Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wafer processing, in particular to a wafer bracket suitable for a Marangoni dryer. Background Art

[0002] The Marangoni drying method is a method that utilizes a solvent with a lower surface tension than the bath fluid (such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA) vapor), which is introduced into the fluid meniscus formed as the substrate is lifted from the bath. The solvent vapor dissolves into the fluid meniscus, forming a surface tension gradient. The presence of the surface tension gradient causes the bath fluid to flow away from the low surface tension area at the tip of the drying meniscus and leave the substrate, leaving the substrate dry with almost no streaks, spots, and residual traces. Chinese patent CN201980079388.X discloses a typical processing method and equipment for Marangoni drying of wafers.

[0003] In this type of equipment, the wafer is vertically immersed in the rinse tank and lifted by a lifting device through the spray area of ​​the spray bar assembly to achieve the Marangoni drying process. The lifting method includes vertical lifting as described in the above patent, and also includes a method of using a swing mechanism to make the wafer pass through the spray area. Figure 1 A typical swing device is shown, which is installed on the side of the dryer and includes a swing arm A1 and a linear motor A2. The swing arm A1 is provided with a fixed shaft connected to the side plate of the dryer, and the linear motor A2 is connected to the upper end of the swing arm A1, thereby driving the swing arm A1 to swing around the shaft. A wafer holder A3 is provided at the lower end of the swing arm A1 for placing wafers. During the drying process, the linear motor A2 reciprocates, driving the swing arm A1 to swing around the shaft, thereby driving the wafer at the other end to swing through the spray area. During the Marangoni drying process, the residual liquid is accelerated to leave the wafer surface through the swing.

[0004] However, in actual implementation, the inventor discovered that when a swing mechanism is used to lift the wafer, since the bottom end point of the wafer is located at the far end of the swing arm, it is often located on the edge of the spray area during the swinging process, resulting in poor drying effect.
