[0017] A method for cleaning a single crystal silicon wafer comprises the following steps:

[0018] S1. First, prepare a bucket of sodium hydroxide solution with a concentration of 0.1M. This concentration can effectively remove inorganic pollutants on the surface while preventing excessive alkalinity from damaging the silicon wafer.

[0019] S2. Heat the solution to about 60°C. This temperature can accelerate the chemical reaction between the solution and the pollutants, making the cleaning process more efficient.

[0020] S3. Slowly immerse the silicon wafer in the heated sodium hydroxide solution so that the surface of the silicon wafer is completely in contact with the solution. Keep the immersion time at about 15 minutes. During this period, the silicon wafer can be gently shaken to ensure that the solution is fully in contact with the surface contaminants and reacts;

[0021] S4. After cleaning, the silicon wafer is taken out from the solution, and the single crystal silicon wafer is placed on the support tray 2, wherein the nozzle is connected to a deionized water pipe, and the nozzle moves back and forth and swings during movement to remove the residual alkaline components on the single crystal silicon wafer to prevent it from causing subsequent damage to the silicon wafer.

[0022] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0023] 1. The present invention can place a single crystal silicon wafer on the carrier tray 2 for subsequent cleaning by controlling the carrier arm 1 and the carrier arm 3 to rotate, and through the motor 2, the threaded channel and the threaded rod 1, the limit frames on the carrier arm 2 and the carrier arm 4 can move in the direction of each other, so that the single crystal silicon wafer can be centered;

[0024] 2. The present invention uses a pressurizer and an air pipe to add air to the guide channel.

At this time, the two carriers move toward each other, so that the impact of the single crystal silicon wafer can be reduced when it is vertically washed;

[0025] 3. The present invention uses the threaded transmission relationship between the second threaded rod and the internal threaded seat to make the support seat telescopic movement, and the linkage plate will come into staggered contact with the protrusions and grooves on the linkage frame, so that the linkage plate will reciprocate and telescopic movement. Under the action of the linkage rod, the transmission wheel rotates, and the transmission wheel engages with the transmission plate. At this time, the nozzle can rotate, and the surface of the single crystal silicon can be cleaned in two different forms: direct flushing and oblique flushing (direct flushing: when water directly rushes to the single crystal silicon wafer, the impact force may be large, which will better clean the tiny particles or pollutants on the surface of the silicon wafer, but at the same time, it may also cause some pollutants to slide on the surface of the silicon wafer instead of being thoroughly washed away; oblique flushing: when water rushes to the single crystal silicon wafer obliquely, the impact force may be dispersed, reducing the direct impact on the surface of the silicon wafer. This flushing method may make the water flow more evenly over the surface of the silicon wafer, which helps to take away more pollutants and improve the flushing effect). Through the cooperation of the two methods, the cleaning effect of the single crystal silicon wafer is improved;

[0026] 4. The present invention controls the telescopic rod to make the carrier plate fit with the back of the single crystal silicon wafer. After the vacuum pump is operated, the pressure in the carrier tray 2 causes the carrier plate to be sucked onto the back of the single crystal silicon wafer. At this time, when the motor 1 is running, it can link the telescopic rod and the single crystal silicon wafer to rotate, so that the single crystal silicon wafer can be fully cleaned, and the nozzle that cooperates with the telescopic movement can better clean the single crystal silicon wafer.
