Abstract
Abstract The apparatus includes a treating container having a light transmission window and a closure member for opening and closing the container, a light source positioned opposite the light transmission window, and equipment for deoxygenating at least a substantial portion of the oxygen from the interior of the container. The container is charged with a semiconductor wafer adhered to a substantially light transparent substrate by a photo-setting adhesive agent. The agent is cured or hardened by irradiation by the light source thereby decreasing its adhesive force. A first cassette casing, a charging conveyor for removing untreated workpieces from the first cassette casing, a charging conveyor for removing untreated workpieces from the charging conveyor into the container can be provided at one side of the container. A discharging arm for removing the treated workpiece from the container, second cassette casing, and a discharging conveyor for transferring treated workpieces from the discharging arm to the second cassette casing can be provided on the other side of the container.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A control apparatus for reducing an adhesive force of an adhesive agent adhering between a semiconductor and a substrate, said apparatus comprising: a treating container having a light transmission window and a closure member for closing and opening said container, said container being charged with a workpiece formed by adhering the semiconductor wafer to a substantially light transparent substrate by a photo-setting adhesive agent, a light source positioned opposite said light transmission window, and a deoxygenating means connected to said container for removing at least a substantial portion of the oxygen of an internal atmosphere of the container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A control apparatus for reducing an adhesive force of an adhesive agent adhering between a semiconductor and a substrate, said apparatus comprising: a treating container having a light transmission window and a closure member for closing and opening said container, said container being charged with a workpiece formed by adhering the semiconductor wafer to a substantially light transparent substrate by a photo-setting adhesive agent, a light source positioned opposite said light transmission window, and a deoxygenating means connected to said container for removing at least a substantial portion of the oxygen of an internal atmosphere of the container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A control apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a casing surrounding said light source having a slit therein, and wherein said treating container is arranged to reciprocate across the front surface of said slit disposed between the container and the light source.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
140 words
A control apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a first cassette casing which is movable upward and downward and contains therein a plurality of said workpieces, a charging conveyer for taking out the workpiece from the first cassette casing, and a charging arm for charging the workpiece from said charging conveyer into the container having a sucker means thereon, said first cassette casing, said charging conveyer, and said charging arm being provided on one side of the container, a discharging arm for discharging the workpiece from the container having a sucker means thereof, an empty second cassette casing which is movable upward and downward, and a discharging conveyer for conveying the workpiece into said second cassette casing, said discharging arm, said discharging conveyer and said second cassette casing being provided on the other side of the treating container.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
37 words
A control apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein said charging arm and said discharging arm convey said workpiece linerarly and charge said workpiece into and discharge said workpiece from the container by respective linear reciprocating movements.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
64 words
A control apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein the charging arm and the discharging arm are swingable arm units, and said apparatus further comprises a turning table means provided at a moved discharging position of the discharging arm for receiving said workpiece from said discharging arm, turning said workpiece through a predetermined angle, and transferring said workpiece to the discharging conveyer located therebelow.
