TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of semiconductor wafer processing waste liquid treatment, especially to the field of recycling of wafer cutting, grinding and polishing processing liquid in semiconductor process. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the manufacture of wafers, there are multiple process steps such as cutting, chamfering, and grinding. A large amount of processing liquid, including cutting fluid, chamfering liquid, and grinding liquid, is required for uninterrupted use during these processing steps. These processing liquids have good cooling and lubricating effects, reducing surface damage and mechanical stress of the semiconductor wafer, and reducing the problem of brittle cracking or scratches of the silicon wafer during cutting. This is conducive to the subsequent cleaning of the semiconductor wafer, effectively improves the thickness error of the semiconductor wafer, and improves the cutting yield. At the same time, these processing liquids have good corrosion and rust prevention properties for wafer manufacturing equipment, which can reduce equipment wear and maintenance frequency and increase production efficiency. Therefore, processing liquid plays a crucial role in wafer manufacturing.
[0003] During these cutting and grinding production processes, a large amount of fine silicon powder particles are generated. These silicon powders have a particle size distribution of 0.2-50 μm due to different processing methods. Since the flatness of the wafer before polishing is <500 nm, if the silicon powder in the processing liquid is not treated before reuse, it will cause a decrease in processing precision and even lead to the rejection of the wafer product. Therefore, the processing liquid needs to be filtered before reuse to remove impurities introduced during the manufacturing process and maintain a clean and stable level of the processing liquid.
[0004] Currently, the cutting fluid and grinding fluid in traditional mechanical manufacturing are generally reused by mechanical filtration after sedimentation. These methods can well match the precision requirements of mechanical equipment. Unlike traditional cutting fluid in mechanical manufacturing, the solid content level and solid particle size of wafer processing liquid have higher requirements. In traditional mechanical manufacturing, particles with a size of 8 μm or more can be reused at a content of less than 1000 mg / L. However, in wafer manufacturing, the cutting fluid, chamfering liquid, and grinding liquid need to have smaller particle sizes and lower contents to match the processing precision. Generally, the current wafer liquid reuse standard is that particles with a size of 1 μm or more should have a content of less than 30 mg / L.
[0005] In addition, in actual production, impurities in the used processing liquid include not only silicon powder brought by cutting and grinding, but also trace lubricants for cooling, which are mixed into the processing liquid of the wafer. The trace oil substances only increase the oil impurities in the entire processing liquid by dozens of micrograms under single mixing, and do not reduce the processing precision and quality of the product. However, if the processing liquid is recycled, the trace oil is not treated, and the oil is accumulated in the system, which quickly affects the efficiency of the cleaning link, and causes uneven cutting and grinding and defects of the wafer at a higher concentration. Therefore, the treatment of the trace oil needs to be considered in the treatment before reuse. The oil is low in content, and the general treatment methods such as air floatation, coalescence and absorption have low efficiency, and the oil is not easy to remove. Therefore, an effective treatment method needs to be used. The problem of bacterial growth in the used processing liquid also needs to be considered. Although the environment of wafer manufacturing is clean, the bacterial growth is slow, but the bacteria still rise to a certain extent after flowing through the complex pipeline of the manufacturing equipment for a long time. If the processing liquid is recycled, the bacteria in the liquid will gradually exceed the limit, and the organic components in the liquid are consumed, which causes the deterioration of the liquid. Therefore, the recycling treatment equipment also needs to consider the treatment of the bacteria to ensure the stability of the liquid.
[0006] At the same time, due to the flow load impact of the general circulating liquid supply system, the direct liquid supply method is easy to cause flow interruption, and therefore the indirect liquid supply method is generally used, and a buffer tank is arranged. However, the indirect liquid supply method first causes the storage liquid in the system to be significantly higher than the liquid amount required in actual production, which leads to the increase of the production cost, and the storage liquid in the buffer tank is retained in the tank in a large amount in the production trough and cannot be effectively maintained and treated, which is easy to deteriorate and cause the production interruption.
[0007] In summary, it is necessary to find a comprehensive treatment process and system to continuously recycle and maintain the wafer processing liquid, ensure that the particulate matter, oil and bacteria are below the limit and stable, and continuously supply the production section with direct liquid to ensure the stability of the liquid supply.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The utility model will be described further in combination with the drawings and the specific embodiments:

