TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of chip manufacturing technology, in particular to an integrated circuit chip manufacturing device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Wafer refers to the silicon wafer used in the process of manufacturing silicon semiconductor integrated circuit chip. It is called wafer because of its circular shape. Various circuit element structures can be processed and manufactured on the silicon wafer to become integrated circuit products with specific electrical functions. The manufacturing of integrated circuit chip is the core of electronic information industry and one of the most important high-techs to promote the development of national economy and social informationization. With the development of wafer towards large size and fine lines, the requirement for wafer surface flatness is also higher and higher. Therefore, chemical mechanical polishing equipment is also paid more and more attention in the field of integrated circuit. In the process of chemical mechanical polishing, the cleaning mechanism is the last link of the whole polishing process. Each detail of cleaning action and each structure of cleaning mechanism must be strictly controlled to ensure the cleanliness and flatness of wafer surface after cleaning, so as to realize the full cleaning of wafer and make the pass rate of wafer polishing process higher.
[0003] The cleaning of large-diameter wafer is not easy to ensure the completion of the cleaning process by using ordinary cleaning method. Single wafer cleaning method is usually used, that is, the cleaning liquid is used to fully clean only a single wafer during work, and then the next wafer is cleaned.
[0004] A patent in the prior art also appears a technical scheme about a cleaning device for single crystal silicon carbide wafer, such as a Chinese patent with application number 2019219085620 discloses a cleaning device for single crystal silicon carbide wafer, which comprises a bottom plate, a base is fixedly connected inside one side of the bottom plate, a first motor is fixedly connected at the inside center of the base, the rotating shaft top end of the first motor is fixedly connected with a turntable, a plurality of suction cups are fixedly connected to the top end of the turntable, a waste liquid tank is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the bottom plate, a lifting groove is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom plate, a fifth motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end center of the lifting groove, the rotating shaft top end of the fifth motor is fixedly connected with a threaded rod, and the inside center of the lifting seat is threadedly connected with a threaded rod. The utility model realizes the multi-axis rotation of the cleaning nozzle through the setting of multiple motors and rotating seats, rotates the wafer through the turntable, cooperates with the multi-axis rotation of the nozzle, realizes the omnidirectional cleaning of the wafer, increases the cleaning area, and reduces the time used for single-point water flow pre-cleaning. However, the above-mentioned patent still has defects. The dust cover needs to be opened when the single crystal silicon carbide wafer is installed and after the cleaning is completed, and the opening process of the dust cover takes a long time. Therefore, during batch production, the installation of the single crystal silicon carbide wafer takes a long time, which affects the cleaning efficiency of the single crystal silicon carbide wafer. And during the cleaning process, the single crystal silicon carbide wafer is fixed horizontally, and the upper surface is mainly affected by the cleaning liquid, so that the cleaning effect on the upper and lower surfaces is uneven, which may cause the lower surface of the single crystal silicon carbide wafer not to be completely cleaned. At this time, in order to ensure the cleanliness of the single crystal silicon carbide wafer, the single crystal silicon carbide wafer needs to be installed upside down, so that the lower surface moves to the upper surface and is cleaned again. Such cleaning process takes a long time and is low in efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the nozzle is conical, and the end of the nozzle is inclined towards the top of the No. 1 through hole.
[0010] In operation, because of the action of gravity, the cleaning liquid stream sprayed by the nozzle has a tendency to bend downward, in order to ensure that the portion of the wafer surface close to the top of the No. 1 groove is subjected to sufficient cleaning effect, the end of the nozzle is inclined upward, so that the cleaning liquid stream sprayed by the nozzle first acts on the portion of the wafer surface close to the top in the No. 1 through hole, and because the wafer is vertically fixed, the cleaning liquid on the wafer flows downward along the wafer surface, so that the cleaning effect on the wafer surface is more comprehensive.

