Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of silicon wafer flower baskets, and in particular to a large-size silicon wafer flower basket structure. Background Art
[0002] Silicon wafers are basic materials in the semiconductor industry and are widely used in integrated circuits (ICs), optoelectronic devices, solar cells, and other fields. The following are several important aspects about silicon wafers:
[0003] Silicon wafers are thin slices made of high-purity single-crystal silicon materials, usually with a thickness between 200 microns and 1 mm, and common diameters of 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm, etc. The surface of the silicon wafer is smooth and has a high degree of flatness and finish, which is convenient for subsequent processes such as lithography, deposition and etching.
[0004] Large wafer baskets usually refer to carriers used in the manufacturing process of integrated circuits (ICs) or other semiconductor devices composed of multiple silicon wafers. Large wafer baskets are a type of equipment used to store, transport and handle multiple silicon wafers, and are typically used in semiconductor manufacturing and testing processes. The basket is designed to minimize physical contact with the silicon wafers to avoid scratches and contamination. In the silicon wafer cleaning process, the basket structure plays a vital role, mainly used to load, protect and optimize the cleaning process.
[0005] When cleaning silicon wafers, the existing silicon wafer basket neatly places the silicon wafers in the separation grooves of the basket. At this time, a blind area may be formed where the silicon wafers contact the basket, resulting in the cleaning liquid not being able to evenly cover the entire surface of the silicon wafer. As a result, some areas may not be cleaned thoroughly, leaving contaminants or residues, affecting subsequent processing.
