In this embodiment, the cleaning unit 20 includes a compressor 21 and at least two ion wind bars 22. The compressor 21 is an air extractor for sucking dust from the chamber 40. The at least two ion wind bars 22 and the compressor 21 are oppositely disposed at two ends of the chamber 40 in the housing 10, so that the wind direction in the mask cleaning device 100 is from the ion wind bars 22 to the compressor 21. Further, the housing 10 leaves only the opposite ends of the ion wind bar 22 and the compressor 21 disposed in fluid communication with the outside. The ion wind rod 22 is located between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12. The ion wind bar 22 is configured to generate a flow of positively and negatively charged nitrogen gas. Further, the air volume of the air outlet duct 222 is adjustable.
Referring to fig. 2, each of the ion wind bars 22 has a duct 221 and a plurality of wind outlet channels 222 protruding from the surface of the duct 221. Each air outlet channel 222 has a circular air outlet. The nitrogen gas flow in the ion wind rod 22 is blown out from the wind outlet channel 222. Each ion wind rod 22 can rotate around the rotation axis of the cylindrical pipe 221 to adjust the orientation of the wind outlet channel 222. For example, the ion wind bar 22 may be rotated 360 ° around the axis. The at least two ion wind rods 22 include a first ion wind rod 22a and a second ion wind rod 22b, wherein the first ion wind rod 22a is disposed near the first support plate 11, and the second ion wind rod 22b is disposed near the second support plate 12.
Further, referring to fig. 3, a space between the first ion wind bar 22a and the second ion wind bar 22b is used for placing a mask 50 to be cleaned.
Further, each air outlet duct 222 of the ion air bar 22 corresponds to the first pressure sensor 111 or the second pressure sensor 121. For example, the number of the first pressure sensors 111 is matched with the number of the air outlet ducts 222 of the first ion air bar 22a, and the first pressure sensors are correspondingly arranged; the number of the second pressure sensors 121 is matched with that of the second ion wind bars 22b, and the second pressure sensors are correspondingly arranged. The first pressure sensor 111 and/or the second pressure sensor 121 are configured to detect a wind force of the outlet air duct 222. For example, the first ion wind bar 22a and the second ion wind bar 22b can rotate around the rotation axis to adjust the orientation of the wind outlet duct 222.

The second support plate 12 forms an included angle with the horizontal plane, which is helpful for moving the dust blown off by cleaning to the lower end of the second support plate 12, namely to the compressor 21; by utilizing the suction effect of the compressor 21, dust can be effectively discharged out of the chamber 40, the cleanliness in the chamber 40 is increased, and the chamber 40 becomes a dust-free chamber.
In an embodiment, the first support plate 11 is provided with a first detection sensor 112, the second support plate 12 is provided with a second detection sensor 122, and the first detection sensor 112 and the second detection sensor 122 are oppositely arranged. The first detecting sensor 112 is used for emitting signals, and the second detecting sensor 122 is used for receiving the signals emitted by the first detecting sensor 112. The first detection sensor 112 and the second detection sensor 122 which are oppositely arranged can accurately detect the position of the mask 50 in the cavity 40; in addition, the light shield 50 can be prevented from protruding into the cavity 40 too much to collide with other components. Further, the first detection sensor 112 and the second detection sensor 122 are preferably located between the compressor 21 and the ion wind bar 22, and are disposed near the compressor 21 for detecting and determining the placement position of the mask 50. For example, the first detection sensor 112 and the second detection sensor 122 may detect the existence of the mask 50, and may adjust and control the position of the mask 50 according to the detection result.
In one embodiment, a grid-like partition 30 is disposed on each side of the compressor 21 along the airflow direction of the compressor 21. The mesh-shaped partition plate 30 disposed between the compressor 21 and the first detection sensor 112 may protect the compressor 21 from being hit by the light shield 50.
In one embodiment, the mask cleaning apparatus 100 further comprises a robot (not shown) for moving the mask 50 to be cleaned into the chamber 40 such that the mask 50 is located between the first ion wind bar 22a and the second ion wind bar 22 b. By adjusting the orientations of the air outlet channels 222 of the first ion air bar 22a and the second ion air bar 22b, the upper and lower surfaces of the mask 50 can be simultaneously purged by the first ion air bar 22a and the second ion air bar 22 b. The blowing range of the air outlet channel 222 of the ion air bar 22 covers the whole mask 50. Preferably, the angle between the air outlet channel 222 and the light shield 50 during purging is less than 45 °.
Specifically, the robot arm is used to drive the mask 50 to move into the chamber 40 of the mask cleaning apparatus 100, and when the first detecting sensor 112 and the second detecting sensor 122 detect that the mask 50 reaches the target position, the robot arm stops moving; the compressor 21 and the ion wind bar 22 start to work, and the ion wind bar 22 performs purging on the surface of the light shield 50; the mechanical arm drives the light shield 50 to move towards the outside of the light shield cleaning device 100 (away from the compressor 21), and at this time, the air outlet channels 222 of the ion air bars 22 on the two sides are aligned with the light shield 50, so that the surface of the light shield 50 can be purged. In addition, the air volume of the air outlet duct 222 can be adjusted as required to avoid blowing the surface film protection layer of the mask 50.
The mask cleaning apparatus 100 of the present application may be installed in an exposure machine or may be installed separately.
To sum up, the light shield cleaning device of this application not only can avoid blowing through light shield lower surface film protective layer, and improves the cleaning efficiency.
