[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10, the carrier device 100 according to the embodiments of the present application includes a cover plate 10, a first bracket 20, a second bracket 30, a driving member 40, and a pressing member 50. The first bracket 20 is disposed on the first side 111 of the cover plate 10. The first bracket 20 is provided with a first cavity 221. The first bracket 20 is used for carrying a first workpiece 2000 having a first size. The first cavity 221 can expose a first area 2001 of the first workpiece 2000. The second bracket 30 is disposed on the first side 111 of the cover plate 10 and forms a receiving space 35 with the cover plate 10. The first bracket 20 is located in the receiving space 35. The second bracket 30 is used for carrying a second workpiece 3000 having a second size, and the second size is greater than the first size. The second bracket 30 is provided with a second cavity 321. The second cavity 321 can expose a first area 3001 of the second workpiece 3000. The driving member 40 is mounted on the first side 1111 of the cover plate 10. The pressing member 50 is connected to the driving member 40.

The second area 2003 of the first workpiece 2000 surrounds the first area 2001 of the first workpiece 2000, and the second area 3003 of the second workpiece 3000 surrounds the first area 3001 of the second workpiece 3000.
[0042] Among them, the carrier device 100 can be used to carry various workpieces for subsequent processing, such as carrying components such as wafers, chips, display panels, mobile phone front covers, mobile phone back covers, VR glasses, AR glasses, smart watch cover plates, glass, lenses, wood, iron plates, and the housings of any device (such as mobile phone cases), etc., for subsequent detection, etching, coating, cutting and other processing.
[0043] The first workpiece 2000 can be components such as wafers, chips, display panels, mobile phone front covers, mobile phone back covers, VR glasses, AR glasses, smart watch cover plates, glass, lenses, wood, iron plates, and the housings of any device (such as mobile phone cases), etc. Please refer to Figure 9, the first workpiece 2000 includes a first region 2001, a second region 2003 and a third region 2002. The first region 2001 is located at the middle position of the first workpiece 2000. The third region 2002 surrounds the first region 2001, and the second region 2003 surrounds the third region 2002. When the first workpiece 2000 is carried by the carrying device 100 for processing, it can be that the front side of the first workpiece 2000 faces the cover plate 10, and the back side of the first region 2001 of the first workpiece 2000 is exposed from the first cavity 221 to perform processing on the back side of the first workpiece 2000.

For example, when the first workpiece 2000 is jointly formed by a film frame, a film and a wafer, the wafer is mounted on the film, and the film is mounted on the film frame. The region where the wafer is located corresponds to the first region 2001 of the first workpiece 2000, the region where the film frame is located corresponds to the second region 2003 of the first workpiece 2000, and the film region between the wafer and the film frame corresponds to the third region 2002 of the first workpiece 2000. When the first workpiece 2000 is carried by the carrying device 100 to perform processing such as detection, it can be that the wafer faces the cover plate 10, and the film on the back side of the wafer is exposed from the first cavity 221 to detect the film, so as to detect whether there are void bubbles, foreign particles, and whether the film has wrinkles and other bonding quality problems between the wafer and the film. When the first workpiece 2000 is carried by the carrying device 100 to perform processing such as detection, it can also be that the wafer deviates from the cover plate 10 and is exposed from the first cavity 221, and the film on the back side of the wafer faces the cover plate 10, so as to detect at least one of the defects of the wafer, the concentricity between the wafer and the film, and the concentricity between the wafer and the film frame.
