Description
本發明涉及半導體製造技術領域,特別是涉及一種半導體晶盒清洗乾燥儲存一體化方法及設備。 The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to an integrated method and equipment for cleaning, storage and storage of semiconductor crystal boxes.
半導體製造工藝中,傳統的矽片晶盒清洗採用浸泡式人工清洗或單體懸掛噴淋式清洗。人工清洗方式為將晶盒浸入水槽,使用尼龍或海綿進行擦洗。單體懸掛噴淋式清洗方式需採用專用清洗設備,在清洗設備的中間設有一主軸,圍繞主軸設置若干插入籠(Insert Cage),每個插入籠(Insert Cage)可放置若干套晶盒。一般將去蓋後的晶盒以及晶盒蓋垂直放入清洗設備的插入籠(Insert Cage)中,其中晶盒敞口水準朝外,晶盒蓋放置於晶盒側面,然後進行噴淋清洗。人工清洗後的乾燥一般為自然乾燥。噴淋式清洗設備使用氣體乾燥、旋轉乾燥等。 In the semiconductor manufacturing process, traditional silicon wafer box cleaning is performed by immersion manual cleaning or single-hung spray shower cleaning. The manual cleaning method is to immerse the crystal box in the water tank and scrub it with nylon or sponge. The single-hung spray spray cleaning method requires special cleaning equipment. A main shaft is provided in the middle of the cleaning equipment, and several insert cages are set around the main shaft. Each insert cage can place several sets of crystal boxes. Generally, the removed crystal box and the crystal box cover are vertically inserted into the insert cage of the cleaning device, wherein the open level of the crystal box is outward, and the crystal box cover is placed on the side of the crystal box, and then spray-washed. Drying after manual cleaning is generally natural drying. Spray cleaning equipment uses gas drying, spin drying, and the like.
傳統的矽片晶盒清洗和乾燥的主要問題是:人工清洗技術上容易去除晶盒污染物,但依賴人工,清洗品質的一致性無法保證。而且對於重要的晶盒,如出貨給客戶的,客戶一般不會允許人工清洗。噴淋式清洗使用噴嘴噴淋進行清洗,不能針對晶盒死角進行針對性的清洗,技術上對於晶盒污染物的去除效果一般。氣體乾燥會重新引入污染物;旋轉乾燥 對晶盒有可能造成一定程度磨損;自然乾燥耗時較長,一般在8個小時或以上,且自然乾燥需要操作員不停的操作,人員本身即是污染源。 The main problem of traditional silicon wafer crystal box cleaning and drying is that it is easy to remove the crystal box pollutants by manual cleaning technology, but the consistency of the cleaning quality cannot be guaranteed by relying on manual labor. And for important crystal boxes, such as those shipped to customers, customers generally do not allow manual cleaning. Spray cleaning uses nozzle spray for cleaning, and can not perform targeted cleaning for the dead corner of the crystal box. Technically, the effect of removing pollutants from the crystal box is average. Gas drying will re-introduce pollutants; spin drying may cause a certain degree of wear on the crystal box; natural drying takes a long time, generally 8 hours or more, and natural drying requires the operator's non-stop operation, the personnel themselves are Pollution source.

For example, after the card slot is full, press "OK", the control module 100 controls the crystal box loading unit 101 to close the outer door, and the fully loaded crystal box carrier 200 tilts into the device. The preferred inclination angle is 15 degrees, and it can be maintained at the same angle during subsequent cleaning, vacuum drying, storage, and unloading processes. Preferably, when the crystal cassette carrier 200 is transported between the crystal cassette loading unit 101, the crystal cassette cleaning unit 102, the crystal cassette pre-drying unit 103, the crystal cassette drying storage unit 104, and the crystal cassette unloading unit 105, Maintain the tilt angle.

