[0002] Semiconductor devices made of gallium arsenide have the advantages of good high-frequency, high-temperature, low-temperature performance, low noise, and strong radiation resistance. Gallium arsenide is a material with multiple advantages among semiconductor materials. During the production process of gallium arsenide wafers, a large amount of impurities will adhere to the surface. After production, it is necessary to clean its surface.
[0003] Currently, when cleaning gallium arsenide wafers, the gallium arsenide wafers are usually directly placed in the inner cavity of the cleaning tank. Through the cooperation of the water pump in the second pipeline and the first pipeline, water is sprayed on the surface of the gallium arsenide wafers for cleaning. However, in the actual operation process, only a single surface can be cleaned. When it is necessary to clean the other surface, the user needs to manually flip it, which is time-consuming and laborious, increasing the labor intensity of the user. At the same time, it increases the cleaning time of the gallium arsenide wafers and reduces the cleaning work efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, we provide a surface cleaning device for gallium arsenide wafers. Content of the Utility Model

After the limiting is completed, the user starts the drive motor 5 to work, drives the support frame 1 to rotate in the clockwise direction through the drive motor 5, and drives the gallium arsenide wafer to rotate through the support frame 1. During the continuous flipping process, the user starts the water pump 21 to work. Through the cooperation of the water pump 21 with the second pipe 20 and the first pipe 19, water is sprayed on the surface of the gallium arsenide wafer, realizing automatic flipping, enabling the water and the gallium arsenide wafer to be in full contact, saving time and effort, reducing the cleaning duration, and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0034] Specifically: During the cleaning process, water falls to the bottom of the inner cavity of the cleaning box 4 and is conveyed to the inner cavity of the connection box 18 through the conveying pipe 13.

After the placement is completed, the user releases the limit plate 2, and uses the characteristics of the damping spring 3 to reset the structure, limit the gallium arsenide wafer, and avoid the gallium arsenide wafer from falling during the automatic flipping process. After the limiting is completed, the user starts the driving motor 5 to work, drives the support frame 1 to rotate clockwise through the driving motor 5, and drives the gallium arsenide wafer to rotate through the support frame 1. During the continuous flipping process, the user starts the water pump 21 to work, and sprays water on the surface of the gallium arsenide wafer through the cooperation of the water pump 21 with the second pipeline 20 and the first pipeline 19, realizing automatic flipping, enabling the water and the gallium arsenide wafer to be in full contact, saving time and effort, reducing the cleaning duration, and improving the cleaning efficiency.
