Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field should fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0020] Before describing the wheel body moisturizing method in the standby state of the embodiment, the application scenario of the wheel body moisturizing method in the standby state is briefly described for ease of understanding.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 The present invention is a schematic diagram of an exemplary driving mechanism corresponding to a wheel moisturizing method in a standby state according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The wheel moisturizing method in a standby state of the present embodiment can be used for a driving mechanism 100 in a wafer cleaning device. The driving mechanism 100 includes a wheel body and a rotating shaft 103. The rotating shaft 103 can rotate synchronously with the wheel body. A first flow channel 105 is arranged inside the rotating shaft 103. The first flow channel 105 is arranged axially along the rotating shaft 103. The wheel body includes a second flow channel arranged radially along the wheel body. The first flow channel 105 is connected to the second flow channel. The fluid is transported to the second flow channel through the first flow channel 105. The fluid flows out from the outer edge of the wheel body through the second flow channel. The outer edge of the wheel body is provided with a gap that cooperates with the wafer and communicates with the second flow channel. The residual contaminants in the gap between the outer edge of the wheel body and the wafer can be washed by the fluid, thereby preventing the wafer from being contaminated.
[0022] In an embodiment, the wheel body may be the wheel body of a driving wheel or the wheel body of a driven wheel, and the fluid is used to clean the wafer or the wheel body supporting the wafer, which may be water, chemicals or any other appropriate fluid, which is not limited in this application.
[0023] In an optional implementation, the wheel body may include an outer end cover 101, an inner end cover 102 and an annular gasket 104. The outer end cover 101 and the inner end cover 102 are arranged on the rotating shaft 103 to form a gap, and the annular gasket 104 is clamped in the gap. The side of the outer end cover 101 opposite to the annular gasket 104 is provided with a first branch flow channel 108, and the side of the inner end cover 102 opposite to the annular gasket 104 is provided with a second branch flow channel 107. The first branch flow channel 108 and the second branch flow channel 107 constitute a second flow channel. Figure 2 The edge of the outer end cover 101 may be provided with a plurality of notches 109 along the circumferential direction, and the fluid flows out from the notches 109; or the outer end cover 101 may not be provided with notches, and the fluid flows out in the tangential direction of the wheel body.
[0024] In the semiconductor field, wafer cleaning is a necessary process. Wafer cleaning is performed after each process procedure, resulting in a large amount of water consumption in wafer production. Deionized water is usually used for wafer cleaning, and the cost of producing deionized water is also high. It is not conducive to energy saving, emission reduction, and carbon reduction. The solution provided by this application not only improves the yield of wafers, but also saves additional cleaning resources caused by wafer contamination or wear, which is conducive to enterprises to carry out ESG (Environment, Society, Governance) management.
[0025] Reference Figure 3 , shows a step flow chart of a wheel body moisturizing method in a standby state according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application.
[0026] The wheel body moisturizing method in the standby state of this embodiment comprises the following steps:
[0027] S202: Determine whether the wheel body is in a standby state.
[0028] Specifically, according to different scenarios corresponding to the cleaning of wafers, such as cleaning wafers, replacing wafers, and pausing the cleaning of wafers, the state of the wheel body includes a working state and a standby state. Among them, the working state refers to the state in which the stationary time t of the wheel body is less than or equal to the preset time threshold TH. For example, the working state may include the rotation state of the wheel body (the corresponding scenario is that there is a wafer being cleaned on the wheel body) and the state in which the wheel body is stationary and the stationary time t is less than or equal to the preset time threshold TH (the corresponding scenario is to replace the wafer); the standby state refers to the state in which the stationary time t of the wheel body is greater than the preset time threshold TH, and the corresponding scenario is to suspend the cleaning of the wafer (i.e., there is no wafer on the wheel body for a long time). Among them, the preset time threshold TH can be flexibly set by those skilled in the art according to the interval time of replacing the wafer. For example, the preset time threshold TH can be 10 minutes, and this embodiment does not limit this. The state of the wheel body can be judged by the rotation of the wheel body, or the state of the wheel body can be determined by the opening of the drive mechanism, and this embodiment does not limit this.
