    摘要: A method for processing a substrate is provided which includes applying fluid onto a surface of the substrate from a portion of a plurality of inlets and removing at least the fluid from the surface of the substrate where the removing being processed as the fluid is applied to the surface. The applying the fluid and the removing the fluid forms a segment of a fluid meniscus on the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: A system and method for re-circulating processing fluids in a substrate processing system is provided. A fluid re-circulation system for a brush box processing tool includes a supply tank into which processing chemicals, DI water, or other processing fluids are introduced into the system from an external source. Processing chemicals are provided to the brush box and dispensed to process a substrate. Dispensed fluids drain from the brush box into a diverter through which fluids either flow to waste, or into a collection tank. Fluids from the collection tank flow into the supply tank to re-circulate for wafer processing. The re-circulation system includes filters for maintaining chemical purity, and chemical concentration is monitored and adjusted as necessary.

    摘要: A dispensing measuring system for dispensing a measure of fluid for use with a system to treat semiconductor workpieces is disclosed. The dispensing measuring system includes at least one feedline having a receiving tank having a volumetric capacity for receiving a measure of fluid. A sensor senses when the receiving tank has received the measure of fluid. A mix tank is attached to the at least one feedline for receiving the measure of fluid from the receiving tank to create a batch of fluid. A controller is electrically connected to the at least one feedline to control the flow of fluid through the at least one feedline. The controller is electrically connected to the mix tank. A connecting line is attached to the mix tank.

    摘要: Methods for processing substrate through a head that is configured to be placed in close non-contact proximity to a surface of a substrate are provided. One method includes applying a first fluid onto the surface of the substrate from conduits in the head when the head is in close proximity to the surface of the substrate and removing the first fluid from the surface of the substrate. The removing is processed just as first fluid is applied to the surface of the substrate, and the removing ensures that the applied first fluid is contained between a surface of the head and the surface of the substrate and the first fluid being applied and removed defines a controlled meniscus. The method further includes moving the controlled meniscus over different regions of the surface of the substrate when movement of the head or the substrate is dictated. The moving of the controlled meniscus enables processing of part or all of the surface of the substrate using the first fluid.

    摘要: A system, method and apparatus for cleaning a substrate edge includes a substrate supporting device for substantially supporting a substrate in a selected plane. The substrate has a circular shape, a circumferential edge, a front side and a back side. The edge has a bevel shaped cross-section. The substrate edge cleaning apparatus also includes a first edge cleaning roller that has an open curved scrubbing surface in contact with at least part of a first portion the edge of the substrate. An interaction of the first edge cleaning roller with the part of the first portion can also be adjusted dynamically.
