[0023] A double-sided automatic exposure machine for wafer production comprises a box body 1, an exposure device 12 is arranged in the box body 1, an annular plate 2 is arranged in the box body 1, a driving mechanism is installed in the box body 1, the driving mechanism is connected to the annular plate 2 and can drive the annular plate 2 to flip, a carrier 3 is arranged above the annular plate 2, a plurality of vertical plates 4 distributed in a circular array are fixedly installed on the annular plate 2, a pressure plate 5 is arranged on one side of the vertical plates 4, two guide rods 6 arranged at intervals are fixedly installed on the side of the pressure plate 5 facing the vertical plates 4, the guide rods 6 penetrate the vertical plates 4, springs 7 are fixedly connected to the vertical plates 4, and the other end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 5, a plurality of storage slots 8 distributed in a circular array are arranged in the carrier 3, the upper end of the carrier 3 is opened and a top plate 9 is provided at the upper end, the top plate 9 can seal the carrier 3, the top plate 9 and the carrier 3 are interference fit, and the carrier 3 is arranged directly below the exposure device 12. The side of the pressing plate 5 facing the carrier 3 is configured as an arc surface, and the side of the pressing plate 5 facing the carrier 3 is provided with an anti-skid rubber suction cup layer. The driving mechanism includes a motor 10, which is fixedly installed in the box 1, and a rotating shaft 11 is fixedly installed at the output shaft end of the motor 10, and the end of the rotating shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the annular plate 2.
[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing plate 5 and the guide rod 6 are hollow inside, and a number of evenly distributed air holes are opened on the side of the pressing plate 5 facing the carrier 3. A suction pump 13 is installed on the annular plate 2, and the air inlet pipe end of the suction pump 13 is connected and fixedly installed with a pipeline 14, and a plurality of connecting pipes 15 are connected to the pipeline 14, and the connecting pipes 15 can be slidably inserted into the guide rod 6 and connected with the guide rod 6. The storage slots 8 are all penetrated by cross bars 16, and the cross bars 16 are all fixedly connected in the carrier 3. The cross bars 16 are all sleeved with elastic members 17, and the two ends of the elastic members 17 are respectively fixedly connected to the storage slots 8 and the carrier 3. The storage slots 8 are magnets, and a plurality of electromagnets 18 distributed in a circumferential array are fixedly installed in the carrier 3. An observation window is installed on the box body 1.
[0025] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the wafer is placed in the storage slot 8 and covered with the top plate 9, which can store multiple wafers. The elastic force of the spring 7 drives the pressure plate 5 to press on the outside of the carrier 3, which can preliminarily fix the carrier 3. Then, the air in the pipeline 14 is sucked by the suction pump 13.

[0026] Double-sided exposure technology allows both sides of the wafer to be exposed at the same time, which greatly reduces the number of exposures and exposure time, thereby significantly improving production efficiency. The forward exposure and reverse exposure in the double-sided exposure technology can enhance the exposure effect of each other, thereby improving the exposure quality. This technology can reduce quality problems caused by underexposure or overexposure, making the wafer manufacturing process more stable and reliable. Double-sided exposure reduces the number of exposures and exposure time, which can reduce energy and equipment consumption. Secondly, it reduces the scrap rate, further reducing production costs.
