Description

Technical Field

[0002] The coating and developing machine is a commonly used equipment in the manufacture of semiconductors, generally used in processes such as photoresist coating and development. The sealing device used in the coating and developing equipment is mainly an adsorption workbench. During operation, the wafer will be transferred to the adsorption workbench in the coating or developing chamber for adsorption treatment, which is used to provide adsorption and support for the grinding and polishing of semiconductor wafers. A sealing ring is provided above the adsorption workbench, and an adsorption hole is opened above the workbench. During adsorption, the adsorption hole is evacuated by a vacuum pump to form a negative pressure between the wafer and the adsorption workbench, thereby adsorbing the wafer above the sealing ring.

[0003] However, when the existing sealing device for coating and developing equipment is in use, dust and other impurities are easily adhered to the top of the sealing ring, thereby affecting the sealing effect; the sealing ring is easily oxidized, which will also affect its sealing effect and service life; when there are pits or protrusions on the surface of the sealing ring, it is not easy to be discovered in time, which will also affect the sealing effect; when adsorption is performed, it is not convenient to detect the size of the adsorption force. When the adsorption force is small, the wafer is prone to shift or even fall during the spin coating process, which not only affects the quality of spin coating, but also causes waste of photoresist.

[0083] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0084] (1) The sealing device for the coating and developing equipment is provided with a protective mechanism, etc. When the wafer needs to be spin-coated, the second L-shaped plate is first driven to move by the third cylinder, and the disc is moved to the top of the adsorption workbench. Then, the second L-shaped plate and the disc are driven to move downward by the second cylinder. When the disc abuts against the top of the adsorption workbench and the second L-shaped plate continues to move downward, the first spring is gradually compressed. At the same time, the first push pin slides downward along the first sliding groove, thereby driving the rotating ring to rotate. At the same time, the rotating block rotates along the annular guide rail and drives the mounting block and the cleaning block to rotate synchronously. At this time, the cleaning block can automatically clean the surface of the sealing ring, thereby improving its sealing effect. At the same time, the scraper can automatically scrape and clean the excess paint on the surface of the adsorption workbench and flow it into the collection box for cleaning. The collection and use effect is better, and when the mounting block rotates, the first U-shaped plate is driven to rotate synchronously through the fixed block. At this time, the adsorption cotton can roll on the surface of the sealing ring. At the same time, after the disc is against the top of the adsorption workbench, when the second L-shaped plate continues to move downward, the distance between the second L-shaped plate and the disc becomes smaller. At this time, the second push plate is driven to move downward, so that the inclined surface is against the end of the push rod, which can push the sealing plate to slide into the working cover. At the same time, the third spring is compressed, so that the through hole overlaps. At this time, the antioxidant in the liquid storage tank enters the fixed cover through the liquid supply pipe and the through hole and flows to the adsorption cotton through the liquid outlet hole, so that when the rotating roller rotates, the antioxidant on the surface of the adsorption cotton can be coated on the surface of the sealing ring to avoid its oxidation, protect it, and ensure its sealing effect and service life.

[0085] (2) The sealing device for the coating and developing equipment is provided with a detection mechanism, etc. When the mounting block rotates, the reset mechanism drives the second U-shaped plate to rotate synchronously, and under the action of the second spring, the detection roller is abutted against the top of the sealing ring, so that the detection roller can roll on the top of the sealing ring. At this time, the pointer can point to a certain scale on the scale plate. When there are pits or protrusion defects on the surface of the sealing ring, the detection roller and the second U-shaped plate can be moved down or up. At this time, the second push pin is driven by the first push plate to slide in the second sliding groove, so that the pointer can be pushed to rotate along the rotating pin. At this time, the scale on the scale plate indicated by the pointer changes and is detected by the visual sensor, so that the surface of the sealing ring can be automatically detected to ensure its sealing effect, thereby making the sealing effect of the wafer better, more stable and reliable when it is adsorbed on the adsorption workbench, thereby ensuring the quality of spin coating.

