[0023] In this embodiment, the wafer cleaning mechanism 6 includes a connecting bracket 601 fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 101, and a spray box 602 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting bracket 601. The spray box 602 is provided with a partition to divide it into four chambers, and a liquid inlet 603 is provided above each of the chambers, wherein a plurality of atomizing nozzles 604 are provided below three of the chambers, and the liquid inlets 603 above the three chambers are respectively introduced into the acidic cleaning liquid, alkaline cleaning liquid and chelating agent through pipes, and a plurality of spray nozzles 605 are provided below the last chamber, and a pulse generating component 606 is provided on the liquid inlet 603 above the spray nozzle 605, and pure water is introduced into the pulse generating component 606 through a pipe. The connecting bracket 601 is also provided with a driving component 607, and the driving component 607 is connected to the pulse generating component 606. It should be noted that: the acidic cleaning solution is used to dissolve metal oxides, usually dilute sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, the alkaline cleaning solution is used to remove residual organic additives, usually ammonia water, and the chelating agent is used to complex metal ions, usually EDTA. The acidic cleaning solution, alkaline cleaning solution and chelating agent are sprayed outward using an atomizing nozzle 604, which can effectively reduce the use of these solvents while ensuring the coverage effect, and can save the cost of use. Pure water is sprayed outward using a spray nozzle 605, which can ensure the flushing of materials on the wafer surface through a larger flow rate to ensure the cleaning effect.
[0024] In the embodiment, the pulse generating assembly 606 comprises a communicating pipe 6061 fixedly connected to the liquid inlet 603, an oscillating shaft 6062 rotatably connected to the communicating pipe 6061, two sealing plates 6063 fixedly connected to the oscillating shaft 6062 in a symmetrical manner, a swing rod 6064 fixedly connected to the oscillating shaft 6062, a movable guide rod 6065 slidably connected to the swing rod 6064, a guide transverse groove 6066 fixedly connected to the communicating pipe 6061, one end of the movable guide rod 6065 slidably connected in the guide transverse groove 6066, a connecting plate 6067 fixedly connected to the spraying box 602, a sliding support 6068 slidably connected to the connecting plate 6067, a flat plate 6069 fixedly connected to the sliding support 6068, a guide groove two 60610 formed in the flat plate 6069, the other end of the movable guide rod 6065 slidably connected in the guide groove two 60610, a spring one 60611 connected between the flat plate 6069 and the connecting plate 6067, a cylinder 60612 rotatably connected to the connecting plate 6067, a guide groove three 60613 formed in the cylinder 60612, a fixed guide rod 60614 fixedly connected to the sliding support 6068 and slidably connected in the guide groove three 60613, a connecting head one 60615 slidably connected to the upper end of the cylinder 60612, a baffle 60616 fixedly connected to the upper end of the cylinder 60612, and a spring two 60617 connected between the connecting head one 60615 and the baffle 60616. It should be noted that when the flat plate 6069 moves up and down, the oscillating shaft 6062 will be driven to reciprocate, and the oscillating shaft 6062 will remain stationary for a period of time between reciprocation, which makes the sealing plate 6063 intermittently close and open the communicating pipe 6061, so that the continuously input pure water can be sprayed in the form of pulse spray, which can effectively reduce the water consumption and will not reduce the flushing effect too much. When the connecting head one 60615 and the connecting head two 60712 are disconnected, the guide groove three 60613 cannot lock the position of the sliding support 6068, which makes the flat plate 6069 move to the uppermost end under the pushing of the spring two 60617, so as to ensure that the sealing plate 6063 will not close the communicating pipe 6061 and will not affect the flow of pure water at other times.

It should be noted that when the pulse is not used, the guide slot four 60711 will drive the connecting head one 60615 and the connecting head two 60712 to separate, thereby reducing the abrasion of the sealing plate 6063 during back and forth rotation and prolonging the service life.
