TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a semiconductor mould cleaning technical field especially relates to a snowflake dry ice generating device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Semiconductor mold cleaning is an important link in the semiconductor manufacturing process, involving the cleaning and maintenance of the mold surface to ensure product quality and production efficiency. Semiconductor manufacturing usually includes multiple steps such as photolithography, etching, ion implantation and chemical vapor deposition, etc. In these processes, the semiconductor mold will contact various chemicals and materials, which are prone to accumulate dirt, residues and particles, etc.
[0003] At present, the semiconductor mold is usually cleaned by dry ice on the market. When dry ice cleaning is performed, dry ice is sprayed onto the mold surface to produce a physical reaction of temperature difference (different materials have different shrinkage rates) to make the dirt separate; when dry ice particles at-78 degrees Celsius contact the surface of the dirt, they become brittle and explode, causing the dirt to shrink and loosen, the dry ice particles immediately vaporize and expand 800 times, generating strong peeling force to quickly remove the dirt, making the dirt completely fall off the mold surface, thereby achieving a fast, efficient, safe and energy-saving cleaning effect.
[0004] The invention with publication number CN102205288B proposes a dry ice particle spraying device that can efficiently form dry ice particles that are softer than granular dry ice and harder than snow-like dry ice from liquid carbon dioxide, and can spray the dry ice particles out in a effortless state. The dry ice particle spraying device includes: a liquid carbon dioxide supply source; a gas-liquid carbon dioxide supply flow path; a pressure reduction part; a dry ice particle generating part; and a dry ice particle introduction flow path, and the dry ice particle generating part has a dry ice particle generating element. However, the existing dry ice spraying device for semiconductor mold cleaning sprays dry ice in block form, and the blocky dry ice cannot cover the irregular gaps between the semiconductor mold, the above-mentioned dry ice particle spraying device cannot perform dry ice cutting and screening treatment before dry ice spraying, resulting in large volume of blocky dry ice sprayed, which in turn leads to the technical problem of poor cleaning effect of the sprayed dry ice on the semiconductor mold. Therefore, the present scheme proposes a snowflake dry ice generating device to solve the above-mentioned problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

A cutting disc shreds the dry ice located in the upper cavity of the chamber, and a sieve plate sieves the shredded dry ice.

This completes the feeding process of small-sized dry ice into the lower cavity of the chamber. By connecting the dry ice conveying pipeline to the outlet and the dry ice discharge component, the snowflake dry ice located in the lower cavity of the dry ice processing chamber is sprayed out from the dry ice discharge component.