[0029] See also Figure 4 In an optional implementation, determining the state of the wheel body includes: monitoring whether the wheel body is in a stationary state; if the wheel body is not in a stationary state, determining that the wheel body is in a working state; if the wheel body is in a stationary state, obtaining the stationary time t of the wheel body, if the stationary time t is less than or equal to a preset time threshold TH, determining that the wheel body is in a working state; if the stationary time t is greater than the preset time threshold TH, determining that the wheel body is in a standby state.
[0030] Exemplarily, a sensor can be used to monitor whether the wheel body is in a stationary state. If it is monitored that the wheel body is not in a stationary state, it is determined that the wheel body is in a working state; if it is monitored that the wheel body is in a stationary state, the stationary time t of the wheel body is further obtained. If the stationary time t is less than or equal to a preset time threshold TH, it is determined that the wheel body is in a working state; if the stationary time t is greater than the preset time threshold TH, it is determined that the wheel body is in a standby state.
[0031] In this implementation, by monitoring whether the wheel body is in a stationary state, it is convenient and quick to determine whether the wheel body is in a working state or a standby state. Furthermore, when the wheel body is in a working state, there may be an interval time for replacing wafers. In order to avoid misjudging the interval time for replacing wafers as a standby state, by setting a preset time threshold TH, the wheel body is further judged to be in a working state or a standby state according to the stationary time t of the wheel body, thereby improving accuracy.
[0032] When the wheel body is in working state, there are basically wafers on the wheel body, so the fluid is controlled to flow into the first flow channel in the first moisturizing mode, specifically, the fluid is controlled to flow into the first flow channel in the micro-positive pressure mode, wherein the pressure of the fluid in the micro-positive pressure mode is greater than 0psi and less than 100psi, thereby, the pressure generated by the fluid at the outer edge of the wheel body can be close to 0, and the micro-positive pressure state is maintained to ensure that contaminants do not flow into the flow channel, and the pressure generated by the fluid does not cause damage to the wafer. If it is monitored that the wheel body switches from a moving state to a stationary state, it means that the wafer cleaning is completed. At this time, the fluid is controlled to flow into the first flow channel in the first moisturizing mode, specifically, the fluid is controlled to flow into the first flow channel in a flushing mode to flush the wheel body, and the fluid can be controlled to increase the flow rate to flush the flow channel and the wheel body to minimize the contaminants remaining from the previous wafer cleaning.
[0033] In addition, if the wheel body is in working state, the control amount of the fluid can be determined according to the film running frequency of the driving mechanism, wherein the film running frequency refers to the number of wafers that the driving mechanism can process per unit time. According to different film running frequencies, different control amounts of the fluid are set to moisturize the wheel body during the film running process. The wheel body can be moisturized after rinsing and before the wheel body carries the next wafer. The control amount of the fluid can include the opening interval, duration and flow rate, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment.
[0034] In an optional implementation, the first moisturizing mode includes a correspondence between different frequency intervals and a control amount of the fluid, the control amount includes an opening interval and a duration, and if the wheel body is in a working state, the fluid is controlled to flow into the first flow channel in the first moisturizing mode to moisturize the wheel body, including: if the wheel body is in a working state, determining the running frequency of the wafer cleaning device for processing the wafer; based on the first moisturizing mode, determining a target control amount of the fluid corresponding to the target frequency interval according to the target frequency interval corresponding to the running frequency; according to the target control amount of the fluid, controlling the fluid to flow into the first flow channel to moisturize the wheel body.
[0035] Exemplarily, the first moisturizing mode includes a correspondence between different frequency intervals and the control amount of the fluid. When the wheel body is in working condition, multiple frequency intervals can be set, corresponding to the control amounts of multiple fluids. By determining the target frequency interval corresponding to the running frequency, the target control amount of the corresponding fluid can be determined, that is, the target opening interval and the target duration; according to the target control amount of the fluid, the fluid is controlled to flow into the first flow channel to moisturize the wheel body.
