Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a glass bottle cover assembly, and more particularly to a cover assembly for protecting a glass bottle containing chemicals used in semiconductor processes.

Background Art

[0002] GlassThe glass bottles widely used in daily life are used in various ways according to the characteristics and purposes of their contents.

[0003] Photoresist (photosensitive solution) containers used in semiconductor photolithography processes are made of special materials containing UV (ultraviolet) blocking paints that utilize the principle of the angle of refraction of light. This is to protect the special nature of the solution. The internal solution is also expensive and, if leaked externally, is harmful to the human body, so it is generally stored in a completely isolated state.

[0004] The size of the container is usually 1 gallon (3.8 liters), and its volume and shape are standardized.

[0005] Due to the nature of the solvent, its photosensitivity is sensitive to external temperature and is stored in a constant temperature facility of 23 degrees (the general storage temperature is 4 degrees or less). In fact, due to concerns about harm to the human body caused by cracks resulting from careless handling, it is classified as a dangerous and harmful substance, and its handling is restricted to authorized personnel only.

[0006] Also, currently, there is an increasing concern for the environment and safety. Therefore, if toxic substances leak due to the breakage of a glass bottle containing chemicals, it may first harm the bodies of workers and have an adverse impact on the external image of semiconductor companies. Therefore, there is a very real need to respond very actively to prepare countermeasures.

[0007] The aim is to improve the problems of conventional glass bottles by changing them to plastic materials. However, since the purity of chemical solutions cannot be completely maintained through dissolution when using plastic containers, the use of glass bottles is expected to continue for a considerable period.

[0008] Patent Document 1: Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2071399, a protective device patent, relates to a device for protecting a photoresist bottle used in semiconductor photoprocessing, and includes a protective method for enclosing the outside of the bottle. However, for actual use in photoprocessing, it is necessary to remove the protective device and expose the bottle to the outside.

[0009] Patent Document 2: Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1746779 is a patent relating to a cover assembly for protecting chemical bottles, and the cover assembly is manufactured based on a glass bottle with a handle. With the cover assembly attached, the lid of the container is broken through the virgin ring, the cap of the chemical container is opened, and the chemical substance inside is used. Here, the process of putting the chemical substance into the chemical container, covering it again with the cover assembly, and transporting it must be carried out. There is also a risk of damage during the process of transporting the chemical container to cover the cover assembly. The added process consolidates substantial risks, which may cause problems with the effectiveness of using the cover assembly. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

However, the scope of the patent is not limited or restricted by the embodiments. Similar reference numerals refer to similar components in each of the drawings.

[0022] It should be noted that there is a misspelling in the original text where "十二" in should be "12". The above translation has been corrected accordingly.Figure 1 is a front view of a glass bottle cover assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a glass bottle cover assembly (including a glass bottle) according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 3 is an exploded view of a glass bottle cover assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1-3, the glass bottle cover assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention relates to a glass bottle cover assembly 10 for protecting a glass bottle 1 containing a chemical substance, and includes an upper cover 100 and a lower cover 200 configured to surround the body 50 of the glass bottle 1, a guide ring 300 configured to be fixed to an upper recess formed on the upper part of the outer peripheral surface of the glass bottle 1, and a cap 400 configured to open and close an opening 1000 formed at the upper end of the glass bottle 1, and at the same time to be coupled to a glass bottle thread 20 formed on the upper outer peripheral surface of the glass bottle 1 and a fixing portion formed on the upper part of the outer peripheral surface of the guide ring 300.

[0024] The glass bottle cover assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be, but is not limited to, a glass bottle cover assembly 10 for protecting a glass bottle containing a photoresist used in semiconductor processes.

[0025] However, for the sake of explanation, we will assume that the glass bottle cover assembly 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is for use with photoresists used in semiconductor processes.

[0026] The photoresists used in semiconductor processes have specific glass bottle specifications and shapes, and the process of putting the photoresist into the glass bottles is also standardized.

[0027] To briefly describe the process of putting photoresist into glass bottles 1, the glass bottles 1 are manufactured and then cleaned both inside and out. After cleaning, empty glass bottles 1 with their caps not completely sealed are placed on a conveyor belt aligned for filling with photoresist, the caps 400 of the glass bottles 1 are opened by a device that holds the caps 400, a hose is attached to the glass bottles 1 and 1 gallon of photoresist is filled in.

