基板處理裝置Substrate processing device

本發明係關於一種對液晶顯示裝置(LCD,Liquid Crystal Display)用、電漿顯示器(PDP,Plasma Display Panel,電漿顯示器面板)用、有機發光二極體(OLED,Organic Light-Emitting Diode)用、場發射顯示器(FED,Field Emission Display)用、真空螢光顯示器(VFD,Vacuum Fluorescent Display)用、太陽電池板用等之玻璃基板、磁/光碟用之玻璃/陶瓷基板、半導體晶圓、電子裝置基板等各種基板噴出純水等清洗液、蝕刻液、顯影液、抗蝕剝離液等化學藥品等各種處理液而對基板進行濕式處理之基板處理裝置。The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device (LCD), a plasma display panel (PDP, a plasma display panel), and an organic light-emitting diode (OLED). , field emission display (FED, Field Emission Display), vacuum fluorescent display (VFD, Vacuum Fluorescent Display), glass substrate for solar panels, glass/ceramic substrates for magnetic/disc, semiconductor wafers, electronics A substrate processing apparatus that wets a substrate by ejecting various processing liquids such as a cleaning liquid such as pure water, an etching liquid, a developing solution, and a resist stripping liquid on various substrates such as a device substrate.

先前該種基板處理裝置已知有如下裝置,其一面藉由沿基板之搬送方向並排設置之搬送輥等以水平姿勢或相對於水平面而向與基板搬送方向正交之方向傾斜之姿勢於濕式處理室內搬送基板,一面自噴霧噴嘴呈淋浴狀地對基板之表面噴出處理液,藉此進行特定之基板處理者。於該種基板處理裝置中,根據處理之種類而自噴霧噴嘴對基板表面噴出純水等清洗液、蝕刻液、顯影液、抗蝕剝離液等化學藥品等各種處理液。In the above-described substrate processing apparatus, a device is known which is inclined in a horizontal posture or a horizontal plane with respect to a direction perpendicular to the substrate conveyance direction by a conveyance roller or the like arranged in parallel in the conveyance direction of the substrate. When the substrate is transported in the processing chamber, the processing liquid is ejected onto the surface of the substrate from the spray nozzle in a shower state, thereby performing specific substrate processing. In the substrate processing apparatus, various processing liquids such as a cleaning liquid such as pure water, an etching liquid, a developing solution, and a chemical such as a resist stripping liquid are discharged from the surface of the substrate from the spray nozzle depending on the type of the treatment.

而且,於該種基板處理裝置中,為將處理液均勻地供給至整個基板表面,而於與基板搬送方向交叉之方向等間距且互相平行地配置複數個噴霧噴嘴,自複數個噴嘴部將處理液噴出至基板之表面,且該噴霧噴嘴包括:噴霧管部,其於沿基板搬送方向之方向延伸;及複數個噴嘴部,其沿噴霧管部之長度方向相互接近地排成一列而設置。圖5係表示自先前之基板處理裝置中之噴嘴部100對基板W之表面102噴出處理液之情況之模式圖。Further, in the substrate processing apparatus, in order to uniformly supply the processing liquid to the entire substrate surface, a plurality of spray nozzles are disposed at equal intervals in the direction intersecting the substrate transport direction, and the plurality of nozzle portions are processed from the plurality of nozzle portions. The liquid is ejected onto the surface of the substrate, and the spray nozzle includes a spray tube portion extending in a direction along the substrate transport direction, and a plurality of nozzle portions arranged in a line in the longitudinal direction of the spray tube portion. Fig. 5 is a schematic view showing a state in which the processing liquid is ejected from the nozzle unit 100 in the substrate processing apparatus of the prior art to the surface 102 of the substrate W.

如圖5所示,於該種先前之基板處理裝置噴出處理液時,沿與圖式之平面成直角方向搬送之基板W之表面102上中央部附近,與基板W之兩側端部附近相比處理液之液流變慢而導致於中央部附近產生處理液之滯留,由此噴出之新舊處理液之置換作用劣化,其結果則招致處理之不均勻化。As shown in FIG. 5, when the processing liquid is ejected by the conventional substrate processing apparatus, the vicinity of the central portion of the surface 102 of the substrate W which is transported at a right angle to the plane of the drawing is adjacent to the vicinity of the both end portions of the substrate W. The liquid flow of the treatment liquid is slower, and the retention of the treatment liquid is caused in the vicinity of the center portion, whereby the replacement action of the old and new treatment liquids discharged is deteriorated, and as a result, the treatment is uneven.