[0036] In this implementation, when the wheel body is in a working state, a correspondence between different frequency intervals and the control amount of the fluid is set, so that the corresponding control amount of the fluid can be determined according to the frequency interval reached by the running frequency of the wheel body, thereby reducing the fluid loss while ensuring the moisturizing effect of the wheel body in a working state.
[0037] In an optional implementation, the frequency interval includes a first frequency interval, a second frequency interval and a third frequency interval that do not overlap with each other. Based on the first moisturizing mode, according to the target frequency interval corresponding to the running frequency, the target control amount of the fluid corresponding to the target frequency interval is determined, including: if the running frequency of the wheel body is in the first frequency interval, the target control amount of the fluid is determined to be the first control amount; if the running frequency of the wheel body is in the second frequency interval, the target control amount of the fluid is determined to be the second control amount, the value in the second frequency interval is greater than the value in the first frequency interval, and the second control amount is less than the first control amount; if the running frequency of the wheel body is in the third frequency interval, the target control amount of the fluid is determined to be the third control amount, the value in the third frequency interval is greater than the value in the second frequency interval, and the third control amount is less than the second control amount.
[0038] Exemplarily, the frequency interval may include a first frequency interval, a second frequency interval, and a third frequency interval that do not overlap each other. For example, the first frequency interval is less than 5 pcs / h, the second frequency interval is 5-15 pcs / h, and the third frequency interval is 15-30 pcs / h. The first frequency interval, the second frequency interval, and the third frequency interval may be flexibly set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this. Among them, the value in the second frequency interval is greater than the value in the first frequency interval, and the value in the third frequency interval is greater than the value in the second frequency interval. Correspondingly, the second control amount is less than the first control amount, and the third control amount is less than the second control amount, that is, as the running frequency increases, the opening interval and duration of the fluid decrease.
[0039] Specifically, when the state of the wafer in the wafer cleaning device is combined for targeted control, the movement of the wheel body can be monitored, and the state of the wafer can be judged according to the movement state of the wheel body. If the wheel body is in motion, it means that there is a wafer on the wheel body, and the fluid is controlled to flow into the first flow channel in a micro-positive pressure mode, wherein the pressure of the fluid in the micro-positive pressure mode is greater than 0 psi and less than 100 psi.
[0040] When performing wafer cleaning, refer to Figure 1 , the side 106 of the annular pad 104 away from the rotation axis contacts the edge of the wafer through the gap, the outer end cover 101, the annular pad 104 and the inner end cover 102 rotate synchronously with the wafer around the axis direction of the rotation axis 103, and by maintaining a slight positive pressure of the fluid, after the fluid enters the first flow channel 105, the fluid flows through the first branch flow channel 108 and the second branch flow channel 107 respectively through both sides of the annular pad 104, and flows out from the side of the annular pad 104 away from the rotation axis, that is, flows out from the outer edge of the wheel body in the tangential direction of the wheel body. At this time, the control fluid flows into the first flow channel in a slight positive pressure mode, the fluid speed is low, and the pressure of the fluid is greater than 0psi and less than 100psi. While moisturizing the wheel body, it is ensured that the pollutants will be discharged outward with the flow of the fluid, and the pollutants are avoided from entering the interior of the flushing drive mechanism as much as possible, reducing the residual pollutants and ensuring the cleaning effect of the wafer.
[0041] Further, refer to Figure 2 The edge of the outer end cover 101 is provided with a plurality of notches 109 along the circumferential direction, and the height of the notches 109 can be the same as the gap on the wheel body. After the fluid flows through the first branch channel 108 and the second branch channel 107 respectively, it flows through the two sides of the annular pad 104, then passes through the gap in contact with the wafer, and finally flows out from the notch 109 of the outer end cover 101.
[0042] If it is determined that the wheel body is in the standby state, step S204 is first executed, and then step S206 is executed.
