Description of the invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a dry UV light substrate cleaning method and equipment, and more particularly to a dry UV light / ozone substrate cleaning method and equipment. The previous technology "ultra-fine process" is a common trend in the development of high-end electronics industry, including deep sub-micron semiconductors, TFT_LCD, n ^ Vs communication components, ultra-precision processing, nano material manufacturing, nano electronic components and other technologies. Super fine and ultra clean development. In the development of ultra-fine micro-processes, when the process field is compressed to the molecular level, the presence of ultra-trace pollutants (including organics, metals, and particulate matter) at any link in the process environment and the variation in their concentration values will be critical. Affects the process yield, especially the component defects caused by organic pollutants are as high as 90 (3 /. Above. Although there are many key factors affecting the production yield, the most important factor is the cleanliness of the substrate. of the substrate); therefore, as the line width of components is rapidly compressed, the cleanliness requirements of the process environment are also becoming stricter. Therefore, the development of new water-saving and ultra-clean cleaning technologies will increase for the ultra-fine industry in the future in response to the high-cleanliness trend The technical base necessary for the process yield, especially in the 1C or TFT-LCD related industrial processes, it must face multiple stages of cleaning and private processes. The wafer or substrate size continues to expand, and the unit area requires water I and dissolved clams. The amount has been multiplied. Although the traditional cleaning process with multiple P white I and β washing sequences can fully clean the substrate, wet cleaning The acid, test, cleaning agent, organic solvent, etc. used in the process can no longer meet the requirements of the high cleanliness of the process 1241221 degrees. Not only the subsequent wastewater treatment and discharge problems are unavoidable, but also must be equipped with the substrate drying process. Stage: Γ Residues such as white stains are the burden of white slaves. In addition, some water-washing and semi-washing methods require the addition of hazardous organic solvents to facilitate the removal of grease and dirt. Due to international environmental awareness in recent years It has been increasing year by year. Such traditional wet cleaning processes are facing the requirements of prohibition or transformation. Many related industries that require the use of solvents are also facing pressures and crises from all walks of life. On the other hand, many alternative cleaning technologies have also been developed. Dry cleaning technology can better meet the high cleanliness and achieve high-efficiency cleaning effect. Compared with plasma and iaser cleaning technology, it needs to operate under low temperature and high vacuum ring, and equipment maintenance is not easy. And the production capacity is relatively low, because the ultraviolet ozone (uv / 〇3) cleaning method requires no vacuum, the equipment is simplified, easy to maintain, and saves money. Process cleaning time and the potential for large-scale online automation make it more competitive and productive. Improved mouth cleanliness requirements also increase the difficulty of cleaning technology development. Representative substrate dry cleaning technology. Because UV light has chemical bonds Interrupted energy, so it can be used to oxidize and decompose organic pollutants using its characteristics. At present, the common methods for generating ultraviolet light in the industry include low-pressure mercury lamps and medium-pressure mercury lamps. After the lamp tube is modified and improved, the light source output is stable. High efficiency and long-term operation will not produce high temperature. At present, the UV or UV / ozone dry cleaning machine in domestic use is designed to inject gas from the machine on one side and pump on one side (Figure 4). Achieve comprehensive and large-scale uniform cleaning. In Figure 4, the injected gas is filtered air. After entering the machine, it reacts to generate ozone, and then decomposes into oxygen atoms. The oxidizing ozone and the number of oxygen atoms pass through. Low, 1241221 has poor oxidation effect and cleaning time must be extended. In addition, the gas flow mode of unilateral injection and unilateral exhaust also makes pollutants easily trapped in the machine. The substrate 10 washed in FIG. 4 cannot be uniformly cleaned. The dots indicate the cleanest place after cleaning, the cross-points indicate the least clean place after cleaning, and the triangular points indicate that the cleanliness is in between. Gas distribution plates or gas deiivery systems are widely used in IC semiconductor manufacturing, and their applications mainly include chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Stage 'such as thin film deposition or cleaning of the CVD chamber. A search of patent literature shows that, to date, no relevant patent literature has been published for gas dispersion discs or modules for substrate cleaning. