Description

[0003] In the wafer process, the cleanliness of the environment is very high. In the process of batch or single wafer handling, the dust generated by slight wear of the handling mechanism or the tiny impurities existing in the air of the production area can become a pollutant that causes the wafer surface to be contaminated and scrapped. Therefore, dust removal is required during wafer handling to avoid the problem of particles such as dust and air impurities adhering to the wafer surface. Since the stations of the two processes before and after the wafer conveying are often not in the same straight line, the handling mechanism needs to drive the wafer to rotate through a certain angle, and then drive the wafer to translate, or place the wafer into the next device by the self-provided mechanical hand of the device.

In the process of driving the wafer to rotate by the bracket 1, the wafer is within the coverage range of the two dust removal bins 12, so as to effectively avoid the external air from contacting the wafer and causing the particulate pollutants to adhere to the surface of the wafer due to the turbulence of the external air caused by the rotation of the bracket 1, and effectively avoid the problem of scrapping caused by the existence of the particulate pollutants on the surface of the wafer.

[0033] Referring to Figures 1 to 8As shown, in the present embodiment, the circulating dust removal type wafer moving device (hereinafter referred to as wafer moving device) comprises a base 3 and a support 1 for mounting a conveying device 2, a wafer is placed at the conveying device 2, the support 1 is rotatably connected with the base 3 through a bottom plate 11, two dust removal bins 12 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the height direction of the support 1, the conveying device 2 is arranged between the two dust removal bins 12, and the conveying device 2 drives the wafer to displace along the height direction of the support 1; the support 1 comprises the bottom plate 11 and a top plate 13, the top ends and the bottom ends of the two dust removal bins 12 are respectively fixed with the top plate 13 and the bottom plate 12, a plurality of first dust removal fans 121 are respectively arranged on the side close to the conveying device 2 of the two dust removal bins 12, two dust removal openings 122 are symmetrically formed in the bottom plate 11, and the two dust removal openings 122 are respectively located in the two dust removal bins 12; the sides away from each other of the two dust removal bins 12 are provided with two arc-shaped plates 123 with the same radius, and the length of the conveying device 2 is less than the width of the arc-shaped plates 123.

[0034] Referring to Figures 1 to 4As shown, the base 3 comprises a mounting body 31, a first mounting portion 32 and a second mounting portion 33 formed on both sides of the mounting body 31, and the bottom plate 11 is connected to the midpoint of the mounting body 31 through a rotating motor 312, four fourth dust removal fans 311 are arranged around the rotating motor 312 of the mounting body 31, and the mounting body 31 is vertically fixed with the first mounting portion 32 and the second mounting portion 33. It should be noted that in the embodiment, the first mounting portion 32 and the second mounting portion 33 are respectively used for mounting a cold plate module (not shown) and a hot plate module (not shown) in a wafer process. In the embodiment, the base 3 and the support 1 are located between a glue coating and developing module (not shown) and a factory interface (not shown), and the lengthwise sides of the base 3 are adjacent to the glue coating and developing module (not shown) and the length interface (not shown). It should be noted that the support 1 and the conveying device 2 have no obstacles with the factory interface (not shown) and do not perform pick-and-place actions, and the support 1 and the conveying device 2 perform pick-and-place actions of wafers between the cold plate module (not shown), the glue coating and developing module (not shown), and the hot plate module (not shown). The base 3 is arranged in the mounting body 31 through the rotating motor 312, and the support 1 is located at the midpoint of the mounting body 31. The rotating motor 312 drives the rotation of the support 1 to change the orientation of the support 1, so that the support 1 drives the conveying device 2 connected thereto to rotate between the above-mentioned three stations, i.e., to transfer the wafer in the hot plate module (not shown) to the glue coating and developing module (not shown), and to take out the wafer after the glue coating and developing process of the wafer is completed and transfer the wafer to the cold plate module (not shown).

[0037] Referring to Figures 2 to 8As shown, the wafer supporting portions 21 and the translation conveyors 222 are both provided in two groups, the two groups of translation conveyors 222 are symmetrically distributed along the length direction of the mounting plate 221, and the two groups of wafer supporting portions 21 are connected to the two groups of translation conveyors 222 respectively through a connecting member 211, wherein the two groups of wafer supporting portions 21 are distributed in up and down and the axes coincide.

It should be noted that, since the two groups of translation conveyors 222 are driven by one motor (not labeled) respectively, the translation speeds of the two wafer supporting portions 21 can be inconsistent, and the axes can also not coincide.

