Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of printed circuit board production and semiconductor chip cleaning technology, and in particular to an environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the electronics and information industry, semiconductor chip production has become particularly important in integrated circuit manufacturing, as the quality of semiconductor chips directly affects the quality of integrated circuits. In each stage of semiconductor chip production, contamination from dust particles and metals can easily damage circuit functions, causing short circuits or open circuits, leading to integrated circuit failure and geometric defects. Therefore, semiconductor chip cleaning is a crucial step. The main purpose of cleaning is to remove fine particulate contaminants, metal particles, organic matter, oil, wax, and photoresist residues left over from the previous process. While ensuring rapid and effective removal of these substances, the cleaning solution must not corrode or damage the metal components on the semiconductor chip. The cleaned semiconductor chip surface must meet technical requirements such as being corrosion-free, oxidation-free, bright, and residue-free. Simultaneously, the cleaning agent must not contain toxic or harmful components, and the waste liquid must be easily disposed of, effectively reducing the generation of harmful gases and avoiding environmental pollution.

[0003] Existing semiconductor chip cleaning agents often use hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, strong alkaline solutions, or surfactants containing phosphates. However, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid are corrosive and cannot remove particulate matter and organic components. Strong alkaline cleaning agents have unsatisfactory overall removal effects. While cleaning agents containing phosphate surfactants have better cleaning effects, they cannot remove photoresist and its residues, and they also pollute the environment, easily causing problems such as eutrophication and water pollution.

[0004] Existing technologies have always been limited in their scope, failing to achieve the simultaneous cleaning of semiconductor chip surfaces and removal of residues such as wax and photoresist, while also ensuring that the solution is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and harmless. For example:

[0005] 1) Chinese patent CN109679790A discloses a solvent-based cleaning agent with hydrocarbon solvent as the main component: it has good solubility for wax, but in the wax removal process, acetone is required to clean the residual cleaning agent. Acetone has a low boiling point, is volatile, and is consumed in large quantities. Not only is the waste liquid treatment environmentally unfriendly, but it also poses certain risks to the workshop environment and the health of operators.

[0006] 2) Chinese patent CN105542990A discloses a water-based LED chip cleaning agent. The cleaning agent has high cleaning efficiency and strong decontamination ability; good safety performance and does not pollute the environment; saves energy and has low washing cost; the cleaning agent can form a protective film on the chip surface during the washing process, isolate the air, prevent water and other molecules in the atmosphere from corroding the chip, and resist oxidation, but it cannot effectively remove wax and photoresist residues.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips, along with its preparation method and application, to address the problems of existing semiconductor chip cleaning agents, such as strong corrosivity, poor cleaning effect, poor removal of wax and photoresist, and serious environmental pollution. The goal is to create a semiconductor chip cleaning agent that can efficiently and quickly remove any residual substances from the semiconductor surface without the use of ultrasonic equipment, while also being environmentally friendly, having low production costs, and promoting sustainable development. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips, its preparation method, and its application. This environmentally friendly cleaning agent, under pure immersion conditions, can efficiently and quickly clean surfaces, removing any residual substances such as wax and photoresist. The cleaning time is short, it does not corrode or damage metal components, leaving the surface bright and free of oxidation. The cleaning rate reaches over 99.8%, improving quality yield. It also has positive implications for green environmental protection, low production costs, and sustainable development. Specifically, it includes the following technical solutions:

[0009] In a first aspect, an environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is provided, comprising the following components in mass concentration:

[0010]

[0011] The mass ratio of the accelerator to the dispersant is 1:(0.02-0.3);

[0012] The accelerator is selected from at least one of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, vinyltrimethylsilane, and dodecaguanidine acetate;

[0013] The dispersant is selected from at least one of sodium humate, sodium hexametaphosphate, and sodium tripolyphosphate.

