Abstract
A semiconductor baking apparatus includes a load lock chamber, a process chamber, a transfer chamber, a first interior door, and a controller. The process chamber has a first accommodating space therein. The transfer chamber has a second accommodating space therein, and the transfer chamber is connected to the load lock chamber and the process chamber. The first interior door is between the process chamber and the transfer chamber. When the first interior door is opened, the first accommodating space is communicated with the second accommodating space. The controller is programmed to open the first interior door when the semiconductor baking apparatus idles.
