Abstract:
A processing chamber includes a base, a cover, and grippers. The base includes a body, a mating surface, an inner zone cavity extending into the body, a divider substantially surrounding the inner zone cavity, and an outer zone cavity extending into the body and substantially surrounding the divider. The cover includes a mating surface that contacts the body mating surface when the processing chamber is closed. The grippers hold the wafer in the inner zone cavity when the processing chamber is closed.
Abstract:
An apparatus and methods for cleaning flip chip (100) assemblies are provided. The apparatus comprises: a chuck assembly (701); a motor coupled to the chuck assembly (701) by a spindle (704); at least one carrier (705) for holding flip chips (100); and at least one spray nozzle (706, 707) for directing de-ionized water, a cleaning solution, a gas or a vapor. The apparatus and methods provide a thorough and uniform cleaning of flux residues and other contaminants.

Abstract:
A method for cleaning semiconductor substrate using ultra/mega sonic device comprising holding a semi conductor substrate by using a chuck, positioning a ultra/mega sonic device adjacent to the semiconductor substrate, injecting chemical liquid on the semiconductor substrate and gap between the semiconductor substrate and the ultra/mega sonic device, changing gap between the semiconductor substrate and the ultra/mega sonic device for each rotation of the chuck during the clea ning process. The gap can be increased or reduced by 0.5λ /N for each rotation of the chuck, where λ is wavelength of ultra/mega sonic wave, N is an integer number between 2 and 1000. The gap is varied in the range of 0.5 λn during the cleaning process, where λ is wavelength of ultra/mega sonic wave, and n is an integer number starting from 1.
Abstract:
A head for dispensing a thin film over a substrate is disclosed The head includes a body assembly that extends between a first and a second end that is at least a width of the substrate The body includes a main bore that is defined between the first and the second ends, the main bore connected to an upper side of a reservoir through a plurality of feeds that are defined between the main bore and the reservoir The body also includes a plurality of outlets connected to a lower side of the reservoir and extend to an output slot The plurality of feeds have a larger cross-sectional area than the plurality of outlets and the plurality of feeds are fewer than the plurality of outlets.
Abstract:
A device and method for holding a substrate, e.g., a semiconductor wafer, during a process, e.g., a liquid meniscus process, the substrate having a first side and a second side. The device includes one or more holding components, e.g., fingers, configured to contact a second side of the substrate without significantly contacting the first side of the substrate. At least one of the holding components may be configured to be moved during the process so as to prevent the at least one holding components from effecting the process, e.g., contacting the liquid meniscus. Such an arrangement may be employed when the substrate includes a top side having at least one structure or feature thereon, it being desirable that the holding components avoid contact with the structures or features during the process.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for fluid processing a workpiece are described. The system can include a process module and a system of one or more fluid processing elements to control the fluid flow and/or the electric field distribution during the fluid processing of the workpiece. A member can be used to agitate the fluid during deposition of a film (e.g., using an oscillatory motion). A plate can be used to shape an electric field incident on a surface of a workpiece. By controlling the fluid flow and the electric field distribution, improved deposition of the film on the workpiece surface can result. Furthermore, a vertical configuration and/or a modular architecture can be employed to improve throughput, increase productivity, and reduce cost.