In this application, the particle size below 8 μm is defined as fine particles, and the particle size above 8 μm is defined as large particles. According to the proportion of large particles in the total particles, there are three cases: the proportion of large particles is below 20%, 20% to 50%, and above 50%. According to the proportion of large particles in different ranges, different treatment schemes are adopted.
[0038] Example 1:
[0039] For the proportion of large particles above 50%, the scheme of Example 1 is adopted.
[0040] As shown in Figure 2 The recycling system of the wafer manufacturing processing liquid includes the first-stage treatment tank 1 and the second-stage treatment tank 2. The first-stage treatment tank 1 is in communication with the second-stage treatment tank 2. The first-stage treatment tank 1 and the second-stage treatment tank 2 are connected to the candle filter 5 through the valve 101 and the valve 201, respectively. The candle filter 5 is connected to the liquid supply tank 3. The first-stage treatment tank 1 and the second-stage treatment tank 2 are each provided with a conical bottom, which is connected to the candle filter 5. A pump is arranged between the first-stage treatment tank 1, the second-stage treatment tank 2, and the candle filter 5.
[0041] A partition forming a deflection route is provided between the primary treatment tank 1 and the secondary treatment tank 2. The distance between the primary treatment tank side partition 100 and the bottom of the primary treatment tank 1 is greater than zero, the upper part of the secondary treatment tank side partition 200 is lower than the primary treatment tank side partition 100, and the slot of the primary treatment tank is also provided with a buffer bevel; the liquid entering the secondary treatment tank 2 is the upper layer liquid, and the lower layer turbid liquid with a higher content of particulate matter remains in the primary treatment tank 1; the liquid in the secondary treatment tank 2 has a lower solid content than that in the primary treatment tank 1, and the particle size of the particulate matter is smaller.
[0042] The secondary treatment tank 2 is also connected to a hydrodynamic cavitation system, which includes a high-pressure pump 60 and a hydrodynamic cavitation generator 6, which are connected in sequence. The liquid inlet of the high-pressure pump 60 is connected to the secondary treatment tank 2, and the liquid outlet of the hydrodynamic cavitation generator 6 is connected to the secondary treatment tank 2.

[0043] The liquid supply tank 3 is connected to the liquid supply and return module at the machine tool end through the constant pressure liquid supply module 14.
[0044] The working method of the wafer manufacturing process fluid recycling system of Example 1 is as follows:
[0045] The return fluid module at the machine tool introduces the post-wafer processing fluid into the primary treatment tank 1. Sedimentation occurs in the primary treatment tank 1, causing large particles to settle at the conical bottom. Smaller particles are diverted by partitions into the secondary treatment tank 2. The primary and secondary treatment tanks 1 and 2 are then alternately treated by candle filters 5. The resulting clean liquid is then introduced into the supply tank 3. The candle filters 5 consist of a filter tank and several filter elements within the tank. Filter bags are installed on the filter elements. Large particles form a filter cake on the surface of the filter bags. When the filter cake reaches a certain thickness, it traps fine silicon powder particles in the wastewater, and the candle filters begin to discharge clear liquid. The clean liquid produced by candle filtration has a low particle content and high cleanliness.
[0046] A hydrodynamic cavitation generator 6 is connected to the secondary treatment tank 2 to perform hydrodynamic cavitation treatment on the liquid within the secondary treatment tank, breaking up any emulsified miscellaneous oil in the processing fluid. Floating oil, accompanied by fine particles, rises to the surface and is collected by a floating oil collection and separation device 7 for further oil-liquid separation. The waste oil is collected in a waste oil drum (not shown) and then introduced back into the secondary treatment tank 2. After cavitation de-oiling, particulate matter is removed by a candle filter, resulting in a liquid with low oil and solids content entering the liquid supply tank 3.

