[0030] Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the description of this invention, directional and ordinal terms are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic film peeling mechanism for wafer lamination proposed in this case includes a film peeling arm 1, a film peeling table 2, and a film placement and heating assembly 3. The film peeling arm 1 is located on one side of the film peeling table 2, and the film peeling arm 1 and the film peeling table 2 are arranged adjacent to each other and parallel to each other. The film placement and heating assembly 3 is installed directly above the film peeling table 2.

[0034] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the film-tearing arm 1 includes a linear module 11, a cylinder 13, a clamping cylinder 15, and a nozzle 16. The linear module 11 is provided with a sliding block. The cylinder 13 is movably connected to the sliding block through a cylinder fixing plate 12. An arm plate 14 is installed on the slide of the cylinder 13. A lower clamping block 19 is fixed on the arm plate 14. A clamping cylinder 15 is fixedly installed between the arm plate 14 and the lower clamping block 19. The extended end of the clamping cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the upper clamping block 17. The nozzle 16 is connected to the nozzle fixing block 18 through a set screw. Blowing air through the nozzle 16 can prevent the tape from sticking to the clamping position of the film-tearing arm 1, ensuring that the waste film falls into the waste recycling area. The nozzle fixing block 18 is then connected and fixed to the arm plate 14.

[0035] Secondly, the film-tearing table 2 includes a rotating table 22 and a two-stage telescopic mechanism 24. The rotating table 22 is fixed on the base 21, and the two-stage telescopic mechanism 24 is installed at the bottom of the rotating table 22. The two-stage telescopic mechanism 24 is provided with a lifting support plate 23.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the base 21 includes a base plate 211 and a lead screw 212. The lead screw 212 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the U-shaped base plate 211, and the suction plate 224 is moved by the lead screw 212.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the rotary table 22 is equipped with two sets of guide rails 221, a rotary motor 222, and an adsorption plate 224. The two sets of guide rails 221 are respectively installed on the upper surfaces of the two sides of the bottom of the rotary table 22, and both sets of guide rails 221 are connected to the base plate of the rotary table 22. The rotary motor 222 is fastened to the bottom of the rotary table 22 by a screw nut. The adsorption plate 224 is fixed to the upper surface of the rotary table 22, and a heating element 223 is attached to the back of the adsorption plate 224 to ensure that the surface of the adsorption plate 224 maintains a constant temperature. The rotary motor 222 can be used to drive the adsorption plate 224 to rotate at a certain angle. The purpose is to peel off the film from the diagonal direction of a single wafer, which makes it easier to peel off and reduces the risk of tearing a single wafer.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, the lifting pallet 23 includes a pallet 231 and a buffer cylinder 232. The pallet 231 is fixedly installed on the slide of the buffer cylinder 232. The pallet 231 can be raised by the buffer cylinder 232. The surface of the pallet 231 is coated with an anti-stick coating to prevent the torn film from sticking to the wafer again.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, the two-stage telescopic mechanism 24 includes a first-stage cylinder 241 and a second-stage cylinder 243. The first-stage cylinder 241 and the second-stage cylinder 243 are respectively installed at the bottom of the rotary table 22. A first fixed plate 242 is installed on the slider of the first-stage cylinder 241, and the second-stage cylinder 243 is fixedly installed with the second fixed plate 244 through its own extension rod.

[0040] Finally, as Figures 8-10As shown, the film feeding and heating assembly 3 includes a diaphragm clamping cylinder 34, a first lifting cylinder 35, a second lifting cylinder 312, a heating block lifting cylinder 317, and a film cutting cylinder 319. The first lifting cylinder 35 and the second lifting cylinder 312 are sequentially mounted on a fixed base plate 31. The extension rod of the first lifting cylinder 35 is fixedly connected to the first lifting base plate 310. A film feeding motor 32 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the first lifting base plate 310. The diaphragm clamping cylinder 34 is installed adjacent to the film feeding motor 32 and is fixed to the first lifting base plate 310 via a film feeding roller 33. A second support plate cylinder 38, a first support plate cylinder 37, a film guide block 36, and a film pressing cylinder 39 are sequentially mounted on the lower surface of the first lifting base plate 310. The first support plate cylinder 37 is connected to the first support plate cylinder 310. The first pallet 313 is connected to the second pallet 315. The first pallet 313 is extended by the retraction of the first pallet cylinder 37. The second pallet 315 is connected to the second pallet cylinder 38. The second pallet cylinder 38 is extended by the push-up operation, which extends the second pallet 315. The second pallet 315 is provided with a film pressing block 314 on its lower side. The exposed roll of adhesive tape can be supported by the second pallet 315 to ensure that the tape does not sag. The extended end of the second lifting cylinder 312 is fixedly installed on the second lifting base plate 311. The heating block lifting cylinder 317 is installed on the second lifting base plate 311 through the L-shaped third fixing plate 316. The extended end of the heating block lifting cylinder 317 is provided with a heating block 318. The film cutting cylinder 319 is installed on the third fixing plate 316. The extended end of the film cutting cylinder 319 is provided with a film cutting knife 320.

[0041] In practical applications, on the one hand, the heating element 223 is energized for preheating, the roll of adhesive tape is fixedly sleeved on the film-laying roller 33, and the diaphragm clamping cylinder 34 is energized to further clamp the roll of adhesive tape, pulling the tape out a section and passing it through the guide block 36, then under the pressure cylinder 39, so that a portion of the tape protrudes outside the pressure block 314. When the pressure cylinder 39 is energized to press the tape, the control plate cylinder 38 is pushed forward, driving the second plate 315 to extend and pass through the groove of the pressure block 314. At the same time, the film-laying motor 32 is energized to perform film-laying. Belt drive ensures the roll of adhesive tape remains taut. The wafer with adhesive backing is placed on the suction tray 224, with the adhesive side facing upwards, for wafer heating. A rotary motor 222 drives the suction tray 224 to rotate, facilitating film removal. Simultaneously, a lead screw 212 drives the suction tray 224 along the guide rails 221 to stop directly below the film-laying and heating assembly 3. At this time, the film-removing arm 1 moves synchronously, controlling the lifting cylinder 35 to lower the lifting base plate 310. When the second pallet cylinder 38, the first pallet cylinder 37, the guide block 36, and the pressure cylinder 39 installed on the 0 all move to the lower position, the film-tearing arm 1 moves to the left, causing the lower clamping block 19 to push the second pallet 315 to also move to the left, allowing the tape to smoothly enter the clamping opening of the film-tearing arm 1. By pressing down and clamping the tape with the clamping cylinder 15, and simultaneously activating the pressure cylinder 39 to release the tape, the film-tearing arm 1 can then move to the right while holding the tape, thereby pulling out the tape and stopping it at the designated position. In addition, the second lifting cylinder 312 drives the second lifting arm 315 to move to the right while holding the tape with the film-tearing arm 1. The base plate 311 and the heating block lifting cylinder 317 installed on it descend together, causing the heating block lifting cylinder 317 to drive the heating block 318 to descend synchronously. While the heating block 318 presses the tape tightly, it heats the back adhesive of the wafer. After the tape and the back adhesive are heated and bonded, the tape is cut by the cutting cylinder 319 driving the cutting knife 320. The tearing arm 1 holds the tape and slowly moves to the left to tear the film. After it is completely torn off, the clamping cylinder 15 is released, and the cylinder 232 descends to lower and hide the support plate 231, completing the operation.

[0042] In summary, this invention features a unique and compact design, enabling automated film removal from wafer surfaces and seamless integration into automated wafer processing lines, thereby improving operational efficiency.
