Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of silicon wafer cleaning technology, specifically to a silicon wafer cleaning and drying system and operating process under a high-purity nitrogen atmosphere. Background Technology
[0002] Silicon is a gray, brittle, tetravalent nonmetallic chemical element. Silicon wafers, also known as silicon wafers, are made from silicon ingots. Through specialized processes, millions of transistors can be etched onto silicon wafers, which are widely used in the manufacture of integrated circuits. In the production of semiconductor devices, silicon wafers must undergo rigorous cleaning. Even trace amounts of contamination can lead to device failure. The purpose of cleaning is to remove surface contaminants, including organic and inorganic substances. Some of these impurities exist on the surface of the silicon wafer in atomic or ionic states, while others exist in thin film or particle form, which can lead to various defects. During the cleaning process, the dirt removed during each entry and exit of the cleaning tank is stirred up and mixed in with the cleaning solution, resulting in poor cleaning effectiveness.

[0018] An operating procedure for a silicon wafer cleaning and drying system under a high-purity nitrogen atmosphere includes the following steps:
[0019] Step 1, placing the silicon wafer: Open the two side clamps, so that the bottom plate moves backward along with the elastic cord and spring, and puts the silicon wafer into the placement slot. The elastic cord and spring are squeezed, so that the clamps hold the silicon wafer stably on both sides.
[0020] The second step is the metering of the cleaning fluid: The base moves with the conveyor, which moves the first serrated plate at the bottom of the base. The first serrated plate moves to the fifth gear, which rotates the fifth gear. The fifth gear drives the third rotating wheel to rotate through the sixth rotating shaft. The third rotating wheel drives the fourth clamping plate to rotate through the third connecting column located on it. The rotation of the fourth clamping plate pushes the fifth clamping plate to move upward. The fifth clamping plate drives the moving plate to move to the right. The moving plate pushes the connecting column to move. The connecting column pushes the locking pin to move to one side, allowing the liquid in the water column to flow out. Similarly, when the disc moves forward, it can push the locking pin in the opposite direction, preventing the liquid in the water column from flowing out.
[0021] The third step is silicon wafer rotation: the base moves, which drives the disc on the sliding plate to move. A hollow gear is fixed on the disc. When the disc moves forward, the hollow gear touches the third and second sawtooth plates located on both sides inside the cleaning machine, thereby causing the hollow gear to drive the disc to rotate.
[0022] The fourth step is the oscillation of the cleaning device: When the transmission device is running, it drives the first rotating wheel on the right to rotate. The first rotating wheel drives the second rotating shaft to rotate through the leather, thereby causing the conveyor belt located on the second rotating shaft to rotate. The conveyor belt drives the first conical tooth on the third rotating shaft to rotate through the second gear. The first conical tooth drives the threaded column on the fifth rotating shaft to rotate through the third conical tooth, causing the helical gear meshing with the threaded column to rotate, allowing the connecting block to oscillate up and down based on the fixed plate.
[0023] Step 5, silicon wafer cleaning: The liquid in the water column passes through the third pipe, then through the second pipe, and finally flows into the interior of the connecting block from the first pipe. It then enters the interior of the connecting block through several small holes on the fifth rotating shaft and is sprayed by the nozzle.
[0024] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a silicon wafer cleaning and drying system in a high-purity nitrogen environment, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] 1. This silicon wafer cleaning and drying system in a high-purity nitrogen environment operates by a conveyor that drives the first rotating wheel on the right side. The first rotating wheel drives the second rotating shaft via a belt, which in turn drives the conveyor belt. This causes the second and third gears on the conveyor belt to rotate. The second gear drives the first conical tooth to rotate via the third rotating shaft, which in turn drives the third conical tooth to rotate. The third conical tooth drives the threaded column via the third rotating shaft, which meshes with the helical gear, causing the helical gear to rotate. The helical gear drives the third clamping plate to rotate, causing the connecting block to swing up and down based on the fixed plate. The fifth rotating shaft rotates, causing the connecting block to rotate, thus achieving a swinging and rotating spraying effect.
[0027] 2. This silicon wafer cleaning and drying system in a high-purity nitrogen environment uses a conveyor to move the upper base. When the base moves, it moves the upper sliding block, which in turn moves the disc. When the disc moves forward, the hollow gear contacts the third and second sawtooth plates on both sides, causing the hollow gear to rotate. The rotation of the hollow gear causes the central column to rotate, which in turn causes the side wings on both sides to rotate, thus enabling multi-faceted cleaning of the silicon wafers during the cleaning process.
