[0001] This invention relates to the field of silicon carbide wafer technology, specifically to a grinding apparatus for polishing silicon carbide wafers. Background Technology

[0002] The main applications of silicon carbide wafers include LED solid-state lighting and high-frequency devices. This material possesses superior properties, such as bandgap, drift velocity, breakdown voltage, thermal conductivity, and high-temperature resistance, which are several times higher than those of traditional silicon. It has irreplaceable advantages in electronic applications involving high temperature, high pressure, high frequency, high power, optoelectronics, radiation resistance, and microwave resistance, as well as in extreme environments such as aerospace, military, and nuclear energy. As the only domestic supplier of silicon carbide single crystals, we hold an absolute leading position in R&D, technology, market development, and commercial operations. We have successfully mastered the core technology for growing 76mm ultra-large gem-quality SiC2 crystals, reaching the advanced international level of 2001.

An adjustment groove is opened through the top of the protective shell, and a mounting frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment groove.

[0014] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention also proposes a grinding apparatus for polishing silicon carbide wafers and a method for using it. The grinding apparatus for polishing silicon carbide wafers includes the following steps: Step 1: First, attach the silicon carbide wafer to be ground to the mounting plate. Then, magnetically attach the grinding disc to the fixing plate. Next, engage the mounting plate with the first push roller. Then, push the second swing arm to adjust the distance between the second and first push rollers. This will cause the positioning rod to slide along the groove on one side of the second swing arm. Finally, fix the adjusted second swing arm with the positioning rod to complete the connection between the second and first push rollers and the mounting plate. Step 2: When it is necessary to grind the silicon carbide wafer, start the No. 1 motor set on the outer wall of the base frame. The No. 1 motor drives the No. 1 fixed rod to rotate, which in turn drives the No. 1 stirrer to rotate along the inner wall of the coarse grinding liquid tank. The No. 1 stirrer stirs the grinding liquid in the coarse grinding liquid tank. At this time, start the No. 1 nozzle to draw the grinding liquid in the coarse grinding liquid tank through the No. 1 infusion pipe and spray the grinding liquid onto the top of the grinding disc. As the first fixed rod rotates, the first belt roller rotates along with it, causing the second belt roller to rotate synchronously with it via the first conveyor belt. By adjusting the position of the adjusting frame, the positioning roller is brought into contact with the first conveyor belt, ensuring the stability of the transmission of the second belt roller via the first conveyor belt. At this time, the second belt roller drives the first transmission rod to rotate synchronously, causing the first transmission rod to rotate along the bearing frame and drive the fixed plate to rotate. This, in turn, causes the grinding disc and the mounting plate to rotate synchronously, thus bringing the silicon carbide wafer into contact with the grinding disc and the grinding fluid. Step 3: While the first transmission rod is rotating, it drives the crank to perform circular motion. Since the inner wall of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the crank and the rack, the rack is reciprocated through the connecting rod and the crank, thereby driving the rack to slide back and forth along the slide rail. In turn, the rack drives the first gear to rotate back and forth. At this time, the first gear drives the first swing arm to swing back and forth through the second transmission rod, so that the first and second swing arms drive the silicon carbide wafer and the mounting plate to swing through the first and second push rollers, thus completing the initial grinding of the silicon carbide wafer. Step 4: When the staff needs to perform secondary fine grinding on the silicon carbide wafer, push the No. 1 swing arm and the No. 2 swing arm to one side, then install the mounting plate and mounting frame after the silicon carbide wafer is attached, and then magnetically connect the replaced grinding disc to the fixing plate. At this time, start the No. 2 motor set on the outer wall of the protective shell so that the No. 2 motor drives the No. 2 fixing rod to rotate. Since the No. 2 gear is meshed with the transmission gear, the transmission gear drives the No. 2 stirrer to rotate along the inner wall of the fine grinding liquid tank, thereby completing the stirring of the fine grinding liquid in the fine grinding liquid tank. Step 5: