摘要: In a first aspect, a first method of drying a substrate is provided. The first method includes the steps of (1) lifting a substrate through an air/fluid interface at a first rate; (2) directing a drying vapor at the air/fluid interface during lifting of the substrate; and (3) while a portion of the substrate remains in the air/fluid interface, reducing a rate at which a remainder of the substrate is lifted through the air/fluid interface to a second rate. The drying vapor may form an angle of about 23° with the air/fluid interface and/or the second rate may be about 2.5 mm/sec.

摘要: A Megasonic cleaning apparatus having at least one reflector (e.g., a parabolic or paraboloid reflector) positioned to collect otherwise wasted cleaning energy and redirect that energy to one or a plurality of positions on a wafer's edge is provided. A first embodiment comprises a complex parabolic reflector which has a width greater than that of the wafer and a preferred length approximately equal to the diameter of the wafer, and which is shaped to provide focal points which vary along the length of the parabolic reflector, such that energy striking the reflector at different points along the reflector's length is directed to a plurality of different points along the wafer's edge. A second embodiment comprises a simple parabolic reflector having a width greater than that of the wafer and a preferred length less than the diameter of the wafer, and which is provided to focus at a cord along the wafer's surface, effectively focusing cleaning energy on two points along the wafer's edge at any given time. Yet another embodiment of the invention comprises a paraboloid reflector having a width greater than that of the wafer and a preferred length which is substantially less than the diameter of the wafer and which is shaped to focus all collected energy to a single point on the wafer's edge. Multiple such reflectors may be positioned in the cleaning tank to optimize energy usage and wafer cleaning.
