DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, the present application provides a technical scheme of a surface self-cleaning spraying disc automatic spraying device, which comprises a box 1, a general control module 2, a heating module 3, a carrying mechanical arm 4, a coating mechanism 5, a rotating mechanism 6 and a clamping chuck 7. The box 1 is provided with cabinet doors 11 and rotating holes 12. The coating mechanism 5 comprises a three-axis displacement module 51 and a cleaning mechanism 54. The cleaning mechanism 54 comprises a base 541. The rotating mechanism 6 comprises a bottom column 62 and a driving motor 63. The cabinet doors 11 are provided in two groups. The general control module 2, the heating module 3, the carrying mechanical arm 4, the three-axis displacement module 51, the base 541 and the driving motor 63 are fixedly connected with the box 1. The clamping chuck 7 is fixedly connected with the carrying mechanical arm 4. The bottom column 62 is rotationally connected with the rotating hole 12. The heating module 3, the carrying mechanical arm 4, the coating mechanism 5 and the driving motor 63 are connected with the general control module 2 through electrical signals.

[0034] This invention relates to an automated device for semiconductor spin coating and development. A robotic arm 4 transports semiconductor wafers via a chuck 7 to a rotating mechanism 6. The rotating mechanism 6 vacuum-adsorbs the wafers, and a drive motor 63 outputs high-speed fixed-axis torque to drive the adsorbed wafers to rotate at high speed. A three-axis displacement module 51 moves the coating and development mechanism 5 above the high-speed rotating wafer, dispensing photoresist onto it. Centrifugal force evenly spreads the photoresist across the entire wafer surface, removing excess material to form a very uniform thin film. Then, heating is applied... Before the development process, the spray nozzle plate 56 is self-inspected by the detection mechanism 543 to ensure the flowability of its channels. The transport robot arm 4 moves the coated wafer to the external exposure station and then transports the wafer to the rotation mechanism 6. The coating and development mechanism 5 covers the entire wafer with the developer in milliseconds to avoid linewidth deviation caused by the difference in development rate between the edge and the center. After the spraying is completed and stopped, the wafer is rotated at high speed to dry the residual solution. The heating module 3 heats it again and the cleaning mechanism 54 performs self-cleaning of the spray nozzle plate 56.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the coating mechanism 5 also includes a dispensing nozzle 52 and a spraying mechanism 53. The spraying mechanism 53 includes a housing 55 and a flow guiding mechanism 58. The housing 55 is provided with a top hole 551. The flow guiding mechanism 58 includes a nozzle rod 581. The dispensing nozzle 52 is fixedly connected to the triaxial displacement module 51. The nozzle rod 581 is fixedly connected to the triaxial displacement module 51 and the top hole 551.

[0036] The three-axis displacement module 51 drives the dispensing nozzle 52 to move above the high-speed rotating wafer, dispensing photoresist onto the high-speed rotating wafer. Centrifugal force spreads the photoresist evenly across the entire wafer surface and removes excess material, forming a very uniform thin film. The transport robot arm 4 transports the wafer that has completed the exposure process to the rotating mechanism 6, and the spraying mechanism 53 covers the entire wafer with developer within milliseconds.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, the spray mechanism 53 also includes a spray orifice plate 56, an infrared probe 57, and a reflux mechanism 59. The housing 55 is also provided with a side hole 552. The flow guiding mechanism 58 also includes a hinge frame 582 and a fan blade 584. The reflux mechanism 59 includes a ring pipe 591 and a liquid pipe 592. The spray orifice plate 56, the infrared probe 57, and the hinge frame 582 are all fixedly connected to the housing 55. The liquid pipe 592 is fixedly connected to the side hole 552. The ring pipe 591 is in contact with the fan blade 584.

[0038] When the spray developer is sprayed to the wafer, it is necessary to ensure that the developer covers the entire wafer within milliseconds to avoid the line width deviation caused by the difference between the edge and the center of the wafer. The spray head rod 581 sprays the atomized developer upward, which rebounds downward after impacting the fan plate 584, and uniformly covers the entire wafer surface through the spray hole disc 56. In order to avoid line width deviation, the infrared probe 57 feeds back an electrical signal to the total control module 2 when the atomized developer is sprayed upward. The flow guide mechanism 58 actively adjusts the inclination angle of the partition fan plate 584 according to the feedback electrical signal, ensuring that the outer diameter and the center of the wafer are covered by the atomized developer at the same time. The nanoscale channels of the spray hole disc 56 avoid the direct impact of large droplets on the wafer, which can damage the pattern and cause developing spots and comet tail defects.