[0086] (3) The sealing device for the coating and developing equipment is provided with a first pushing mechanism, etc. After cleaning and inspection are completed, the second L-shaped plate and the disc are driven to move and reset by the second cylinder and the third cylinder. Then, the first cylinder is started to move the first moving ring upward, and the second moving ring and the push rod are driven to move upward by the electromagnet and the iron block. Then, the wafer is placed above the push rod. Then, the first moving ring and the second moving ring are moved downward and reset by the first cylinder, and the wafer is driven downward by the push rod to make the wafer contact with the sealing ring. Then, the vacuum pump is started to perform the exhaust operation, so that a negative pressure is formed between the wafer and the adsorption workbench, so that the wafer can be adsorbed and fixed. Then, Cut off the power to the electromagnet. At this time, the hydraulic oil can be squeezed under the action of the counterweight block, which can push the second sleeve to move upward, thereby pushing the second movable ring to move upward, and then pushing the push rod to move upward and against the bottom of the wafer. If the adsorption force of the adsorption workbench on the wafer is not enough, the wafer and the sealing ring will be pushed to offset under the action of the push rod. At this time, leakage will occur at the sealing ring, and the pressure sensor will detect that the pressure is increasing. When the pressure sensor detects that the pressure is increasing, it means that the adsorption force on the wafer is insufficient, and maintenance or parameter adjustment is required. After the wafer is adsorbed, its adsorption force can be automatically detected to ensure the adsorption effect, which is more stable and reliable, thereby ensuring the quality of subsequent spin coating.

[0107] The third pushing mechanism includes a strip opening 301 opened above the mounting block 1209, and a first pushing plate 302 is slidably connected in the strip opening 301, the lower end of the first pushing plate 302 is fixed to the side wall of the second U-shaped plate 1301, and a second sliding groove 303 is opened on the side wall of the pointer 1306, and a second pushing pin 304 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first pushing plate 302, and the second pushing pin 304 is inserted in the second sliding groove 303. When there are pits or protrusion defects on the surface of the sealing ring 1114, the detection roller 1303 and the second U-shaped plate 1301 can be moved down or up. At this time, the second pushing pin 304 is driven by the first pushing plate 302 to slide in the second sliding groove 303, so that the pointer 1306 can be pushed to rotate along the rotating pin 1305. At this time, the scale on the scale plate 1307 indicated by the pointer 1306 changes.

[0108] The liquid supply mechanism includes a fixed plate 401 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting block 1209, and a liquid storage tank 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 401, a fixed cover 404 is fixedly connected to the two opposite side walls of the first U-shaped plate 1214, and a plurality of liquid outlet holes 405 arranged in an array are provided at the bottom of the fixed cover 404, a liquid supply pipe 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid storage tank 402, the lower end of the liquid supply pipe 403 is fixedly inserted in the fixed cover 404, and an opening and closing mechanism is provided on the side wall of the liquid supply pipe 403. When the disc 1206 is aligned with the upper surface of the adsorption workbench 1104, the liquid supply pipe 403 is opened. After the two sides collide with each other, when the second L-shaped plate 1205 continues to move downward, the distance between the second L-shaped plate 1205 and the disc 1206 becomes smaller. At this time, the opening and closing mechanism opens, and the antioxidant in the liquid storage tank 402 enters the fixed cover 404 through the liquid supply pipe 403 and the through hole 803 and flows to the adsorbent cotton 1212 through the liquid outlet 405. Therefore, when the rotating roller 1211 rotates, the antioxidant on the surface of the adsorbent cotton 1212 can be coated on the surface of the sealing ring 1114 to avoid its oxidation, thereby protecting it and ensuring its sealing effect and service life.

[0109] The telescopic mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged third sleeves 501 fixedly connected to the bottom of the second L-shaped plate 1205, and a third rod 502 is inserted in the third sleeve 501. The lower end of the third rod 502 is fixed to the top of the disc 1206, and the side wall of each third sleeve 501 is provided with a first spring 503. When the disc 1206 is in contact with the top of the adsorption workbench 1104, when the second L-shaped plate 1205 continues to move downward, the first spring 503 is gradually compressed.