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A main object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for cleaning a dry UV light substrate without the disadvantages of the prior art. The method for cleaning a dry UV light substrate disclosed in the present invention comprises the following steps: a) placing a substrate in a closed space; b) introducing a cleaning gas into the seal in a direction perpendicular to a surface to be cleaned of the substrate Space; c) irradiate a UV light perpendicularly to the surface to be cleaned of the substrate; and, d) draw air from the enclosed space through the channel below the substrate (the unlit side) and around the surface to be cleaned, and The cleaning gas is carried in the closed space of 1241221. The cleaned air contained in the clean air bag containing clean air, pure oxygen and containing step b) is removed from the preferred clean air of step b). Ozone gas or a mixture thereof. Better gas mixture of milk and ozone. Preferably, the UV sub-ultraviolet lamp of step e). The source of light includes a low-pressure mercury lamp or a quasi-substrate suitable for carrying out the method of the present invention. <Π Dead substrates include glass substrates, silicon wafers, quartz wafers, or color samples. . After the glass substrate has been subjected to steps b) to d) 151 B master, &amp; V-) for a period of time, the cleaned surface of the glass substrate has a water contact angle of less than 1G degree. The invention also discloses a dry-type UV light substrate cleaning device, comprising: a cleaning tank; a substrate placing platform to be cleaned arranged in the cleaning tank, wherein the placing platform and the groove of the cleaning tank surround the A suction channel for a platform; an upper cover structure, which is air-tightly combined with the cleaning tank and can be opened, and includes a gas dispersion module and a plurality of UV lamps, wherein the gas dispersion module has the same plane A plurality of gas dispersion holes; when the upper cover structure is air-tightly coupled to the cleaning tank, the plurality of UV lamp officials are located above the placing platform, and the plurality of UV lamp tubes and the placing platform are parallel to each other; and A plane having a plurality of the gas dispersion holes is parallel to the placement platform via the plurality of UV lamp tubes. Preferably, the gas dispersion module includes multiple layers of gas dispersion plates parallel to each other, wherein each layer of gas dispersion plates has equally spaced gas dispersion holes, and the size of the gas dispersion holes of each layer of gas dispersion plates is separated from the placement platform. The one that is furthest to the nearest to the placement platform gradually shrinks. More preferably, the total area of the gas dispersion holes in each layer of the gas dispersion plate gradually decreases from the farthest from the placement platform to the closest to the placement platform. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the gas dispersing plate of the gas dispersing module package 34 layers parallel to each other has a gas dispersing hole that is farthest from the placement platform, and has four gas dispersing holes, and The gas dispersion plate closest to the placement platform had 676 gas dispersion holes with a diameter of G3 mm. Preferably, the plurality of UV lamp tubes are barrier-type low-pressure mercury lamps or excimer lamps. Preferably, the placement platform is connected to a micro-servomotor, so that the micro-servoir can be used. The driving of the motor precisely adjusts the vertical distance from the placing platform to the plurality of lamp officials. The vertical distance that the placing platform can move is ~ 5 · 8 cm. Preferably, the placing platform is provided with a heating device. Through the design and installation of the gas dispersion module of the present invention, the cleaning gas is led to the gas dispersion module at a certain flow rate in cooperation with the equidistant channels around the platform on which the cleaning tank is placed, and the cleaning tank is also exhausted and The action of exhaust makes the introduced cleaning gas be effectively and uniformly dispersed on the surface of the board to be cleaned, so that the pollutants adhered to the surface of the substrate to be cleaned and the imported cleaning gas fully function, and the products after decomposition can be completely discharged. / Monthly, there is no concern about the sluggish accumulation of pollutants. In addition, in this case, the finite element numerical analysis method was used to simulate the uniform airflow distribution in the cleaning tank 1241221 to verify the flow field distribution in the cleaning tank. The results show that the case is clear. The degree of exhaustion and airflow distribution are all 2 degrees, which is better than the unilateral air intake and extraction method currently used in actual factories = the concentration of pollutants in the cleaning tank of the washing machine is taken out and the airflow is evenly distributed. Conditions such as poor degree obviously have a significant improvement effect. Embodiment 1 A UV / ozone dry cleaning machine completed according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1, and the entire mechanism of the machine is made of stainless steel. ~ The hexaoxygen dry cleaning machine includes an upper cover structure 1, which is provided with a gas knife module 3, and a barrier-type UV lamp tube 2, which can effectively shorten the distance between the lamp tubes; and a π washing tank A, which is provided with a The substrate 4 to be cleaned is placed on a platform 4, and a micro servo motor (not shown in the figure) is connected below the placement flat port 4, so that the distance between the substrate to be cleaned 4 and the uV lamp tube 2 can be accurately trimmed, wherein the placement The four sides below the platform 4 are provided with equal-length elongated exhaust channels 5. Figure 2 = Detailed design drawing of this milk dispersion module 3. Gas Dispersion Module] is a multi-layer scoping meter, from the top to the bottom, a total of four layers of stainless steel plates 6, 丨 8, 9, each layer of non-scale steel plate is drilled with gas dispersion holes 20 at a fixed distance, and its distribution is from above The diameter of the holes in the lower layer tends to shrink. The lower the holes, the denser the holes and the smaller the pore diameter. The main design principle is that the total area of all