[0028] Next, as a storage process after completely closing and sealing the cap 400, the process that precedes the use of the photoresist in semiconductor processes is completed.

[0029] The process itself must be performed in a clean state so that the photoresist can be stored in a glass bottle without the risk of contamination or degradation by other components.

[0030] Furthermore, glass bottle 1 is exposed to the outside by itself during the transport process, and is simply wrapped in a plastic bag; there is no device to protect glass bottle 1 from the risk of dropping.

[0031] The glass bottle cover assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention was invented to prevent the risk of photoresist and chemicals leaking to the outside even if the glass bottle 1 is damaged during the process of storing, transporting, and using the photoresist in semiconductor processes.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the glass bottle cover assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention encloses the glass bottle 1 with a cover, preferably the cover is divided into an upper cover 100 and a lower cover 200, which are combined to surround the body 50 of the glass bottle 1.

[0033] The materials for the upper cover 100 and the lower cover 200 include one of the following: glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), acrylic resin, polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), Teflon®, or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

[0034] The upper cover 100 may include a handle 110 formed on one side of its outer circumferential surface, a guide ring fixing portion 120 formed to project inward from the upper part of its inner circumferential surface, a protruding portion 130 located below the guide ring fixing portion 120 and projecting outward from the outer circumferential surface to contact the annular lip 35 of the glass bottle 1, a protruding coupling portion 140 located below the protruding portion 130 and projecting outward from the outer circumferential surface to contact the annular projection 45 of the glass bottle 1, a cover recess 150 formed below the protruding coupling portion 140, and an upper cover assembly thread 160 formed on the lower part of its outer circumferential surface and configured to connect to the lower cover 200.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper cover 100 may further include grooves (not shown) formed between the handle connection portions to prevent deformation of the handle 110.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3, the top of the upper cover 100 is open, and the guide ring fixing portion 120 may be formed to protrude inward at the portion closest to the open top. The guide ring fixing portion 120 of the upper cover 100 may be coupled to the lower outer peripheral surface of the guide ring 300 to more securely seal the glass bottle 1.

[0037] The protruding portion 130 may be formed below the guide ring fixing portion 120, and the protruding portion 130 may be implemented in an arc shape that protrudes convexly compared to the overall upper shape of the upper cover 100. The protruding portion 130 may be the part that is firmly attached to the annular lip 35 formed on the glass bottle 1 when the upper cover 100 is attached to the glass bottle 1.

[0038] Furthermore, the handle 110 may be provided on the outer circumferential surface of the upper cover 100. For example, the first connecting portion 111, to which the upper part of the handle 110 and the outer circumferential surface of the upper cover 100 are connected, may be formed below the protruding portion 130, and the second connecting portion 112, to which the lower part of the handle 110 and the outer circumferential surface of the upper cover 100 are connected, may be formed on the protruding connecting portion 140. In other words, the handle 110 may be formed between the protruding portion 130 and the protruding connecting portion 140. The position and shape of the handle 110 are not limited to these and can be changed in various ways depending on the shape of the cover assembly.

[0039] As shown in Figures 1-3, below the protruding portion 130, the diameter increases in a way that widens the cross-section, and the protruding connecting portion 140 may be formed on the corresponding connecting portion while forming a recessed cross-section such as the cover recess 150.

[0040] The protruding connecting portion 140 is the part that is securely attached to the annular projection 45 formed on the glass bottle 1 when the upper cover 100 is attached to the glass bottle 1.

[0041] Referring to the shape of the glass bottle 1 used in the semiconductor process through Figure 3, an opening 1000 is formed at the top, and a glass bottle thread 20 configured to connect to a cap 400 is formed on the upper outer surface. An upper recess 30, smaller in diameter than the opening 1000, is formed below the glass bottle thread 20. A protruding ring-shaped annular lip 35 is formed below the upper recess 30, and the lower recess 40 is formed in such a way that its diameter increases as it moves downward, and then decreases sharply.

[0042] The annular projection 45 is formed at the upper end of the lower recess 40, and its diameter increases as it extends downward from the lower recess 40, so that the main body 50, which has the same diameter at a certain height, holds 1 gallon of photoresist.

[0043] The upper recess 30 and lower recess 40 formed in the glass bottle 1 provide space for fingers to secure when holding or carrying the glass bottle 1, and the glass bottle cover assembly 10 securely attaches to the glass bottle 1 while maintaining the existing shape of the glass bottle, protecting workers from hazardous chemicals inside even if the glass bottle 1 is broken.

