Below, the embodiment as cleaning device of the present invention illustrates concrete application examples.First, as the 1st embodiment ~ the 4th embodiment, illustrate in the 1st cleaning unit 16 or the 2nd cleaning unit 18 flushing cleaning in of the present invention be suitable for.When rinsing cleaning, because the form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part in the rolling cleaning part in the 1st cleaning unit 16 and the 2nd cleaning unit is not had an effect, so be completely removed from the top of substrate.This is that particle in order to avoid being attached to the parts such as rolling cleaning part and form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part and liquid are fallen on substrate when rinsing cleaning and polluted substrate.
Substrate W is using surface as upper and be held in not shown substrate rotation mechanism.When substrate rotation mechanism keeps substrate W and rotates, its central shaft (by center O and the axle vertical with the surface of substrate W) rotates as rotating shaft by substrate W.
(the 1st embodiment)
(a) of Fig. 2 is the top view of the position relationship representing substrate in the cleaning device of the 1st embodiment and single pipe nozzle, and (b) of Fig. 2 is the front view of Fig. 2 (a).(a) and (b) of Fig. 2 represents that the cleaning fluid to horizontal substrate surface based on single pipe nozzle provides.There is provided the single pipe nozzle 41 of nozzle above substrate W as cleaning fluid, discharge flushing liquor L from the outside of the upper space of substrate W towards the surface (upper surface) of substrate W.That is, the surface of single pipe nozzle 41 couples of substrate W provides flushing liquor L from oblique upper.Flushing liquor L can be ultra-pure water (DIW), also can be the function water such as hydrogen water.
The flushing liquor L that the position of single pipe nozzle 41, discharge direction, bore and flow velocity are designed to discharge from single pipe nozzle 41 meets the following conditions.First, as shown in (a) of Fig. 2, be not set to the center O of substrate W from the landing positions A on the surface to substrate W of the flushing liquor of single pipe nozzle 41 discharge, but be set to the position only leaving distance Ra from the center O of substrate W.Under overlooking, to make the center O of substrate W the mode be positioned on the line that single pipe nozzle 41 and landing positions A are linked up determine single pipe nozzle 41 towards.That is, under overlooking, single pipe nozzle 41 discharges flushing liquor L towards the center O of substrate W, but its landing positions A is the position nearby only leaving distance Ra from the center O of substrate W.
As shown in (b) of Fig. 2, in main looking, to discharge and land are set as about 30 degree in angle (incidence angle) α between the liquid stream La and the surface of substrate W on the surface of substrate W from single pipe nozzle 41.This incidence angle α is not limited to 30 degree, but preferably less than 45 degree.Like this, because single pipe nozzle 41 provides flushing liquor from oblique upper to the surface of substrate W, so the liquid stream La of flushing liquor L has the flowing in the direction of the in-plane along substrate W, specifically have towards the fluidly land in the O direction, center of substrate W in the surface of substrate W.When like this, flushing liquor L, by the inertia of the flowing in the O direction, center towards substrate W of this liquid stream La, also flows along the direction towards the center O of substrate W after land.
Because substrate W rotates as described above, so land are subject to the centrifugal force that produced by this rotation and towards the flows outside of substrate W in the flushing liquor L on the surface of substrate W, as shown in Figure 2, in the present embodiment, because land are near the center O of substrate W, so in the position of so close center O, larger centrifugal force can not be produced, in addition, flow towards center O owing to having existed before land, so by this inertia, flushing liquor L is formed in and overlooks lower liquid bundle (liquidus) Lb to linearly advancing to consistent direction with the provider of single pipe nozzle 41 and flow on the surface of substrate W.Consequently, the flushing liquor L of land in the surface of substrate W is by the center O of substrate W.After flushing liquor L is by the center O of substrate W, the provider of single pipe nozzle 41 to inertia force die down gradually, along with towards periphery, centrifugal force becomes large, so the mode expanded gradually with the width towards periphery becomes the liquid stream Lc of perimembranous flowing toward the outside along the direction of rotation of substrate with describing curve, finally discharge from the peripheral part of substrate W.
The variation of flushing liquor L as described above on the surface of substrate W except based on except the position of single pipe nozzle 41, discharge direction, bore, flow velocity (bore × flow velocity is flow), landing positions, also based on surface characteristic (hydrophily or hydrophobicity), the rotary speed (size of centrifugal force) of substrate W.Preferred landing positions more leaves from the center O of substrate W, and the composition parallel with the surface of substrate W of liquid stream La is larger, therefore preferably reduces incidence angle α.In addition, when the rotary speed of substrate W is too fast, the inertia force in liquid stream Lb is less than centrifugal force and causes liquid stream Lb not by the center O of substrate, so preferably excessively do not rotate substrate W rapidly, preferred rotary speed is 1500rpm, is more preferably below 1000rpm.
