Description
技术领域technical field
本揭示涉及一种湿处理设备,特别是涉及一种单晶圆湿处理设备。The present disclosure relates to a wet processing equipment, in particular to a single wafer wet processing equipment.
背景技术Background technique
在半导体晶圆的工艺中,需要对半导体晶圆的元件设置面进行多道处理步骤,包含蚀刻、清洗等湿式处理程序。随着半导体晶圆的工艺复杂度增加,现已发展出一种单晶圆湿处理机台,其中采用一个旋转台对应多个液体回收模组的设计,使得单晶圆湿处理机台可对旋转台上的晶圆施加多种不同的化学液体,并且通过对应的回收模组收集所述化学液体。通过施加不同的化学液体可对半导体晶圆上的多种金属层或其他材料薄膜层进行清洗蚀刻。也就是说,在单晶圆湿处理机台中会使用多种不同的化学液体,这使得用于收集化学液体及其夹带的气液混合物的收集装置的功能要求变得格外严格。In the process of the semiconductor wafer, it is necessary to perform multiple processing steps on the component installation surface of the semiconductor wafer, including wet processing procedures such as etching and cleaning. As the process complexity of semiconductor wafers increases, a single-wafer wet processing machine has been developed, in which a rotary table is used to correspond to the design of multiple liquid recovery modules, so that the single-wafer wet processing machine can A variety of different chemical liquids are applied to the wafers on the rotary table, and the chemical liquids are collected by corresponding recycling modules. Various metal layers or thin film layers of other materials on semiconductor wafers can be cleaned and etched by applying different chemical liquids. That is, many different chemical liquids are used in a single-wafer wet processing tool, which makes the functional requirements of the collection device for collecting chemical liquids and their entrained gas-liquid mixtures extremely strict.
然而,现有的单晶圆湿处理机台是采用多个液体回收模组共同连接至一个气体回收装置的设计。也就是说,虽然现有的单晶圆湿处理机台可通过多个液体回收模组来对应收集不同的化学液体,却无法将不同的化学液体夹带的不同的气液混合物分别独立收集。上述单一个气体回收装置的设计会导致不同的气液混合物在气体回收装置内混杂在一起。由于不同的气液混合物含有(例如酸、碱、溶剂等)不同性质的药液,如果混杂在一起容易产生额外的化学反应,进而造成人员或机台的伤害,并且还会增加处理回收气体的困难度。再者,倘若混杂在一起的混合物回流到多个液体回收模组内部时,则会造成液体回收模组收集到的化学液体与混合物之间发生交叉污染的问题。However, the existing single-wafer wet processing machine adopts a design in which multiple liquid recovery modules are jointly connected to a gas recovery device. That is to say, although the existing single-wafer wet processing machine can collect different chemical liquids correspondingly through a plurality of liquid recovery modules, it cannot independently collect different gas-liquid mixtures entrained by different chemical liquids. The design of the single gas recovery unit described above can result in the mixing of different gas-liquid mixtures within the gas recovery unit. Since different gas-liquid mixtures contain chemical liquids with different properties (such as acids, bases, solvents, etc.), if they are mixed together, additional chemical reactions are likely to occur, thereby causing injury to personnel or machines, and will also increase the processing time of recovered gas. Difficulty. Furthermore, if the mixed mixture flows back into the multiple liquid recovery modules, the problem of cross-contamination between the chemical liquid collected by the liquid recovery modules and the mixture will occur.
