Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a mini-environment pod device, a micro-device manufacturing apparatus, e.g., an exposure apparatus, and a device manufacturing method using such a mini-environment pod device.
- the exposure apparatus is preferably used in a lithography process for manufacturing micro-devices.
- FIG. 10 shows a structure of a conventional exposure apparatus 101 as a micro-device manufacturing apparatus.
- a handling robot 1 draws a wafer 4 (e.g., a semiconductor substrate, a glass substrate, etc.) from a cassette 2 , which stores a plurality of wafers, and carries the wafer 4 into a mechanical pre-alignment station 39 .
- a pre-alignment station 39 after the wafer 4 is held with a chuck 8 , an alignment optical system 9 - 11 detects a wafer edge position while the wafer 4 is rotated by a ⁇ -stage 7 .
- Detection signals are produced and processed to calculate an orientation flat 4 a direction and an off-center deviation of the wafer 4 held by the chuck 8 , in order to align the wafer 4 using an X-stage 5 , a Y-stage 6 and the ⁇ -stage 7 .
- the above-mentioned operation is a so-called “orientation flat detection” operation.
- the wafer 4 is transferred to a wafer chuck 12 of an exposure station 13 and an exposure operation is performed in a step-and-repeat manner using an XY-stage 14 . Thereafter, the handling robot 1 withdraws the exposed wafer to return it to another cassette 3 .
- the foregoing elements are housed in a clean room environment 100 .
- the cassettes 2 and 3 are so-called “open cassettes” (O.C.), which are only handled while being stored in an airtight enclosure (i.e., while being isolated from outside atmosphere), such as in the clean room environment 100 .
- O.C. open cassettes
- a “mini-environment pod”, which provides a partially isolated space around the cassette, has been developed recently.
- the cassette is stored in an airtight pod while being handled in the clean room.
- the airtight pod has an opening that is covered with a lid, which provides a particle-free inside space.
- the lid opens into the exposure apparatus, so that the inside space of the pod is connected to the inside atmosphere of the exposure apparatus. Therefore, even though the clean room may not be maintained at a sufficiently high level of cleanliness, wafers in the pod are isolated from the clean room. Therefore, the wafers will not be contaminated by particles suspended or otherwise residing in the clean room.
- mini-environment pods There are two types of mini-environment pods, which are categorized by the lid positions and lid opening directions.
- One is a “bottom opening type”, in which the lid (opening) is positioned in the bottom of the pod, and both the lid and the cassette are drawn out from the pod along a top-bottom (vertical) direction.
- a so-called “SMIF Pod”, i.e., a standard mechanical interface pod, is in practical use an example of a bottom opening type.
- the other type of pod is a “front opening type”, in which the lid is positioned in the front face of the pod and the lid opens in a lateral direction.
- a so-called “FOUP”, i.e., a front opening unified pod, is in practical use an example of a front opening type.
- a handling robot in the exposure apparatus picks up the wafers from the cassette in the pod and transfers them to an exposure station where the wafers are exposed within the exposure apparatus.
- EMI electromagnetic interference
- these apparatuses are covered with shielded metal chambers so that the electromagnetic wafers are shielded from leakage.
- some outer parts e.g., an acrylic window for viewing are made of a non-shielded material, a fine wire mesh (grounded to the chamber) is provided upon these parts so that electromagnetic waves are shielded by the wire mesh.
- the mini-environment pod is attached to the chamber of an exposure apparatus, although the lid opens into the chamber, the attached pod is regarded as being a part of the chamber, which is exposed to the outside.
- the electromagnetic waves may leak out through the pod, because the pods are generally made of a non-shielded material, e.g., a resin.
- the present invention is provided to overcome the challenges discussed above, and a general object of the invention is to provide an improved mini-environment pod device, and a micro-device manufacturing apparatus and a method utilizing the improved pod device.