[0014] The stripping agent is a mixture of alcohol ether, organic amine, surfactant and organic solvent, wherein the mass ratio of alcohol ether, organic amine, surfactant and organic solvent is 1:(0.05-0.3):(0.06-0.25):(1-6);

[0015] The alcohol ether is selected from at least one of propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, and glycerol polyoxyethylene ether; the organic amine is selected from at least one of N,N-diethylethanolamine, m-ethoxyaniline, and ethylene bis-stearamide; the surfactant is selected from at least one of cocoyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, and cetearyl glucoside; and the organic solvent is N,N-diethylformamide (DEF solvent).

[0016] Furthermore, the softening material is selected from at least one of dodecylpropyl betaine, N,N-diethylbenzylamine, dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, and trialkylamine; the penetrant is selected from at least one of disodium monolaurate sulfosuccinate, sodium diisooctyl succinate sulfonate, and sodium diisooctyl succinate sulfonate; and the metal protectant is selected from at least one of 2-undecylimidazoline, sodium 2-heptadecenyl-1-aminoethylimidazoline chloride, sodium lauroyl methylaminopropionate, and amide imidazole.

[0017] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the accelerator to the dispersant is 1:(0.02-0.25).

[0018] Furthermore, the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips comprises the following components in mass concentration:

[0019]

[0020] Furthermore, the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips comprises the following components in mass concentration:

[0021]

[0022] In a second aspect, a method for preparing an environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips according to the first aspect is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0023] The stripping agent, softening material, accelerator, dispersant, penetrant, metal protectant and deionized water are mixed and stirred for 1-2 hours at a water bath temperature of 50-60℃ and a rotation speed of 1000-2000 r / min to obtain the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips.

[0024] Furthermore, the stripping agent is obtained by mixing and stirring alcohol ethers, organic amines, surfactants and organic solvents for 10-30 minutes.

[0025] Thirdly, a method for cleaning semiconductor chips is provided, which uses the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips described in the first aspect to clean the semiconductor chips.

[0026] Furthermore, the cleaning of the semiconductor chip includes the following steps:

[0027] S1. Prepare an environmentally friendly cleaning solution containing 8-20% by mass of an environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips. Immerse the semiconductor chip in the environmentally friendly cleaning solution at a temperature of 35-40℃ for 5-10 minutes, and then remove the semiconductor chip.

[0028] S2. Rinse the semiconductor chip 2-3 times with deionized water at a temperature of 60-80℃, and then wipe the surface of the semiconductor chip with a dry cloth to complete the cleaning of the semiconductor chip.

[0029] Furthermore, in step S1, the environmentally friendly cleaning agent solution contains 10-12% by mass of an environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0031] (1) The hydrophobic groups among the stripping agent, softening material, accelerator, dispersant, penetrant, and metal protectant in the environmentally friendly cleaning agent used for semiconductor chips interact, softening contaminants such as wax and photoresist through the softening material. At the same time, the stripping agent has very good surface tension and penetration ability during the cleaning process, and can quickly replace or wet the interface between contaminants and the chip in a room temperature aqueous solution, ensuring that contaminants are peeled off from the surface of semiconductor chip electrode elements in a very short cleaning time, which greatly improves production efficiency. Meanwhile, through intermolecular chemical interaction with contaminants, the contaminants can be encapsulated in clusters, ensuring the hydrophobicity of the peeled contaminants in water. The contaminants will quickly disperse and suspend, and are not easy to re-adhere to the semiconductor chip electrode elements, making the semiconductor chip surface less susceptible to secondary contamination.

[0032] (2) The organic solvent in the stripping agent is replaced with N,N-diethylformamide (DEF solvent) instead of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP solvent) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF solvent), which can effectively reduce the generation of harmful gases and avoid environmental pollution.

[0033] (3) At a solution temperature of 35-40 degrees Celsius, without the use of ultrasonic equipment, the surface of semiconductor chips can be completely cleaned by pure immersion for 5-10 minutes. This thoroughly removes stubborn residues such as oil, oxides, fine metal particles, wax, and photoresist, achieving a cleaning and removal rate of over 99.8%. The cleaning agent does not corrode metal components, and the cleaned semiconductor chip surface is bright and free of oxidation, greatly improving production quality and saving production costs.