為解決上述問題而被使用一種裝置,其係藉由使噴霧噴嘴之噴霧管部以其長度方向之中心軸為中心往復旋動而使處理液之噴出方向發生變化,從而促進基板表面上之新舊處理液之置換(例如,參照專利文獻1)。In order to solve the above problems, a device is used in which the spray nozzle portion of the spray nozzle is reciprocally rotated about the central axis of the longitudinal direction to change the discharge direction of the treatment liquid, thereby promoting new surface on the substrate. Replacement of the old treatment liquid (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

圖6係表示自先前之噴霧管部往復旋動型之基板處理裝置中之噴嘴部100對基板W之表面102噴出處理液之情況之模式圖。Fig. 6 is a schematic view showing a state in which the nozzle unit 100 in the substrate processing apparatus of the reciprocating rotary type of the prior art spray tube discharges the treatment liquid onto the surface 102 of the substrate W.

於該基板處理裝置中,於與基板搬送方向交叉之方向等間距且互相平行地配置複數個噴霧噴嘴,該噴霧噴嘴包括:噴霧管部,其於沿基板搬送方向(與圖式之平面成直角之方向)之方向延伸(未圖示);及複數個噴嘴部100,其沿噴霧管部之長度方向互相接近地排成一列而設置,一面以各噴霧管部之中心軸為中心藉由旋動機構(未圖示)使該複數個噴霧噴嘴沿圖6(a)中之箭頭符號A方向及圖6(b)中之箭頭符號B方向往復旋動,一面使來自噴嘴部100之處理液向基板之表面102之噴出方向發生變化。然而,只要反覆進行該種往復旋動,則向基板W之表面102上噴出後暫時向基板W之一側端方向流動之處理液會向反方向(另一側端方向)流動,從而於基板中央部附近與兩側端部附近處理液之滯留量不同,因此會產生處理之進行情況不均勻。In the substrate processing apparatus, a plurality of spray nozzles are disposed at equal intervals in a direction intersecting the substrate transfer direction, and the spray nozzle includes a spray tube portion that is disposed at a right angle to the plane of the substrate The direction of the direction) is extended (not shown); and the plurality of nozzle portions 100 are arranged in a line along the longitudinal direction of the spray tube portion, and are rotated around the central axis of each spray tube portion. The moving mechanism (not shown) reciprocates the plurality of spray nozzles in the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 6(a) and the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 6(b), and the processing liquid from the nozzle unit 100 is rotated. The direction in which the surface 102 of the substrate is ejected changes. However, if the reciprocating rotation is repeated, the processing liquid which is temporarily discharged toward the one side end of the substrate W after being ejected onto the surface 102 of the substrate W flows in the opposite direction (the other end direction), thereby forming the substrate. The amount of the treatment liquid remaining in the vicinity of the center portion and the end portions on both sides is different, and thus the progress of the treatment is uneven.

本發明係鑒於如上述之情況而完成者,其目的在於提供一種可防止噴出至基板表面上之處理液產生滯留而可有效地達成整個基板表面之處理均勻化之基板處理裝置。The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a substrate processing apparatus capable of preventing a process liquid discharged onto a surface of a substrate from being retained and effectively achieving uniform processing of the entire substrate surface.

圖2係用以說明設置於構成噴霧噴嘴14之噴霧管部22的噴嘴部24之噴出口26相對於基板W表面102之對向角度之模式圖,圖2(a)係其俯視圖,圖2(b)係其剖面圖。2 is a schematic view for explaining the angle of the discharge port 26 of the nozzle portion 24 of the spray tube portion 22 constituting the spray nozzle 14 with respect to the surface 102 of the substrate W, and FIG. 2(a) is a plan view thereof, FIG. (b) is a sectional view thereof.

如圖2(a)及圖2(b)所示,複數個,於本實施形態中為6個之噴霧噴嘴14a~14f於與基板搬送方向X交叉之方向等間距地且互相平行地配設。噴霧噴嘴14a~14f分別包括:噴霧管部22a~22f,其於沿基板搬送方向之方向延伸;及複數個噴嘴部24,其於各噴霧管部22a~22f之長度方向互相接近地排成一列而設置。As shown in Fig. 2 (a) and Fig. 2 (b), in the present embodiment, six spray nozzles 14a to 14f are disposed at equal intervals in the direction intersecting the substrate transport direction X and are arranged in parallel with each other. . Each of the spray nozzles 14a to 14f includes spray tube portions 22a to 22f extending in the direction in which the substrate is conveyed, and a plurality of nozzle portions 24 arranged in a line in the longitudinal direction of each of the spray tube portions 22a to 22f. And set.

並且,相對於基板W之表面102使複數個噴嘴部24之噴出口26之對向角度,自以水平姿勢搬送之基板W表面102與基板搬送方向X交叉之方向自中央部附近向兩端部附近而相對於鉛垂線逐漸變大之方式,將噴嘴部24設置於各噴霧管部22a~22f,進而該等噴嘴部24,如圖2(a)所示,於與基板搬送方向X交叉之方向呈交錯狀配置。Further, the opposing angle of the discharge port 26 of the plurality of nozzle portions 24 with respect to the surface 102 of the substrate W is from the vicinity of the center portion to both end portions in the direction in which the surface W of the substrate W conveyed in the horizontal posture intersects the substrate transport direction X. The nozzle portion 24 is provided in each of the spray tube portions 22a to 22f so as to gradually increase in the vicinity of the vertical line, and the nozzle portions 24 are intersected with the substrate transport direction X as shown in Fig. 2(a). The directions are staggered.

