Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of dissolution silicon carbide wafer cleaning, and in particular to a dissolution silicon carbide wafer cleaning device and method. Background Art

[0002] Silicon carbide wafers are primarily used in LED solid-state lighting and high-frequency devices. This material boasts superior properties, including bandgap, drift velocity, breakdown voltage, thermal conductivity, and high-temperature resistance, several times higher than those of conventional silicon. This material offers irreplaceable advantages in electronics applications involving high temperature, high voltage, high frequency, high power, optoelectronics, radiation resistance, and microwave resistance, as well as in extreme environments such as aerospace, military, and nuclear power. In semiconductor device applications, as silicon carbide production costs decrease, its superior performance could potentially replace silicon as a chip, breaking the inherent performance bottleneck of silicon chips and revolutionizing the electronics industry. Silicon carbide's primary applications include LED solid-state lighting and high-frequency devices. In the future, the mobile phone and laptop backlighting market will drive significant demand growth for silicon carbide.

[0003] Silicon carbide is very hard, has excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, and is resistant to oxidation at high temperatures. However, the silicon carbide focusing ring itself is very brittle and easily shattered when subjected to external forces during cleaning. Dissolved silicon carbide is a type of silicon carbide. In the invention patent with publication number CN117766440A, entitled "Dissolved Silicon Carbide Wafer Cleaning Device and Method," a buffer stop is provided. During placement of the wafer into the wafer cassette, the buffer plate is adapted to slow the wafer's descent, preventing the wafer from descending too quickly and causing the bottom wall of the wafer to strike the transmission post. After the wafer contacts the transmission post, the two buffer plates can limit the wafer from above to increase the friction between the wafer's circumferential wall and the transmission post. However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the wafer is cleaned solely by flushing, resulting in poor cleaning results. Furthermore, the contact area between the wafer cassette and the wafer is large, resulting in numerous blind spots, which affect the cleaning effect of the wafer. Summary of the Invention