In addition, under the surface of substrate W is hydrophobic situation, preferably makes landing positions near center O (reducing Ra), and incident angle is reduced.The water-wetness on the surface of substrate W is set to make contact angle be 0 ~ 70 degree.In addition, when the bore of single pipe nozzle 41 is 1 ~ 5mm, flow is set to 500 ~ 2000ml/min, and when the bore of single pipe nozzle 41 is 5 ~ 10mm, flow is set to more than 2000ml/min.In addition, when landing positions A is excessive apart from the distance Ra of the center O of substrate W, as described above, in order to make the liquid stream after land just must increase its flow velocity by the center O of substrate W, so preferably Ra is set to less than 1/3rd of radius R due to inertia force.
As described above, cleaning device according to the present embodiment, surface from from single pipe nozzle 41 to substrate W provides flushing liquor L, but not discharge from the top of substrate W with the center O of larger incidence angle (such as 90 degree) to substrate W, but from oblique upper with less incidence angle, towards O direction, center under overlooking, discharge in the mode nearby of land in center O, flushing liquor L after land flows in the mode of the center O by substrate W, so also carry out liquid displacement rapidly at the center O of the less substrate W of centrifugal force, flushing liquor L is prevented to be deposited on the central part of substrate W.In addition, when the surface of substrate W is the material layer of the softnesses such as copper, compared with the situation that incidence angle is larger, the damage suffered by surface can also be reduced.
(the 2nd embodiment)
(a) of Fig. 3 is the top view of the position relationship representing substrate in the cleaning device of the 2nd embodiment and single pipe nozzle and atomizing nozzle, and (b) of Fig. 3 is the front view of Fig. 3 (a).(a) and (b) of Fig. 3 represents that the cleaning fluid to horizontal substrate surface based on single pipe nozzle and atomizing nozzle provides.The single pipe nozzle 41 of nozzle is provided to be the structure identical with the 1st embodiment as cleaning fluid.In the present embodiment, the 1st embodiment is added further there is atomizing nozzle 42 to be used as cleaning fluid to provide nozzle.The discharge of the flushing liquor L1 carried out based on single pipe nozzle 41 is carried out with the spraying of the flushing liquor L2 carried out based on atomizing nozzle 42 simultaneously.
As shown in (b) of Fig. 3, atomizing nozzle 42 is above substrate W, and spray from the outside of the upper space of substrate W towards the surface (upper surface) of substrate W flushing liquor L2.That is, atomizing nozzle 42 provides flushing liquor L2 from the surface of oblique direction substrate W.Therefore, the flushing liquor La2 sprayed from atomizing nozzle 42 is sprayed in be summit with atomizing nozzle 42 coniform with expanding, and on the surface of substrate W, land are in the land region Lb2 of ellipse.
This land region Lb2 extends to center O from the periphery of substrate W, and is positioned at the upstream of the direction of rotation of substrate W compared with the landing positions of the flushing liquor L1 discharged with single pipe nozzle 41.In addition at this, using certain reference position as benchmark, the upstream/downstream of the direction of rotation of substrate W refer to from reference position along the direction of rotation of substrate W reverse/rotate forward position before 180 degree, when the example of Fig. 3, landing positions due to the flushing liquor L1 as reference position is positioned at the right side of the center O of substrate W, so the first half of the substrate W of (a) of Fig. 3 is the upstream of the landing positions from the flushing liquor L1 as reference position, the latter half of the substrate W of (a) of Fig. 3 is the downstream of the landing positions from the flushing liquor L1 as reference position.
As shown in (a) of Fig. 3, the spray direction of atomizing nozzle 42 (spraying and the direction of the center line of the cone shape flushing liquor La2 of land before substrate W from atomizing nozzle 42) 121 under overlooking roughly towards the center O of substrate W.As shown in (b) of Fig. 3, this spray direction 121 is larger than the incidence angle α of single pipe nozzle 41 with surperficial angulation (incidence angle) β of substrate W under main looking, and is about 45 degree.Due to small and lighter by the particle of flushing liquor La2 of spraying, so when incidence angle is lower relative to the surface of the substrate W of High Rotation Speed, flushing liquor La2 is flicked on the surface of substrate W or near surface, land rate is caused to reduce and provide efficiency to decline, so preferably spray direction 121 is comparatively large, also can be 90 degree.
