This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.
[0056] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this utility model. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this utility model and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0057] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0058] Example 1
[0059] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in, Figure 2 Displayed as Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the middle AA. This embodiment provides a wafer cleaning apparatus, which includes:
[0060] Cavity 110;
[0061] A support platform 120 is disposed within the cavity 110 for holding the wafer to be cleaned;
[0062] Liquid supply component 130 is disposed in the cavity 110 and located above the support stage 120, for providing cleaning fluid to the wafer to be cleaned;
[0063] A heating element 140 is disposed on the outside of the liquid supply element 130 to provide a heat source to the liquid supply element 130;
[0064] Temperature detection element 150 is disposed in the cavity 110 to detect the temperature of the liquid supply element 130;
[0065] The controller 170 communicates with the heating element 140 and the temperature detection element 150.
[0066] Specifically, in semiconductor manufacturing processes, to remove various contaminants from wafer surfaces, most processes involve an RCA cleaning step, which uses a mixed solution containing ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, and deionized water to clean the wafer, and an HF cleaning step, which uses a diluted hydrofluoric acid solution to clean the wafer, primarily to remove oxide layers and some silicon surface contaminants. However, during this wet cleaning process, the volatilization reaction of ammonia and hydrogen fluoride forms ammonium fluoride, which easily crystallizes on the surface of production equipment, such as liquid supply components. Ammonium fluoride crystals are corrosive to metals, and long-term accumulation of these crystals can easily detach and contaminate the wafer. The industry typically uses deionized water cleaning to remove ammonium fluoride crystals to avoid contamination of equipment and products.
[0067] In the wafer cleaning process, the wafers mainly undergo cleaning, rinsing, and drying. However, using deionized water for cleaning can affect the efficiency of wafer cleaning, and manual cleaning can introduce metal ions and other contaminants into the equipment.
[0068] The inventors discovered that temperature plays a crucial role in the formation of ammonium fluoride crystals. When the surface temperature of the liquid supply component 130 reaches 45°C or higher, such as 45°C, 50°C, or 65°C, ammonium fluoride crystals will not form on the surface of the liquid supply component 130. Therefore, it is not necessary to clean the surface of the liquid supply component 130 with deionized water. This avoids manual cleaning due to ammonium fluoride crystallization, thereby improving wafer cleaning efficiency, reducing the possibility of external contamination caused by manual intervention, lowering the probability of equipment contamination, and improving product quality.
[0069] The wafer cleaning apparatus in this embodiment can effectively heat the liquid supply component 130 by setting the heating element 140, thereby effectively preventing the formation of ammonium fluoride crystals; and the setting of the temperature detection element 150 and the controller 170 can also realize automated and convenient temperature control.
[0070] As an example, the liquid supply component 130 may include a metal liquid supply component or an organic liquid supply component, which can be selected according to the needs. For example, the liquid supply component 130 may be a stainless steel liquid supply component that is corrosion resistant and has relatively stable performance. Of course, the liquid supply component 130 may also be an organic liquid supply component that is corrosion resistant and has relatively stable performance, such as a PC liquid supply component, a PP liquid supply component, a PEEK liquid supply component, and a PFA liquid supply component, etc.
[0071] As an example, the outer wall of the heating element 140 may also be covered with a passivation layer (not shown), which may include a single layer or a stack of layers composed of PC material layer, PP material layer, PEEK material layer and PFA material layer.
[0072] Specifically, when the outer wall of the heating element 140 has a corrosion-resistant and relatively stable passivation layer, the passivation layer can protect the heating element 140 and the liquid supply element 130, preventing ammonium fluoride crystallization and reaction, thereby reducing the probability of metal contamination, further improving product quality, and extending equipment life, especially when the liquid supply element 130 is a metal liquid supply element. Regarding the selection of the passivation layer, it can include single layers or stacks of materials such as corrosion-resistant and relatively stable PC, PP, PEEK, and PFA, as needed.
[0073] As an example, the heating element 140 may include one or a combination of heating coils, heating wires, and heating films, which may be selected as needed.
