Abstract

A two stage opener (50) for an EUV RSP (32, 34) includes an outer RSP pod opener (42, 44) having: 1. a RSP latch mechanism (42rlm) for latching a sealed outer RSP pod (32, 34) in place on the RSP pod opener (42, 44); and 2. a RSP lock/unlock mechanism (42lulm) for unlocking the RSP pod (32, 34) so the RSP pod opener (42, 44) can separate a RSP pod cover (32c, 343c) from a RSP pod door (32d, 34d). After the RSP lock/unlock mechanism (42lulm) unlocks the RSP pod (32, 34), the RSP pod opener (42, 44) separates the RSP pod door (32d, 34d) from the RSP pod cover (32c, 34c) thereby exposing a metal case (20). The pod opener (50) also includes a metal case opener (52) having at least two (2) arms (56) for receiving and supporting the metal case cover (22) while the two stage pod opener (50) separates the metal case base (24) from the metal case cover (22) thereby exposing the bare reticle (26) carried om the metal case base (24).

Description of the Invention: Field of the Invention The present disclosure generally relates to the technical field of photolithography manufacturing equipment, and more particularly to an opening mechanism for a cover box. A photolithography reticle is coated. C previous body; 3 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION When the semiconductor line width is continuously shortened to less than 22 nm, the circuit printing lithography tool can no longer use a conventional mask covered by a film (also known as a reticle) ). When an extreme ultraviolet ("EUV") source is used, it is necessary to print a lithography pattern having a line width of less than 22 nm on a product that distort and/or absorb light. Thereby reducing image quality. To avoid pattern distortion, exposing a lithography pattern with a line width of less than 22 nm requires the use of: 1. EUV source; and 2. - Bare glass reticle. Historically, a protective film has been used to critically protect particles from falling directly onto the reticle patterned glass surface. The contamination of the patterned glass surface of a reticle due to particles immediately affects the throughput of the printed product, ie, the production of integrated circuit ("IC") grains on a wafer. . The film is removed from the reticle to accommodate a 22 nm or narrower line width for epipolar printing, creating a problem for storing and carrying bare glass reticle while avoiding particle contamination when using the reticle. 201206787 The International Semiconductor Equipment Materials Industry Association ("SEMI's") solution for storing and carrying bare glass reticle in a typical clean room environment is: 1. A metal box 'in Figure 1A The general component symbol 20 is used to carry the bare glass reticle; it is wrapped in a conventional plastic box. The Figure 1A diagram illustrates the metal case 20 having a reticle 26 (the reticle 26) disposed on the base 24 when its cover 22 is opened over its base 24. A conventional plastic case for storing and carrying a bare glass reticle 26 wrapped in the metal case 20 is a well-known reticle standard mechanical interface ("SMIF") cover case or RSP. FIG. 1B illustrates a 2 〇〇 RS RSP, indicated by the symbol 32, which can cover the metal case 20, and the ic diagram shows a 150 metric RSP, indicated by the component symbol 34, which can also be packaged. Cover the metal box 2〇. The main differences between the two different RSPs 32, 34 are: 1♦ mechanical dimensions; and 2. locking mechanisms and locations. The SEMI standard is specified for two different Rsps 32, 34 and the configuration of the metal box 2〇. The SEMI standard looks to keep the metal box seated closed when it is outside an extremely clean environment. The environment is non-contaminating particles such as when the metal box 2 is tied to a vacuum chamber. According to the SEMI standard, a closed metal case 2 cover 22 is not fixed to the cymbal base 24. That is, a closed metal box 2 cover 22 is easily pulled up from the "base" 24 to expose the % of the reticle stored therein. The §£^1 standard is also provided for the handles disposed on the cover 22 - detailed specifications, 4 201206787 whereby the cover 22 (four) is automatically raised from the base 24 by - (4) 贞 or by mechanical means. Similar to the metal case 20, the two RSPs 32, 34 include a cover that is separable from the base of the two. The upper half of the RSPs 32, 34 are generally known or referred to as cover boxes 32c, 34c, respectively, and the lower half of the Rsps 32, 34. The file is known as the cover door Kd, 34d. As shown in Figures 2A and 2B, respectively, the stipulations indicate that the metal 麓 20 female is placed on the hood door 32d, 34d and is restrained by the internal fixing member to prevent the metal case 2 from being smashed in the hood. The doors 32d, 34d are free to move. After the clamshell covers 32c, 34c are closed and engaged with the cover doors 32d, 34d to seal the RSPs 32, 34, the attachments attached to the cover covers 32c, 34c are constrained to secure the metal 20 without being in the RSP 32, The inside of the 34 is moved while the RSp 32, 34 is being transported by an automated device or operator in an ic manufacturing facility. As specified in SEMIk E-19.4 for 200 mm rsp 32, and SEMI standard E-100 for 150 mm Rsp 34, RSp 32 '% includes a locking mechanism to secure the cover lids 32c, 34c to the cover Box doors 32d, 34d. Our design and manufacture of EUV RSPs 32, 34 must comply with SEMI standards, so EUV enclosure opening mechanism manufacturers can design proprietary opening/closing mechanisms that comply with this appropriate SEMI standard. Therefore, the design of the metal box 2〇 and RSp32, 34 is not a subject of this disclosure. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present disclosure to provide an opening mechanism for a cover that encases and carries a bare lithography reticle. 5 201206787 Another object of the present disclosure is to provide an opening mechanism for a cover that encloses and carries a bare lithography reticle that is simple.