[0044] Similarly, the second workpiece 3000 can also be components such as a wafer, a chip, a display panel, a front cover of a mobile phone, a back cover of a mobile phone, a VR glasses, an AR glasses, a cover plate of a smart watch, glass, a lens, wood, an iron plate, a housing of any device (such as a mobile phone case), etc. Please refer to Figure 10, the second workpiece 3000 includes a first region 3001, a second region 3003 and a third region 3002. The first region 3001 is located at the middle position of the second workpiece 3000. The third region 3002 surrounds the first region 3001, and the second region 3003 surrounds the third region 3002. When the second workpiece 3000 is carried on the carrying device 100 for processing, it can be that the front side of the second workpiece 3000 faces the cover plate 10, and the back side of the first region 3001 of the second workpiece 3000 is exposed from the first cavity 221 to perform processing on the back side of the second workpiece 3000. Or it can be that the back side of the second workpiece 3000 faces the cover plate 10, and the front side of the first region 3001 of the second workpiece 3000 is exposed from the first cavity 221 to perform processing on the back side of the second workpiece 3000. For example, when the second workpiece 3000 is jointly formed by a film frame, a film and a wafer, the wafer is mounted on the film, and the film is mounted on the film frame. The region where the wafer is located corresponds to the first region 3001 of the second workpiece 3000, the region where the film frame is located corresponds to the second region 3003 of the second workpiece 3000, and the film region between the wafer and the film frame corresponds to the third region 3002 of the second workpiece 3000. When the second workpiece 3000 is carried on the carrying device 100 to perform processing such as detection, it can be that the wafer faces the cover plate 10, and the film on the back side of the wafer is exposed from the first cavity 221 to be able to detect the film, so as to detect whether there are void bubbles, foreign particles between the wafer and the film, and whether the film has wrinkles and other bonding quality problems. When the second workpiece 3000 is carried on the carrying device 100 to perform processing such as detection, it can also be that the wafer faces away from the cover plate 10 and is exposed from the first cavity 221, and the film on the back side of the wafer faces the cover plate 10, so as to be able to detect at least one of the defects of the wafer, the concentricity between the wafer and the film, and the concentricity between the wafer and the film frame.
[0045] The carrying device 100 of the present application drives the pressing member 50 to move through the driving member 40, and presses workpieces of different sizes against the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30, so as to stably place the workpiece on the carrying device 100 and improve the processing accuracy of the workpiece. In addition, when the first workpiece 2000 and the second workpiece 3000 are carried on the carrying device 100, due to the settings of the first cavity 221 and the second cavity 321, both the front side and the back side of the first workpiece 2000 can be processed (detected), and both the front side and the back side of the second workpiece 3000 can be processed (detected), which broadens the applicable scenarios of the carrying device 100.
[0046] The following will be further described with reference to the drawings.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 3, the cover plate 10 includes a body 11, a first extension arm 12 and a second extension arm 13. The first extension arm 12 is disposed on the first side 111 of the body 11 and is connected to the first bracket 20. The second extension arm 13 is disposed on the first side 111 of the body 11 and is connected to the second bracket 20, and the second extension arm 13 is disposed around the first extension arm 12. Specifically, the first extension arm 12 is provided with a through hole 121, and the second extension arm 13 is provided with a perforation 131. The second extension arm 13 is disposed around the first extension arm 12, and there is a certain gap between the second extension arm 13 and the first extension arm 12 to facilitate the connection of the cover plate 10 to the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 of different sizes, so that the carrying device 100 can carry the first workpiece 2000 of the first size and the second workpiece 3000 of the second size, saving costs to a certain extent. In one embodiment, the body 11, the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 are an integral structure, with a simple structure, which can prevent any one or more of the body 11, the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 from falling off. In another embodiment, the body 11, the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 are a split structure, and the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 can be connected to the body 11 by detachable connection methods such as screws, buckles, hinges, etc., facilitating the replacement of any one or more of the body 11, the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13. The first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 can be connected to the body 11 by fixed connection methods such as welding and fusion welding, which can prevent any one or more of the body 11, the first extension arm 12 and the second extension arm 13 from falling off.
[0048] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first size can be 8 inches, and the second size can be 12 inches. In other embodiments, the cover plate 10 is not limited to only providing an extension arm group formed by a plurality of first extension arms 12 and an extension arm group formed by a plurality of second extension arms 13. It can also be provided with more groups of extension arms corresponding to connect a plurality of brackets to adapt to the sizes of different workpieces. The first size is not limited to 8 inches. For example, it can also be 7 inches, 6 inches, 5 inches, 4 inches, 3 inches, 2 inches, etc. The second size is not limited to 12 inches, and can also be 17 inches, 16 inches, 15 inches, 14 inches, 13 inches, 11 inches, etc., as long as the second size is greater than the first size.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9, the first bracket 20 may include a hollow first support portion 21, a second support portion 22, and a plurality of first receiving portions 23 arranged at intervals. The first support portion 21 is connected to the first extension arm 12. The second support portion 22 is provided with a first cavity 221. The second support portion 22 is located within the first support portion 21. The gap 24 between the second support portion 22 and the first support portion 21 corresponds to the third region 2002 of the first workpiece 2000. The first receiving portions 23 are located between the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22 and are used to connect the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22. The second region 2003 of the first workpiece 2000 is carried on the first support portion 21 and / or the first receiving portions 23.
