Its main purpose is to remove the PN junction at the edge of the silicon wafer, avoid short circuit and reduce parallel resistance.

[0016] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of a dephosphorization and deboronization and siliconization etching and cleaning equipment are: 1. Through the set driving mechanism, CCD visual camera, fill light and industrial computer, when the battery silicon wafer is wet-etched and processed by the pickling and drying integrated chain machine body, the robot arm drives the electric negative pressure suction cup assembly to approach the upper surface of the battery silicon wafer through the industrial computer, and then the industrial computer controls the electric negative pressure suction cup assembly to stably absorb the battery silicon wafer. After that, the industrial computer drives the robot arm and the electric negative pressure suction cup assembly to move to the top of the reprocessing tank through the driving mechanism, and then controls the robot arm through the industrial computer to make the battery silicon wafer close to the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism, and at the same time the industrial computer controls the start The CCD vision camera and the fill light are activated, and the light of the fill light is irradiated onto the battery silicon wafer. Then the CCD vision camera takes pictures of the battery silicon wafer under the light state, and uses the visual inspection software loaded on the industrial computer to assist in the inspection. It automatically detects whether there are bright spots on the side of the battery silicon wafer close to the CCD vision camera under the light state. If there are bright spots, it means that the battery silicon wafer is over-etched and unqualified. Otherwise, it means that the battery silicon wafer is not over-etched and is preliminarily qualified. This mechanism is used in battery silicon wafer wet etching equipment with the function of battery silicon wafer over-etching detection.

[0017] 2. Through the set battery silicon wafer detection mechanism, when the battery silicon wafer passes the preliminary detection by the CCD visual camera and the industrial computer, the battery silicon wafer needs to be tested again by the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism. At this time, the multi-channel voltage measuring instrument in the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism cooperates with the four groups of contact components, and measures the voltage on the four sides of the battery silicon wafer. At the same time, the multi-channel voltage measuring instrument sends the voltage detected by the contact components on each detection channel to the industrial computer one by one in the form of electrical signals. If one or more groups of voltage values ​​are lower than the standard voltage value at the etching edge after comparing the four groups of voltage values ​​with the standard voltage value at the etching edge, this is because the edge of the battery silicon wafer still has a PN junction due to incomplete etching, and causes a short circuit in the edge area of ​​the battery silicon wafer, and there are problems of reduced resistance and easy current flow, thereby reducing the voltage at the side of the battery silicon wafer. Then the industrial computer controls the mechanical arm through the voltage reduction signal to move the battery silicon wafer to the battery silicon wafer wet etching mechanism. The mechanism is used in the battery silicon wafer wet etching equipment to have the function of incomplete battery silicon wafer etching detection, thereby improving the reliability of the battery silicon wafer wet etching equipment.

[0018] 3. Through the set battery silicon wafer re-wet etching mechanism and water washing and drying mechanism, when there is incomplete etching on the side of the battery silicon wafer, the industrial computer controls the robotic arm to move the battery silicon wafer to the battery silicon wafer re-wet etching mechanism, and performs targeted re-etching and trimming on the incomplete etching position. After the re-etching and trimming, it is cleaned and dried by the water washing and drying mechanism. The dried battery silicon wafer is then inspected by the battery silicon wafer inspection mechanism, and is transported to the next processing position if qualified. This mechanism enables the dephosphorization and deboronization and siliconization etching cleaning equipment to have the function of precise re-etching processing of incompletely etched battery silicon wafers, which can not only improve the quality of battery silicon wafer processing, but also improve the convenience and efficiency of battery silicon wafer wet etching processing.

[0027] The multi-channel voltage meter 62 and the CCD visual camera 64 are both electrically connected to the input terminal of the industrial computer 7 through wires, wherein the multi-channel voltage meter 62 is a voltage measuring device, and has multiple channels to separately measure the voltage at the side walls of the battery silicon wafer, and the multi-channel voltage meter 62 can send the measured voltage value and electrical signal to the industrial computer 7, the robotic arm 2, the electric negative pressure suction cup assembly 3, the servo motor 53, the vacuum pump 85, the electromagnetic control valve 810, the semiconductor refrigerator 93, the water inlet control valve 98, the inlet fan 911 and the display 11 are all electrically connected to the output terminal of the industrial computer 7 through wires, the model of the industrial computer 7 is Lenovo ECI-521P industrial computer, the normally closed valve 812 is electrically connected to the external power supply through the liquid level switch 815, and the above-mentioned power-on equipment and electrical connections are all existing technologies and will not be repeated here.

