Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and a device for cleaning substrates, in which or in which the substrates are each individually wet-cleaned in at least one coarse cleaning device.
- semiconductor wafers are different process steps, such as. B exposed to coating, masking, etching, doping, polishing, etc. In between, it may be necessary to clean the substrates. In particular after a polishing step, it is necessary to clean the polished substrates, since abrasion particles of the substrates and polishing liquid usually adhere to them.
- the substrates are transported from the polishing device to a brush cleaning system, as described, for example, in EP-A-0 412 796, JP-A-7 066 161, US-A-5 547 515 or JP-A-1 289 122 are known.
- a brush cleaning system as described, for example, in EP-A-0 412 796, JP-A-7 066 161, US-A-5 547 515 or JP-A-1 289 122 are known.
- the substrates are cleaned individually by means of rotating brushes and a cleaning liquid.
- the substrates are then typically dried and collected as a batch, as described, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,547,515.
- the dried and collected substrates are later used in a fine cleaning device, as described, for example, in DE-A-44 13 077, DE-A-195 46 990 or DE-A-196 37 875 of the same applicant are used.
- this fine cleaning device the substrates in a batch are combined sam immersed in a treatment liquid and finally cleaned in it, for example, by generating a flow in a treatment tank. Subsequently, the substrates are moved out of the fine cleaning device and dried, the drying being carried out by slowly lifting the substrates out of the treatment liquid. The drying process is accelerated by a fluid introduced above the treatment liquid in accordance with the "Marangoni effect" described in EP-A-0 385 536.
- drying of the respective substrates is necessary between the individual cleaning of the substrates in the brush cleaning systems and the batch-wise cleaning in the fine cleaning device.
- B. by spinning or heat treatment of the wafers. This drying is necessary because the treatment liquid used in brush cleaning would otherwise adhere to the wafer and create streaks, which would result in a subsequent one
- the dried wafers must then be temporarily stored and collected in order to be used as a batch in the fine cleaning device.
- the drying step between brush cleaning and fine cleaning is complex and involves the risk of damage to the wafer by spinning or heat treatment.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a simplified and improved method and an improved and simplified device for cleaning substrates, with which the treatment of the substrates is accelerated and thus the productivity is increased.
- the object is achieved in a method of the type mentioned at the outset in that, after the pre-cleaning, the substrates are transported in the wet state into a collecting basin filled with treatment fluid, the substrates are collected in the collecting basin, and the substrates upon reaching a certain one Number in the collecting basin together as a batch in the wet state in a fine cleaning device, the substrates in the fine cleaning device are wet cleaned, and the batch is subsequently dried.
- the substrate is preferably pre-cleaned with a rotating brush and a treatment liquid.
- the substrate is rotated during the same for a uniform pre-cleaning.
- the substrate is sonicated according to a preferred embodiment with ultrasonic waves or with megasonic.
- the substrate is pre-cleaned in two different coarse cleaning devices and transported in the wet state from a first coarse cleaning device to a second coarse cleaning device. The use of two coarse cleaning devices increases the pre-cleaning effect.
- the substrates are held in an essentially the same, vertical orientation during the method steps, whereby in particular a transport device for the substrates can be simplified since this does not have to rotate the substrates between the different cleaning steps.
- the substrates are completely immersed in a cleaning and / or rinsing liquid and washed around with it.
- the substrates are preferably sonicated with ultrasound waves to increase the cleaning effect.
- the substrates are moved out of the cleaning and / or rinsing liquid for drying and are introduced into a dry transfer hood and locked therein.
- a fluid is preferably introduced into the drying area via the dry transfer hood before and / or while the substrates are being moved out of the cleaning and / or rinsing liquid.
- the introduced fluid is preferably a gas mixture of nitrogen and isopropyl alcohol which reduces the surface tension of the cleaning and / or rinsing liquid and thereby causes the cleaning and / or rinsing liquid to flow better when the substrates are moved out.
- a device for wet cleaning of substrates which has at least one single-substrate coarse cleaning device with a liquid supply and a treatment container, in that at least one collecting tank that can be filled with treatment fluid for receiving several substrates, a batch fine cleaning device with a fluid container and at least one transport device for wet transport of the substrates between the single substrate coarse cleaning device and the collecting basin on the one hand and the collecting basin and the batch fine cleaning device on the other hand is provided.
- substrates are temporarily stored in the collecting basin before they can be transported in batches to a fine cleaning device. Due to the intermediate storage in a treatment fluid, there is no danger that the liquid adhering to the substrates after the rough cleaning will dry and form streaks. This means that the previously required drying step between a single coarse cleaning and a batch fine cleaning with the risk of damaging the substrates can also be omitted. In addition, the treatment speed and thus the efficiency of the device is increased.
- the single substrate coarse cleaning device has at least one rotatable brush.
- the single substrate coarse cleaning device has at least one rotatable pressure roller in order to rotate the substrate during the coarse cleaning and thereby to obtain a uniform cleaning effect.
- the single-substrate coarse cleaning device has at least one ultrasonic transmitter.
- the single-substrate coarse cleaning device has two treatment tanks, each with at least one liquid supply and at least one brush. In this way, a two-stage and better pre-cleaning of the substrates can be achieved.
- the single substrate coarse cleaning device, the collecting basin, the batch fine cleaning device and the transport device each have holding means in order to hold the substrates in an essentially identical, preferably vertical, orientation. This in particular simplifies the transport device since it does not have to rotate the substrate into another orientation during transport.
- the substrates are advantageously held essentially vertically in order to achieve compatibility with known batch fine cleaning devices.
- the batch fine cleaning device preferably has at least one inlet for cleaning and / or rinsing liquid, as well as at least one ultrasonic transmitter, in order to achieve a good final cleaning effect.
- the batch fine cleaning device In order to facilitate the introduction and removal of the substrates in or from the batch fine cleaning device, it has a lifting and lowering device for the substrates.
- the transport device has a dry transport hood with holding means for the substrates.
- the holding means in the dry transport hood enable the substrates to be used alone, ie without a speaking substrate carrier can be picked up and transported, which reduces the risk of contamination of the substrates by a substrate carrier.
- the dry transport hood has means for introducing a fluid into a drying area located above a surface of said liquid.
- the transport device preferably has a wet transport hood for transporting a batch of substrates from a collecting basin to the batch fine cleaning device.
- a wet transport hood next to the dry transport hood ensures that the dry transport hood is always dry and thus does not contaminate the substrates that have been taken up.
- the single-substrate coarse cleaning devices, the receiving and collecting basin and the batch fine cleaning device are arranged in a row. This also simplifies the transport device since it only has to perform linear movements.
- the device has an input area with a receptacle and an input basin which can be filled with liquid.
- the input area with a receptacle has the advantage that an external dealer can deliver substrates to the device without precise coordination with the individual substrate coarse cleaning devices.
- the inlet basin, which can be filled with liquid, may prevent liquids adhering to the substrates from drying out before rough cleaning.
- the single substrate coarse cleaning device, the collecting tank, the batch fine cleaning device, the input area and the entrance basin are arranged in a row.