圖2圖(b)係例示藉由噴嘴部24中設置於噴霧管部22a~22f之基板搬送方向X大致中央部之噴嘴部24a~24f而形成之噴嘴部群之一組,於與基板搬送方向X交叉方向之中央部附近相對向之噴嘴部24c及24d之噴出口26c及26d中,將相對於鉛垂線之角度設定為0°,而於兩端部附近相對向之噴嘴部24a、24f之噴出口26a、26f中,將該角度設定為30°~60°。藉由其他噴嘴部群而形成之組之噴出口相對於基板W的表面102之對向角度亦同樣地以自與基板搬送方向X交叉方向之中央部附近向兩端部附近相對於鉛垂線逐漸變大之方式而設定。FIG. 2(b) shows a group of nozzle groups formed by the nozzle portions 24a to 24f provided in the substantially central portion of the substrate transport direction X of the spray tube portions 22a to 22f in the nozzle portion 24, and is transported to the substrate. In the discharge ports 26c and 26d of the nozzle portions 24c and 24d in the vicinity of the center portion in the direction X intersecting direction, the angle with respect to the vertical line is set to 0°, and the nozzle portions 24a and 24f are opposed to each other in the vicinity of both end portions. In the discharge ports 26a and 26f, the angle is set to 30 to 60. Similarly, the angle of the discharge of the group of the nozzles formed by the other nozzle groups with respect to the surface 102 of the substrate W is gradually increased from the vicinity of the central portion in the direction intersecting the substrate transport direction X to the vicinity of the both ends. Set by increasing the size.

於以上述方式構成之噴霧噴嘴14a~14f中,自設置於靜止狀態之(無往復旋動)噴霧管部22a~22f之噴嘴部24之各自之對向角度固定之噴出口26向基板W之表面102噴出相同噴出量之化學藥品,藉此,可於基板W之表面102上,自與基板搬送方向X交叉方向之基板之中央部向兩端部,積極地產生以箭頭符號Y所示之噴出後之化學藥品之液體流動,而可防止化學藥品產生滯留,且不必調節來自各噴嘴部24之噴出量即可遍及基板W之整個表面102達成均勻之化學藥品處理。如此,可防止使等量之化學藥品直接自各噴嘴部24噴出而於噴出後產生化學藥品處理液之滯留,因此,無需以防止產生該種滯留為目的而用以調節來自各噴嘴部24之化學藥品噴出量之煩瑣之機構等,藉此可謀求設計成本之低廉化。又,例如於使用蝕刻液作為化學藥品進行鋁蝕刻處理之情形時,因所噴出之蝕刻液之滯留而出現產生滯留部位與非產生滯留部位之蝕刻進度之不同,從而使得蝕刻處理不均勻化,藉此,則可有效地阻止產生圖案短路(配線殘留)或圖案形狀之不勻之問題。In the spray nozzles 14a to 14f configured as described above, the discharge ports 26 having the opposite angles of the nozzle portions 24 provided in the stationary state (without reciprocating rotation) of the spray tube portions 22a to 22f are fixed to the substrate W. The surface 102 discharges the chemical of the same discharge amount, whereby the surface of the substrate W can be positively generated by the arrow Y from the central portion of the substrate in the direction intersecting the substrate transport direction X. The liquid of the chemical after the ejection flows, and the retention of the chemical can be prevented, and uniform chemical treatment can be achieved over the entire surface 102 of the substrate W without adjusting the discharge amount from each nozzle portion 24. In this way, it is possible to prevent the chemical from being discharged from the respective nozzle portions 24 and to cause the retention of the chemical treatment liquid after the discharge. Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the chemistry from each nozzle portion 24 for the purpose of preventing the occurrence of such retention. It is possible to reduce the design cost by using a troublesome mechanism for discharging the medicine. Further, for example, when an etching treatment is performed using an etching solution as a chemical, the etching process is not uniform, and the etching progress of the generated portion and the non-generated portion is different due to the retention of the discharged etching liquid, so that the etching process is not uniform. Thereby, the problem of occurrence of pattern short-circuit (residual wiring) or unevenness in pattern shape can be effectively prevented.

又,由於噴嘴部24係於與基板搬送方向X交叉之方向呈交錯狀配置,故而可減少來自各噴嘴部24之化學藥品噴出流之互相干擾,藉此,可更有效地防止基板表面102上之噴出化學藥品產生滯留而積極地促進化學藥品產生液體流動。Further, since the nozzle portions 24 are arranged in a staggered manner in the direction intersecting the substrate transport direction X, mutual interference with the chemical discharge flows from the nozzle portions 24 can be reduced, whereby the substrate surface 102 can be more effectively prevented. The squirting chemicals cause retention and actively promote the flow of liquid from the chemical.
