Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and specifically to a rectangular substrate EBR cleaning device and a cleaning method. Background Art

[0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing process, Edge Bevel Rinse (EBR) of photoresist is an important step. The edge bevel process is usually carried out after the photoresist is coated on the surface of the wafer and soft baking is completed. The purpose is to remove the overly thick photoresist on the edge of the wafer to prevent contamination or affect the flatness of the wafer during subsequent development and etching processes.

[0003] For example, an air flow enhanced monolithic rectangular substrate cleaning device with the publication number CN115069719B includes a rotating stage and a swing arm unit, and also includes a cavity unit located outside the rotating stage. The cavity unit includes an air inlet and at least one layer of deflector structure inside the cavity unit. The inclined baffle of the deflector structure can direct the air flow into the exhaust port around the annular groove and discharge it from the air extraction port on the side of the annular groove, so as to discharge the liquid medicine gas on the upper surface of the wafer as much as possible. The liquid medicine on the lower surface of the wafer can reduce the gas vortex generated on the lower surface of the wafer by setting air outlets on the inner walls of the thick column and the thin column of the console; However, temperature has a significant impact on the processing speed and effect of EBR edge beveling. A higher temperature can accelerate the reaction rate between the chemical solution and impurities, which helps to remove impurities and contaminants more thoroughly. However, too high a temperature will have an adverse effect on the stability of the chemical solution, which may cause the chemical solution to become unstable, and even may damage the components to be cleaned. Therefore, it is necessary to control the temperature within a suitable range. The operating temperature of the EBR edge removal solvent is usually at room temperature, that is, about 20 - 25 degrees Celsius. When the external environment temperature changes, it is not convenient to make the edge beveling operation use within the corresponding temperature range, reducing the flexibility of use.

[0004] At the same time, due to the good dimensional scalability, higher substrate utilization rate, and more diverse via formation technologies of rectangular substrates, their cost advantages are gradually reflected in multiple fields. However, the EBR edge beveling process, which is inseparable from its lithography process, cannot follow the traditional rotating EBR technical route for circular substrates due to the special nature of rectangular corners, and there is an urgent need for breakthroughs in process methods and equipment design.

[0005] Therefore, a rectangular substrate EBR cleaning device and a cleaning method are proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The air inlet pipe 520 is fixedly installed with the top of the upper cover body 2. There are no less than eight air blowing pipes 523. The first fan blade part 524 is located inside the annular groove 51, and the number of the first fan blade part 524 is the same as that of the air blowing pipes 523.

[0035] Embodiment 1: As Figures 4 - 12 shown, the liquid inlet pipe 516 is connected with an external cleaning agent pipeline. The electric push rod 3 is started. The elongation of the electric push rod 3 drives the upper cover body 2 to rise and open. The rectangular substrate 9 is placed on the top middle of the vacuum chuck 8 through an external manipulator. The vacuum chuck 8 is started to adsorb and fix the rectangular substrate 9. The drive motor 52 is started. The drive motor 52 drives the first gear 53 to rotate. The first gear 53 drives the bottom tooth block 55 and the internal gear ring 54 to rotate. The internal gear ring 54 drives the second gear 57 to rotate. The second gear 57 drives the rotating shaft 56 and the main bevel gear 58 to rotate.

[0036] The cleaning agent is sprayed out from the spray pipe 518 through the liquid inlet pipe 516. The moving block 514 drives the installation bar 517 and the spray pipe 518 to reciprocate. The spray pipe 518 has elasticity, so as to clean the relatively thick photoresist on one side of the rectangular substrate 9. After one side of the rectangular substrate 9 is cleaned, the stepping motor 7 drives the vacuum chuck 8 and the rectangular substrate 9 to rotate by ninety degrees to clean the next side of the rectangular substrate 9 until the cleaning of the four sides of the rectangular substrate 9 is completed. The cleaning liquid is collected through the liquid collecting tank 10.

[0037] When the external temperature changes, the drive motor 52 is not started, and hot air or cold air is introduced into the air inlet pipe 520. The temperature tester at the top of the upper cover 2 detects the temperature, so as to maintain the cleaning effect. The external air first fills the upper pipe body 519, and then the external air blows the sealing plate 527. The sealing plate 527 rotates and opens and acts on the torsion spring. The external air is then input into the lower pipe body 522, improving the uniformity of heating or cooling. The external air is then ejected from the blow pipe 523.

