Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a coating and developing device, a coating unit including a photoresist coating, and a developing solution for a surface-center-side binding plate thereof a developing unit for developing; and an exposure apparatus and a cleaning apparatus for liquid exposure. [Prior Art] In the step of forming a photoresist which is a step of forming a semiconductor, it is a system in which a coating/developing device of a semiconductor first development and a developing device is connected to an exposure device. (EUvdp + image is also required to mention the South. In this case, extreme ultraviolet exposure Vl〇let Lith〇graphy), electron beam projection exposure fh (Ejection Lithography) ^^^^^ (F2 ^ fat r) In the development of exposure technology, in addition, the existing ίί ^ or krypton fluoride (KrF) exposure technology is improved to improve the resolution, and a method of illuminating the liquid phase of light penetration is formed on the π ϋΐ surface (hereinafter : Liquid exposure") was also explored. In the semiconductor and manufacturing equipment industry, due to the financial level 2, this slave can extend the life of the ArF exposure device, use ArF to 45nm, and use it to try to be more advanced. The immersion exposure utilizes light to pass through, for example, an ultrapure water towel, so that ArF having a wavelength of 193 nm is substantially characterized by a wavelength of 134 nm due to a short wavelength of the water towel. The exposure device for performing the immersion exposure is briefly described using the ® 15 first. First, the support mechanism (not shown) supports the wafer in the horizontal state (for example, the wafer w). The front end portion of the exposure device 1 is disposed on the surface of the surface of the wafer, and the lens 1 is provided on the outer side of the lens. There are a supply port 11 for supplying a solution for forming a liquid layer on the surface of the wafer W, such as water, and a suction port 12 for sucking water supplied to the wafer W for recovery. 5 1270924 In this case, the surface of the W is supplied with water, and one film (water film) is recovered from the suction port 12 by one side. A liquid is formed on the wafer W from the light source fUt and the wafer surface, and the light that has passed through the lens 10 penetrates the liquid film, and the shading area 13 is drawn larger than the actual surface. The barrier procedure of exposure to immersion liquid has the following problems. That is, the spleen d' round treatment is performed in a clean room in which a descending air current is formed, but it is difficult to completely remove the particles of the photoresist. Here, for example, if the film is formed by granules and the liquid film is formed by the surface of the (10) solid, the surface is moved by ίΐίί. As described above, "the exposure device and the liquid film are only the wafer-S case. Therefore, even if the particle adhesion portion is undone, 丨>, 9 is prevented from being exposed during transfer. As a result, the y, y, and y may be transferred, so that the defective portion of the photoresist pattern is spread on the wafer. One problem with 汾φα, 八μ, and liquid exposure is that the photoresist is dissolved on the liquid film side to make if. In particular, after the end of the exposure, the wafer: liquid: the peripheral portion of the wafer has a sloped structure, and the possibility that the eluted component does not fall over the inclined surface of the peripheral portion is not low. Therefore, it is formed on the surface of the crystal κ, and the droplets of the liquid droplets are adsorbed by the liquid droplets. How, if, after the immersion liquid is exposed, the particles on the wafer may adhere to the slanting surface and directly remain, so that the particles are easy to be Adsorbed to the peripheral portion. The wafer may be exposed, especially in the peripheral portion thereof, when the particles are attached to the cloth or on the developing device side, the particles may adhere to the main cause of the transfer. Moreover, if there are particles adhering to the surface of the wafer, !27〇924 = the temperature of the attached impurity is the same as the temperature of other impurities, especially in the subtractive treatment of diffusion in the resistive photoresist.