[0028] 3. This silicon wafer cleaning and drying system in a high-purity nitrogen environment moves the upper base by activating the conveyor device. As the base moves, the upper sliding block moves, which in turn moves the disc. This moves the clamping plates on both sides of the central column, placing the silicon wafer into the storage slot. The wafer is held in place by the fixing clamps on both sides. The clamping plates move the elastic rope and spring backward, causing the elastic rope and spring to be compressed, thus fixing the silicon wafer more stably in the storage slot. This achieves an adjustable size and increased stability.
[0029] 4. This silicon wafer cleaning and drying system in a high-purity nitrogen environment works by moving a disc forward, which in turn moves the first serrated plate at the bottom of the disc forward. During this movement, the first serrated plate rotates the fifth gear, which in turn rotates the third wheel via the sixth rotating shaft. The third wheel, via the third connecting column, rotates the fourth clamping plate. The rotation of the fourth clamping plate pushes the fifth clamping plate upward, which in turn moves the moving plate to the right. The moving plate then moves the connecting column, which in turn moves the locking mechanism to one side, allowing the liquid in the water inlet column to flow out. Similarly, when the disc moves forward, it can push the locking mechanism in the opposite direction, preventing the liquid in the water inlet column from flowing out. This allows for controlled release and shut-off of the cleaning reagent, achieving a reagent-saving effect.
[0030] 5. This silicon wafer cleaning and drying system under a high-purity nitrogen atmosphere involves placing cleaning reagent into the reagent tank of the feeding device. The cleaning reagent flows from the water inlet column to the third pipe, then from the third pipe to the second pipe, then from the second pipe to the first pipe, and finally reaches the inside of the connecting block. It then flows into the nozzle through a small hole above the fifth rotating shaft for spraying. There are two feeding devices in total, one containing cleaning reagent and the other containing pure water. When the disc moves to the second spraying device, the silicon wafer will be cleaned a second time. After cleaning, it is moved to the dryer for drying, thus achieving multiple cleaning and avoiding the effect of chemical contamination. Attached Figure Description

The two sides are clamped by the fixing clamps 52. The clamping plates 50 move the elastic rope 54 and spring 55 backward, so that the elastic rope 54 and spring 55 are compressed to generate squeezing force, so that the silicon wafer is more stably fixed on the storage slot 48, thereby achieving an effect of adjustable size and increased stability.
[0058] The second step involves the oscillation of the cleaning device: the operation of the conveyor 16 drives the first rotating wheel 18 on the right side to rotate. The first rotating wheel 18 drives the second rotating shaft 21 to rotate via the belt 19. The second rotating shaft 21 drives the conveyor belt 23 to rotate, causing the second gear 24 and the third gear 27 on the conveyor belt 23 to rotate. The second gear 24 drives the first conical tooth 26 to rotate via the third rotating shaft 25. The rotation of the first conical tooth 26 drives the third conical tooth 44 to rotate. The third conical tooth 44 drives the threaded column 41 to rotate via the fifth rotating shaft 40. The threaded column 41 meshes with the helical gear 39, causing the helical gear 39 to rotate. The helical gear 39 drives the third clamping plate 37 to rotate, causing the connecting block 35 to oscillate up and down based on the fixed plate 2. The operation of the fifth rotating shaft 40 drives the connecting block 42 to rotate, thereby achieving an effect of oscillation and rotational spraying.
[0059] The third step is silicon wafer rotation: the conveyor 16 drives the upper base 57 to move, and the upper sliding block 56 moves when the base 57 moves. The sliding block 56 drives the disc 45 to move. When the disc 45 moves forward, the hollow gear 47 touches the third serrated plate 80 and the second serrated plate 77 located on both sides, causing the hollow gear 47 to rotate. The rotation of the hollow gear 47 drives the central column 46 to rotate, which in turn drives the side wings on both sides to rotate, thus enabling the silicon wafer to be rotated and cleaned from multiple sides during the cleaning process.