[0028] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: after the battery silicon wafer is wet-etched and processed by the pickling and drying integrated chain machine body 1, the robot arm 2 drives the electric negative pressure suction cup assembly 3 to approach the upper surface of the battery silicon wafer through the industrial computer 7, and then the industrial computer 7 controls the electric negative pressure suction cup assembly 3 to stably absorb the battery silicon wafer, and then the industrial computer 7 also controls the servo motor 53 to rotate forward, and the forward rotating servo motor 53 moves the fixed frame 55 through the threaded cylinder 54 and the screw rod 52. The fixed frame 55 drives the robot arm 2 and the electric negative pressure suction cup assembly 3 to move to the top of the reprocessing tank 14, and then the servo motor 53 stops rotating, and then the industrial computer 7 controls the robot arm 2 again through the industrial computer 7 to make the battery silicon wafer close to the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism 6. At the same time, the industrial computer 7 controls to start the CCD visual camera 64 and the fill light 65. The light of the fill light 65 is irradiated onto the battery silicon wafer, and then the CCD visual The visual camera 64 then takes a picture of the battery silicon wafer under the light state, and uses the visual inspection software loaded on the industrial computer 7 to assist in the inspection, and automatically detects whether there is a bright spot on the side of the battery silicon wafer close to the CCD visual camera 64 under the light state. If the CCD visual camera 64 cooperates with the industrial computer 7 to automatically detect that there is a bright spot on the battery silicon wafer under the light state, it means that the battery silicon wafer is over-etched and unqualified. Then the industrial computer 7 automatically controls the servo motor 53 to reverse according to the detection result, and the reversed servo motor 53 moves the fixed frame 55 to the top of the waste collection tank 18. Then the industrial computer 7 controls the robot arm 2 and the electric negative pressure suction cup assembly 3 to put the over-etched battery silicon wafer into the waste collection tank 18. If the CCD visual camera 64 cooperates with the industrial computer 7 to detect that there is no bright spot on the battery silicon wafer under the light state, it means that the battery silicon wafer is not over-etched and is preliminarily qualified. After the battery silicon wafer passes the preliminary inspection by the CCD visual camera 64 and the industrial computer 7, the battery silicon wafer needs to be inspected again by the battery silicon wafer inspection mechanism 6. At this time, the multi-channel voltage measuring instrument 62 in the battery silicon wafer inspection mechanism 6 cooperates with the four groups of contact components 63 and measures the voltage on the four sides of the battery silicon wafer. At the same time, the multi-channel voltage measuring instrument 62 sends the voltage detected by the contact components 63 on each inspection channel to the industrial computer 7 one by one in the form of electrical signals. At this time, the four inspection components are marked as A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A110, A210, A120, A130, A140, A150, A160, A170, A180, A190, A200, A210, A210, A220, A230, A240, A250, A260, A270, A270, A280, A290, A300, A31 ... A3 and A4, then the industrial computer 7 analyzes the electrical signal to obtain the voltage value, and compares the measured voltage value with the standard voltage value at the etching edge preset by the industrial computer 7. If the four sets of voltage values ​​are consistent with the standard voltage value at the etching edge within the error range, it means that the battery silicon wafer is qualified for wet etching in the pickling and drying integrated chain machine body 1. Then the industrial computer 7 automatically controls the mechanical arm 2 and the electric negative pressure suction cup assembly 3 according to the qualified test result of the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism 6 to move the battery silicon wafer to the conveyor belt of the assembly line and transport it to the next If one or more groups of voltage values ​​are lower than the standard voltage value at the etching edge after the four groups of voltage values ​​are compared with the standard voltage value at the etching edge, this is because the PN junction still exists at the edge of the battery silicon wafer due to incomplete etching, which causes a short circuit in the edge area of ​​the battery silicon wafer, and there is a problem of reduced resistance and easy current flow, thereby reducing the voltage at the side of the battery silicon wafer. After that, the industrial computer 7 determines that the side wall of the battery silicon wafer at that position has an incomplete etching problem based on the voltage electrical signals transmitted one by one by the multi-channel voltage measuring instrument 62, and then the industrial computer 7 controls the robot arm 2 to move the battery silicon wafer to the battery silicon wafer wet etching mechanism 8 through the voltage reduction signal. At the same time, the industrial computer 7 controls to start the electromagnetic control valve 810 corresponding to the position of the incompletely etched side wall of the battery silicon wafer, and the industrial computer 7 installs the four electromagnetic control valves 810 on the first hollow cover 83 in a clockwise direction and marks them as B1, B2, B3 and B4. This mechanism is used in the battery silicon wafer wet etching equipment and has the function of detecting over-etching and incomplete etching of the battery silicon wafer, thereby improving the reliability of the battery silicon wafer wet etching equipment.

