[0042] A stage 1, a base 3, and a gas guide column 2.
[0043] The stage 1 has an existing vacuum plate structure with a vacuum chamber inside. There are several adsorption holes 11 on the top surface of the stage 1 that communicate with the vacuum chamber, and the wafer is fixed by means of vacuum adsorption.
[0044] The gas guide column 2 is perpendicular to the stage 1, and its top is rotationally connected to the bottom of the stage 1 through a rotary joint 22; the gas guide channel 21 inside the gas guide column 2 is connected and conducted with the vacuum chamber through the rotary joint 22; one end of the gas guide channel 21 extends to the top surface of the gas guide column 2 to form an air inlet, and the other end can extend out of the gas guide column 2 to facilitate the connection of a vacuum pumping device; the rotary joint 22 in the present application can be an existing single-channel starting rotary joint 22, ensuring rotational connection with each other without affecting gas conduction.
[0045] The gas guide column 2 is rotationally connected to the base 3, and its rotation center line is perpendicular to the rotation center line of the stage 1, so that the gas guide column 2 can rotate vertically to adjust the tilt angle of the stage 1. In the present application, the stage 1 is configured to be able to rotate horizontally 360° relative to the gas guide column 2, and the gas guide column 2 is configured to be able to rotate vertically 180° relative to the base 3. Those skilled in the art can design the change of the rotation angle range according to actual needs without limitation.
[0046] The stage 1 is connected to the gas guide column 2 through the rotary joint 22, and can realize horizontal rotation adjustment; at the same time, through the rotational cooperation between the gas guide column 2 and the base 3, vertical rotation adjustment can be realized to adjust the tilt state; the adjustment is simple, convenient and flexible, which can save inspection time and improve inspection efficiency.
[0047] The above is Embodiment 1 of the microscope rotating tray device provided in the embodiment of the present application. The following is Embodiment 2 of the microscope rotating tray device provided in the embodiment of the present application. Please specifically refer to Figures 1 to 2 .
[0048] Based on the solution of the above Embodiment 1:
[0049] Furthermore, a column 4 is vertically installed on the base 3, and the gas guide column 2 is rotationally connected to the column 4. By providing the column 4 to be connected to the gas guide column 2, it is more convenient to connect and cooperate with the gas guide column 2 to realize the vertical rotation adjustment of the gas guide column 2, and further adjust the tilt angle of the stage 1.
[0050] Furthermore, a through groove 41 that penetrates the column 4 and is U-shaped is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the column 4, and the top end of the through groove 41 penetrates the top end of the column 4.
[0051] At least one side wall surface of the through groove 41 is provided with a through hole (not shown in the figure) that penetrates the column 4, and a connecting rod member 6 is installed in the through hole.
[0052] A connecting groove (not shown in the figure) for the corresponding insertion of the connecting rod member 6 is provided on the side surface of the column section of the air guide column 2 extending into the through groove 41, so that the air guide column 2 can rotate around the connecting rod member 6.
[0053] Furthermore, for a more stable rotation connection setting, through holes that penetrate the column 4 are provided on both side wall surfaces of the through groove 41, two connecting rod members 6 are correspondingly provided, and two connecting grooves for one end of the connecting rod member 6 to extend into are provided on the air guide column 2 in one-to-one correspondence.
[0054] Furthermore, the through hole can be designed as a threaded hole. Taking this as an example, the connecting rod member 6 is designed as a threaded rod member, and one end of it extending into the connecting groove can be in contact with and abutted against the end wall of the connecting groove. By rotating the connecting rod member 6, the contact force between one end of it and the connecting groove can be adjusted, thereby controlling the rotational connection damping between the air guide column 2 and the column 4, so as to adapt to different rotational adjustment requirements, and the air guide column 2 after rotational adjustment can also be locked, and thus there is no need for manual dragging, making it more convenient to use; of course, a rotating motor can also be added to achieve electric rotation control, and those skilled in the art can make variations according to needs without limitation.
[0055] Furthermore, the connecting rod member 6 can specifically be a bolt, and its threaded rod section extends into the through groove 41 movably.

By providing the marking table 5 with the marking line 51, the wafer can be placed accurately, improving the efficiency.
[0058] Furthermore, the marking table 5 can be sleeved outside the carrier table 1 and is in damping connection with the carrier table 1. When subjected to an external force, it can move along the rotation center line direction of the carrier table 1, that is, it can move up and down relative to the carrier table 1; when used for marking alignment, it rises to the required height for better observing the object alignment; after the marking alignment is completed, it moves down a certain height to reset.
[0059] Further, the identification line 51 is a closed line arranged around the circumference of the stage 1; there are multiple identification lines 51, and they are arranged in a circular array along the outer edge of the stage 1 towards the outer edge of the identification table 5. Each closed line corresponds to a wafer of a specific size. In this application, the stage 1 can be circular, and the identification table 5 can be annular. The closed line is circular, and it can be adaptively designed according to the shape of the object to be inspected without limitation.
[0060] Further, it further includes an adjusting member 7. The adjusting member 7 is connected to the stage 1 and is used to drive the stage 1 to rotate.
[0061] Further, the adjusting member 7 can specifically be a ring sleeve structure. The adjusting member 7 is sleeved and fixed on the part of the rotary joint 22 connected to the stage 1. By rotating the adjusting member 7, the stage 1 can be driven to rotate, improving the convenience of use.