As in the present embodiment, be able to from experiment it is clear that, in the flushing cleaning of cleaning device, when to carry out simultaneously based on single pipe nozzle 41 flushing liquor L1 provide and the providing of flushing liquor L2 based on atomizing nozzle 42 time, cleaning degree improves.Namely, central part about substrate W passes through the effect of the flushing liquor L1 based on single pipe nozzle 41 illustrated in the 1st embodiment, about periphery in the outer part compared with the central part of substrate W by the effect based on the flushing liquor L2 of atomizing nozzle 42, central part on the surface of substrate W and periphery all promote the flowing of flushing liquor, thus improve cleaning degree.Therefore, the land region La2 of atomizing nozzle 42 need not arrive the center O to substrate W.In addition, atomizing nozzle 42 is not limited to spray flushing liquor coniformly, also can be flushing liquor of fan spraying.
(the 3rd embodiment)
(a) of Fig. 4 is the top view of the position relationship representing substrate in the cleaning device of the 3rd embodiment and two single pipe nozzle, and (b) of Fig. 4 is the front view of Fig. 4 (a).(a) and (b) of Fig. 4 represents that the cleaning fluid to horizontal substrate surface based on two single pipe nozzle provides.1st single pipe nozzle 41 is formed identically with the 1st embodiment.In the present embodiment, also additional relative to the 1st embodiment have the 2nd single pipe nozzle 43.Discharge based on the flushing liquor L1 of single pipe nozzle 41 is carried out with the discharge of the flushing liquor L3 based on single pipe nozzle 43 simultaneously.As shown in (b) of Fig. 4, single pipe nozzle 43, above substrate W, discharges flushing liquor L3 from the outside of the upper space of substrate W towards the surface (upper surface) of substrate W.That is, single pipe nozzle 43 provides flushing liquor L3 from the surface of oblique direction substrate W.
The patten's design that the position of single pipe nozzle 43, discharge direction, bore and flow velocity meet the following conditions with the flushing liquor L3 discharged from single pipe nozzle 43.As shown in (a) of Fig. 4, single pipe nozzle 43, under overlooking, is located at the opposition side at the center of substrate W relative to single pipe nozzle 41.The flushing liquor of discharging from single pipe nozzle 43 is set in the downstream of the landing positions A of single pipe nozzle 41 to the landing positions B on the surface of substrate W.Thus, as shown in (a) of Fig. 4, from single pipe nozzle 43 discharge flushing liquor L3 land behind the surface of substrate W, do not mix with the flushing liquor L1 of single pipe nozzle 41, and flow with stretching towards periphery on the surface of substrate W as liquid stream Lb3 in the downstream of landing positions A.
Fig. 5 is the enlarged drawing of the vicinity of the center O of substrate W in Fig. 4 (a).As shown in (a) of Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, landing positions B, from single pipe nozzle 43, has been positioned beyond the position of the center O of substrate W, for only leaving the position of distance Rb from the center O of substrate W.Landing positions B (center) sets longer apart from the distance Ra of the center O of substrate W than landing positions A (center) apart from the distance Rb of the center O of substrate W.But, when distance Rb is elongated, can be narrowed by the scope of cleaning from the flushing liquor L3 of single pipe nozzle 43, so distance Rb is set to less than 1/4th of the radius R of substrate W.
In addition, about the flushing liquor L3 discharged from single pipe nozzle 43, the surface falling behind in substrate W is not needed linearly to flow.Therefore, about the flushing liquor L3 discharged from single pipe nozzle 43, to set its condition such as bore, flow velocity followed by the mode of centrifugal force Zhou Liudong toward the outside after land.But, the point that the surface about the substrate W when incidence angle is larger sustains damage, identical with the situation of single pipe nozzle 41, so about single pipe nozzle 43, also wish that its incidence angle is less.In the example in fig. 4, the incidence angle of single pipe nozzle 43 is also set to about 30 degree identically with single pipe nozzle 41.
As in the present embodiment, be able to from experiment it is clear that, in the flushing cleaning of cleaning device, when to carry out the providing of flushing liquor L1, L3 based on two single pipe nozzle 41, single pipe nozzle 43 simultaneously, cleaning degree improves.Namely, central part about substrate W passes through the effect of the flushing liquor L1 based on single pipe nozzle 41 illustrated in the 1st embodiment, about periphery in the outer part compared with the central part of substrate W by the effect based on the flushing liquor L3 of single pipe nozzle 43, central part on the surface of substrate W and periphery all promote the flowing of flushing liquor, thus cleaning degree improves.
(the 4th embodiment)
(a) of Fig. 6 is the top view of the position relationship representing substrate in the cleaning device of the 4th embodiment and atomizing nozzle, and (b) of Fig. 6 is the front view of Fig. 6 (a).(a) and (b) of Fig. 6 represents that the cleaning fluid to horizontal substrate surface based on atomizing nozzle provides.As shown in (a) and (b) of Fig. 6, atomizing nozzle 44 is above substrate W, and spray from the outside of the upper space of substrate W towards the surface (upper surface) of substrate W flushing liquor L4.That is, atomizing nozzle 44 provides flushing liquor L4 relative to the surface of substrate W from oblique upper.Flushing liquor La4 is sprayed from the atomizing nozzle 44 of present embodiment in fan-shaped with expanding, atomizing nozzle 44 is asymmetric fan-shaped atomizing nozzles, and this is become maximum direction from by the off-centring of flushing liquor La4 of spraying by flow (spray amount) in the flushing liquor La4 that sprays.
