Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photomask cleaning, in particular to a photomask cleaning rack. Background Art

[0002] Photomasks are an essential and important link in chip production. However, 90% of the current photomask market is monopolized by foreign countries. Due to limitations in production equipment, China can only produce small-sized substrates, such as three-inch and six-inch substrates. Contaminants on the photomask may cause various defects during the photolithography process. For example, particulate contaminants may cause local protrusions or depressions on the silicon wafer during photolithography, forming so-called particle defects. These defects may cause short circuits or open circuits in the circuits inside the chip, thereby causing chip failure. Cleaning the photomask can eliminate these potential sources of defects and reduce the failure rate in the chip manufacturing process. Therefore, a photomask cleaning rack is needed.

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a photomask cleaning rack to solve the problem that the existing photomask cleaning rack cannot effectively improve the compatibility of the device and cannot improve the convenience of the device fixing work when in use.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a photomask cleaning rack, comprising a cross bar, a lower rack installed at the lower end of the cross bar, a first limit slot provided at the middle end of the lower rack, a second limit slot provided at the middle end of the lower rack, a third limit slot provided at the middle end of the lower rack, a slot rod installed at the middle end of the third limit slot, a limiting plate installed at the front end of the slot rod, a fixed wheel installed at one end of the lower rack, a small cleaning rack installed at the upper end of the fixed wheel, a rack hook installed at the upper end of the small cleaning rack, and an 850x1440 photomask installed at the upper end of the fixed wheel.

[0006] Preferably, the length of the first limiting groove is greater than that of the second limiting groove, and the second limiting groove and the third limiting groove are arranged in parallel.

[0007] Preferably, the slot rod forms a sliding structure with the lower hanging frame through the third limiting groove, and the limiting plate forms a rotating structure with the lower hanging frame through the slot rod.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing wheels are engaged with the lower rack, and the fixing wheels of the lower rack are distributed at equal intervals about the central axis of the lower rack.

[0009] Preferably, the small cleaning rack is movably connected to the fixed wheel, and the small cleaning rack is engaged with the lower hanging rack through a limiting plate.

[0010] Preferably, the 850x1440 photomask is movably connected to the lower rack via a fixing wheel, and the 850x1440 photomask is engaged and connected to the lower rack via a limiting plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

The utility model installs the small cleaning rack on the lower hanging rack in the same manner by arranging a cross bar, a lower hanging rack, a first limiting slot, a second limiting slot, a third limiting slot, a slot rod, a limiting plate and a small cleaning rack. The small cleaning rack is fixed by the slot rod and the limiting plate on the third limiting slot. At this time, 3-inch and 6-inch photomasks can be placed on the small cleaning rack, and photomasks of different sizes can be fixed by the slot rods and the limiting plates in the first limiting slot and the second limiting slot, so as to be used for transportation or other processes. This device is compatible with photomasks of different sizes, which greatly improves the production capacity of the equipment. Customers can freely choose the corresponding process without being restricted by the equipment, thereby improving the compatibility of the device.

[0013] 2. The utility model sets a cross bar, a lower hanger, a first limit slot, a second limit slot, a third limit slot, a slot rod, a limit plate, a fixed wheel and an 850x1440 photomask. The lower hanger and the cross bar are assembled, and the fixed wheel is clamped on the lower hanger, and the three slot rods and the limit plate are clamped in the first limit slot, the second limit slot and the third limit slot respectively. After the entire hanger is assembled, the 850x1440 photomask can be placed directly on the fixed wheel, and the three slot rods are moved on the first limit slot, the second limit slot and the third limit slot to contact the 850x1440 photomask to prevent it from tipping over, and its position is limited by the limit plate, thereby improving the convenience of the device fixing work.
