Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and in particular to the air duct structure of a cleaning device for semiconductor chip manufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] A wafer is a silicon chip used in the fabrication of silicon semiconductor integrated circuits. Wafers are used to produce integrated circuit chips. In the semiconductor manufacturing process, wafers are placed in wafer cassettes and transported to carriers at different load ports via AMHS (Automated Material Handling System). After a period of time, dust will remain on the surface of the carriers, affecting the yield of wafer products.
[0003] To maintain the cleanliness of the carriers, the carriers of semiconductor processing equipment need to be cleaned regularly. Existing cleaning methods mostly use manual cleaning and brush cleaning. Manual cleaning can only be done during equipment maintenance, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and not conducive to the overall working environment. It is also impossible to control the cleanliness. Brush cleaning is a contact method, which poses the risk of scratching the carriers and generating static electricity. Utility Model Content