Fig. 7 is the figure representing the position of flushing liquor La4 fan expanded in atomizing nozzle 44 and the relation of flow.Common atomizing nozzle 44 is maximum at the center flow of the flushing liquor fan expanded, more to the symmetrical distribution that two edge flows are fewer, but the flushing liquor L4 sprayed from the atomizing nozzle 44 of present embodiment as shown in Figure 7, be maximum at the edge side flow of the flushing liquor La4 fan expanded, more to the unbalanced fan distribution that the edge flow of opposition side is fewer.
In the present embodiment, flow be maximum direction (direction that spray amount is maximum) 141 in the direction overlooking the lower center O near substrate W, and with land region Lb4 from the center of substrate W until the mode of periphery sets position and the angle of atomizing nozzle 44.Specifically, the direction 141 that spray amount is maximum under overlooking towards the center O of substrate W.In addition, as shown in (a) of Fig. 6, in the Lb4 of land region, include the center O of substrate W.Consequently, maximum at the center O flow (land amount) of land region Lb4, substrate W, more fewer to the edge flow (land amount) of substrate W.In addition, diagram is omitted about the flushing liquor L4 of land behind the surface of substrate W in (a) and (b) of Fig. 6.
If suppose the maximum direction 141 of spray amount under overlooking towards the center O of substrate W but land region Lb4 is excessively far away apart from the center O of substrate W, then as illustrated in above-mentioned background technology, the flushing liquor L4 that will be flowed towards the center O of substrate W by inertia force after land and will being collided, at the mobility step-down of this partial flushing liquid L4 by the flushing liquor L4 of the outside Zhou Liudong of centrifugal force near the center O of substrate W.On the other hand, about the atomizing nozzle 44 of present embodiment, not only by direction 141 maximum for spray amount center O towards substrate W under overlooking, and as described above, spray from oblique upper in the mode of the center O comprising substrate W the Lb4 of land region relative to the surface of substrate W, so the flushing liquor L4 of land is directly flowed to the direction left from center O by inertia force near the center O of substrate W, by centrifugal force Zhou Liudong toward the outside after leaving from center O, thus the collision of flushing liquor L4 as described above can not be produced, mobility does not also reduce.
Fig. 8 is the top view of the position relationship of substrate in the cleaning device of the variation representing the 4th embodiment and atomizing nozzle.In this embodiment, two asymmetric fan-shaped atomizing nozzles as described above are provided with.That is, cleaning device is except above-mentioned atomizing nozzle 44, also has mutually isostructural atomizing nozzle 45, utilizes this two atomizing nozzles 44,45 simultaneously.Two atomizing nozzles 44,45 be set as the maximum direction 141,151 of spray amount overlook lower to about 90 degree.By this variation, each atomizing nozzle 44,45 plays a role identically with the atomizing nozzle 44 of Fig. 6, can obtain effect same as described above.In addition, the angle between the direction 141,151 that the spray amount of atomizing nozzle 44,45 is maximum is not limited to 90 degree.

These two atomizing nozzles 62,64 are the asymmetric fan-shaped atomizing nozzle illustrated in the 4th embodiment, its position, injection direction etc. and the atomizing nozzle 44 illustrated in the variation (Fig. 8) of the 4th embodiment, 45 identical.That is, the direction 621,641 that its spray amount is maximum under overlooking towards the center O of substrate W.Angle between the direction 621,641 that this spray amount is maximum is also set to about 90 degree, but is not limited thereto.The land region of atomizing nozzle 62,64 is the scopes from the cleaning area 521 near the center O of substrate W to the periphery of substrate W.
The single pipe nozzle 61 of flushing liquor and atomizing nozzle 62 is provided to provide cleaning fluid with the upstream side provided to the direction of rotation of substrate W compared with the single pipe nozzle 63 of liquid and atomizing nozzle 64.The rolling that this flushing liquor and liquid are all provided to substrate W is involved in side region, thus move to cleaning area 521 the latter half region substrate W surface on, become the state that liquid mixes with flushing liquor.
(the 6th embodiment)
Before explanation the 6th embodiment, the problem of the prior art solved with the cleaning device of the 6th embodiment is described.Figure 11 is the top view for illustration of each region on substrate.As shown in figure 11, by the pivot O by substrate W wand with the rotating shaft O of top rolling cleaning part 52 rorthogonal straight line is set to X-axis, by the rotating shaft O along top rolling cleaning part 52 rstraight line be set to Y-axis.Top rolling cleaning part 52 main depending under be rotated in a clockwise direction (rotation), substrate W is rotated in a clockwise direction under overlooking.
