Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of wafer processing and relates to a fully automatic vacuum and oxygen-free oven. Background Art

[0002] A wafer is the basic material for manufacturing semiconductor chips. The most important raw material for semiconductor integrated circuits is silicon, so correspondingly it is a silicon wafer. In the prior art, during the process of producing wafers, it is often necessary to place the wafers into a baking device, and through the appropriate temperature of the baking tray, physical or chemical transformations such as the photoresist on the wafers are carried out, such as thermal curing and the like.

[0003] The baking of wafers is one of the processes in semiconductor processing. Currently, the most commonly used oven is a vacuum oven. Most of the existing vacuum ovens are single-chamber ovens with limited production capacity; they do not have an oxygen content detection function and do not meet the requirements of the prior art; they do not have an automatic product transfer function, which will affect the particle size problem in the chamber and lead to product scrapping; there is only external air duct air cooling for temperature reduction, and the cooling rate is relatively low; it requires manual opening and closing of the chamber door, consuming labor; most of the existing ovens are in the hot air circulation mode, occupying a large space, with complex sealing, and unable to achieve a vacuum environment.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a fully automatic vacuum and oxygen-free oven, which realizes the full-automatic and stable grasping and loading, vacuum pumping, heating, constant-temperature process baking, dual-mode cooling and unloading of wafers in an oxygen-free and high-precision temperature control environment through the cooperation of multiple sensors, mechanical linkage and gas-liquid cooling system. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above problems existing in the prior art and propose a fully automatic vacuum and oxygen-free oven. The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to realize the full-automatic and stable grasping and loading, vacuum pumping, heating, constant-temperature process baking, dual-mode cooling and unloading of wafers in an oxygen-free and high-precision temperature control environment through the cooperation of multiple sensors, mechanical linkage and gas-liquid cooling system.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0007] A fully automatic vacuum and oxygen-free oven, comprising an oven frame assembly, an EFEM frame assembly connected to the front side of the oven frame assembly, vacuum pump assemblies symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the oven frame assembly, and four equally spaced and evenly distributed wafer loaders located in front of the EFEM frame assembly. Four cavity assemblies and four automatic door assemblies are arranged at the four corners inside the oven frame assembly. Two cavity assemblies at the same height are symmetrically arranged left and right, and two automatic door assemblies at the same height are symmetrically arranged left and right. The positions of the automatic door assemblies correspond to those of the cavity assemblies, and the automatic door assemblies are located in front of the cavity assemblies. A robot transfer assembly and a machine control box are arranged inside the EFEM frame assembly. A main control machine is arranged on the left side of the EFEM frame assembly. The cavity assemblies are connected to the vacuum pump assemblies on the same side through air extraction pipelines, and the cavity assemblies are connected to an external high-purity nitrogen source.

[0008] Working principle of the present invention: An operator or an automated system places a wafer cassette on four equally spaced wafer loaders and prepares to enter the baking process; the EFEM frame assembly maintains a clean positive pressure environment inside to prevent external contamination from entering; the robotic transfer assembly grabs the wafer from the wafer loader; transports the wafer to the front of the automatic door assembly of the target chamber assembly and waits for the chamber to be ready; after receiving a signal, the automatic door assembly of the target chamber assembly opens, and the robotic transfer assembly sends the wafer into the chamber assembly. After the wafer is in place, the automatic door assembly immediately closes to ensure the sealing of the chamber assembly and prepares for vacuum pumping; the symmetrically distributed vacuum pump assemblies are started to quickly pump out the air in the chamber assembly to reach the set vacuum level. The temperature in the chamber assembly rises according to a preset temperature curve, and the main controller adjusts it in real time through the PID algorithm to ensure temperature control accuracy; the wafer completes processes such as baking, annealing, or drying in a constant temperature environment, and the time is set by the program; after the heating is completed, the chamber assembly stops heating and starts to cool down. After the wafer cools down naturally with the chamber assembly for 10 minutes, an external high-purity nitrogen source fills the chamber assembly with nitrogen to accelerate the cooling. After the cooling is completed; after reaching a safe temperature, an external high-purity nitrogen source fills the chamber assembly with nitrogen to restore normal pressure and prepares for wafer extraction; after the pressure in the chamber assembly is balanced, the automatic door assembly opens, and the robotic transfer assembly enters to grab the wafer that has completed the process and sends the wafer back to the designated position of the wafer loader to complete a processing cycle; the automatic door assembly closes, and the vacuum pump assemblies standby, waiting for the next batch of wafers to be sent in. If other chamber assemblies are idle, the robotic transfer assembly can process multiple wafers in parallel to improve efficiency; the nitrogen chamber process flow is optional: if required by the process, high-purity nitrogen can be introduced to replace the residual oxygen to ensure an oxygen-free environment, that is, after the wafer transfer is completed, the automatic door assembly closes, the vacuum pump assembly is started to pump vacuum. After the oxygen content and pressure value reach the standard, the set temperature and flow opening are set, and then the heating starts. After the process is completed, the external air duct air-cooling blower is turned on, the heating tube stops heating, and the cooling starts. After the cooling is completed, the automatic door assembly opens, and the robotic transfer assembly takes out the wafer from the chamber assembly; the whole process runs automatically and is jointly controlled by the main controller and the machine control box to ensure a high-precision, oxygen-free, and pollution-free process environment.