[0026] The wafer uniform electroplating equipment works as follows during work: The linear motor 106 is started, and the linear motor 106 mover moves to the electroplating tank 5 direction, the linear motor 106 mover will push the connecting shaft 105 and the connecting frame 104 to move along the L-shaped sliding groove 103 through the connecting block 107 and the connecting rod one 108; When the connecting frame 104 moves horizontally, the mounting plate 2 on the connecting frame 104 will also translate, and the mounting plate 2 will drive the driven guide rod 404 to move along the guide slot one 402 through the connecting rod two 403, when the driven guide rod 404 moves to the lowest point of the concave position of the guide slot one 402, the connecting rod two 403 is just vertical, and then the movement of the mounting plate 2 will become pulling the driven guide rod 404 to move along the guide slot one 402, the movement of the driven guide rod 404 from the front of the mounting plate 2 to the rear of the mounting plate 2 will drive the mounting plate 2 to turn over 180 degrees through the connecting rod two 403, so that the wafer is turned over from upward to downward; After the wafer is turned upside down, the linear motor 106 mover drives the connecting frame 104 and the mounting plate 2 to continue to translate, and when the connecting shaft 105 moves to the inflection point of the L-shaped sliding groove 103, the movement of the linear motor 106 mover will push the connecting shaft 105 and the connecting frame 104 to move downward through the connecting block 107 and the connecting rod I 108, and when the connecting rod I 108 becomes vertical, the linear motor 106 is turned off, at which time the surface of the wafer to be electroplated is immersed in the electroplating solution in the electroplating tank 5; Then the driving motor I 302 is started and rotates forward, which drives the rotating support 303 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, and the rotating support 303 drives the clamping jaw 304 and the wafer to rotate, and the extension strip plate 305 and the elastic telescopic guide rod 306 connected to the clamping jaw 304 are also driven to rotate, at this time the elastic telescopic guide rod 306 rotates in a direction that enables it to pass through the one-way guide block I 308, thereby enabling the elastic telescopic guide rod 306 to rotate along the inner ring groove 3071, and enabling the clamping jaw 304 to always maintain a clamping state, and enabling the wafer to be electrified for a period of time during the rotation of the wafer, thereby completing the electroplating of the wafer, and after the electroplating is completed, the driving motor I 302 is turned off. Then the linear motor 106 mover is reversely translated to reset, the wafer is turned upside down and finally moved to the lower side of the spraying box 602, the driving motor II 6071 is started, which drives the rotating shaft I 6072 connected thereto to rotate, the rotating shaft I 6072 drives the rotating shaft II 6073 to rotate through the meshing inner ring gear 6076 and spur gear 6075, and due to the transmission ratio between the inner ring gear 6076 and the spur gear 6075, the rotating shaft I 6072 rotates a certain number of turns to make the rotating shaft II 6073 rotate one turn, and the rotating shaft II 6073 rotates one turn each time to drive the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft III 6074 to rotate one-eighth of a turn through the eccentric lever 6077, and at the same time the driving motor I 302 is started and rotates forward to drive the wafer to rotate. When the driving motor II 6071 is just started, no liquid is introduced into the spraying box 602, and when the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft III 6074 rotate for the first time, pure water is introduced into the communication pipe 6061 through the pipeline, and then introduced into the spraying box 602 through the communication pipe 6061, and the pure water is sprayed downward through the plurality of spray nozzles 605 on the spraying box 602, and the water flow sprayed onto the surface of the wafer can wash away the residual electroplating solution on the surface of the wafer, and before the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft III 6074 are about to rotate again, the introduction of pure water into the spraying box 602 is stopped. When the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft three 6074 are rotated for the second time, the acid cleaning solution is introduced into the spray box 602 through the pipeline, and the acid cleaning solution is sprayed downward by the atomizing nozzles 604 on the spray box 602 to uniformly disperse on the surface of the rotating wafer, and reacts with the metal oxides on the wafer surface to dissolve them. Before the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft three 6074 are rotated for the next time, the introduction of the pure water acid cleaning solution into the spray box 602 is stopped. When the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft three 6074 are rotated for the third time, the pure water is introduced into the spray box 602 again, and the water flow sprayed by the spray box 602 at this time is used to flush away the acid cleaning solution on the wafer surface. Before the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft three 6074 are rotated for the next time, the introduction of the pure water into the spray box 602 is stopped. When the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft three 6074 are rotated for the fourth time, the alkaline cleaning solution is introduced into the spray box 602 through the pipeline, and the alkaline cleaning solution is sprayed downward by the atomizing nozzles 604 on the spray box 602 to uniformly disperse on the surface of the rotating wafer, and reacts with the organic additives on the wafer surface to remove them. Before the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft three 6074 are rotated for the next time, the introduction of the alkaline cleaning solution into the spray box 602 is stopped. When the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft three 6074 are rotated for the fifth time, the pure water is introduced into the spray box 602 again, and the water flow sprayed by the spray box 602 at this time is used to flush away the alkaline cleaning solution on the wafer surface. Before the driven disc 6078 and the rotating shaft three 6074 are rotated for the next time, the introduction of the pure water into the spray box 602 is stopped.