Clip top rolling cleaning part 52, namely clip Y-axis and the surface of substrate W is divided into two region R to the left and right i, R o.In Figure 11 that top rolling cleaning part 52 deasil rotates, the single side regions on right side is defined as rolling and is involved in side region R i, being defined as the single side regions in left side rolls releases side region R o.That is, rolling is involved in side region R ibe the single side regions (being right side in Figure 11) cleaning fluid is involved in by the rotation of top rolling cleaning part 52, roll and release side region R oit is the single side regions (being left side in fig. 11) cleaning fluid released by the rotation of top rolling cleaning part 52.
And, rolling is involved in side region R iside region R is released with rolling orespectively using X-axis as border, be divided into upstream side region W relative to the direction of rotation of substrate W uwith downstream side region W d.Side region R is involved in rolling iin, by the upstream side region W above X-axis ibe defined as rolling and be involved in upstream side region R i-W u, by the downstream side region W below X-axis dbe defined as rolling and be involved in downstream side region R i-W d.In the same manner, side region R is released in rolling oin, by the upstream side region W below X-axis ubeing defined as rolls releases upstream side region R o-W u, by the downstream side region W above X-axis dbeing defined as rolls releases downstream side region R o-W d.
Figure 12 is the top view of existing rolling cleaning device, and Figure 13 is the A-A ' sectional view of Figure 12, and Figure 14 is the partial enlarged drawing of Figure 13, and Figure 15 is the B-B ' sectional view of Figure 12.In addition, in Figure 13,14, the diagram of atomizing nozzle 71,74 is omitted.As shown in figure 12, rolling cleaning device has four atomizing nozzles 71 ~ 74.Atomizing nozzle 71 ~ 74 is the nozzle of coniform ground spray rinse.
In addition, atomizing nozzle 71 ~ 74 is all involved in side region to the rolling of substrate W provides cleaning fluid.Atomizing nozzle 71,74 is sprayed as the flushing liquor of cleaning fluid, and atomizing nozzle 72,73 is sprayed as the liquid of cleaning fluid.Arrive to top rolling cleaning part 52 separately from the land region of the flushing liquor of atomizing nozzle 71,74 spraying, a part of flushing liquor is directly vaporific is sprayed onto top rolling member 52.
As shown in FIG. 12 and 13, in reverse (counter) cleaning area 521c, because top rolling cleaning part 52 and the moving direction of substrate W are rightabout, so both relative moving speeds (sliding speed) are larger.Therefore, the physical cleaning of reverse cleaning region 521c uprises.
On the other hand, the rolling of side region is provided to release downstream side region R as on-liquid o-W dliquid be the liquid that (forward) cleaning area 521f uses in the brushing based on top rolling cleaning part 52 is cleaned before the downside of cleaning area 521 before half rotates, and, because the periphery of the large multidirectional substrate W of liquid used in the brushing based on top rolling cleaning part 52 is cleaned at front cleaning area 521f is discharged, so become considerably less at reverse cleaning region 521c.In addition, the rolling of side region is being supplied to be involved in upstream side region R as liquid carrying i-W u, the cleaning fluid be provided near the 521c of reverse cleaning region is carried to the direction away from reverse cleaning region 521c by the rotation of substrate W, and is not supplied to reverse cleaning region 521c.
And be formed with multiple less projection (in fig. 14, illustrate only three projection 522a ~ 522c) on the surface of top rolling cleaning part 52, the rolling of top rolling cleaning part 52 is involved in side region R ithe projection 522a of side as described above, is provided directly flushing liquor, is rinsed immersion stain, or is provided flushing liquor by the inside from top rolling cleaning part 52, is rinsed immersion stain.The projection 522a flooded when this flushing liquor is by the rotation of top rolling cleaning part 52, and when arriving reverse cleaning region 521c, as projection 522b, by substrate W conquassation, the flushing liquor of dipping is involved in side region R to rolling iand the release side region R that rolls ospill.
Like this, downstream side region R is released from rolling o-W dto be transferred by the rotation of substrate W and a small amount of cleaning fluid that will enter reverse cleaning region 521c is also extruded by this flushing liquor spilt, thus to be difficult to be provided to reverse cleaning region 521c.Therefore, do not provide the fresh cleaning fluid of enough amounts to reverse cleaning region 521c, liquid cleaning step-down.
