Abstract
A semiconductor processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a main body cover that covers a main body device and a control device. The main body cover has a transfer opening for transferring a semiconductor, and the main body cover further has an intake port that generates an air flow in a horizontal direction inside the main body cover.
Claims15
A semiconductor processing apparatus comprising:
- a main body device that inspects or processes a semiconductor;
- a control device that controls the main body device;
- and
- a transfer device that transfers the semiconductor to and from the main body device,
- the semiconductor processing apparatus further comprising a main body cover that covers the main body device and the control device, wherein
- the main body cover has a transfer opening for transferring the semiconductor to and from the transfer device,
- the transfer device has a fan filter unit configured to generate a downward air flow inside the transfer device, apply the downward air flow to the semiconductor, and send the downward airflow to the main body cover through the transfer opening,
- the main body cover further has an upper intake port that generates an air flow in a horizontal direction in an upper region inside the main body cover, and
- the main body cover further has an exhaust port that exhausts an air flow in the horizontal direction in the upper region.
