Although most of the process gases mentioned above will be discharged from the chamber during the process, even after being ejected from the chamber (Chamber), some will remain on the surface of the substrate, which will affect the substrate or cause pollution to the equipment used in the process, which becomes a problem.

[0003] Patent document with application number "CN201110045509.4" discloses a method for manufacturing a semiconductor element, which can eliminate the influence of parasitic elements and prevent the on-state voltage from increasing. A groove (3) is formed on the front surface of a semiconductor substrate, which penetrates the base region and reaches the drift region (1). Next, a gate electrode (5) is buried in the groove (3) through a gate insulating film (4) so ​​as not to reach the same height as the surface of the base region (2), thereby forming a second recess. Next, an interlayer insulating film (7) is formed in a manner buried in the second recess.

However, by etching, the surface layer of the base region (2) is removed until the surface of the base region (2) is located at a position lower than the interface between the gate electrode (5) and the interlayer insulating film (7), thereby forming a first recess (6). Next, a source electrode (8) is buried in the first recess (6).

The branch pipe 46 and the injection assembly 50 are inserted into the component placement assembly 30, and the injection assembly 50 is provided with a number of uniformly distributed injection holes 501 along the part of the component placement assembly 30; the exhaust gas discharge assembly 200 includes an upper connection cavity 60, an exhaust amplification assembly 70, and a lower exhaust pipeline 80, the upper connection cavity 60 is connected to the component placement assembly 30 and is used to guide the exhaust gas, the exhaust amplification assembly 70 is respectively connected to the upper connection cavity 60 and the lower exhaust pipeline 80, and the exhaust amplification assembly 70 is provided with an air supply fan 701. On the semiconductor etching equipment, after the substrate engineering is carried out, the residual gas on the surface is exposed to the atmosphere and reacts with the gas (Gas) in the atmosphere to form moisture. On the one hand, the present application adopts a nitrogen supply assembly 100 to spray nitrogen supplied at a certain temperature and pressure to the component placement assembly 30, and on the other hand, the exhaust gas discharge assembly 200 is used to remove the polluted gas, thereby solving the problem of residual corrosion of the polluted gas to the semiconductor components.

[0037] Specifically, spraying heated nitrogen (N2) can suppress the formation of surface moisture, thereby removing the generated moisture. When nitrogen (N2) gas is sprayed, it is supplied at a certain temperature and pressure. When the pressure regulator and gas are sprayed, the pressure and temperature of the end nozzle (Nozzle) are measured to achieve uniform spraying.

[0038] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the plug-in board is divided into an inner plug-in board 32 and two side plug-in boards 33, and the two side plug-in boards 33 are arranged on both sides of the inner plug-in board 32. Specifically, the upper housing assembly 10 prevents the substrate storage part from being impacted and interfered with from the outside, and also includes a window through which the substrate can be observed from the outside. In order to prevent the air inside the EFEM from flowing to the outside, the lower housing assembly 20 has a blocking function and prevents the internal device from being impacted and interfered with from the outside.

[0039] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the inner plug-in plate 32 and the side plug-in plate 33 are both provided with a plurality of plug-in slots.

[0040] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the semiconductor element manufacturing mechanism for preventing residual polluted gas from corroding the substrate further includes a side control component 90.

[0041] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the upper connecting cavity 60 is fan-shaped, and the large end of the upper connecting cavity 60 is connected to the component placement assembly 30. The upper connecting cavity 60 is a funnel for collecting polluted residual gas.

[0042] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the upper connection chamber 60 is provided with a gas humidity measuring device 61 and a pressure difference measuring device 62. A space for gathering gas is provided at the beginning of exhaust, so that a large amount of discharged polluted gas can be collected. A humidity sensor is installed, and by measuring the humidity of the discharged gas, the humidity inside the substrate storage unit can be indirectly measured.

[0043] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the exhaust amplifier component 70 is provided with an air supply fan 701, and the exhaust amplifier component 70 is provided with an arc channel 71 along the length direction that utilizes the Coanda effect for amplification. Specifically, the Coanda effect refers to the phenomenon that a fluid tends to flow along a curved surface rather than a straight line. Fluid adhesion: When a fluid approaches a curved surface, the fluid pressure decreases due to the surface curvature, causing the fluid to adhere to the surface and flow. Wide application: The Coanda effect has important applications in many fields, such as aviation, automobiles and fluid machinery design. An amplifier utilizing the Coanda effect is installed at the exhaust port to reduce the surface pressure and increase the exhaust. When the exhaust increases, in order to maintain a certain constant pressure difference inside, the air volume of the amplifier is controlled by a motor fan instead of compressed air, because the air volume supplied can be actively adjusted. The exhaust amplifier is installed in the exhaust pipe and is made by utilizing the Coanda effect. According to the principle that the fluid will speed up when flowing along the surface, the exhaust speed is accelerated, so that the exhaust is increased. Specifically, the air supply fan 701 is a device that supplies air to the exhaust amplifier, and adjusts the amount of supplied air according to the set value of the differential pressure of the main control device.

[0044] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, a basic position sensor 101 is provided on the top of the upper housing assembly 10. In order to confirm the number of the substrates entering and leaving the substrate storage unit, a sensor capable of detecting the distance, i.e., the basic position sensor 101, is installed at the entrance side of the storage unit, and the number of the corresponding loading unit can be confirmed according to the height of each substrate measured.

[0045] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the upper and lower sides of the component placement assembly 30 are respectively provided with an upper reflector 35 and a lower reflector 34. The reflector is a device for confirming the substrate position determination device, and is a device for determining whether the substrate is placed in the correct position when the substrate is loaded inside the storage unit. When out of position, the main control device of the side control assembly No. 90 will light up a red light to prevent damage to the substrate.

[0046] In the first aspect of the present invention, as a preferred embodiment, the component placement assembly 30 is provided with a placement cavity 31 , and side observation windows 311 are provided on both sides of the placement cavity 31 .

[0047] Specifically, the lower part of the lower housing assembly 20 is provided with a roller 21 and an adjustment foot 22. By adjusting the temperature and pressure of the nitrogen (N2) gas, the humidity inside the storage unit can be adjusted and the pollutants can be effectively discharged. The air flow of the amplifier is adjusted to identify the internal and external pressure difference, and the temperature, pressure, temperature, humidity, etc. associated with it are recorded in the internal storage device, which can be used for engineering analysis and real-time transmission.

[0048] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
