Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a wafer picking device, in particular to a clamping type wafer picking device for polishing. Background Art
[0002] A wafer refers to a silicon wafer used to make silicon semiconductor circuits. Its raw material is silicon. High-purity polycrystalline silicon is dissolved and doped with silicon crystal seeds, and then slowly pulled out to form a cylindrical single crystal silicon. After the silicon crystal rod is ground, polished, and sliced, it forms a silicon wafer, also known as a wafer. Before grinding the single crystal silicon wafer, it needs to be etched. In order to ensure uniform etching effect on both sides of the single crystal silicon wafer, the single crystal silicon wafer is placed vertically. Therefore, a device that can pick up the single crystal silicon wafer and place it on the grinding table is required. However, the current common picking device has a very simple function. It cannot position the single crystal silicon wafer during grinding. After the single crystal silicon wafer is polished, it cannot clean the surface particles and polishing fluid of the single crystal silicon wafer. Therefore, a single crystal silicon wafer positioning device needs to be installed when grinding the single crystal silicon wafer. After the single crystal silicon wafer is polished, a single crystal silicon wafer cleaning device needs to be added, which increases a lot of production costs and processes and reduces production efficiency.

Example 1
[0031] See also Figures 1-8 As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a clamping type wafer polishing picking device, including a fixing device 1 and a clamping device 2 arranged at the bottom of the fixing device 1, the fixing device 1 includes a fixing mechanism 11, the fixing mechanism 11 includes a fixing cylinder 111, the bottom of the fixing cylinder 111 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 112, the fixing cylinder 111 is used to drive the fixing frame 112 to move, and the fixing frame 112 is used to drive the wafer to move, the clamping device 2 includes a clamping mechanism 21, the clamping mechanism 21 includes a clamping rod 211, and the clamping rod 211 is used to cooperate with the fixing frame 112 to clamp and fix the wafer. A scraping mechanism 22 is provided on both sides of the clamping rod 211. The scraping mechanism 22 includes a scraping rod 221. One side of the scraping rod 221 is in contact with the wafer. The scraping rod 221 is hinged to one end of the clamping rod 211. A control structure is provided inside the fixed cylinder 111. When the clamping rod 211 slides, the control structure drives the clamping rod 211 to move. A synchronization structure is provided on one side of the scraping rod 221. When the clamping rod 211 slides, the synchronization structure drives the scraping rod 221 to slide on the surface of the wafer. When the clamping rod 211 slides to a position away from the wafer, the synchronization structure drives the scraping rod 221 to position the wafer.
[0032] A placement groove 113 is provided inside the fixing cylinder 111. One end of the placement groove 113 passes through the fixing cylinder 111. A hydraulic rod 118 is provided inside the placement groove 113. The placement groove 113 is used to place the hydraulic rod 118. The piston rod of the hydraulic rod 118 is fixedly connected to one end of the clamping rod 211.
[0033] A sliding frame 117 is fixedly connected to one side of the hydraulic rod 118. The sliding frame 117 is used to determine the movement trajectory of the hydraulic rod 118. A placement groove 114 is opened inside the placement groove 113. The placement groove 114 is used to determine the movement trajectory of the sliding frame 117. The sliding frame 117 is slidably arranged inside the placement groove 114.
[0034] When taking the vertically placed wafer, the hydraulic rod 118 drives the clamping rod 211 to slide downward. When the clamping rod 211 slides, it is affected by the control structure to move in the direction away from the fixed cylinder 111. The clamping rod 211 drives the scraping rod 221 to slide downward. When the clamping rod 211 moves to the bottom position, it is affected by the control structure to drive the scraping rod 221 to press the wafer tightly against one side of the fixed frame 112. In the process of the clamping rod 211 moving downward, one side of the scraping rod 221 and the surface of the wafer are always kept in contact. When the clamping rod 211 is away from the fixed cylinder 111, the placement groove 114 and the sliding frame 117 cooperate to make the hydraulic rod 118 and the clamping rod 211 slide synchronously, thereby achieving the effect of clamping the wafer.
[0035] The control structure includes a control mechanism 12, which includes a wedge block 121. A sliding groove 116 is formed on one side of a fixed cylinder 111. One end of the sliding groove 116 passes through the fixed cylinder 111. The sliding groove 116 is used to determine the movement trajectory of the wedge block 121. The wedge block 121 is slidably arranged inside the sliding groove 116. One end of the wedge block 121 is fixedly connected to a control spring 122. The control spring 122 is used to provide a thrust to the wedge block 121. One end of the control spring 122 is fixedly connected to the fixed cylinder 111.
[0036] A rotating frame 123 is provided on one side of the wedge block 121. A rotating groove 115 is provided inside the fixed cylinder 111. The rotating groove 115 is used to accommodate the rotating frame 123 for rotation. The rotating frame 123 is rotatably arranged inside the rotating groove 115. A sliding block 127 is hingedly connected to one end of the rotating frame 123. The sliding block 127 is used to drive the rotating frame 123 to rotate. The sliding block 127 is slidably connected to the wedge block 121, and the wedge block 121 is used to drive the sliding block 127 to slide.
