Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor chips, in particular to contact-type photolithography machine cleaning equipment. Background Art
[0002] A semiconductor chip is a miniature electronic device or component typically made of semiconductor materials such as silicon and germanium. It integrates numerous electronic components onto a very small semiconductor wafer through a complex series of processes, including photolithography, etching, and doping. The photomask is a key component in contact lithography machines for pattern transfer. Contact lithography machines create the chip's circuit pattern by placing the photomask in direct contact with the photoresist-coated wafer surface. The pattern on the photomask is then projected onto the wafer by irradiation, forming the chip's circuit pattern.
[0003] In the existing technology, the photoresist is in direct contact with the photoresist, and some photoresist is easily adhered to the photoresist. When the residual photoresist on the surface is mixed with unknown particles in the environment, in addition to the electrostatic adsorption of the particles themselves, the fixation of the photoresist is increased, making it difficult to remove the surface contamination of the photoresist, which brings various problems to the final photolithography process effect. Therefore, cleaning the photoresist is a very important step.
[0004] When cleaning the photoresist plate, it needs to be placed in a cleaning frame, and then the cleaning frame is placed in a cleaning tank. However, the width of the space inside the cleaning frame remains unchanged. When the thickness of the photoresist plate is small, the photoresist plate will be loose in the cleaning frame. During the ultrasonic cleaning process, the photoresist plate will shake due to vibration and easily collide with the cleaning frame, causing wear and even slight deformation of the photoresist plate, affecting the accuracy of pattern transfer in the subsequent photolithography process, reducing the photolithography effect of the photolithography machine, and affecting the manufacturing quality of the chip.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a contact lithography machine cleaning device to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. When using the present invention, tightening the tightening bolt causes the limited telescopic rod to rotate and retract, further rotating the rotating rod, rotating ring, and two curved tightening plates, generating relative tension on the two tightening blocks. The two tightening blocks drive the relative movement of the two tightening rods, which in turn drives the relative movement of the two adjustment frames. The photoresist is clamped and fixed using rubber nails, and then the rods on the outer surface of the clamping frame are inserted into the sockets. Due to the action of the rubber nails, the adjustment frame does not directly contact the photoresist, preventing damage to the photoresist from contact with the equipment. Two photoresist plates can be stacked inside a clamping frame, and eight photoresist plates can be immersed and cleaned simultaneously in the cleaning tank. The adjustment assembly provides an adjustable width and distance adjustment frame, which can flexibly clamp and fix photoresist plates of varying thicknesses, improving their firmness and stability. During the subsequent cleaning process, this prevents collision between the photoresist plate and the clamping frame, which could cause wear or deformation of the plate, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0021] 2. When using the present invention, an appropriate amount of acetone solution is injected into the cleaning tank and two plug-in covers are installed. An external ultrasonic generator is activated, and ultrasonic cleaning is performed by converting the ultrasonic wave into an ultrasonic wave through a transducer. When the ultrasonic cleaning is completed, the electric valve and recovery pump are opened, and the acetone solution is pumped into the filter through the discharge pipe for filtration. The acetone solution is then collected and recovered in the storage tank through the recovery pipe. Under the action of the ultrasonic cleaning component, the ultrasonic cleaning effect is achieved. Under the action of the recovery component, the cleaning liquid is recycled and reused, thereby improving the utilization rate and reducing resource waste.
[0022] 3. During use, the high-pressure pump and solenoid valve operate, sequentially spraying acetone solution onto the surface of the photoresist to rinse it, removing loose organic particles and stubborn inorganic particles. After a certain period of spraying, the nozzle begins spraying alcohol to clean the acetone solution from the surface of the photoresist, and finally rinses it with deionized water. Simultaneously, the screw drive mechanism is activated, and the nozzle moves up and down along the upper and lower drive mechanisms over the outer surface of the photoresist, spraying and rinsing. The high-pressure flushing assembly and drive assembly achieve multiple, multi-angle high-pressure flushing effects, further improving the photoresist cleaning effect.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The adjustment component 7 also includes eight tightening bolts 707, and one end of the eight tightening bolts 707 is fixedly connected to the limited telescopic rod 708. One end of the eight limited telescopic rods 708 is fixedly installed with a rotating rod 709, and the outer surface of the eight rotating rods 709 is fixedly installed with a rotating ring 710. The outer surface of the eight rotating rings 710 is fixedly installed with two arc-shaped tightening plates 711, multiple tightening The outer surfaces of the rods 704 are fixedly installed with tightening blocks 705, and the outer surfaces of the multiple arc-shaped tightening plates 711 are movably embedded in the interiors of the multiple tightening blocks 705. The eight adjustment frames 702 are evenly divided into four groups. The outer surfaces of the four groups of adjustment frames 702 are movably embedded in the interiors of the four clamping frames 701. One end of the eight rotating rods 709 is movably embedded in the outer surfaces of both sides of the four clamping frames 701. The outer surfaces of both sides of the four clamping frames 701 are fixedly installed with mounting plates 706. The outer surfaces of the eight tightening bolts 707 are movably embedded in the interiors of the eight mounting plates 706. The outer surfaces of both sides of the four clamping frames 701 are provided with two adjustment holes 712. The six adjustment holes 712 are grouped with two adjustment holes 712 distributed vertically, and the sixteen tightening rods 704 are grouped with two adjacent tightening rods 704. The outer surfaces of the eight groups of tightening rods 704 are movably embedded in the eight groups of adjustment holes 712. The adjustment component 7 also includes a fixing frame 714. The top of the fixing frame 714 is provided with eight sockets 715. The interiors of the eight sockets 715 are movably embedded with plug rods 713. The eight plug rods 713 are grouped with two plug rods 713 distributed horizontally. One end of the four groups of plug rods 713 is respectively fixedly installed on the outer surface of one side of the four clamping frames 701, and the bottom of the fixing frame 714 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface inside the cleaning tank 302.
