Abstract:
1. A system for removing foreign particles from a semiconductor device, comprising; a vibration device configured to vibrate the semiconductor device to separate the foreign particles from the surface of the semiconductor device; a suction device configured to cover the semiconductor device to hold the semiconductor device and to define a space between the suction device and the semiconductor device, and configured to suction foreign particles separated from the semiconductor device by the vibration device while a part of the semiconductor device is held next to the suction device; and an exhaust pump configured to create a vacuum in the space between the suction device and the semiconductor device, wherein the suction device further includes a communication passage connected to a fresh air source and a vacuum passage connected to the exhaust pump so that the communication passage and the vacuum passage generate a current of air from the communication passage through the space to the vacuum passage to remove the foreign particles separated from the semiconductor device.
