Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vial cover assembly, and more particularly to a cover assembly for protecting vials containing chemicals used in semiconductor processing. [Background technology]

[0002] Glass bottles are widely used in our daily lives and are used in a variety of ways depending on the properties and purposes of the contents.

[0003] Photoresist (photosensitive liquid) containers used in semiconductor photoprocessing are made of special materials that contain UV (ultraviolet) blocking paint, which utilizes the principle of light refraction angle. This is to protect the special properties of the solution. The solution inside is also expensive, and since it is a substance that is harmful to the human body if leaked, it is generally stored in a completely isolated state.

[0004] Containers are typically 1 gallon (3.8 liters) in size and are standardized in volume and shape.

[0005] Due to the nature of the solvent, its photosensitivity is sensitive to external temperatures, and it is stored in a constant temperature facility at 23°C (common storage temperatures are below 4°C). In fact, due to concerns that cracking caused by careless handling could cause harm to humans, it is classified as a hazardous and harmful substance, and its handling is restricted to authorized personnel only.

[0006] In addition, with the current heightened concern about the environment and safety, if a glass bottle containing chemicals breaks and causes a toxic substance to leak, it could harm the workers first and have a negative impact on the semiconductor company's public image, so there is a real need to be very proactive in preparing countermeasures.

[0007] The aim is to improve the problems of conventional glass bottles by replacing them with plastic materials. However, since plastic containers do not fully maintain the purity of chemical solutions after dissolution, it is expected that glass bottles will continue to be used for a considerable period of time.

[0008] Patent Document 1: Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2071399, Protective Device Patent, relates to a device for protecting a photoresist bottle used in semiconductor photoprocessing, and includes a protective method for wrapping the outside of the bottle. However, for use in actual photoprocessing, the protective device must be removed to expose the bottle to the outside.

[0009] Patent Document 2: Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1746779 is a patent related to a cover assembly for protecting a chemical bottle, which is manufactured based on a glass bottle with a handle. With the cover assembly attached, the container lid is broken through the virgin ring, the cap of the chemical container is opened, and the chemical inside is used. Here, the process of putting the chemical into the chemical container, covering it with the cover assembly again, and transporting it is necessary. There is also a risk of damage during the process of transporting the chemical container to cover the cover assembly. The added process adds substantial risks, which may cause issues with the effectiveness of using the cover assembly. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0021]

[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the various drawings, although the scope of the patent is not limited or restricted by the embodiments.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a front view of a glass vial cover assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a glass vial cover assembly (including a glass vial) according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an exploded view of a glass vial cover assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, a glass bottle cover assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention relates to a glass bottle cover assembly 10 for protecting a glass bottle 1 containing chemicals, and includes an upper cover 100 and a lower cover 200 configured to surround a body 50 of the glass bottle 1, a guide ring 300 configured to be fixed to an upper recess formed on the upper outer surface of the glass bottle 1, and a cap 400 configured to open and close an opening 1000 formed on the upper end of the glass bottle 1, and simultaneously configured to be connected to a glass bottle thread 20 formed on the upper outer surface of the glass bottle 1 and a fixing portion formed on the upper outer surface of the guide ring 300.

[0024] The vial cover assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be, but is not necessarily limited to, a vial cover assembly 10 for protecting a vial containing photoresist used in semiconductor processing.

[0025] However, for purposes of explanation, it will be assumed that the vial cover assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is for photoresist used in semiconductor processing.

[0026] Photoresists used in semiconductor processes have predetermined glass bottle specifications and shapes, and the process of putting the photoresist into glass bottle 1 is also standardized.

[0027] Roughly speaking, the process of putting photoresist into glass bottle 1 involves manufacturing glass bottle 1 and cleaning the inside and outside of glass bottle 1. After cleaning glass bottle 1, empty glass bottle 1 whose cap is not completely sealed is placed on a conveyor aligned for putting photoresist in, cap 400 is opened by a device that holds cap 400 of glass bottle 1, and a hose is attached to glass bottle 1 to fill it with 1 gallon of photoresist.

[0028] Next, the storage process after the cap 400 is completely closed and sealed is completed just before the photoresist is used in a semiconductor process.

[0029] The process itself needs to be carried out in clean conditions so that the photoresist can be stored in the glass jar 1 without the risk of being contaminated or degraded by other components.

