the contacted bubbles to achieve the bubble absorption effect.
[0041] The bubble removing uniform vibration rotating head 91 comprises a shunt shell 911, which is rotationally installed on the cyclone connecting seat 95, and a bubble removing inner shell 912 installed in the shunt shell 911, a rotating joint 916 rotationally installed on the bubble removing inner shell 912, a sliding detection plug 913 slidingly installed in the bubble removing inner shell 912, a membrane rack 915 installed on the bubble removing inner shell 912, a plurality of hydrophobic porous membranes installed on the membrane rack 915, and a pressure sensor installed on one side of the sliding detection plug 913 close to the membrane rack 915.
[0042] The rotating joint 916 is externally connected with a pressure control device, which is used to pressurize or depressurize the interior of the bubble removing inner shell 912 through the rotating joint 916. The hydrophobic porous membrane is used to pass air and block ultrapure water.
[0043] During water replenishment, the pressure control device depressurizes the adjusting area between the rotating joint 916 and the sliding detection plug 913 in the bubble removing inner shell 912, and the negative pressure makes the sliding detection plug 913 slide in the bubble removing inner shell 912 towards the rotating joint 916. After the sliding detection plug 913 slides, the collection area between the sliding detection plug 913 and the hydrophobic porous membrane is vacuumized, and the control system controls the moving distance of the sliding detection plug 913 through the electric signal transmitted by the pressure sensor, so that a moderate negative pressure appears in the collection area, so that the air bubbles in contact with the hydrophobic porous membrane can be accelerated to be sucked in.
[0044] During maintenance, the ultrapure water in the tank 1 outside the cleaning machine is discharged, and then the pressure control device pressurizes the adjusting area to make the sliding detection plug 913 slide reversely and discharge the collected air.
[0045] The membrane rack 915 is further provided with an anti-blocking needle 914, which penetrates through the cyclone connecting seat 95 and the inclined water outlet 82 and enters the shunt cavity 84.
[0046] After the anti-blocking needle 914 penetrates through the cyclone connecting seat 95 and the inclined water outlet 82, the needle tip thereof enters the shunt cavity 84. When a large air bubble appears to block the hole between the shunt cavity 84 and the inclined water outlet 82, the rotating needle tip can break the air bubble.
[0047] The shunt shell 911 is provided with a plurality of staggered water uniform outlets 9111, and a transmission gear 9112 is installed on the shunt shell 911 and engaged with the transmission toothed belt 92 for transmission.
[0048] The working principle of the present application is as follows: during cleaning, the control system starts the ultrasonic device 4, the ultrasonic device 4 generates vibration, the vibration is transmitted to the wafer cleaning glass tank 2 through ultrapure water, the wafer cleaning glass tank 2 drives the internal strong acid solution to vibrate and clean the wafer. The control system supplies water to the shunt water supply device 8 through the water supply equipment, the replenished ultrapure water is evenly shunted through the oblique water outlet 82, the shunted ultrapure water enters the corresponding cyclone connecting seat 95 and the bubble removal uniform vibration head 91, the treated ultrapure water is discharged into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3, and then enters the cleaning machine outer tank body 1, so that the purpose of continuously replenishing the consumed ultrapure water is achieved.
[0049] When the ultrapure water enters the cyclone connecting seat 95 from the oblique water outlet 82, it contacts the annularly arranged cyclone sheet 951, and rotates under the action of the cyclone sheet 951. The rotation of the water flow generates centrifugal force. The ultrapure water in the water flow is controlled to move outward because its mass is greater, and the bubbles in the water flow gradually move to the center of the water flow. When the water flow enters the shunt shell 911, the water flow on the outside quickly enters the area between the bubble removal inner shell 912 and the shunt shell 911, and is discharged from the water uniform outlet 9111. The bubbles in the center of the water flow contact the hydrophobic porous membrane on the membrane rack 915 at the front end of the bubble removal inner shell 912, and the hydrophobic porous membrane absorbs the bubbles in contact with it, achieving the bubble absorption effect.
[0050] During the water supply of the water supply equipment, the control system starts the driving motor 93, the motor output shaft drives the driving gear 94 to rotate, the driving gear 94 drives the transmission tooth belt 92 to rotate, and the transmission tooth belt 92 drives the bubble removal uniform vibration head 91 to rotate through the driven gear. The shunt shell 911 rotates, and the water uniform outlet 9111 on it continuously discharges water during the rotation process, constantly changes the water discharge direction and speed of the ultrapure water, and makes the replenished ultrapure water form a continuously changing propagation path in the original liquid, generating a disturbance effect. The continuous disturbance of the liquid changes the propagation path of the ultrasonic wave in the liquid synchronously, thereby avoiding the formation of a stable standing wave of the fixed sound wave in the square cleaning pool, making the vibration around the wafer cleaning glass tank 2 continuously change and more uniform, avoiding problems such as local stress concentration around the glass and even glass rupture, and also preventing uneven cleaning.
