Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of semiconductor wafer testing technology, and in particular, it is an anti-splatter wafer dotting device. Background Technology
[0002] After semiconductor wafers are manufactured, they need to undergo CP testing. In the CP testing process, a probe station and a testing machine are used to screen each die on the wafer one by one using a specific testing program. At the same time, the dotting device on the probe station marks the die that does not meet the requirements with ink dots, which is a prerequisite for the subsequent packaging and die bonding.
[0003] Existing wafer dotting devices are mounted on a probe station using a base. The probe station outputs a high-level signal, and the coil on the dotting device generates a magnetic field that causes the dotting device linkage to engage. The linkage, along with the ink guide wire, moves downwards. The ink guide wire passes through a funnel containing ink and carries the ink to the chip surface. When the coil magnetic field disappears, the linkage, under the influence of the spring force, moves the ink guide wire upwards, away from the chip surface. As the dotting device frequently dots, the up-and-down movement of the ink guide wire causes ink to adhere to the ink guide wire. Some ink droplets splash onto other wafers as the ink guide wire moves, causing contamination. This requires cleaning the entire wafer and performing a second dotting process.
[0004] Chinese utility model patent CN212010910U proposes a wafer dotting device. This patent application proposes to set the dotting device in a rectangular groove provided on the worktable to solve the problem of reduced lifespan. However, during operation, ink droplets may splash onto other chips as the ink guide filament moves, causing contamination.
[0005] To solve the above problems, there is an urgent need to invent an ink-splatter-resistant wafer dotting device. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a design for an ink-resistant wafer dotting device. By setting a high-temperature resistant buffer layer, it can support the newly produced high-temperature wheel hub and protect the outer surface of the high-temperature wheel hub. This device solves the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.
[0007] This utility model discloses an ink-splatter-resistant wafer dotting device, comprising: a base support, an adjustable support, a fixed support, a coil, a funnel, a connecting rod, a spring, an ink guide wire, a limiting screw one and a limiting screw two. The spring is axially fixedly connected below the connecting rod, and the coil is axially fixedly connected below the spring. A funnel is axially provided below the coil, and the funnel is fixedly connected to the adjustable support. An ink-fixing tube is provided inside the funnel to prevent ink on the ink guide wire from splashing onto the wafer surface.
[0008] Preferably, the base support and the adjustable support are movably bolted together at the middle, the adjustable support is fixedly connected to the fixed support at the middle, and the fixed support is fixedly engaged with the connecting rod by a limiting screw.
[0009] Preferably, the adjustable bracket has an "L" shaped structure, and a limiting screw two is bolted to the tail end of the adjustable bracket. A frustum structure is fixed to the top of the limiting screw two. The frustum structure is used to adjust the vertical position of the connecting rod, and the limiting screw one is used to limit the horizontal position of the connecting rod.
[0010] Preferably, the fixed bracket fixes the coil laterally on the adjustable bracket.
[0011] Preferably, there are multiple ink-solidifying tubes arranged in a circle around the axis of the funnel. The ink-solidifying tubes are located inside the funnel with their tops positioned higher than the upper edge of the funnel. The inner wall of the portion of the ink-solidifying tube that extends into the funnel has multiple circular holes.
[0012] Preferably, the ink guide wire passes sequentially through the funnel, coil, spring, and connecting rod at their axial positions, and is clamped and fixed by the connecting rod.
[0013] Beneficial effects
[0014] This invention develops an ink-splatter-resistant wafer dotting device. The device features a tubular ink-fixing tube with multiple circular holes inside a funnel. The ink-fixing tube is positioned above the upper edge of the funnel. The slender tube prevents the ink guide wire from bending or splattering excessively during its movement within the coil and connecting rod. The inner wall of the portion of the ink-fixing tube extending into the funnel has circular holes to prevent ink blockage. Furthermore, when ink adhering to the ink guide wire splashes, it falls into the ink-fixing tube, preventing ink from splashing onto the wafer surface and causing contamination. This invention improves product quality and increases production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] This utility model discloses an ink-splatter-resistant wafer dotting device, comprising: a base support 1, an adjustable support 2, a fixed support 3, a coil 4, a funnel 5, a connecting rod 6, a spring 7, an ink guide wire 8, a first limiting screw 9 and a second limiting screw 10. The spring 7 is axially fixedly connected below the connecting rod 6, and the coil 4 is axially fixedly connected below the spring 7. The spring 7 stretches when the coil 4 is energized and displaced, and the spring 7 restores the coil 4 to its original position when the coil 4 is de-energized. The funnel 5 is axially provided below the coil 4 and is used to hold ink. An ink-fixing tube 13 is provided inside the funnel 5. When the coil 4 pulls the spring 7 and the connecting rod 6 to move up and down, the ink on the ink guide wire 8 is splashed into the ink-fixing tube 13, and the ink-fixing tube 13 prevents the ink on the ink guide wire 8 from splashing onto the wafer surface.
[0020] In some embodiments, the base bracket 1 and the adjustable bracket 2 are movably bolted together at the middle. The base bracket 1 is fixed, while the adjustable bracket 2 can be angled around the pivot 12. A fixed bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the adjustable bracket 2. The fixed bracket 3 fixes the coil 4 laterally on the adjustable bracket 2. The fixed bracket 3 is fixed to the connecting rod 6 by a limit screw 9.
[0021] In some embodiments, the adjustable bracket 2 has an "L" shaped structure. The front end of the adjustable bracket 2 is fixed to the position of the funnel 5, and the tail end of the adjustable bracket 2 is bolted with a limiting screw 10. A frustum structure 11 is fixed to the top of the limiting screw 10. An anti-slip groove is provided on the outer side of the frustum structure 11. By rotating the frustum structure 11, the position of the limiting screw 10 is adjusted, so that the frustum structure 11 can adjust the vertical direction of the connecting rod 6, and the limiting screw 9 limits the horizontal direction of the connecting rod 6.
[0022] In some embodiments, there are multiple ink tubes 13, which are arranged in a circle around the axis of the funnel 5. The ink tubes 13 have a tubular structure and are located inside the funnel 5 with their tops higher than the upper edge of the funnel 5. The slender ink tubes 13 can ensure that the ink guide wire 8 does not bend or splash ink when it moves up and down inside the funnel 5. The inner wall of the portion of the ink tube 13 that extends into the funnel 5 has multiple round holes to ensure that the ink in the funnel 5 does not become clogged. The ink that splashes onto the ink guide wire 8 inside the funnel 5 flows back into the ink tube 13 and does not splash ink onto the wafer surface.
[0023] In some embodiments, the ink guide wire 8 passes sequentially through the funnel 5, coil 4, spring 7 and connecting rod 6 at their axial positions. The ink guide wire 8 moves back and forth within the device. The ink guide wire 8 is clamped and fixed with the connecting rod 6. The ink guide wire 8 is pulled by the connecting rod 6 to achieve wafer dotting.

[0026] This invention provides a tubular ink-fixing tube 13 with a round hole inside the funnel 5. The position of the ink-fixing tube 13 is higher than the upper edge of the funnel 5. The ink-fixing tube 13 can ensure that the ink guide wire 8 does not bend or splash ink when it moves up and down inside. The inner wall of the part of the ink-fixing tube 13 that extends into the funnel 5 has a round hole, which can prevent the ink inside the funnel 5 from becoming blocked.
[0027] Using this invention, the ink on the ink guide wire 8 is sprayed into the ink tube 13, ensuring that the ink will not splash onto the wafer surface and cause secondary pollution.
