    摘要: A wafer guide includes a horizontal support panel and at least three vertical panels attached on one surface of the support panel. Each of the vertical panels has a vertical body panel and a plurality of protrusions upwardly extended from a top surface of the vertical body panel. Gap regions between the protrusions act as slots for holding wafers. Sidewalls of the slots have a convex shaped profile when viewed from a top view, and bottom surfaces of the slots also have a convex shaped profile when viewed from a cross sectional view that crosses the vertical panels.

    摘要: A wafer guide used in cleaning and/or drying processes of semiconductor wafers is provided. The wafer guide includes a horizontal support panel and at least three vertical panels attached on one surface of the support panel. Each of the vertical panels has a vertical body panel and a plurality of protrusions upwardly extended from a top surface of the vertical body panel. Gap regions between the protrusions act as slots for holding wafers. Sidewalls of the slots have a convex shaped profile when viewed from a top view, and bottom surfaces of the slots also have a convex shaped profile when viewed from a cross sectional view that crosses the vertical panels. Accordingly, contact areas between the wafers and the wafer guide are reduced to improve a drying efficiency of the wafers.

    摘要: A chemical refining and reuse method and apparatus efficiently remove water from a waste chemical used in a semiconductor device fabrication process. The method is superior to conventional refining methods, in that water is removed at the end of the refining process, followed only by particle removal, so that water is not reintroduced into the waste chemical during metallic impurity removal. Therefore, the refined waste chemical has a percentage of water therein which is equal to that of the chemical in an initial raw state. The method includes: a) removing ionic impurities contained in the waste chemical; b) removing metallic impurities contained in the waste chemical after removing the ionic impurities; c) removing water contained in the waste chemical after removing the metallic impurities; and d) removing particles contained in the waste chemical after removing the water.

    摘要: A cleaning solution for an immersion photolithography system according to example embodiments may include an ether-based solvent, an alcohol-based solvent, and a semi-aqueous-based solvent. In the immersion photolithography system, a plurality of wafers coated with photoresist films may be exposed pursuant to an immersion photolithography process using an immersion fluid. The area contacted by the immersion fluid during the exposure process may accumulate contaminants. Accordingly, the area contacted by the immersion fluid during the exposure process may be washed with the cleaning solution according to example embodiments so as to reduce or prevent defects in the immersion photolithography system.

    摘要: A valve cleaning apparatus and method provide for cleaning of heat resistant, scratch resistant coated valves using deionized water and at least one chemical mixture. The cleaning method includes sampling and analysis of the chemical mixture for the presence of metal impurities to within 0.5 to 1.5 ppb. Valves cleaned using this method and apparatus can then be transferred for use in semiconductor device fabrication equipment without the danger of metal impurities from the valves entering and damaging the fabrication equipment and the semiconductor devices being fabricated. The apparatus uses a single pumping device and a single return line, which are provided with selection devices to alternatively supply to or return from the valves either the deionized water or the chemical mixture. A plurality of same-sized or different-sized valves can be cleaned simultaneously.