Finally, the external air is discharged and collected through the exhaust pipe 11, solving the problem that when the external environment temperature changes, it is not convenient to make the edge cleaning operation use in the corresponding temperature range, reducing the use flexibility.

[0038] An extraction component 6 is arranged inside the top cover 4. The extraction component 6 includes an upper motor 61 fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the top cover 4. The output end of the upper motor 61 passes through the top cover 4 and is fixedly connected with a rotating rod 62. A top groove 63 is opened in the middle of the top of the upper cover 2. Symmetrically fixed to the outer side of the lower part of the rotating rod 62 are side rods 66. One end of the side rod 66 away from the rotating rod 62 is fixedly connected with the same fixing ring 64. The fixing ring 64 is rotatably connected with the top groove 63. Arrayed and fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing ring 64 are second fan blade parts 65. Horizontally fixedly installed inside the top cover 4 is an activated carbon plate. Symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer side of the upper part of the rotating rod 62 are upper and lower scraping rods 67. The upper and lower scraping rods 67 are respectively in contact with the top surface and the bottom surface of the activated carbon plate. Fixedly installed on one side of the top of the top cover 4 is a discharge pipe 68.

[0039] Example two: As Figures 13 - 14 shown, for the harmful gases generated during cleaning, start the upper motor 61. The upper motor 61 drives the rotating rod 62 and the side rod 66 to rotate. The side rod 66 drives the fixing ring 64 to rotate. The fixing ring 64 drives the second fan blade parts 65 to rotate. The second fan blade parts 65 extract the harmful gases upward. The gases are treated by the activated carbon plate. The rotating rod 62 rotates to drive the upper and lower scraping rods 67 to rotate, facilitating the scraping and cleaning of the activated carbon plate. The discharge pipe 68 is connected to the external pipeline, facilitating the discharge of the gases.

[0040] An air inlet valve is also installed outside the upper cover 2 to keep the air pressure inside the upper cover 2 stable, solving the problem that during the edge cleaning of photoresist, harmful gases such as organic solvents and volatile organic compounds will be generated. These harmful gases not only pollute the environment but also may pose a hazard to the health of operators.

[0041] Working principle: When using this device, first, as Figures 1 - 14As shown, the liquid inlet pipe 516 is connected to an external cleaning agent pipeline. The electric push rod 3 is started, and when the electric push rod 3 extends, it drives the upper cover 2 to rise and open. The rectangular substrate 9 is placed in the middle of the top of the vacuum chuck 8 by an external manipulator. The vacuum chuck 8 is started to adsorb and fix the rectangular substrate 9. The drive motor 52 is started, and the cleaning agent is sprayed out from the spray pipe 518 through the liquid inlet pipe 516. The moving block 514 drives the mounting bar 517 and the spray pipe 518 to reciprocate, so as to clean the relatively thick photoresist on one side of the rectangular substrate 9. After one side of the rectangular substrate 9 is cleaned, the stepping motor 7 drives the vacuum chuck 8 and the rectangular substrate 9 to rotate by ninety degrees to clean the next side of the rectangular substrate 9 until the cleaning of the four sides of the rectangular substrate 9 is completed. The cleaning liquid is collected through the liquid collecting tank 10. When the external temperature changes, the drive motor 52 is not started, and hot air or cold air is introduced into the air inlet pipe 520. The external air is sprayed out from the air blowing pipe 523. The air blowing pipe 523 blows the first fan part 524, which will drive the first fan part 524 to rotate. The first fan part 524 drives the internal gear ring 54 to rotate, and the reciprocating spraying and cleaning of the spray pipe 518 can also be realized. The external air is finally discharged and collected through the exhaust pipe 11. For the harmful gases generated during cleaning, the upper motor 61 is started, and the second fan part 65 extracts the harmful gases upward. The gas is treated by the activated carbon plate. The rotating rod 62 rotates to drive the upper and lower scraping rods 67 to rotate, which is convenient for scraping and cleaning the activated carbon plate. The discharge pipe 68 is connected to an external pipeline for convenient gas discharge.
