  • Patent number: 6612315
    Abstract: A bowl includes a bottom wall having a generally circular shape. A sidewall extends upwardly from the bottom wall to define a cylindrical chamber. The sidewall has a projection that extends into the cylindrical chamber. The projection has a top surface that defines a step in the cylindrical chamber and a sloped surface that extends between the top surface and an inner surface of the sidewall. The top surface of the projection is sloped slightly downwardly. The sloped surface of the projection is oriented relative to the top surface such that extensions of the top surface and the sloped surface define an angle in a range from about 30 degrees to about 45 degrees. A spin, rinse, and dry module including the bowl and a method for loading a semiconductor wafer into a spin, rinse, and dry module also are described.
