Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of wafer processing equipment, and in particular relates to a rotary spray type integrated machine for wet wafer processing. Background Technology

[0002] The rotary spray wafer wet processing machine is a wet drying machine used in the semiconductor industry for wafer manufacturing. It can be used for wet processing of strong acids, strong alkalis, organic solvents, etc., and is suitable for most wet processes of wafers from 2 inches to 12 inches.

[0003] Currently, conventional spin-jet wet wafer processing machines require the use of chemicals to remove the photoresist from the wafer surface within the wafer processing cylinder during the photoresist removal process. The removed photoresist detaches into the chemical solution and is discharged from the wafer processing cylinder along with the solution, resulting in chemical waste. Existing spin-jet wet wafer processing machines employ a method where a filter bag is placed at the outlet of the wafer processing cylinder. The filter bag separates the photoresist from the chemical solution, collecting the photoresist within it. The filtered chemical solution then flows back to the chemical solution storage tank through a pipeline, avoiding waste. However, in actual operation, the filter bag needs to be replaced when it reaches a certain amount of photoresist. Obviously, this method is inconvenient, requires frequent replacement by operators, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The filtration mechanism includes a filter box and a filter element. The filter box is connected to the processing chamber via a drain pipe. The drain pipe is configured to discharge the mixed liquid after treatment in the processing chamber into the filter element. The filter element has multiple filter holes. A cavity for temporarily storing the filtered medicine or cleaning water is formed between the filter element and the filter box. The storage tank is configured to store the filtered medicine or cleaning water. The cavity is connected to the storage tank via a pipeline. After the treated mixed liquid is filtered by the filter element, the medicine or cleaning water enters the cavity. The filtered medicine or cleaning water in the cavity flows into the storage tank via a pipeline.

[0010] Furthermore, the spraying mechanism includes a nozzle assembly and a fine filter assembly. The nozzle assembly is mounted on the wafer processing cylinder, with the spray end of the nozzle assembly facing the wafer to be processed. The nozzle assembly is connected to the first end of the fine filter assembly via a pipeline, and the second end of the fine filter assembly is connected to the storage tank via a pipeline. The fine filter assembly is configured to perform secondary fine filtration on the filtered drug solution or cleaning water. The filtered drug solution or cleaning water located in the storage tank is transported to the nozzle assembly after secondary fine filtration by the fine filter assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the nozzle assembly includes several liquid supply channels and several sets of nozzle units, wherein:

[0012] The wafer processing cylinder has several liquid supply channels spaced circumferentially inside its inner wall, and each liquid supply channel corresponds to a set of nozzle units.

[0013] Each group of nozzle units includes a plurality of nozzles spaced apart along the length of the liquid supply channel. The wafer processing barrel is provided with a mounting hole that penetrates the liquid supply channel for each nozzle. Each nozzle is rotatably mounted in the corresponding mounting hole.

[0014] Each nozzle includes a first nozzle and a second nozzle. The first end of the second nozzle extends into the cavity of the wafer processing cylinder, and the second end of the second nozzle has a groove. A liquid spraying channel is provided inside the second nozzle. The first end of the first nozzle has a protrusion, and the second end of the first nozzle has an adjustment part. The first nozzle and the second nozzle are sealed and installed in the corresponding mounting holes. The protrusion is located in the groove, and a liquid distribution channel is formed between the protrusion and the groove. The first end of the liquid distribution channel is connected to the liquid supply channel, and the second end of the liquid distribution channel is connected to the liquid spraying channel. The first nozzle is rotated by adjusting the adjustment part, which in turn drives the second nozzle to rotate, thereby adjusting the liquid spraying angle of the nozzle.

[0015] Furthermore, each group of nozzle units also includes a pressure plate, which is detachably fixed to the outer wall of the wafer processing cylinder and presses against the adjustment portion of all the first nozzles of each group of nozzle units to fix all the nozzles of each group of nozzle units in the corresponding mounting holes. The pressure plate is provided with a through hole corresponding to the adjustment portion of each first nozzle, and a set of fixing holes is provided on the pressure plate corresponding to each nozzle. A threaded hole is provided on the wafer processing cylinder corresponding to the fixing hole, and a fixing screw passes through the fixing hole and is fixed in the corresponding threaded hole to detachably fix the pressure plate to the outer wall of the wafer processing cylinder.

