Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of silicon wafer processing, and in particular to a single-drive two-side clamping device and a whole-wafer mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Silicon wafers are the carriers of solar cells. The quality of silicon wafers directly determines the conversion efficiency of solar cells. Solar cells require a large area of PN junction to realize the conversion of light energy to electrical energy, and the diffusion furnace is a special equipment for manufacturing PN junctions of solar cells. The tubular diffusion furnace is mainly composed of four parts: the upper and lower parts of the quartz boat, the exhaust chamber, the furnace body and the gas cabinet. Diffusion generally uses a liquid source of phosphorus oxychloride as a diffusion source. Put the P-type silicon wafer in the quartz container of the tubular diffusion furnace, use nitrogen to bring phosphorus oxychloride into the quartz container at a high temperature of 850-900 degrees Celsius, and react with phosphorus oxychloride and silicon wafers to obtain phosphorus atoms. After a certain period of time, phosphorus atoms enter the surface layer of the silicon wafer from all sides, and penetrate and diffuse into the silicon wafer through the gaps between silicon atoms, forming the interface between N-type semiconductor and P-type semiconductor, that is, PN junction.
[0003] In the prior art, when a silicon wafer is straightened in the front-to-back or left-to-right direction, two cylinders are usually used to drive two front-to-back or left-to-right push plates to straighten the silicon wafer. A large number of cylinders are used, and the error in synchronously controlling the two cylinders is large. If the cylinders are used directly for driving, collisions are likely to occur between the push plates and the silicon wafer, causing damage to the silicon wafer. Summary of the invention

The front and rear sides of the driving plate are also respectively provided with spring tension mechanisms, one end of the spring tension mechanism is fixed to the lifting plate, and the other end is fixed to the clamping assembly.
[0006] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a slider that can slide along the slide rail, a pulley arranged on the slider, and a stop arm arranged along the Y direction on the slider, and a first push plate is arranged on the stop arm, and the first push plates of the two clamping assemblies are arranged opposite to each other.

This structure makes the adjustment sheet body an elastic structure, and when the adjustment sheet body touches the silicon wafer, it is a flexible contact, and will not cause damage to the edge of the silicon wafer.

[0056] like Fig.10 As shown, the conveying device 1 includes two side panels 12 arranged in a left-right direction, and synchronously moving conveyor belts 13 are respectively installed on the side panels 12. Top panels 11 are respectively installed on the tops of the side panels 12, and the height of the top panels 11 is greater than the height of the conveyor belt 13. When the silicon wafer loading device 2 is transported on the conveyor belt 13, the base 21 is located between the two top panels 11. The first fixing seat 325 of the first Y-direction positioning device 31 and the second fixing seat 315 of the second Y-direction positioning device 32 are respectively installed on the outer walls of the two side panels 12.
[0057] The pair of base positioning devices are respectively a first base positioning device 5 and a second base positioning device 6 .
[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the first base positioning device 5 includes a third fixed seat 51 installed on the conveying device 1, a sixth cylinder 52 installed on the third fixed seat 51, a seventh cylinder 53 driven by the sixth cylinder 52 along the Y direction, and a first base blocking member 54 that can be raised and lowered under the drive of the seventh cylinder 53.

