Dry film; pay-off wheel and take-up wheel recycling line: the crystal support rises, driving the crystal rod and the wire mesh to separate, the pay-off roller and the take-up roller rotate, the pay-off wheel pays off the wire to the take-up wheel, so that the (m+n) kilometers of diamond wire on the pay-off wheel are all recovered and wound on the take-up wheel; the take-up wheel then pays off the wire to the pay-off roller storage section, so that the k kilometers of diamond wire on the take-up wheel are all recovered and wound on the pay-off roller storage section; the pay-off roller storage section then pays off the wire to the take-up roller storage section, so that the take-up roller storage section is wound with (kmn) kilometers of diamond wire; the pay-off roller storage section runs empty: the pay-off roller and the take-up roller rotate, and under the guidance of the wire arrangement swing arm, the pay-off roller storage section pays off h kilometers of diamond wire to the take-up roller storage section.

[0003] Due to the various characteristics of crystals (polycrystalline silicon), people have different crystal orientation accuracy requirements for the use of various crystals, and different crystal planes have different hardness, elastic modulus and fracture strength during the cutting process, and the thickness difference and warpage of the cut materials are also very different. For silicon wafers with high cutting requirements (such as silicon wafers used to prepare chips), they need to be cut in a specific way. For the above-mentioned cutting method, although it avoids the problems of TTV, warping and line marks caused by old wire cutting. However, since the positions of the diamond wire and the silicon rod used for cutting in CN108501232A are fixed and cannot be adjusted, the cutting cannot be performed according to the crystal orientation arrangement, resulting in low crystal orientation accuracy of the cut silicon wafer. Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention provides a crystal cutting device which can improve the crystal orientation of a silicon slice.

[0005] The technical solutions to the above technical problems are as follows:

[0006] A crystal cutting device comprises a pay-off roller, a take-up roller, a cutting wire, a wire net driving mechanism and a crystal fixing device. The cutting wire paid out by the pay-off roller passes around the wire net driving mechanism and is then wound on the take-up roller. A groove body is provided on the wire net driving mechanism. The cutting wire is wound along the groove body on the wire net driving mechanism to form a cutting wire net. The crystal fixing device is located on one side of the cutting wire net. The crystal fixing device comprises a lifting component and a crystal support. The crystal fixing device further comprises:

[0007] A connecting plate connected to one end of the lifting component;

[0008] A deflection adjustment component is used to drive the connection plate to deflect so as to adjust the cutting position of the crystal being cut by the cutting wire net, and the deflection adjustment component cooperates with the connection plate;

[0009] The crystal support connecting component is fixed to the connecting plate, and the crystal support connecting component cooperates with the crystal support.

[0010] The present invention drives the connecting plate through the deflection adjustment component, so that the connecting plate deflects, and the crystal support connecting component and the crystal support connected to the crystal support connecting component deflect synchronously with the connecting plate 7, thereby changing the position of the crystal. Since the position of the cutting wire mesh is fixed, when the position of the crystal changes, the position where the crystal is cut by the cutting wire mesh changes. Through such adjustment, the crystal can be cut according to the crystal orientation arrangement, thereby improving the crystal orientation accuracy of the cut silicon wafer.

[0011] In the present invention, the diamond wire is used as the cutting wire and the wire mesh driving mechanism has a structure with two driving rollers, which is particularly suitable for cutting 8-inch crystals. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
