摘要:
An apparatus for containing semiconductor wafers and performing heat treatment thereon. Heaters disposed in a high temperature furnace form at least one heating space therein. An insertion and retrieval aperture is disposed at the lower portion of each heating space for allowing passage of wafers therethrough. Each of the heating spaces is adapted to receive one or two wafers and to provide simultaneous and uniform heat treatment on the wafers.
摘要:
The conveyance of wafers in bays (equipment groups) of a clean room is performed by RGVs (Rail Guided Vehicles) that linearly travel at high speed on conveying rails laid on the floor of the clean room. A structure is adopted wherein a conveying area, over which the RGV travels, is separated from a human working area by a compartment (partition), and a human is not allowed to enter the conveying area upon operation of a line.
摘要:
A semiconductor wafer processing apparatus comprises a reaction furnace capable of heating inside thereof, a wafer mount for mounting a semiconductor wafer thereon and a transfer device. The wafermount includes an opening which is greater than the semiconductor wafer and which has a circle shape or a shape substantially similar to an outer periphery of the semiconductor wafer, and includes a wafer supporting portion projecting inwardly of the opening for supporting the semiconductor wafer. The transfer device is capable of holding the wafer mount outside the semiconductor wafer as viewed from a vertical direction, and transferring the wafer mount carrying the semiconductor wafer thereon substantially horizontally into and/or out from the reaction furnace.
