[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment: a horizontally arranged support plate 19 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the electroplating tank 12. The provided support plate 19 is used to install the mounting seat 21 in the electroplating component 2. The bottom of the partition plate 14 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the support plate 19, and a plurality of through holes are evenly opened near the bottom of the partition plate 14.

[0050] Specifically, to achieve the specific functions of the electroplating component 2, in this embodiment: The electroplating component 2 includes a mounting seat 21, a cylindrical tank 22, an annular retaining ring 26, a cathode 23, and an anode 25. The mounting seat 21 is fixedly installed on the support plate 19. The cylindrical tank 22 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the mounting seat 21, and a connection hole 24 is formed in the side wall of the cylindrical tank 22. The annular retaining ring 26 is installed at the upper part of the notch of the cylindrical tank 22 through an adjusting bolt 27, and the annular retaining ring 26 is used to fix the wafer 4 at the notch of the cylindrical tank 22. The cathode 23 is arranged on the outer periphery of the cylindrical tank 22, and the bottom end of the cathode 23 extends into the inner bottom of the cylindrical tank 22. The anode 25 is fixedly installed on the annular retaining ring 26.

[0051] Among them, the annular retaining ring 26 is installed by using the adjusting bolt 27, so that the annular retaining ring 26 is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and thus the loading and unloading of the wafer 4 is relatively convenient. The cathode 23 is used to connect the negative pole of the DC power supply, and the anode 25 is used to connect the positive pole of the DC power supply, so that the metal in the electroplating solution can be electroplated onto the surface of the wafer 4.

[0052] Specifically, to improve the electroplating quality, in this embodiment: The electroplating component 2 further includes a metal mesh 28. The metal mesh 28 is arranged inside the cylindrical tank 22, and the metal mesh 28 is arranged at the bottom end of the cathode 23 through a screw 29. At least three cathodes 23 and anodes 25 are respectively provided. The metal mesh 28 cooperates with three cathodes 23 and three anodes 25 to make the current distribution between the cathodes 23 and the anodes 25 relatively uniform, thereby improving the electroplating quality.

[0053] Specifically, in order to implement the specific functions of the electroplating solution jet stirring mechanism 3, in this embodiment: The electroplating solution jet stirring mechanism 3 mainly consists of a reduction motor 34, a transmission rod 36, bevel gears 37, an annular rail 35, an annular toothed rail 38, a hollow connecting rod 31, a jet pipe 32, and two nozzles 33. The reduction motor 34 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the electroplating tank body 11. The transmission rod 36 is sealed and rotatably installed on the side wall of the cylindrical tank body 22, and one end of the transmission rod 36 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 34. The bevel gear 37 is fixedly installed at the other end of the transmission rod 36, and the bevel gear 37 is located inside the cylindrical tank body 22. The annular rail 35 is sealed and rotatably installed on the inner side wall of the cylindrical tank body 22, and an annular flow channel 39 is provided on the outer ring surface of the annular rail 35. The annular flow channel 39 is communicated with the connection hole 24. The annular toothed rail 38 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the annular rail 35, and the teeth on the annular toothed rail 38 mesh with the bevel gear 37. The hollow connecting rod 31 is fixedly installed on the inner ring surface of the annular rail 35, and the inside of the hollow connecting rod 31 is communicated with the annular flow channel 39. The jet pipe 32 is rotatably installed on the hollow connecting rod 31 through a hollow rotating shaft, and the jet pipe 32 is horizontally arranged. Both nozzles 33 are fixedly installed on the upper part of the jet pipe 32. Both nozzles 33 are sequentially communicated with the annular flow channel 39 through the jet pipe 32, the hollow rotating shaft, and the hollow connecting rod 31.

[0054] Among them, the working principle of the electroplating solution jet stirring mechanism 3 is as follows: The electroplating solution is added into the inside of the annular flow channel 39 through the connection hole 24. The electroplating solution is sprayed onto the lower surface of the wafer 4 through the two nozzles 33. At the same time, the reduction motor 34 drives the transmission rod 36 to rotate. The transmission rod 36 drives the bevel gear 37 to rotate. The bevel gear 37 drives the annular toothed rail 38 to rotate. The annular toothed rail 38 drives the annular rail 35 to rotate. The annular rail 35 drives the two nozzles 33 to revolve around the inner side wall of the cylindrical tank body 22. At the same time, when the electroplating solution sprayed by the two nozzles 33 impacts the lower surface of the wafer 4, a reaction force is applied to the two nozzles 33. Since the jet pipe 32 is rotatably installed on the hollow connecting rod 31 through a hollow rotating shaft, at this time, under the action of the reaction force, the two nozzles 33 generate self-rotation, so as to realize the revolution and self-rotation of the two nozzles 33 around the inner side wall of the cylindrical tank body 22 at the same time, so that the electroplating solution sprayed by the two nozzles 33 can completely cover the lower surface of the entire wafer 4, and further enable a uniform electroplating layer to be formed on the lower surface of the wafer 4, thereby improving the electroplating quality.