[0044] Furthermore, a gradient may be formed such that the diameter of the glass bottle 1 increases as it descends from the top of the body 50 to the annular bend 55, and decreases as it descends from the annular bend 55 to the bottom of the body 50. The annular bend 55 allows the glass bottle cover assembly 10 to be securely attached to the glass bottle 1.

[0045] As shown in Figure 2, the protruding coupling portion 140 of the glass bottle cover assembly 10 makes close contact with the annular projection 45 of the glass bottle 1, and serves to naturally fix the glass bottle 1 in place so that it does not move or shake within the glass bottle cover assembly 10.

[0046] The cover recess 150 is formed below the protruding joint portion 140 and serves to support the protruding annular projection 45 of the glass bottle 1. This structure allows the upper cover 100 to be easily fixed to the glass bottle 1 and prevents the fixed glass bottle 1 from being easily separated from the upper cover 100.

[0047] Furthermore, the upper cover assembly threads 160, which are configured to connect to the lower cover 200, are formed on the lower outer circumferential surface of the upper cover 100. The upper cover assembly threads 160 engage with the lower cover assembly threads 260 formed on the upper inner circumferential surface of the lower cover 200, thereby connecting the upper cover 100 and the lower cover 200. However, the configuration is not limited to this; threads may also be formed on the lower inner circumferential surface of the upper cover 100 and the upper outer circumferential surface of the lower cover 200, and the upper cover 100 and the lower cover 200 may be connected accordingly.

[0048] Here, the upper cover 100 may be formed to cover from the upper recess 30 of the glass bottle 1 to the annular bend 55 of the glass bottle 1, and the lower cover 200 may be formed to cover from the upper cover assembly threads 160 of the upper cover 100 to the lower end of the glass bottle 1. This is not necessarily limited to this. The lower cover 200 may be formed to cover from the annular bend 55 of the glass bottle 1 to the lower end of the glass bottle 1, and the upper cover 100 may be formed to cover from the upper recess 30 of the glass bottle 1 to the lower cover assembly threads 260 of the lower cover 200. In other words, the joint between the upper cover assembly threads 160 of the upper cover 100 and the lower cover assembly threads 260 of the lower cover 200 may be formed adjacent to the annular bend 55 of the glass bottle 1.

[0049] Furthermore, the upper cover 100 and the lower cover 200 may be securely attached together by ultrasonic welding or another adhesive member, with the upper cover 100 and lower cover 200 being screw-connected. Preferably, the adhesive member may have chemical resistance properties.

[0050] The guide ring 300 according to the embodiment of the present invention prevents foreign matter (cleaning solution during cleaning) from entering through the space formed between the outer surface of the glass bottle 1 and the inner surface of the upper cover 100.

[0051] Figures 4-6 show perspective and front views of guide rings according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0052] As shown in Figure 3, the guide ring 300 is fixed to the upper recess 30 of the glass bottle 1. Preferably, the guide ring 300 is formed at the same height as the upper recess 30 and is formed to catch on the annular lip 35 of the glass bottle 1.

[0053] The material of the guide ring 300 may be ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), but is not necessarily limited to this. A guide ring 300 made of EPDM can be easily fixed to the upper recess 30 of the glass bottle 1 due to its excellent adhesive properties and elastic resilience.

[0054] Furthermore, the guide ring 300 may contain carbon. By adding carbon, which is a conductor, static electricity buildup and adverse effects can be prevented, and another antistatic agent for protecting the glass bottle 1 containing the chemicals from static electricity can be omitted.

[0055] As shown in Figure 4, the guide ring 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a first fixing portion 310 formed on the upper part of the outer circumferential surface of the guide ring 300 and configured to be coupled to the lower part of the inner circumferential surface of the cap 400, and a second fixing portion 320 formed on the lower part of the outer circumferential surface of the guide ring 300 and configured to be coupled to the upper part of the inner circumferential surface of the upper cover 100, particularly to the guide ring fixing portion 120.

[0056] The guide ring 300 is fixed between the upper cover 100 of the glass bottle 1 and the glass bottle 1, and between the lower part of the cap 400 and the glass bottle 1. Specifically, the guide ring 300 can more securely interconnect the upper cover 100 and the cap 400 of the glass bottle 1 in such a manner that the inside of the guide ring 300 is fixed to the upper recess 30 of the glass bottle 1, the lower inner surface of the cap 400 is coupled to the first fixing portion 310 of the guide ring 300, and the upper inner surface of the upper cover 100 is coupled to the second fixing portion 320 of the guide ring 300.

