[0002] With the rapid development of China's semiconductor industry, due to the polishing process characteristics of regular wafers, in order to protect the wafers and prevent chipping of the four sides during the polishing process, it is required to bond four margins around the regular wafers. The four margins are connected end to end to form a new rectangle around the regular wafer, and they must be bonded seamlessly. Otherwise, the wafer will chip and be damaged during the polishing process. Therefore, the bonding gap between the wafer and the margin is an important factor affecting the polishing process.

[0003] In the existing extrusion mechanism, although the method of simultaneously extruding from 4 directions of the wafer is also adopted, the extrusion mechanism uses a spring structure with a guide. Due to mechanical reasons during the compression of the spring, the force provided is not very stable, sometimes large and sometimes small, resulting in unstable thrust and difficult adjustment. Even if there is no gap after extrusion in place, once the extrusion mechanism returns, since the extrusion block and the margin adopt surface contact and the contact surface is too large, the margin will be randomly pulled out when the extrusion block returns, causing a gap between the wafer and the margin, resulting in the disadvantage of poor quality of the wafer polishing process.

[0051] Embodiment 6

[0052] As Figure 4 shown, preferably, an extrusion system for the accompanying edge of a semiconductor base material wafer includes four extrusion mechanisms for the accompanying edge of a semiconductor base material wafer as described in any one of the above, and two groups of ball screws.

The bent plates 1 of the two extrusion mechanisms in each group are respectively connected to both ends of the ball screw through connecting pieces, and the two extrusion mechanisms in each group are arranged in central symmetry.

[0053] Preferably, the ball screws are left - and - right - hand screws. The two groups of ball screws drive the two groups of extrusion mechanisms to move respectively to complete the simultaneous extrusion of the wafer in four directions.

[0054] The four extrusion mechanisms can be installed according to the existing installation method. Install the four extrusion mechanisms in four directions to complete the simultaneous extrusion of the wafer in four directions.

[0055] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0056] As Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, the present invention provides an extrusion mechanism for the bevel of a semiconductor base material wafer, which includes a bent plate 1, a support 3, a swing rod 6, a probe 10, a probe positioning component, a swing rod rotation component, and a swing rod rotation angle adjustment component. The probe 10 is installed in the probe positioning component, the swing rod 6 is rotatably fixed in the swing rod rotation component, and the probe 10 and the swing rod rotation angle adjustment component limit the swing angle of the swing rod 6 from both sides of the swing rod 6. In this way, the thrust and swing angle of the swing rod 6 can be adjusted by adjusting the probe or the swing rod rotation angle adjustment component. The number of swing rods 6 is 3 to 4, and the swing rod 6 is in point contact with the bevel 15, so that there are only a few contact points between the extrusion mechanism and the bevel 15, reducing the contact area, preventing the bevel 15 from rebounding or being taken out during the return process of the extrusion mechanism, avoiding the appearance of gaps, and improving the quality of the wafer polishing process; the extrusion of the bevel in the extrusion mechanism is achieved by the swing rod 6. When the swing rod 6 is in extrusion contact with the bevel, due to the resistance of the bevel to the swing rod 6, the swing rod 6 will rotate backward by a certain angle, and the probe 10 is compressed, so that the bevel is pushed in the direction of the wafer 16 to achieve the purpose of extrusion. When the extrusion mechanism returns, the swing rod 6 does not move directly in the opposite direction, but first returns from the compressed state to the normal state. At this time, a continuous pressure will be provided to the bevel 15 to prevent the bevel 15 from rebounding. When the swing rod 6 swings to the position limited by the swing rod rotation angle adjustment component, the swing rod 6 is separated from the bevel 15 to prevent the bevel 15 from being taken out. The magnitude of the bevel thrust is adjusted manually through the probe positioning component or by replacing the probe specifications, and the swing angle of the swing rod 6 is adjusted manually through the swing rod rotation angle adjustment component.

