Abstract
An air knife is disclosed. Air knife according to an embodiment of the present invention, the pipe; A slot hole formed in the longitudinal direction of the pipe and discharging the fluid introduced into the pipe; And at least one slot gap fixture coupled to the pipe to pressurize the pipe.
Description
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a drying technique, and more particularly to an air knife.
In general, sheet-like members, such as various substrates or films used in semiconductor wafers, photo masks, flat panel display devices, etc., clean the surfaces contaminated with dust, organic matter, foreign matters, etc. through a series of processing steps. Such a washing process includes a washing step of supplying a cleaning liquid to the surface of the sheet-like member to wash the sheet-like member, and a drying step of removing deionized water from the surface of the sheet-like member after the washing step.
In general, in the drying process, deionized water deposited on the surface of the sheet-like member is removed by using an air knife installed in the drying chamber. Specifically, the fluid is sprayed through the air knife onto the surface of the sheet-like member being transferred to push out the deionized water present on the surface of the sheet-like member out of the sheet-like member to remove the deionized water.
However, the conventional air knife has a problem in that the structure of the air knife is complicated, so that the manufacturing process according to processing and assembly takes a long time and a lot of manufacturing cost is consumed. In addition, the conventional air knife sprays the fluid through a plurality of discharge ports spaced apart from each other. In this case, the fluid is not uniformly sprayed to all the areas in front of the air knife, and thus, on the sheet-shaped member at a position corresponding to the vicinity of the boundary of each discharge port. There is a problem that stains occur.
An embodiment of the present invention is to provide an air knife that can prevent the occurrence of stains on the sheet-like member.
1. An air knife according to an embodiment of the present invention, a pipe; A slot hole formed in a length direction of the upper pipe and discharging the fluid introduced into the upper pipe; And at least one slot gap fixer coupled to the pipe to pressurize the pipe.
2. In 1, the upper slot gap fixing portion is composed of a clamp open on one side, it is coupled to the upper pipe so that the open portion of the upper clamp is located in the upper slot hole.
3. In 1, the upper slot gap fixing part comprises a first tightening member for adjusting the pressure applied to the upper pipe.
4. In 1, the air knife comprises: a fluid supply pipe connected to both ends of the pipe and receiving fluid from the outside; A sealing member interposed between the upper pipe and the fluid supply pipe; And a pipe coupling part for coupling the pipe and the fluid supply pipe.
5. In 4, the pipe coupling portion includes a second tightening member for adjusting the degree of coupling of the pipe and the fluid supply pipe.
6. In 1, the air knife further includes a pipe moving part installed at both ends of the pipe to move the pipe.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the fluid is discharged through the slot holes continuously formed in the longitudinal direction of the pipe, the fluid can be uniformly discharged to the area in front of the pipe to prevent staining on the surface of the object to be dried. Can be. Then, since only the slot hole is formed in the longitudinal direction of the pipe, the air knife can be manufactured quickly and easily. In addition, since only the pipe needs to be rotated, the direction of the fluid discharged through the slot hole can be easily adjusted.
