[0004] Although the above patent can filter the chemical solution through the design of the filter screen plate, filter out the internal impurities in the inner cavity of the filter cartridge, avoid the problem of impurities affecting the normal use of the chemical solution, and improve the reliability of the device, it has the following disadvantages: after a certain period of use, the impurities will be blocked in the sieve holes on the filter screen plate. The blocked filter screen may prevent the liquid from passing smoothly, thereby affecting the circulation and use effect of the chemical solution, and workers are required to manually clean and clean it. Manual cleaning of the filter screen requires manual operation, which consumes time and human resources and needs further improvement. For this reason, we propose a semiconductor etching chamber.
