Description
【発明の詳細な説明】 本発明は蒸気乾燥装置に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a steam drying apparatus.
一般の蒸気乾燥装置は、蒸気を発生させる媒体を入れた
容器を加熱させ、媒体を蒸発させて、その蒸気中に乾燥

状態を蒸気等で影響しないようにしている。A typical steam drying device heats a container containing a medium that generates steam, evaporates the medium, holds the object to be dried in the steam, and condenses the medium on the surface of the object. There is. Moisture etc. dissolves in the condensed medium,
Water droplets fall into the container. Repeat this process to remove moisture from the object and dry it. There is a cooling trap at the top of the container to prevent vapor from dispersing outside.
While the medium is dropped into the container again, the outside atmosphere is prevented from being affected by steam or the like.

気媒体4が入っている。媒体4はヒータ1で加熱される
と、蒸気5となって物体(被乾燥物)7を乾燥させる。Here, an example of a conventional steam drying apparatus is shown in FIG. In this device, a container 2 is installed on a heater 1, and a vapor medium 4 is contained in the container 2. When the medium 4 is heated by the heater 1, it turns into steam 5 and dries the object (material to be dried) 7.
6の位置に達した蒸気5は冷却器3で再び液体にもどり
容器2底に向かって落下する。The steam 5 that has reached the position 6 turns back into liquid in the cooler 3 and falls toward the bottom of the container 2.

たり、塵埃が付着したりして悪影響を与えることが考え
られる。However, in such an apparatus structure, there is an object to be dried, such as a wafer, and a vapor medium in a drying container, and the liquid condensed on the surface of the object to be dried returns to a solution. For this reason, there is a possibility that moisture and dust in the solution will float together with the vapor again and adhere to the object to be dried. t7 Therefore, it is conceivable that the drying material may not be completely dried or that dust may adhere thereto, which may have an adverse effect.
本発明は以上のような欠点を解消しようとするものであ
って、その目的とするところは塵埃付着汚染の可能性が
ないクリーンな乾燥ができろ蒸気乾燥装置を提供するこ
とにある。The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and its purpose is to provide a steam drying apparatus that can perform clean drying without the possibility of dust adhesion and contamination.
以下、実施例により本発明を説明する。The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples.
第2図は本発明の一実施例による蒸気乾燥装置の要部を

ヒータ1が増り付けられていて、容器2内の媒体4を加
熱して蒸発させる。FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing essential parts of a steam drying apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The container 2 in this embodiment contains the evaporative medium 4 at its bottom. Further, a heater 1 is additionally attached to the bottom outer wall of the container 2, and the medium 4 in the container 2 is heated and evaporated.
容器の上側部には蒸気供給空間8が設けられ、隣接配置
される乾燥室9の上部と連通している。この乾燥室9は
下部が開口するとともに、下端周縁は内側に突出し側溝
10を有している。この側溝10の上方には冷却器3が
配設されている。このため、蒸気供給空間8から乾燥室

て内壁を伝わって側溝10に入る。この側溝10は容器
2と導孔11を介して連通している。この結果、側溝1
0に入った媒体4は容器底に流れ込む。A steam supply space 8 is provided in the upper part of the container and communicates with the upper part of a drying chamber 9 arranged adjacently. The drying chamber 9 is open at the bottom, and has a side groove 10 that protrudes inward from the lower edge. A cooler 3 is disposed above this side gutter 10. Therefore, the steam that enters the drying chamber 9 from the steam supply space 8 and adheres to the inner wall of the drying chamber 9 solidifies on the wall surface, travels along the inner wall, and enters the side gutter 10. This side gutter 10 communicates with the container 2 via a guide hole 11. As a result, gutter 1
The medium 4 that has entered zero flows into the bottom of the container.
一方、乾燥室9の中央には被乾燥物である半導体ウェハ

jF、た、受皿13は排水管15によって支持されてい
る。そして、受皿13上の廃液はこの排水管15から排
水されろ。On the other hand, in the center of the drying chamber 9, a tray 13 is provided on which a jig 12 containing a semiconductor wafer 7, which is an object to be dried, is placed. This saucer 13 has a jetty 1 projecting upward on its periphery.
4, and is adapted to receive and accommodate water droplets dripping from the semiconductor wafer 7 and the jig 12. ,−
The saucer 13 is supported by a drain pipe 15. Then, the waste liquid on the saucer 13 is drained from this drain pipe 15.
受皿13および排水管15はこのように廃液を排水する
排出機構を形作っている。The saucer 13 and the drain pipe 15 thus form a discharge mechanism for draining the waste liquid.

媒体4(廃液)が再び容器2内に流れ込むことはない。In such an embodiment, the semiconductor wafer 7 and the jig 12
The steam used to dry the semiconductor wafer 7 and the jig 12 solidify on the surfaces of the semiconductor wafer 7 and the jig 12, become water droplets, land on the saucer 13, and are discharged from the drain pipe 15. Therefore, the medium 4 (waste liquid) containing dust will not flow into the container 2 again.