[0009] The oven frame assembly includes an oven frame main body. Inside the oven frame main body, there are four independent cavity placement areas distributed at the four corners. Inside the oven frame main body, there are water-cooling units symmetrically arranged on both sides. Four blowers are fixed inside the oven frame main body. On both the left and right sides of the oven frame main body, there are several through-board connection pipes evenly distributed at equal intervals up and down. A liquid leakage detection component is provided at the bottom side inside the oven frame main body.

[0010] With the above structure, the oven frame body is the supporting core structure, which is internally divided into four independent cavity placement areas, each area accommodating a cavity component to achieve multi-wafer parallel processing; the water cooling unit is used for cooling the cavity component and cooling the evacuated hot gas to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment; four blowers respectively correspond to the cavity placement areas, used for cooling the cavity component and accelerating the cooling of the wafer; the external high-purity nitrogen gas source of the through-board connecting pipe is used to connect the vacuum pump component, nitrogen, gas injection system and electrical circuit to ensure the integration and sealing of the functional modules, and the liquid leakage detection component monitors whether the bottom of the oven frame body leaks coolant or chemical liquid to trigger an alarm to protect the safety of the wafer.

[0011] The cavity component includes two cavity support frames, the two cavity support frames are fixed at the lower ends of the cavity placement areas at corresponding positions, mica heat insulation plates are fixed at the upper ends of the two cavity support frames, a hollow furnace cavity is fixed at the upper ends of the two mica heat insulation plates, the hollow furnace cavity is a box body with an opening at the front side, a hollow air duct is formed between the inner cavity wall and the outermost wall of the hollow furnace cavity, heating pipe shields are arranged on the upper, lower, left and right sides inside the hollow furnace cavity, a heating interval is formed between the heating pipe shield and the hollow furnace cavity, heating pipe fittings are arranged inside the heating interval, thermocouple fixing blocks are arranged on the left and right sides inside the hollow furnace cavity, an adjustment substrate is arranged at the upper end of the lower heating pipe shield, a metal boat is detachably arranged at the upper end of the adjustment substrate, air inlet pipes and exhaust pipes are arranged on the outer side parts of the hollow furnace cavity, the air inlet pipes and the exhaust pipes are both communicated with the hollow air duct of the hollow furnace cavity to form a heat dissipation channel, the air inlet pipe is connected to the air outlet end of the blower at the same position, a flow regulating blade is rotatably arranged inside the exhaust pipe, an electric butterfly valve is arranged on the exhaust pipe, and the control shaft of the electric butterfly valve is in transmission connection with the rotating shaft of the flow regulating blade; a sealing ring and a water jacket pipe are arranged at the front side opening of the hollow furnace cavity, the sealing ring abuts against the outer side of the water jacket pipe, and two water guide pipes are connected between the water jacket pipes of the two cavity components and the water cooling unit on the same side.

