[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , this embodiment provides a technical solution: a plasma etching and cleaning tank, including a tank body 1, a rotating frame 14 is arranged inside the tank body 1, a pressing plate 16 is arranged above the rotating frame 14, and wafer clamping grooves 15 are arranged on both the rotating frame 14 and the pressing plate 16. A driving motor 6 is arranged at one end of the rotating frame 14. A limiting sliding groove 8 is arranged on the inner side surface of the tank body 1, a sliding rod 9 is arranged in the limiting sliding groove 8, screw rods 13 are arranged through both ends of the sliding rod 9, a servo motor 12 is arranged at one end of the screw rod 13, a cleaning spray head 11 is arranged on the lower side surface of the sliding rod 9, an electromagnet 4 is arranged on the upper part of the outer side surface of the tank body 1, a tank cover 2 is arranged above the tank body 1, a steel plate 7 is arranged at the side of the tank cover 2 corresponding to the position of the electromagnet 4, and a sealing gasket 5 is arranged on the upper side surface of the tank body 1.

[0020] As Figures 1-3 shown, the steel plate 7 can be adsorbed on the electromagnet 4 to make the tank cover 2 tightly cover the tank body 1. The sealing gasket 5 can improve the sealing performance between the tank cover 2 and the tank body 1 to ensure the quality of wafer cleaning. When the sliding rod 9 moves, the cleaning spray head 11 can effectively rinse the wafers on the rotating frame 14 to improve the cleaning efficiency. The driving motor 6 drives the rotating frame 14 to rotate, so that the wafers are effectively cleaned during rotation, and at the same time, the wafers can be rotated for dehydration and air drying after the cleaning is completed, improving the cleaning efficiency of the wafers.

[0021] An observation window 3 is arranged at the center of the tank cover 2, and a delivery pipe 10 is arranged above the sliding rod 9.

[0022] As Figures 1-3 shown, the cleaning process of the wafers inside the tank body 1 can be observed through the observation window 3.

[0023] The tank cover 2 and the tank body 1 are connected by the electromagnet 4 and the steel plate 7, and the output end of the driving motor 6 and the rotating frame 14 are connected by bolts.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, the driving motor 6 can provide power for the rotation of the rotating frame 14 to make the rotating frame 14 rotate quickly, improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning spray head 11 for the wafers.

[0025] The sliding rod 9 and the tank body 1 are connected by the screw rod 13, the cleaning spray head 11 and the sliding rod 9 are connected by threads, and the delivery pipe 10 and the sliding rod 9 are connected by pipe clamps.

[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the sliding rod 9 moves along the limiting sliding groove 8, so that the cleaning nozzle 11 on the lower side of the sliding rod 9 can effectively clean the wafer.

[0027] The electromagnet 4 is connected to the tank body 1 by bolts, the steel plate 7 is welded to the tank cover 2, and the tank cover 2 is glued to the observation window 3.

[0028] The pressing plate 16 is connected to the rotating frame 14 through bolts, and both ends of the rotating frame 14 are connected to the tank body 1 through bearings.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the pressing plate 16 is fixed to the rotating frame 14 by bolts, so that the wafer can be effectively clamped and fixed on the rotating frame 14, thereby enabling the wafer to be effectively cleaned when the rotating frame 14 rotates.

[0030] The housing of the servo motor 12 is connected to the tank body 1 by bolts.

[0031] The working principle of a plasma etching cleaning tank provided by the utility model is as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, during cleaning, the clamping plate 16 is first removed from the rotating frame 14, and then the wafer is clamped into the wafer clamping slot 15, and finally the clamping plate 16 is fixed on the rotating frame 14, and then the slot cover 2 is covered on the slot body 1. The steel plate 7 can be effectively adsorbed and fixed by the electromagnet 4, so that the slot cover 2 and the slot body 1 are firmly connected. The sealing gasket 5 can improve the tightness between the slot cover 2 and the slot body 1 to ensure the cleaning quality. The driving motor 6 drives the rotating frame 14 to rotate rapidly, and the servo motor 12 drives the screw rod 13 to rotate, so that the sliding rod 9 moves along the limiting slide groove 8, and then the cleaning nozzle 11 on the lower side of the sliding rod 9 rinses the wafer. After the rinsing is completed, the wafer that continues to rotate on the rotating frame 14 can be subjected to rotary dehydration treatment, thereby accelerating the drying efficiency of the wafer.
