摘要:
Wafer support shelves (10, 10) are each provided with wafer support projections (A, B1, B2) on which parts of the outer margins of a semiconductor wafer (W) are to be placed. In each case, one of the support projections (A, B1, B2) is provided on the far side of the center position of the semiconductor wafer (W), and two of the support projections are provided on the near side of the center of the semiconductor wafer. By means of this structure, in a state in which a lid body (3) is not attached to a wafer extraction/insertion opening (2), the flexure amount of the semiconductor wafers placed on the support projections of multiple locations in the wafer support shelves can be reduced with a minimal number of projections, so that a hindrance is not created to an operation such as extraction by a robot arm.

A substrate storing container includes: a container body for storing semiconductor wafers; a door that is fitted to the front of the container body; and a locking mechanism locking the door. The locking mechanism includes: a rotary driver that is supported by the door and operated from a cover plate side; and a locking bar that vertically slides as the rotary driver rotates to bring the distal end into, and out of, a locking hollow of the container body. The rotary driver is separated into first and second rotary drivers. The first and second rotary drivers are formed with first and second cam portions, respectively. The first and second cam portions are made to support the proximal end of the locking bar therebetween so that the locking bar can sway in the thickness direction of the door.

A separate supporting body for supporting semiconductor wafers of φ450 mm is attached to the inner surface of either side wall of a container body. Each supporting body is formed of a front supporting piece that is projected laterally from a frame and horizontally retains the wafer on, at least, the side part in the front peripheral edge; and a rear supporting piece that is projected laterally from frame and horizontally retains the wafer on, at least, the side part in the rear peripheral edge. Front supporting piece is formed of a projected part that extends from the front of frame toward the front peripheral edge of the semiconductor wafer and a curved part that extends rearwards from projected part along the peripheral edge of the semiconductor wafer.
摘要:
The present invention relates to vacuum processing equipment for processing a wafer in a vacuum, and film coating or forming equipment and method for forming a film on a wafer wherein radiation measurement and temperature control of the wafer is carried out by using an infrared radiation thermometer. Based upon the radiation measurement, heating and/or cooling of the wafer during processing is carried out.
