EXHAUST SYSTEM AND EXHAUST METHOD USING BUFFER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240109017 titled 'EXHAUST SYSTEM AND EXHAUST METHOD USING BUFFER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an exhaust system for semiconductor processing, including a process chamber, a buffer for waste gas and powder dispersion, a reactor for burning waste gas, a wet tank for storing cleaning water, and a wet tower for decomposing powder using the cleaning water.

  • The exhaust system includes a process chamber where semiconductor processing is performed.
  • A buffer is connected to the process chamber to receive waste gas and disperse powder generated during processing.
  • A reactor is configured to burn the waste gas.
  • A wet tank is connected below the reactor to store cleaning water.
  • A wet tower decomposes powder in the waste gas using the cleaning water.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in semiconductor manufacturing facilities to efficiently manage waste gas and powder generated during processing.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient disposal of waste gas and powder generated during semiconductor processing. 2. Reduction of environmental impact by burning waste gas and decomposing powder.

Benefits

1. Improved air quality in semiconductor manufacturing facilities. 2. Cost-effective waste management solution. 3. Compliance with environmental regulations.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Efficient Waste Gas and Powder Management System for Semiconductor Processing"

Possible Prior Art
