[0037] In addition, if the terms "first", "second" and the like appear, they are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0039] In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, the storage and transportation of wafers is a crucial link, and the storage and transportation of wafers is usually carried out through a wafer box (such as FOUP, FOSB, etc.). However, after the semiconductor device undergoes different processes, various contaminants such as solid particles and organic matter will be generated on the surface of the semiconductor device, and the wafer stored in the wafer box will be contaminated, so the wafer box needs to be cleaned regularly.

[0040] In view of the problem that the cover after cleaning is not convenient to dry in the current wafer box cleaning process, the present application provides a wafer box loading rack and a wafer box processing equipment. The overall structure, working principle and technical effects of the wafer box loading rack and wafer box processing equipment provided by the present application will be introduced in detail below through examples and in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] First, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the wafer box includes a box body (not shown in the drawings) and a cover 100 that can be buckled to each other. When the wafer box is used to accommodate wafers, the box body and the cover 100 are closed to facilitate the storage and transportation of wafers, so as to simplify the transportation, reduce the risk of wafer contamination as much as possible, and avoid wafer damage during transportation as much as possible; when the wafers in the wafer box need to be taken out or stored in the wafer box, the box body and the cover 100 are separated, or when the wafer box needs to be cleaned or dried, the box body and the cover 100 are separated to achieve better cleaning or drying effect of the wafer box.

[0042] On the one hand, please refer to Figures 3-9 , the present application provides a wafer box processing equipment applied in the field of semiconductor manufacturing to clean and dry the wafer box loaded with wafers, so as to avoid the contamination of the wafer box by the contaminants generated on the wafer after different processes, thereby causing secondary pollution of the wafers when the wafer box is loaded with wafers.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 , the wafer box processing equipment provided by the present application includes a cleaning mechanism, a drying mechanism, a wafer box loading rack 200 and a rotating mechanism. The wafer box loading rack 200 is used to accommodate the box body and the cover 100 of the wafer box, and the wafer box loading rack 200 is installed on the rotating mechanism and can rotate around the vertical center axis of the rotating mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is used to provide cleaning liquid to clean the rotating box body and cover 100 loaded on the wafer box loading rack 200. The drying mechanism is used to provide clean airflow to dry the cleaned box body and cover 100.

[0044] In actual use, it is found that when the cassette loading rack 200 rotates along the vertical central axis following the rotating mechanism, the cleaning liquid inside and outside the box body is thrown out under the action of the centrifugal force generated by rotation. The cover body 100 has a hollow structure, and the inside and outside of the cover body 100 are provided with a plurality of special-shaped structures due to the need. After the cover body 100 is cleaned, the cleaning liquid near the special-shaped structures, especially the cleaning liquid inside the cover body 100, cannot be thrown out due to the existence of the special-shaped structures, resulting in that when the cover body 100 is covered on the box body containing the clean wafer after completing the cleaning and drying processes, the cover body 100 will have cleaning liquid dripping, causing secondary pollution to the clean wafer.

[0045] Based on this, in order to solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 2-4 The present application also provides a cassette loading rack 200, which comprises a rack body 210 and a rotating assembly 220. The rack body 210 is a rectangular frame structure, and the rack body 210 at least has a first loading space 211 and a second loading space 212 arranged from top to bottom, wherein the first loading space 211 is used for accommodating the cover body 100, and the second loading space 212 is used for accommodating the box body. The rotating assembly 220 is installed in the first loading space 211, and the rotating assembly 220 comprises a mounting rack 221 and a rotating rack 222 connected with the mounting rack 221 along a horizontal central axis, and the rotating rack 222 has an accommodating space 2221 for accommodating the cover body 100.

[0046] The rotating rack 222 can rotate along the rotating shaft of the rotating assembly 220 under the action of external force, thereby driving the cover body 100 inside the rotating rack 222 to rotate, providing centrifugal force for the cover body 100 to separate the cleaning liquid from the cover body 100. Specifically, when the cassette loading rack 200 rotates along the vertical central axis following the rotating mechanism, the centrifugal force generated can make the cleaning liquid inside the cover body 100 gather to the edge of the cavity inside the cover body 100, and throw out part of the cleaning liquid through the windows 110 on both sides of the cover body 100. At this time, combined with the rotation of the cover body 100 on the rotating rack 222, the opportunity of the cleaning liquid moving in different directions inside the cover body 100 is increased, so that the cleaning liquid inside the cover body 100 is more easily thrown out from the windows 110, so as to realize the effect of conveniently discharging the cleaning liquid inside the cover body 100. In this embodiment, the accommodating space 2221 has at least one on the rotating rack 222, so that at least one cover body 100 to be dried can be loaded in the rotating rack 222, so as to simultaneously dry a plurality of cover bodies 100, and improve the drying efficiency of the cover body 100.

