Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the semiconductor wafer processing apparatus of the present invention includes a load port module (LPM) 10 on which a FOUP 13 storing a plurality of wafers is loaded, and a load. A wafer transfer module (EFEM) 30 disposed between the port module 10 and the process module (PM) 20 and the wafer transfer module 30 is disposed on one side of the wafer transfer module 30. storage room 40 for temporarily storing w).

The load port module 10 is an apparatus for loading or unloading the wafer w for processing into the wafer transfer module 30. The load port module 10 is provided with a plate 11 on which the pull 13 is mounted. The load port module 10 opens the pull 13 and performs a function of carrying out a wafer (not shown) loaded in the pull 13 into the wafer transfer module 30.

Load port module 10 is provided with a plurality, one or more of them are supplied to the process module 20 for processing the unprocessed wafers stored in the pool 13, the rest is processed in the process module 20 The processed wafer w can be stored in the pool 13.

When the transfer 13 transfers the wafer w to the load port module 10 from the outside, and transfers the processed wafer w to another process, the pull 13 blocks contact between the wafer and oxygen and conveniently transfers the wafer w. It is an apparatus for doing so.

The pull 13 forms a case shape and may be opened and closed with a door provided at one surface thereof. A plurality of slots for loading wafers are formed on the inner wall of the pull 13 so that the plurality of wafers are loaded without being in contact with each other.

The wafer transfer module 30 takes out the wafer inside the pull 13 mounted on the load port module 10 and supplies the wafer to the process module 20, or loads the wafer processed in the process module 20 into the load port module ( 10) to loosen or transfer to store in the storage room (40).

The wafer transfer module 30 has a cassette transfer robot (not shown) installed therein. The cassette transfer robot is capable of forward and backward and up and down and left and right movements by a separate driving device, and withdraws the wafer from the pull 13 of the load port module 10 through forward and backward and up and down and left and right movements to process module 20 or storage. It serves to transfer to the room (40).

The process module 20 is an area where an actual process such as heat treatment, thin film, deposition, and etching for processing a wafer is performed. The process module 20 may be disposed in plurality around the wafer transfer module 30.

The storage room 40 is a temporary storage place before storing the wafer w in the pull 13 for thermal stabilization of the wafer in which the actual process is performed.

The wafer w is subjected to a heat treatment for the purpose of diffusing impurities or annealing. Since the wafer is heat treated, the wafer is contaminated and stored directly in the pool 13 of the load port module 10. The wafer may be contaminated, or the wafer may be fumed due to high temperature, or thermal damage such as wafer damage may occur. Deformation may occur.

Since the pull 13 is made of a plastic material, when the wafer having a heat state is stored inside the pull 13, the wafer may be contaminated in the pool 13 by melting the plastic.

Contaminated or fumed wafers require additional processes such as fume removal and cleaning processes, increasing the number of processes and raising semiconductor prices.

2 and 3, the storage room 40 includes a storage space 41 having a plurality of slots 47 for loading a wafer w, and a storage room 40. And a door member 51 disposed between the wafer transfer module 30 and opening and closing the storage space 41 into the wafer transfer module 30, and an injection nozzle unit supplying nitrogen to the storage space 41 ( 53 and suction means 55 connected to the storage space 41. The suction means 55 has a pressure lower than that of the storage space 41, and sucks nitrogen and oxygen from the storage space 41 and discharges it to the outside.

The storage room 40 is in the shape of a box that is integrally provided on one side of the wafer transfer module 30, and a rear surface of the storage room 40 that is in contact with the wafer transfer module 30 is bored into the wafer transfer module 30. By opening the door member 51, the storage space 41 may be opened into the wafer transfer module 30 to store the wafer w.

The door member 51 is movable up and down by a power source such as a lifting motor (not shown), and opens or shields the storage space 41 into the wafer transfer module 30 through vertical movement.

The storage space 41 is divided into two independent spaces by the separating plate 45, and each space is provided with a plurality of slots 47 for loading the wafer w. Since the storage space 41 is divided into two independent spaces, the slot 47 may be disposed without an empty space, and the wafer w may be stored in the storage space 41 as much as possible. In the present embodiment, the slot can be expanded in the storage space 41 from at least one to a maximum of 100.

The slot 47 is for loading more wafers w into the storage space and is supported by the columnar frame 43. A plurality of slots 47 may be formed in the pillar-shaped frame 43 so that the plurality of wafers w may be loaded without being in contact with each other.

The slot 47 may be made of a heat resistant material, for example, stainless steel.

Preferably, three pillars are formed at intervals of 120 degrees, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the number of pillars may be different if the number and the intervals can stably support the wafer w.

As shown in FIG. 4, the slot 47 has a contact point portion 49 formed on a contact surface where the edge of the wafer w is supported such that the wafer w is in point contact with the contact surface of the slot 47. The point contact minimizes the friction between the wafer w and the contact surface of the slot 47 to prevent damage and contamination of the wafer loaded into the slot 47.

The contact point portion 49 has an insertion groove 49a roundly recessed in the contact surface, and is formed by a hemispherical ridge 49d protruding at the same height as both edges 49b and 49c of the contact surface in the center of the insertion groove. It forms a three-point contact point. The three-point contact point portion stably supports the wafer w while preventing damage and contamination of the wafer w.