[0057] As shown in Figure 2, the guide ring 300 is connected between the upper cover 100 and the cap 400 of the glass bottle 1, thereby filling the space between the upper cover 100 and the cap 400 of the glass bottle 1. This eliminates the risk of foreign matter entering during cleaning.

[0058] Here, the first fixed portion 310 of the guide ring 300 may include a first protruding portion 311 and a second protruding portion 312, which are formed to protrude outward from the outer circumferential surface in a protruding arc shape compared to the overall shape of the first fixed portion 310. Here, the first protruding portion 311 may be formed on the upper part of the first fixed portion 310, and the second protruding portion 312 may be formed on the lower part of the first fixed portion 310 at a distance from the first protruding portion 311.

[0059] The second fixing portion 320 of the guide ring 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an arc-shaped fitting groove 321 that is formed recessed inward from the outer circumferential surface and configured to connect with the guide ring coupling portion 120 of the upper cover 100.

[0060] The shape of the fixing portion formed on the outer circumferential surface of the guide ring 300 is not limited to this, and may be formed in various shapes to securely connect the inner circumferential surfaces of the upper cover 100 and the cap 400, depending on the diameter and shape of the fixing portion on the inner circumferential surface of the upper cover 100 or the fixing portion on the inner circumferential surface of the cap 400.

[0061] For example, as shown in Figure 5, the first fixing portion 310 of the guide ring 300a may include a plurality of protruding portions formed in an arc shape in the circumferential direction of the guide ring 300a and spaced apart at regular intervals in the height direction. Also, as shown in Figure 6, the first fixing portion 310 of the guide ring 300b may include a first line fixing portion 315 including a plurality of protruding portions formed at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the guide ring 300b, a second line fixing portion 316 including a plurality of protruding portions formed at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the guide ring 300, and a third line fixing portion 317 including a plurality of protruding portions formed at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of the guide ring 300. Here, the protruding portions of the second line fixing portion 316 may be located at the bottom between each of the protruding portions of the first line fixing portion 315, and the protruding portions of the third line fixing portion 317 may be located at the bottom between each of the protruding portions of the second line fixing portion 316.

[0062] In other embodiments of the present invention, the second fixing portion 320 of the guide ring 300 may be formed on its inner circumferential surface and fixed so as to cover the guide ring fixing portion 120 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the upper cover 100. In other words, the cover assembly according to embodiments of the present invention includes all of the various structures that can ensure airtightness and waterproofness through the coupling of the guide ring 300 and the upper cover 100, and is not limited to a single embodiment.

[0063] For the sake of explanation, the following description will be based on an embodiment in which the second fixing portion 320 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the guide ring 300.

[0064] Figure 7 shows a perspective view, a front view, and a plan view of a cap according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] The cap 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cap body 410, a protruding cap 420 integrally coupled with the cap body 410 and formed to protrude outward from the outer peripheral surface at the lower part of the outer peripheral surface of the cap 400, a first thread 430 formed on the upper part of the inner peripheral surface of the cap 400, and a second thread 440 formed on the lower part of the inner peripheral surface of the cap 400.

[0066] The first thread 430 formed on the upper part of the inner circumference of the cap 400 connects to the glass bottle thread 20 formed on the glass bottle 1, and the second thread 440 formed on the lower part of the inner circumference of the cap 400 connects to the first fixing portion 310 formed on the guide ring 300 to seal the glass bottle 1. The second thread 440 does not necessarily have to be screw-connected to the first fixing portion 310 of the guide ring 300. Depending on the shape of the first fixing portion 310, various methods can be considered to ensure airtightness and waterproofness by closely connecting the second thread 440 and the first fixing portion 310.

[0067] The cap 400 may further include a plurality of protrusions on the outer circumferential surface of the cap body 410 to facilitate opening and closing the cap 400. The cap 400 may also further include a cap insert 450 to improve the seal between the inner surface of the upper end of the cap 400 and the upper end of the opening 1000 of the glass bottle 1. Here, the material of the cap insert 450 may be Teflon®.

[0068] The additional scope of application of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description herein. However, since various modifications and changes within the spirit and scope of the invention can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art, the detailed description and specific embodiments, such as preferred embodiments, should be understood as being given merely as examples.
