Patent ID: 7389944

Claim:
An edge removing robotic arm capable of preventing chemical solvents from splashing onto the interior of a substrate, comprising: a flat plate, wherein a first nozzle for spraying a chemical solvent is disposed at the bottom surface of the front portion of said flat plate; a L-shape board, wherein the top surface of the upright portion of said L-shape board is jointed to the bottom surface of the rear portion of said flat plate to form an inward recess for receiving the edge of said substrate in the process of edge removing, and a wall of the upright portion of said L-shape board near said recess has an opening through which air is pumped out, and a second nozzle for spraying a chemical solvent is disposed on the top surface of the front portion of said L-shape board; an upper immovable arm, mounted on the top surface of said flat plate, wherein the rear end of said upper immovable arm is connected with a first conduit for delivering said chemical solvent into said flat plate; a lower immovable arm, mounted on the bottom surface of said L-shape board, wherein the rear end of said lower immovable arm is connected with a second conduit for delivering said chemical solvent into said L-shape board; a pedestal, combined to the rear ends of said flat plate and said L-shape board; a vacuum conduit, penetrating said pedestal and the upright portion of said L-shape board and pumping out said chemical solvents and dissolved photoresist particles remained at said substrate through said opening at said wall of the upright portion of said L-shape board; and a gas sprayer, mounted on the top surface of said upper immovable arm, wherein said gas sprayer has a hooked nozzle extending forward around the front ends of said upper immovable arm and said flat plate into said recess and facing said opening at said wall to spray gas out so as to prevent said chemical solvent sprayed out by said first nozzle from splashing onto the interior of said substrate.
