Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the wafer in a carrier case from being damaged due to vibration which follows a deflection of a rotation center axis by executing the position adjustment of a torque adjustment weight so that the moment applied to a rotation shaft becomes equal. CONSTITUTION:An object to be dried (example, a wafer) is set to a carrier case containing part 3 being in a position symmetrical from a rotation shaft 7, and drying of the object to be dried is executed by operating centrifugal force generated by a rotation. In that case, whether a carrier case exists in the carrier case containing part 3 or not and the number of pieces of the wafers are sensed by a sensor 2. Also, a movable weight 5 is provided in a position balanced to the torque applied to the rotation shaft 7. Moreover, by a mechanism consisting of a control part 6a, a motor 6, and a weight moving shaft 4, etc., the position adjustment of the weight 5 is executed by reading a signal from the sensor 2 and calculating a mass difference. As a result, damage of the wafer in the carrier case due to vibration which follows a deflection of a rotation center axis is prevented.

Next is the centrifugal dehydration drying device of the present invention! To explain the operation process, carrier cases containing wafers are respectively stored in carrier case storage sections 3 installed at symmetrical positions with respect to the center of rotation. At this time, 20 wafers are placed in one carrier case, and 10 wafers are placed in the other carrier case. Assuming that the diameter of the wafer is 6 inches, the mass of each wafer is approximately 25 g, so the difference in mass between both carrier case storage sections 3 is 25 g.
Wafer carrier case storage part 3 from the 0 rotation center which is 0 g! The distance at t is 30C11, and the number of rotations is 800.

p, 1. , the height from the rotating shaft 7 to the carrier case storing section 3 is 503. Since the mass difference between the two wafer carrier case storing sections 3 is 250 g, the rotating shaft 7 has a weight of 26.7π.
An unbalanced torque of 2 N-m will be applied. Therefore, the control unit 6a automatically calculates the torque applied to the rotation shaft 7 for one mass difference and the position of the torque adjustment weight 5 that can balance the torque based on the signal from the optical sensor 2, and moves the torque adjustment weight 5 using the motor 6. In this case, the height is 201 from the rotation axis 7! A torque adjustment weight 5 with a mass of 1 kg attached to the wafer is moved from the center to a position 19 (+11) by rotating the weight moving shaft 4 with the motor 6 in the opposite direction to the carrier case storage section 3 containing 20 wafers. So,
The torques applied to the rotating shaft 7 are balanced and no vibration occurs.

In the first embodiment, during the process until the rotating tank 9 reaches the target rotation speed, the torque applied to the rotating shaft 7 may be unbalanced and vibration may occur, but in the second embodiment, vibrations may occur before the target rotation speed. Torque adjustment weight 5 according to the rotation speed
Since the position of the rotating shaft 7 is adjusted, the torque applied to the rotating shaft 7 is balanced even before the rotational speed becomes stable, and there is an advantage that vibration does not occur at all times.
