Embodiment Construction

[0050] exist figure 1 Indicates the substrate billet to be cleaned. A substrate blank 1 is mounted on a carrier device 2 consisting of a glass pane 3 and a mounting element 4 . In this embodiment, one side 5 of the substrate ingot 1 is glued flat to the glass plate 3 . The sawing process that has been performed cuts into the glass pane 3 , resulting in individual substrates, also referred to as wafers 6 . Between the individual wafers 6 are formed gaps 7 in which so-called waste slurry (not shown in the figure) is present, which is to be removed according to the cleaning method of the present invention.

[0051] In order to transfer the substrate ingot connected to the carrier device 2 to the Figure 4 and the device described in 5, so that the carrier device 2 and the figure 2 and 3 Transport with the aids described in . Preferably, the auxiliary device 8 comprises a laterally arranged mechanism 9 which is compatible with the Figure 4 Cooperate with the device of 5. ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for cleaning thin wafers (6), said wafers (6) being immobilized with one side on a support device (2) and an interspace (7) being defined between two respective adjoining substrates. The device essentially consists of a shower device (15) which is used to introduce a fluid between the interspaces (7), and a tank (14) that can be filled with the fluid and is dimensioned to receive the support device (2). The invention is characterized in that optionally either the shower device (15) can be displaced relative to the stationary support device (2), or the support device (2) relative to the stationary shower device (15), or both the support device (2) and the shower device (15) can be displaced relative each other. The method according to the invention is characterized by showering, preferably in a cleaning step, the wafers with warm fluid, the support device (2) being displaced inside the tank, then ultrasound-cleaning them in cold fluid and again showering them with warm fluid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to cleaning thin wafers, such as semiconductor wafers, glass substrates, photomasks, mini-disks or similar objects. In particular, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods for pre-cleaning semiconductor wafers after they have been sawed from an ingot. [0002] definition [0003] According to the present invention the term "thin disc" must be understood as referring to objects having a very small thickness in the range between 80 and 300 micrometers, eg 150-170 μm (micrometers). The shape of the wafer is arbitrary, and may be, for example, generally round (semiconductor wafers) or generally rectangular or square (solar wafers), where the corners may optionally be angled, rounded, or side-cornered. Due to their small thickness, these objects are extremely fragile. The present invention relates to the pre-cleaning of these objects. [0004] In the following, the device and the method according to th...
