Description of the invention () Field of the invention: The present invention relates to a device for filling gas into a crystal box, and in particular to a method for automatically filling gas such as nitrogen or inert gas into a load port. The device in the crystal box on). BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION: In order to produce high-quality semiconductor components in a cost-effective manner, semiconductor manufacturers tend to produce increasingly larger wafers. Whether it is a 200mm wafer or the latest 30mm wafer, the wafer must be placed in a crystal box during the transportation process of each process machine to ensure that the wafer can be at the most In a clean environment. Wafer loading in wafer box Before entering the process machine, the wafer box must be placed on a loading port conveyor system installed at the front of the machine. This loading port transfer system is a feeding system for temporarily placing wafers that will be transferred to a process machine later. The loading port conveyor system is a form of a standardized mechanical interface (SMIF) system. The following is an introduction to the SMIF system. SMIF systems are disclosed in US Patent Nos. 4,532,970 and 4,534,389 issued by Hewlett-Packard Company. The purpose of the SMIF system is to reduce the storage and storage of semiconductor wafers. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210x297 mm). — — — — — — — — — — II MW (Please read 4 (Please refer to the note on the back, please fill in this page) -itr ♦ Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 527681 Printed by the Consumers ’Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 V. Description of the invention () and particles contaminated during transportation number. This objective can be achieved by at least two functions of the SMIF system. The first is to ensure that the gas medium (such as air or nitrogen) around the wafer during the storage and transportation of the wafer must be stationary relative to the wafer. The second is to ensure that particles in the atmosphere do not enter the environment in which the wafer is located. The SMIF system has three main components. The first is a minimally sealed wafer box ' for storing and transporting wafers and / or cassettes. The second is an input / output minienvironrnent, which is connected to the semiconductor process equipment 'to provide a clean space (by filling it with clean air). The wafers and / or cassettes exposed in this clean space can be kept in and out of the process machine in the cleanest state. The third is an interface that allows wafers and / or wafers E to be transported between the SMIF system and the SMIF microenvironment without being exposed to particles. Generally speaking, the SMIF crystal box includes a loading port door and a housing to provide a sealed environment 'for wafers to be stored and transported in this environment. At present, due to the difference in wafer size and the orientation of the machine interface in the fab, there can be different forms of SMIF crystal boxes. In addition to the existing 200 mm wafers, the 300 mm wafer process has been developed in recent years. Different cassettes and cassette processing equipment can be used in the 200mm wafer or 300mm wafer process. In addition, the SMIF crystal box can be a bottom-open type or a front-open type. In the bottom open type SMIF crystal box, the loading port door is horizontally placed on the bottom of the crystal box, and the paper size of the crystal is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) —— —— • ..... ....

Description of the invention () In the cassette, the cassette is placed on the loading port door. In the front-open type SMIF crystal box, the loading port door is vertically placed on the side of the crystal box, and the wafer is placed on several parallel horizontal plates fixed on the inner wall of the housing. Such a crystal box is generally referred to as a Front Opening Unified Pod (FOUP). The loading / conveying system matched with the bottom-open type crystal box is placed at the front of each process machine for wafer production of 200 mm, for feeding and unloading. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the loading (Unad) or unloading state of the conventional 200mm wafer loading port transport system. In the loading or unloading state of the wafer cassette 40, the microenvironment 30 is raised to the highest point as shown in FIG. This loading port conveying system mainly includes two main bodies, namely a vertical supporting structure and a driving structure. The stationary loading port door 50 is fixed to the supporting structure, and the movable micro-environment 30 is fixed to the driving structure. The top end of the mini-environment 30 is the loading port platform 20. The loading port conveyor system is designed to be directly connected to the process machine (not shown) through an interface board (not shown). The loading port conveyor system can be quickly separated from the process machine by releasing the latch (not shown). A description of the microenvironment 30 is shown below. The upper end of the mini-environment 30 is the loading port platform 20. A fan (not shown) is located below. Ultra-Low Particle Air (ULPA) filter device (not shown) is used to provide a micro-environment 30 including a self-maintaining filtered air system. The structure of the mini-environment 30 is mainly composed of a servo horse-made paper scale that applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) —— ——.........