As the second fixed rod rotates, the third belt roller also rotates, causing the fourth belt roller to rotate synchronously with the third belt roller via the second conveyor belt. This causes the fourth belt roller to drive the fixed ring to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting frame to rotate via the telescopic rod. Since the outer wall of the bearing ring is connected to the inner wall of the fourth belt roller, the stability of the subsequent cylinder lifting and adjusting is ensured. Then, by activating the cylinder installed on one side of the second fixed frame, the cylinder drives the push rod to lift and lower, so that the push rod drives the mounting frame and the mounting plate to lift and lower synchronously. Because the outer wall bearing of the mounting frame is connected to the connecting frame, the connecting frame drives the No. 2 nozzle to move up and down synchronously with the mounting frame. By activating the No. 2 nozzle, the No. 2 nozzle, in conjunction with the No. 2 infusion pipe, sprays the fine grinding fluid in the fine grinding fluid tank. This allows the mounting plate to adhere to the grinding disc for grinding, and with the continuous spraying of fine grinding fluid, the grinding and polishing of the silicon carbide wafer is completed.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the polishing apparatus for polishing silicon carbide wafers; 1. Through the setup of a coarse grinding slurry tank, a second belt roller, and a fixed plate, the first conveyor belt drives the second belt roller to rotate synchronously with the first belt roller. At the same time, when the fixed plate rotates with the second belt roller via the first transmission rod, the first fixed rod drives the first agitator to stir the coarse grinding slurry in the coarse grinding slurry tank. While the fixed plate, in conjunction with the grinding disc, grinds the silicon carbide wafer after it is attached to the mounting plate, the quality of the coarse grinding slurry in the tank is ensured. This solves the problem that existing silicon carbide wafer grinding devices require intermittent addition of coarse grinding slurry by the operator. This allows the entire device to add coarse grinding slurry while grinding the silicon carbide wafer, improving the efficiency of the operator in grinding the silicon carbide wafer. It also prevents the coarse grinding slurry in the tank from solidifying, thus ensuring the quality of subsequent grinding of the silicon carbide wafer by the coarse grinding slurry. 2. By using a crank, gear number one, and swing arm number two, the spacing of swing arm number two is adjusted so that it drives the spacing between push roller number two and push roller number one. This causes the positioning rod to slide along the groove opened on one side of swing arm number two, and then the positioning rod fixes the adjusted swing arm number two. This makes it easier for workers to grind silicon carbide wafers of different sizes, improves the efficiency of grinding silicon carbide wafers of different sizes, and ensures the stability of grinding silicon carbide wafers of different sizes. Simultaneously, the crank rotates through the first transmission rod, causing the rack to reciprocate through the connecting rod and the crank. This causes the rack to slide reciprocally along the slide rail, which in turn drives the first gear to rotate reciprocally. At this time, the first gear drives the first swing arm to swing reciprocally through the second transmission rod. This facilitates the rotation of the grinding disc while the first and second swing arms drive the mounting plate after the silicon carbide wafer is attached to swing, increasing the contact area between the mounting plate and the grinding disc and improving the overall efficiency of the device in grinding the mounting plate. 3. By using a gear meshing mechanism with a No. 2 motor, a No. 4 belt roller, and a cylinder, the No. 2 agitator rotates via a transmission gear and a No. 2 gear. Simultaneously, the No. 4 belt roller rotates synchronously with the No. 3 belt roller via the No. 2 conveyor belt. This, in turn, drives the fixed ring, telescopic rod, and mounting frame to rotate. Then, by activating the cylinder mounted on one side of the No. 2 fixed frame, the cylinder drives the push rod to rise and fall, causing the push rod to synchronously rise and fall of the mounting frame and mounting plate. This solves the problem that existing silicon carbide wafer grinding devices cannot adjust the height during grinding, thus facilitating the adjustment of the grinding process according to the required thickness of the silicon carbide wafer. This improves the efficiency of grinding silicon carbide wafers to the required thickness, ensures the quality of the ground silicon carbide wafers, and increases the overall practicality of the device.

