Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wafer transfer cassette capable of monitoring a process environment, and more particularly to a wafer capable of performing environmental sampling immediately during a process reaction of a wafer. Transfer box. [Prior Art] The fabrication of a general integrated circuit component is accomplished by a plurality of process modules, and the wafer is transferred between the process modules by a wafer transfer system. Currently, semiconductor manufacturers place wafers in wafer transfer boxes, and then remove the wafers from the wafer transfer cassette and transfer them to the process chamber for reaction. In this way, as long as the cleanliness of the small space in the wafer transfer box is controlled, the cleanliness requirements of the external clean room can be reduced, thereby reducing the cleaning cost of the wafer process equipment. However, although the inside of the wafer transfer cassette is relatively clean, in the process of loading the process equipment, the lid of the wafer transfer box is opened or closed, and it is easy to bring the surrounding dust or human dust into the process equipment to pollute the internal crystal. circle. The conventional technique uses a sampler (sampHng accessory) to extract air from a suspicious environment (such as a reaction chamber of a process machine, a wafer transfer cassette, or a transfer interface between a reaction machine and a wafer transfer cassette). The adsorbent in the sample was taken for chemical analysis to confirm the air of the suspect environment and to infer the source of the contamination. In particular, conventional techniques in which the air in the sealed wafer transfer cassette is to be sucked by the sampler must be opened in the wafer transfer, but the opening action itself generates contaminating particles. Moreover, when the sampler draws air in the opened wafer transfer cassette, the sampler 005〇88i28 I298l85 is also often π dyed in the environment inside the wafer transfer cassette, so that it is difficult to find the actual pollution source. Shen Luzhi's “Knowledge Technology” system takes samples from the process environment after the occurrence of pollution, and infers the mechanism of pollution in time based on the results of chemical analysis. Since the environmental sampling after the event may not be the same as the process environment when the actual pollution occurs, the conventional pollution source analysis technique has a considerable degree of inaccuracy. _ _ [Description of the Invention] The main purpose of the present invention is to connect the I ^ 糸 糸 供 for a process in the process of wafer processing, the process of the environment to take the sample of the Japanese yen sampling box, to avoid opening the wafer transfer The cartridge or the sampler extends into the wafer transfer box to cause contamination. To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a crystal transfer box capable of monitoring a process environment, comprising a body that can be used to transfer a plurality of wafers, and a sampling mechanism disposed on the body of the body. The taking/sampling mechanism is for adsorbing the chemical pollutants in the body, and can be disposed on the top surface of the body, on one side or on both sides. Preferably, the sampling mechanism includes an inner chamber filled with an adsorbent (e.g., glass wool): and the inner chamber has a plurality of openings that communicate with the interior of the body. In addition, the sampling mechanism may include a moving door or an opening for a user to open the wafer transfer cassette and take the air inside the body. Furthermore, the sampling mechanism may further comprise an inner member slid on the body and an outer member fastened to the inner member, and the inner member and the outer member have an opening. The internal and external environments of the body are connected. Sampling compared to the conventional technique «Crying pomelo into the Tuen Mun oil to open the wafer transfer box or inserting the sample into the Japanese yen transfer box and the 90% wood, the present invention transmits P26i64 PD0108 on the wafer. 005088128 1298185 A sampling mechanism is set on the sending box, and the air sampling in the wafer transfer box is performed through the sampling mechanism. This can avoid contamination by opening the wafer transfer cassette or inserting the sampler into the wafer transfer cassette, and can immediately adsorb pollutants in the air on the line during the semiconductor manufacturing process. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 illustrates a wafer transfer cassette 1 of a first embodiment of the present invention. The wafer cassette 10 includes a body 20 that can accommodate a plurality of wafers 12 and a sampling mechanism 30' disposed on the body 20 for adsorbing airborne impurities in the body 20. The body 20 includes a back surface 24, a bottom surface 26, a top surface 28 and two side surfaces 32A and 32B. The wafer 12 enters and exits the wafer cassette 10 through a sealed opening of a lid 22. The sampling mechanism 30 includes an inner chamber 42 disposed below the top surface 28, and an adsorbent 44 (such as a glass wool 乂 and an upper cover 48). The side wall of the inner chamber 42 has a plurality of The opening 46, when the air in the body 20 flows through the sampling mechanism 3, the adsorbent 44 can adsorb the pollutants in the air. When the wafer 12 in the wafer transfer cassette 1 undergoes a After returning to the wafer transfer cassette 10 after the semiconductor process, the adsorbent 44 can instantly adsorb the wafer transfer box (7) in the air/dyeth on the process line (〇n Hne). The circle 12 is immediately released into the wafer transfer cassette 10 after undergoing a semiconductor fabrication process. Therefore, after the completion of the privacy reaction, the upper cover 48 is opened to take out the adsorbent 44 and perform chemical analysis. The air transport contaminant of the semiconductor process. Figure 2 is a wafer transfer cassette 60 of the second embodiment of the present invention. The sampling mechanism of the wafer transfer tray 60 is provided by a guide frame 2 disposed on the back surface 24. The door 64 and an opening σ ^ 66 are formed. Preferably, the guide 62 and the activity 64 series P26164 PDoio8 005088128 1298185 is composed of polyacrylic acid imide to prevent particles from being generated when the movable door 64 is opened. Pulling the movable door 64 upwards, the opening 66' disposed on the back surface 24 is exposed to be approximately equal to the size. The diameter of the sampling head 56 of the sampler 54. During the semiconductor process, the movable door 64 is pulled down to prevent outside air from entering the interior of the body 20 via the opening 66. The movable door 64' is pulled up again during sampling. The sampling head 56 sucks the air inside the body 20 from the opening 66. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 illustrate the wafer transfer cassette 8 of the third embodiment of the present invention. The sampling mechanism 70 of the wafer transfer cassette 80 includes a The inner piece 7 2 on the top surface 28 of the body 20 and the outer piece 7 4 of the inner piece 7 2 are fastened. The inner piece 7 2 has an opening 73 and the outer piece 74 has an opening 75. The interior of the body 20 is in communication with the external environment. The opening 75 is sealed by a plug 78 during semiconductor processing. The plug 78 is unscrewed during sampling so that the sampling head 56 can draw from the opening 75. The air inside the body 20. Preferably, the sampling mechanism 70 further includes an adsorption sheet 76 disposed between the inner member 72 and the outer member 74, which may be composed of glass wool to adsorb air contaminants in the wafer cassette 2 . The invention has to open the wafer transfer cassette or project the sampler into the wafer transfer box to cause contamination when sampling by the prior art.
