New description: The fixture of [New Technology Field], and this creation is related to a photoresist coating process, especially for a fixture for cleaning photoresist nozzles. [Prior Art] A 2-resistance coating and (4) is the main step in the production of semi-conducting light: the first step is to spray the grade liquid on the substrate, and then the liquid is firstly blocked by rotating or smearing. The material is distributed on the substrate. Subsequent to the •, reticle pair >, light exposure, baking, and hard baking steps to form a predetermined patterned photoresist layer on the substrate. : The conventional photoresist coating and patterning steps are based on individual substrates. Therefore, when different substrates are being replaced, usually a period of time difference causes the photoresist to stand by in the machine. At the time of coagulation (solid), a hard block new plug (4) is generated on the surface of the mouth, and the photoresist coating process and quality of the next substrate are obtained. In order to solve this problem, a new type of light=liquid nozzle cleaning system has been installed on the newer machine, and the nozzle is cleaned or covered in each step of the photoresist spraying step. In addition to the steps. However, with this design, :: Add more hardware facilities on the prototype machine, such as lotion containers, two-way, photoresist to the fixture and cleaning tank, and the nozzle must be moved for dip Drainage (4), in addition to after each cleaning step, pouting, ',, need to perform another coordinate to be able to carry out the subsequent process, for the use of the original machine, in addition to the A frame increased hard In addition to the cost of physical investment, the 5 M354844 process steps are not economically viable. Therefore, there is a need to provide a process fixture that allows the prototype machine to achieve the purpose of cleaning the nozzle without increasing the investment in large hardware. [New content] The purpose of this (4) is to provide a cleaning fixture for the Kawasaki nozzle, which is movably close to the photoresist coating device, thereby cleaning the photoresist liquid nozzle of the photoresist coating device, wherein the photoresist liquid nozzle is cleaned.

The technical features of the present invention are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. The creative concepts and technical means provided by the present creative embodiment are also applicable to the photoresist coating and patterning process. Figure 1 is a schematic view showing the structure of a cleaning jig 100 of a photoresist liquid nozzle 107 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a photoresist liquid nozzle is used for cleaning. The cleaning jig 100 of 1〇7 includes: a container 1〇1 and a liquid filling tube 1〇2. The container 101 has a recess 104 for containing a lotion 1〇3, wherein the container 101 can be made of a rigid or soft material. The structure of the housing. For example In some embodiments of the present invention, the container 101 may be a metal groove cast from a metal material, and the metal groove has an opening 105 in the shape of a bowl for containing the lotion 103. Other implementations of the present invention For example, the container 101 may also be a soft plastic tank cast from a plasticized material. The liquid injection tube 102 is connected to the container 101 and communicates with the groove 104 for injecting the lotion 103 into the groove 1〇4. One end of the liquid injection tube 1〇2 has a first opening l〇2a communicating with the groove 1〇4, and the other end has a second opening 1〇沘 for receiving the external liquid supply device 106, whereby the lotion 1〇3 is externally The liquid supply device 106 is introduced into the groove 1〇4. The external liquid supply device 106 preferably can be a hand-held Wash Bottle, so that it can be freely and elastically operated according to the photoresist used in the process. The physical or chemical characteristics of the liquid change the kind of the lotion 103 injected into the groove 1〇4. The lotion 103 preferably includes an acetone (Acet〇ne) solvent or N-methyl·2-port pyrone (N -Methyl-2-Pyrrolidinone) Solvent. M354844 in this In the preferred embodiment, the liquid injection tube 102 can be a rigid tube, except that the lotion 103 can be introduced into the recess 104, and can also serve as a handle for the container 101 when the photoresist nozzle cleaning step is performed. The operator can hold the liquid injection tube 102 by hand or using a jig, and move the container 101 close to the photoresist liquid nozzle 1〇7 of the photoresist coater 108 to make the photoresist liquid nozzle 107 pass through the opening of the container 101. 105 is inserted into the recess 1 〇 4 and immersed in the lotion 103. In addition, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning jig of the photoresist liquid nozzle 1 〇 7 further includes a recessed The drain hole ι〇9 at the bottom of the tank 1〇4, and the strip discharge tube no of the drain hole 1G9, the detergent 103 after the completion of the washing step in the county is discharged from the drain hole 1〇9 through the drain tube 11〇 The container is discharged outside the container 1〇1. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method of using the photoresist liquid nozzle cleaning tool 100 of the first embodiment can be as follows: First, a photoresist liquid nozzle cleaning jig as shown in Fig. 1 is provided. Next, the lotion 1〇3 is injected into the groove 1〇4 of the container 1〇1 by the liquid filling tube 102. The container ιοί is moved closer to the photoresist nozzle 107, and the photoresist nozzle 1〇7 is immersed in the lotion 103. In addition to the immersion cleaning step, the cleaning step of the photoresist liquid nozzle 1 〇 7 further includes a rinsing step of pumping the rinsing agent 1 〇 3 with the photoresist liquid nozzle 1 , 7 and then removing the Purge detergent. It is to be noted that in still other embodiments, the cleaning step S22 and the step S23 described above may be reversed each other. That is to say, the container ι〇ι can be moved close to the photoresist liquid nozzle 107, and the photoresist liquid nozzle 1〇7 can be extended into the groove. The lotion 1102 is then injected into the recess 8 M354844 of the container 1〇1 by the liquid filling tube 102, and the photoresist liquid nozzle 107 is immersed in the lotion 103. Finally, a rinsing step is performed to suck the lotion 103 with the photoresist liquid nozzle 107, and then the detergent is removed. Thus, in accordance with the above-described embodiments, the present invention is characterized in that an photoresist coating and patterning machine is provided with an additional cleaning jig for cleaning the photoresist coating in the photoresist coating and patterning machine. Since the cleaning fixture of the photoresist liquid nozzle can manually infiltrate and seal the photoresist liquid nozzle by the operator by manually approaching the photoresist liquid nozzle, the photoresist coating and patterning are not required. Additional hardware equipment is added to the machine, and no additional process steps are added to achieve the purpose of cleaning the nozzle. Although the present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and any person skilled in the relevant art will be able to make various changes and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. . Therefore, the scope of protection of this creation is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application.