[0012] With the above structure, the cavity support frame provides mechanical support to ensure the stability of the hollow furnace cavity. The mica heat insulation board isolates the heat conduction downward from the heating area, protecting the main body of the oven frame and the equipment below. The heating pipe fittings are evenly distributed in the heating area formed by the heating pipe shield and the inner wall of the hollow furnace cavity. After being powered on, they radiate heat to form a uniform temperature field. The thermocouple fixing block is used to fix the thermocouple, monitor the temperature of the hollow furnace cavity in real time and feedback it to the main control unit to achieve precise PID temperature control. The metal boat and the adjustment substrate can be quickly replaced to adapt to different process requirements. The metal boat ensures a constant distance between the wafer and the heating pipe fittings to avoid uneven heating. The sealing ring and the automatic door assembly are pressed together to form an airtight seal to prevent air leakage. The water jacket pipe surrounds the opening of the hollow furnace cavity, and the internal circulating cooling water is connected to the water cooling unit through the water guiding pipe to reduce the temperature of the sealing ring, prevent high-temperature aging and ensure long-term sealing reliability. The blower injects cold air into the hollow air duct of the hollow furnace cavity through the air inlet pipe. The air flow takes away the heat through the heating area. The regulating blade of the exhaust pipe adjusts the opening degree through the electric butterfly valve to control the exhaust rate and achieve gradient cooling. The hot air is discharged from the exhaust pipe to ensure efficient heat dissipation. The water cooling unit synchronously cools the outer wall of the furnace cavity to avoid thermal deformation.

[0013] A cavity vacuum pipeline, a nitrogen pipeline, a transmitter pipeline, two symmetrically arranged four-core thermocouple pipelines and eight hollow pipelines are provided at the rear side of the hollow furnace cavity and are connected to it. The cavity vacuum pipeline is sequentially connected with an oxygen analyzer and a baffle valve. The nitrogen pipeline is sequentially connected with a high-vacuum solenoid valve, an MFC, a medium-vacuum solenoid valve and a combination unit and then connected to an external high-purity nitrogen source. A pressure transmitter is connected to the transmitter pipeline. A number of circumferentially distributed bendable thermocouple wires are arranged inside each of the four-core thermocouple pipelines. The bendable thermocouple wires are fixed on the thermocouple fixing blocks on the same side. A welded knife-edge flange is fixed at the end of the hollow pipeline. External threaded tension bolts are arranged inside each of the hollow pipelines. The external threaded tension bolts are sleeved on the heating pipe fittings, and the ends of the external threaded tension bolts extend out of the welded knife-edge flange. An oxygen-free copper gasket sealing ring is sleeved on the external threaded tension bolts. The oxygen-free copper gasket sealing ring is located inside the hollow pipeline and abuts between the external threaded tension bolt and the welded knife-edge flange. A pull plate flange is screwed on the external threaded tension bolt. The pull plate flange abuts on the welded knife-edge flange to externally tension the external threaded tension bolt. Insulating rings are arranged at the ends of the heating pipe fittings. Two self-locking nuts are screwed at the ends of the heating pipe fittings. The inner self-locking nut abuts and locks on the insulating ring.