[0043] S204, controlling the fluid to flow into the first flow channel in the second moisturizing mode, and the fluid flows out from the outer edge of the wheel body through the second flow channel.
[0044] The first moisturizing mode is different from the second moisturizing mode.
[0045] For example, if the wheel body is in a standby state, the control amount of the fluid can be determined according to the standby time, and the control amount of the fluid can be set differently according to the different standby times. The control amount of the fluid can include an opening interval, a duration, and a flow rate, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment.
[0046] In an optional implementation, the second moisturizing mode includes a correspondence between different time intervals and a controlled amount of fluid, the controlled amount including an opening interval and a duration. If the wheel body is in a standby state, the fluid is controlled to flow into the first flow channel in the second moisturizing mode to moisturize the wheel body, including: if the wheel body is in a standby state, monitoring the standby time of the wheel body; based on the second moisturizing mode, determining a target controlled amount of the fluid corresponding to the target time interval according to a target time interval corresponding to the standby time; and controlling the fluid to flow into the first flow channel according to the target controlled amount of the fluid to moisturize the wheel body.
[0047] Exemplarily, the second moisturizing mode includes a correspondence between different time intervals and the controlled amount of fluid, referring to Figure 5 When the wheel body is in the standby state, multiple time intervals can be set, corresponding to the control amount of multiple fluids. A timer can be used to monitor the standby time of the wheel body, and the target time interval corresponding to the standby time can be determined, and then the target control amount of the corresponding fluid, that is, the target opening interval and the target duration, can be determined; according to the target control amount of the fluid, the fluid is controlled to flow into the first flow channel to moisturize the wheel body.
[0048] In this implementation, when the wheel body is in the standby state, a correspondence between different time intervals and the control amount of the fluid is set, so that the corresponding control amount of the fluid can be determined according to the time interval reached by the standby time of the wheel body, thereby ensuring the required moisturizing effect of the wheel body in the standby state and reducing fluid loss at the same time.
[0049] In an optional implementation, the duration interval includes a first duration interval, a second duration interval, and a third duration interval that do not overlap with each other. Based on the second moisturizing mode, according to the target duration interval corresponding to the standby time, the target control amount of the fluid corresponding to the target duration interval is determined, including: if the standby time of the wheel body is in the first duration interval, the target control amount of the fluid is determined to be the fourth control amount; if the standby time of the wheel body is in the second duration interval, the target control amount of the fluid is determined to be the fifth control amount, the value in the second duration interval is greater than the value in the first duration interval, and the fifth control amount is less than the fourth control amount; if the standby time of the wheel body is in the third duration interval, the target control amount of the fluid is determined to be the sixth control amount, the value in the third duration interval is greater than the value in the second duration interval, and the sixth control amount is less than the fifth control amount.
[0050] For example, refer to Figure 5 The duration interval may include a first duration interval, a second duration interval, and a third duration interval that do not overlap with each other. For example, the first duration interval is less than 2 hours, the second duration interval is 2 hours to 4 hours, and the third duration interval is greater than 4 hours. The first duration interval, the second duration interval, and the third duration interval may be flexibly set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions, and this embodiment does not limit this. Among them, the value in the second duration interval is greater than the value in the first duration interval, and the value in the third duration interval is greater than the value in the second duration interval. Correspondingly, the fifth control amount is less than the fourth control amount, and the sixth control amount is less than the fifth control amount, that is, as the standby time increases, the opening interval and duration of the fluid both decrease.
[0051] In this implementation, by setting the opening interval and duration of the fluid to decrease as the standby time increases, the required moisturizing effect of the wheel body in the standby state can be ensured, and at the same time, the fluid loss can be further reduced.
[0052] In an optional implementation, the control quantity also includes the opening flow rate of the fluid. In the first moisturizing mode, the first opening flow rate of the fluid corresponding to different frequency intervals is the same; in the second moisturizing mode, the second opening flow rate of the fluid corresponding to different time intervals is the same; the first opening flow rate is less than or equal to the second opening flow rate.