[0052] As shown in Figure 3 , a partition plate forming a zigzag route is arranged between the first treatment tank 1 and the second treatment tank 2, the distance between the first treatment tank side partition plate 100 and the bottom of the first treatment tank 1 is greater than zero, and the upper portion of the second treatment tank partition plate 200 is lower than the first treatment tank side partition plate 100, so that the liquid entering the second treatment tank 2 is upper clear liquid, and the lower turbid liquid with a large particle content remains in the first treatment tank 1; the liquid in the second treatment tank 2 has a smaller solid content and smaller particle size than the first treatment tank 1.
[0053] As shown in Figure 3, the secondary treatment tank 2 is also connected to a hydrodynamic cavitation system, the hydrodynamic cavitation system comprising a high-pressure pump 60 and a hydrodynamic cavitation generator 6 connected in sequence, the liquid inlet of the high-pressure pump 60 being connected to the secondary treatment tank 2, and the liquid outlet of the hydrodynamic cavitation generator 6 being connected to the secondary treatment tank 2.

The clean liquid of the bag filter 8 is introduced into the liquid supply tank 3.
[0055] The secondary treatment tank 2 is subjected to a cycle centrifugal treatment by the first centrifuge 12, so that the particles in the secondary treatment tank are further separated, and then subjected to a precision filtration by the bag filter, and the clean liquid filtered by the bag filter is sent to the liquid supply tank 3. The liquid in the liquid supply tank 3 is relatively clean, but the proportion of large particles of the wafer processing liquid is in the range of 20% to 50%, the proportion of fine particles is large, and there are some ultra-fine silicon powder particles, which cannot guarantee to meet the reuse standard.
[0056] As shown in Figure 3 , the liquid supply tank 3 is connected to a membrane circulation liquid tank 4, and a valve and a pump are provided between the liquid supply tank 3 and the membrane circulation tank 4. The membrane circulation liquid tank 4 is connected to a membrane filtration system. The membrane filtration system is a ceramic membrane filtration system 9. The ceramic membrane filtration system 9 comprises a liquid inlet 90, a concentrated liquid outlet 91, and a clean liquid outlet 92. The liquid inlet 90 is connected to the membrane circulation liquid tank 4, and a pump and a valve are provided between the liquid inlet 90 and the membrane circulation liquid tank 4. The concentrated liquid outlet 91 is connected to the membrane circulation liquid tank 4, and the clean liquid outlet 92 is connected to the liquid supply tank 3.
[0057] The membrane circulation liquid tank 4 and the ceramic membrane filtration system 9 serve as a bypass of the liquid supply tank 3, and further filter the small amount of ultra-fine silicon powder particles in the liquid supply tank, without affecting the liquid supply to the machine tool end by the liquid supply tank 3. The ceramic membrane filtration system 9 is one of a tubular ceramic membrane and a flat plate ceramic membrane.

The solid-liquid separation device is a second centrifuge 13 or a plate-and-frame filter press 11, which further separates the concentrated liquid in the membrane circulating liquid tank.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first centrifuge 12 and the second centrifuge 13 are high-speed centrifuges.
[0061] The working mode of the wafer manufacturing process liquid recycling system of Example 2 is as follows:

In the primary treatment tank 1, large-particle-size particulates are precipitated at the conical bottom of the primary treatment tank 1, and the waste liquid with a large proportion of large-particle-size particulates is pumped to the candle filter 5 to form a filter cake on the surface of the filter bag. When the filter cake reaches a certain thickness, the small-particle-size silicon powder particulates in the waste liquid are intercepted, the candle filter starts to discharge the clear liquid, and the clear liquid is introduced into the liquid supply tank 3. The waste liquid with a large proportion of fine particulates in the secondary treatment tank 2 is introduced into the first centrifuge 12 for high-speed centrifugal treatment. The clean liquid in the upper layer of the secondary treatment tank 2 is precisely filtered by the bag filter 8. The bag filter is an up-flow filter bag or a down-flow filter bag. When the amount of particulates in the up-flow filter bag reaches a certain amount, the filter bag needs to be taken out from the filter tank and poured out. The particulates are adsorbed on the outside of the down-flow filter bag, and the automatic deslagging can be performed by back flushing. The clear liquid filtered by the bag filter 8 is also introduced into the liquid supply tank 3. The treatment liquid in the liquid supply tank 3 has a relatively low solid content and a small particle size.

The clean liquid is discharged into the liquid supply tank 3. The liquid in the membrane circulating liquid tank is gradually concentrated, the concentrated liquid is introduced into the solid-liquid separation device, and the solid-liquid separation device can be a second centrifuge or a plate-and-frame filter press.