[0014] With the above structure, the cavity vacuum pipeline is connected to the vacuum pump assembly to create a vacuum environment for the gas in the hollow furnace cavity. The oxygen analyzer monitors the residual oxygen concentration in the cavity in real time to ensure an oxygen-free process condition. The baffle valve regulates the gas flow during vacuum pumping or vacuum breaking. In case of emergency, it can quickly cut off the pipeline to protect the vacuum pump assembly and prevent vacuum backflow. The nitrogen gas pipeline is connected to an external high-purity nitrogen gas source, used to flush the hollow furnace cavity before the process to stably control the replacement of residual oxygen, and stably control the injection of nitrogen during vacuum breaking after the process to avoid the oxidation of the wafer when it comes into contact with air. The pressure transmitter detects the real-time pressure of the furnace cavity through the transmitter pipe and feeds it back to the main control unit to jointly control the vacuum pump assembly and nitrogen injection. The four-core thermocouple pipes arranged symmetrically on the left and right contain multiple bendable thermocouple wires, which extend into the furnace cavity and are fixed to the thermocouple fixing blocks to monitor the temperature distribution of the furnace cavity at multiple points, such as the temperature difference between the center and the edge, to ensure that the temperature field uniformity is within ±1°C and prevent the temperature from changing due to position deviation. The welded knife-edge flange is fixed at the end of the hollow pipe and connected to an external power supply / cooling system. The oxygen-free copper gasket seal is placed inside the hollow pipe and pressed against the welded knife-edge flange by the externally threaded tightening bolts to achieve vacuum sealing with high temperature resistance and anti-creep properties. The pull plate flange is screwed onto the tightening bolts to apply tension from the outside to enhance the sealing pressure. The insulating ring isolates the heating pipe fittings from the metal structure of the furnace cavity to prevent short circuits. The self-locking nut: a double-nut design, with the inner nut locking the insulating ring and the outer nut preventing loosening, ensuring that the heating pipe does not displace under vibration and thermal expansion and contraction. During the vacuum pumping stage, the baffle valve opens, and the vacuum pump assembly pumps air through the cavity vacuum pipeline. The oxygen analyzer monitors the oxygen concentration, and the pressure transmitter feeds back the vacuum degree. During the nitrogen replacement stage, if the oxygen analyzer detects residual oxygen, the main control unit opens the nitrogen gas pipeline valve to inject nitrogen to flush the furnace cavity. During the heating stage, the heating pipe fittings are energized to generate heat, and the bendable thermocouple wires monitor the temperature in real time. The main control unit dynamically adjusts the power. At the end of the process stage, nitrogen is injected through the nitrogen gas pipeline to break the vacuum. After the pressure transmitter confirms normal pressure, the automatic door assembly opens. The combination of the welded knife-edge flange and the oxygen-free copper gasket adapts to extreme high-temperature vacuum working conditions. Precise temperature control: multiple thermocouple monitoring + zoned heating pipe adjustment to meet the stringent requirements of semiconductor processes for temperature uniformity. Dual monitoring by the oxygen analyzer and the pressure transmitter to avoid process abnormalities.

When the limit sensor triggers a stop signal, the door panel is fully opened, and the robot transfer component can access the wafers; during the door closing and sealing stage, the moving frame slides in the reverse direction, causing the door panel to cover the door opening; the pushing cylinder extends to push the sealed inner door panel against the sealing ring to form a vacuum seal; when opening the door after the process is completed, after breaking the vacuum, the pushing cylinder retracts to relieve the sealing pressure and prepare for the next cycle; the sealing ring extends out of the door opening and forms an airtight seal when pressed against the sealed inner door panel to ensure a vacuum environment; the limit sensors are installed on the left and right sides of the upper slide rail to detect the extreme positions of the moving frame and prevent over-travel collision; the heat-insulating outer door panel is made of high-temperature resistant materials such as ceramic fiber to isolate the heat in the furnace cavity from being transferred to the outside and protect external components; the drag chain trough plate is located at the lower part of the lower slide rail to accommodate the cylinder air pipes and sensor cables to avoid entanglement and wear.

After the wafer is in place, the automatic door assembly 6 immediately closes to ensure the sealing of the chamber assembly 7 and prepares for vacuum pumping. Four can operate simultaneously and separately to handle different situations and increase production value; the symmetrically distributed vacuum pump assemblies 5 are started to quickly extract the air inside the chamber assembly 7 to reach the set vacuum level, and the temperature inside the chamber assembly 7 rises according to the preset temperature curve, which is adjusted in real time by the main controller 4 using the PID algorithm to ensure temperature control accuracy; the wafer completes processes such as baking, annealing, or drying in a constant temperature environment, and the time is set by the program; after the heating ends, the chamber assembly 7 stops heating and starts to cool down.

