What it is

The Semitool Storm III Carrier Cleaner is a wet-processing clean tool for semiconductor manufacturing. It is a carrier cleaner configured for 8-inch wafers.[1]

How it works

General reference — not yet source-verified

A carrier cleaner typically uses wet chemical action, rinsing, and drying to remove particles, films, and residue from carriers. The cleaning sequence is designed to reach surfaces and recesses where contamination can accumulate during wafer handling and transport.

In this class of equipment, parts are loaded into a cleaning chamber or processing station, exposed to cleaning and rinse steps, and then dried before release. The machine is part of contamination control rather than wafer patterning or deposition.

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

The tool belongs in the wafer-handling and contamination-control flow, supporting cleanroom operations by preparing carriers for reuse between process steps.

Applications

General reference — not yet source-verified

This equipment is used in semiconductor fabs where reusable carriers must be kept clean for controlled wafer handling. It is relevant to wet-processing and cleanroom support operations.