[0040] In this embodiment, when in use, two adjustment frames 702 are provided inside each clamping frame 701, and the rubber nails 703 are installed on opposite sides of the two adjustment frames 702, and the rubber nails 703 are located at the side of the adjustment frames 702, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, eight rubber nails 703 are installed on each adjustment frame 702, which are respectively located at the four corners and the middle position, and the structure of the adjustment frame 702 is as follows Figure 10 As shown, the three thinner crossbars in the middle are located at the upper, middle and lower positions respectively. Place the photoresist plate in the clamping frame 701 and place it between the two adjustment frames 702, with the side of the photoresist plate facing outward and the side without photoresist facing the insertion rod 713. After placing one photoresist plate, place the second photoresist plate in the clamping frame 701 and place it on top of the first placed photoresist plate, so that the two photoresist plates are stacked up and down. Then tighten the tightening bolts 707 on both sides of the clamping frame 701 so that it moves toward the clamping frame 701 while rotating spirally inside the corresponding mounting plate 706. The structure of the limiting telescopic rod 708 is shown as follows. Figure 13 As shown, the tightening bolt 707 rotates and moves, driving the limiting telescopic rod 708 to rotate, and causing the limiting telescopic rod 708 to be squeezed and contracted, further driving the rotating rod 709 and the rotating ring 710 to rotate, thereby driving the two arc-shaped tightening plates 711 to rotate. The structure of the two arc-shaped tightening plates 711 is shown in FIG. Figure 12As shown, as the arc-shaped tightening plate 711 rotates, it generates relative tension on the two tightening blocks 705, thereby driving the two tightening blocks 705 to move relative to each other and the two tightening rods 704 to move relative to each other in the adjustment holes 712. The movement of the tightening rods 704 drives the two opposing adjustment frames 702 to move relative to each other, causing the rubber pins 703 to contact both sides of the photoresist plates. At this time, the rubber pins 703 at the four corners contact the two top corners of the upper photoresist plate and the two bottom corners of the lower photoresist plate, respectively. The four rubber pins 703 in the middle contact the two bottom corners of the upper photoresist plate and the two top corners of the lower photoresist plate, respectively. The upper and lower crossbars are located at the top of the upper photoresist plate and the bottom of the lower photoresist plate, respectively. The middle crossbar is located at the contact surface between the upper and lower photoresist plates. Under the action of the rubber pins 703, the adjustment frames 702 do not directly contact the photoresist plates, thus avoiding damage to the photoresist plates caused by instrument contact and not affecting the subsequent ultrasonic cleaning and rinsing of the photoresist plates. Once the photoresist plate in the clamping frame 701 is securely clamped, stop tightening bolt 707, then place the clamping frame 701 into the cleaning tank 302 with the side coated with photoresist facing the nozzle 414. Insert rod 713 into socket 715 to secure the clamping frame 701 and the photoresist plate to the outer surface of the fixing frame 714. Repeat this process to install three more clamping frames 701 into the cleaning tank 302. Two photoresist plates can be stacked and placed in one clamping frame 701, and a total of eight photoresist plates can be placed in four clamping frames 701. Eight photoresist plates can be immersed and cleaned simultaneously in the cleaning tank 302. Under the action of the adjustment component 7, an adjustment frame 702 that can adjust the width distance is set, which can flexibly clamp and fix photoresist plates of different thicknesses to improve their firmness and stability. In the subsequent cleaning process, it prevents the photoresist plate from colliding with the clamping frame 701, causing the photoresist plate to be worn or deformed, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect. It solves the problem that during ultrasonic cleaning, when the thickness of the photoresist plate is less than the internal width of the cleaning frame, the photoresist plate is easily collided with the cleaning frame, causing the photoresist plate to be worn or even slightly deformed, affecting the accuracy of pattern transfer in the subsequent photolithography process and reducing the photolithography effect of the photolithography machine.

