Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a device for extracting samples from dust-free clothing inspections. Background Art

[0002] Wafer factory (Fabrication, FAB) workers need to wear clean clothes when working. If the cleanliness of the clean clothes is not enough, it will directly affect the cleanliness of the factory environment and the yield of the product, so the cleanliness of the clean clothes should be tested regularly. With the rapid development of integrated circuit process technology and the miniaturization of components, the requirements for product quality and yield are getting higher and higher. Therefore, it is very important to control the cleanliness of the clean clothes.

[0003] At present, the method for detecting the cleanliness of cleanroom clothing generally includes the following steps: (1) preparing clean cutting tools in a cutting room; (2) placing the cleanroom clothing on a table; (3) in order to reduce the analysis error, with the cooperation of multiple staff members, three pieces of cloth of fixed size are cut from three different parts of a cleanroom clothing as parallel samples; (4) a small piece of cloth is cut from each of the three pieces of cloth and subjected to GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) detection; (5) the remaining three pieces of cloth are placed in clean bottles, ultrapure water (UPW) is added, and after soaking for a period of time, the water sample is filtered and subjected to IC&ICP-MS (ion chromatography tandem mass spectrometry&Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) detection.

[0004] However, in the process of extracting cleanroom clothing test samples, there are the following problems:

[0005] First, the sample cutting process is prone to contamination. Because the cutting process is carried out in the sampling room, other personnel may enter the sampling room during the cutting process and introduce contamination; in addition, if the staff has contaminants on their bodies, contamination will also be introduced.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for extracting dust-free clothing inspection samples, including a sampling chamber 1, a cutting device 2, a cutting fixing plate 3, a sample plate 4, a sampling bottle 5, a weight sensor 6, a water outlet pipe 7, a control valve 8 and a control platform 9; the sampling chamber 1 has a cavity, and the sampling chamber 1 is provided with an openable and closable door 101; the cutting device 2, the cutting fixing plate 3, the sample plate 4, the sampling bottle 5, the weight sensor 6 and the water outlet pipe 7 are all arranged in the cavity, and the control platform 9 is arranged outside the cavity; the cutting device 2, the weight sensor 6 and the control valve 8 are respectively connected to the control platform 9; the sampling bottle 5 is placed on the sample plate 4; the weight sensor 6 is installed at the bottom of the sample plate 4; the control valve 8 is installed on the water outlet pipe 7.

[0036] The cutting device 2 may be an existing automatic cutting device or may be improved on the basis of a fully automatic wafer surface treatment device, for example, the cutting device 2 may be improved on the basis of a VPD (Vapor Phase decomposition) device of model WSPS3. The VPD device includes the control platform 9 and a manipulator. The control platform 9 may control the manipulator to operate according to a set action. The cutting device 2 may be obtained by replacing the manipulator with a cutting tool.

Transparent glass may be provided on the side wall of the sampling chamber 1 so as to observe the internal situation of the sampling chamber 1 from the outside.

[0037] The method for using the device for extracting samples of clean clothes inspection provided in the present embodiment is as follows: the clean clothes 14 to be cut are sent into the sampling chamber 1 through the openable and closable door 101 of the sampling chamber 1, the cutting device 2 lays the clean clothes 14 to be cut flat on the cutting fixing plate 3, the fixing mechanism 301 provided on the cutting fixing plate 3 fixes the clean clothes 14 to be cut, the cutting device 2 cuts the clean clothes 14 to be cut according to the cutting position and cutting size set in the control platform 9 to obtain the sample 15, the sample 15 usually includes three small samples and three large samples, the cutting device 2 can first cut out the three small samples, and then cut out the three large samples at the position of the small samples, the cutting device During the cutting process, the samples 15 are placed into the sampling bottle 5 one by one, and the weight sensor 6 sends the total weight of the sampling bottle 5 and the sample 15 to the control platform 9.

The unexpected effect is that it is not easy to introduce contamination during the cutting process of the dust-free clothing inspection sample, and the size of the sample is more uniform, which significantly improves the efficiency of extracting the sample.

[0039] Optional, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device also includes an air inlet pipe 10 and an exhaust pipe 11 connected to the cavity, and valves 12 are provided on the air inlet pipe 10 and the exhaust pipe 11. Clean nitrogen or inert gas can be transported into the cavity through the air inlet pipe 10, and the cavity can be cleaned by clean nitrogen or inert gas to prevent pollutants in the cavity. The valves 12 on the air inlet pipe 10 and the exhaust pipe 11 need to be opened or closed at the same time to keep the air pressure in the cavity stable. The valves 12 on the air inlet pipe 10 and the exhaust pipe 11 are opened only when cutting, and the valves 12 on the air inlet pipe 10 and the exhaust pipe 11 are closed after cutting to save gas. The air inlet pipe 10 can be connected to the air supply pipe at the factory end, and the exhaust pipe 11 can be connected to the exhaust pipe at the factory end.
