Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of silicon wafer processing, in particular to a silicon wafer edge washing device and silicon wafer processing equipment. Background Art
[0002] In the production process of silicon wafers, during photolithography, photoresist material needs to be coated on the silicon wafer first. After spin-coating the photoresist material, if no other treatment is performed, the excess photoresist will be pushed to the edge of the silicon wafer by centrifugal force, and most of it will be thrown off the silicon wafer, and a part will remain on the edge of the silicon wafer. Since the relative speed of the airflow at the edge of the silicon wafer is very high, the remaining photoresist will solidify quickly to form a raised edge. Under the action of surface tension, a small amount of photoresist will even flow along the edge to the back of the silicon wafer, causing contamination on the back of the silicon wafer. The photoresist adhering to the edge and back of the silicon wafer will contaminate the robot, hot plate and other equipment used in subsequent processes.
[0003] To this end, the China Patent Network discloses a silicon wafer edge cleaning device and silicon wafer processing equipment with application number 202123382690.6. The second nozzle is used to spray the second solvent to remove the silicon-containing anti-reflection layer on the edge of the silicon wafer, and the back flushing device is used to prevent the back side of the silicon wafer from being contaminated by the edge cleaning operation, thereby achieving complete cleaning of the silicon wafer; the silicon wafer coated with a silicon-containing anti-reflection layer can be cleaned, and multiple nozzles can spray a variety of different solvents to remove different photolithography materials on the edge of the silicon wafer, thereby improving the applicability of the silicon wafer edge cleaning device and expanding the application. Scope; the silicon-containing anti-reflection layer on the silicon wafer can be completely removed, and the stacking of the silicon-containing anti-reflection layer can be prevented to avoid the formation of bulges, which solves the problem that the organic solvent used in the prior art is difficult to dissolve the silicon-containing anti-reflection layer and affects the product yield. At the same time, since the generation of bulges and silicon-containing anti-reflection layer debris is avoided, the pollution and influence of the silicon-containing anti-reflection layer debris on the product and equipment are avoided, thereby saving the subsequent cleaning steps of the equipment and the product, improving the subsequent processing efficiency of the silicon wafer, ensuring the processing quality of the equipment and the production quality of the silicon wafer, and improving the product yield of the silicon wafer production.
[0004] Although the above application meets the user's needs to a certain extent, there are still certain defects in the use process.