真空乾燥可以作為預乾燥,主要用於去除晶盒清洗後的水滴,要將晶盒徹底乾燥至乾燥標準,則以自然乾燥為佳。所述晶盒儲存單元104可用於晶盒的自然乾燥。如圖4所示,所述晶盒儲存單元104可以包括多層儲存台,每層儲存台可放置多個晶盒載具200,本實施例優選為四層儲存台,每層儲存台可放置五個晶盒載具200,即總共可乾燥100個晶盒。所述儲存台優選地以一定角度向下傾斜,所述儲存台向下傾斜的一端設有擋板。所述儲存台的傾斜角度與輸運所述晶盒載具200時保持的傾斜角度一致。 Vacuum drying can be used as pre-drying. It is mainly used to remove water droplets after cleaning the crystal box. To dry the crystal box completely to the drying standard, natural drying is preferred. The crystal box storage unit 104 can be used for natural drying of the crystal box. As shown in FIG. 4, the crystal box storage unit 104 may include a multi-layer storage table, and a plurality of crystal box carriers 200 can be placed on each storage table. In this embodiment, it is preferably a four-layer storage table, and each layer can store five storage tables. Each crystal box carrier 200 can dry 100 crystal boxes in total. The storage table is preferably inclined downward at an angle, and a baffle is provided at one end of the storage table inclined downward. The inclination angle of the storage table is consistent with the inclination angle maintained when the crystal box carrier 200 is transported.
本實施例中,以真空乾燥進行預乾燥完成後,機械手臂抓取晶盒載具200進入所述晶盒儲存單元104中,從最下層開始投入,投入後由於重力關係,晶盒載具200向傾斜方滑動,直到被擋住。如圖4所示,最右方有擋板將第一個晶盒載具200擋住,之後的晶盒載具200被前一個晶盒載具200擋住。一層放滿後,下一個晶盒載具200會被放入上一層,以此類推。晶盒載具200放置完成後晶盒靜置進行自然乾燥。 In this embodiment, after the pre-drying by vacuum drying is completed, the robotic arm grabs the crystal box carrier 200 into the crystal box storage unit 104, and starts to input from the bottom layer. After the input, due to the gravity, the crystal box carrier 200 Slide to the oblique direction until it is blocked. As shown in FIG. 4, there is a baffle plate on the far right to block the first cassette carrier 200, and the subsequent cassette carrier 200 is blocked by the previous cassette carrier 200. After one layer is filled, the next crystal carrier 200 will be placed in the previous layer, and so on. After the cassette carrier 200 is placed, the cassette is left to stand for natural drying.
實施過程中可根據需要增加預乾燥時間,以減少自然乾燥時 間,本發明設備產能即可增加,但能源消耗也相應增加。如本發明設備產能足夠,則可根據需要減少預乾燥時間,以節約能源消耗。實施過程中每層晶盒載具的預乾燥與自然乾燥時間可以根據需要設置為不同。由於自然乾燥時間長,可能導致需要卸載晶盒時乾燥程度未達到乾燥標準。針對這種情況,可以投入另一批晶盒,並設置進行長時間的真空乾燥直至乾燥標準,跳過自然乾燥步驟,放入晶盒儲存單元104的特定位置,由機械手臂直接將其取出卸載使用。 During the implementation process, the pre-drying time can be increased as needed to reduce the natural drying time. The capacity of the device of the present invention can be increased, but the energy consumption is also increased accordingly. If the capacity of the device of the present invention is sufficient, the pre-drying time can be reduced as required to save energy consumption. During the implementation process, the pre-drying and natural drying time of each layer of crystal box carrier can be set to be different according to needs. Due to the long natural drying time, the drying degree may not reach the drying standard when the crystal box needs to be unloaded. In response to this situation, another batch of crystal cassettes can be put in and set to perform a long-term vacuum drying to the drying standard. The natural drying step is skipped and placed in a specific location of the crystal cassette storage unit 104. The robotic arm directly takes them out and unloads them. use.

For example, the operator may select "unload" on the integrated device console, and the control module 100 controls the robotic arm to enter the crystal box storage unit 104 to take out the crystal box carrier 200 that was dried first. In this embodiment, if the control module 100 determines that the non-crystal box carrier 200 has been dried, an alarm prompt is issued. If it is determined that the drying has been completed, the control module 100 controls the robotic arm to put the taken out crystal box carrier 200 into the crystal box. The unloading unit 105 controls the outer door of the crystal box unloading unit 105 to open. The operator manually removes the crystal box body and the corresponding box cover from the crystal box carrier 200 and presses "OK", and the unloading is completed.
