Moreover, although the terms such as “above”, “between”, and “within” may be used in this specification to describe different exemplary features and elements of the present disclosure, these terms are used herein only for convenience of description, for example, according to the directions of the examples in the accompanying drawings. Nothing in this specification should be understood as requiring a specific three-dimensional direction of the structure to fall within the scope of the present disclosure.


An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a mask pod. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the mask pod includes: a body 10, where the body 10 has an accommodation space 11 configured to accommodate a mask 1, the accommodation space 11 has a first opening 111, and the first opening 111 is located on a circumferential side of the body 10; and a shielding member 20, where the shielding member 20 is provided on the body 10 and is movably provided relative to the body 10, to shield or release the first opening 111.


A mask pod in an embodiment of the present disclosure includes the body 10 and the shielding member 20, the mask 1 is stored in the accommodation space 11 of the body 10, and the mask 1 can be taken out from the accommodation space 11 through the first opening 111. Because the first opening 111 is located on the circumferential side of the body 10, when the shielding member 20 configured to shield or release the first opening 111 releases the first opening 111, the mask pod is separated front to back. This effectively avoids a phenomenon of airflow disturbance, reduces a phenomenon of dust contamination of the mask 1, and effectively improves a yield rate of a semiconductor structure.


It should be noted that, in the related art, the first opening is located on an upper surface or a lower surface of the body. When the mask 1 needs to be taken out, the mask pod is separated up and down, which causes dynamic airflow, causes dust to fall on the mask 1, and affects exposure. However, in this embodiment, because the first opening 111 of the mask pod is located on the circumferential side of the body 10, when the mask 1 needs to be taken out, the mask pod is separated front to back. This effectively avoids the phenomenon of airflow disturbance, and reduces the phenomenon of dust contamination of the mask 1.


The shielding member 20 is movably provided relative to the body 10. That is, a position of the shielding member 20 is changed, such that the shielding member 20 shields the first opening 111, and in this case, the mask 1 is sealed inside the body 10; when the shielding member 20 releases the first opening 111, the mask 1 is exposed through the first opening 111, and in this case, the mask 1 may be taken out from the body 10 through the first opening 111.


In some embodiments, the shielding member 20 may move relative to the body 10, but when the shielding member 20 releases the first opening 111, the shielding member 20 may not be removed from the body 10. In this case, a part of the shielding member 20 may be restrictively connected to the body 10. For example, one end of the shielding member 20 may be hinged to the body 10, and the shielding member 20 is rotated, such that the shielding member 20 shields or releases the first opening 111. Alternatively, the shielding member 20 may be pullably provided on the body 10, and after the body 10 is pulled into place, one end of the shielding member 20 may be in restricted contact with the body 10, to avoid the shielding member 20 from being detached from the body 10. In this case, a corporation manner of the shielding member 20 and the body 10 is similar to a drawer structure, where a difference lies in that when the shielding member 20 is pulled out, the first opening 111 of the body 10 needs to be released.


In an embodiment, the shielding member 20 is detachably connected to the body 10, that is, when the mask 1 needs to be taken out from the body 10, the shielding member 20 is detached, to completely release the first opening 111. The shielding member 20 may be detached along a direction far away from the first opening 111, that is, the shielding member 20 is detached along a direction perpendicular to the first opening 111. Alternatively, the shielding member 20 may be detached along a direction parallel to the first opening 111. This is not limited herein, provided that the shielding member 20 can be ensured to be detached.


Optionally, the shielding member 20 is connected to the body 10 by using a fastener member, that is, when the shielding member 20 needs to be detached from the body 10, the fastener member releases a connection relationship between the shielding member 20 and the body 10, to detach the shielding member 20 from the body 10.


Optionally, the shielding member 20 is clamped with the body 10. When the shielding member 20 needs to be detached from the body 10, a clamping relationship between the shielding member 20 and the body 10 may be released first, and then the shielding member 20 is detached from the body 10. Alternatively, an external force is applied to the shielding member 20, such that in a process of detaching the shielding member 20 from the body 10, the clamping relationship between the shielding member 20 and the body 10 is also released. For example, the shielding member 20 is provided with a deformable buckle, and the body 10 is provided with a slot, the buckle enters the slot through deformation, and when the detaching is performed, the buckle is detached from the slot through deformation.


In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, the shielding member 20 includes: a cover body portion 21, where the cover body portion 21 shields or releases the first opening 111; and a clamping portion 22, where the clamping portion 22 is connected to the cover body portion 21 and is movably provided relative to the cover body portion 21, such that the clamping portion 22 has a first position clamped with the body 10 and a second position separated from the body 10, where when the clamping portion 22 is located at the second position, the shielding member 20 can be removed from the body 10. The cover body portion 21 may not have a fixed connection relationship with the body 10, but relies on the clamping portion 22 to implement clamping with the body 10. Therefore, a position of the clamping portion 22 may be adjusted, such that the shielding member 20 is connected to or is detached from the body 10.


Optionally, the clamping portion 22 may be a plug, and the body 10 is provided with a socket. The plug is slid to be inserted into the socket, or the plug is pulled out from the socket, such that the shielding member 20 is connected to the body 10, or the shielding member 20 is separated from the body 10.


Optionally, the clamping portion 22 is rotatably provided relative to the cover body portion 21, that is, the clamping portion 22 is rotated, such that the clamping portion 22 switches between the first position and the second position, thereby facilitating connection and separation between the shielding member 20 and the body 10.