the gas dispersion holes in each layer must be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the gas injection pipeline. The purpose of designing and disposing the gas dispersion holes is to make the introduced fluid evenly dispersed, and penetrate the pores between the barrier-type UV lamp tubes 2 to reach the placement platform 4. The UV / 〇3 dry cleaning process for the substrate to be cleaned is to first place the substrate 1241221 to be cleaned in the cleaning tank A, and then 踗 μ ^ μ, 罝 10 mouth 4, and the upper cover structure i is set to deliver pure oxygen. To an ozone production device (not shown in the figure), some lice * 1 are converted into ozone, so the mixed fluid containing _ ^ '乳 乳 ^ / stink lice at the same time passes through the flow of body 1-which can resist ozone The injection pipeline is guided by the non-recording steel finger set 3, and then the fence-type cymbal lamp tube 2 and the air extraction device are activated, and the oxygen / ozone mixed gas introduced in the cymbal can be effectively distributed in the cleaning tank A. The mixed gas first passes through the larger holes of the first layer of the gas dispersion module 3 without recording the steel plate 6, and then passes through the second, third, and * layers of the gas dispersion module 3 respectively (without recording steel plates 7, 8, 9) It is further dispersed, and a proper suction is performed through a suction channel 5 opened around the placement platform 4 under the second suction device 2 and discharged. The extraction channel 5 is used for the substrate cleaning with a stable, uniform, and constant-speed extraction to facilitate the introduction of the gas flow field to the surface of the substrate to be cleaned; on the other hand, this extraction channel 5 can also provide The waste after the UV / 〇3 reaction is effectively discharged from the cleaning tank A, and no pollution remains. Finally, the organic contamination impurities on the substrate to be cleaned can be discharged out of the cleaning tank A after being decomposed by the reaction between UV and ozone. After a fixed time reaction, stop the mixed gas injection and turn off the UV lamp. At this time, the cleaned substrate can be taken out. Example 1 (1) Uniform measurement and verification after cleaning the substrate to be cleaned 11 1241221 Experimental conditions: UV-irradiation wavelength Γ85 / 25 4 ηηΓ-UV lamp form a mercury lamp ~~ ^ ~-Gas of stainless steel plate 6 Dispersion hole diameter 6mm, total area 1132cm2 Gas dispersion hole diameter of stainless steel plate 7 2mm, total surface 穑 0snVm2 Gas dispersion hole diameter of stainless steel plate 8 0.8mm, total area 0503cm2 Gas dispersion hole diameter of stainless steel plate 9 0.3mm The total surface is 〇47Srm2 pure oxygen injection flow rate 1 mVh — glass substrate size 30 cm χ 30 cm cleaning tank temperature during cleaning 25 ° C ~ ~-UV irradiation distance 1 cm UV irradiation time 5 minutes measurement UV / ozone cleaning 丄Change of contact angies after water 'evaluates the uniformity of cleaning at different positions on the substrate. Fig. 3 α and 3 b are the results of contact angle measurement. The results of contact angle measurement after cleaning show that all measurement points can be less than 10. . At present, the thin-film transistor liquid crystal display manufacturing process requires the glass to be cleaned at an angle of less than 10. . (2) The finite element numerical analysis method simulates the uniformity of the dispersion of the injected gas in the cleaning tank. The finite element method (finite element method) can be applied to any geometric shape to achieve the purpose of generalization of the program. The developed program is used to simulate the size of various light washing machines to calculate the flow pattern (n0W pattern) of substrate washing tanks of light washing machines of various designs, so it can judge the optimal design of various machines It is beneficial to optimize the parameters of the machine's actual design operation θ. Therefore, in this embodiment, the finite element method and the projecti0n formula are used to simulate the physical fields such as the flow field and pressure of the substrate cleaning tank under the specified design flow rate of 12 l24l22l to evaluate the uniformity of the knife in the flow field. Degree, when the internal flow field Reynolds number (Renald numb ^) is not high, that is, / ;, the L field belongs to laminar flow, using this method requires only a small number of grids to capture the internal flow field. Trend distribution; when the Reynolds number of the internal airport is very large, or even twbulent fl (twbulent fl0w), the average motion of the entire flow field can be accurately calculated as long as the fineness of the netting is less than the minimum characteristic scale of the flow field. Mode (mean mode). Numerical analysis and simulation results show that within a short time (t2 = 0.003 seconds), about 6 to 7% of the organic residual amount on the substrate surface has been left, and the pollutants at this time are preparing to be discharged through the exhaust channel 5, most of them Contaminants remain in the cleaning tank. By t6 (t6 = r seconds), the contaminants have been completely discharged from the light washer. In addition, the finite element numerical analysis method is also used to simulate the diffusion of defective materials on the single-sided gas injection and single-sided oxygen (different sides) of traditional dry cleaning machines. The results show that at time t5At6, a large vortex is generated in the flow field. This vortex is characterized by a gradual decrease in pressure towards the center of the vortex, but a gradual increase in the opposite speed. This vortex is not conducive to the diffusion of pollutants because of pollution. As the material flows to the center, it cannot be smoothly discharged from the cleaning tank.