[0060] The fourth step is the quantitative dispensing of the cleaning solution: The disc 45 moves forward, causing the first serrated plate 58 at its bottom to move forward as well. During this movement, the first serrated plate 58 drives the fifth gear 63 to rotate. The fifth gear 63, through the sixth rotating shaft 62, drives the third rotating wheel 64 to rotate. The third rotating wheel 64, through the third connecting column 65 located on it, drives the fourth clamping plate 66 to rotate. The rotation of the fourth clamping plate 66 pushes the fifth clamping plate 68 upward. The fifth clamping plate 68 drives the moving plate 69 to move to the right. The moving plate 69 pushes the connecting column 72 to move, and the connecting column 72 pushes the locking pin 73 to move to one side, allowing the liquid in the water inlet column 74 to flow out. Similarly, when the disc 45 moves forward, it can push the locking pin 73 in the opposite direction, preventing the liquid in the water inlet column 74 from flowing out. This allows for controlled release and shut-off of the cleaning reagent, achieving a reagent-saving effect.
[0061] The fifth step is silicon wafer cleaning: cleaning reagent is placed into the reagent tank 151 in the feeding device 15. The cleaning reagent flows from the water inlet column 74 to the third pipe 75, from the third pipe 75 to the second pipe 60, from the second pipe 60 to the first pipe 59, and finally reaches the inside of the connecting block 35. It flows into the nozzle 43 through the small hole above the fifth rotating shaft 40 for spraying. There are two feeding devices 15, one containing cleaning reagent and the other containing pure water. When the disc 45 moves to the second spraying device, the silicon wafer will be cleaned a second time, thereby avoiding chemical contamination and achieving the effect of multiple cleaning.

7. The operating process of a silicon wafer cleaning and drying system under a high-purity nitrogen environment according to claim 6 includes the following operating steps: Step 1, placing the silicon wafer: open the two side clamps (52), so that the bottom plate (50) moves the elastic rope (54) and spring (55) backward, and put the silicon wafer into the storage slot (48). The elastic rope (54) and spring (55) are squeezed, so that the clamps (52) stably hold the silicon wafer on both sides. The second step is to measure the cleaning fluid: the base (57) moves with the conveyor (16), which drives the first serrated plate (58) at the bottom of the base (57) to move. The first serrated plate (58) moves to the fifth gear (63) and drives the fifth gear (63) to rotate. The fifth gear (63) drives the third rotating wheel (64) to rotate through the sixth rotating shaft (62). The third rotating wheel (64) drives the fourth clamping plate (66) to rotate through the third connecting column (65) located on it. The rotation of the fourth clamping plate (66) pushes the fifth clamping plate (68) to move upward. The fifth clamping plate (68) drives the moving plate (69) to move to the right. The moving plate (69) pushes the connecting column (72) to move. The connecting column (72) pushes the lock (73) to move to one side, so that the liquid in the water inlet column (74) flows out. Similarly, when the disc (45) moves forward, the lock (73) can be pushed in the opposite direction, so that the liquid in the water inlet column (74) cannot flow out. The third step is silicon wafer rotation: the base (57) moves and drives the disc (45) on the sliding block (56) to move. A hollow gear (47) is fixed on the disc (45). When the disc (45) moves forward, the hollow gear (47) touches the third sawtooth plate (80) and the second sawtooth plate (77) located on both sides inside the cleaning machine, so that the hollow gear (47) drives the disc (45) to rotate. Fourth step, the cleaning device swings: When the transmission device (16) is running, it drives the first rotating wheel (18) on the right side to rotate. The first rotating wheel (18) drives the second rotating shaft (21) to rotate through the belt (19), thereby causing the conveyor belt (23) located on the second rotating shaft (21) to rotate. The conveyor belt (23) drives the first conical tooth (26) on the third rotating shaft (25) to rotate through the second gear (24). The first conical tooth (26) drives the threaded column (41) on the fifth rotating shaft (40) to rotate through the third conical tooth (44), causing the helical gear (39) meshing with the threaded column (41) to rotate, allowing the connecting block (35) to swing up and down based on the fixed plate (2); Fifth step, silicon wafer cleaning: The liquid in the water column (74) passes through the third pipe (75), then through the second pipe (60), and finally flows into the interior of the connecting block (35) from the first pipe (59). It enters the interior of the connecting block (42) through several small holes on the fifth rotating shaft (40) and is sprayed by the nozzle (43).