[0057] The assembly process of the present invention is as follows:

[0058] The first step is to complete the assembly of the probe positioning component: insert the probe 10 into the probe hole 2-1 on the connecting block 2, with one end of the probe head 10 protruding and the other end fixed by the fourth screw 12. The protruding length of the probe 10 is adjusted by the fourth screw 12, and there are 3 to 4 sets of probes in total;

[0059] The second step is to complete the assembly of the swing rod rotation component: first install 2 fixing seats 5 on the support 3, then install the connecting shaft 4, the swing rod 6, and the spacer sleeve 7 on the fixing seats 5 in sequence, and finally fix them with nuts;

[0060] The third step is to complete the assembly of the swing rod rotation angle adjustment component: the nut 13 and the fifth screw 14 are fixed on the support 3. Adjusting the fifth screw 14 can adjust the rotation angle of the swing rod 6, and after adjustment, it is fixed with the nut 13;

[0061] The fourth step is to connect the probe positioning component and the support 3 with the second screw 9;

[0062] The fifth step is to connect the support 3 to the bent plate 1 with the first screw 8.

[0063] When the extrusion mechanism moves forward, the swing rod 6 first contacts the accompanying edge 15. As the extrusion mechanism moves forward a greater distance, the swing rod 6 will swing backward due to the resistance of the accompanying edge 15. At this time, the probe 10 installed on the connecting block 2 generates a certain thrust on the swing rod 6 swinging backward, so that the swing rod 6 pushes the accompanying edge 15 to move toward the wafer 16, thereby achieving the purpose of extruding the accompanying edge. The extrusion distance of the extrusion mechanism is achieved through the control system and can be manually set according to actual conditions. The control system adopts a conventional PLC control system.

[0064] The invention discloses an extrusion mechanism for a semiconductor basic material wafer edge, comprising a bending plate, a support, a swing rod, a probe, a probe positioning assembly, a swing rod rotating assembly and a swing rod rotation angle adjustment assembly. The probe is installed on the probe positioning assembly, and the swing rod is rotatably installed on the swing rod rotating assembly. The probe and the swing rod rotation angle adjustment assembly limit the swing angle of the swing rod from both sides of the swing rod, so that the thrust and the swing angle of the swing rod can be adjusted by adjusting the probe or the swing rod rotation angle adjustment assembly. The number of the swing rods is 3 to 4, and the swing rod and the edge are in point contact, so that there are only a few contact points between the extrusion mechanism and the edge, which reduces the contact area, so that the edge will not rebound or be carried out during the return process of the extrusion mechanism, avoid the occurrence of gaps, and improve the quality of the wafer polishing process.

[0065] The present invention adopts the structure of a probe and a probe positioning assembly, and the probe is fixedly installed in the probe positioning assembly. One end of the probe extends from the probe positioning assembly to support the rocker arm. The mechanical guidance of the probe is relatively stable. The thrust size can be manually adjusted through the probe positioning assembly, or probes of different specifications can be selected according to different thrust sizes.

[0066] The present invention adopts a connection structure of a rocker arm and a rocker arm rotating assembly, and a plurality of rocker arms are rotatably fixed on the rocker arm rotating assembly. The number of rocker arms can be selected according to the length of the accompanying edge. A spacer is provided between two adjacent rocker arms, so that the two adjacent rocker arms do not affect each other. The upper side of the rocker arm is connected to the rocker arm rotating assembly, and the lower side of the rocker arm extends out from the notch of the support to push the accompanying edge.

[0067] The invention discloses an extrusion system for a semiconductor basic material wafer edge. The extrusion system comprises four extrusion mechanisms and two sets of ball screws. The wafer is extruded simultaneously from four directions, with a symmetrical layout, left-right symmetry, and front-back symmetry. The extrusion distance is achieved by driving the ball screws with a stepping motor. The ball screws are left-right rotating screws, which respectively drive the left and right extrusion mechanisms to move left and right, and the front and rear extrusion mechanisms to move back and forth, so as to complete the simultaneous extrusion of the wafer in four directions. Each extrusion mechanism and the edge are in contact with each other using a probe point, so that the edge will not rebound during the return process of the extrusion mechanism, so as to ensure the bonding quality.

[0068] The above has described the preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art.
