[0002] The silicon wafer processing process involves slicing, inserting, cleaning, drying, and sorting. The wafer cleaning machine operates as follows: the inserting machine loads the sliced wafers into a basket. The basket then enters a reagent tank, where chemical etching begins.

[0048] The following is a detailed description of a silicon wafer cleaning method provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0049] Reference Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for cleaning a silicon wafer according to an embodiment of the present application. The exemplary steps of the embodiment of the present application are described below:
[0050] S101. Obtain the current contaminated wafer risk level or oxidation wafer risk indicator corresponding to the target reagent tank, the actual silicon wafer cleaning volume, the theoretical silicon wafer cleaning volume, and the actual pH value and theoretical pH value of the reagent solution in the target reagent tank.
[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the current contaminated wafer risk level refers to the risk level of the silicon wafer currently being cleaned by the target reagent tank as a contaminated wafer (such as no risk, low risk, medium-low risk, medium-high risk and high risk). The actual cleaning volume of silicon wafers refers to the actual number of silicon wafers cleaned by the target reagent tank in the current cycle up to the current moment. The theoretical cleaning volume of silicon wafers refers to the theoretical number of silicon wafers cleaned by the target reagent tank in the current dressing cycle up to the current moment. The actual value of pH is the pH value. According to the preset time interval corresponding to the current cleaning time period of the target reagent tank in the current dressing cycle, the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank or whether there is an identification of the oxidation wafer risk, the actual cleaning volume of silicon wafers, the theoretical cleaning volume of silicon wafers, and the actual pH value and theoretical pH value of the reagent solution in the target reagent tank are obtained. Specifically, if the presence of the risk of oxidation wafer is marked as the corresponding mark for oxidation risk, then the current presence of the risk of oxidation wafer, the actual cleaning amount of silicon wafer, the theoretical cleaning amount of silicon wafer, and the current actual pH value and theoretical pH value of the reagent solution in the target reagent tank corresponding to the target reagent tank are obtained; if the presence of the risk of oxidation wafer is marked as the corresponding mark for no oxidation risk, then the current presence of the risk of oxidation wafer, the actual cleaning amount of silicon wafer, the theoretical cleaning amount of silicon wafer, and the current actual pH value and theoretical pH value of the reagent solution in the target reagent tank are obtained.
[0052] Taking a 24-hour dressing cycle (i.e., the target dressing tank changes the dressing solution once every 24 hours) as an example, the data is obtained every 3 hours for the first 6 hours; every 2 hours from 7 to 18 hours; and every hour from 19 to 24 hours.
[0053] Here, a medicine-taking mechanism is installed on the side of the target medicine tank, which automatically obtains the medicine solution from the target medicine tank according to the preset pH detection time interval; the obtained medicine solution is dropped on the pH test finger, and the pH test paper with the medicine solution is compared with the detection color card by AI intelligent recognition to obtain the actual pH value of the target medicine tank in the future within the time period corresponding to the pH acquisition time interval; or the medicine-taking mechanism automatically obtains the medicine solution from the target medicine tank according to the preset pH detection time interval; the obtained medicine solution is analyzed to obtain the actual pH value of the target medicine tank in the future within the time period corresponding to the pH acquisition time interval.
[0054] For example, if the preset pH value acquisition interval is 1 hour, the actual pH value obtained is the actual pH value within the next 1 hour.
[0055] Here, the theoretical pH of the current pH value of the reagent solution in the target reagent tank is calculated by the following formula: theory :
[0056] PHtheory =A-[x*(AB) / 24];
[0057] Among them, A is the upper limit value of the preset pH range of the medicine solution in the target medicine tank, x is the current cleaning time of the target medicine tank in the current medicine change cycle, and B is the lower limit value of the preset pH range.
[0058] Furthermore, the following steps are performed to obtain the current contaminated tablet risk level and whether there is an oxidation tablet risk indicator corresponding to the target reagent tank:
[0059] Step 1: Obtain the current silicon wafer cleaning quality corresponding to the target reagent tank and the number of silicon wafers whose silicon wafer cleaning quality is continuously abnormally high and whose surface color brightness is greater than a preset standard color brightness.
[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, obtaining the current silicon wafer cleaning quality corresponding to the target reagent tank includes: obtaining the surface silicon powder amount of the silicon wafer in the sorting process according to a preset quality detection time interval; if the surface silicon powder amount is greater than the preset maximum silicon powder amount, the silicon wafer cleaning quality of the target reagent tank in the future time period corresponding to the quality detection time interval is low quality (i.e., the silicon wafer currently cleaned by the target reagent tank is dirty); if the surface silicon powder amount is less than or equal to the preset maximum silicon powder amount and greater than the preset minimum silicon powder amount, the silicon wafer cleaning quality of the target reagent tank in the future time period corresponding to the quality detection time interval is high quality (i.e., the silicon wafer currently cleaned by the target reagent tank is clean); if the surface silicon powder amount is less than the preset minimum silicon powder amount, the silicon wafer cleaning quality of the target reagent tank in the future time period corresponding to the quality detection time interval is abnormally high quality (i.e., the silicon wafer currently cleaned by the target reagent tank is abnormally clean, and oxidation wafers may appear when it is abnormally clean).