[0020] The first fixed rod 7 forms a rotating structure through the first motor 6, and the first stirrer 8 forms an integrated structure with the first fixed rod 7 and the first motor 6. The first stirrer 8 is installed on the inner wall of the coarse grinding liquid tank 3, and the shape and size of the inner wall of the coarse grinding liquid tank 3 and the outer wall of the first stirrer 8 are matched. The inner wall of the first conveyor belt 10 is provided with a first belt roller 9 and a second belt roller 13, and the second belt roller 13 forms an integrated rotating structure with the first conveyor belt 10 and the first belt roller 9.

[0021] The specific implementation method is as follows: Using a coarse grinding slurry tank 3, a second belt roller 13, and a fixed plate 16, a first conveyor belt 10 drives the second belt roller 13 and the first belt roller 9 to rotate synchronously. Simultaneously, the fixed plate 16 rotates with the second belt roller 13 via a first transmission rod 14, causing the first fixed rod 7 to drive the first stirrer 8 to stir the coarse grinding slurry in the coarse grinding slurry tank 3. While the fixed plate 16, in conjunction with the grinding disc 17, grinds the silicon carbide wafer after it is attached to the mounting plate 18, the quality of the coarse grinding slurry transported in the coarse grinding slurry tank 3 is ensured. This solves the problem that existing silicon carbide wafer grinding devices require intermittent addition of coarse grinding slurry by operators. This allows for simultaneous addition of coarse grinding slurry while the entire device grinds the silicon carbide wafer, improving the efficiency of the grinding process and preventing the coarse grinding slurry in the tank 3 from solidifying, thus ensuring the quality of subsequent grinding of the silicon carbide wafer by the coarse grinding slurry.

An adjustment groove 33 is opened through the top of the protective shell 32, and the mounting bracket 48 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment groove 33.

[0027] The specific implementation method is as follows: A second motor 34, a fourth belt roller 45, and a cylinder 51 are connected by gears. The second stirrer 39 rotates via transmission gears 38 and 36. Simultaneously, the fourth belt roller 45 rotates synchronously with the third belt roller 43 via the second conveyor belt 44. This drives the fixed ring 46, the telescopic rod 47, and the mounting frame 48 to rotate. Then, the cylinder 51 installed on one side of the second fixed frame 49 is activated. The cylinder 51 drives the push rod 52 to rise and fall, causing the push rod 52 to synchronously raise and lower the mounting frame 48 and the mounting plate 18. This solves the problem that existing silicon carbide wafer grinding devices cannot adjust the height during grinding, thus facilitating grinding adjustments based on the required thickness of the silicon carbide wafer. This improves the efficiency of grinding according to the required thickness, ensures the quality of the ground silicon carbide wafer, and increases the overall practicality of the device.