After the cooling ends; after reaching a safe temperature, the external high-purity nitrogen source flushes nitrogen into the chamber assembly 7 to restore normal pressure and prepares for wafer extraction; after the pressure inside the chamber assembly 7 is balanced, the automatic door assembly 6 opens, and the robotic transfer assembly 8 enters to grab the wafer that has completed the process and sends the wafer back to the designated position on the wafer loader 3, completing one processing cycle; the automatic door assembly 6 closes, and the vacuum pump assemblies 5 standby, waiting for the next batch of wafers to be sent in. If other chamber assemblies 7 are idle, the robotic transfer assembly 8 can process multiple wafers in parallel to improve efficiency; the nitrogen chamber process flow is optional: if required by the process, high-purity nitrogen can be introduced to replace the residual oxygen to ensure an oxygen-free environment, that is, after the wafer transfer ends, the automatic door assembly 6 closes, the vacuum pump assemblies 5 are started to pump vacuum. After the oxygen content and pressure value reach the standard, the set temperature and flow opening are set, and the heating starts. After the process is completed, the external air duct air-cooling blower is turned on, the heating tube stops heating, and the cooling starts. After the cooling ends, the automatic door assembly 6 opens, and the robotic transfer assembly 8 takes out the wafer from the chamber assembly 7; the entire process runs automatically and is jointly controlled by the main controller 4 and the machine control box 48 to ensure a high-precision, oxygen-free, and pollution-free process environment.

[0048] The cavity component 7 includes two cavity support frames 23, and the two cavity support frames 23 are fixed at the lower ends of the cavity placement areas 10 at corresponding positions. Mica heat insulation plates 24 are fixed at the upper ends of the two cavity support frames 23, and a hollow furnace cavity 25 is fixed at the upper ends of the two mica heat insulation plates 24. The hollow furnace cavity 25 is a box body with an opening at the front side. A hollow air duct is formed between the inner cavity wall and the outermost wall of the hollow furnace cavity 25. Heating tube shields 30 are provided on the upper, lower, left and right sides inside the hollow furnace cavity 25, and a heating interval is formed between the heating tube shields 30 and the hollow furnace cavity 25.

Two water guide pipes are connected between the water jacket pipes 33 of the two cavity components 7 and the water cooling unit on the same side.

[0049] The cavity support frame 23 provides mechanical support to ensure the stability of the hollow furnace cavity 25. The mica heat insulation plate 24 isolates the heat conduction downward from the heating area to protect the oven frame body 9 and the equipment below. The heating pipe fittings 29 are evenly distributed in the heating area formed by the heating pipe shield 30 and the inner wall of the hollow furnace cavity 25. After being powered on, they radiate heat to form a uniform temperature field. The thermocouple fixing block is used to fix the thermocouple, monitor the temperature of the hollow furnace cavity 25 in real time and feedback it to the main control machine 4 to achieve precise PID temperature control. The metal boat and the adjustment substrate 31 can be quickly replaced to adapt to different process requirements. The metal boat ensures a constant distance between the wafer and the heating pipe fittings 29 to avoid uneven heating. The sealing ring 32 forms an airtight seal after being pressed with the automatic door assembly 6 to prevent air leakage. The water jacket pipe 33 surrounds the opening of the hollow furnace cavity 25, and the cooling water circulates inside. It is connected to the water cooling unit through the water guiding pipe to reduce the temperature of the sealing ring 32, prevent high-temperature aging, and ensure long-term sealing reliability. The blower 11 injects cold air into the hollow air duct of the hollow furnace cavity 25 through the air inlet pipe 26. The air flow takes away heat through the heating area. The adjustment blades of the exhaust pipe 28 adjust the opening degree through the electric butterfly valve 27 to control the exhaust rate and achieve gradient cooling. The hot air is discharged from the exhaust pipe 28 to ensure efficient heat dissipation. The water cooling unit cools the outer wall of the furnace cavity synchronously to avoid thermal deformation.