[0016] Furthermore, the filtration mechanism also includes a cleaning pipe, a first control valve, and an air blowing assembly. The first end of the cleaning pipe is connected to the bottom end of the filter element, and the second end of the cleaning pipe is connected to the plant sewage pipe. After the treated mixed liquid is filtered by the filter element, the medicine or cleaning water enters the cavity. The colloids in the mixed liquid are separated into the filter element and discharged into the plant sewage pipe through the cleaning pipe. The first control valve is installed on the cleaning pipe and is configured to control the opening and closing of the cleaning pipe. The air blowing assembly is installed on the filter box, and the air blowing end of the air blowing assembly faces the filter element. The air blowing assembly is configured to blow air towards the colloids deposited in the filter element during sewage discharge.

[0017] During normal operation, the first control valve is in the closed state, and the colloid filtered by the filter element is deposited at the bottom of the filter element. When the amount of colloid deposited in the filter element reaches a preset value, the first control valve is in the open state, and at the same time, the air blowing assembly blows air into the colloid deposited in the filter element, so that the colloid in the filter element is discharged into the plant sewage pipe through the cleaning pipe.

[0018] Furthermore, the filtration mechanism also includes a rinsing assembly, which is configured to rinse the filter element after the colloid inside the filter element is discharged into the cleaning pipe, thereby cleaning the filter element. The rinsing assembly includes a rinsing pipe and a rinsing connector. The rinsing connector is installed on the filter box. The first end of the rinsing pipe is connected to the rinsing pipeline of the processing chamber. The cleaning water after cleaning the wafer processing chamber flows into the rinsing pipe through the rinsing pipeline. The second end of the rinsing pipe is installed on the rinsing connector.

[0019] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor and a first protective cover, wherein:

[0020] The fixed end of the drive motor is mounted on the wafer processing cylinder, and the drive end of the drive motor extends into the wafer processing cylinder and is connected to the rotating frame. The first protective cover is sealed and installed around the drive motor. An air inlet is provided inside the first protective cover, and gas is supplied into the first protective cover through the air inlet to create a positive pressure inside the first protective cover to prevent external gas from entering the first protective cover.

[0021] Furthermore, the rotary jet wafer wet processing integrated machine also includes a moving base and a locking assembly, wherein:

[0022] The wafer processing cylinder is mounted on the movable base, which is reciprocally mounted on the rack in a first direction to move the wafer processing cylinder to a working position or an operating position. The working position is located inside the rack, and the operating position is located outside the rack.

[0023] The locking component is configured to secure the movable seat, which is in the working position, to the frame.

[0024] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes two locking units spaced apart along a second direction. Each locking unit includes a locking element, a first disassembly assembly, and a second disassembly assembly. The locking element is a "Z"-shaped plate. The upper end of the locking element is detachably mounted on a preset position of the movable seat via the first disassembly assembly, and the lower end of the locking element plate is detachably mounted on a preset position of the frame via the second disassembly assembly.

[0025] Furthermore, the rotary jet wafer wet processing integrated machine also includes an automatic lifting door mounted on the frame, the automatic lifting door comprising a first drive assembly, a lifting component, a second drive assembly, and a door panel assembly; wherein:

[0026] The rack is provided with a first clearance hole, which is at the same height as the opening of the processing cavity of the wafer processing cylinder. The lifting component is movably mounted on the rack. The fixed end of the first drive assembly is mounted on the rack, and the drive end of the first drive assembly is connected to the lifting component. The first drive assembly is configured to drive the lifting component to move up and down.

[0027] The fixed end of the second drive member is mounted on the lifting member, and the drive end of the second drive member is connected to the door panel assembly. The second drive member is configured to drive the door panel assembly closer to or further away from the frame.

[0028] The first drive component drives the lifting member to rise to the height corresponding to the first clearance hole, and the second drive component drives the door panel assembly to move closer to the frame, so that the door panel assembly passes through the first clearance hole and closes the opening of the processing cavity.

[0029] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of the described rotary jet wafer wet processing integrated machine are as follows:

[0030] 1) Through the cooperation of the spraying mechanism, drive mechanism, filtration mechanism and storage tank, the spraying mechanism sprays the chemical solution or cleaning water onto the wafer located in the processing chamber to treat the wafer surface. The drain pipe discharges the mixed liquid after treatment in the processing chamber into the filter element. After the mixed liquid is filtered by the filter element, the chemical solution or cleaning water enters the chamber. The filtered chemical solution or cleaning water in the chamber flows into the storage tank through the pipeline. This realizes automatic filtration of the mixed liquid, eliminates the need for frequent operation by operators, saves time and labor. At the same time, the chemical solution or cleaning solution that flows back to the storage tank can be reused after fine filtration, which greatly reduces the processing cost of the wafer.

[0031] 2) By cooperating with the first and second nozzles, the nozzles can adjust the spray angle in the wafer processing cylinder, and at the same time, the liquid in the liquid supply channel is diverted, so that the nozzles clean the wafer more evenly and improve the wafer processing effect.