[0028] Working principle: When using this grinding device for grinding silicon carbide wafers, firstly, the silicon carbide wafer to be ground is attached to the mounting plate 18, and then the grinding disc 17 to be ground is magnetically attached to the fixing plate 16. At this time, the attached mounting plate 18 is engaged with the first push roller 26. Then, by pushing the second swing arm 28, the distance between the second push roller 30 and the first push roller 26 is adjusted, thereby driving the positioning rod 27 to slide along the sliding groove 29 opened through one side of the second swing arm 28. Then, the adjusted second swing arm 28 is fixed by the positioning rod 27, thus completing the connection between the second push roller 30 and the first push roller 26 and the mounting plate 18. When it is necessary to grind the silicon carbide wafer, the No. 6 motor installed on the outer wall of the base frame 1 is started, so that the No. 6 motor drives the No. 7 fixed rod to rotate, and the No. 8 stirrer rotates along the inner wall of the coarse grinding liquid tank 3 through the No. 1 fixed rod 7. The No. 8 stirs the grinding liquid in the coarse grinding liquid tank 3. At this time, the No. 5 nozzle is started, so that the No. 5 nozzle draws the grinding liquid in the coarse grinding liquid tank 3 through the No. 1 infusion pipe 4 and sprays the grinding liquid onto the top of the grinding disc 17. As the first fixed rod 7 rotates, the first belt roller 9 rotates along with it, so that the second belt roller 13 rotates synchronously with the first belt roller 9 via the first conveyor belt 10. Then, by adjusting the position of the adjusting frame 12, the adjusting frame 12 drives the positioning roller 11 to contact the first conveyor belt 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the transmission of the second belt roller 13 via the first conveyor belt 10. At this time, the second belt roller 13 drives the first transmission rod 14 to rotate synchronously, so that the first transmission rod 14 drives the fixed plate 16 to rotate along the bearing frame 15, thereby driving the grinding disc 17 and the mounting plate 18 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the silicon carbide wafer to contact the grinding disc 17 and the grinding fluid. While the first transmission rod 14 is rotating, it drives the crank 19 to perform circular motion. Since the inner wall of the connecting rod 20 is slidably connected to the crank 19 and the rack 21, the rack 21 is reciprocated and stretched through the connecting rod 20 and the crank 19, thereby driving the rack 21 to slide reciprocally along the slide rail 22. In turn, the rack 21 drives the first gear 23 to rotate reciprocally. At this time, the first gear 23 drives the first swing arm 25 to swing reciprocally through the second transmission rod 24, so that the first swing arm 25 and the second swing arm 28 drive the silicon carbide wafer and the mounting plate 18 to swing through the first push roller 26 and the second push roller 30, thus completing the initial grinding of the silicon carbide wafer. When the staff needs to perform secondary fine grinding on the silicon carbide wafer, the first swing arm 25 and the second swing arm 28 are pushed to one side. Then, the mounting plate 18 and the mounting bracket 48 after the silicon carbide wafer is attached are installed. Next, the replacement grinding disc 17 is magnetically connected to the fixing plate 16. At this time, the second motor 34 set on the outer wall of the protective shell 32 is started, so that the second motor 34 drives the second fixing rod 35 to rotate. Since the second gear 36 is meshed with the transmission gear 38, the second stirrer 39 is driven to rotate along the inner wall of the fine grinding liquid tank 37 through the transmission gear 38, thereby completing the stirring of the fine grinding liquid in the fine grinding liquid tank 37. As the second fixed rod 35 rotates, the third belt roller 43 rotates along with the second fixed rod 35, so that the fourth belt roller 45 rotates synchronously with the third belt roller 43 via the second conveyor belt 44. This causes the fourth belt roller 45 to drive the fixed ring 46 to rotate, and then the fixed ring 46 drives the mounting frame 48 to rotate via the telescopic rod 47. Since the outer wall of the bearing ring 50 is connected to the inner wall of the fourth belt roller 45 bearing, the stability of the subsequent lifting and lowering adjustment of the cylinder 51 is ensured. Then, by activating the cylinder 51 installed on one side of the second fixed frame 49, the cylinder 51 drives the push rod 52 to lift and lower, so that the push rod 52 drives the mounting frame 48 and the mounting plate 18 to lift and lower synchronously. Since the outer wall bearing of the mounting frame 48 is connected to the connecting frame 42, the connecting frame 42 drives the second nozzle 41 to move up and down synchronously with the mounting frame 48. By starting the second nozzle 41, the second nozzle 41, in conjunction with the second infusion pipe 40, sprays the fine polishing liquid in the fine polishing liquid tank 37. This allows the mounting plate 18 to adhere to the polishing disc 17 for polishing, and with the continuous spraying of fine polishing liquid, the polishing and grinding of the silicon carbide wafer is completed.

