However, in the conventional apparatus, the cleaning chemicals arbitrarily selected are stored in a large-sized processing tank, and each time cleaning is performed, the objects to be cleaned having various sizes and shapes are dipped and washed manually. Although the method is adopted, it is not easy to take in and out, and there is no mechanism for complete exhaust in a large processing tank.For example, when the acid cleaning tank and the ammonia cleaning tank are adjacent to each other, the atmosphere gas of both May react and cause the product to be deposited on the wall or floor in the jig cleaning draft and contaminate the device or the object to be cleaned. Since the cleaning chemical is stored in the processing tank, the cleaning chemical becomes dirty depending on the amount of the object to be cleaned, and the processing tank also accumulates dirt. In addition, since the chemical tank and the water washing tank are independent, the inside of the cleaning draft is contaminated by liquid dripping from the object to be cleaned when transferring between tanks, and even if it is wet from the water washing tank because there is no drying mechanism. There is an inconvenience that the front part of the cleaning draft is soiled for taking it out.

[Function] Since the object to be processed (object to be cleaned) is processed (cleaned) in the same processing tank, there is no need for transfer and there is no stain inside or outside the device due to liquid dripping from the object to be processed (object to be cleaned). The exhaust duct for each chemical can be switched for each system to eliminate the reaction of atmospheric gas, and the circulation and filtration can be performed during the chemical cleaning to keep the chemical clean. Since the chemicals are collected and stored in the storage tank after cleaning, the amount of chemicals used is reduced, and the door at the top of the processing tank is closed during cleaning. Diffusion is suppressed. Washing with water
To improve efficiency, perform shower water washing from the top of the tank, then supply pure water into the tank, wash the water for the set time, open the drain valve and perform rapid drainage. By comparison, a small amount of pure water and short-time water washing can be performed. Drying is efficient because hot air is supplied into the tank through the air supply duct by a warm air unit that is a combination of a filter and a fan heater to perform convective drying.

Finally, the clean warm air generating unit 17
By driving the (fan heater 13, ULPA filter 15) and opening / closing the gate valve 43, clean warm air is blown and supplied to the processing tank 21 through the dry air supply duct 41 for a set period of time to clean an object to be cleaned (not shown). Perform convection drying. From the above description, it can be understood that the present system has the following advantages. That is, (a) a liquid material such as a chemical is
From the tank 3 of the storage unit 1 to the tank 3 again via the processing tank 21.
Therefore, it is economical because it is not necessary to dispose of the so-called liquid material, and (b) the upper opening (and the drain pan 37) of the processing tank 21 is closed by the door 25 during cleaning, which is preferable. It is possible to reduce the amount of exhausted gas, and (c) the shower rinsing and the dip rinsing with rapid drainage are repeated as many times as necessary, so that efficient and effective rinsing can be performed and the amount of pure water used is substantially reduced. Since it can be reduced, (d) convection drying with clean warm air can be performed, the cleaned object can be taken out in a dry state, and (e) a series of steps from the chemical liquid line to the drying can be performed in the same manner. Since it can be performed in the processing tank 21 with a simple structure for energy saving, it is extremely rational, a transfer machine from tank to tank can be dispensed with, and (f) the worker wears protective equipment as in the conventional case. Safe because it eliminates the need for washing work It is possible to perform the cleaning work. Therefore, the present system can be a processing apparatus suitable for, for example, a large jig of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus that requires clean cleaning or a wafer that requires clean processing with a chemical solution.