[0053] S206, sucking fluid from the first flow channel in a negative pressure mode to moisturize the wheel body.
[0054] The above steps S202-S206 can be repeatedly performed until the wheel body no longer needs to be moisturized.
[0055] By sucking fluid from the first flow channel in a negative pressure mode, the fluid or gas in and outside the wheel body can be sucked out.
[0056] In order to provide good support for the wafer and prevent metal ion contamination of the wafer, the parts of the wheel that may have direct or indirect contact with the wafer are generally made of non-metallic materials such as plastic or rubber.
[0057] The fluid is controlled to flow into the first flow channel in the second moisturizing mode. After the fluid flows out from the outer edge of the wheel body through the second flow channel, the fluid will stop flowing into the first flow channel. At this time, some residual droplets will exist in the first flow channel, the second flow channel and the outer surface of the wheel body, and some mist droplets will also exist in the environment. Due to the effects of gravity and other factors, the distribution of droplets and mist droplets is uneven, which leads to differences in the degree of degradation at different positions of the wheel body.
[0058] During the cleaning process, the wheel needs to stably support the wafer and rotate synchronously with the wafer. Wheels with different degrees of degradation will affect the cleaning effect of the wafer.
[0059] The solution provided in this embodiment, which draws fluid from the first flow channel in a negative pressure mode, can ensure a uniform moist environment of the wheel body and control the degree of moisture in the environment where the wheel body is located, thereby improving the moisturizing effect of the wheel body, slowing down the deterioration of the wheel body due to improper moisturizing, and increasing the service life of the wheel body.
[0060] Specifically, the fluid may be sucked from the first flow channel in a negative pressure mode to make water droplets disappear in the gap at the outer edge of the wheel body, so as to moisturize the wheel body through the ambient humidity.
[0061] In addition, the suction pressure in the negative pressure mode can also be greater than 0 psi and less than 100 psi, that is, a slight negative pressure that can suck out water droplets in the gap at the outer edge of the wheel body but will not affect the humidity of the environment.
[0062] In the present application, when it is determined that the wheel body is in the standby state, the fluid is first controlled to flow into the first flow channel in the second moisturizing mode, and the fluid flows out from the outer edge of the wheel body through the second flow channel; then the fluid is sucked from the first flow channel in a negative pressure mode. By combining the delivery of fluid to the first flow channel and the second flow channel with the suction of fluid from the first flow channel and the second flow channel, not only can the use of fluid be reduced, but also the moisturizing environment of the wheel body is ensured to be uniform, and the moisturizing degree of the environment in which the wheel body is located can be controlled, thereby improving the moisturizing effect of the wheel body, slowing down the degradation of the wheel body due to improper moisturizing, and improving the service life of the wheel body.
[0063] Another embodiment of the present application provides a wafer cleaning device, including: a fluid supply module, a driving mechanism and a controller, the driving mechanism includes a wheel body and a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft rotates synchronously with the wheel body, a first flow channel is arranged inside the rotating shaft, the wheel body includes a second flow channel arranged along the radial direction of the wheel body, the first flow channel is used to transport the fluid provided by the fluid supply module to the second flow channel, the fluid flows out from the outer edge of the wheel body through the second flow channel, the outer edge of the wheel body is provided with a gap that cooperates with the wafer and communicates with the second flow channel; the controller is used to execute the above-mentioned standby state wheel body moisturizing method.
[0064] In one implementation, the method for moisturizing the wheel body in a standby state may include: if it is determined that the wheel body is in a standby state, first controlling the fluid to flow into the first flow channel in a second moisturizing mode, and the fluid flows out from the outer edge of the wheel body through the second flow channel; then sucking the fluid from the first flow channel in a negative pressure mode to moisturize the wheel body.
[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment, the fluid is sucked from the first flow channel in a negative pressure mode to moisturize the wheel body, including: sucking fluid from the first flow channel in a negative pressure mode to the gap at the outer edge of the wheel body until water droplets disappear, so as to moisturize the wheel body through ambient humidity.