[0047] By setting the frame body 210, the box body and the cover body 100 are fixed respectively, and the rotating frame 222 is rotationally connected to the mounting frame 221, the cover body 100 is fixed to the accommodating space 2221 in the rotating frame 222, by driving the rotating frame 222 to rotate, the cleaning liquid which is not easy to discharge in the normal state inside and outside the cover body 100 is thrown out, and the effect of facilitating drying of the cover body 100 is realized. It should be noted that the drying requirement of the cover body 100 in this embodiment is that there is no cleaning liquid drop on the inside and outside of the cover body 100, and complete drying is not required.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in order to facilitate the cover body 100 to enter and exit the accommodating space 2221, so as to facilitate taking and placing the cover body 100, in this embodiment, the rotating frame 222 is a frame structure with one side open, the accommodating space 2221 is formed in the interior of the rotating frame 222, and the cover body 100 can enter and exit the accommodating space 2221 from the open side of the rotating frame 222.

[0049] Further, in some optional embodiments, the rotating assembly 220 further comprises a first limiting piece 223, the first limiting piece 223 comprises a fixed limiting rod 2231 and a locking piece 2232 which are oppositely arranged along the first direction a. Wherein, the fixed limiting rod 2231 is fixedly arranged on one side of the rotating frame 222 opposite to the open side, so that the rotating frame 222 is a frame structure with one side open and the other side closed, and the locking piece 2232 is located on the open side of the rotating frame 222, which can move under the action of external force to have a limiting state and a turning-out state.

[0050] Specifically, the locking piece 2232 is in the limiting state, the locking piece 2232, the fixed limiting rod 2231 and the rotating frame 222 jointly form the above-mentioned accommodating space 2221, the locking piece 2232 abuts against the cover body 100 located in the accommodating space 2221, thereby limiting the cover body 100 located in the accommodating space 2221 in the first direction a, to realize the effect of fixing the cover body 100 in the accommodating space 2221, and avoid the cover body 100 from escaping from the accommodating space 2221. When the locking piece 2232 is in the turning-out state, the locking piece 2232 releases the limiting of the cover body 100 in the accommodating space 2221, and the cover body 100 can enter and exit the accommodating space 2221 from the open side of the accommodating space 2221 at will.

[0051] When it is needed to put the cover body 100 into the accommodating space 2221 or take the dry finished cover body 100 out of the accommodating space 2221, the driving locking piece 2232 is in the turning-out state, at this time, the accommodating space 2221 is open, and the cover body 100 can be put into or taken out of the accommodating space 2221 from the open side. When the cover body 100 in the accommodating space 2221 is cleaned and dried, the driving locking piece 2232 is in the limiting state, at this time, the locking piece 2232 and the fixed limiting rod 2231 close the accommodating space 2221, and the cover body 100 is fixed in the accommodating space 2221, so that the cover body 100 is limited and fixed.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 4-6 , specifically, the locking piece 2232 comprises a locking portion 2233, an elastic piece 2234 and a mounting seat 2236, the mounting seat 2236 is connected with the fixed limiting rod 2231 at one end, and extends towards the locking piece 2232 at the other end, the elastic piece 2234 is connected with the locking portion 2233 at one end and connected with the mounting seat 2236 at the other end.

[0053] By exerting a force to the locking portion 2233, the locking piece 2232 can move relative to the fixed limiting rod 2231 under the action of the elastic piece 2234 to convert into the turning-out state; by removing the force exerted to the locking portion 2233, the locking portion 2233 can recover under the action of the elastic piece 2234 to convert the locking piece 2232 into the limiting state. It should be noted that when the elastic piece 2234 is in a natural state, the locking piece 2232 is in the limiting state, and the locking portion 2233 and the fixed limiting rod 2231 jointly fix the cover body 100 in the accommodating space 2221.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 6-8 In the embodiment, the locking portion 2233 is in a strip shape, when the locking piece 2232 is in the limiting state, the locking portion 2233 and the fixed limiting rod 2231 limit the cover body 100 in the first direction a (as shown in Figure 4 In the embodiment, the locking portion 2233 is arranged in a strip shape, which can ensure that the cover body 100 will not be thrown out when the locking portion 2233 abuts against the cover body 100, and can also make the contact area between the cover body 100 and the locking portion 2233 small enough, so as to reduce the dead angle formed between the cover body 100 and the locking portion 2233, and make the cover body 100 throw out the cleaning liquid more completely.

[0055] Further, in the embodiment, the mounting seat 2236 is provided with a first mounting channel in the first direction a, and the at least partial elastic member 2234 is located in the first mounting channel. The mounting seat 2236 is detachably provided with a fastener penetrating the first mounting channel in the second direction b, and one end of the elastic member 2234 is fixedly connected to the fastener. The fastener can be a bolt, a bolt, or the like.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 6-8 Further, in some optional embodiments, the locking member 2232 further comprises a connecting sleeve 2235, one end of the connecting sleeve 2235 is fixed with the mounting seat 2236 by a screw, and the connecting sleeve 2235 has a second mounting channel extending in the first direction a, the second mounting channel is in communication with the first mounting channel, and the at least partial elastic member 2234 is located in the second mounting channel, so that the locking portion 2233 can be connected with the elastic member 2234.

[0057] Further, the locking portion 2233 comprises an abutting rod 2233a and a connecting rod 2233b connected with the abutting rod 2233a. The connecting rod 2233b is used to extend into the second mounting channel, and the end thereof is used to connect with the elastic member 2234, so that the abutting rod 2233a can move along the second mounting channel through the connecting rod 2233b under the action of external force, so as to have a guiding effect on the movement of the locking portion 2233 under the action of the elastic member 2234.