Further, the body 10 is provided with a clamping slot, and when the clamping portion 22 is located at the first position, the clamping portion 22 is inserted into the clamping slot, or when the clamping portion 22 is located at the second position, the clamping portion 22 is detached from the clamping slot. The clamping portion 22 is rotated, such that the clamping portion 22 enters or is detached from the clamping slot, to facilitate connection and separation between the shielding member 20 and the body 10, which is not only easy to operate, but also has better stability of the connection.


In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the clamping portion 22 is provided with a rotating slot 221, and/or the clamping portion 22 is provided with a rotating buckle 222. The rotating slot 221 and the rotating buckle 222 are configured to connect to an external component, such that the external component drives the clamping portion 22 to rotate relative to the cover body portion 21. The external component may be a robot 51, and the robot 51 herein includes a machine arm and a control portion.


Optionally, there may be both a plurality of rotating slots 221 and rotating buckles 222. The rotating buckle 222 may have a protrusion structure. A specific form of the protrusion structure is not limited herein and may be selected according to an actual requirement. Correspondingly, a specific form of the rotating slot 221 is also not limited herein and may be selected according to an actual requirement.


In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the accommodation space 11 has a second opening 112, the second opening 112 is located on a circumferential side of the body 10, the shielding member 20 is inserted into the accommodation space 11 through the second opening 112, or the shielding member 20 is taken out from the accommodation space 11 through the second opening 112. The mounting and detaching of the shielding member 20 relative to the body 10 is performed moving along a direction parallel to the second opening 112, that is, the shielding member 20 pullably moves relative to the body 10, such that a phenomenon of airflow disturbance between the shielding member 20 and the body 10 can be avoided to the maximum extent, thereby ensuring that no dust is raised to ensure the cleanliness of the mask 1 when the mask 1 is taken out.


It should be noted that, the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 are both located on a circumferential side of the body 10, but the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 are in different directions, that is, the mask 1 may move along a first direction relative to the body 10, to be taken out from the accommodation space 11, but the shielding member 20 may move along a second direction relative to the body 10, to be taken out from the accommodation space 11. The first direction is perpendicular to the first opening 111, the second direction is perpendicular to the second opening 112, and the first direction may be perpendicular to the second direction, or an included angle between the first direction and the second direction may not be equal to 90 degrees. This is not limited herein.


Further, areas of cross sections of the accommodation space 11 may all be consistent, that is, an area of a cross section of a first chamber that is of the accommodation space 11 and that is used to accommodate the shielding member 20 may be equal to an area of a cross section of a second chamber that is of the accommodation space 11 and that is used to accommodate the mask 1. Alternatively, an area of a cross section of a first chamber that is of the accommodation space 11 and that is used to accommodate the shielding member 20 may be greater than an area of a cross section of a second chamber that is of the accommodation space 11 and that is used to accommodate the mask 1, to facilitate entering of the mask 1 from the second chamber into the first chamber. An internal structure of the accommodation space 11 is not limited, provided that accommodation of the mask 1 and the shielding member 20 can be ensured. In addition, the first chamber that is of the accommodation space 11 and that is used to accommodate the shielding member 20 is provided with a clamping slot clamped with the clamping portion 22.


In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the body 10 is a rectangle. The body 10 includes two opposite first surfaces 13, two opposite second surfaces 14, and two opposite third surfaces 15. The second surface 14 and the third surface 15 are provided around the first surface 13. The first opening 111 and the second opening 112 are respectively located on the second surface 14 and the third surface 15 that are adjacent to each other. In this case, the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 are in a mutually perpendicular relationship, that is, a move direction of the mask 1 detached from the body 10 and a move direction of the shielding member 20 detached from the body 10 are perpendicular to each other.


Optionally, a height of the first opening 111 is less than a height of the second opening 112, where when the clamping portion 22 is located at the first position, along a height direction of the second opening 112, a size of the clamping portion 22 is greater than the height of the second opening 112, or when the clamping portion 22 is located at the second position, along a height direction of the second opening 112, a size of the clamping portion 22 is less than the height of the second opening 112.


With reference to the FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, when the clamping portion 22 is located at the first position, the clamping portion 22 needs to be clamped with the clamping slot of the body 10. In this case, the shielding member 20 is connected to the body 10. Therefore, the size of the shielding member 20 along the height direction of the second opening 112 needs to be greater than the height of the second opening 112, to ensure that the shielding member 20 is not detached from the second opening 112. In this case, the size of the clamping portion 22 along the height direction of the second opening 112 is also greater than the size of the cover body portion 21 along the height direction of the second opening 112.


As shown in FIG. 6, when the clamping portion 22 is located at the second position, the clamping portion 22 needs to be detached from the clamping slot of the body 10. In this case, the shielding member 20 is separated from the body 10. Therefore, the size of the shielding member 20 along the height direction of the second opening 112 needs to be less than the height of the second opening 112, to ensure that the shielding member 20 can be detached from the second opening 112. In this case, the size of the clamping portion 22 along the height direction of the second opening 112 is not greater than the size of the cover body portion 21 along the height direction of the second opening 112. A rotation angle of the clamping portion 22 from the first position to the second position is not limited herein, may be 90 degrees, and may be greater than or less than 90 degrees.


It should be noted that, because at least a part of the shielding member 20 is mounted inside the accommodation space 11 to implement sealing of the mask 1, shielding of the shielding member 20 for the first opening 111 is actually internal shielding, that is, the shielding member 20 is located on a side of the first opening 111 close to the mask 1.
