Description
Device for reducing residual water on surface of cleaned silicon wafer and control method thereof Technical Field The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor silicon wafer processing, in particular to a device for reducing residual water on the surface of a cleaned silicon wafer and a control method thereof. Background In the manufacturing process of semiconductor silicon wafers, lapping (grinding) is an important process for thinning the thickness of the silicon wafer. In the actual processing process, a large amount of heat is generated due to high-speed friction between the grinding roller and the silicon wafer, and cooling and lubrication are required to be continuously performed by spraying cooling liquid. After the silicon wafer is processed by the grinding machine, the silicon wafer needs to be cleaned in a cleaning part, the silicon wafer slowly advances through a track of the cleaning part, then small openings formed in an upper stainless steel pipe and a lower stainless steel pipe are fixed at an outlet of the cleaning part for blowing, and the water on the surface of the silicon wafer is dried. Because the stainless steel tube is fixed at the outlet of the cleaning part of the grinding machine, the blowing angle is not easy to adjust, and a small amount of water remains on the surface of the silicon wafer. The silicon wafer with residual water is measured on a measuring machine, so that measurement errors are easily caused, and real data of the silicon wafer quality cannot be fed back well. However, existing grinding equipment and processes have the following significant problems: 1. The residual water on the surface is difficult to thoroughly remove, and a large amount of cooling liquid is adhered to the surface of the silicon wafer after the grinding processing is finished. Conventional removal methods typically rely solely on centrifugal force generated by high speed rotation to spin-dry the liquid. The mode has limited effect on removing the microscopic water film on the surface of the silicon wafer, and water marks or residual impurities are often left on the surface of the silicon wafer. 2. And the back surface pollution problem is that the cooling liquid is easy to splash or flow to the back surface of the silicon wafer along the edge in the grinding process. If an effective interception and recovery mechanism is lacking, the cooling liquid can be remained between the silicon wafer and the carrier, so that the back surface of the silicon wafer is polluted, and the yield of subsequent procedures is affected. 3. The dead angle exists in the drying of the air knife, namely, although part of equipment introduces the air knife for drying, the traditional fixed air knife has single air flow direction, is difficult to cover all areas on the surface of the silicon wafer, and easily has a blowing dead angle, so that partial areas remain moisture, and the drying uniformity is poor.
