Liquid solvent spray brush station for surface cleaning in nano-microtronics processing

An electronic device, element and surface cleaning station apparatus having regulated, adjustable gas pressure cleaning components and regulated, adjustable chemical spray cleaning components;

• the cleaning station apparatus comprising:
• a glove box, having a first and a second rubber glove access ports;
• wherein a first rubber glove and a second rubber glove reside in and are attached to the first and the second rubber glove access ports, wherein the glove box is composed of solvent and chemical resistant plastic, and wherein the first rubber glove and the second rubber glove have solvent and chemical resistance properties, wherein a user having hands in the first and second rubber gloves has protection from chemical and solvent exposure, during the user manipulation and cleaning of electronic devices, elements and surfaces in the cleaning station apparatus, wherein electronic devices and elements having surfaces include nanotronics and microtronics components;
• a hinged top access port, having two hinges pivotally connected between a top surface of the cleaning station apparatus, and a replaceable clear plastic viewing window having a handle on the top surface of the replaceable clear plastic viewing window;
• wherein the replaceable clear plastic viewing window further includes a clear plastic solvent shield replaceably adhered to the bottom of the replaceable clear plastic viewing window;
• a waste drain, residing at the bottom of the glove box, between the first and second rubber glove access ports, wherein the glove box and the waste drain are on a side of the cleaning station apparatus;
• a fume hood vent having a vent connection to a fume hood;
• a plastic work table removably positioned in the cleaning station apparatus;
• a sample vacuum chuck assembly, residing on the plastic work table, wherein the sample vacuum chuck assembly includes a connection to a vacuum line;
• a solenoid assembly, having an adjustably opened and closed solenoid valve, wherein the solenoid assembly is activatively attached to a foot pedal energizer, wherein the solenoid assembly has an activatively coupled input gas port connected to an input gas line connection having a gas supply, wherein the gas supply is selected from a group of gas supplies, consisting of at least Nitrogen gas, Oxygen gas and compressed air gas;
• wherein the solenoid assembly further includes an output gas port connected to an intermediate stage output gas line;
• an adjustable gas pressure regulator is connected between the intermediated stage output gas line and a final stage output gas line;
• a refillable solvent reservoir, containing solvent, residing in the glove box, having a solvent output port connection to a solvent supply line;
• and
• a spray gun having an actuating trigger, a rotateably adjustable nozzle, a first input port, and a second input port, and an output port;
• wherein the solvent supply line includes a connection to the first input port of the spray gun, wherein the final stage output gas line includes a connection to the second input port of the spray gun, wherein the adjustably opened and closed solenoid valve having a regulated range of gas fluid flow from a fully open position of the solenoid valve to a fully closed position of the solenoid valve, upon actuation, by a human operator, of the foot pedal energizer, depending on a force applied to the foot pedal energizer by the operator and depending on a setting of the adjustable gas pressure regulator;
• and the spray gun further having an adjustable spray of solvent mixed with pressurized gas upon depressing, by the human operator, the actuating trigger in coordination with actuation of the foot pedal energizer connected to the solenoid valve, in association with a predetermined setting of the adjustable gas pressure regulator.