[0038] It should be noted that during the process of placing the wafer on the wafer supporting part 21, two second dust removal fans 234 are started respectively, and the two second dust removal fans 234 can remove dust from the air around the wafer, that is, the air containing particulate impurities is sucked into the dustproof housing 24 through the gap 241 by the second dust removal fan, and the gas enters between the first connecting plate 231 and the second connecting plate 232 through the air vent 2211 provided on the mounting 221, and is discharged to the outside of the first connecting plate 231 and the second connecting plate 232 by the two second dust removal fans 234. During the process of starting the two second dust removal fans 234, the third dust removal fans 141 connected to the bottom of the mounting chamber 14 are started at the same time, and the air containing particulate impurities discharged by the second dust removal fan 234 from the inside of the first connecting plate 231 and the second connecting plate 232, and the air containing particulate impurities in the bracket 1 are simultaneously sucked into the mounting chamber 14 and finally discharged from the mounting chamber 14.

[0039] Referring to Figures 3 to 8As shown, the lifting assembly 4 comprises a driving mechanism 41 and a transmission mechanism 42. The driving mechanism 41 comprises a driving motor 411, a first driving wheel 412, a second driving wheel 413, a third driving wheel 414 and a fourth driving wheel 415. The first driving wheel 412 is coaxially fixed with a driving end of the driving motor 411. The first driving wheel 412 drives the second driving wheel 413 to rotate at the same speed through a first transmission belt 416. The second driving wheel 413 is coaxially fixed with the third driving wheel 414. The fourth driving wheel 415 is arranged directly above the third driving wheel 414. The fourth driving wheel 415 is connected with the third driving wheel 414 through a second transmission belt 417. The transmission mechanism 42 comprises a first lifting belt 421 and a second lifting belt 422 which are consistent with the length direction of the second transmission belt 417. The first lifting belt 421 and the second lifting belt 422 are arranged on the two sides of the second transmission belt 417 respectively. The second transmission belt 417 is fixedly connected with a transmission member 423. The transmission member 423 is fixed with a first connecting plate 231. The first connecting plate 231 and a second connecting plate 232 are connected with the first lifting belt 421 and the second lifting belt 422 respectively. The first lifting belt 421 and the second lifting belt 422 are arranged with a first sliding rail 424 and a second sliding rail 425 along the height direction of the support 1 on the sides away from each other. The first connecting plate 231 and the second connecting plate 232 are slidably connected with the first sliding rail 424 and the second sliding rail 425 through sliding blocks 426 respectively.

[0040] In particular Figures 3 to 5As shown, when the driving motor 411 is started, the first driving wheel 412 fixed coaxially with the driving motor 411 rotates and drives the second driving wheel 413 through the first transmission belt 416, and the third driving wheel 414 fixed coaxially with the second driving wheel 413 rotates and drives the fourth driving wheel 415 through the second transmission belt 417, and the second transmission belt 417 drives the transmission member 423 to ascend or descend. Since the transmission member 423 is fixed with the first connecting plate 231, and the first connecting plate 231 is fixed with the second connecting plate 232 through the reinforcing plate 233, the connecting assembly 23 ascends and descends as a whole with the second transmission belt 417. In the embodiment, the first connecting plate 231 and the second connecting plate 232 are connected with the first lifting belt 421 and the second lifting belt 422 respectively, so that the first lifting belt 421 and the second lifting belt 422 ascend and descend synchronously under the driving of the connecting assembly 23 during the ascending and descending of the connecting assembly 23 as a whole. Compared with the mode of supporting and driving the conveying device 2 as a whole through the second transmission belt 417, the first lifting belt 421 and the second lifting belt 422 support and ascend and descend with the first connecting plate 231 and the second connecting plate 232 respectively, thereby sharing the supporting pressure of the second transmission belt 417, prolonging the service life of the device as a whole and stabilizing the ascending and descending process of the conveying device 2. Meanwhile, the first connecting plate 231 and the second connecting plate 232 are slidably connected with the first sliding rail 424 and the second sliding rail 425 through the sliding blocks 426. Since the second transmission belt 417, the first lifting belt 421 and the second lifting belt 422 are soft in nature, they are prone to deformation and affect the stability of the ascending and descending of the conveying device 2. The first sliding rail 424 and the second sliding rail 425 provide a rigid guide for the ascending and descending of the conveying device 2, thereby stabilizing the ascending and descending process of the conveying device 2.

[0041] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the support belt 5 is arranged in the other installation chamber 14 and arranged in the same direction as the first lifting belt 421, and arranged parallel to the second transmission belt 417. The first connecting plate 231 extends to form a support plate 2311 on the side away from the first lifting belt 421, and the support plate 2311 is connected with the support belt 5. During the ascending and descending of the conveying device 2 as a whole with the second transmission belt 417, the support plate 2311 connected with the first connecting plate 231 on the side away from the first lifting belt 421 drives the support belt 5 to ascend and descend, thereby supporting the side of the conveying device 2 away from the second transmission belt 417, and stabilizing the ascending and descending process of the conveying device 2 as a whole.