Another object of the present disclosure is to provide an opening mechanism for a cover that encases and carries a bare lithography reticle that prevents contamination of the reticle. Briefly, the disclosed herein is a two-loaded desktop opening mechanism for a cover that encases and carries a bare lithography reticle. The reticle cover case includes an outer RSP cover having: 201206787 1. an RSP cover door adapted to receive a metal case, the metal case being adapted to receive and wrap the a bare reticle; and a RSP hood cover that engages and locks the RSp hood door to encase the metal case within the sealed outer Rsp hood. The metal case comprises: 1. a metal case base adapted to receive the bare mark piece; and 2. a metal case cover and the metal having the bare mark piece received thereon The cartridge base engages to enclose the bare tab in the metal case within the sealed outer RSP cover.

In Figure 3A, the symbol 42 is used to open and close the SEMI standard E-19.4 200 mm RSP32; or 2. In Figure 3B, the component symbol 44 indicates Used to open and close the SEMI standard E-100 150% RSP 34. The design of the RSP hood opening mechanism of the standard Fortrend Engineering Corporation 42, 44 adds a second mechanism for opening the inner metal casing 20 after opening the Rsps 32, 34. In other words, the Euv cover opening mechanism disclosed herein has two sub-assemblies. The first assembly (the existing RSP cover opening mechanism 42, 44) is a mechanism for opening the RSPs 32, 34; and the second assembly, an inner casing opening mechanism for opening the metal case 2 Agency. Since the metal case 20 cannot enter until the rsps 32, 34 are turned on, the section of the 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42 illustrated in FIG. 3A is described below to explain the structure thereof. The complete open sequence for the 2 〇〇 RS RSP32 is exemplified. The 15 inch male RSP cover opening mechanism 44 operates similarly to the following description, except that the cover locking mechanism is different from the locking mechanism of the 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42. This locking/decommissioning included in any of the RSP hood opening mechanisms 42, 44 is not the subject of this disclosure. 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42 The 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42 is a "3-axis" electrification system 201206787 system, which includes: 1. An RSP latch shown in Figures 4A and 4B a lock mechanism 42rlm disposed at the top of the 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42; 2. An RSP locking/unlocking mechanism 421ulm shown in FIG. 4C, which is disposed in FIG. 4B The undercarriage 42pt is shown below; and 3. a hood elevator 42pte as shown in 4D-4G. The RSP latch mechanism 42rlm uses a dual motor, double latch mechanism. When the 2 inch RSP 32 is placed on the cover table 42pt of the 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42 shown in FIG. 4, the RSP latch mechanism 42rlm will be 200 mm RSP 32. The latch is in place. The RSP latching mechanism 42rlm includes two (2) latch assemblies 421a illustrated in Figures 4A and 4B, respectively, along opposite sides of the 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42. Configuration. Each of the latch assemblies 42 la includes a linear motor 421m that linearly drives a friction bar 42fr. An arm member 42aa having a 90 degree angle and a rotating shaft 42rs of a loop 42or are mounted such that the loop 42or presses the friction rod 42fr. The friction bar 42fr is linearly moved, and the ring 42or is rotated in relation to the rotating shaft 42rs, thereby latching the cover door 32d of the 200 mm RSP 32 on the cover table 42pt. The latch assemblies 421a are preferably symmetrically disposed on opposite sides of the 2"-inch RSP 32 for locking the 2"-mm RSP 32 along its front and rear edges. Optionally, the latch assembly 421a can also be configured to lock the 200 mm RSP 32 along its left and right edges, if desired. As shown in Fig. 4B, the three (3) positioning pins 42rp protrude upwardly above the cover deck 42pt, and the cover box door 32cl of the 200 mm RSP 32 is placed thereon. When the cover door 32d is placed on the RSP latching mechanism 42rlm, the 12 201206787 positioning pins 42rp are engaged with the fitting holes D formed in the cover door 32d. Using the mechanical positioning pins 42rp to limit the planar movement of the 200 mm RSP 32 on the cover table 42pt, unless the latch assembly 421a releases the 200 mm RSP 32, the operator cannot remove the 200 PCT RCP 32. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 4B, the two (2) RSP locking pin 421p protrudes upward through the 槽-shaped slot 42as piercing the hood deck 42pt, which accommodates the cover box door 32d of the 200 mm RSP 32. . The cover door 32d of the 200 mm RSP 32 is placed on the cover table 42pt, and the RSP lock pins 421p are engaged with the locking mechanism holes in the cover door 32d. The rSP locking pins 421p extend downwardly through the arcuate slots 42as to the RSP locking/unlocking mechanism 421ulm disposed on the bottom side of the hood deck 42pt as illustrated in FIG. . The RSP locking/unlocking mechanism 421ulm includes a DC motor 42dcm that drives a worm gear assembly 42wga to which one end of the RSP locking pins 421p is attached. Through the worm gear assembly 42wga, the DC motor 42dcm supplies the rotational force of the RSP locking pins 42 lp along the arcuate slots 42as clockwise or counterclockwise. The RSP locking/unlocking mechanism 421ulm also includes a cover presence sensor 42pps indicating that when a 2 inch RSP 32 is placed on the cover table 42pt, and a pair of cover locks/solutions The open sensor 42puls is used to indicate when the RSP locking pin 421p is in a position to unlock the cover 32c from the cover door 32 (1). The Rsp latch mechanism 42rlmi is described herein. Opening and closing the locking mechanism included in any of the 200 mm RSP 32 case door 32d conforming to the SEMI E-19.4 standard. After the RSP locking/unlocking mechanism 421ulm unlocks the 200 mm RSP 32 Thereby, the cover door 32d is allowed to be separated from the cover cover 32c, and the cover table lift 42pte illustrated in FIG. 13 201206787 4D-4G reduces the cover table 42pt carrying the cover door 32d, thereby The cover lid 32c is separated from the cover door 32d and exposes the metal case 20. The cover table lift 42pte conventionally includes a pair of vertically oriented linear bearings 421b. Each linear bearing 421b carries the opposite end of an arm 42ar The linear bearings 421b are freely moved up and down together with the cover table 42pt that is securely attached thereto. The hood elevator 42pte also includes a vertically oriented lead screw 421s coupled to the arm 42ar. As is well known to those skilled in the art, depending on the deflection of the lead screw 421s, the lead screw 421s Rotating in one direction, for example, clockwise, moving the cover table 42pt' upward while rotating in the opposite direction, for example, counterclockwise, moving the cover table 42pt downward. The configuration is close to the 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42. A lift drive motor 42edm at the bottom rotates the lead screw 421s clockwise or counterclockwise. The two stage cover opening mechanism 50 is shown in Fig. 5 as a two-loaded table cover opening mechanism of the present disclosure. 50 pairs of the existing 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42 as described so far are added with a pair of swing arm inner metal box opening mechanisms 52. After being separated from the cover box cover 32c, the cover carrying the metal case 20 The cassette door 32d is lowered along the cover table lift 42pte to the inner metal box open/close position shown in the 4F and 4G drawings in the two-loaded table cover opening mechanism 50. In the figure 5, the inside A metal box opening mechanism 52 is disposed at the inner metal box opening/closing position along opposite sides of the 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42. Each inner metal box opening mechanism 52 includes a base plate 54 attached thereto. To the structure of the 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42. 201206787 As shown in Figures 6A and 6B, each inner metal box opening mechanism 52 includes a pair of arms 56 attached to the pivot point 58 to The base plate 54 is rotatable in relation to the pivot points. Each arm 56 is attached to one end of a single-axis linear motor 64 by a link set 62 which is also secured to the base plate 54. One end of each linear motor 64 passes through a linear bearing guide 66 prior to being coupled to one of the two (2) link sets 62. The linear coupling "power pull is included in each of the inner metal box opening mechanisms 52 to the # arm 56' while pushing the other arm 56. By the linear motor 64, the force is applied to the inner metal box opening mechanism. The pair of arms 56 of 52 causes the two arms 56 to rotate relative to the respective pivot points 58 and oscillate toward the opposite inner metal box opener 52. The scotch cover 42pt is disposed in the inner metal. The box opening/closing position 窨' is configured as shown in Fig. 6 and the inner metal box opening mechanism 52 is configured to be attached to the 200 mm RSP cover opening mechanism 42 to extend the arms 56. The position of the end portion for accommodating the handle on the cover 22 of the metal case 2, after the arms 56 are extended, the cover table 42gte carrying the cover door 32d continues to descend along the linear bearing 42lb.