有鉴于此,有必要提出一种单晶圆湿处理设备,以解决现有技术中存在的问题。In view of this, it is necessary to propose a single-wafer wet processing equipment to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

请参照图1,其显示本揭示的优选实施例的单晶圆湿处理设备1的立体示意图。单晶圆湿处理设备1包含旋转台10、液体供应装置(未显示于图中)、液体回收装置20、多个气体回收装置30、和升降装置40。在本实施例中气体回收装置30的数量为四个,惟本揭示不局限于此。旋转台10用于放置单一片晶圆(未显示于图中)。在本实施例中,旋转台10的顶部包含一真空吸盘,并且通过真空吸盘的施加的吸力,使得晶圆可被固定在旋转台10的顶部。旋转台10配置有驱动机构,用于驱使旋转台10绕轴旋转。在其他实施例中亦可采用其他的方式来将晶圆固定在旋转台上,例如采用夹持装置等。再者,液体供应装置设置在旋转台10上方,用于对晶圆施加多种工艺液体。具体来说,液体供应装置包含喷嘴和多条液体传输管线,其中喷嘴设置为与旋转台10的顶部对准,以及多条液体传输管线的一端与喷嘴连接,另一端分别连接至不同的工艺液体的供应端。藉此设计,可根据工艺需求来控制液体供应装置施加对应的工艺液体至旋转台10上的晶圆,以对晶圆进行蚀刻或清洗等作业。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which shows a schematic perspective view of a single-wafer
如图1所示,液体回收装置20环绕地设置在旋转台10的周围,用于收集从旋转台10上晶圆表面因离心力甩出的工艺液体,并且将所述工艺液体排出。多个气体回收装置30与液体回收装置20对应连接,用于将收集的气液混合物排出。本实施例的液体回收装置20与气体回收装置30的具体结构将于后详述。升降装置40与液体回收装置20连接,用于控制液体回收装置20沿着一垂直方向相对旋转台10升降移动。并且,由于多个气体回收装置30与液体回收装置20连接,故当液体回收装置20升降时,连带地多个气体回收装置30会一起上升或下降。As shown in FIG. 1 , the
请参照图1和图2,图2显示图1的单晶圆湿处理设备1的局部剖面放大图。液体回收装置20包含多个沿着垂直方向堆叠设置的回收环21~24。每一回收环21~24用于收集对应的其中一种工艺液体及其夹带的气液混合物。通过升降装置40的控制,使所述多个回收环21~24一起同步移动,如此可使指定的回收环21~24移动至与旋转台10对准,其中对准是指其中之一回收环21~24的液体接收口与旋转台10上的晶圆相邻,使得当液体供应装置施加工艺液体至旋转台10上的晶圆,且旋转台10旋转时,旋转台10上晶圆表面因离心力甩出的工艺液体可被相邻的其中之一回收环21~24收集。也就是说,本揭示的单晶圆湿处理设备1是一种具有移动式液体回收装置20的清洗蚀刻设备,它可使在旋转台10上的晶圆保持水平固定,不作上下移动。当进行单晶圆旋转清洗或蚀刻工艺时,根据执行的步骤控制指定的回收环移动至对准旋转台10,接着由晶圆上方的液体供应装置喷洒特定的工艺液体至晶圆表面,并由旋转台10带动晶圆旋转,以收集此特定的工艺液体及其夹带的气液混合物。Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 . FIG. 2 shows an enlarged partial cross-sectional view of the single-wafer

如图3所示,回收环21的分隔板205设置在回收环21的内部以将回收环21的内部空间分隔出一内环空间208和一外环空间209。内环空间208用于承接从液体接收口204进入的工艺液体及其夹带的气液混合物,并且通过分隔板205的阻挡可防止工艺液体从内环空间208流至外环空间209。分隔板205上形成有多个通孔2051,使得内环空间208内的气液混合物可通过所述多个通孔2051进入外环空间209。在本实施例中,分隔板205上形成有28个通孔2051,惟不局限于此。优选地,分隔板205的通孔2051的孔径约为5至10mm,以确保一方面能将工艺液体夹带的气液混合物从内环空间208充分地抽至外环空间209,另一方面还能将工艺液体阻隔在内环空间208中。As shown in FIG. 3 , the
如图3所示,回收环21的气体通道口206设置在外环壁203上,且气体通道口206与对应的气体回收装置30连接,如此回收环21收集到的气液混合物进入外环空间209之后可通过气体通道口206传送至气体回收装置30。回收环21的液体收集口207与内环空间208连通,用于让工艺液体从液体收集口207排出。具体来说,液体收集口207位于回收环21的水平位置的最低点,使得回收环21所收集的工艺液体因重力而流动到液体收集口207。并且,回收环21的液体收集口207与对应的回收管连接,进而将收集到的工艺液体排放或回收。举例来说,如图2所示,位在第二层的回收环22与单晶圆湿处理设备1内部的回收管50连接,并且回收环22收集的工艺液体是通过路径51排出。可选地,回收管50可与循环系统连接,以将处理后的工艺液体再次回送到单晶圆湿处理设备1的液体供应装置。优选地,液体收集口207的孔径约为10至15mm,以确保能让蚀刻后的杂质、收集的工艺液体或其形成的结晶通过。As shown in FIG. 3 , the
请参照图4,其显示图3的回收环21的零件爆炸图。分隔板205的板面平行于回收环21的堆叠方向。分隔板205的一侧安装在环形底板202的下沟槽2021内,以及分隔板205的另一侧安装在环形上盖201的上沟槽2011(参见图5)内。通过上述分隔板205的安装方式,可方便分隔板205的组装以及替换。再者,在本实施例中,回收环21的分隔板205是采用四片式结构,藉此设计,当其中一片分隔板205的通孔2051阻塞时,可只针对所述片分隔板205进行替换,而不需要将整组分隔板205全部换掉。在其他实施例中可以采用其他数量的分隔板,不局限于此。应当注意的是,分隔板205的多个通孔2051彼此是以相等或相近的间隔排列成一环状,以形成一环状抽气构造,进而确保回收环21的抽取气流是均匀的,可充分抽取清洗或蚀刻的工艺液体所夹带的气液混合物。并且,藉此环状抽气构造的设计,可避免在对晶圆进行蚀刻作业时,晶圆上的工艺液体被朝向单一方向的大气流影响而偏向某一边,造成晶圆的蚀刻不均匀。Please refer to FIG. 4 , which shows an exploded view of the parts of the