[0050] At the rear side of the hollow furnace cavity 25, there are a cavity vacuum pipe, a nitrogen gas pipeline 39, a transmitter pipe, two symmetrically arranged four-core thermocouple pipes 35 and eight hollow pipes 34 connected thereto. The cavity vacuum pipe is sequentially connected with an oxygen analyzer 38 and a baffle valve 36. The nitrogen gas pipeline 39 is sequentially connected with a high-vacuum solenoid valve, an MFC, a medium-vacuum solenoid valve and a duplex unit and then connected to an external high-purity nitrogen gas source. A pressure transmitter 37 is connected to the transmitter pipe. Inside each of the four-core thermocouple pipes 35, there are several circumferentially evenly distributed bendable thermocouple wires 72. The bendable thermocouple wires 72 are fixed on the thermocouple fixing blocks 73 on the same side. At the end of each hollow pipe 34, there is a welded knife-edge flange 40. Inside each hollow pipe 34, there is an externally threaded tension bolt. The externally threaded tension bolt is sleeved on the heating pipe fitting 29, and the end of the externally threaded tension bolt extends out of the welded knife-edge flange 40. An oxygen-free copper gasket sealing ring 42 is sleeved on the externally threaded tension bolt. The oxygen-free copper gasket sealing ring 42 is located inside the hollow pipe 34, and the oxygen-free copper gasket sealing ring 42 abuts between the externally threaded tension bolt and the welded knife-edge flange 40.

At the end of each heating pipe fitting 29, there is an insulating ring. Two self-locking nuts are screwed on the end of each heating pipe fitting 29. The inner self-locking nut abuts and locks on the insulating ring.

[0051] The cavity vacuum pipeline is connected to the vacuum pump assembly 5 to create a vacuum environment for the gas in the hollow furnace cavity 25. The oxygen analyzer 38 monitors the residual oxygen concentration in the cavity in real time to ensure an oxygen-free process condition. The baffle valve 36 adjusts the air flow during vacuum pumping or vacuum breaking. In case of emergency, it can quickly cut off the pipeline to protect the vacuum pump assembly 5 and prevent vacuum backflow. The nitrogen pipeline 39 is connected to an external high-purity nitrogen source, used for flushing the hollow furnace cavity 25 before the process to stably control the replacement of residual oxygen, and stably control the injection of nitrogen when breaking the vacuum after the process to avoid oxidation of the wafer when it contacts the air. The pressure transmitter 37 detects the real-time pressure in the furnace cavity through the transmitter pipe and feeds it back to the main control unit 4 to jointly control the vacuum pump assembly 5 and nitrogen injection. The four-core thermocouple tubes 35 arranged symmetrically on the left and right contain multiple bendable thermocouple wires 72, which extend into the furnace cavity and are fixed to the thermocouple fixing block 73 to monitor the temperature distribution in the furnace cavity at multiple points, such as the temperature difference between the center and the edge, to ensure that the temperature field uniformity is within ±1°C and prevent the temperature from changing due to position deviation. The welded knife-edge flange 40 is fixed at the end of the hollow pipe 34 and is connected to an external power supply / cooling system. The oxygen-free copper gasket seal 42 is placed inside the hollow pipe 34 and is pressed against the welded knife-edge flange 40 by the externally threaded tightening bolt to achieve high-temperature vacuum sealing, high temperature resistance, and anti-creep. The pull plate flange 41 is screwed onto the tightening bolt to apply tension from the outside to enhance the sealing pressure. The insulating ring isolates the heating pipe fitting 29 from the metal structure of the furnace cavity to prevent short circuits. Self-locking nut: double nut design, the inner nut locks the insulating ring, and the outer nut prevents loosening to ensure that the heating pipe does not displace under vibration and thermal expansion and contraction. During the vacuum pumping stage, the baffle valve 36 is opened, and the vacuum pump assembly 5 pumps air through the cavity vacuum pipeline. The oxygen analyzer 38 monitors the oxygen concentration, and the pressure transmitter 37 feeds back the vacuum degree. During the nitrogen replacement stage, if the oxygen analyzer detects residual oxygen, the main control unit 4 opens the valve of the nitrogen pipeline 39 to inject nitrogen to flush the furnace cavity. During the heating stage, the heating pipe fitting 29 is energized to generate heat, and the bendable thermocouple wire 72 monitors the temperature in real time, and the main control unit dynamically adjusts the power. At the end of the process, nitrogen is injected through the nitrogen pipeline 39 to break the vacuum. After the pressure transmitter 37 confirms normal pressure, the automatic door assembly 6 is opened. The combination of the welded knife-edge flange and the oxygen-free copper gasket is suitable for extreme high-temperature vacuum working conditions. Precise temperature control: multi-thermocouple monitoring + zone heating pipe adjustment to meet the demanding requirements of semiconductor processes for temperature uniformity. Dual monitoring by the oxygen analyzer and the pressure transmitter to avoid process abnormalities.

