Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wafer heat treatment, in particular to a wafer rapid heat treatment sealing mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Wafers are the fundamental material in semiconductor manufacturing. They are typically circular slices made of high-purity single-crystal silicon or other semiconductor materials (such as gallium arsenide or gallium nitride). Wafers are the foundation for the manufacture of integrated circuits (ICs), sensors, solar cells, and other electronic devices. Wafers are a core material in semiconductor manufacturing, and their quality and performance are directly related to the performance and reliability of the final product. With technological advancements, the size and purity of wafers have continued to increase, providing a solid foundation for the development of the semiconductor industry.
[0003] Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) is a common technique used in semiconductor manufacturing to rapidly heat and cool wafers. This method enables precise temperature control and high-temperature processing within a short period of time, making it suitable for a variety of process steps such as oxidation, diffusion, and annealing. To ensure uniformity and controllability during thermal processing, the design of the sealing mechanism is crucial.
[0004] In the sealing mechanism for rapid thermal treatment of wafers in the prior art, the sealing door is usually sealed by rotating a screw to squeeze the sealing door into the door frame. However, the rotation and tightening of the screw takes a certain amount of time, and the opening and closing speed is slow, which prolongs the time of the entire thermal treatment process and leads to low production efficiency.
