A plurality of holes are formed in the surface of the shielding plate, and the holes are uniformly distributed and arrayed along the circumference at intervals of 15 degrees. The shielding plates are respectively arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the bi-pass suspension platform, so that the pressure on the surface of the wafer is uniformly distributed. In order to realize the adjustable air flow stability, the shielding plate is designed with through holes and grid holes, when the through holes are concentric with the air outlet holes of the suspension table, the air flow speed and the pressure on the wafer are not influenced, when the shielding plate rotates by 15 degrees, the grid holes are just concentric with the air outlet holes of the suspension table, the air flow is slowed down at the moment, and the pressure on the surface of the wafer is reduced.
The arrangement of the holes on the suspension platform is in clearance, and the arrangement mode of the holes is mainly considered. According to the flowing process of fluid in the internal pipeline of the suspension table, a continuity equation and a momentum conservation equation are respectively satisfied.
And a porous medium filling material is added into the pores, so that the flow of gas inside the pores is regular. As shown in table 1:
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0002893142280000091
Note: the air outlet holes of the suspension table are distributed on the table top in a corona shape, and the air outlet holes are distributed in a linear shape along the radial direction of the suspension table, so that the air outlet holes form a plurality of concentric circles with different diameters, and the outer circle and the inner circle in the table 1 represent two adjacent circles of concentric circles.
The flow through the orifice can be formulated by integration:
Figure BDA0002893142280000101
now, the magnitude of the airflow of the innermost turn and the second turn are compared:
Figure BDA0002893142280000102
so that Q can be clearly found 1 =Q 2 So it can be deduced from this that the gas flow within each turn is equal.
Considering now that under ideal conditions, the pressure across the orifice can be expressed by the following equation, disregarding the drag losses:
Figure BDA0002893142280000103
in the formula: ρ — gas density;
q-flow rate of the orifice;
s-cross-sectional area of the hole;
as can be seen from the above formula, the smaller the cross-sectional area S of the hole, i.e., the smaller the diameter of the hole, the smaller the pressure applied to the wafer surface. Therefore, the application of the shielding plate is provided with the grid holes, so that when the thinner wafer is dried, the shielding plate can be used for shielding, and the gas pressure borne by the surface of the wafer can be effectively reduced.
The invention relates to a method and a device for realizing a porous medium type stable and adjustable gas suspension flow field for drying a plurality of wafers, which have the following working procedures:

At the moment, the bearing mechanism slowly sends the suspension bin into the drying box, and faster drying in one container is realized. When the drying is finished, the bearing mechanism can remove the drying box from the suspension bin again, so that the wafer can be taken out conveniently.
