[0002] In the precision manufacturing process of semiconductor chips, chips undergo multiple critical steps, including photolithography, etching, and cleaning. Among these, cleaning is the core step in ensuring the cleanliness of the chip surface. After cleaning, liquid media such as deionized water and cleaning agents inevitably remain on the chip surface. If these residual liquids are not removed in a timely and thorough manner, they will directly lead to a series of quality hazards. The chip carrier commonly used in the industry is the traditional wafer basket, with air nozzles installed above or on one side of the wafer basket to achieve the purpose of drying and cleaning.

[0003] Because blowing from a single angle can result in uneven airflow distribution and residual moisture in dead corners, thus reducing drying efficiency, this application proposes a carrier basket that can dry and clean chips. Utility Model Content

[0008] Optionally, one side of the support frame is provided with multiple placement slots, the bottom inner wall of the placement slot is provided with multiple drainage holes, and rubber pads are fixedly provided on both sides of the inner wall of the placement slot.

[0009] Optionally, the thickness of the rubber pad is 1-3 cm, and the surface of the rubber pad is provided with micro-protrusion texture.

[0010] Optionally, air nozzles are fixedly provided at the bottom of the first, second and third air collection pipes. The first and second air collection pipes are movably connected to the frame. A rotating shaft is fixedly provided at the end of the first and second air collection pipes near the motor. The two rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the frame. A pulley is fixedly provided on the two rotating shafts. The same belt is fitted on the two pulleys.

[0011] Optionally, one end of one of the rotating shafts is fixedly provided with a first gear, and the output end of the motor is fixedly provided with a second gear, and the first gear and the second gear mesh for transmission.

The exhaust end of the air compressor tank and the second air collection pipe are connected by a hose.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of PLC, photoelectric switch, motor, and air collection pipe one, air collection pipe two, and air collection pipe three, enables multiple air nozzles to swing and blow in a fan shape, improving the blowing uniformity of the carrier basket. With the help of two air collection pipes three that continuously emit air laterally, a three-dimensional airflow network can be formed, covering every corner of the chip surface, avoiding local drying delays caused by uneven airflow distribution. Cross airflow will generate turbulence effect in the contact area. Turbulence can accelerate the heat exchange between the chip surface and the surrounding air, further increasing the moisture evaporation rate and improving drying efficiency.

[0036] Example

[0037] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a chip carrier basket that can dry and clean chips, including a frame 1. The bottom of the frame 1 is fixedly provided with four support feet arranged in a rectangular shape, and the bottom of the support feet is provided with anti-slip pads. The frame 1 is provided with two sets of carrier racks 2 for placing chips. A water guide plate 6 for receiving moisture is fixedly provided below the multiple carrier racks 2. A water collection tank 7 for collecting moisture is fixedly provided on one side of the water guide plate 6. A drying structure 8 for air drying is provided inside the frame 1. The frame 1 is provided with two photoelectric switches 9 and a PLC 10.

[0038] The drying structure 8 includes a first air collecting pipe 801, a second air collecting pipe 802 for collecting air, and an air compressor tank 803 for ensuring a stable air source. Air nozzles are fixedly installed at the bottom of the first air collecting pipe 801, the second air collecting pipe 802, and the third air collecting pipe 8010. The first air collecting pipe 801 and the second air collecting pipe 802 are movably connected to the frame 1. A rotating shaft 805 is fixedly installed at the end of the first air collecting pipe 801 and the second air collecting pipe 802 near the motor 809. Both rotating shafts 805 are rotatably connected to the frame 1. A pulley 806 is fixedly installed on each of the two rotating shafts 805, and the same belt is fitted onto both pulleys 806. A gear 807 is fixedly installed at one end of one of the rotating shafts 805. An air compressor 804 for providing a high-pressure air source is located below the air compressor tank 803. One side of the first air collecting pipe 801 and the second air collecting pipe 802... The system includes a third air collection pipe 8010 and a baffle 8011 fixed to the outside of the second air collection pipe 802. The baffle 8011, in conjunction with two photoelectric switches 9, allows the first air collection pipe 801 and the second air collection pipe 802 to swing and blow within a specified angle range. This not only reduces energy consumption but also ensures uniform blowing. The first air collection pipe 801 and the second air collection pipe 802 are connected by a hose. The first air collection pipe 801, the second air collection pipe 802, and the two third air collection pipes 8010 are also connected by hoses. The exhaust end of the air compressor 804 and the inlet end of the air compression tank 803 are connected by a hose. The exhaust end of the air compression tank 803 and the second air collection pipe 802 are connected by a hose. A motor 809 for driving is fixed on the frame 1. A gear 808 is fixed to the output end of the motor 809. The gear 807 and the gear 808 mesh and drive each other.

[0039] The support frame 2 has multiple placement slots 3 on one side. The bottom inner wall of the placement slot 3 has multiple drainage holes 4. The drainage holes 4 can quickly discharge the sewage and impurities generated by the purging, preventing them from accumulating in the basket and ensuring the cleanliness of the chip surface. Rubber pads 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the placement slot 3. The rubber pads 5 can prevent the chip from directly contacting the hard placement slot 3. The rubber pads 5 are 2 cm thick and have micro-protrusion texture on the surface. The micro-protrusion texture can guide airflow and also guide moisture on the chip surface.

[0040] In this embodiment, the two photoelectric switches 9 can limit the swing angle of the first air collection pipe 801 and the second air collection pipe 802. During use, the chip is placed in the placement slot 3 between two rubber pads 5. Then, the air compressor 804 and motor 809 are started. The rubber pads 5 not only prevent chip damage caused by direct contact between the chip and the hard placement slot 3, but their micro-textured surface also guides airflow and moisture, accelerating the drying speed. Moisture and impurities generated during blowing can be quickly discharged through the drain hole 4 and fall into the water guide plate 6, preventing impurities from accumulating and adhering to the chip surface during the next blow, ensuring the cleanliness of the chip surface. The air compressor 804 introduces gas into the air compression tank 803, and then through multiple hoses into multiple air collection pipes, finally spraying it out from the nozzle onto the chip surface. The motor 809 drives the second gear 808, which in turn drives one of the rotating shafts 805 through the first gear 807. The rotating shaft 805 then drives two pulleys 806... In conjunction with another rotating shaft 805, the first air collection pipe 801 and the second air collection pipe 802 rotate simultaneously. The second air collection pipe 802 drives the baffle 8011. When the baffle 8011 blocks one of the photoelectric switches 9, the photoelectric switch 9 sends a signal to the PLC 10. The PLC 10 then causes the motor 809 to reverse. When the baffle 8011 blocks the other photoelectric switch 9, the PLC 10 causes the motor 809 to rotate forward, thereby causing the first air collection pipe 801 and the second air collection pipe 802 to drive the bottom nozzles to swing in a fan shape and blow, which can improve the blowing uniformity of the chip carrier basket. With the two continuously horizontally air-discharging third air collection pipes 8010, a three-dimensional airflow network can be formed to cover every corner of the chip surface, avoiding local drying delays caused by uneven airflow distribution. The cross airflow will generate a turbulence effect in the contact area. The impact force of turbulence is much greater than that of laminar flow, which can more quickly peel off the attached liquid film on the chip surface. At the same time, turbulence can accelerate the heat exchange between the chip surface and the surrounding air, further increasing the moisture evaporation rate.

[0041] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