[0061] Step 2: If the number of silicon wafers is greater than the preset number of silicon wafers (which can be set to 800), the presence of an oxidation risk indicator is determined as an oxidation risk corresponding indicator.
[0062] Step 3. If the number of silicon wafers is less than the preset number of silicon wafers, the mark indicating whether there is a risk of wafer oxidation is determined as the mark corresponding to no risk of oxidation; and based on the numerical relationship between the actual pH value and the theoretical pH value, the numerical relationship between the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer and the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, and the silicon wafer cleaning quality, the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is determined.
[0063] Specifically, if the actual pH value is less than the theoretical pH value, the actual silicon wafer cleaning amount is less than the theoretical silicon wafer cleaning amount, and the silicon wafer cleaning quality is high, then the reagent solution in the target reagent tank is stirred; if the pH value of the reagent solution after stirring is less than the theoretical pH value, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is medium-high risk.
[0064] Specifically, if the actual pH value is less than the theoretical pH value, the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer is less than the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, and the cleaning quality of the silicon wafer is low, then determine whether the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than or equal to the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than or equal to the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is medium-high risk; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is less than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is no risk.
[0065] In an embodiment of the present application, if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than or less than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, it means that the actual pH value and the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer do not increase or decrease proportionally; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is equal to the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, it means that the actual pH value and the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer increase or decrease proportionally.
[0066] Specifically, if the actual pH value is less than the theoretical pH value, the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer is greater than the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, and the cleaning quality of the silicon wafer is high, then determine whether the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is medium-high risk; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is less than or equal to the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is no risk.

[0068] Specifically, if the actual pH value is greater than the theoretical pH value, the actual silicon wafer cleaning amount is less than the theoretical silicon wafer cleaning amount, and the silicon wafer cleaning quality is high, then determine whether the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than the ratio of the actual silicon wafer cleaning amount to the theoretical silicon wafer cleaning amount; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than the ratio of the actual silicon wafer cleaning amount to the theoretical silicon wafer cleaning amount, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is medium-low risk; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is less than or equal to the ratio of the actual silicon wafer cleaning amount to the theoretical silicon wafer cleaning amount, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is no risk.
[0069] Specifically, if the actual pH value is greater than the theoretical pH value, the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer is less than the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, and the cleaning quality of the silicon wafer is low, then determine whether the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than or equal to the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than or equal to the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is medium-high risk; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is less than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is low risk.
[0070] Specifically, if the actual pH value is greater than the theoretical pH value, the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer is greater than the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, and the silicon wafer cleaning quality is high, then determine whether the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is medium-low risk; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is equal to the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is low risk; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is less than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is no risk.
[0071] Specifically, if the actual pH value is greater than the theoretical pH value, the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer is greater than the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, and the cleaning quality of the silicon wafer is low, then determine whether the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is greater than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is medium-low risk; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is less than the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is high risk; if the ratio of the actual pH value to the theoretical pH value is equal to the ratio of the actual cleaning amount of the silicon wafer to the theoretical cleaning amount of the silicon wafer, then the current contaminated wafer risk level corresponding to the target reagent tank is medium-high risk.
[0072] Furthermore, the theoretical cleaning volume of the silicon wafer is calculated using the following formula:
[0073] C theory =x*C / T;
[0074] Among them, C theory is the theoretical cleaning volume of the silicon wafer, x is the current cleaning time of the target reagent tank in the current reagent change cycle, and C is the preset total silicon wafer cleaning volume in one reagent change cycle T.
[0075] S102. Determine the target pH value corresponding to the target reagent tank or the cleaning time of the silicon wafer within a preset time period in the future based on the numerical relationship between the actual pH value and the preset pH range, whether there is an indicator of the risk level of wafer contamination or wafer oxidation risk, the theoretical pH value, the actual cleaning volume of the silicon wafer, and the theoretical cleaning volume of the silicon wafer.
[0076] Specifically, if the actual pH value is within the preset pH range corresponding to the target reagent tank, and the indicator indicating whether there is a risk of wafer oxidation is set to indicate the presence of a risk of wafer oxidation, the silicon wafer cleaning time within the future preset time period is calculated based on the actual pH value and the theoretical pH value.