On the other hand, as shown in figure 15, in forward cleaning area 521f, because the moving direction of top rolling cleaning part 52 with substrate W becomes forward, so both relative moving speeds (sliding speed) diminish.Therefore, the physical cleaning step-down of forward cleaning area 521f.On the other hand, the rolling of side region is being supplied to be involved in downstream side region R as liquid carrying i-W din, near forward cleaning area 521f, provide fresh cleaning fluid fully by atomizing nozzle 73, in addition, the cleaning fluid be provided near forward cleaning area 521f is provided to forward cleaning area 521f by the rotation of substrate W.Therefore, the liquid cleaning of forward cleaning area 521c uprises.
As described above, in existing rolling cleaning device, the physical cleaning of reverse cleaning region 521c is higher, but liquid cleaning is lower, and the liquid cleaning of forward cleaning area 521f is higher, but physical cleaning is lower.Therefore, object is in the present embodiment, the liquid cleaning in the 521c of reverse cleaning region is improved.
Figure 16 is the top view of the cleaning device represented in the 6th embodiment of the present invention.In the present embodiment, only the configuration of single pipe nozzle 63 is different from the 5th embodiment, and other structure is identical with the 5th embodiment.The single pipe nozzle 63 of discharging liquid is involved in side region to the rolling of substrate W identically with above-mentioned 5th embodiment provides liquid, and the discharge direction 631 of single pipe nozzle 63 is 90 degree with bearing of trend (rotating shaft) angulation of top rolling cleaning part 52 under overlooking.This angle is not limited to 90 degree, preferably in the scope of 90 degree ± 30 degree.That is, in the present embodiment, the direction 641 that the discharge direction of single pipe nozzle 63 of discharge liquid is maximum with the spray amount of the atomizing nozzle 64 of spray liquor is not roughly the same direction under overlooking.

Spraying is also provided with as the atomizing nozzle 82 of the flushing liquor of cleaning fluid and the spraying atomizing nozzle 84 as the liquid of cleaning fluid in cleaning device.These atomizing nozzles 82,84 also provide liquid to the upstream side of the direction of rotation of substrate W compared with the motion track of form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58.The each leisure of atomizing nozzle 82,84 is overlooked down and is positioned at and single pipe nozzle 81,83 roughly the same positions, with shown in (b) of such as Fig. 3 in the same manner, the incidence angle of atomizing nozzle 82,84 is larger than the incidence angle of single pipe nozzle 81,83, and atomizing nozzle 82,84 is from more top spray rinse.
These two atomizing nozzles 82,84 are the asymmetric fan-shaped atomizing nozzle illustrated in the 4th embodiment, and its position, injection direction etc. are identical with the atomizing nozzle 44,45 illustrated in the variation (Fig. 8) of the 4th embodiment.That is, the direction 821,841 that its spray amount is maximum under overlooking towards the center O of substrate W.Angle between the direction 821,841 that this spray amount is maximum is also about 30 degree.The land region of atomizing nozzle 82,84 is the scopes from the cleaning area 521 near the center O of substrate W to the periphery of substrate W.
The single pipe nozzle 81 of flushing liquor and atomizing nozzle 82 is provided to provide cleaning fluid with the upstream side provided to the direction of rotation of substrate W compared with the single pipe nozzle 83 of liquid and atomizing nozzle 84.Especially, the land region of the atomizing nozzle 84 of spray liquor is set to the motion track along form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, and this motion track tight before the position of (upstream).All be provided to the surface of substrate W by this flushing liquor and liquid, on the surface of the substrate W of the motion track by form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, become the state that liquid mixes with flushing liquor.In addition, in the downstream of the direction of rotation of the substrate W compared with the motion track of form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, the cleaning fluid that have passed the motion track of form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, by the centrifugal force based on the rotation of substrate W, is discharged from the periphery of substrate W.
Cleaning device according to the present embodiment, can provide the fresh cleaning fluid of enough amounts to the position of carrying out brushing cleaning by form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58.
(the 10th embodiment)
Figure 26 is the top view of the cleaning device in the 10th embodiment of the present invention.In the present embodiment, single pipe nozzle 81,83 and the configuration of atomizing nozzle 82 only under overlooking different from the 9th embodiment, other structure is identical with the 9th embodiment.In the present embodiment, single pipe nozzle 81,83 is located at the upstream side of the direction of rotation of substrate W compared with atomizing nozzle 82,84.Single pipe nozzle 81,83 is identical with the 9th embodiment, its discharge direction 811,831 under overlooking towards the center O of substrate W.In addition, the direction 821 that the spray amount of atomizing nozzle 82 is maximum under overlooking towards the center O of substrate W.
In the present embodiment, when comparing with the 9th embodiment, angle between the discharge direction 811,831 of single pipe nozzle 81,83, and angle between the maximum direction 821,841 of the spray amount of atomizing nozzle 82,84 is less than the situation of the 9th embodiment separately.Therefore, can avoid or reduce the cleaning fluid of discharging from single pipe nozzle 81,83 and relatively hinder the flowing of cleaning fluid on the surface of substrate W, can avoid or reduce the cleaning fluid of spraying from atomizing nozzle 82,84 in the same manner and relatively hinder the flowing of cleaning fluid on the surface of substrate W.
