Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bottom plate cleaning, and in particular to a method for cleaning bottom plates, which improves the cleaning efficiency of residues by driving the liquid material to rub or stir the liquid material with intermittent air flow fluctuations of increasing and decreasing pressure. Background Art

[0002] According to the advanced semiconductor device manufacturing, adhesives are often used for bonding between materials. Especially when bonding metals, some adhesives usually have high acid content and are corrosive to remove the tight oxide layer formed on the bonding surface. However, the corrosive nature of this adhesive seriously affects the performance of microelectronic components. Therefore, a cleaning step must be performed to remove the adhesive remaining on the bonding surface or the reaction residue between the adhesive and the metal oxide. Some adhesives will also leave some organic matter and leave a layer of grease on the bonding surface after use. Such grease must also be cleaned again to avoid subsequent reliability problems for semiconductor components. However, when the circuits on the substrate are getting denser or the protrusions on the substrate for bonding are getting smaller or the gap between the substrate and the solder pad is getting narrower, the above residues are becoming more and more difficult to clean. If the corrosive adhesives remaining on the substrate or the joint are not completely removed, the reliability of the components will be greatly reduced. In addition, if the above residues are cleaned in the current common way of using cleaning solvents, they will have an impact on the environment if not handled properly.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the cleaning of conventional advanced semiconductor components, how to develop a method for cleaning the bottom plate that is further ideal, practical and economical is what consumers are eagerly looking forward to, and it is also the goal and direction that related industries must work hard to develop breakthroughs.

[0004] In view of this, the inventor, based on his many years of experience in manufacturing, developing and designing related products, has designed and carefully evaluated the above-mentioned goals and finally obtained a truly practical present invention. Summary of the invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for cleaning a substrate, which utilizes a liquid material to cover the substrate to be cleaned, places it in a chamber, increases the temperature, and applies intermittent air flow fluctuations of increasing and decreasing pressure to drive the liquid material to rub or stir, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the residue.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a method for cleaning a substrate, which comprises: welding at least one welding sheet to a bonding substrate, filling a liquid material between the bonding substrate and the welding sheet to cover the surface of the substrate to be cleaned; placing the bonding substrate containing the liquid material in a chamber, controlling the chamber temperature to between 25 and 200° C., using a pressure increasing and reducing device and / or a vacuum generator to intermittently increase and decrease the pressure and / or intermittently evacuate the gas in the chamber to generate a wavy airflow, and utilizing the fluctuation change of the gas in the chamber to cause the liquid material to flow. The fluctuation of the material can produce a wave-like fluctuation friction and rubbing cleaning effect, or accelerate the dissolution of the material to be cleaned in the liquid material, such as adding sugar to water and stirring to accelerate the dissolution of sugar, and the fluctuation includes fluctuation under vacuum, fluctuation from high pressure to 1 atmosphere, or fluctuation from high pressure to vacuum. The fluctuation of the gas is used to cause the fluctuation of the liquid material, so that the liquid material in contact with the material to be cleaned is rubbed and washed by the friction caused by the greater energy generated by the fluctuation, and the material to be cleaned attached to the connecting bottom plate is removed from the connecting bottom plate and the liquid material. In addition, controlling the chamber temperature in the above-mentioned chamber to between 25 and 200°C will also cause the above-mentioned grease film or part of the material to be cleaned or the water vapor adsorbed inside the connecting bottom plate to volatilize and generate gas due to heat. The fluctuation under vacuum, fluctuation from high pressure to 1 atmosphere, or fluctuation from high pressure to vacuum, and the fluctuation of the gas are used to cause the fluctuation of the liquid material, and the multiple gases can also be discharged from the liquid material.

[0007] With regard to the technology, means and effects adopted by the present invention, a preferred embodiment is given herewith and described in detail with reference to the drawings. It is believed that the above-mentioned purpose, structure and features of the present invention can be understood in depth and concretely therefrom. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] (b) Covering liquid material 20a: filling a liquid material between the bonding substrate and at least one of the solder sheets to cover a substance to be cleaned on the bonding substrate;

[0018] (c) placing in a chamber 30a: placing the substrate containing the liquid material in a chamber;

[0019] (d) Controlling the chamber temperature 40a: controlling the chamber to at least one predetermined temperature, wherein the predetermined temperature may be in accordance with the viscosity of the liquid material and be between 25° C. and 200° C., so as to increase the fluidity of the liquid material;

[0020] (e) Intermittent wave cleaning 50a: A vacuum generator is used to generate intermittent low pressure control on the gas in the chamber, so that the gas molecules in the chamber produce a wave-like airflow, which is a fluctuation under low pressure, ranging from a maximum value of no more than 1 atmosphere to a minimum value of 10 -5The atmospheric pressure fluctuates intermittently, and the vacuum generator is used to intermittently vacuum absorb and release the low-pressure gas in the chamber, thereby generating gas fluctuation changes that cause fluctuation changes in the liquid material. The liquid material existing in at least one of the welding sheets and the bonding base plate can be pulled by the capillary force between each other and the surface tension of the liquid material so that the liquid material will not overflow even when a larger fluctuation is generated, and the liquid material in contact with the material to be cleaned can be rubbed and scrubbed by the greater energy generated by the fluctuation, and the material to be cleaned attached to the bonding base plate can be more effectively removed from the bonding base plate and the liquid material, achieving an effect that traditional solution cleaning cannot achieve. The liquid material fluctuation is pulled by the gas fluctuation, which can reduce the direct energy transfer and reduce the damage to objects or splashing of the liquid material caused by excessive fluctuation.

[0036] (e) Intermittent wave cleaning 50c: An increasing / decreasing pressure device is used to intermittently increase / decrease the pressure of the gas in the chamber, so that the gas molecules in the chamber generate a wavy airflow, which is a fluctuation from high pressure to 1 atmosphere, and the range is intermittent fluctuation between the maximum value of 50 atmospheres and the minimum value of 1 atmosphere. The increasing / decreasing pressure device is used to intermittently fluctuate the high-pressure gas to cause the fluctuation of the liquid material. The liquid material present in at least one of the welding sheets and the bonding substrate can be pulled by the capillary force between them and the surface tension of the liquid material so that there will be no overflow problem even when a larger fluctuation is generated.
