[0031] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.

[0032] Before introducing the present invention in detail, the working principle of the plasma etching machine is briefly introduced. The plasma etching machine mainly processes the devices inside the chamber through its own closed chamber. At present, when the wafer inside the chamber is processed and etched, if its position is offset, the etching effect of the wafer will be poor. There is no better solution at present. It is mainly to make subjective judgments by observing the position of the wafer when it is placed. Even if the wafer is at the target position when it is placed, when the wafer is processed, due to various reasons such as vibration, the displacement of the fixing mechanism 12, etc., the displacement of the wafer will be caused, which will reduce the wafer qualification rate. When the example etching machine is working, the interior is full of reaction gas. If the wafer is rearranged by opening the chamber, it will not only affect the efficiency, but also seriously affect the quality of the product (due to contact with air).

[0033] Figure 1 It is a module block diagram of a wafer deviation correction device of a plasma etching machine of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the wafer offset correction device of the plasma etching machine includes: an offset detection mechanism, which is placed inside the plasma etching machine, and is used to detect the offset angles of the wafer relative to the target position in the X-axis, Y-axis and / or Z-axis directions when the plasma etching machine etches the wafer; and an offset correction mechanism, which is connected to the fixing mechanism 12 that carries the wafer, and is used to adjust the fixing mechanism 12 when any of the offset angles of the wafer in the X-axis, Y-axis and / or Z-axis directions is greater than a preset angle threshold, so that the wafer is in the target position. The offset detection mechanism and the offset correction mechanism are placed independently in the plasma etching machine. The two parts correspond to different functions, and the two can cooperate with each other and will not collide. In addition, the present invention makes certain improvements to the fixing mechanism 12, for example, it is only used to fix the wafer to avoid damage to the wafer, and the whole is not fixed inside the plasma etching machine, but can be moved to a certain position under the control of the offset correction mechanism, and the moving direction is X, Y, and Z directions.