[0030] Furthermore, the glass bottle 1 is exposed to the outside during the transportation process and is simply wrapped in a plastic bag, and there is no device to protect the glass bottle 1 from the risk of falling.

[0031] The glass bottle cover assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention was invented to prevent the risk of photoresist and chemicals leaking out even if the glass bottle 1 is damaged during storage, transportation, and use in semiconductor processes.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a glass bottle cover assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention encases a glass bottle 1 in a cover, which is preferably divided into an upper cover 100 and a lower cover 200, which combine to surround the body 50 of the glass bottle 1.

[0033] Materials for the upper cover 100 and the lower cover 200 include glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), acrylic resin, polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), Teflon (registered trademark), and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

[0034] The upper cover 100 may include a handle 110 formed on one side of the outer peripheral surface, a guide ring fixing portion 120 formed to protrude inward from the upper part of the inner peripheral surface, a protruding portion 130 located below the guide ring fixing portion 120 and protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface so as to contact the annular lip 35 of the glass bottle 1, a protruding coupling portion 140 located below the protruding portion 130 and protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface so as to contact the annular protrusion 45 of the glass bottle 1, a cover recess 150 formed below the protruding coupling portion 140, and an upper cover assembly thread 160 formed on the lower part of the outer peripheral surface and configured to be coupled to the lower cover 200.

[0035] Additionally, the upper cover 100 may further include a groove portion (not shown) formed between the handle connecting portions to prevent deformation of the handle 110.

[0036] 3, the top of the upper cover 100 is open, and the guide ring fixing portion 120 may be formed to protrude inward at the portion closest to the open top. The guide ring fixing portion 120 of the upper cover 100 may be coupled to the lower outer peripheral surface of the guide ring 300 to more securely seal the glass bottle 1.

[0037] The protruding portion 130 may be formed below the guide ring fixing portion 120, and may be implemented in an arc shape that protrudes convexly compared to the overall upper shape of the top cover 100. The protruding portion 130 may be a portion that is firmly attached to the annular lip 35 formed on the glass bottle 1 when the top cover 100 is attached to the glass bottle 1.

[0038] Furthermore, the handle 110 may be provided on the outer circumferential surface of the upper cover 100. For example, a first connection portion 111 connecting the upper portion of the handle 110 to the outer circumferential surface of the upper cover 100 may be formed below the protruding portion 130, and a second connection portion 112 connecting the lower portion of the handle 110 to the outer circumferential surface of the upper cover 100 may be formed on the protruding coupling portion 140. In other words, the handle 110 may be formed between the protruding portion 130 and the protruding coupling portion 140. The position and shape of the handle 110 are not limited thereto and may be variously changed depending on the shape of the cover assembly.

[0039] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, below the protruding portion 130, the cross section may widen to increase in diameter, forming a concave cross section like a cover recess 150, while the protruding coupling portion 140 may be formed at the corresponding connecting portion.

[0040] The protruding coupling portion 140 is a portion that is firmly attached to the annular protrusion 45 formed on the glass bottle 1 when the top cover 100 is attached to the glass bottle 1 .

[0041] 3, the shape of glass vial 1 used in semiconductor processing is shown. Opening 1000 is formed at the top, and glass vial thread 20 configured to be coupled to cap 400 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the top. Upper recess 30, which has a smaller diameter than opening 1000, is formed below glass vial thread 20. Protruding ring-shaped annular lip 35 is formed below upper recess 30, and lower recess 40 is formed such that its diameter increases downward and then suddenly decreases.

[0042] The annular protrusion 45 is formed at the top end of the lower recess 40 and increases in diameter as it progresses downward from the lower recess 40, so that at a certain height a body 50 of the same diameter is formed to hold one gallon of photoresist.

[0043] The upper recess 30 and the lower recess 40 formed in the glass bottle 1 correspond to spaces for securing fingers when holding or carrying the glass bottle 1 by hand, and the glass bottle cover assembly 10 is firmly attached to the glass bottle 1 while maintaining the shape of the existing glass bottle, and can protect workers from dangerous chemicals inside even if the glass bottle 1 is broken.