[0060] The working process of the whole mechanism of this application is as follows:
[0061] (i) Positioning of the silicon wafer loading device 2 in the X direction: When the silicon wafer loading device 2 moves on the conveyor belt 13, the first base blocking portion of the first base positioning device 5 and the second base blocking portion of the second base positioning device 6 are located at the lower side of the conveyor belt 13. When the silicon wafer loading device 2 is conveyed to the whole wafer workstation by the conveying device 1, the conveyor belt 13 stops transmitting, and the seventh cylinder 53 of the first base positioning device 5 located on the front side of the silicon wafer loading device 2 drives the first base stopper 54 to rise, and the eighth cylinder of the second base positioning device 6 located on the rear side of the silicon wafer loading device 2 drives the second base stopper 63 to rise until the base of the silicon wafer loading device 2 is between the first base stopper 54 and the second base stopper 63, and then, the sixth cylinder 52 drives the seventh cylinder 53 to move toward the silicon wafer loading device 2 along the X direction, so that the first base stopper 54 pushes the base 21 of the silicon wafer loading device 2 until the base 21 of the silicon wafer loading device 2 touches the second base stopper 63, at which time, the silicon wafer loading device 2 is limited between the first base stopper 54 and the second base stopper 63 in the X direction.
[0062] (ii) Positioning of the silicon wafer loading device 2 in the Y direction: the third cylinder 322 of the second Y-direction positioning device 32 drives the first limit block 326 to move along the Y direction, so that the first limit block 326 pushes the base 21 of the silicon wafer loading device 2 until the other side of the base 21 of the silicon wafer loading device 2 touches the top plate 11. At this time, the silicon wafer loading device 2 is limited in the Y direction between the first limit block 326 and the top plate 11.
[0063] (III) Whole wafer in X direction: When the wafer loading device 2 moves on the conveyor belt 13, the first push plate 46 that drives the clamping devices on both sides is located on the upper side of the wafer loading device 2, and the wafer loading device 2 can pass through the lower part of the X-direction positioning device 4. When the wafer loading device 2 is transferred to the whole wafer station and completes the positioning in the X and Y directions, the first cylinder 41 drives the second cylinder 43 and the clamping assembly to descend until the wafer loading device 2 is located between the two first push plates 46. At this time, the two clamping assemblies are in an open state, and the first push plate 46 and the wafer loading device 2 are separated from each other. Then, the second cylinder 43 controls the drive plate 49 to retract, and the two clamping assemblies approach each other under the action of the spring 472, clamping the wafer loading device 2, and completing the whole wafer in X direction.
[0064] (IV) Whole-piece silicon wafer in Y direction: The fifth cylinder 313 of the first Y-direction positioning device 31 and the fourth cylinder 323 of the second Y-direction positioning device 32 respectively drive the third push plate 314 and the second push plate 324 to move toward each other along the Y direction, thereby completing the whole-piece silicon wafer in Y direction.
[0065] (V) Move the completed wafer loading device 2 to the next workstation: (1) The fifth cylinder 313 of the first Y-axis positioning device 31 and the fourth cylinder 323 of the second Y-axis positioning device 32 respectively drive the third push plate 314 and the second push plate 324 to withdraw to their original positions along the Y-axis, and the third cylinder 322 of the second Y-axis positioning device 32 controls the first limit block 326 to withdraw to its original position; (2) The second cylinder 43 of the clamping device 4 on both sides is driven to extend the drive plate 49 and insert it between the two pulleys 441. The two clamping assemblies are relatively separated, and the first push plate 46 is separated from the wafer loading mechanism. The first cylinder 41 drives the second cylinder 43 and the clamping assembly to rise to the upper side of the wafer loading mechanism.
[0066] (3) The sixth cylinder 52 of the first base positioning device 5 drives the seventh cylinder 53 to return to its original position. The seventh cylinder 53 of the first base positioning device 5 and the eighth cylinder 62 of the second base positioning device 6 respectively drive the first base blocking member 54 and the second base blocking member 63 to descend to the lower side of the silicon wafer loading device 2. The conveyor belt 13 restarts to move the silicon wafer loading device 2 to the next workstation.

In step (iv), the second baffles 3241 on the second push plate 324 and the third baffles on the third push plate 314 are respectively inserted into the corresponding recessed areas 221 to perform the whole wafer. Since the edge of the silicon wafer is smaller than the edge of the carrier 22, the deviation caused by the collision of the silicon wafer during the transportation process can be prevented. At the same time, each edge of the silicon wafer is respectively sliced by two baffles, which can prevent the silicon wafer from twisting during the whole wafer process, and the whole wafer effect is better.

[0070] The C-shaped adjustment piece can be fine-tuned relative to the first stop bar 461 along the Y direction to change the relative distance between the two clamping components and change the clamping force between the clamping components. In addition, the adjustment piece 462 is made of metal material, and the structure of the first stop bar 461 is also a C-shaped structure. The first stop bar 461 is arranged opposite to the opening of the adjustment piece, and there is a gap between the adjustment piece body and the first stop bar 461. This structure makes the adjustment piece body an elastic structure, and when the adjustment piece body touches the silicon wafer, it is a flexible contact and will not cause damage to the edge of the silicon wafer.
