Cleaning anti-reflective coating process chamber parts
12000039 · 2024-06-04 ·

A cleaning booth has a handheld blaster, which emits a pulsed electromagnetic wave that is produced by a wave source. A fiber-optic cable feeds the wave from the source to the blaster. An operator can aim the blaster toward a part that rests on a movable table in the booth. When the operator actuates the wave source, a radiation beam from the blaster ablates anti-reflective coating residue from the part. The cleaning operation can be performed in a same room as the anti-reflective coating process equipment.