The injection nozzle part 53 injects nitrogen gas into the storage space 41 to cool the hot wafer w loaded in the storage space 41 and removes oxygen from the storage space 41. Nitrogen gas does not react with the wafer (w), the cost is low, and the cost reduction effect is high.

The injection nozzle unit 53 is installed in a plurality of upper and left and right in the storage space 41 of the storage room 40. The plurality of injection nozzle parts 53 provided on the upper side, the left side, and the right side can supply nitrogen gas uniformly to the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer w to rapidly cool the high temperature wafer w.

The injection nozzle part 53 is branched toward the storage space 41 of the storage room 40 from the main pipe 52 of a rectangular frame shape. The main pipe 52 is provided with a valve 52a.

Suction means 55 is one or more suction pipes 57 formed with a suction port communicating with the storage space 41 on one side, and the suction pump 59 is connected to the other side of the suction pipe 57 to apply pressure to the suction pipe (57) It includes. The suction pipe 57 is provided with a valve (not shown).

The suction means 55 allows the residual gas remaining on the wafer w to be completely removed after the processing. If the residual gas is not completely removed, particles may be generated on the wafer w or a pattern defect may occur due to the residual gas, thereby causing a process defect.

The pressure of the suction means 55 is in the range of 1 to 2000 kpa. The pressure of the suction means 55 has a pressure lower than the pressure of the storage space 41 to suck nitrogen and oxygen from the storage space 41 and discharge it to the outside. The suction means 55 generates a flow of nitrogen gas injected from the injection nozzle unit 53 by a pressure difference with the storage space 41 to allow suction of nitrogen and oxygen. In this embodiment, the suction pipes 57 are arranged to be symmetrically disposed on the front and side surfaces of the storage room 40, respectively.

The storage room 40 may be provided with a sensor (not shown) capable of measuring the flow rate and temperature of the nitrogen gas. The sensing sensor may sense the temperature and flow rate of nitrogen gas just before being sucked up after cooling the wafer.

The operation of the present invention will be described below.

The process of taking out the wafer loaded in the load port module, processing it in the process module, storing the processed wafer in the storage room for cooling and oxygen removal, and then storing the wafer in the load port module again. Let's explain.

First, when the inside of the pool 13 of the load port module 10 is opened, the cassette transport robot inside the wafer transport module 30 takes out the wafer loaded in the pool 13 into the wafer transport module 30. do. The unloaded wafer is transferred to the process module 20 to perform an actual process such as heat treatment, thin film, deposition, and etching.

In this case, since the load port module 10, the wafer transfer module 30, and the process module 20 are designed to be compact so that the copper wire of the wafer w is minimized, the process speed of the wafer w may be improved and the wafer w may be processed. Can be prevented from being exposed to the outside, thereby increasing the yield of the process.

The wafer processed in the process module 20 is integrally attached to one side of the wafer transfer module 30 before being taken out of the process module 20 by the semiconductor transfer robot and stored in the pull 13 of the load port module 10. It is stored first in the arranged storage room 40.

In the process of storing the wafer w in the storage room 40, the door member 51 of the storage room 40 moves upward by the operation of the lifting motor, and the storage space 41 of the storage room 40 moves to the wafer. By opening into the transfer module 30.

When the storage space 41 is opened, the wafer transfer robot transfers the processed wafers w and loads them into the slots 47 of the storage space 41 one by one.

At this time, since the slot 47 has a structure in which the three-point contact point portion 49 is formed on the contact surface on which the edge of the wafer w is supported, friction and damage of the wafer w are prevented in loading the wafer w. do.

When the wafer (w) is loaded in the storage space 41 by repeating this operation, the lifting motor is operated to shield the storage space 41 by moving the door member 51 upward.

When the storage space 41 of the storage room 40 is shielded, the suction means 55 is operated to apply pressure by injecting nitrogen gas into the storage space 41 and simultaneously removing oxygen.

The pressure of the suction means 55 is a nitrogen gas flow by the pressure difference in the range of 1 ~ 2000kpa.

The nitrogen gas injection cools the high temperature wafer w loaded in the storage space 41, and the nitrogen gas whose temperature has risen is discharged to the outside by the suction means together with the oxygen. Therefore, the storage space 41 of the storage room 40 is rapidly cooled of the wafer w, the fumes remaining on the wafer w are removed, and particle generation is prevented.

This can reduce the cooling time for the high temperature wafer w, thereby improving the productivity of the semiconductor manufacturing process.

When the cooling of the wafer is completed through the above-described series of processes, after stopping the operation of the nitrogen gas injection and suction means, the lifting motor is operated to move the door member 51 upward to open the storage space 41. .

Whether the cooling of the wafer is completed is determined based on the detection result of the detection sensor provided in the storage room 40.

Then, when the storage space 41 of the storage room 40 is opened, the wafer transfer robot takes the wafer w out of the storage space into the wafer transfer module 30 and stores it in the pull of the load port module 10. Finally, the wafer stored in the pool 13 is conveyed for the next step.

It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is capable of many modifications and alterations, all of which are within the scope of the appended claims. It is self-evident.
