Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to an automatic glue removing and stripping machine, which is a device used for removing and stripping photoresist and metal layers on a wafer. Background Art
[0002] In the field of semiconductor technology, it is necessary to generate a metal layer on the surface of a wafer. The current common practice is to first generate a layer of photoresist on the wafer, then etch it to form linear grooves. Then, a metal layer is formed on the photoresist surface and within the wafer linear grooves by metal ion evaporation. Finally, the useless photoresist and metal layers are removed through a stripping and stripping process, while retaining the metal within the linear grooves. The current stripping and stripping device mounts the wafer on a rotating wafer holder, which is located in a cleaning chamber. Then, a deflecting nozzle sprays a stripping liquid on the surface of the wafer. After the spraying and stripping is completed, the wafer is transferred to a cleaning device for cleaning using a wafer transfer arm. However, the current stripping and stripping device has the following disadvantages: 1. The stripping and stripping is not thorough when the spraying method is used alone, and the spraying and stripping time is long. 2. The current spraying process is long, thus requiring a large amount of stripping liquid, which easily results in waste of the stripping liquid. 3. During the current spraying process, the stripping liquid will splash to various places in the cleaning chamber, causing corrosion to other internal parts. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The stripping chamber includes an outer fixing ring 4025, an inner fixing ring 4026 and a movable cover shell. The wafer holder 403 is located in the inner fixing ring 4026. The outer fixing ring 4025 and the inner fixing ring 4026 are fixed to the bottom of the outer cavity 401. The movable cover shell is lifted and installed on the outer cavity 401 and is located between the outer fixing ring 4025 and the inner fixing ring 4026. A spray window 4022 is provided at the upper end of the movable cover shell. The movable cover shell is driven by a second lifting power device. When the movable cover shell is at the lower dead point, the wafer holder 403 is exposed from the spray window 4022. The outer cavity 401 is provided with a first lifting swing arm 405 and a second lifting swing arm 404 on the outside of the stripping cavity. The ends of the first lifting swing arm 405 and the second lifting swing arm 404 are respectively installed with a normal pressure nozzle and a high pressure nozzle.

A feed port blocking device 406 is installed at the feed port 4011, and the feed port blocking device 406 includes a blocking plate 4061 slidably installed at the feed port 4011, and the blocking plate is driven by a blocking cylinder 4062. The exhaust port 4013 is connected to the exhaust system. The spray degumming and stripping device 4 can better remove glue and strip, reduce the consumption of stripping liquid, and also reduce the splashing of stripping liquid.
[0033] In this embodiment, the movable cover comprises a cover body 4021, with the spray window 4022 disposed in the middle of the upper end of the cover body 4021. The cover body 4021 is mounted on the outer chamber 401 via a lifting structure. An annular groove 4023 is disposed at the lower end of the cover body 4021, with the inner retaining ring 4026 positioned within the annular groove 4023. This movable cover has a rational structure, with the annular groove 4023 further protecting the inner retaining ring 4026, thus forming a double protective barrier to further prevent the stripping liquid from splashing out of the cleaning chamber 402. The lifting structure includes a plurality of lifting rods 409, the upper ends of which extend into the annular groove 4023 and are secured to the cover body 4021. A mounting ring is secured to the upper ends of the lifting rods 409, which is clipped or bolted into the annular groove 4023 to secure the lifting rods 409 to the cover body 4021.
[0034] The lower end of the lifting link 409 slides through the inner fixing ring 4026 and the bottom of the outer cavity 401. The lower end of the lifting link 409 is connected to the second lifting power device. The second lifting power device adopts a cylinder. The outside of the cover body 4021 is also provided with an outer cover shell 4024. An annular space is formed between the outer cover shell 4024 and the cover body 4021. The lower end of the outer cover shell 4024 is between the outer fixing ring 4025 and the inner fixing ring 4026. The lower end of the outer cover shell 4024 is lower than the lower end of the cover body 4021. The lifting structure is relatively easy to install and saves internal space. The use of the outer cover shell 4024 can further improve the protection capability. The number of the intermediate drain ports 411 and the inner drain ports 412 are both multiple and arranged in a circle. The bottom of the outer cavity 401 is respectively provided with an intermediate annular groove 4014 and an inner annular groove 4015 corresponding to the positions of the intermediate drain ports 411 and the inner drain ports 412. In this way, the intermediate annular groove 4014 and the inner annular groove 4015 can be used to collect the stripping liquid, making it convenient to discharge it from the intermediate drain ports 411 and the inner drain ports 412.
[0035] In this embodiment, the stripping liquid supply system includes a new liquid storage tank and a recovery liquid storage tank. The new liquid storage tank is connected to the high-pressure nozzle through the new liquid supply system, and the recovery liquid storage tank is connected to the lower nozzle and the normal-pressure nozzle through the recovery liquid supply system; the waste liquid collection system is connected to the recovery liquid storage tank through a recovery liquid replenishing pipeline, and a filter is provided on the recovery liquid replenishing pipeline. In this way, the recovery liquid can be used for spraying during normal-pressure spraying. The concentration of the recovered stripping liquid is relatively low, and the solid particles are removed after filtering through the filter. After spraying for a period of time, most of the photoresist is removed, and the metal lines on the surface of the wafer have been partially or completely exposed. At this time, the high-pressure new liquid is used for spraying and degumming, thereby reducing the consumption of stripping liquid while ensuring a good degumming and stripping effect.
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, an immersion degumming and stripping device 2 installed on a frame 1 is used to immerse the wafer in a stripping liquid to remove the glue; the immersion degumming and stripping device 2 includes an immersion machine base 201, an immersion cavity is provided on the immersion machine base 201, an operation window 202 is provided on the immersion cavity to facilitate the wafer transfer arm 7 to enter and exit the material, an immersion base 203 is provided on the immersion machine base 201 outside the immersion cavity, an immersion lifting seat 204 is vertically lifted and installed on the immersion base 203, the immersion lifting seat 204 is driven by a first lifting power device 410, and an immersion mounting seat 205 is provided on the immersion lifting seat 204.

At this time, the flower basket 207 suspended by the suspension adjustment device is in a horizontal state, which is convenient for the entry of the wafer. Every time a wafer is placed in the wafer placement slot on the flower basket 207, the lifting seat moves down by the height of the wafer placement slot so that the empty wafer placement slot is aligned with the operation window 202. When all the wafer placement slots are filled with wafers, the suspension adjustment device tilts the flower basket 207, and then the flower basket 207 is lifted by the first lifting device. The power device 410 drives the wafer to be immersed in the stripping liquid for debonding. Since the flower basket 207 is tilted, the wafers will all tilt toward one side. When entering the stripping liquid, the position of the wafer may change due to the influence of buoyancy, but since the wafer is tilted, it will still tend to the same side under the action of gravity, and finally lean on the side wall of the flower basket 207. At the same time, since the wafer is tilted during debonding, it can better facilitate the contact between the stripping liquid and the adhesive layer, especially the photoresist on the wafer will accelerate separation and falling off due to the tilt. After being lifted out of the stripping liquid, the suspension adjustment device can adjust the angle to make it horizontal, thereby facilitating the removal of the wafer.