In addition, in the 9th and the 10th embodiment, upstream side to the direction of rotation of the substrate W compared with form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 provides cleaning fluid, but is not limited thereto, and also can provide cleaning fluid to the downstream of the direction of rotation of the substrate W compared with form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58.
(the 11st embodiment)
Figure 27 is the top view of the cleaning device in the 11st embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 28 is the figure of the length direction of view 57 from the side.In the cleaning device of present embodiment, form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 is supported on the leading section of arm 57.Form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 around the central shaft rotation vertical with substrate W, and is contacted with the upper surface slide of substrate W while mobile by the rotation of arm 57 in the scope of center to the periphery of substrate W, cleans the upper surface of substrate W thus.On the outside of the periphery of substrate W, be provided with using lower component with the configuration identical with the 9th embodiment (with reference to Figure 25): discharge the single pipe nozzle 81 as the flushing liquor of cleaning fluid; Spray as the atomizing nozzle 82 of the flushing liquor of cleaning fluid; Spray as the atomizing nozzle 84 of the liquid of cleaning fluid.
In the present embodiment, be also provided with on arm 57 for spraying as the atomizing nozzle 85 of the liquid of cleaning fluid.Like this, arm 57 will be fixed on, the cleaning fluid swung by the rotation of arm 57 provide nozzle to be called on arm, (On Arm) cleaning fluid provides nozzle.On arm, atomizing nozzle 85 is located near form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58.Specifically, atomizing nozzle 85 is adjacent to arrange at the upstream side of the rotation of substrate W and form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 relative to form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58.
As shown in figure 28, the spray direction of atomizing nozzle 85 tilts a little towards form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58.Figure 29 is the figure representing the land region of spraying based on atomizing nozzle 85.As shown in figure 29, atomizing nozzle 85 is nozzles of fan shape ground spray rinse, and as described above, because its spray direction tilts a little towards form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, so the cleaning fluid of spraying from atomizing nozzle 85 expands along the radial direction of form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, and land are between atomizing nozzle 85 and form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58.
There is provided nozzle as cleaning fluid on arm, also can adopt single pipe nozzle, but when single pipe nozzle, when discharging cleaning fluid towards form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, cleaning fluid becomes block, provides partly relative to form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58.When like this, cleaning fluid is flicked by form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, causes the cleaning fluid of the lower surface (cleaning surface) of the form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 be provided to as cleaning position to tail off.In contrast to this, when use atomizing nozzle 85 provides nozzle as the cleaning fluid arranged obliquely to the direction towards form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 near form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, because cleaning fluid is provided in the wider scope of the surrounding of form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, so such problem alleviates.
In addition, in the present embodiment, atomizing nozzle 85 on arm is located at the upstream side of the direction of rotation of substrate W relative to form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, towards form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 spray rinse, thus the fresh cleaning fluid of land firm by spraying can be provided to form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 and substrate W slidingly contact position (cleaning position).
In addition, in the present embodiment, not only provide nozzle from cleaning fluid arm, also the region comprising the center of substrate W from the lateral of substrate W provides cleaning fluid, this is to prevent following situation: when the atomizing nozzle 85 of form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 and integratedly movement is positioned at the outer circumferential side of substrate W, by means of only atomizing nozzle 85 on arm, cleaning fluid is not provided to the central part of substrate W and the upper surface of substrate W can be caused dry.Therefore, form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 arranges washer jet on arm, if provide cleaning fluid to the central part of substrate W all the time by least one washer jet be fixedly installed, then can prevent drying to the whole face of substrate W, be therefore preferred.
In addition, both can nozzle be provided to provide liquid from cleaning fluid arm like that by embodiment described above, provide flushing liquor and/or liquid from the outside of substrate W, and also can provide flushing liquor from washer jet arm, provide liquid and/or flushing liquor from the outside of substrate W.In addition, the providing of cleaning fluid from the outside of substrate W can, based on atomizing nozzle, can, based on single pipe nozzle, can also be also its both sides as embodiment described above.
In addition, preferred form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 rotates in the side providing nozzle to provide cleaning fluid by cleaning fluid on arm (upstream side of the direction of rotation of substrate W) mode towards the outside movement of the radial direction of substrate, that is, towards (situation of Figure 28 be counterclockwise) rotate identical with substrate W of lower edge is overlooked.When for this direction of rotation, by atomizing nozzle 85 from the liquid that the upstream side of form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 provides towards form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58, easily discharged towards substrate W periphery by the rotation of form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58 by the cleaning fluid flicked in the side of form of a stroke or a combination of strokes cleaning part 58.