[0099] I. The Influence of Different Mass Concentrations of Softening Materials

[0100] The difference between Comparative Examples 1-3 and Example 1 is the mass concentration of the softening material; all other conditions are the same. Performance tests were conducted on the environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips from Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0101] Table 2. Performance test results of environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips in Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3.

[0102]

[0103] Figure 2 This is a diagram showing the effect of cleaning a semiconductor chip with an environmentally friendly cleaning agent, as described in Comparative Example 1 of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Table 2, when no softening material is added to the above-mentioned environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips (Comparative Example 1), the cleaning rate is poor, the surface appearance shows oxidation and poor color, and there is contamination and residue. When the mass concentration of the softening material is below 1 g / L (Comparative Example 2) or above 15 g / L (Comparative Example 3), the performance test results are unsatisfactory. Therefore, the preferred mass concentration of the softening material in the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is 2-15 g / L.

[0104] II. Effects of Different Accelerator Mass Concentrations

[0105] The difference between Comparative Examples 4-6 and Example 1 is the mass concentration of the accelerator; all other conditions are the same. Performance tests were conducted on the environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips from Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 4-6, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0106] Table 3. Performance test results of environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips in Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 4-6.

[0107]

[0108] As shown in Table 3, the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips without the addition of an accelerator (Comparative Example 4) exhibits poor cleaning efficiency, surface oxidation, poor color, and contamination and residue. Performance test results are unsatisfactory when the accelerator concentration is below 5 g / L (Comparative Example 5) or above 20 g / L (Comparative Example 6). Therefore, the preferred accelerator concentration in the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is 5-20 g / L.

[0109] III. Effect of Different Mass Concentrations of Dispersant

[0110] The difference between Comparative Examples 7-9 and Example 1 is the mass concentration of the dispersant; all other conditions are the same. Performance tests were conducted on the environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips from Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 7-9, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0111] Table 4. Performance test results of environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips in Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 7-9.

[0112]

[0113]

[0114] As shown in Table 4, when no dispersant is added to the above-mentioned environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips (Comparative Example 7), the cleaning rate is poor, the surface appearance shows oxidation and poor color, and there is contamination and residue. The performance test results are unsatisfactory when the mass concentration of the dispersant is below 0.2 g / L (Comparative Example 8) or above 2 g / L (Comparative Example 9). Therefore, the preferred mass concentration of the dispersant in the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is 0.2-2 g / L.

[0115] IV. The Influence of Different Mass Concentrations of Penetrant

[0116] The difference between Comparative Examples 10-12 and Example 1 is the mass concentration of the penetrant; all other conditions are the same. Performance tests were conducted on the environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips from Examples 1 and 10-12, and the results are shown in Table 5.

[0119] As shown in Table 5, when no penetrant is added to the above-mentioned environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips (Comparative Example 10), the cleaning rate is poor, the surface appearance shows oxidation and poor color, and there is contamination and residual adhesive. When the mass concentration of the penetrant is below 5 g / L (Comparative Example 11) or above 15 g / L (Comparative Example 12), the performance test results are unsatisfactory. Therefore, the preferred mass concentration of the penetrant in the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is 5-15 g / L.

[0120] V. Effect of different mass ratios of accelerator and dispersant

[0121] The difference between Comparative Examples 13-14 and Example 1 is the mass ratio of accelerator and dispersant; all other conditions are the same. Performance tests were conducted on the environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips from Examples 1 and 13-14, and the results are shown in Table 6.

[0122] Table 6. Performance test results of environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips in Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 13-14.

[0123]

[0124] As shown in Table 6, when the proportion of dispersant in the mass ratio of accelerator to dispersant in the above-mentioned environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is small (Comparative Example 13) or large (Comparative Example 14), the performance test results are not ideal. Therefore, the preferred mass ratio of accelerator to dispersant in the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is 1:(0.02-0.3).

