  • Patent number: 8524008
    Abstract: In the case of a device and a method for cleaning substrates on a carrier, to the underside of which the substrates are fastened so as to be parallel to and slightly apart from one another, the carrier has in its interior a plurality of longitudinal channels, which run parallel to one another. As a result of the sawing of the wafers, they merge, via openings, into interstices between the substrates. As a result of a relative movement, an elongate tube, from which cleaning fluid is let out, is introduced into one of the longitudinal channels, the relative movement being achieved substantially through moving of the carrier.

  • Patent number: 8387636
    Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning substrates on a carrier, which has in the interior thereof a plurality of longitudinal passages, which run parallel to one another and are connected to the outside at the underside of the carrier via openings. There is provided a plurality of elongated pipes, which are arranged on a pipe holder and are connected in a fluid-conducting manner to a fluid supply. A centering template is provided, which encompasses the pipes and is displaceable in the longitudinal direction thereof between an attachment position in the end region of the pipes away from the pipe holder and a working position, which lies between the attachment position and the pipe holder. The centering template bears against the carrier, such that the pipes are then aligned exactly with the longitudinal passages.

  • Publication number: 20120064300
    Abstract: A silicon block is firmly connected to a carrier for being moved together for further working by sawing, cleaning or the like. The carrier consists of plastic, for example of glass-fibre-reinforced plastic, and has in its interior a number of continuous longitudinal channels. These longitudinal channels are sawn into, and so cleaning fluid can then be introduced into the intermediate space between the sawn-up wafers in order to flush out sawing remains.