The acetone solution then flows through the solenoid valve 403 into the connecting pipe 404, then sequentially into the T-tube 405, the flexible tube 406, and the fixed pipe 407. The solution then flows through the diverter pipe 412 into the two movable pipes 413 before being ejected through the spray head 414. At the same time, the screw transmission mechanism 501 drives the movable plate 502 and the fixed rod 503 to move up and down, driving the movable rod 504 and the U-shaped plate 505 to move up and down, and further driving the movable tube 413 and the diversion tube 412 to move up and down, so that the nozzle 414 moves up and down on the outer surface of the photoresist to spray acetone solution, rinse the photoresist, and spray off the loose organic particles on the surface and the more stubborn inorganic particles. When the high-pressure flushing time is set by the PLC controller 2, the rear solenoid valve 403 and the high-pressure pump 401 are automatically closed, and the front solenoid valve 403 and the high-pressure pump 401 are started. At this time, the corresponding liquid extraction pipe 409 extracts the alcohol into the liquid outlet pipe 402 and the connecting pipe 404, and then transports it to the nozzle 414 in sequence through the T-tube 405, the hose 406, the fixed pipe 407, the diversion pipe 412 and the movable pipe 413. At this time, the transmission component 5 drives the nozzle 414 to move up and down to spray alcohol on the photoresist to clean the acetone solution on the surface of the photoresist. The valve at the waste pipe 304 is opened in advance, and the alcohol after flushing is discharged through the waste pipe 304. One end of the pumping pipe 411 is connected to the deionized water storage tank. When the alcohol rinse time set on the PLC controller 2 ends, the front solenoid valve 403 and high-pressure pump 401 are closed, and the middle solenoid valve 403 and high-pressure pump 401 are opened. Deionized water is pumped through the pumping pipe 411 and transported to the mobile pipe 413 through the connecting pipe 404 and other pipes. The deionized water is sprayed through the nozzle 414 to remove residual acetone reagent. Thanks to the action of the high-pressure rinse assembly 4 and the transmission assembly 5, the effect of multiple, multi-angle high-pressure rinses is achieved, further improving the cleaning effect of the photoresist.
[0045] The entire mechanism works as follows: a photoresist plate is placed in a clamping frame 701, positioned between two adjustment frames 702, with the photoresist side facing outward. A second photoresist plate is then placed on top of the first. Tightening bolts 707 on either side of the clamping frame 701 are screwed, causing them to rotate and move toward the clamping frame 701. This rotates and contracts the telescopic limit rods 708, further driving the rotating rod 709 and rotating ring 710, which in turn rotates the two curved tightening plates 711. This generates tension on the two tightening blocks 705, which in turn drive the two tightening rods 704 to move relative to each other. This in turn drives the two adjustment frames 702 to move relative to each other, clamping the photoresist plate via the rubber nails 703. The clamping frame 701 is then placed inside the cleaning tank 302, and the insertion rod 713 is inserted into the insertion hole 715. Repeat this process until the other three clamping frames 701 are installed inside the cleaning tank 302. An appropriate amount of acetone solution is poured into the cleaning tank 302 for soaking, and then two plug-in covers 305 are installed. The external ultrasonic generator is activated, and the ultrasonic wave is converted into ultrasonic waves by the transducer 303 for ultrasonic cleaning. The cleaning time can be set through the control panel on the PLC controller 2. When the ultrasonic cleaning is completed, the electric valve 605 and the recovery pump 601 are opened, and the discharge pipe 603 pumps the acetone solution into the filter 602 for filtration. Then, it enters the corresponding liquid storage barrel 410 through the recovery pipe 604 for recovery. After the ultrasonic cleaning is completed, the high-pressure pump 401 and solenoid valve 403 at the rear are started, and the screw transmission mechanism 501 is started. After the high-pressure pump 401 is started, the liquid extraction pipe 409 pumps the acetone solution into the liquid outlet pipe 402, enters the connecting pipe 404 through the solenoid valve 403, and then enters the T-shaped pipe 405, the hose 406 and the fixed pipe 407 in sequence. It enters the two movable pipes 413 through the diverter pipe 412 and finally is sprayed out through the nozzle 414. At the same time, the screw drive mechanism 501 drives the movable plate 502 and fixed rod 503 to move up and down, driving the movable rod 504 and U-shaped plate 505 to move up and down, further driving the movable tube 413 and diverter tube 412 to move up and down, causing the spray head 414 to move up and down on the outer surface of the photoresist plate, spraying the acetone solution to rinse the photoresist plate. After the high-pressure rinse time set by the PLC controller 2 ends, the rear solenoid valve 403 and high-pressure pump 401 automatically close, and the front solenoid valve 403 and high-pressure pump 401 start. At this time, the corresponding liquid extraction pipe 409 pumps alcohol and delivers it to the spray head 414 to spray the alcohol to clean the photoresist plate. The valve at the waste liquid pipe 304 is opened in advance, and the alcohol after rinsing is discharged through the waste liquid pipe 304. After the alcohol rinse time set on the PLC controller 2 ends, the front solenoid valve 403 and high-pressure pump 401 are closed, and the middle solenoid valve 403 and high-pressure pump 401 are opened, and deionized water is pumped through the water extraction pipe 411 for cleaning.
