It can be stabilized while moving. It is worth noting that 'the conventional wafer cleaning and drying equipment has its row and exhaust devices on both sides, Ludang wafers are cleaned. 'Water flow is drained by both sides, taking away the dirt on the wafer, but due to the central water flow The weakest, the dirt in the middle of the wafer is less likely to be taken away, thus reducing the cleaning effect. # Drying gas is completed when the cleaning is completed. The body is discharged from the top and discharged from both sides. The middle airflow is also weak, and the drying effect on the middle portion of the wafer is also less than ideal. " In addition, when the wafer is cleaned and lifted to the upper cover for drying, in order to make all parts of the wafer contact with the dry body, the wafer is separated from the carrier, and only supported by a top stick, except for the top stick.
