Abstract

PURPOSE:To uniform the flowing conditions of the air coming into contact with the upper and lower surfaces of a wafer and simultaneously apply a resist liquid to both surfaces thereby to form resist films of uniform thickness, by selecting the distance between the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer and constituent members facing the same, respectively, to be not less than 1/5 of the diameter of the wafer. CONSTITUTION:The apparatus has a chuck mechanism 3 for clamping a wafer 1 by the lower end portions of claws 9, 9 by the urging forces of springs 14, 14 respectively, means for rotating the same, and upper and lower nozzles 10, 11 for spraying both surfaces of the wafer 1 with a resist liquid. The distance l between the wafer 1 and a plate 13 is made slightly larger than 1/5 of the diameter of the wafer 1, and the distance m between the wafer 1 and the bottom surface E of a cup 12 is made much larger than 1/5 of the diameter of the wafer 1. In the apparatus thus constructed, while the wafer 1 is clamped by the claws 9, 9 of the chuck mechanism 3 and rotated, a resist liquid is sprayed on both the surfaces of the wafer 1 and spread, and the wafer 1 is rotated at high speed immediately thereafter. As a result, resist films are uniformly formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer 1, respectively. In addition, the resist films on the upper and lower surfaces become uniform in thickness.

In the past, equipment for applying resist solution to wafers was generally structured to apply resist solution to one side at a time, so with regard to the uniformity of the applied resist film, only efforts were made to improve the uniformity within the 10,000-plane surface. No efforts were made to make the resist coatings on both sides uniform.

Initially, while rotating the chuck mechanism 3 holding the wafer 1 at a relatively low speed (for example, 500 to 1.00 rpm), the resist solution is easily sprayed onto the upper and lower surfaces of the chuck mechanism 3 from the upper nozzle lO and the lower nozzle 11. It spreads over the entire surface of the wafer l. Next, the rotation speed is set to a relatively high speed (
For example, if you set it to 3,000~5.00Orpm),
The excess resist solution is shaken off and scattered by centrifugal force, and the film thickness of the resist solution becomes thinner depending on the rotation speed.

A plate 13 faces parallel to the top of the wafer 1, and since these two members rotate together, the air sandwiched between them is also rotated in the same direction, and the wafer 1 is directed toward the outside of the wafer 1 as shown by arrows D and D'. It flows in a vortex. The state of the flow changes as the distance t between the two members changes.

Additionally, a vortex of air is similarly generated between the lower surface of the wafer l and the bottom surface E of the cup 12 facing it, and the state of this vortex changes as the distance m between the two members changes. The state of the vortex flow is different from the state of the vortex flow on the upper surface of the unicorn described above, which is a rounding phenomenon that occurs between the wafer 1, which is a rotating member, and the bottom surface of the cup 112, which is a stationary member. In addition, the influence of the size of the interval dimension t on the vortex flow, and the influence of the interval dimension m

As can be clearly understood by comparing the two figures, when the dimensions are too small (50cm), there is a large difference in the film thickness distribution on the upper surface of the film between the center and the periphery. Then, by appropriately summing the dimensions, the difference in film thickness between the central part and the peripheral part of the sea urchin will be reduced, and there will be no large difference compared to the film thickness on the bottom surface of the sea urchin.

The reason why this phenomenon occurs is that when the size of the plate is small, the flow of air between the two rotating members (Uni/%1 and plate 13) is fast, and therefore the evaporation rate of the solvent of the resist solution is fast. It is thought that the resist solution on the upper surface solidifies faster than the resist solution on the lower surface of the wafer 1, resulting in a thicker film, and this tendency is particularly noticeable in the center of the sea urchin I.

FIGS. 5A and 5B show examples of film thickness distributions when the distance mt between the lower surface of the sea urchin/-1 and the member facing it (in this example, the bottom surface E of the cup 12) is varied. The case in FIG. 5 is Ar1rn=10-, and the case in FIG. 5 is Bijm=Sono■.

As can be clearly understood by comparing the two figures, when the m dimension is too small (10 square meters), there is a large difference in the film thickness distribution on the lower surface of the Unino between the center and the periphery. When the m dimension reaches an appropriate value, the difference in film thickness between the central part and the peripheral part of the bottom surface of the sea urchin 1 decreases, and there is no large difference in film thickness compared to the film thickness of the top surface of the sea urchin 1.

The reason for this phenomenon is that as the m dimension decreases, the air flow slows down, so the evaporation rate of the solvent in the resist solution slows down, and the film thickness becomes thinner, making it difficult for the resist solution to coagulate. It is thought that this phenomenon is particularly noticeable in the center.

As explained above, (a) when the distance between the upper surface of the wafer 1 and the rotating member is 5 or more, the effect of the opposing member will no longer be applied; When the distance between the lower surface and the opposing member, which is a stationary member, is 5 or more of the wafer diameter, there will be no influence from the opposing member.

Figure 6B shows the case where the film thickness was adjusted by increasing the rotation speed to 1.00 rpm.
This shows the case where the film thickness was adjusted by increasing the speed by 000 rpm K. This reduces the spread to 1. It can be seen that it is possible to make the film thickness on both the upper and lower surfaces more uniform by performing it at a relatively high speed of about 500 rpm.

[Scope of Claims] A chuck mechanism having claws that grip the outer periphery of the wafer by the biasing force of a spring, means for supporting and rotating the chuck mechanism, and a chuck mechanism that grips both sides of the wafer gripped by the chuck rock structure. In a wafer double-sided resist coating device comprising a means for spraying liquid resist, the distance between the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer held by the chuck mechanism and the opposing constituent members of the resist coating device is as follows: The resist film on both sides of the wafer is uniform, characterized in that the diameter of the wafer is 14 or more, so that the flow state of air in contact with the upper surface of the wafer is made similar to the flow state of air in contact with the lower surface of the evaporator. Coating device.
