  • Patent number: 8092760
    Abstract: Provided is a scanning arm which moves to collect pollutants on the surface of a semiconductor wafer, for use in a semiconductor wafer pollutant measurement apparatus, and a scanning device using the same. The scanning arm includes: an X-axis portion; a Z-axis portion which is perpendicularly installed with the X-axis portion so as to move forward and backward along the X-axis portion; and a Y-axis portion which is perpendicularly installed with the Z-axis portion so as to move up and down with respect to the Z-axis portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7975996
    Abstract: Provided is a scan stage for a semiconductor wafer pollutant measurement apparatus, which includes: a stage main body which comprises: a circular fixed housing; an adsorption plate which is rotatably installed in the inside of the fixed housing, at the center of which an adsorption path is formed, at the bottom of which a vacuum port is connected, and which is rotated by an external rotating force; and a step motor which is placed at the bottom of the fixed housing and connected with the adsorption plate; a base plate that is supported by pillars to form a lower space between the fixed housing of the stage main body and the base plate; a cylinder at the bottom of which a cylinder load is connected so that the base plate moves up and down; and support jigs that hold up a wafer in the outer side of the stage main body, in which three support jigs are disposed in proximity with the outer circumference of the stage main body.

  • Publication number: 20090249863
    Abstract: Provided is a vapor phase decomposition (VPD) device for a semiconductor wafer pollutant measurement apparatus and a door opening and closing device thereof. The VPD device includes: a rectangular vessel-shaped main body of the VPD device and a door which covers in a sealed form or opens the wafer inlet of the VPD device. Here, a predetermined space is formed in the inner portion of the rectangular vessel-shaped main body, support plates are formed on the bottom of the rectangular vessel-shaped main body and gas discharge and suction nozzles are located therein. In addition, a transparent see-through window is formed on the upper surface of the rectangular vessel-shaped main body, a detection electrode for controlling an inner atmosphere is formed at the center of the transparent see-through window, and one side surface of the rectangular vessel-shaped main body is opened to thus form a wafer inlet for introducing a wafer.