[0074] As an example, the liquid supply component 130 may include a liquid supply pipe and a liquid supply nozzle communicating with the liquid supply pipe, and the heating component 140 covers the liquid supply pipe and the liquid supply nozzle.
[0075] Specifically, the shape, quantity, distribution, and material of the liquid supply component 130 can be selected as needed.
[0076] Furthermore, it is preferable that the heating element 140 completely covers the liquid supply pipe and the liquid supply nozzle to provide a uniform heat source for the liquid supply element 130. However, it is not limited to this. If necessary, the heating element 140 may also partially cover the liquid supply element 130. For example, the heating element 140 may be composed of a combination of multiple heating components arranged at equal intervals.
[0077] As an example, the wafer cleaning apparatus may include N > 1 temperature sensors 150, and the N temperature sensors 150 are preferably arranged at equal intervals.
[0078] Specifically, the temperature sensing element 150 is configured to facilitate the acquisition of the temperature of the liquid supply element 130, so as to allow for timely adjustment of the temperature of the outer wall of the liquid supply element 130, wherein, for example... Figure 1 The temperature detection element 150 can be disposed on the outside of the heating element 140. In order to obtain a more accurate temperature detection result, the probe of the temperature detection element 150 can be in contact with the outer wall of the liquid supply element 130. Of course, the temperature detection element 150 can also be disposed on the inner wall of the cavity 110 as needed, such as an infrared thermometer. The specific type of the temperature detection element 150 is not excessively limited here.
[0079] like Figure 1 To obtain more accurate temperature detection results, in this embodiment, the wafer cleaning device includes 8 temperature detection elements 150, that is, the value of N is 8, and preferably the N temperature detection elements 150 are arranged at equal intervals. However, the value and distribution of N are not limited to this. If needed, N can also be 1, 4, 6, etc.
[0080] Furthermore, the wafer cleaning apparatus may also include a cooling element 160, which is disposed within the cavity 110 to provide a cold source.
[0081] Specifically, when the cooling element 160 is provided, the liquid supply element 130 can be cooled in a timely and effective manner through the cooling element 160, thereby conveniently controlling the temperature of the liquid supply element 130, reducing the time required for cooling, and making timely adjustments to the process steps to avoid affecting the cleaning fluid in the liquid supply element 130.
[0082] Furthermore, the cooling component 160 may include one or a combination of air-cooled cooling components and liquid-cooled cooling components.
[0083] Specifically, the gas cooling component 160 may include a nitrogen cooling component or an inert gas cooling component, so as to perform gas cooling by using nitrogen, helium, argon, etc., to avoid the influence of cooling gas on the process. When using a gas cooling component, the operation can be achieved using existing wafer cleaning equipment without the need to introduce additional equipment components, thereby reducing the cost of equipment modification and improving the convenience of operation while achieving cooling.
[0084] Of course, the cooling component 160 can also be a liquid cooling component as needed, such as a water-cooled pipe disposed around the liquid supply component 130 or a water-cooled pipe disposed on the inner wall of the cavity 110.
[0085] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 Three nitrogen cooling elements are provided on the inner wall of the cavity 110 to rapidly cool the liquid supply element 130. The specific type, quantity and distribution of the cooling elements 160 can be selected as needed.
[0086] As an example, the communication method between the controller 170 and the heating element 140, the cooling element 160 and the temperature detection element 150 may include one or a combination of wired communication and wireless communication.
[0087] Specifically, the controller 170 enables automated detection and control of the heating element 140, the cooling element 160, and the temperature detection element 150, thereby improving timeliness and increasing product capacity and quality. The communication method between the controller 170 and the heating element 140, the cooling element 160, and the temperature detection element 150 can include one or a combination of wired and wireless communication, which can be selected as needed.
[0088] like Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the module distribution of the wafer cleaning apparatus of this invention. The controller 170 can easily start or stop the heating element 140, while the temperature sensor 150 can promptly acquire the temperature of the liquid supply element 130 and feed the information back to the controller 170. The controller 170 then determines whether cooling is needed and activates the cooling element 160 to cool the liquid supply element 130 until the temperature reported by the temperature sensor 150 meets the requirements. Therefore, the entire temperature regulation, whether heating or cooling, can be automatically controlled, thus avoiding the influence of human operation on aspects such as contaminants and inaccuracy.