[0032] 3) Through the cooperation of the first control valve, the air blowing assembly and the filter element, the filtered colloid is first deposited in the filter element, and then discharged through the cleaning pipe after a certain amount of colloid has been deposited. This avoids the colloid clogging the filter pores of the filter element and improves the filtration efficiency and filtration effect of the filter element.

[0033] 4) A rinsing component is provided to rinse the filter element after sewage discharge, so as to prevent residual colloids from clogging the filter pores. Moreover, the rinsing component uses the secondary water used for wafer cleaning to clean the filter element, which saves water while ensuring rinsing effect, which is conducive to saving and reducing emissions and reducing production costs.

[0034] 5) With the cooperation of the moving base and the locking component, the moving base can be reciprocated along the first direction and installed on the rack to move the wafer processing tube to the working position or the operating position. The locking component fixes the moving base in the working position to the rack. When it is necessary to pick up or put down materials or perform maintenance, the operator only needs to move the moving base from the working position to the operating position to carry out subsequent operations, which is convenient.

[0035] 6) The opening and closing door of the rotary spray wafer wet processing integrated machine is set to a lifting type by means of the first drive component, the lifting component, the second drive component and the door panel component, which saves space. Attached Figure Description

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, a rotary spray type integrated wafer wet processing machine includes a frame 1 and a wafer processing cylinder 2, a spraying mechanism 3, a drive mechanism 4, a filtration mechanism 5, and a storage tank 6 disposed on the frame 1. The wafer processing cylinder 2 has a processing chamber 20 for wafer processing, and a rotating frame 21 for carrying the wafer to be processed is rotatably disposed within the processing chamber 20. The fixed end of the drive mechanism 4 is mounted on the wafer processing cylinder 2, and the drive end of the drive mechanism 4 extends into the processing chamber 20 and is connected to the rotating frame 21. The drive mechanism 4 is configured to drive the rotating frame 21 to rotate, thereby rotating the wafer to be processed. The spraying mechanism 3 is mounted on the wafer processing cylinder 2 and is configured to spray a chemical solution or cleaning water onto the wafer located in the processing chamber 20. The wafer surface is treated. The filtration mechanism 5 includes a filter box 50 and a filter element 51. The filter box 50 is connected to the processing chamber 20 through a drain pipe 52. The drain pipe 52 is configured to discharge the mixed liquid after treatment in the processing chamber 20 into the filter element 51. The filter element 51 has multiple filter holes 510. A cavity 500 for temporarily storing the filtered medicine or cleaning water is formed between the filter element 51 and the filter box 50. The storage tank 6 is configured to store the filtered medicine or cleaning water. The cavity 500 is connected to the storage tank 6 through a pipeline. After the treated mixed liquid is filtered by the filter element 51, the medicine or cleaning water enters the cavity 500. The filtered medicine or cleaning water in the cavity 500 flows into the storage tank 6 through the pipeline.

[0049] As can be seen, through the cooperation of the spraying mechanism 3, the driving mechanism 4, the filtering mechanism 5, and the storage tank 6, the spraying mechanism 3 sprays the chemical solution or cleaning water onto the wafer located in the processing chamber 20 to treat the wafer surface. The drain pipe 52 discharges the mixed liquid after treatment in the processing chamber 20 into the filter element 51. After the treated mixed liquid is filtered by the filter element 51, the chemical solution or cleaning water enters the chamber 500. The filtered chemical solution or cleaning water in the chamber 500 flows into the storage tank 6 through the pipeline. This realizes the automatic filtration of the mixed liquid, eliminates the need for frequent operation by operators, and saves time and effort. At the same time, the chemical solution or cleaning solution that flows back to the storage tank 6 can be reused after fine filtration, which greatly reduces the processing cost of the wafer.

[0050] In one embodiment, the spraying mechanism 3 includes a nozzle assembly and a fine filter assembly. The nozzle assembly is mounted on the wafer processing cylinder 2, with the spray end of the nozzle assembly facing the wafer to be processed. The nozzle assembly is connected to the first end of the fine filter assembly through a pipeline, and the second end of the fine filter assembly is connected to the storage tank 6 through a pipeline. The fine filter assembly is configured to perform secondary fine filtration on the filtered drug solution or cleaning water. The filtered drug solution or cleaning water located in the storage tank 6 is transported to the nozzle assembly after secondary fine filtration by the fine filter assembly.

