Abstract

The present invention relates to a shield-type air inlet/outlet structure for transport container, and particularly to a shield-type air inlet/outlet structure for transport container that improves cleanness and prevent occurrence of damage on reticles. The transport container includes a base and an enclosure, which can be closed to each other. Furthermore, a top face of the base is provided with an inverted U-shaped support consisting of two support members and a pressing member for supporting a reticle. Moreover, the air inlet/outlet structure includes at least two air inlet/outlet members that selectively generate air-tightness effects and are installed on the base. The two air inlet/outlet members are set within the ranges of the hollow support members. As a result, when the transport container is set on a corresponding device, a corresponding opening/closing device installed on the device can be used to selectively open the two air inlet/outlet members of transport container for injecting clean gas into the interior of the closed transport container and draining the gas inside the transport container, so that the gas is set in a circulative flow condition by getting into and out of the interior of the transport container to thereby maintaining cleanness inside the transport container over a long period of time. Meanwhile, since the air inlet/outlet structure is installed below the supporting members, air currents can be prevented from impinging directly on the surface of recticle so that the surface of reticle can be prevented from being damaged.

Description of the invention: [Technical field of the invention] The invention relates to the technical field of the light-transfer capacity, in particular to avoid the airflow damage to the transfer container of the reticle, and can be maintained for a long time Control the cleanliness and environmental conditions inside the transfer tank. [Prior Art] ” Due to the continuous development of electronic products, such as light, short, high-frequency, high-efficiency, the core chips used in electronic products must be further miniaturized and highly efficient, and the wafers must be miniaturized. The wire diameter of the integrated circuit on the high-efficiency/吏 wafer is refined to accommodate more integrated components. Therefore, the existing integrated circuit wire diameter has been developed by the early 〇25“^沾士45奈料process, and The wire diameter of the integrated circuit on the wafer is micro: „, mainly in the yellow light micro-scanning stepper in the semiconductor process [(10)·] and the reticle in the case of the reticle as an example] when the surface of the reticle is attached with particles or the atomization guide is washed Made in the city of annihilation, the yak conductor is dust-free, regardless of the solvent, and the second: right shadow or etching, etc., all of which require the use of a lot of pests during process heating or exposure. In the process of water rolling, etc. in the brothers, ========================================================================================================== Harmful substances such as water and gas do not enter the immediate vicinity The second one ensures the particles, but the aforementioned dense-transfer system cannot overcome the problems caused by the harmful substances in the residual material. In the case of the reticle, the cause of the viscous fouling is further included in addition to the particles. Moisture in the environment, toxic gases, sulfides released from plastic transfer containers and ammonia remaining in the process of making the mask or the material on the mask itself (nh4+), and residues in the mask cleaning process For the harmful substances such as chemical molecules, for example, the chemical formula is (NH〇2S〇4, which is a high-energy light source of ammonia (NH4+) and sulfate ion (S〇t) released by the above different reasons. It is combined with environmental water and gas, so it often happens after the mask is cleaned and then stored for a period of time. As long as it is exposed to ultraviolet light in the yellow lithography process, it will crystallize, causing the main problem. The reason is that the airtightness of the storage container is insufficient, so that the particles and water molecules in the ambient air outside the transfer container are continuously infiltrated, thereby providing the elements required for the chemical reaction. The main device is made of plastic. The plastic material will continuously release harmful substances such as sulfides, and the external gas will penetrate into the reticle, and react with the reticle pattern material or the ammonia in the transfer container to cause harmful substances to adhere. In order to solve these problems, the industry has developed a stainless steel inner cover in the transfer container of the reticle. In addition to the effect of generating static electricity, it can be used to absorb plastic. The sulphide released by the material is simultaneously filled with a filling and filling structure on the transfer container for injecting a clean inert gas into the transfer container, and extruding the harmful gas in the transfer container, and further improving The transfer container is airtight to prevent the entry of external particles, such as the Chinese Patent Publication Nos. 223680 and 1262164, etc., all of which improve the airtightness of the transfer container by changing the structure of the transfer container. However, the improvement of airtightness is a major project, which not only needs to increase the cost of development, molding and assembly, 6 200927593 and is affected by factors such as material, cover force and cover contact area. The gas is completely airtight, so the gas in the transfer container will still gradually lose out. Because the particles and water molecules are extremely small, the hazardous materials in the external environment such as particles and water molecules remain after the storage container is stored for a long time. Will gradually infiltrate into the interior of the transfer container, and lose the role of maintaining the cleanliness of the mask, which will cause fouling, atomization and crystallization of the mask and the mask film, further affecting the yield of subsequent wafer processing. , production and cost. Furthermore, the above-mentioned photomask case with a filling and filling structure mainly has its inflation® valve member disposed on the base or the cover of the photomask case so as to directly communicate with the inside of the photomask case, so that when the inflating device is inflated When the valve member is inflated, the airflow will directly impact the surface of the reticle, causing the residual particles in the gas to directly hit the graphic material on the surface of the reticle. Even the strong airflow will damage the pattern and damage the reticle pattern. Defective products are formed during the round manufacturing, so further improvements are needed. The reason is that in order to overcome the problem that the inflated airflow of the transfer container is easy to damage and the reticle pattern, and to meet the needs of maintaining the internal cleanliness for a long time, and actively seeking solutions, after continuous efforts and research, Finally, a shielded inlet and outlet structure of the transfer container was successfully developed, which can overcome the trouble that the existing transfer container is easy to damage the reticle pattern when inflating, and further maintain the cleanliness and control environmental conditions inside the transfer container. . SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [Technical Means for Solving the Problem] Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a shielded inlet and outlet structure for a transfer container that can prevent damage to a reticle pattern, thereby extending the life of the reticle 7 200927593. The type can be constructed for a long time to avoid the harmful substances in the micro-processor can be effectively reduced. In addition, another main purpose of the present invention is to provide a shielded gas-injection or water-gas content of the transfer capacity of the internal cleanliness. When harmful substances enter, and can accelerate the release of the wearing capacity, and reduce the mask cleaning and re-manufacturing: operating costs. |