In this case, since it is in the processing block called the processing block where the coating unit or the developing unit is disposed, it is preferable that the processing unit of the county is required to take the amount of production. The cleaning unit is disposed in an interface block that connects the processing block to the exposure device. The unit for the wafer is generally subjected to spin cleaning, and as is known, the group 5 is applied to the center of the wafer to rotate the wafer while the coating unit or the developing unit is supplied, and then, Dry and dry. However, in such a drying apparatus, it is necessary to collect the scattered cleaning liquid, and it is necessary to provide a cup body having a concave portion formed over the entire periphery of the pedestal on which the wafer is placed. Further, in order to reliably capture the scattered washing liquid in the cup body, it is possible to provide a suction unit or the like to increase the size of the washing unit. Therefore, it is not practical for the cleaning unit to be equipped with a large space for processing the block. Moreover, the interface block needs to save space as much as possible, and it is difficult to adopt the design of the large-sized cleaning unit. . Further, in Patent Document 1, a device is disclosed in which a cleaning liquid is discharged from the vicinity of both end portions of a wafer and flows in a wafer shop, and the suction surface of the upper portion of the wafer towel is simultaneously supplied with the developer solution and the developer solution. Attracted to dry. However, in this type of device, only the cleaning liquid from the end of the wafer flows down. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cup having an upper side opening in a (10) wafer: the cup body hinders the miniaturization of the apparatus. k [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2004-95708 (pages 8 to 9, page 12, page 20) ' [Summary of the Invention] 7 1270924 The liquid solution to be solved by the invention provides a technique for inclusion Dip = night 1 = Γ Γ 在 在 在 在 在 在 = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Supplying liquid = 3 forms a liquid layer on the surface thereof to expose the liquid to include: ~, 净; hand washing 兀 ' after the photoresist coating on the semiconductor wafer, the immersion liquid is exposed before the immersion liquid is exposed: part ' The cleaning unit is horizontally supported on the semiconductor wafer; the cleaning liquid discharge port is formed to face the surface of the vine supported by the wafer support portion, and the length is substantially equivalent to the solid suction port for attracting the suction The cleaning liquid == two revolutions; the domain mechanism 'brings the B0il support portion with respect to the nozzle portion, and touches the straight axis rotation mechanism 'to make the nozzle portion and the cleaning position facing the surface of the wafer support g' The evacuation position of the surface of the semiconductor wafer is removed from the moon.

The f seat is composed of four upper seats 2 = two diagrams: (6)), the nozzle portion 5 is removed by the mechanism two to surround the peripheral portion of the wafer w. The 52 outlets 54 are in an ancient shape, and the washing liquid spout-a which is formed linearly on the top plate 51 is in a state in which the diameters of the W and the day W are the same (Fig. 8(c) and Fig. 4). 2 round 3 = 1 smudged sputum outlet 54 will be a cleaning solution (such as pure water), 55, 56 become suction = energy, so that the washing liquid spits out σ 54 on both sides of the suction liquid discharge outlet 61 to the field Further, the 'mouth portion 52' supplies pure water from the washing suction port 62 of the lower surface portion 60 and the back surface side of the peripheral portion, and at the same time, the washing of the lower surface and the peripheral portion is made to be in a suction state. This starts before the wafer boundary table. Yin. Also, the time of attraction is the state in which the surface of the top plate is rounded and the surface is washed at the same time or slightly. FIG. 9 is the state in which the wafer W is washed, and the clean liquid is discharged. A rough longitudinal view of the broken front, on the top plate 51, pure water The surface of the wash and the top of the wafer are spit out. The pure water side of the spout is filled, for example, between the wafer w and the lower side, and spreads to the sides of the washing liquid discharge port 54. This 18 1270924 l === port 55, 56 is attracted, so pure water will be sucked into the suction port (10) 56, and will not be spilled from the wafer. The portion 52 is cleaned by the peripheral edge of the wafer W, as shown in (4), on the back of the reading < blowing this The lower cleaning liquid discharge port 61 sucks the cleaning liquid toward the peripheral edge portion ί, tS of the wafer W, and the suction port 66 of the side portion of the mold portion 52 sucks the suction port 66. Further, part of the cleaning liquid is ff. It will be attracted by the attraction stream but will fall to the lower side of the lower part of the ship. The attraction of the word shape is set: =::?

