Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor production, in particular to a cleaning device for producing semiconductor chips. Background Art

[0002] Wafers are silicon chips used in the manufacture of silicon semiconductor integrated circuits. During the semiconductor production process, wafers are placed in wafer boxes, which are then transported to different loading ports (Loadport) by the AMHS (Automatic Material Handling System). After a period of time, dust will remain on the surface of the carrier, affecting the yield of the wafer products.

Air from the central dust blowing slit of the dust removal head (working gun) diffuses to either side, where two suction slit air curtains are installed on each side to draw away dust. The suction slits on either side form a suction air curtain, preventing dust from escaping the dust blowing gun, improving cleaning efficiency and enhancing the automation level of the equipment.
