Description
The application requires the priority of the provisional application 60/251025 of submission on December 4th, 2000, and described application is incorporated herein by reference.
Technical field
The application relates to the carrier that is used for semiconductor wafer, but and relates in particular to a kind of closed container that is used to store and transport wafer.
Background technology
In semiconductor machining industry, utilize the salable shell that is commonly referred to as transportation module depositing and transporting wafer between each procedure of processing and/or between each equipment for many years.Semiconductor chip is to be easy to by such as the contaminants of particle and be celebrated.Take special measure to eliminate the clean room and deposit wafer at this place and wafer process is become pollutant in other environment of circuit.
For in the 200mm scope or littler wafer, utilized the container that is known as SMIF case (standardized mechanical interface), the sealing subenvironment of cleaning is provided.The example of these casees is shown in United States Patent (USP) 4532970 and 4534389.The transparent box-like housing of this SMIF case general using, this housing has the door of lower gate framework or flange and breech locked, and lower gate framework or flange limit the bottom of an opening.Door frame is clamped on the process equipment, and the door of the bottom SMIF case of the door of process equipment and sealing open bottom is simultaneously the sealing processing environment in housing drops to described process equipment downwards.Be positioned on the upper surface inboard of SMIF chamber door and an independent H bar carrier that carries wafer along with chamber door descends, be used near and the described wafer of processing.In this case, deposit with transportation in the weight of wafer act directly on the door.
Semiconductor machining industry is towards using bigger and heavier wafer, the particularly direction of 30mm wafer to develop.The transportation module that is used for this wafer utilizes the door of open front to insert and remove wafer, and opposite with the door of the bottom of landing downwards from module.This is the load of supporting wafer not, but a container part is with the load of bearing wafer, this container part comprises plastics (such as the Merlon) housing of a cleaning and the container part of other elements, be used for supporting wafer, other elements are by low molded the forming of plastics (such as polyether-ether-ketone (polyetheretberketone)) of sending out grain (lowparticle generating).This container part must be made by a plurality of parts that are assembled into together.
Industrial standard for this 300mm module needs a mechanical interface in the bottom of module, connect device such as kinematic pair, so that repeatedly and accurately module is aimed at respect to process equipment.This allows the door on robot maniputator's splice module front side, opens door, and with the precision clamping of required size and the wafer of mobile specified level layout.(located) and damage are not vital so that wafer can not misplace in the process of described wafer is removed and inserted in robot to make wafer be positioned at certain height and orientation with reference to the plant machinery interface.
On 300mm wafer size and the weight significantly greater than the 200mm module; Therefore, need module firmer on the structure to transport in batch wafer.Generally for the SIMF case of 200mm, module only simply the lower limb of the junction point of door flange by catching housing and door come manual transporting.Case for bottom opening is provided with handle in case top.In order to carry bigger, the heavier and huge module that is used for the 300mm wafer, side handle is suitable.For specific purposes, can move the 300mm module by means of the robot device specially.This robot device finishes the work by the flange that promotes on the upper surface of carrier top.
Processing, deposit or transportation in, in given range chip container as much as possible being assembled into is useful together.Especially in the factory that is of great rarity in the space (fab), will load or the chip container of unloaded is stacked can save the space, and can be easily near a plurality of chip containers.Usually, the chip container that can deposit in given range is good more more at most.
Mechanical interface on the 300mm chip container bottom provides a highly stable detent mechanism when this container is connected with the process equipment that is equipped with kinematic pair to connect device, yet, up to now, one on one stacked this chip container be accompanied by danger, and general this wafer carrier can not be stacked.Need a kind of device of in a little space, stablizing the stacked wafer carrier.
In addition, any position in semiconductor carrier or container uses metal fastenings or other metal partss not to expect very much.Metal parts can produce the particle of height damageability when friction or scraping.The assembling of module and securing member can cause this friction and scraping.Thereby, avoid using the transportation module that needs metal fastenings or other metal partss.Thereby, avoid utilizing the stacked device of metal fastenings.
Summary of the invention
The chip container of open front has the container part of band transparent shell and closes the door of open front.Container part has mechanical interface on housing bottom, connect device as kinematic pair, and generally has socket in case top, to receive the annex that promotes flange such as robot.Adaptor plate has the mechanical interface part that matches ideally, to allow wafer carrier stacked.In a preferred embodiment, this plug has the sliding bearing guidance part, and this guidance part has the undercut part, is used to keep robot to promote flange or adaptor plate.Annex has the ratchet that is positioned on the annex ideally, so that described annex is latched in position on the container part releasedly.
The features and advantages of the present invention are that chip container can have traditional robot and handle feature, and also have reliable stacked ability.Stacking adaptor plate removably is placed on or is fixed on the container part, so that provide a reliable pedestal for the mechanical interface of wanting stacked chip container thereon.A plurality of chip containers can be stacked to together so that save factory floor space.
Other feature and advantage of specific embodiment of the present invention are that stacking adaptor plate provides 3 contacts for the upper wafer container that adaptor plate supported, and for the supporting adaptor plate the lower wafer carrier 3 contacts are provided.