如图1和图2所示,气体回收装置30的数量与回收环21~24的数量相同,并且每一回收环21~24与一个气体回收装置30对应连接。藉此设计,可通过不同的气体回收装置30针对来自于不同回收环21~24的工艺气体独立进行抽气作业,以避免不同工艺液体夹带的不同气液混合物混杂在一起,进而产生额外的化学反应,造成单晶圆湿处理设备1或人员的伤害,并且还降低了处理回收气体的复杂度。再者,还可以避免混杂的废气回流至旋转台10或回收环21~24,进而造成晶圆或者是其他处理腔体的污染。As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the number of
请参照图5,其显示图1的单晶圆湿处理设备1的另一局部剖面放大图。图5是以位在第一层的回收环21和与其连接的气体回收装置30作为说明。应当理解的是,其余回收环22~24和其余气体回收装置30的结构与第一层的回收环21和气体回收装置30的结构大致相同。气体回收装置30对回收环21施加负压,使得回收环21和气体回收装置30的内部会产生如同路径61的气流。具体来说,回收环21收集到的气液混合物会从内环空间208通过分隔板205的通孔2051抽至外环空间209。并且,外环空间209中的气液混合物会通过外环壁203上的气体通道口206传送至气体回收装置30内部。Please refer to FIG. 5 , which shows another partial cross-sectional enlarged view of the single-wafer
如图5所示,气体回收装置30包含风箱31和排气管32。风箱31包含上表面301、下表面302、侧表面303、空腔304、第一连接口305、第二连接口306、和排液口307。风箱31的上表面301与下表面302相对设置,并且侧表面303位在上表面301与下表面302之间。上表面301、下表面302、和侧表面303互相连接而组成空腔304。风箱31的侧表面303形成有第一连接口305,上表面301形成有第二连接口306,以及下表面302形成有排液口307。风箱31的第一连接口305与回收环21的气体通道口206连接,使得回收环21内的气液混合物通过第一连接口305进入风箱31的空腔304内部。排气管32与风箱31的的第二连接口306连接,用于将收集的气液混合物排出。再者,当气液混合物通过风箱31时,部分的气体会凝结成液体。为了避免液体堆积在风箱31的空腔304中,通过位在风箱31的下表面302的排液口307的设置可将凝结液体沿着路径62通过排液口307排出,以保持风箱31内部的干净。As shown in FIG. 5 , the
此外,如图3所示,单晶圆湿处理设备1还包含多个水管路70,且每一气体回收装置30的风箱31与一个水管路70连接。又,每一气体回收装置30的风箱31还包含观视窗80。因此,当人员通过观视窗80看到风箱31内部有结晶或异物堆积时,可通过水管路70清洗所述风箱的内部。具体来说,通过水管路70将小量的洁净水传输至风箱31内部,使得结晶或异物沿着路径62(如图5所示)从风箱31的排液口307排出。In addition, as shown in FIG. 3 , the single-wafer
综上所述,本揭示通过设置与回收环的数量相同的气体回收装置,并且每一回收环与一个气体回收装置对应连接。藉此设计,可通过不同的气体回收装置对来自于不同回收环的工艺气体独立进行抽气作业,以避免不同工艺液体夹带的不同气液混合物混杂在一起,进而产生额外的化学反应,造成单晶圆湿处理设备或人员的伤害,并且还降低了处理回收气体的复杂度。再者,还可以避免混杂的废气回流至旋转台或回收环,进而造成晶圆或者是其他处理腔体的污染。To sum up, the present disclosure provides the same number of gas recovery devices as recovery rings, and each recovery ring is correspondingly connected to one gas recovery device. With this design, the process gas from different recovery rings can be independently pumped through different gas recovery devices, so as to avoid mixing of different gas-liquid mixtures entrained by different process liquids, thereby generating additional chemical reactions, resulting in single Injuries to wet wafer processing equipment or personnel, and also reduces the complexity of handling recovered gas. Furthermore, it is also possible to prevent the mixed exhaust gas from flowing back to the turntable or the recycling ring, thereby causing contamination of the wafer or other processing chambers.