Vacuum adsorption: The suction cup air pipe 67 is connected to the vacuum, and the suction cup 66 adsorbs the non-functional area at the back edge of the wafer. Wafer transfer: Joint coordinated movement, the composite movement of the first robotic arm 62 and the second robotic arm 63 transfers the wafer from the wafer loader 3, through the EFEM clean area, to the cavity component 7. The motion trajectory is planned by the machine control box 48 to avoid collision with other components inside the EFEM.

[0067] Automatic door assembly 6 opens: During the door opening preparation stage, the push cylinder 17 retracts and extends, pulling the heat-insulating outer door panel 18 and the sealed inner door panel 20 away from the sealing ring 32. During the horizontal door movement stage, the position adjustment cylinder 14 acts to slide the moving frame 16 horizontally along the slide rail 15, driving the heat-insulating outer door panel 18 and the sealed inner door panel 20 to move horizontally away from the door opening 21. The limit sensor 22 triggers a stop signal when the door panel is fully opened.

[0068] Wafer placement: The metal boat and the adjustment substrate 31 can be quickly replaced to adapt to different process requirements. For wafer placement, fine height adjustment is performed by the electric lifting screw rod part 56 to compensate for the height difference between the cavity component 7 and the wafer loader 3. After the automatic door assembly 6 is opened, the wafer is sent into the cavity component 7. To release the wafer, the suction cup air pipe 67 closes the vacuum, and the suction cup 66 releases the wafer onto the metal boat. The transfer robotic arm part 57 returns to the initial posture, and the lifting seat 60 descends to the standby height to prepare for the next transfer.

[0069] Automatic door assembly 6 closes: The moving frame 16 slides in the reverse direction to cover the door opening 21 with the door panel. The push cylinder 17 extends to push the sealed inner door panel 20 to press against the sealing ring 32 to form a vacuum seal.

[0070] Vacuum environment establishment: The baffle valve 36 is opened, and the vacuum pump 71 operates. The vacuum pump 71 evacuates the air through the cavity vacuum pipeline. The oxygen analyzer 38 monitors the oxygen concentration, and the pressure transmitter 37 feeds back the vacuum degree, quickly reducing the internal pressure of the cavity component 7 from atmospheric pressure to the low vacuum range. The hot gas in the evacuation pipeline is cooled by the water cooling unit. If an oxygen-free environment is required, the nitrogen gas pipeline 39 is connected to an external high-purity nitrogen gas source to flush the hollow furnace cavity 25 before the process and stably control the replacement of the residual oxygen.

[0071] Heating and process execution: The heating tube 29 is heated according to a preset curve. The heating tube 29 is evenly distributed in the heating zone formed by the heating tube shield 30 and the inner wall of the hollow furnace chamber 25. After power is turned on, it radiates heat to form a uniform temperature field. The four-core thermocouple tube 35 arranged symmetrically on the left and right has multiple bendable thermocouple wires 72 built in, extending to the inside of the furnace chamber and fixed to the thermocouple fixing block 73. The temperature distribution of the furnace chamber, such as the center / edge temperature difference, is monitored at multiple points to ensure that the temperature field uniformity is within ±1°C and prevent the temperature from changing due to position deviation. The wafer completes the baking, annealing or drying processes in a constant temperature environment on the metal boat, and the time is set by the program;

[0072] Cooling and breaking vacuum: After heating stops, the blower 11 injects cold air into the hollow air duct of the hollow furnace cavity 25 through the air inlet pipe 26. The airflow takes away the heat through the heating interval. The regulating blade of the exhaust pipe 28 is adjusted through the electric butterfly valve 27 to control the exhaust rate and achieve gradient cooling. The hot air is discharged from the exhaust pipe 28 to ensure efficient heat dissipation. The water cooling unit cools the outer wall of the furnace cavity synchronously to avoid thermal deformation. After the temperature drops to a safe value, the nitrogen pipeline 39 is connected to an external high-purity nitrogen source to flush the hollow furnace cavity 25. The nitrogen injection restores the normal pressure, stably controls the replacement of residual oxygen, avoids the wafer from contacting the air for oxidation, and accelerates the cooling at the same time.

