摘要:
A semiconductor device support carrier used for a liquid phase process of a semiconductor device with a process liquid is disclosed. The semiconductor device support carrier comprises a support frame supporting the semiconductor device, and a dust protection plate mounted on the support frame and positioned above the semiconductor device. When the semiconductor device support carrier is drawn up from the process liquid, dust in the process liquid is pushed aside and out of the semiconductor device by the dust protection plate.

The present invention relates to a cleaning apparatus which can reduce a potential difference between metals or alloys used to form interconnects on a substrate for thereby minimizing corrosion which may occur during and after a substrate cleaning process. The cleaning apparatus for cleaning a substrate having metal interconnects comprises a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the substrate, and a functional water supply mechanism for supplying functional water to the cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism cleans a surface of the substrate with use of the functional water.

A method of and an apparatus for cleaning workpiece is suitable for cleaning a substrate such as a semiconductor substrate, a glass substrate, or a liquid crystal panel to a high level of cleanliness. The method of cleaning a workpiece comprises the steps of holding a workpiece, scrubbing the workpiece with a cleaning member, and rubbing the cleaning member against a member having a rough surface to carry out a self-cleaning of the cleaning member. The cleaning member which is contaminated by having scrubbed the workpiece is rubbed against the rough surface, and the rough surface scrapes the contaminant off the cleaning member. Therefore, the contaminant can effectively be removed from the cleaning member, and hence the cleaning member has a high self-cleaning effect.

A semiconductor cleaning method includes scrubbing a semiconductor wafer using a cleaning member made primarily of polyurethane and having micropores in a surface contacting the semiconductor wafer. The micropores have an average diameter ranging from 10 to 200 .mu.m. The cleaning member may be made of either polyurethane foam or non-woven fabric composed of fibers bound together by urethane resin. By this scrubbing step, particles that are strongly attached to the surface of a substrate such as the semiconductor wafer can easily be removed. During cleaning of the substrate, surface irregularities and crystalline protrusions on the surface of a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer can be scraped off to adjust the surface roughness of the semiconductor wafer to a desired degree for making the semiconductor wafer surface flat.
摘要:
A film formed on a wafer is polished in a CMP unit. Thereafter, the wafer, which is adhered to a wafer holder, is moved to a portion above an optical sensor. A surface of the wafer is radiated with, for example, a visible ray, thereby measuring a thickness of the film which has been polished. A control unit automatically sets a polishing time for polishing a film on a wafer to be polished next.
摘要:
A semiconductor wafer support carrier used for supporting semiconductor wafers during a liquid phase process. The semiconductor wafer support carrier supports the semiconductor wafers when the semiconductor wafers are standing and spaced. The semiconductor wafer support carrier comprises a support frame supporting the semiconductor wafers, and dust protector plates arranged parallel to the semiconductor wafers. The dust protection plates are high enough that the upper ends thereof come out of the process liquid prior to the semiconductor wafers when the support frame is lifted out of the liquid.