[0044] Alternatively, a gradient may be formed such that the diameter of the body 50 of the glass vial 1 increases from the top of the body 50 to the annular bend 55 and decreases from the annular bend 55 to the bottom of the body 50. The annular bend 55 allows the glass vial cover assembly 10 to be more securely attached to the glass vial 1.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 2, the protruding coupling portion 140 of the glass vial cover assembly 10 mentioned above comes into close contact with the annular protrusion 45 of the glass vial 1, thereby naturally fixing the glass vial 1 in place so that it does not move or shake within the glass vial cover assembly 10.

[0046] The cover recess 150 is formed below the protruding coupling portion 140 and serves to support the protruding annular protrusion 45 of the glass bottle 1. This structure makes it easy to fix the top cover 100 to the glass bottle 1 and prevents the fixed glass bottle 1 from being easily separated from the top cover 100.

[0047] In addition, upper cover assembly threads 160 configured to be coupled to the lower cover 200 are formed on the lower outer peripheral surface of the upper cover 100, and the upper cover assembly threads 160 engage with lower cover assembly threads 260 formed on the upper inner peripheral surface of the lower cover 200 to couple the upper cover 100 and the lower cover 200. However, without being limited thereto, threads may be formed on the lower inner peripheral surface of the upper cover 100 and the upper outer peripheral surface of the lower cover 200, and the upper cover 100 and the lower cover 200 may be coupled accordingly.

[0048] Here, the upper cover 100 may be formed to cover from the upper recess 30 of the glass vial 1 to the annular bend 55 of the glass vial 1, and the lower cover 200 may be formed to cover from the upper cover assembly thread 160 of the upper cover 100 to the bottom end of the glass vial 1. However, this is not necessarily limited to this. The lower cover 200 may be formed to cover from the annular bend 55 of the glass vial 1 to the bottom end of the glass vial 1, and the upper cover 100 may be formed to cover from the upper recess 30 of the glass vial 1 to the bottom cover assembly thread 260 of the bottom cover 200. In other words, the connecting portion between the upper cover assembly thread 160 of the upper cover 100 and the bottom cover assembly thread 260 of the bottom cover 200 may be formed adjacent to the annular bend 55 of the glass vial 1.

[0049] Furthermore, the upper cover 100 and the lower cover 200 may be firmly attached through ultrasonic welding or another adhesive material, with the upper cover 100 and the lower cover 200 being screwed together, where the adhesive material may preferably have chemical resistance properties.

[0050] The guide ring 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention prevents foreign matter (cleaning liquid during cleaning) from entering through the space formed between the outer circumferential surface of the glass bottle 1 and the inner circumferential surface of the upper cover 100.

[0051] 4 to 6 show perspective and front views of a guide ring according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] 3, the guide ring 300 is fixed to the upper recess 30 of the glass vial 1. Preferably, the guide ring 300 is formed to be flush with the upper recess 30 and is formed to be hooked onto the annular lip 35 of the glass vial 1.

[0053] The material of the guide ring 300 may be, but is not limited to, ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). The guide ring 300 made of EPDM can be easily fixed to the upper recess 30 of the glass bottle 1 due to its excellent adhesiveness and elastic recovery force.

[0054] The guide ring 300 may also contain carbon. By mixing carbon, which is a conductor, it is possible to prevent static electricity from building up and causing adverse effects, and it is possible to omit the need for a separate antistatic agent to protect the glass bottle 1 containing chemicals from static electricity.

[0055] As shown in FIG. 4, the guide ring 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a first fixing portion 310 formed on the upper part of the outer circumferential surface of the guide ring 300 and configured to be coupled to the lower part of the inner circumferential surface of the cap 400, and a second fixing portion 320 formed on the lower part of the outer circumferential surface of the guide ring 300 and configured to be coupled to the upper part of the inner circumferential surface of the upper cover 100, in particular the guide ring fixing portion 120.

[0056] The guide ring 300 is fixed between the top cover 100 of the glass vial 1 and the glass vial 1, and between the lower part of the cap 400 and the glass vial 1. In detail, the guide ring 300 can more reliably interconnect the top cover 100 of the glass vial 1 and the cap 400 in such a manner that the inside of the guide ring 300 is fixed to the upper recess 30 of the glass vial 1, the lower inner peripheral surface of the cap 400 is coupled to the first fixing portion 310 of the guide ring 300, and the upper inner peripheral surface of the top cover 100 is coupled to the second fixing portion 320 of the guide ring 300.

