Abstract
A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus according to the present embodiment comprises a chamber. A chemical-agent supply part is configured to supply a water-repellent agent or an organic solvent to a surface of a semiconductor substrate having been cleaned with a cleaning liquid in the chamber. A spray part is configured to spray a water-capture agent capturing water into an atmosphere in the chamber.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus comprising:
a chamber; a chemical-agent supply part supplying a water-repellent agent or an organic solvent to a surface of a semiconductor substrate having been cleaned with a cleaning liquid in the chamber; and a spray part spraying a water-capture agent capturing water into an atmosphere in the chamber.
2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the water-capture agent is made of a material same as a material of the water-repellent agent.
3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the water-repellent agent is a silane coupling agent, and the organic solvent is isopropyl alcohol.
4 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the water-repellent agent is a silane coupling agent, and the organic solvent is isopropyl alcohol.
5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the spray part sprays the water-capture agent into the atmosphere in the chamber either simultaneously with or before a timing at which the chemical-liquid supply part supplies the water-repellent agent or the organic solvent to the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the chemical-agent supply part sprays the organic solvent to the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the chamber accommodates a plurality of the semiconductor substrates, and the chemical-agent supply part sprays the organic solvent to surfaces of the semiconductor substrates.
8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the spray part is formed integrally with the chemical-agent supply part.
9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a mounting part mounting the semiconductor substrate in the chamber, wherein
the mounting part rotates the semiconductor substrate in order to drain off a liquid on the semiconductor substrate.
10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , comprising a vacuum device evacuating air from interior of the chamber.
11 . A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device for manufacturing the semiconductor device using a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, which comprises a chamber, a chemical-agent supply part supplying a water-repellent agent or an organic solvent into the chamber, and a spray part spraying a water-capture agent capturing water into the chamber, the method comprising:
arranging a semiconductor substrate having been cleaned with a cleaning liquid in the chamber; spraying the water-capture agent capturing water into an atmosphere in the chamber; and supplying the water-repellent agent or the organic solvent to a surface of the semiconductor substrate either simultaneously with or after spraying of the water-capture agent.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the water-capture agent is a chemical liquid same as the water-repellent agent.
13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the water-repellent agent is a silane coupling agent, and the organic solvent is isopropyl alcohol.
14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the water-repellent agent is a silane coupling agent, and the organic solvent is isopropyl alcohol.
15 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising rinsing the surface of the semiconductor substrate with deionized water after supplying the water-repellent agent.
16 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising rotating the semiconductor substrate in order to drain off a liquid on the semiconductor substrate after supplying the water-repellent agent or the organic solvent.
17 . The method of claim 11 , wherein supply of the organic solvent is performed by allowing the chemical-agent supply part to spray the water-repellent agent or the organic solvent to the surface of the semiconductor substrate.
18 . The method of claim 11 , wherein
the chamber accommodates a plurality of the semiconductor substrates, and the chemical-agent supply part sprays the organic solvent to surfaces of the semiconductor substrates.
19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein
the chamber accommodates a plurality of the semiconductor substrates, and the chemical-agent supply part sprays the organic solvent to surfaces of the semiconductor substrates.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
