[0025] The collection assembly includes a condenser 13, which condenses the solvent vapor in the volatile gas into a liquid state through low-temperature cooling technology. The compact internal arrangement effectively shortens the airflow path, improves the condensation efficiency, and avoids excessive equipment volume. The condenser 13 is arranged inside the drying cabinet 1. The air inlet of the condenser 13 is connected to the output end of the second air suction pump 21 through multiple pipelines. The output end of the second air suction pump 21 is connected to the bottom plate 22 through a pipeline. The negative pressure generated by the second air suction pump 21 introduces the volatile gas in the drying chamber into the condenser 13, ensuring that the volatile gas can quickly leave the chamber surface and preventing the gas from recondensing on the wafer surface. The second air suction pump 21 is arranged at the lower part of the bottom plate 22. The liquid outlet of the condenser 13 is connected to the collection kettle 17 through a pipeline.

The output end of the water pump 19 is connected to the cooling liquid inlet of the condenser 13 through a pipeline. The cooling liquid outlet of the condenser 13 is connected to the water inlet of the water tank 18 through a pipeline.

After heat exchange with the volatile gas in the condenser 13, the cooling liquid returns to the water tank 18 from the cooling liquid outlet, forming a circulating cooling system, which significantly reduces the cooling energy consumption;
[0026] The processing assembly includes a first air suction pump 20. The first air suction pump 20 is arranged on the inner wall of the drying cabinet 1. The input end of the first air suction pump 20 is connected to the pipeline between the condenser 13 and the collection kettle 17 through a connecting pipeline. The output end of the first air suction pump 20 is provided with a waste gas treatment mechanism 7.

[0027] The inner wall of the drying cabinet 1 is provided with a mounting bracket 15, which provides a stable mounting position for the vacuum pump 16. The top of the mounting bracket 15 is provided with the vacuum pump 16. The vacuum pump 16 forms a low-pressure environment in the drying chamber by vacuum suction in the bottom plate 22 area to accelerate the evaporation efficiency of the volatile solvent. The input end of the vacuum pump 16 is connected to the bottom plate 22 through a pipeline. The rear part of the drying cabinet 1 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 14;
[0028] A plurality of operation buttons 4 are equidistantly arranged on the front of the drying cabinet 1, which provides the operator with direct control function of the running state of the equipment, facilitates the setting of parameters such as temperature, time, vacuum degree, etc., and improves the convenience of equipment use. A display screen 5 is arranged on the front of the drying cabinet 1, which displays the running parameters and equipment state in real time during the drying process, facilitating the operator to monitor and adjust. An alarm lamp 2 is arranged on the outside of the drying cabinet 1, which provides audible and visual alarm prompt when the equipment runs abnormally or fails, ensuring that the operator can discover the problem in time and take measures to improve the safety of equipment operation.
[0029] Adjustable supporting legs 23 are arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the drying cabinet 1, which can adjust the height according to the actual situation of the equipment installation site, ensure the equipment to be placed horizontally, and thus ensure the uniform heating of the wafer during the drying process and the stable operation of the equipment.
[0030] Referring to Figure 5 The waste gas treatment mechanism 7 includes a cylinder 701 arranged in a circular hole outside the drying cabinet 1, and equidistantly arranged with clamping beads 705 on the outside of the cylinder 701, which are clamped with the circular hole. The inside of the cylinder 701 is provided with a coarse filter plate 702, a precision filter plate 703 and a chemical adsorption filter plate 704 from inside to outside, respectively. The coarse filter plate 702 removes large particle impurities, the precision filter plate 703 intercepts small particles, and the chemical adsorption filter plate 704 adsorbs organic components and odors in volatile gases, ensuring that the waste gas emission meets environmental protection requirements.
[0031] Working principle: The drying equipment generates infrared radiation to heat the semiconductor wafer 10 on the placement disc 9 through the infrared heating pipe 11 arranged at the top of the drying cabinet 1. The infrared heating pipe 11 cooperates with the temperature sensor 12 at the top to monitor the surface temperature data of the wafer in real time and feedback to the control system for accurate adjustment to ensure uniform heating of the wafer surface. The cooperation of the sliding rail 8 and the sliding block enables the placement disc 9 to move smoothly during the heating process as needed, optimizing the uniformity of wafer heating and thus improving the drying quality. Because the fixed position of the infrared heating pipe 11 may cause uneven heating of the local area of the wafer surface, the movement of the placement disc 9 driven by the sliding rail 8 can make each area of the wafer in turn be in the best heating position, uniformly absorb heat energy, and avoid local overheating or overcooling. In addition, the design of movement disperses the heat energy range, reduces the risk of aging of the sliding block and placement disc due to long-term heating in local area, thereby prolonging the service life of the equipment and improving the overall drying efficiency.
[0032] The condenser 13 provides circulating cooling water through the connected water pump 19, and the cooling water is delivered from the water tank 18 to the condenser 13 for heat exchange to reduce the temperature of the gas. When the volatile gas generated during the drying process enters the condenser 13 through the exhaust pump two 21, the low-temperature cooling liquid in the condenser makes the solvent vapor in the gas condense into liquid and flow into the collection jug 17 through the liquid outlet of the condenser 13 to achieve solvent recovery. The cooling liquid flows back to the water tank 18 through the cooling liquid outlet of the condenser 13 after absorbing heat for recycling, thereby effectively reducing the pollution of solvent volatilization to the environment.
[0033] The residual part of the gas in the collection jug 17 enters the exhaust pump one 20 through the pipeline, and the exhaust pump one 20 further delivers the gas to the waste gas treatment mechanism 7 for purification treatment. The waste gas treatment mechanism 7 performs hierarchical filtration and purification on particulate matter and organic compounds in the volatile gas through the set coarse filter plate 702, precision filter plate 703 and chemical adsorption filter plate 704, thereby ensuring that the cleanliness of the discharged gas meets the environmental protection requirements and reducing the pollution of particulate matter to the equipment and external environment.
[0034] The vacuum pump 16 forms a low-pressure environment in the drying chamber by vacuumizing the area of the bottom plate 22 to accelerate the evaporation efficiency of the volatile solvent. The bottom plate 22 provides support for the wafer and cooperates with the sliding rail 8 to ensure that the wafer remains stable in the vacuum environment. The high-temperature residual heat generated in the chamber between the bottom plate 22 and the drying cabinet 1 is discharged through the rear heat dissipation hole 14 to maintain the stable operation of the equipment and prolong the service life of the equipment.
[0035] The operation button 4 at the front of the drying cabinet 1 is used to set the drying parameters, including temperature, time, vacuum degree, etc. The display screen 5 displays the running state and parameter adjustment of the equipment in real time. When the equipment operates abnormally, the alarm lamp 2 set externally will issue an audible and visual alarm to prompt the operator to handle it. The adjustable supporting legs 23 at the bottom of the drying cabinet 1 are used to adjust the stability of the equipment to ensure the stable work of the equipment in the installation site.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application.