[0058] Further, the connecting sleeve 2235 is provided with a first docking portion 2237 near one end of the locking member 2232, and the locking member 2232 has a second docking portion 2238 adapted to the first docking portion 2237. In the state that the locking member 2232 is in the limiting state, the first docking portion 2237 is clamped with the second docking portion 2238 to fix and limit the locking member 2232. Avoiding that the locking portion 2233 rotates relative to the connecting sleeve 2235 during the rotation of the rotating frame 222, which causes the locking member 2232 to be unable to limit the cover 100 in the accommodating space 2221. In the embodiment, the first docking portion 2237 and the second docking portion 2238 are provided as a similar mortise and tenon structure to ensure the stability of the locking member 2232 and the connecting sleeve 2235. Figure 7

[0059] Further, in order to improve the stability of the cover 100 in the accommodating space 2221, in some optional embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 9 ​The rotating assembly 220 further comprises a second limiting piece 224, which comprises a plurality of U-shaped limiting blocks 2241 located in the accommodating space 2221. The plurality of limiting blocks 2241 jointly hold the cover body 100, so as to limit the cover body 100 in the second direction b and the third direction c. Specifically, two second limiting pieces 224 are arranged on both sides of one accommodating space 2221, and the opening ends of the second limiting pieces 224 located on both sides of the accommodating space 2221 are oppositely arranged. When the cover body 100 is located in the accommodating space 2221, the plurality of limiting blocks 2241 jointly hold the cover body 100, so as to improve the structural stability of the cover body 100 installed in the mounting cavity, so as to avoid the rotating frame 222 from rotating during the rotation process. In addition, in order to improve the overall structural stability of the rotating frame 222, a plurality of counterweight blocks 230 are further installed on the rotating frame 222. The specific number and installation position of the counterweight blocks 230 are selected according to the weight distribution of the rotating frame 222 itself.

[0060] Through the above arrangement, when the elastic piece 2234 is in a natural state, the locking piece 2232 is in a limiting state, the locking part 2233 and the fixed limiting rod 2231 jointly abut against the cover body 100 located in the accommodating space 2221, so as to limit and fix the cover body 100. When the locking piece 2232 is in a rotated-out state, the cover body 100 can enter and exit the accommodating space 2221 from the open side. In the embodiment, there are at least two forms for converting the locking piece 2232 into the rotated-out state by applying a force to the locking part 2233. One form is that the locking part 2233 moves a first distance away from the fixed limiting rod 2231 under the action of the elastic piece 2234 by applying a force to the locking part 2233, and the first distance is sufficient for the cover body 100 to enter and exit the accommodating space 2221 from the open side. Another form is that the locking part 2233 moves a second distance away from the fixed limiting rod 2231 under the action of the elastic piece 2234 by applying a force to the locking part 2233, so that the second abutting part 2238 is separated from the first abutting part 2237, and then the locking part 2233 is rotated to a sufficient angle, so that the cover body 100 can enter and exit the accommodating space from the open side. It should be noted that the second distance is much smaller than the first distance.

[0061] In the embodiment, it should be noted that when the locking piece 2232 is in the limiting state, the force of the elastic piece 2234 on the locking part 2233 is greater than the centrifugal force received by the rotating assembly 220, and the arrangement of the first abutting part 2237 and the second abutting part 2238 ensures that the cover body cannot be separated from the accommodating space.

[0062] During the use of the film cassette loading frame 200, the rotating frame 222 is in a free rotating state, which is not convenient for an operator to install the cover body 100 into the accommodating space 2221 or take the cover body 100 out of the accommodating space 2221. Based on this, please refer toFigure 6 In the embodiment, the movable through hole of one side mounting frame 221 is provided with a stop rod 240, and a limiting slot 241 is formed on the rotating frame 222. When the rotating frame 222 is rotated to the position that the limiting slot 241 is opposite to the stop rod 240, the stop rod 240 can be inserted into the limiting slot 241, so that the rotating frame 222 is fixed to limit the rotation of the rotating frame 222, and the cover 100 inside the rotating frame 222 is convenient to take out or put in.

[0063] Further, in some optional embodiments, in order to facilitate the rotation of the rotating frame 222 to shake out the cleaning liquid in the cover 100 during the drying process, a blade 250 is arranged on the rotating frame 222. In the embodiment, the drying mechanism is provided with multiple groups, and the multiple groups of drying mechanisms are arranged around the rotating mechanism. When the rotating mechanism drives the film cassette loading frame 200 to rotate, the multiple groups of drying mechanisms around the rotating mechanism can dry the film cassette in the film cassette loading frame 200 installed in the rotating mechanism. In addition, when the film cassette loading frame 200 is driven by the rotating mechanism to rotate to the vicinity of the drying mechanism, the blade 250 is driven to rotate the rotating frame 222 when the film cassette loading frame 200 is blown by the drying mechanism, so as to facilitate the rotation of the rotating frame 222.