[0039] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 The flow guide mechanism 58 also includes a servo motor 583 and a universal connecting rod 585. The servo motor 583, the fan plate 584, and the universal connecting rod 585 are provided in several groups, which are evenly distributed along the annular array of the shell 55. The fan plate 584 is provided with a hinged buckle 5841 and an inner arc groove 5842. The inner arc groove 5842 is located on the side of the fan plate 584 away from the top hole 551. The inner arc groove 5842 is arranged in a tree-like manner along the surface of the fan plate 584. The hinged buckle 5841 is connected with the hinged frame 582. The servo motor 583 is fixedly connected with the hinged frame 582. The hinged buckle 5841 is fixedly connected with the universal connecting rod 585 and the output end of the servo motor 583. The three-axis displacement module 51, the glue dripping nozzle 52, the servo motor 583, and the infrared probe 57 are connected with the total control module 2 through electrical signals.

[0040] The several groups of fan plates 584 are evenly distributed along the annular array of the shell 55, that is, the adjacent several groups of fan plates 584 in the same ring zone form a virtual circular ring as a reflection partition. The atomized developer sprayed upward by the spray head rod 581 is radiated from the spray head rod 581 as a starting point. According to fluid mechanics, the time of the atomized developer sprayed from the spray head rod 581 to the fan plate 584 is different, that is, there is a millisecond error in the conventional flow guide cover, which leads to defects in the development of photoresist. The total control module 2 calculates the angle adjustment of the fan plate 584 according to fluid mechanics and feeds back a control signal to the servo motor 583. The servo motor 583 drives the fan plate 584 to rotate around the hinged frame 582 to adjust the angle according to the control signal output torque. The adjacent fan plates 584 in the same ring zone are synchronously adjusted through the transmission torque of the universal connecting rod 585. The fan plates 584 in different displacement zones are adjusted to different inclination angles, so that the atomized developer impacting different ring zones falls to the spray hole disc 56 at the same time, ensuring that the developer covers the entire wafer within milliseconds.

[0041] AsFigure 7 As shown, the backflow mechanism 59 further comprises a liquid pumping pump 593, and the liquid pipe 592 is fixedly connected with the ring pipe 591 and the liquid pumping pump 593. The ring pipe 591 is provided with a side ring groove 5911, which is arranged on the ring pipe 591 and close to the side of the fan plate 584.

[0042] The nozzle rod 581 sprays the atomized developing liquid upward, which rebounds downward after impacting the fan plate 584. The excess developing liquid is gathered into the inner arc groove 5842 arranged in a tree shape along the surface of the fan plate 584. Due to the surface tension of the liquid and the round corner design of the edge of the inner arc groove 5842, the excess developing liquid flows into the ring pipe 591 along the inner arc groove 5842 and the side ring groove 5911 under the action of the liquid pumping pump 593 and is pumped away for recycling, so as to avoid the developing liquid remaining on the fan plate 584 to gather into large droplets and directly falling to impact the wafer and damage the pattern, and to avoid the generation of developing spots.

[0043] As shown in Figure 3 The cleaning mechanism 54 further comprises an ultrasonic cleaning cylinder 542 and a detection mechanism 543. The detection mechanism 543 comprises a bottom table 544, and the ultrasonic cleaning cylinder 542 and the bottom table 544 are fixedly connected with the base 541.

[0044] Before the developing process, the detection mechanism 543 is used to self-check the spray hole disc 56 to ensure the flow through property of the hole channel. After the developing process, the three-axis displacement module 51 drives the spray hole disc 56 to displace into the ultrasonic cleaning cylinder 542 to complete the self-cleaning of the spray hole disc 56.

[0045] As shown in Figure 8 The detection mechanism 543 further comprises a circular table 545 and a micro humidity sensor 546. The circular table 545 is fixedly connected with the bottom table 544 and the micro humidity sensor 546. The bottom table 544 is provided with a ring liquid groove 5441, which is arranged on the side away from the center of the bottom table 544. The micro humidity sensor 546 is provided with a plurality of groups, and the plurality of groups of micro humidity sensors 546 are arrayed and distributed along the upper surface of the circular table 545.

[0046] Before the developing process, the three-axis displacement module 51 drives the spray hole disc 56 to displace above the circular table 545, and the spray hole disc 56 is sprayed. The flow through property of the flow channel on the spray hole disc 56 is determined by the humidity change on the plurality of groups of micro humidity sensors 546 arrayed and distributed along the upper surface of the circular table 545, and the liquid sprayed is recycled through the ring liquid groove 5441.

[0047] As shown in Figure 9As shown, the rotating mechanism 6 further comprises an adsorption disc 61 and a gear rod 64, the adsorption disc 61 is provided with an adsorption hole 611, the adsorption hole 611 is arranged at the center of the adsorption disc 61, the bottom column 62 is provided with a ring gear groove 621, the gear rod 64 is fixedly connected with the output end of the driving motor 63, and the gear rod 64 is in meshing connection with the ring gear groove 621.

[0048] The driving motor 63 outputs a fixed shaft torque to the gear rod 64, the high-speed torque of the driving motor 63 is transmitted to the bottom column 62 through the meshing connection between the gear rod 64 and the ring gear groove 621, and the wafer is vacuum adsorbed through the connection of the adsorption hole 611 and an external air pump, and the adsorption disc 61 drives the wafer to rotate at a high speed.