[0044] The specific working process is as follows:
[0045] For the larger diameter wafer 6, in order to ensure that the wafer 6 is subjected to the cleaning process more quickly, improve the efficiency of cleaning, and then improve the work efficiency of the entire production line, first, the wafer 6 to be cleaned is fixed on the fixed ring 52; because the fixed ring 52 is spliced by two identical half rings 522, when installing the wafer 6, first, the edge part of the wafer 6 is inserted into the first annular groove 521 on the half ring 522, and then the two half rings 522 are combined at the end, so as to realize the fixation of the wafer 6 by the fixed ring 52; and the width of the fixed ring 52 is greater than the thickness of the wafer 6, so that the fixed ring 52 can protect the edge part of the wafer 6 during stacking and cleaning, so as to avoid damage to the edge part of the wafer 6 due to collision, and affect the integrity of the wafer 6; the telescopic rod 23 in the first cavity 22 is started, and the extension distance of the telescopic rod 23 is set, so that the telescopic rod 23 end pushes the first plate 511 to drive the fixed plate 51 to move upwards, and the first groove 512 on the fixed plate 51 is completely raised above the box cover 2, at this time, the cover plate 53 is rotated to expose the first groove 512, the fixed ring 52 is inserted into the first groove 512, and then the cover plate 53 is reset, at this time, the cover plate 53 is fixed by the mutual combination of the fixed magnets 531 on the top and the fixed magnets 531 on the corresponding part of the fixed plate 51, so as to ensure that the fixed ring 52 in the first groove 512 is subjected to the limiting action; after installation, the telescopic rod 23 is reset, at this time, the fixed plate 51 drives the fixed ring 52 to move vertically to the inside of the cleaning tank 1, after the fixed plate 51 moves to the corresponding position, the nozzles 42 on both sides of the fixed plate 51 are started, the cleaning liquid from the liquid storage cavity 4 forms a fine stream under the action of the nozzles 42, and acts on the two side surfaces of the wafer 6 through the first through hole 513; because the nozzles 42 are symmetrically arranged, it is ensured that the impact on the two side surfaces of the wafer 6 is uniform and symmetrical, and the water flow-shaped cleaning liquid contacts the surface of the wafer 6, and then flows outward along the surface of the wafer 6 under the action of the impact force, and finally flows downward under the action of gravity, so that the cleaning effect on the surface of the wafer 6 is more uniform and comprehensive; the cleaning liquid with the impurities and dust on the wafer 6 flows downward along the fixed plate 51 and falls on the top of the recovery cavity 3, enters the recovery cavity 3 through the first hole 32 and is recovered; after cleaning, the telescopic rod 23 is started again to move the fixed plate 51 upward, the cover plate 53 is opened, the cleaned wafer 6 together with the fixed ring 52 is taken out, and a new wafer 6 to be cleaned is replaced, which ensures the sealing of the inside of the cleaning tank 1 during the cleaning process, and does not need to be opened repeatedly, speeds up the fixing speed of the wafer 6, and improves the processing and cleaning efficiency of the wafer 6; during the cleaning process of the wafer 6, the cleaning liquid seeps into the gap part of the first annular groove 521 in the fixed ring 52, and flows in the first annular groove 521, and finally flows into the first groove 512 from the first through groove 523 uniformly distributed on the first annular groove 521;In the process, the cleaning liquid fully cleans the edge of the wafer 6, and the impurity particles in the cleaning process are taken away from the first through groove 523, ensuring that the wafer 6 is more fully cleaned, and ensuring that the inner surface of the first annular groove 521 is clean, facilitating the continuous use of the fixing ring 52, speeding up the cleaning efficiency of the wafer 6, and further ensuring the quality of the final chip production; the cleaning liquid flowing into the first groove 512 flows out through the second groove 514 and falls on the top of the recovery cavity 3, and the width of the first groove 512 is smaller than the diameter of the fixing ring 52, avoiding the fixing ring 52 from falling off the first groove 512, and speeding up the recovery of the cleaning liquid; starting the motor connected to the rotating shaft 517, so that the rotating shaft 517 drives the first gear 516 to rotate, and the first gear 516 is engaged with the driving teeth 524 arranged on the outer surface of the fixing ring 52, so that the first gear 516 drives the fixing ring 52 to rotate, and the rotating fixing ring 52 drives the wafer 6 to rotate, and the end of the nozzle 42 is not opposite to the center of the wafer 6, so that the water flow sprayed by the nozzle 42 can act on different parts of the rotating wafer 6, so that the impact on the surface of the wafer 6 is more uniform, and the cleaning effect is more comprehensive; and with the rotation of the fixing ring 52, the cleaning liquid in the first annular groove 521 rotates faster, so that the edge of the wafer 6 and the inner surface of the first annular groove 521 are more fully cleaned, further improving the cleaning efficiency of the wafer 6; and the evenly distributed driving teeth 524 on the outer surface of the fixing ring 52 accelerate the flow of cleaning liquid in the gap between the first groove 512 and the outer circular surface of the fixing ring 52, on the one hand, accelerating the flow of cleaning liquid out of the second groove 514 and speeding up the recovery of the cleaning liquid; on the other hand, the inner surface of the second groove 514 is more fully cleaned, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the inner surface of the second groove 514; in addition, the cleaning liquid seeps into the gap between the end of the driving tooth 524 and the inner surface of the second groove 514, lubricating the relative movement between the end of the driving tooth 524 and the inner surface of the second groove 514, and reducing the wear of the end of the driving tooth 524 on the inner surface of the second groove 514.