[0037] The other end of the rotating frame 123 is hinged to a control frame 124, one end of which is slidably connected to a telescopic rod 125. The control frame 124 is used to drive the telescopic rod 125 to slide. One end of the telescopic rod 125 passes through the fixed cylinder 111. One end of the telescopic rod 125 is fixedly connected to a positioning sleeve 126. The telescopic rod 125 is used to drive the positioning sleeve 126 to move. The clamping rod 211 and the positioning sleeve 126 are plugged together.
[0038] One end of the clamping rod 211 is provided with an inclined surface 213, which is used to push the wedge block 121 to move. Before the clamping rod 211 clamps and fixes the wafer, the inclined surface 213 and one end of the wedge block 121 are in contact. A clamping groove 212 is provided near the middle of the other end of the clamping rod 211. When the clamping rod 211 clamps and fixes the wafer, the clamping groove 212 prevents the wedge block 121 from being compressed. In order to enable the inclined surface 213 and the clamping groove 212 to drive the wedge block 121 to slide when the clamping rod 211 slides, the wedge block 121 is set to be wedge-shaped;
[0039] Before taking the wafer, the control spring 122 pushes the wedge block 121 so that one end of the wedge block 121 is in contact with the inclined surface 213. At this time, the telescopic rod 125 is retracted inside the fixed cylinder 111.
[0040] When the wafer is clamped and fixed, the hydraulic rod 118 drives the clamping rod 211 to slide downward, and the inclined surface 213 also gradually moves downward. The wedge block 121 fits one side of the clamping rod 211, and the clamping rod 211 makes the wedge block 121 overcome the elastic force of the control spring 122 and slide toward the inside of the sliding groove 116. When sliding, the wedge block 121 cooperates with the sliding block 127 to drive the rotating frame 123 to rotate, and the rotating frame 123 drives the control frame 124 to move. The control frame 124 drives the telescopic rod 125 to move toward the outside of the fixed cylinder 111, and the telescopic rod 125 drives the positioning sleeve 1 26 slides, and the positioning sleeve 126 drives the clamping rod 211 to slide in the direction away from the fixed cylinder 111. When the clamping rod 211 moves to the bottom position, the wedge block 121 is in the position of the clamping groove 212. The wedge block 121 is no longer subjected to the pressure force at this time. The control spring 122 provides a thrust to the wedge block 121, and then through the cooperation of the rotating frame 123, the sliding block 127, the control frame 124 and the telescopic rod 125, the positioning sleeve 126 is subjected to a pulling force, so that the clamping rod 211 and the scraping rod 221 are tightly attached to one side of the wafer, completing the clamping and fixation of the wafer.
[0041] The synchronization structure includes a sleeve rod 222, one end of which engages with the positioning sleeve 126 and is hinged, and the other end of the sleeve rod 222 is plugged with an insertion rod 223. The sleeve rod 222 is used to drive the insertion rod 223 to rotate. One end of the insertion rod 223 is hinged to one end of the scraping rod 221, and the other end of the insertion rod 223 is fixedly connected to a thrust spring 224. The thrust spring 224 is used to give the insertion rod 223 a thrust, and one end of the thrust spring 224 is fixedly connected to the sleeve rod 222;
[0042] When taking a wafer placed vertically, the clamping rod 211 drives the sleeve rod 222 to move downward, and the scraping rod 221 drives the sleeve rod 222 to rotate through the insertion rod 223. At the same time, the scraping rod 221 drives the insertion rod 223 to slide inside the sleeve rod 222. When the clamping rod 211 moves to the bottom position, the scraping rod 221 cooperates with the clamping rod 211 to press the wafer firmly on the fixing frame 112. The scraping rod 221 increases the contact area with the wafer, thereby improving the effect of clamping and fixing the wafer. At the same time, in the process of the scraping rod 221 moving downward, larger particles on one side of the wafer are cleaned off;
[0043] When placing the wafer on the polishing table, the clamping rod 211 and the fixing cylinder 111 are rotated to a horizontal state, and the wafer is placed on the polishing table. Figure 9 When the end of the clamping rod 211 is in contact with the fixed cylinder 111, the scraping rod 221 is moved and the sliding of the scraping rod 221 is carried out, thereby preventing the wafer from sliding during polishing.
[0044] When the wafer polishing is completed, the clamping rod 211 and the scraping rod 221 re-clamp and fix the wafer. During the clamping and fixing process, the scraping rod 221 scrapes the surface of the wafer to preliminarily clean the particles and polishing liquid on the surface of the wafer to avoid inconsistent horizontal height or damage to the wafer when the other side is polished later.