[0057] 2, the guide ring 300 is coupled between the top cover 100 and the cap 400 of the glass bottle 1, thereby filling the gap between the top cover 100 and the cap 400 of the glass bottle 1. This eliminates the risk of foreign matter entering during cleaning.

[0058] Here, the first fixed portion 310 of the guide ring 300 may include a first protruding portion 311 and a second protruding portion 312, which are formed to protrude outward from the outer circumferential surface in a protruding arc shape compared to the overall shape of the first fixed portion 310. Here, the first protruding portion 311 may be formed on the upper part of the first fixed portion 310, and the second protruding portion 312 may be formed on the lower part of the first fixed portion 310 with a gap therebetween.

[0059] The second fixed portion 320 of the guide ring 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an arc-shaped mating groove 321 formed recessed inward from the outer circumferential surface and configured to couple with the guide ring coupling portion 120 of the upper cover 100.

[0060] The shape of the fixing portion formed on the outer peripheral surface of the guide ring 300 is not limited to this, and may be formed in various shapes to firmly connect the inner peripheral surfaces of the upper cover 100 and the cap 400 depending on the diameter and shape of the fixing portion on the inner peripheral surface of the upper cover 100 or the fixing portion on the inner peripheral surface of the cap 400.

[0061] For example, as shown in Fig. 5, the first fixing portion 310 of the guide ring 300a may be formed in an arc shape in the circumferential direction of the guide ring 300a and may include a plurality of protruding portions spaced apart at regular intervals in the height direction. Also, as shown in Fig. 6, the first fixing portion 310 of the guide ring 300b may include a first line fixing portion 315 including a plurality of protruding portions spaced apart at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the guide ring 300b, a second line fixing portion 316 including a plurality of protruding portions spaced apart at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the guide ring 300b, and a third line fixing portion 317 including a plurality of protruding portions spaced apart at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the guide ring 300b. Here, the protruding portions of the second line fixing portion 316 may be located at the bottom between the respective protruding portions of the first line fixing portion 315, and the protruding portions of the third line fixing portion 317 may be located at the bottom between the respective protruding portions of the second line fixing portion 316.

[0062] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the second fixing portion 320 of the guide ring 300 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface and fixed to cover the guide ring fixing portion 120 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the upper cover 100. In other words, the cover assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes all of various structures that can ensure airtightness and waterproofness by combining the guide ring 300 and the upper cover 100, and is not limited to a single embodiment.

[0063] For convenience of explanation, the following description will be based on an embodiment in which the second fixing portion 320 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the guide ring 300.

[0064] FIG. 7 shows a perspective view, a front view, and a plan view of a cap according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] The cap 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cap body 410, a protruding cap 420 integrally connected to the cap body 410 and formed at the lower part of the outer circumferential surface of the cap 400 so as to protrude outward from the outer circumferential surface, a first thread 430 formed at the upper part of the inner circumferential surface of the cap 400, and a second thread 440 formed at the lower part of the inner circumferential surface of the cap 400.

[0066] A first thread 430 formed on the upper part of the inner circumferential surface of the cap 400 engages with the glass vial thread 20 formed on the glass vial 1, and a second thread 440 formed on the lower part of the inner circumferential surface of the cap 400 engages with the first fixing portion 310 formed on the guide ring 300 to seal the glass vial 1. The second thread 440 does not have to be threadedly engaged with the first fixing portion 310 of the guide ring 300. Depending on the shape of the first fixing portion 310, various methods can be considered to ensure airtightness and waterproofness by tightly engaging the second thread 440 and the first fixing portion 310.

[0067] The cap 400 may further include a plurality of protrusions on the outer peripheral surface of the cap body 410 to facilitate opening and closing of the cap 400. The cap 400 may also include a cap insert 450 to improve sealing between the inner surface of the upper end of the cap 400 and the upper end of the opening 1000 of the glass bottle 1. Here, the material of the cap insert 450 may be Teflon (registered trademark).

[0068] Further scope of applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description set forth herein. However, it should be understood that the detailed description and specific embodiments, such as preferred embodiments, are given by way of example only, since various modifications and changes within the spirit and scope of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art.

[0069] The features and effects of the present invention described above will become more apparent through the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can easily implement the technical spirit of the present invention.
