Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wafer processing, and in particular to a wafer cleaning and drying jig. Background Art
[0002] During the process, the wafer will be contaminated by water, organic matter, metal pollution, etc. These pollutants will accelerate the oxidation of the wafer surface, resulting in a decrease in wafer yield and poor device quality. Therefore, the wafer needs to be cleaned and dried to remove surface pollutants and keep the wafer clean and dry.
[0003] Currently, after the 12-inch wafer processing is completed, because too much product leaks out of the cleaning rack, it can only be dried after cleaning. This causes the dirty dust particles on the surface of the product to directly adhere to the surface of the product during drying and cannot be removed.
[0004] After searching, the patent with application number CN202320359488.1 discloses a wafer cleaning and drying device, including a device body, a water collecting tank is fixedly connected to the bottom of the device body, a water tank is installed on the left side of the device body, and a connecting shaft is movably connected to the middle of the device body. The wafer cleaning and drying device is provided with a placement basket, a connecting shaft, a cabinet door, a wafer body, a rotating motor, a limit plate and a drain basket. When in use, the cabinet door is opened, and the wafer body is placed in the groove of the placement basket. Then the limit plate is clamped on the top of the placement basket to limit and fix the placement basket, and it is not easy to fall off. Then the rotating motor is started, and under the action of the rotating motor, the connecting shaft is driven to start rotating, and the water after the placement basket is rinsed is dried by the centrifugal force during rotation. The water passes through the drain basket and collects at the bottom of the device body. After a period of time, the water on the surface of the wafer is dried, which solves the problem of inconvenience in limiting the wafer.
[0005] The patent with application number CN202110173368.8 discloses a spin-drying device for wafer cleaning, including a machine body, a drain trough, a spin-drying machine door, a door handle, a door control mechanism, a spin-drying drive mechanism, and a wafer fixing mechanism, wherein the wafer fixing mechanism includes a fixed frame, a drain hole, a chute, a movable bottom plate, a roller, a bottom plate push rod, and a front baffle. The chute is provided on both sides of the interior below the fixed frame, and the drain hole is provided on the side wall and the top of the fixed frame. The movable bottom plate is provided between the chute, and the roller is provided on both sides of the movable bottom plate. Through the wafer fixing mechanism with a bottom plate that can be extended adopted by the invention, when the wafer needs to be placed, the bottom plate is extended. At this time, the wafer tray is placed on the bottom plate from top to bottom, and there is no need to extend the arm to place the wafer tray into the spin-drying device, thereby reducing the risk of collision of the wafer and improving the production yield.
[0006] In order to avoid the above-mentioned problem that the dirty dust particles caused by drying will directly adhere to the surface of the product during drying and cannot be removed, the spin drying method is now often used to remove moisture and dirty dust on the surface of the wafer;
[0007] However, the existing drying device after wafer cleaning has the following defects:
[0008] 1. The wafer fixture has insufficient carrying capacity, and only a few wafers can be dried at a time, which reduces the efficiency of wafer drying.
[0009] 2. The wafer fixture has a poor positioning effect on the wafer, which can easily cause the wafer to shake during the drying process, causing the wafer to collide with the fixture, posing a risk of damaging the wafer; and the current wafer fixture is not convenient for taking and placing the wafer, that is, it is more troublesome to lock the wafer through the fixture, which reduces the efficiency of the wafer drying process;
[0010] 3. When the current wafer is dried, a driving mechanism is usually used to drive the wafer fixture (driving the wafer) to rotate at high speed in one direction. The drying effect of the wafer needs to be improved, so we need to propose a wafer cleaning and drying fixture. Summary of the invention

[0053] A handle 23 for taking and placing the installation mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the upper net frame 21, which is convenient for taking and placing the installation mechanism 2. A slot 22 is opened on the top of the upper net frame 21, and the bottom of the lower net frame 25 is connected with a plug post 29 aligned with the slot 22.

The bottom of the pressure plate 241 is provided with a groove 242 aligned with the wafer, that is, the position of the groove 242 is aligned with the notch 273.