Also, regarding the back and forth movement, it can be = 刖 状 区域 - - In this case, it is also possible to make two rounds of 'green' as described above, so that the strip-shaped area in the wafer w is washed, "54, 61 moving area 2; = finely strip the wafer W Wash the area. Further, the wafers w are individually washed by 19 ^ 27 〇 924 θ '+, and after the cleaning at the final angular position (Fig. 11 (c)) is completed, the nozzle portion 5 is removed from the wafer. w evacuation (Fig. 11 (d)), the wafer W is transported from the pedestal 4 by the arm of the transport unit 32 of the interface unit 3 (Fig. 11(e)), and is transported to the unit located in the interface unit Β3. _ In the figure, for the sake of simplicity, the wafer W and the top plate 51 are relaxed, but the interval is, for example, about 5 to 5 mm, and the cleaning liquid supplied to the surface of the wafer W does not remain on the surface. The suction liquids 55 and 56 are attracted by the suction ports 55 and 56, and the cleaning liquid on the back side of the peripheral portion of the wafer W is attracted by the suction port 66 on the side surface portion of the mouth portion 52, so that the wafer w does not remain. Further, in the present invention, a drying mechanism may be provided, and the nozzle: 5 may be integrated or separated to blow dry gas to the surface of the wafer. The drying mechanism may be configured such that a dry gas supply port or the like is provided along both sides of the suction ports 55 and 56 of the top plate 51 of the nozzle unit 5 in the longitudinal direction a. In the above embodiment, after the immersion liquid is exposed, the peripheral edge portion of the wafer is exposed to LUfi, and the liquid droplets remain on the peripheral edge portion of the wafer, so that the particles are easily adhered to the "wafer peripheral portion, which can be exposed after immersion exposure. Prevent the production of tUi even if there is residual immersion liquid on the surface of the wafer. When it is removed, it can be prevented in the step of immersion correction, and the wafer w is washed and hoped to be cleaned before development. Then, before t, for example, if the wafer is not heated, the wafer is immersed in the cleaning liquid of the ii phase, and the cleaning liquid is discharged. Therefore, the cleaning liquid is not two or two: 55, 56 is sucked to the discharge. The cleaning liquid in the peripheral portion of the wafer w is trapped by the rider, so that the cleaning liquid does not pass from the suction ports 62 and 66 of the type portion 52^p52, and the cup is recovered. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a coating unit around the cleaning unit, and the developing device becomes large. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the inclusion of the U as a preferable one, but it is also possible to prevent the nozzle portion 5 of the 20 1270924 from going back and forth. Moving, the wafer w is intermittently rotated at a small angular interval, for example, and the cleaning liquid is discharged at each angular position, or washed. The liquid does not sprinkle to a slow rotation speed, and the wafer W is continuously rotated to discharge the cleaning liquid. Further, in the lip portion 52, the distance between the lower portion 60 and the wafer w can be changed. When the cleaning liquid is filled in the gap, the gap can be enlarged, and a space can be formed between the cleaning liquid and the lower surface portion 60 to allow the cleaning liquid to scatter. In these cases, the suction port is disposed in the cleaning liquid. It is important that it can be surely attracted without falling. From this point of view, in the embodiment, the three sides of the lower cleaning liquid discharge port 61 are surrounded by the suction port 62, and the suction port 66 is provided on the side surface portion. As described in detail in the description of the operation, it is possible to surely attract the cleaning liquid discharged from the discharge port 61. Therefore, it is preferable to use a fine structure in the peripheral portion of the wafer W after the immersion exposure. In the case where it is easy to attach, the surface of the wafer w is not washed, and a cleaning unit that cleans only the peripheral portion of the wafer w is used. In this case, for example, the same structure as that shown in Fig. 14 may be used. The portions 71, 72 are each moved horizontally by the moving mechanisms 73, 74. In: Type 7 portions 71, 72 The lower side and the side surface side may be configured in the same manner as the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, or the upper surface portion may be the same as the lower surface portion, for example, or only the crystal may be provided, and the washing liquid may be discharged from the surface of the peripheral portion of the W portion. In this configuration, the washing liquid discharge port on the upper surface side corresponds to the upper side washing liquid discharge port of the present invention. Further, in the present invention, for example, the interface portion B3 may be provided with a cleaning unit for cleaning the wafer W before the exposure of the liquid: s: liquid. In this case, the nozzle portion 5 having the same structure as that shown in Fig. 4 can be used, which is the same as the previous embodiment. However, since the cleaning of the surface of the wafer W is important before the liquid exposure, the configuration of the 3-type portion 52 can be removed from the nozzle portion 5 of Fig. 4 . In this case, although there is a difference in the suction of the suction port, for example, the wafer w is reliably sucked and washed by the suction p so as not to move the nozzle portion 5 back and forth. The liquid viewpoint is preferred. Alternatively, in the nozzle portion 5 shown in Fig. 4, the cleaning liquid discharge port 61 and the suction port β2 on the lower surface side of the lip portion 52 may be removed. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the washing unit 21 1270924 is used as the connecting base: ===The arm of the transport unit 32 = the movement of the brakes and the follow-up = move 4 ' ίϊί;;; ^^, the effect of miniaturization and simple construction.