[0055] Specifically, in order to enable the electroplating solution to be sprayed into the fine circuits on the lower surface of the wafer 4 and to eject the tiny bubbles in the gaps, so as to avoid uneven electroplating caused by invisible bubbles to the naked eye, in this embodiment: the two nozzles 33 are arranged staggeredly, and the included angle between the central axes of the two nozzles 33 is 35-45°, the included angles between the central axes of the two nozzles 33 and the lower surface of the wafer 4 are equal, the distances between the two nozzles 33 and the lower surface of the wafer 4 are equal, and the distance between the two nozzles 33 and the lower surface of the wafer 4 is 18-19 mm, the working pressures of the two nozzles 33 are equal, and the working pressure of the two nozzles 33 is 8-12 Pa.

[0056] Specifically, in order to enable the device to work continuously, in this embodiment: a liquid return port 40 is embedded at the central position of the mounting seat 21, the upper end of the liquid return port 40 is communicated with the inner bottom of the cylindrical tank 22, and the bottom end of the liquid return port 40 is communicated with the collection port 18 on the side of the bottom of the electroplating solution return tank 13 through a pipeline. The liquid return port 40 is used for the electroplating solution inside the cylindrical tank 22 to flow back into the electroplating solution return tank 13, which can prevent the inside of the cylindrical tank 22 from being filled with electroplating solution and causing compressive damage to the wafer 4, so that the device can work continuously.

[0057] Specifically, in order to enable the device to work normally, in this embodiment: a filter pipe 16 and a liquid addition port 17 are embedded on the bottom wall of the electroplating solution return tank 13. The part of the filter pipe 16 located inside the electroplating solution return tank 13 has filter holes, and the bottom end of the filter pipe 16 is communicated with the connection hole 24 through an infusion pipe. A pressure pump for pumping the electroplating solution inside the electroplating solution return tank 13 into the connection hole 24 is installed on the infusion pipe. The liquid addition port 17 is used to supplement the electroplating solution into the electroplating solution return tank 13 through a liquid addition pump.

[0058] In summary, the electroplating tank jetting device provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0059] The electroplating tank jetting device mainly consists of a main body structure 1, an electroplating component 2, and an electroplating solution jetting and stirring mechanism 3. Among them, the electroplating solution jetting and stirring mechanism 3 has the functions of rotary stirring and jetting. It can spray the electroplating solution into fine circuits that cannot be reached by general immersion and surge electroplating methods, and can also eject the tiny bubbles in the gaps, avoiding uneven electroplating caused by invisible bubbles to the naked eye, improving the product yield, and further enhancing the product performance, making it possible to manufacture finer gold wire circuits.

[0060] In use, connect the cathode 23 to the negative pole of the DC power supply and the anode 25 to the positive pole of the DC power supply. Fix the wafer 4 at the notch of the cylindrical groove body 22 by using the adjusting bolt 27 in cooperation with the annular pressing ring 26, and then power on. First, start the reduction motor 34 to drive the transmission rod 36 to rotate. The transmission rod 36 drives the bevel gear 37 to rotate, the bevel gear 37 drives the annular tooth rail 38 to rotate, the annular tooth rail 38 drives the annular rail 35 to rotate, and the annular rail 35 drives the two nozzles 33 to revolve around the inner side wall of the cylindrical groove body 22. Then start the pressure pump. The pressure pump pumps the electroplating solution inside the electroplating solution return tank 13 into the connection hole 24. The electroplating solution is ejected through the two nozzles 33. When the electroplating solution ejected from the two nozzles 33 impacts the lower surface of the wafer 4, a reaction force is applied to the two nozzles 33. Under the action of the reaction force, the two nozzles 33 rotate self - clockwise, so as to realize the revolution of the two nozzles 33 around the inner side wall of the cylindrical groove body 22 while rotating self - clockwise, so that the electroplating solution ejected from the two nozzles 33 can completely cover the lower surface of the whole wafer 4, and then a uniform electroplating layer can be formed on the lower surface of the wafer 4, thereby improving the electroplating quality.

[0061] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the implementation manners and protection scope of the present invention accordingly. For those skilled in the art, it should be realized that all the equivalent replacements and obvious changes made by using the description and illustration content of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
