    摘要: The cleaning pads (102, 104) that are used to clean work pieces (200), such as semiconductor wafers, are cyclically compressed against one another and rinsed with a rinsing fluid. By cyclically compressing the cleaning pads (102, 104) together and rinsing them, the debris that the cleaning pads remove from the work pieces (200) and that becomes embedded in, and adhered to, the cleaning pads (102, 104) is subsequently removed therefrom.

    摘要: A multiple wafer cleaning apparatus comprising a first module (12), having a first spaced-apart brush assembly having an inner brush (21a) and an outer brush (22a), each brush having a brush pad (102) and a platen (103), and a second module (14) having a second spaced-apart brush assembly (22) having an inner brush (22a) and an outer brush (22b), each brush having a brush pad (102) and a platen (103), each pair of spaced-apart, opposing, vertically disposed brushes (21) and (22) for scrubbing vertically disposed semiconductor wafers (25), in tanks (28). The two modularized sets of motorized, rotating, opposed, pancake shaped brushes (12) and (14), grip the freely rotating wafers (25) causing the wafers (25) to rotate in the same direction as the brushes. The size of the brushes relative to the wafer radius is selected so that at any given instant a first portion of the offset vertically disposed wafers are positioned between the contacts of the brushes while the second remaining portion of the wafers extend outwardly downward from between the brushes. The peripheral second remaining portions of the wafers are supported by the vertical rotating support members (27). The tanks (28) can contain a cleaning solution (26) and a megasonic transducer (29) allowing the support member (27) to support the workpiece (25) in a partially submerged position.

    摘要: A method is provided for planarizing/polishing and subsequently in situ cleaning a surface of a work piece such as a semiconductor wafer. The method includes the steps of planarizing/polishing the surface of a work piece by subjecting a work piece surface to a chemical mechanical planarization/polishing (CMP) process on a chemical mechanical planarization/polishing platen such that the planarization/polishing process leaves the surface of the work piece hydrophobic. The planarization/polishing process is followed by a chemical mechanical cleaning (CMC) process in which the planarized/polished surface of the work piece is subjected to the cleaning process on the same chemical mechanical planarization/polishing platen such that the cleaning process leaves the surface of the work piece hydrophilic.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for cleaning a wafer in a dual brush cleaning system is disclosed. Two brushes, preferably made of PVA and wetted by cleaning fluids, are positioned opposite one another and spaced apart enough to allow a portion of a wafer to be inserted between their working surfaces and make frictional engagement with them. The top brush is rotated at a first speed and the bottom brush is rotated at a second faster speed sufficient for the freely rotating wafer to rotate at the same speed and in the same direction as the top brush. The bottom brush may have raised areas on its surface to assist in efficiently gripping and rotating the wafer. A common rotation speed and direction causes a uniform relative velocity between the top brush and the wafer that results in an improved cleaning operation.