[0051] In one embodiment, the nozzle assembly includes several liquid supply channels 30 and several sets of nozzle units 31, wherein: several liquid supply channels 30 are circumferentially spaced inside the wall of the wafer processing barrel 2, and each liquid supply channel 30 corresponds to a set of nozzle units 31; each set of nozzle units 31 includes multiple nozzles spaced along the length of the liquid supply channel 30, and the wafer processing barrel 2 is provided with a mounting hole penetrating the liquid supply channel 30 for each nozzle, and each nozzle is rotatably mounted in the corresponding mounting hole; each nozzle includes a first nozzle 310 and a second nozzle 311, the first end of the second nozzle 311 extending into the cavity 500 of the wafer processing barrel 2, the second nozzle 311 extending into the cavity 500 of the wafer processing barrel 2, the third nozzle 311 extending into the cavity 500 of the wafer processing barrel 2, the second ... The second end of the second nozzle 311 has a groove 34, and a liquid spraying channel is provided inside the second nozzle 311. The first end of the first nozzle 310 has a protrusion 33, and the second end of the first nozzle 310 has an adjustment part. After the first nozzle 310 and the second nozzle 311 are sealed and installed in corresponding mounting holes, the protrusion 33 is located in the groove 34, and a liquid distribution channel 32 is formed between the protrusion 33 and the groove 34. The first end of the liquid distribution channel 32 is connected to the liquid supply channel 30, and the second end of the liquid distribution channel 32 is connected to the liquid spraying channel. The first nozzle 310 is rotated by adjusting the adjustment part, which in turn drives the second nozzle 311 to rotate, so as to adjust the spraying angle of the nozzle.

[0052] As can be seen, by cooperating with the first nozzle 310 and the second nozzle 311, the nozzle can adjust the spray angle in the wafer processing cylinder 2, and at the same time, the liquid in the liquid supply channel 30 is diverted, so that the nozzle cleans the wafer more evenly and improves the wafer processing effect.

[0053] Specifically, each nozzle unit 31 also includes a pressure plate 35, which is detachably fixed to the outer wall of the wafer processing cylinder 2 and presses against the adjustment part of all the first nozzles 310 of each nozzle unit 31 to fix all the nozzles of each nozzle unit 31 in the corresponding mounting holes. The pressure plate 35 is provided with through holes corresponding to the adjustment part of each first nozzle 310. Obviously, fixing the nozzle by the pressure plate 35 is simple in structure, improves the installation stability of the nozzle, and is also easy to disassemble and install, which facilitates the later maintenance of the nozzle.

[0054] Specifically, a set of fixing holes is provided on the pressure plate 35 for each nozzle 31, and a threaded hole is provided on the wafer processing cylinder 2 for the corresponding fixing hole. The fixing screw passes through the fixing hole and is fixed in the corresponding threaded hole so that the pressure plate 4 can be detachably fixed to the outer wall of the wafer processing cylinder 2.

[0055] In one embodiment, the filtration mechanism 5 further includes a cleaning pipe 53, a first control valve 54, and an air blowing assembly 55. The first end of the cleaning pipe 53 is connected to the bottom end of the filter element 51, and the second end of the cleaning pipe 53 is connected to the plant's sewage pipe. After the treated mixed liquid is filtered by the filter element 51, the medicine or cleaning water enters the cavity 500. The colloids in the mixed liquid are separated into the filter element 51 and discharged into the plant's sewage pipe through the cleaning pipe 53. The first control valve 54 is installed on the cleaning pipe 53 and is configured to control the opening and closing of the cleaning pipe 53. The air blowing assembly... The air blowing assembly 55 is installed on the filter box 50, and the air blowing end of the air blowing assembly 55 is set towards the filter element 51. The air blowing assembly 55 is configured to blow air towards the colloid deposited in the filter element 51 during sewage discharge. During normal operation, the first control valve 54 is in the closed state, and the colloid filtered by the filter element 51 is deposited at the bottom of the filter element 51. When the amount of colloid deposited in the filter element 51 reaches a preset value, the first control valve 54 is in the open state, and at the same time, the air blowing assembly 55 blows air into the colloid deposited in the filter element 51, so that the colloid in the filter element 51 is discharged into the plant sewage pipe through the cleaning pipe 53.

[0056] As can be seen, through the cooperation of the first control valve 54, the air blowing assembly 55 and the filter element 51, the filtered colloid is first deposited in the filter element 51, and then discharged through the cleaning pipe 53 after a certain amount of colloid has been deposited. This avoids the colloid clogging the filter holes 510 of the filter element 51 and improves the filtration efficiency and filtration effect of the filter element 51.