[0050] The first support portion 21 has a hollow structure, which can reduce the overall weight of the first bracket 20 and effectively save the use of materials, thereby saving costs to a certain extent. In this embodiment, the first support portion 21 is provided with a first notch 212. The manipulator can place the first workpiece 2000 on the first bracket 20 through the first notch 212. The first notch 212 plays a role of avoiding and protecting the first workpiece 2000. At the same time, the setting of the first notch 212 can further save the use of materials and save more costs. In another embodiment, the first support portion 21 may be in a closed ring shape. At this time, the manipulator can place the first workpiece 2000 on the first bracket 20 through the receiving space 35.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the first bracket 20 and the cover plate 10 are of a split structure. Specifically, the first support portion 21 is provided with a through hole 211. The through hole 211 of the first support portion 21 corresponds to the through hole 121 of the first extension arm 12. Screws sequentially pass through the through hole 211 of the first support portion 21 and the through hole 121 of the first extension arm 12 to fixedly connect the first bracket 20 to the first side 111 of the cover plate 10. In another embodiment, the first bracket 20 can be connected to the cover plate 10 by detachable connection methods such as buckles and hinges. The detachable connection method facilitates detaching the first bracket 20 from the first side 111 of the cover plate 1,0 thereby facilitating the replacement of the first bracket 20. In yet another embodiment, the first bracket 20 can be connected to the cover plate 10 by fixed connection methods such as welding and fusion welding. The fixed connection between the first bracket 20 and the cover plate 10 can prevent the first bracket 20 from detaching from the cover plate 10 during use. In other embodiments, the first bracket 20 and the cover plate 10 can also be of an integral structure, which is simple in structure and can prevent the first bracket 20 from falling off the cover plate 10.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 9, multiple first receiving portions 23 are spaced apart from each other and are all disposed between the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22, which serves to connect the first support 21 and the second support portion 22, can further reduce the overall weight of the first bracket 20, and can further reduce the use of materials for the first bracket 20, saving costs. Please refer to Figure 11 , in one embodiment, when the first workpiece 2000 is formed by the adhesive film frame, the adhesive film and the wafer as described above, the first region 2001 can be exposed from the first cavity 221, and the adhesive film at the third region 2002 can be exposed from the gap 24 between the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22. If the front side of the first workpiece 2000 faces the cover plate 10, that is, the wafer faces the cover plate 10, it is convenient for the processing device 400 of the semiconductor processing device 1000 to detect whether there are void bubbles, foreign particles between the wafer and the adhesive film, and whether there are wrinkles in the adhesive film and other bonding quality problems from the first cavity 221. The gap 24 can facilitate the processing device 400 of the semiconductor processing device 1000 to detect whether there are quality problems on the back side of the adhesive film corresponding to the third region 2002; if the back side of the first workpiece 2000 faces the cover plate 10, that is, the wafer faces away from the cover plate 10, it is convenient for the processing device 400 to detect the defects of the wafer from the first cavity 221, and the gap 24 can facilitate the processing device 400 to detect whether there are quality problems on the front side of the adhesive film corresponding to the third region 2002. The gap 24 and the first cavity 221 are jointly used to facilitate the processing device 400 to detect the concentricity between the wafer and the adhesive film and the concentricity between the wafer and the adhesive film frame.
[0053] Further, the first receiving portion 23 may be provided with a first air groove and a first air path, and the first air path is connected to the first air groove. An external air extraction device extracts air through the first air path to flatly adsorb the adhesive film on the third region 2002 of the first workpiece 2000 on the first receiving portion 23, which serves to fix the adhesive film and ensure the stability of the wafer. In this embodiment, the first receiving portion 23, the first support portion 21, and the second support portion 22 are of an integral structure, with a simple structure, which can prevent any one or more of the first support portion 21, the second support portion 22, and the first receiving portion 23 from falling off. In other embodiments, the first receiving portion 23 and the first support portion 21, the second support portion 22 are of a split structure, and the first receiving portion 23 can be connected to the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22 by detachable connection methods such as screws, buckles, hinges, etc., which is convenient for replacing any one or more of the first support portion 21, the second support portion 22, and the first receiving portion 23. The first receiving portion 23 can also be connected to the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22 by fixed connection methods such as welding and fusion welding, preventing any one or more of the first support portion 21, the second support portion 22, and the first receiving portion 23 from falling off.