(the 12nd embodiment)
Figure 30 is the top view of the cleaning device in the 12nd embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 31 is the partial enlarged drawing of Figure 30, and Figure 32 is the figure of the length direction of view 57 from the side.In the cleaning device of present embodiment, be supported with two-fluid in the leading section of arm 57 and spray (2FJ) nozzle 59.In addition, be also provided with in the present embodiment and spray as atomizing nozzle 86 on the arm of the liquid of cleaning fluid to arm 57.
In addition, the single pipe nozzle 81 of discharging as the flushing liquor of cleaning fluid is provided with in the outside of substrate W.Identically with above-mentioned embodiment, with flushing liquor land in the center of substrate W nearby, the flushing liquor of land discharges flushing liquor towards the mode of the center flow of substrate W to single pipe nozzle 81.
As shown in Figure 31 is clear and definite, atomizing nozzle 86 is located near 2FJ nozzle 59, near the center of substrate W compared with 2FJ nozzle 59, and is located at the upstream side of the direction of rotation of substrate W compared with 2FJ nozzle 59.Atomizing nozzle 86 is conical spray pattern (conespray) nozzles, coniform ground spray liquor.From atomizing nozzle 86 spray liquid relative to the position land (liquid) immediately below 2FJ nozzle 59 in the upstream side of the rotation relative to substrate W.
As shown in figure 32, atomizing nozzle 86 is arranged a little obliquely towards 2FJ nozzle 59.As described above, be located at the central side of substrate W due to atomizing nozzle 86 relative to 2FJ nozzle 59 and be located at the upstream side of the rotation relative to substrate W, so from atomizing nozzle 86 towards the outside of substrate W, and the downstream spray liquor of rotation relative to substrate W.
The meaning of liquid is provided to be described about arranging atomizing nozzle 86 near 2FJ nozzle 59.A meaning is: provide fresh liquid all the time by near the position of colliding to injection stream and the substrate W from 2FJ nozzle 59, thus the particle being risen (lift up) by liquid from the surface of substrate W is promptly removed by the flowing of injection stream, or by the physical action of injection stream, the particle departed from from substrate W surface can not be again attached to substrate W by the effect of liquid be removed.A meaning is also had to be the effect preventing substrate W charged.By liquid and gas and vapor permeation being generated injection stream in 2FJ nozzle 59, and blow to the surface of substrate W and clean the surface of substrate W, if but now use ultra-pure water (DIW) as liquid, then injection stream and substrate W surface collision and cause the surface of substrate W charged.Therefore, in order to avoid so charged, in prior art, carbon dioxide water is employed as the liquid for generating injection stream.But this carbon dioxide water is compared with ultra-pure water, and cost is high.
In the present embodiment, atomizing nozzle 86 is set near 2FJ nozzle 59, near the cleaning position that injection stream and substrate surface are collided, provides liquid.Liquid itself has electric conductivity, when adopting such liquid, even if the liquid sprayed from 2FJ nozzle 59 does not adopt carbon dioxide water and adopts the ultra-pure water (DIW) that such as cost compare is cheap, also can reduce or prevent that (because liquid has electric conductivity) substrate W's is charged.
In addition, in the present embodiment, atomizing nozzle 86 on arm is sprayed a little obliquely to the direction towards the cleaning position based on 2FJ nozzle 59, so the cleaning position also can collided to injection stream and substrate W provides liquid fully due to identical with the 11st embodiment.In addition, in the present embodiment, because atomizing nozzle 86 also tilts towards the outside of the radial direction of substrate W, so the liquid of spraying from atomizing nozzle 86 can be discharged towards the outer rim of substrate W swimmingly by the centrifugal force based on the rotation of substrate W.
Figure 33 is the top view of the cleaning device in the variation of the 12nd embodiment.In this variation, in the outside of substrate W, single pipe nozzle is not set, and is provided with atomizing nozzle 71.This atomizing nozzle 71 towards the center spraying flushing liquor of substrate W, and land region be set to from the center of substrate W nearby to center, the flushing liquor of land is towards the center flow of substrate W.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, at the arranged outside single pipe nozzle 81 of substrate W, in this variation, at the arranged outside atomizing nozzle 71 of substrate W, but because the liquid sprayed from 2FJ nozzle 59 expands from eject position towards whole direction, so the liquid sprayed from 2FJ nozzle 59 when 2FJ nozzle 59 moves to the outer rim of substrate W also arrives the center of substrate W, even if not in the drying that the arranged outside cleaning fluid of substrate W provides nozzle also can prevent near the central authorities of substrate W.Therefore, in this case, the structure that nozzle is not provided at the arranged outside cleaning fluid of the periphery of substrate W separately outside atomizing nozzle 86 on arm can also be adopted.