[0057] In one embodiment, the filtration mechanism 5 also includes a rinsing assembly 56, which is configured to rinse the filter element 51 after the colloid in the filter element 51 is discharged into the cleaning pipe 53, so as to clean the filter element 51. The rinsing assembly 56 includes a rinsing pipe and a rinsing connector. The rinsing connector is installed on the filter box 50. The first end of the rinsing pipe is connected to the rinsing pipeline of the processing chamber 20. The cleaning water after cleaning the wafer processing chamber 20 flows into the rinsing pipe through the rinsing pipeline. The second end of the rinsing pipe is installed on the rinsing connector.

[0058] As can be seen, a rinsing component 56 is provided to rinse the filter element 51 after sewage discharge, so as to prevent residual colloids from clogging the filter holes 510 of the filter element 51. Moreover, the rinsing component 56 uses secondary water from wafer cleaning to clean the filter element 51, which saves water while ensuring rinsing effect, which is conducive to saving and reducing emissions and lowering production costs.

[0059] Specifically, the filter element 51 has a conical structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The density of the filter holes 510 on the filter element 51 increases from top to bottom, and the pore size of the filter holes 510 on the filter element 51 decreases from top to bottom.

[0060] Specifically, the storage tank 6 is located below the box body, and the filtered medicine in the cavity 500 flows into the storage tank 6 by its own weight.

[0061] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 40 and a first protective cover 41, wherein: the fixed end of the drive motor 40 is mounted on the wafer processing cylinder 2, and the drive end of the drive motor 40 extends into the wafer processing cylinder 2 and is connected to the rotating frame 21; the first protective cover 41 is sealed and mounted on the periphery of the drive motor 40, and an air inlet 410 is provided inside the first protective cover 41, through which gas is supplied into the first protective cover 41, so that a positive pressure is formed inside the first protective cover 41 to prevent external gas from entering the first protective cover 41.

[0062] As can be seen, by opening an air inlet 410 on the first protective cover 41, the first protective cover 41 is sealed and installed around the drive motor 40. Gas is supplied into the first protective cover 41 through the air inlet, so that a positive pressure is formed inside the first protective cover 41 to prevent external gas from entering the first protective cover 41. This can effectively prevent the evaporated medicine or cleaning water from sticking to the surface of the drive motor 40, and greatly improve the service life of the drive motor 40.

[0063] Specifically, the gas is nitrogen, which is configured to protect and cool the drive motor 40 when it is operating.

[0064] As one embodiment, a rotary spray type wafer wet processing integrated machine further includes a movable base 7 and a locking assembly 8, wherein: the wafer processing cylinder 2 is mounted on the movable base 7, and the movable base 7 can move along a first direction ( Figure 1 The wafer processing tube 2 is reciprocally mounted on the rack 1 in the X direction to move the wafer processing tube 2 to a working position or an operating position, wherein the working position is located inside the rack 1 and the operating position is located outside the rack 1; the locking assembly 8 is configured to fix the moving seat 7 in the working position to the rack 1.

[0065] As can be seen, with the cooperation of the movable seat 7 and the locking component 8, the movable seat 7 can be reciprocated and installed on the frame 1 in the first direction to move the wafer processing cylinder 2 to the working position or the operating position. The locking component 8 fixes the movable seat 7 in the working position to the frame 1. When it is necessary to pick up or put down materials or perform maintenance, the operator only needs to move the movable seat 7 from the working position to the operating position to carry out subsequent operations, which is convenient.

[0066] In one implementation, the locking component 8 includes two components along the second direction ( Figure 1 The locking units are spaced apart in the Y direction. Each locking unit includes a locking element 80, a first disassembly assembly 81, and a second disassembly assembly 82. The locking element 80 is a "Z"-shaped plate. The upper end of the locking element 80 is detachably mounted on the preset position of the movable seat 7 through the first disassembly assembly 81, and the lower end of the locking element 80 is detachably mounted on the preset position of the frame 1 through the second disassembly assembly 82.

[0067] Specifically, the locking member 80 has a reinforcing structure in the middle, which is a reinforcing rib 83. The first end of the reinforcing rib 83 is located in the middle of the locking member 80 along the height direction, and the second end of the reinforcing rib 83 extends to the lower end of the locking member 80.

[0068] Clearly, by setting up a reinforced structure, the strength of the locking component 80 has been greatly improved, and its service life has been extended.

[0069] Specifically, the two ends of the bottom of the movable seat 7 are slidably mounted on the frame 1 via sliding units. The sliding units include a first concave slide rail 84 mounted on the bottom of the movable seat 7 and a second concave slide rail 85 mounted on the frame 1. The concave surfaces of the first concave slide rail 84 and the second concave slide rail 85 are arranged opposite to each other.