[0089] Example 2
[0090] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,in, Figure 4 Displayed as Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the BB edge. This embodiment provides another wafer cleaning apparatus, which includes:
[0091] Cavity 210;
[0092] A support platform 220 is disposed within the cavity 210 for supporting the wafer to be cleaned;
[0093] Liquid supply component 230 is disposed in the cavity 210 and located above the support stage 220, for providing cleaning solution to the wafer to be cleaned;
[0094] Liquid supply housing 280 is disposed inside the cavity 210 and located around the liquid supply component 230, and there is an accommodating space between the outer wall of the liquid supply component 230 and the inner wall of the liquid supply housing 280.
[0095] A heat insulation component 290 is disposed within the accommodating space and covers the liquid supply component 230;
[0096] A heating element 240 is disposed within the accommodating space and located between the heat insulation element 290 and the liquid supply element housing 280, for providing a heat source to the liquid supply element housing 280;
[0097] Temperature detection element 250 is disposed in the cavity 210 to detect the temperature of the liquid supply component housing 280;
[0098] The controller 270 communicates with the heating element 240 and the temperature detection element 250.
[0099] The wafer cleaning apparatus of this embodiment, through the setting of the heating element 240, can effectively heat the liquid supply element 230, effectively preventing the formation of ammonium fluoride crystals; the setting of the temperature detection element 250 and the controller 270 can realize automated and convenient temperature control; the setting of the liquid supply element housing 280 can effectively protect the liquid supply element 230 and avoid the reaction between the liquid supply element 230 and ammonium fluoride crystals; the setting of the heat insulation element 290 can prevent heat from affecting the cleaning liquid in the liquid supply element 230. For example, during the temperature control process, due to the setting of the heat insulation element 290, the temperature can be controlled simultaneously during the wafer cleaning process, so as to effectively prevent the formation of ammonium fluoride crystals.
[0100] Furthermore, the wafer cleaning apparatus may also include a cooling element 260, which is disposed within the cavity 110 to provide a cold source.
[0101] Specifically, when the cooling component 260 is provided, the liquid supply component housing 280 can be cooled in a timely and effective manner through the cooling component 260, thereby conveniently controlling the temperature of the liquid supply component housing 280, reducing the time required for cooling, and making timely adjustments to the process steps.
[0102] The main difference between this embodiment and the wafer cleaning device in Embodiment 1 is the arrangement of the liquid supply housing 280 and the heat insulation component 290. For the specific structure and effect of the wafer cleaning device, please refer to Embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here. The following only introduces the differences.
[0103] As an example, the liquid supply housing 280 may include a metal housing, which may include a stainless steel housing.
[0104] Specifically, when the liquid supply component housing 280 is made of stainless steel, it facilitates heat conduction, resulting in more uniform heating and faster cooling of the liquid supply component 230. Furthermore, the stainless steel housing has excellent corrosion resistance, reducing the probability of metal contaminant generation. The specific type of metal housing is not excessively limited here. Of course, depending on the needs, the liquid supply component housing 280 can also be made of organic materials with good corrosion resistance, such as PC, PP, PEEK, and PFA housings.
[0105] As an example, when the liquid supply housing 280 adopts the metal housing, the periphery of the metal housing may also be covered with a passivation layer (not shown). The passivation layer may include a single layer or a stack of layers composed of PC material layer, PP material layer, PEEK material layer and PFA material layer.
[0106] Specifically, when the outer periphery of the metal casing has a corrosion-resistant and relatively stable passivation layer, the heating element 240 and the liquid supply element 230 can be protected by the corrosion-resistant and relatively stable passivation layer, preventing ammonium fluoride crystallization and reaction with it, thereby reducing the probability of metal contamination, further improving product quality, and extending the life of the equipment. Regarding the selection of the passivation layer, it can include single layers or stacks of materials such as corrosion-resistant and relatively stable PC, PP, PEEK, and PFA, as needed.
