Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to a wafer wet etching equipment. Background technique [0002] In the manufacture of semiconductor devices, etching processes include dry etching and wet etching. In dry etching, the etching gas is usually fed into the etching chamber, and plasma is formed to form plasma (plasma), and then the etched material on the wafer, such as a silicon wafer, is etched. Wet etching uses an etching solution to etch the material to be etched on the wafer. [0003] With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the process node, that is, the line width will continue to shrink, and the technology of line width restriction will make the process more and more difficult. In order to reduce the damage of the metal gate layer or the surface of the film (film), the existing dry etching The requirements for etching technology are becoming increasingly stringen...
