Semiconductor wafer washing system and method of supplying chemicals to the washing tanks of the system

摘要

A semiconductor wafer washing system can execute a method in which the washing solution is quickly changed over and over again without the need to alter the structure of the system. The wafer washing system includes a washing solution supply section in which a plurality of chemicals are stored separately, and from which selected ones of the chemicals can be supplied in a predetermined ratio into a washing tank. A circulation section includes circulation piping connected to the washing tank for circulating the washing solution to and from the tank. A discharge section selectively discharges residual chemicals or washing solution from the washing solution supply section, the washing tank and the circulation section. A controller controls the flow of chemicals and washing solution in the washing solution supply section, the circulation section and the discharge section, respectively.
