Abstract

There is provided a venting mask. The venting mask according to the present invention is located in the load lock of the wafer processing cluster tools, which has two features: the first one is to use the gas loop to exhaust the HBr and SiO2 generated on the wafer surface out of the load lock; and, the second one is to use the heater on the outer surface of the venting mask to heat the internal environment of the venting mask to prevent the condensing of the HBr gas and the attaching of SiO2 on the wafer cassette, the venting mask or the wafer cassette indexer. With the venting mask according to the present invention, the HBr gas and SiO2 generated on the wafer surface can be completely exhausted out of the load lock, so as to reduce the particles falling on the wafer, and prevent the erosion of the load port and the load lock.

Please refer to FIG. 5 for a cross-sectional view of a degassing hood according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The degassing hood 300 in FIG. 5 includes elements such as a main body 310, an exhaust pipe 320, an intake pipe 330, a heater 340, and an O-ring 350. The shape of the main body 310 may be, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped which is hollow and has an opening 3 1 5 on the lower surface, but is not limited thereto. Any shape that can achieve the functions of the invention is within the scope of the invention. For example, the shape of the main body 3 10 may be a cylinder with a hollow surface and an opening 315 on the lower surface. The exhaust pipe 320 and the intake pipe 330 are respectively connected to appropriate positions of the main body 310 and communicate with the internal space of the main body 310. They are used to separate substances generated from the surface of the wafer (not shown), such as arrow 3 60. The air is discharged to the outside of the load lock chamber (not shown) and clean air is introduced into the inner space of the main body 310 as shown by arrow 370. The humidity of the air may be about 50% to about 80%, for example. The heater 340 is installed on the outer surface of the main body 310 to increase the temperature of the inner space of the main body 310 to ensure that the hydrogen bromide gas generated on the surface of the wafer does not condense into a liquid and reduce the load of the silicon dioxide powder on the load lock chamber and The paper size of the load port (not shown) applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) < Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Γ '· -11 nn flu ϋ9 fl · —N J: 1 I nn βϋ el · — nn 1 508 646 Α7 Β7 5. Description of the invention () Adhesion. The 0 ring 35 is located at the edge of the opening 315 of the main body 310, and is used to achieve the airtight function when the wafer holder (not shown) and the degassing cover 300 are joined. The actual operation of the degassing hood of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 6. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs! ^ Refer to the cross-sectional schematic diagram of the conventional load lock chamber shown in Figure 6 and the degassing hood of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The degassing hood of the present invention is placed at a higher position in the load lock chamber H2 than the load lock chamber door 216, and passes through the top surface of the load lock chamber i 丨 2 with the exhaust officer 3 20 and the intake pipe 3 3 0. The wall communicates with the outside world and the entire degassing hood can be fixed in an appropriate way. As mentioned in the previous description, when all wafers in the wafer cassettes are completed, the load lock chamber door 216 must be opened to facilitate the unloading of the wafer cassette 11 from the load lock chamber 112 to In the crystal box (not shown) on the load port (not shown). At this time, the load lock chamber 112 is in communication with the atmosphere, which causes the stone oxybromide on the wafer n 6 to react with the water vapor in the atmosphere to generate hydrogen bromide gas and silicon dioxide powder. Hydrogen bromide gas is liable to corrode the components of the load lock chamber i i 2 and the load port, so that the components of the rotting family become a source of particulate pollution. Silica solids also cause serious particulate problems directly in the form of powder. Therefore, the wafer 1 16 placed on the cassette holder 21 0 and the cassette holder 210 are raised up to the edge of the upper end of the cassette holder 210 and tightly joined to the ring 350 of the degassing cover. In this way, the suction function can be activated, and the hydrogenated desert gas and the powder of the dioxide of dioxide in the main body 310 of the degassing hood are discharged to the load lock chamber 112 through the exhaust pipe 32 as shown by the arrow 3 60. .

Description of the invention () While the air pipe 320 performs the exhaust function, the air is also provided into the deaeration hood through the intake pipe 330 as shown by arrow 370, so that the deaerator hood Maintain proper pressure within. In addition to the suction function in the air hood, the silicon dioxide powder can be removed from the load lock chamber 1 1 2 and the hydrogen bromide gas can be completely discharged to the load lock chamber 1 1 2. According to the actual test, evacuation is performed for about 5 minutes, for example, the original concentration of the argon bromide gas in the degassing hood, for example, about 9 ppm, can be completely pumped out of the load closed chamber Π 2. In this way, the problem of argon bromide gas corrosion on machine components can be eliminated. It is worth mentioning that not all of the silicon oxybromide on the wafer 1 16 will react with the water vapor in the environment to produce hydrogen bromide gas and dioxide powder. In fact, only the surface layer of silicon oxybromide on the wafer 6 will react with water vapor. Once the hydrogen bromide and silicon dioxide produced by the silicon oxybromide that will react with water vapor are completely separated, even if there is still silicon oxybromide on the wafer, it will no longer be in contact with the water in the environment. The gas produces a reaction. In addition, the heater 340 is used to increase the temperature inside the degassing hood. This has two purposes. The first purpose is to ensure that the temperature inside the degassing hood is higher than the Buddha's point of desertification ^, so that the hydrogen bromide gas will not condense into a desertified hydrogen liquid and cause a more severe rot name. The second purpose is to reduce the adhesion of stone dioxide powder to machine components or crystal garden m, thereby reducing possible particles. To sum up, one of the advantages of the present invention is to provide a degassing hood, which can be used in 10 paper sizes to comply with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210x 297 ^ 7 (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) SK.- ------ 丨 Order --------- ^ 5 ^^ 丨 508646 A7 B7_ V.
