Description of the invention (11)-CO2 is the most easily dissolved gas. Therefore, when the gas dissolved in water is released in the clean tank, it will immediately form a bubble layer / (bubble layer) ° The bubble layer has two functions here. First, the bubbles grow together and the particles will be pushed. In addition, if supplemented with the power of megasonic S, the bubbles will have the effect of plasticity and massage, and the particles will be more easily removed. Furthermore, there will be a repulsive force between the bubble layer and the bubble layer so that the particles will not re-attach. This type of repulsion force similar to an air cushion layer will not allow the particles to re-wet. As shown in the fifth figure, in the clean process of the present invention, bubbles are used to prevent particles from adhering to the wafer surface. The gas in the present invention may include air, 〇2, Co2, or N2, etc. . The gas depends on factors such as process requirements, ease of reaction with the wafer surface, and ease of dissolution. 1: In terms of k, air, 〇2, (; 〇2, and chemical, etc.) usually have the above requirements, but other gases that meet the above requirements are also possible, such as inert gases. High-pressure gas in water is not easy to be anywhere Air bubbles are generated, but they will be generated where the water is in contact with other interfaces. For example, air bubbles are formed in clean water. ^ Air bubbles will form, adsorb, and release on the wall of the cup. As shown in the fifth figure, the wafer丨 〇〇 is in high pressure water 〇 02, and the bubble 106 is usually formed on the surface of the wafer 100 and the particles 104. The particles 104-1 near the wafer 100 will be pushed away from the wafer 1 by the bubbles 106. 〇〇 the surface, and the particles 1004_2 that have left the surface of the wafer 100 will not return to the surface of the wafer i 〇〇 due to the repulsive force between the bubbles 106. Of course, some can also be provided here Heat can make air bubbles more easily. In the present invention, air bubbles can only form on the surfaces of particles and wafers, and are not easy to form on water alone. In addition,

A container 200 contains high-pressure water. A pipeline 210 connects the container 200 to a clean tank 2 2 0. The container 2000 contains high-pressure water, and its pressure is about 1 to 5 atmospheres', but the preferred pressure is 1.5 atmospheres. There is a valve 2 15 on the pipeline 2 10, which is used to control whether the high-pressure water in the container 200 flows to the clean tank 2 2 0. In the clean tank 220, a wafer 100 is immersed in the high-pressure water 102. At this time, the high-pressure water 102 forms a bubble 106 on the surface of the wafer 100 and the inside of the clean tank 22.

As shown in FIG. 8, it is a schematic diagram of an example of solid bismuth applied to another type of wet cleaning equipment according to the present invention, wherein the wet cleaning equipment is a conventional wet cleaning workbench. As shown in the figure, it has two chemical tanks, H2_3 and two ultra-pure water washing tanks 112-2 and 112-4. The two chemical tanks are hydrofluoric acid tank 11 2-1 and SCI tank 11 2-3. . Each of the tanks 112 has a pipeline 114 for accessing the hydrofluoric acid tank 11 2-1 and the hydrofluoric acid via the pipeline 1 Hi.

After the hydrofluoric acid etching, we apply high-pressure water to form a bubble layer. On the one hand, a bubble protective layer is formed on the surface of the bare silicon. On the other hand, the particles are taken away from the wafer surface by the bubbles, and then the particles are taken away by the overflow. There is no chance to stick back. So the fluorinated acid is etched, and afterwards it is not cleaned with any SCI. This means that after the hydrofluoric acid etching process, the present invention can be a better clean process. In the cleaning before the gate oxide layer, the requirements for cleanliness are not equal to the 'primary oxygen cutting, particulates, and metal ions cannot be on the wafer at π' and the wafer surface must have Extremely high flatness.
