PURPOSE:To make it possible to remove fully contamination of the surface of a wafer by a method wherein a wafer cleaning device is provided with a wafer rotating machine for rotating the wafer in a state that the wafer is held in a cleaning tank for cleaning the wafer and is provided with cleaning liquid feed pipes for feeding a cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank. CONSTITUTION:A wafer cleaning device 30 is constituted of a cleaning tank 40, in which a cleaning liquid is stored, and a wafer rotating machine 60 for rotating a wafer. The tank 40 is provided with cleaning liquid feed pipes 42 for feeding the cleaning liquid. Moreover, the tank 40 is constituted into such a structure that a plurality of cleaning liquid discharge pipes 44 and 46 are provided at both of the bottom and upper part of the tank 40, dusts having a small specific gravity are discharged through the pipes 46 provided at the upper part and dusts having a large specific gravity are discharged through the pipes 44 provided at the bottom. As the wafer is cleaned while being rotated in the cleaning liquid, the dusts, such as the silicon dusts, removed once from the wafer surface can be prevented from springing back and adhering on the wafer surface. Moreover, in the case where the cleaning liquid jets in the direction to oppose to the rotation of the wafer the cleaning effect of the wafer is more improved.

2. Description of the Related Art A large number of chips are arranged side by side vertically and horizontally in a wafer, and a gap called a scribe line is formed between adjacent chips. In dicing to separate the wafer into individual chips, the wafer is attached to a vinyl sheet with an adhesive, and it is cut along the scribe line with a blade that rotates at high speed while applying a cooling liquid of about 25 ° C Are separated from each other. Since the vinyl sheet is not cut, it is possible to obtain a large number of chips separated from each other while being stuck to the vinyl sheet. During dicing, dust such as silicon chips is generated and the wafer is contaminated. However, the cleaning liquid applied to the wafer during the cutting of the wafer cannot remove the contamination of the wafer. For this reason,
The diced wafer is washed immediately after dicing.

As a method for cleaning the wafer immediately after the dicing, the wafer which has been diced is sucked by a Bernoulli chuck and automatically transferred to a cleaning device, and the cleaning device rotates the wafer at a high speed and sprays cleaning water on the surface. A method of doing so is known (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-6344). In this conventional cleaning method, the wafer is transferred to the cleaning device by automatic transfer without holding the wafer with tweezers or the like, so that chipping or the like of the wafer can be prevented, and dirt such as silicon debris attached to the wafer can be prevented. It can be reduced by spraying wash water.

However, when cleaning water is sprayed on a wafer that is rotating at a high speed, a large amount of atomized steam is generated in the vicinity of the wafer, so that a large-capacity exhaust duct and scattering of steam are prevented. A shatterproof wall is required around the cleaning device. Further, since the wafer is rotating at a high speed, there is a possibility that silicon debris or the like spattered by the cleaning water sprayed on the wafer surface hits the scattering prevention wall and bounces back and adheres to the wafer surface again. Therefore, there is a problem in that it may not be possible to sufficiently remove silicon debris and the like on the wafer surface.