[0029] When the incomplete etching of the side of the battery silicon wafer detected by the contact component 63 at the A1 position needs to be trimmed, the battery silicon wafer is controlled by the robot arm 2 to move to the top of the spray nozzle 811 in the battery silicon wafer wet etching mechanism 8, and the industrial computer 7 controls the electromagnetic control valve 810 at the B1 position to open. At the same time, the time when the industrial computer 7 controls the electromagnetic control valve 810 at the B1 position to be energized and opened is inversely proportional to the voltage value of the side of the battery silicon wafer detected by the contact component 63 at the A1 position, that is, the smaller the measured voltage value on the side of the battery silicon wafer, the more PN junctions there are in the side wall area of ​​the battery silicon wafer, that is, the higher the degree of incomplete etching, and then the amount of acid solution sprayed by the electromagnetic control valve 810 and the spray nozzle 811 is more, thereby ensuring that the incompletely etched side of the battery silicon wafer has sufficient time to complete the wet etching process again, thereby improving the quality of the battery silicon wafer etching process. At this time, the industrial computer 7 also controls the start of the pump The air pump 85 delivers air to the acid storage area 82 through the exhaust check valve 86, and the air pushes the acid solution in the acid storage area 82 to be delivered to the first hollow cover 83 along the conduit 89, and then the acid solution enters the liquid spray nozzle 811 through the opened electromagnetic control valve 810, and then the acid solution in the liquid spray nozzle 811 is sprayed to the side of the battery silicon wafer where the etching is not complete to complete the wet etching again. After the wet etching of the battery silicon wafer is completed again, the industrial computer 7 controls the air pump 85 and the electromagnetic control valve 810 at the corresponding position to cut off the power and close, and then the industrial computer 7 controls the robot arm 2 to move the battery silicon wafer to the top of the second hollow cover 92 of the washing and drying mechanism 9. Similarly, when the etching of the battery silicon wafer side detected by the contact assembly 63 at A2, A3 and A4 is incomplete and needs to be trimmed, the industrial computer 7 controls the electromagnetic control valve 810 at the positions of B2, B3 and B4 to open; At this time, the industrial computer 7 controls the air intake control valve to be powered on and opened for 30 seconds. Within 30 seconds, the water supply pipe 99 transports pure water to the inside of the second hollow cover 92. Finally, the pure water is sprayed to the battery silicon wafer through the water nozzle for water washing. When the battery silicon wafer wet etching equipment is working, the industrial computer 7 also controls the semiconductor refrigerator 93 to work. The cooling side of the semiconductor refrigerator 93 reduces the temperature of the ceramic thermal conductive strip 94. The low-temperature ceramic thermal conductive strip 94 maintains the temperature of the acid solution in the acid storage area 82 at 8 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is high, the etching acid solution will be unstable during the etching process, affecting the accuracy of the battery silicon wafer etching processing. The temperature of the etching acid solution is generally not suitable for a long time. More than 10 degrees Celsius, in addition, the heat on the working heat dissipation side of the semiconductor refrigerator 93 is transported by the air inlet fan 911. On the one hand, the air carrying heat can increase the water temperature of the washing water. The higher water temperature can improve the flushing of the residual acid solution on the surface of the battery silicon wafer, accelerate the dissolution of the residual acid solution, and improve the effect of the washing. After 30 seconds, the water inlet control valve 98 is controlled by the industrial computer 7 to cut off the power and close, and no pure water enters the second hollow cover 92. At this time, the second hollow cover 92 transports air with a higher temperature, which makes it convenient to dry the battery silicon wafers after washing. The dried battery silicon wafers are then inspected by the battery silicon wafer inspection mechanism 6, and are transported to the next processing position after the inspection. This mechanism enables the dephosphorization and deboronization and siliconization etching cleaning equipment to have the function of accurately re-etching the incompletely etched battery silicon wafers, which can not only improve the quality of battery silicon wafer processing, but also improve the convenience and efficiency of battery silicon wafer wet etching processing.