A method of using a grinding apparatus for polishing silicon carbide wafers, for use in the grinding apparatus for polishing silicon carbide wafers according to any one of claims 1-9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: First, attach the silicon carbide wafer to be ground to the mounting plate (18), then attach the grinding disc (17) to the fixing plate (16) with magnetic attraction. At this time, attach the mounting plate (18) to the first push roller (26) and then push the second swing arm (28) to adjust the distance between the second push roller (30) and the first push roller (26), thereby driving the positioning rod (27) to slide along the groove (29) opened through one side of the second swing arm (28). Then, fix the adjusted second swing arm (28) through the positioning rod (27) to complete the connection between the second push roller (30) and the first push roller (26) and the mounting plate (18). Step 2: When it is necessary to grind the silicon carbide wafer, start the No. 1 motor (6) set on the outer wall of the base frame (1) so that the No. 1 motor (6) drives the No. 1 fixed rod (7) to rotate, thereby driving the No. 1 stirrer (8) to rotate along the inner wall of the coarse grinding liquid tank (3) through the No. 1 fixed rod (7), and then stir the grinding liquid in the coarse grinding liquid tank (3) through the No. 1 stirrer (8). At this time, start the No. 1 nozzle (5) so that the No. 1 nozzle (5) draws the grinding liquid in the coarse grinding liquid tank (3) through the No. 1 infusion pipe (4) and sprays the grinding liquid onto the top of the grinding disc (17). While the first fixed rod (7) rotates, the first belt roller (9) rotates along with the first fixed rod (7), so that the second belt roller (13) rotates synchronously with the first belt roller (9) through the first conveyor belt (10). Then, by adjusting the position of the adjusting frame (12), the adjusting frame (12) drives the positioning roller (11) to contact the first conveyor belt (10), thereby ensuring the stability of the transmission of the second belt roller (13) through the first conveyor belt (10). At this time, the second belt roller (13) drives the first transmission rod (14) to rotate synchronously, so that the first transmission rod (14) drives the fixed plate (16) to rotate along the bearing frame (15), thereby driving the grinding disc (17) and the mounting plate (18) to rotate synchronously through the fixed plate (16), thereby driving the silicon carbide wafer to contact the grinding disc (17) and the grinding liquid. Step 3: While the first transmission rod (14) is rotating, the first transmission rod (14) drives the crank (19) to perform circular motion. Since the inner wall of the connecting rod (20) is slidably connected to the crank (19) and the rack (21), the rack (21) is stretched back and forth through the connecting rod (20) and the crank (19), thereby driving the rack (21) to slide back and forth along the slide rail (22), and then driving the first gear (23) to rotate back and forth through the rack (21). At this time, the first gear (23) drives the first swing arm (25) to swing back and forth through the second transmission rod (24), so that the first swing arm (25) and the second swing arm (28) drive the silicon carbide wafer and the mounting plate (18) to swing through the first push roller (26) and the second push roller (30), thus completing the initial grinding of the silicon carbide wafer; Step 4: When the staff needs to perform secondary fine grinding on the silicon carbide wafer, push the first swing arm (25) and the second swing arm (28) to one side, and then install the mounting plate (18) and the mounting bracket (48) after the silicon carbide wafer is attached. Then, magnetically connect the replaced grinding disc (17) and the fixing plate (16). At this time, start the second motor (34) set on the outer wall of the protective shell (32) so that the second motor (34) drives the second fixing rod (35) to rotate. Since the second gear (36) and the transmission gear (38) are meshed, the second stirrer (39) is driven by the transmission gear (38) to rotate along the inner wall of the fine grinding liquid tank (37), thereby completing the stirring of the fine grinding liquid in the fine grinding liquid tank (37). Step 5: When the second fixed rod (35) rotates, the third belt roller (43) rotates with the second fixed rod (35), so that the fourth belt roller (45) rotates synchronously with the third belt roller (43) through the second conveyor belt (44), thereby driving the fixed ring (46) to rotate through the fourth belt roller (45), and then the fixed ring (46) drives the mounting frame (48) to rotate through the telescopic rod (47). Since the outer wall of the bearing ring (50) is connected to the inner wall of the fourth belt roller (45) bearing, the stability of the subsequent cylinder (51) lifting and adjusting is ensured. Then, by starting the cylinder (51) installed on one side of the second fixed frame (49), the cylinder (51) drives the push rod (52) to lift and lower, so that the push rod (52) drives the mounting frame (48) and the mounting plate (18) to lift and lower synchronously. Since the outer wall bearing of the mounting frame (48) is connected to the connecting frame (42), the connecting frame (42) drives the second nozzle (41) to move up and down synchronously with the mounting frame (48). By starting the second nozzle (41), the second nozzle (41) and the second infusion pipe (40) spray the fine polishing liquid in the fine polishing liquid tank (37), so that the mounting plate (18) and the polishing disc (17) are in contact and polished, and the fine polishing liquid is continuously sprayed to complete the polishing and grinding of the silicon carbide wafer.