[0073] Wafer removal and resetting: After the pressure in the chamber assembly 7 is balanced, the vacuum pump 71 is closed and put on standby, the automatic door assembly 6 is opened, the robot transfer assembly 8 enters to grab the wafers that have completed the process, and sends the wafers back to the designated position of the wafer loader 3 to complete a processing cycle. The automatic door assembly 6 is closed, and the vacuum pump assembly 5 is on standby, waiting for the next batch of wafers to be delivered. If other chamber assemblies 7 are idle, the robot transfer assembly 8 can process multiple wafers in parallel to improve efficiency.

[0074] The nitrogen chamber process flow is optional: if the process requires, the nitrogen pipeline 39 is connected to an external high-purity nitrogen source, and the high-purity nitrogen can be stably controlled to replace the residual oxygen to ensure an oxygen-free environment. After the wafer transfer is completed, the automatic door component 6 is closed, and the vacuum pump component 5 is turned on to evacuate. After the oxygen content and pressure values ​​meet the standards, the temperature and flow opening are set, and the temperature is started to rise. After the process flow is completed, the external air duct air-cooling blower is turned on, the heating tube stops heating, and the temperature is lowered. After the temperature is lowered, the automatic door component 6 is opened, and the robot transfer component 8 takes out the wafer from the chamber component 7;

[0075] The whole process is fully automatic and is controlled by the main control machine 4 and the machine control box 48 to ensure a high-precision, oxygen-free and pollution-free process environment.

[0076] Safety and Monitoring: The bottom liquid leakage tray detects liquid leakage, triggers audible and visual alarms and stops operation. All process data is recorded by the main control system, and the process is automatically terminated in case of anomalies. Throughout the process, through the cooperation of multiple sensors, mechanical linkage and gas-liquid cooling system, the full-automatic processing of wafers in an oxygen-free and high-precision temperature-controlled environment is realized.

[0077] In summary, the robot transfer component 8 is used to stably grasp and release wafers, realizing fast and lossless transfer of wafers between the wafer loader 3 and the chamber component 7, providing an efficient automation foundation for the vacuum oxygen-free process, and being the core execution mechanism to ensure the equipment throughput and process yield; through the cooperation of the oven frame component 1, the automatic door component 6 and the chamber component 7, a stable vacuum and oxygen-free environment is maintained; the chamber component 7 adopts multi-zone heating to ensure the uniformity of the temperature field, avoid stress deformation of the wafers, adopts a dual-mode of air cooling and water cooling to improve the equipment throughput, and the automatic door component 6 and the chamber component 7 cooperate with good sealing performance and are convenient for wafer loading and unloading; the chamber component 7 is linked with the vacuum pump component 5 to perform vacuum pumping after sealing is completed, and the chamber component 7 is connected to an external high-purity nitrogen source to perform accelerated cooling or return to normal pressure; the automatic door component 6 is synchronized with the robot transfer component 8, and the fully open signal of the door panel is used as the permission condition for the robot transfer component 8 to transfer wafers; the chamber component 7 cooperates with the oxygen analyzer 38, and if the sealing fails and the oxygen content increases, an alarm is immediately triggered and the process is terminated; through the cooperation of the EFEM frame body 43 and the FFU filter chassis 45, continuous downward delivery of clean air is realized to provide a clean environment for wafer transfer; the liquid leakage detection component ensures that expensive wafers and precision equipment in semiconductor manufacturing are protected from liquid leakage damage through real-time monitoring and rapid response; throughout the process, through the cooperation of multiple sensors, mechanical linkage and gas-liquid cooling system, the full-automatic processes of wafer loading, vacuum pumping, heating, constant-temperature process treatment, cooling, and wafer unloading are realized in an oxygen-free and high-precision temperature-controlled environment.
