Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor processing technology, and in particular to a cleaning and drying apparatus for semiconductor wafers. Background Technology

[0002] A wafer is a silicon wafer used to fabricate silicon semiconductor circuits; its raw material is silicon. High-purity polycrystalline silicon is dissolved, doped with silicon crystal seeds, and then slowly pulled out to form cylindrical single-crystal silicon. The single-crystal silicon is then cut into circular wafers. During the production process, micro-particles adhere to the surface of the wafer, requiring cleaning and drying.

[0003] The existing equipment for cleaning and drying wafers primarily utilizes the high-energy frequency vibration effect combined with the chemical reaction of the cleaning agent to clean the wafer. In operation, the wafer is first placed on a turntable and fixed. As the turntable rotates, a nozzle sprays cleaning agent onto the wafer surface, which cleans the wafer. Finally, heated nitrogen or air is sprayed onto the wafer surface through a gas tube to achieve drying. However, the current nitrogen spray angle is fixed, which cannot adapt to wafers of different sizes or shapes. This results in some areas drying too quickly or leaving residual liquid, leading to uneven drying and even problems such as watermarks and spots. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Wherein, the plurality of T-shaped tubes 163 are communicated with the gas ring 169, the gas ring 169 is rotationally connected with the curved surface of the fixed seat 6, the upper portions of the plurality of slide rails 167 are fixedly connected with the curved surface of the gas ring 169, and the bottom ends of the plurality of slide rails 167 are fixedly connected with the box body 1.

[0048] Wherein, the lower toothless gear 164 is engaged with the lower toothed bar 168, and the circular ring 161 is fixedly connected with the plurality of lower toothed bars 168, and the action is that the lower telescopic rod 162 is slowly elongated to drive the circular ring 161 to move upwards, the circular ring 161 drives the lower toothed bar 168 to move upwards, so that the lower toothless gear 164 is rotated, and the gas outlet of the lower toothless gear 164 is slowly rotated to the edge of the semiconductor wafer, in the process, the wafer is driven to rotate by the rotating table 5, so that the wafer is dried more uniformly.

[0049] Wherein, the plurality of slide rails 167 are arranged at equal intervals in a circle, and the lower telescopic rod 162 is fixedly connected with the box body 1.

[0050] Wherein, the gas supply pipe 4 is made of soft material, and the sealing head 13 and the sealing ring 8 are made of rubber material, and the action is that the semiconductor wafer to be dried is placed on the upper surface of the fixed seat 6, so that the bottom surface of the semiconductor wafer is tightly attached to the upper surface of the fixed seat 6 and the upper surface of the sealing ring 8.

[0051] Working principle:

[0052] Before use, the inner telescopic rod 10 is in an elongated state, at this time, the sealing head 13 is in contact with the lower surface of the sealing ring 8, and the rotating arm 14 drives the air guide mechanism 15 to be located on the left side or the right side.

[0053] When the present application is used, the two sliding covers 2 are opened by sliding to the two sides, the semiconductor wafer to be dried is placed on the upper surface of the fixed seat 6, the bottom surface of the semiconductor wafer is tightly attached to the upper surface of the fixed seat 6 and the upper surface of the sealing ring 8, then the sliding cover 2 is closed, the inner telescopic rod 10 is shortened, the connecting disc 11 is driven to move downwards, the connecting head 12 and the sealing head 13 above are driven downwards, the space between the upper surface of the sealing head 13 and the bottom surface of the semiconductor wafer will be reduced in pressure, and in the process of moving downwards of the sealing head 13, the spaces above the plurality of sealing heads 13 are communicated through the connecting air channel 9, so that the pressure of the spaces above the plurality of sealing heads 13 is reduced.

[0054] The space between the upper surface of the sealing head 13 and the bottom surface of the semiconductor wafer is reduced in pressure, thereby attracting and fixing the semiconductor wafer to the upper surface of the fixing seat 6. The rotating table 5 rotates to drive the fixing seat 6 and the semiconductor wafer to rotate. Then, the rotating arm 14 drives the air guide mechanism 15 to rotate to the upper side of the fixing seat 6. The air supply mechanism 3 works to supply temperature-appropriate nitrogen to the air cavity 152 and the inside of the mounting cavity 7 through the air supply pipe 4. The temperature-appropriate nitrogen in the air cavity 152 enters the fan-shaped shell 156 and the upper T-shaped channel 158 first, and is finally discharged from the upper air guide cover 159. Since the openings of the plurality of upper air guide covers 159 are first aligned with the center of the semiconductor wafer, the discharged nitrogen first dries the center of the semiconductor wafer. Then, the upper telescopic rod 153 slowly extends to drive the cylinder 154 and the plurality of upper racks 155 to move downward, so that the upper toothless gear 157 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the air outlet of the upper air guide cover 159 to slowly rotate to the edge of the semiconductor wafer, so as to avoid the nitrogen hot air from drying a certain place of the semiconductor wafer all the time.

[0055] The nitrogen hot air entering the inside of the mounting cavity 7 enters the inside of the air ring 169, and then passes through the inside of the T-shaped pipe 163 and the lower T-shaped channel 165, and is finally discharged from the lower air guide cover 166. The lower telescopic rod 162 slowly extends to drive the circular ring 161 to move upward, and the circular ring 161 drives the lower rack 168 to move upward, so that the lower toothless gear 164 rotates. The air outlet of the lower toothless gear 164 slowly rotates to the edge of the semiconductor wafer, thereby drying the bottom edge of the semiconductor wafer.

[0056] Under the rotation of the rotating table 5, the nitrogen hot air discharged from the upper air guide cover 159 and the lower air guide cover 166 changes slowly from the middle part of the semiconductor wafer to the edge, thereby quickly drying the semiconductor wafer.