[0058] Rotate the turntable 263 to drive the worm 262 to rotate. The worm 262 drives the rotating column 264 and the ring 266 to rotate through the worm gear 265, and then drives the arc-shaped positioning rod 267 to rotate, so that the end of the positioning rod 267 passes through the positioning ring 268, which can lock the upper net frame 21 and the lower net frame 25, ensuring that the wafer remains stable inside the installation mechanism 2 and does not shake during the drying process. In addition, with the cooperation of the worm 262 and the worm gear 265, it has a self-locking function, that is, after the positioning rod 267 moves into place, it can be stably inserted into the inside of the positioning ring 268, which can ensure that the locked upper net frame 21 and the lower net frame 25 will not loosen automatically.
[0059] like Fig. 9 As shown, the support assembly 27 includes a connecting rod 271 connected to two opposite inner walls of the lower mesh frame 25, and a support plate 272 is installed on the connecting rod 271. The support plate 272 is provided with a plurality of notches 273 arranged at equal intervals. Through the arrangement of the plurality of notches 273, a plurality of wafers can be placed in one installation mechanism 2. The notches 273 are set to be triangular notches, which is convenient for positioning wafers of different thicknesses. In order to reduce damage to the wafer, a soft silicone layer can be installed on the inner wall of the notch 273.
[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, a driving mechanism 3 for driving the wafer fixture to rotate is installed at the bottom of the spin drying barrel 100, and the driving mechanism 3 includes a rotating plate 32 rotatably arranged at the bottom of the spin drying barrel 100.

The motor 31 is configured as a servo motor, and one end of the output shaft of the motor 31 passes through the bottom of the spin drying barrel 100 and is connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 32.
[0061] The rotating plate 32 is configured as a Y-shaped rotating plate, the supporting frame 1 is rotatably mounted on the end of the rotating plate 32, a supporting seat 33 is mounted on the end surface of the rotating plate 32, specifically, the supporting seat 33 includes a bearing embedded on the rotating plate 32, the inner ring of the bearing is plugged with a supporting column, a clamping block 34 is connected to the supporting seat 33, the clamping block 34 is fixed on the supporting column, a clamping slot is provided at the bottom of the supporting frame 1 (not shown in the figure due to viewing angle), and the clamping block 34 is clamped inside the clamping slot. The clamping block 34 is configured as a circular clamping block, and a plurality of protrusions are provided on the side of the clamping block 34 to increase the stability of the clamping block 34 inside the clamping slot.
[0062] When in use, take a plurality of wafers, first place the wafers inside the lower mesh frame 25, specifically, align the side of the wafer with the notch 273 on the support plate 272 in the support assembly 27, and insert the side of the wafer into the notch 273, and a plurality of annular equidistantly arranged support assemblies 27 can realize multi-point support for the wafer, ensuring the stability of wafer installation, and since a plurality of notches 273 are evenly spaced on the support plate 272, a plurality of wafers can be placed in one installation mechanism 2 (lower mesh frame 25), realizing large-scale cleaning and drying of the wafers;
[0063] Then, the upper net frame 21 is turned over and covered on the lower net frame 25. During the covering process, the pressing plate 241 contacts the top of the wafer, and the top of the wafer is stuck into the inside of the groove 242. As the wafer continues to contact the pressing plate 241, the pressing plate 241 drives the movable column 243 to insert into the inside of the sliding groove, and the spring 244 is squeezed to achieve the positioning of the wafer.
[0064] After the wafer is positioned, the locking assembly 26 is used to lock the upper frame 21 and the lower frame 25. Specifically, the turntable 263 is rotated to drive the worm 262 to rotate. The worm 262 drives the rotating column 264 and the collar 266 to rotate through the worm gear 265, thereby driving the arc-shaped positioning rod 267 to rotate, and the end of the positioning rod 267 passes through the positioning ring 268, so that the upper frame 21 and the lower frame 25 can be locked, ensuring that the wafer remains stable inside the mounting mechanism 2 and does not shake during the drying process.
[0065] Then, according to the above process, wafers are filled in each mounting mechanism 2, and then the mounting mechanisms 2 are stacked in sequence and placed inside the support frame 1 by means of the handles 23, and the plugging posts 29 on the lower mesh frame 25 of the lowest mounting mechanism 2 are inserted into the inside of the notch (not shown in the figure) on the support frame 1, and the plugging posts 29 on the lower mesh frame 25 of the upper mounting mechanism 2 are inserted into the slots 22 in the upper mesh frame 21 of the lower mounting mechanism 2, to ensure the stability of the upper and lower mounting mechanisms 2;
[0066] Finally, the motor 31 in the driving mechanism 3 is operated, and the motor 31 drives the rotating plate 32 to rotate, and the rotating plate 32 drives multiple wafer fixtures 200 loaded with wafers to revolve. In the process of the revolution of the wafer fixture 200, since the outer side of the support frame 1 is equipped with an outer gear ring 6 meshing with the inner gear ring 4, the self-rotation of the wafer fixture 200 is achieved with the cooperation of the inner gear ring 4 and the outer gear ring 6, thereby further improving the effect of wafer drying.