[0125] VI. Effects of Different Mass Concentrations of Metal Protective Agents

[0126] The difference between Comparative Examples 15-17 and Example 1 is the mass concentration of the metal protectant; all other conditions are the same. Performance tests were conducted on the environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips from Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 15-17, and the results are shown in Table 7.

[0127] Table 7 Performance test results of environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips in Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 15-17

[0128]

[0129]

[0130] As shown in Table 7, when no metal protectant is added to the above-mentioned environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips (Comparative Example 15), the cleaning rate is poor, the surface appearance shows oxidation and poor color, and there is contamination and residue. The performance test results are unsatisfactory when the mass concentration of the metal protectant is below 0.02 g / L (Comparative Example 16) or above 0.1 g / L (Comparative Example 17). Therefore, the preferred mass concentration of the metal protectant in the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is 0.02-0.1 g / L.

[0131] VII. Effects of Different Mass Concentrations of Stripping Agent

[0132] The difference between Comparative Examples 18-20 and Example 1 is the mass concentration of the stripping agent; all other conditions are the same. Performance tests were conducted on the environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips from Examples 1 and 18-20, and the results are shown in Table 8.

[0133] Table 8 Performance test results of environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips in Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 18-20

[0134]

[0135] As shown in Table 8, when no stripping agent is added to the above-mentioned environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips (Comparative Example 16), the cleaning rate is poor, the surface appearance shows oxidation and poor color, and there is contamination and residual adhesive. When the mass concentration of the stripping agent is below 5 g / L (Comparative Example 19) or above 20 g / L (Comparative Example 20), the performance test results are unsatisfactory. Therefore, the preferred mass concentration of the metal protectant in the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is 5-20 g / L.

[0136] 8. Effect of different mass ratios and concentrations of alcohol ethers, organic amines, surfactants, and organic solvents in the stripping agent

[0137] The difference between Comparative Examples 21-22 and Example 1 is the mass ratio of alcohol ethers, organic amines, surfactants, and organic solvents in the stripping agent; all other conditions are the same. Performance tests were conducted on the environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips from Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 21-22, and the test results are shown in Table 9.

[0138] Table 9. Performance test results of environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips in Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 21-22.

[0139]

[0140] As shown in Table 9, when the mass ratio of alcohol ethers, organic amines, surfactants, and organic solvents in the stripping agent of the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is too low (Comparative Example 21) or too high (Comparative Example 22), the performance test results are not ideal. Therefore, the preferred mass ratio of alcohol ethers, organic amines, surfactants, and organic solvents in the stripping agent of the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips is 1:(0.05-0.3):(0.06-0.25):(1-6).

[0141] IX. Blank Example

[0142] The blank example differs from Example 1 in that the environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips contains only deionized water; all other conditions are the same. Performance tests were conducted on the environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips from Example 1 and the blank example. The test results are shown in Table 10.

[0143] Table 10 Performance test results of environmentally friendly cleaning agents for semiconductor chips in Example 1 and Blank Example.

[0144]

[0145]

[0146] As can be seen from the test results in Table 10, the performance test results of the blank example of the environmentally friendly cleaning agent used for semiconductor chips are very unsatisfactory.

[0147] In summary, this invention provides an environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips, its preparation method, and its application. Without the use of ultrasonic equipment, and under pure immersion conditions, it can efficiently and quickly clean the surface of semiconductor chips, removing any residual substances such as wax and photoresist. The cleaning time is short, it does not corrode or damage metal components, leaving the surface bright and free of oxidation. The cleaning rate reaches over 99.8%, improving quality yield. In this invention's environmentally friendly cleaning agent for semiconductor chips, N,N-diethylformamide (DEF solvent) replaces N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP solvent) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF solvent) in the stripping agent, effectively reducing the generation of harmful gases and avoiding environmental pollution. It also has positive significance for green environmental protection, low production costs, and sustainable development.
