Embodiment Construction

[0031] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, specific implementations of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] In the following description, a lot of specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present invention, but the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described here, and those skilled in the art can do it without departing from the meaning of the present invention. By analogy, the present invention is therefore not limited to the specific examples disclosed below.

[0033] As described in the background art, when the robotic arm is carrying the wafer, it must carry out the grabbing operation, and the deviation between the wafer and the robotic arm during the wafer grabbing process will cause grabbing failure and reduce production efficiency.

[0034] Whether the robot arm ...

Abstract

The invention provides a mechanical arm and a wafer grabbing device. The mechanical arm comprises a mechanical arm body which comprises a main body part and two fork arm parts, and the main body partis provided with a first fixing part. The tail end of each fork arm part is provided with a second supporting part and a second fixing part, and a height difference exists between the second fixing part and the second supporting part, so that the second fixing part and the first fixing part are enabled to fix the wafer; and the upper surface of the second supporting part inclines towards one sidesurface in the height extension direction of the second fixing part, so that the wafer gradually moves to the top of the second supporting part along the upper surface inclining towards one side surface, and the movement path of the wafer is prevented from deviating. Moreover, the second fixing part and the second supporting part have a certain height difference, so that the second fixing part caneffectively block the wafer and fix the wafer with the first fixing part, the wafer is prevented from moving out of the fork arm part in the moving process, and the grabbing success rate of the waferis increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a mechanical arm and a wafer grabbing device. Background technique [0002] In the manufacturing process of semiconductor integrated circuits, it is often necessary to carry out wafer handling by robotic arms. There are two types of wafer handling manipulators in the wafer processing system: atmospheric manipulator (FI robot) and vacuum manipulator (Vacuum robot). The former removes wafers from cassettes and places them on pre-alignment equipment. The latter removes the wafer from the pre-alignment equipment, transports it to each station for etching and other process processing, and transports the processed wafer to the interface position, waiting for the atmospheric manipulator to put it back into the wafer box. [0003] The robotic arm must carry out the grabbing operation when handling the wafer. During the process of grabbing the wafer, the deviation between the w...
