[0073] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the invention and are not used to limit the invention.

[0074] Figure 2 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of an electrostatic chuck installation and removal tool according to an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed, such as Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes an electrostatic chuck installation and removal tool, which includes an electrostatic chuck (ESC) component pick-up and placement tool 3 and an electrostatic chuck component placement table 4:

[0075] The electrostatic chuck assembly pick-up and placement tool 3 is used to be fastened to the electrostatic chuck assembly 1;

[0076] Several guide shafts, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the cavity, and the electrostatic chuck assembly pick-up and placement tooling and the electrostatic chuck assembly enter or take out of the cavity along the guide shafts;

[0077] Several fasteners are used to fasten the electrostatic chuck assembly pick-and-place tooling to the electrostatic chuck assembly and to fasten the electrostatic chuck assembly to the cavity.

[0078] Figure 3a A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a guide shaft according to an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed, as shown in FIG. Figure 3a As shown, the number of guide shafts 2 is at least 6, which are arranged parallel to each other.

[0079] One end of each guide shaft 2 is provided with a thread, which matches with the threaded hole 62 inside the cavity 6 and can be connected.

[0080] Obviously, since the function of the guide shaft 2 is to provide guidance, there is no limit on the number of guide shafts 2, and the number can be 1, 2, 3 or even more.

[0081] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 3a The number of guide shafts 2 shown is 6, which is consistent with the number of threaded holes 62 inside the cavity 6.

[0082] Figure 3b A three-dimensional schematic diagram of an electrostatic chuck assembly pick-and-place tooling according to an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed, such as Figure 3b The electrostatic chuck assembly pick-and-place tool 3 shown includes a tool plate 31 , a tool screw 32 and a handle 33 .

[0083] The tooling screws 32 , which are 4 in number, are installed at the four corners of the edge of the tooling plate 31 and are used to fasten the electrostatic chuck assembly pick-and-place tooling 3 to the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 .

[0084] The tooling plate 31 is in a quadrilateral shape with four rounded corners;

[0085] The tooling plate 31 has a circular through hole in the middle.

[0086] The handle 33 provides an operating point for the electrostatic chuck assembly pick-up and placement tool 3 when taking out or putting in.

[0087] Obviously, there is no special requirement for the number of handles 33 , but for ease of operation, preferably, the number of handles 33 is 2 or 4, which are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the tooling tray 31 .

[0088] When the number of the handles 33 is two, the two handles 33 are relatively distributed on two sides of the surface of the tooling tray 31;

[0089] When the number of the handles 33 is four, the four handles 33 are relatively distributed on four sides of the surface of the tooling tray 31 .

[0090] Obviously, there is no special restriction on the shape of the handle 33, and it can be semicircular or semirectangular, etc.

[0091] The bottom surface of the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 has cables (including water pipes and optical fibers), which cannot be placed on a flat surface after being taken out, otherwise the water pipes and optical fibers will be crushed. The electrostatic chuck installation and removal tool proposed by the present invention also includes an electrostatic chuck assembly placement table 4 for placing the disassembled electrostatic chuck assembly 1.

[0092] Figure 3c A three-dimensional schematic diagram of an electrostatic chuck assembly placement platform according to an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed, as shown in FIG. Figure 3c The electrostatic chuck assembly placement platform 4 shown includes a bottom base 41 and an upper base 42 .

[0093] The upper base 42 is used to directly support the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 .

[0094] The bottom base 41 and the upper base 42 are cylindrical in shape to match the shape of the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 .

[0095] When the shape of the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 changes, the shapes of the bottom base 41 and the upper base 42 also need to be adaptively changed.

[0096] As another embodiment, the bottom base 41 may have a different shape from the upper base 42 , and the shape of the upper base 42 matches the shape of the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 .

[0097] like Figure 3c As shown, a through hole 422 is formed on the side wall of the upper base 42, and the through hole 422 is used to pass the cable of the electrostatic chuck assembly 1. The shape of the through hole 422 matches the shape of the cable of the electrostatic chuck assembly 1.

[0098] A groove 421 is formed at the top of the side wall of the upper base 42 to match the shape of the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 .

[0099] In this embodiment, the material of the upper base 42 and / or the bottom base 41 is PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) material.

[0100] Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a polymer made from tetrafluoroethylene as a monomer. It is white, waxy, translucent, heat-resistant and cold-resistant. It can be used for a long time at -180 to 260°C. It is resistant to acids, alkalis, and various organic solvents.

Figure 5a and Figure 5b As shown, the tooling screw 32 of the electrostatic chuck assembly pick-up and placement tooling 3 is fastened and connected to the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 at the bottom;

[0109] After the fixing screw 5 passes through the tooling plate 31 of the electrostatic chuck assembly pick-up and placement tooling 3, it is fixed with the tooling screw 32, thereby achieving the fixation of the electrostatic chuck assembly pick-up and placement tooling 3 and the electrostatic chuck assembly 1.

[0110] Step S3 , the electrostatic chuck assembly pick-up and placement tool 3 and the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 fall along the guide shaft 2 and are placed on the bottom surface of the cavity 6 .

Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, the guide shaft 2 is taken out from the threaded hole 62 inside the cavity 6.

[0114] The tooling screw 32 is unscrewed from the bottom and the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 , and the electrostatic chuck assembly pick-and-place tooling 3 is removed from the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 .

[0115] The fixing screw 5 is passed through the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 and fixed to the threaded hole 62 inside the cavity 6, thereby finally fixing the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 to the cavity 6.

[0116] Based on the same principle, the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 can be disassembled using the electrostatic chuck installation and disassembly tool of the present invention, and the steps include:

[0117] Unfix the electrostatic chuck assembly 1 and the cavity 6;