[0110] The reset mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged fourth sleeves 2401 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting block 1209, and a fourth rod 2402 is inserted in the fourth sleeve 2401, the lower end of the fourth rod 2402 is fixed to the top of the second U-shaped plate 1301, and the side wall of each fourth sleeve 2401 is sleeved with a second spring 2403, which guides and resets the movement of the second U-shaped plate 1301.

[0111] The opening and closing mechanism includes a working cover 801 fixedly inserted on the side wall of the liquid supply pipe 403, and a sealing plate 802 is slidably connected inside the working cover 801, a through hole 803 is opened above the sealing plate 802, and a moving mechanism is arranged between the sealing plate 802 and the working cover 801, and the sealing plate 802 is pushed to slide into the working cover 801 through the moving mechanism, so that the through hole 803 overlaps. At this time, the antioxidant in the liquid storage tank 402 enters the fixed cover 404 through the liquid supply pipe 403 and the through hole 803 and flows to the adsorbent cotton 1212 through the liquid outlet 405.

[0112] The moving mechanism includes a pushing rod 902 fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing plate 802, and a third spring 901 is fixedly connected between the sealing plate 802 and the working cover 801, and a third connecting plate 905 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second L-shaped plate 1205, and a second pushing plate 903 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third connecting plate 905, and the second pushing plate 903 includes an inclined surface 904. When the disc 1206 abuts against the top of the adsorption workbench 1104, when the second L-shaped plate 1205 continues to move downward, the distance between the second L-shaped plate 1205 and the disc 1206 becomes smaller. At this time, the second pushing plate 903 is driven to move downward, so that the inclined surface 904 abuts against the end of the pushing rod 902, which can push the sealing plate 802 to slide into the working cover 801.

[0113] The driving mechanism includes a gear ring 1001 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the adsorption workbench 1104, and an L-shaped block 1002 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 1101, a motor 1003 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the L-shaped block 1002, a gear 1004 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 1003, and the gear 1004 is meshed with the gear ring 1001. When the motor 1003 is started, the rotation of the motor 1003 drives the gear 1004 and the gear ring 1001 to rotate, thereby driving the adsorption workbench 1104 and the wafer to rotate.

[0114] Working principle: When the wafer needs to be spin-coated, the third cylinder 1204 first drives the second L-shaped plate 1205 to move, and moves the disc 1206 to the top of the adsorption workbench 1104. Then, the second cylinder 1202 drives the second L-shaped plate 1205 and the disc 1206 to move downward. When the disc 1206 contacts the top of the adsorption workbench 1104, and the second L-shaped plate 1205 continues to move downward, the first spring 503 is gradually compressed, and at the same time, the first push pin 605 moves along the first The sliding groove 603 slides downward, thereby pushing the rotating ring 602 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating block 1208 rotates along the annular guide rail 1207, and drives the mounting block 1209 and the cleaning block 1210 to rotate synchronously. At this time, the cleaning block 1210 can automatically clean the surface of the sealing ring 1114, so that its sealing effect is better. At the same time, the scraper 701 can automatically scrape and clean the excess paint on the surface of the adsorption workbench 1104 and flow it into the collection box 703 for collection, so that the use effect is better.

[0115] When the mounting block 1209 rotates, the first U-shaped plate 1214 is driven to rotate synchronously through the fixing block 1213. At this time, the adsorption cotton 1212 can roll on the surface of the sealing ring 1114. At the same time, when the disc 1206 abuts against the top of the adsorption workbench 1104, when the second L-shaped plate 1205 continues to move downward, the distance between the second L-shaped plate 1205 and the disc 1206 becomes smaller. At this time, the second push plate 903 is driven to move downward, so that the inclined surface 904 abuts against the end of the push rod 902. , which can push the sealing plate 802 to slide into the working cover 801. At the same time, the third spring 901 is compressed, so that the through hole 803 overlaps. At this time, the antioxidant in the liquid storage tank 402 enters the fixed cover 404 through the liquid supply pipe 403 and the through hole 803 and flows to the adsorbent cotton 1212 through the liquid outlet 405. Therefore, when the rotating roller 1211 rotates, the antioxidant on the surface of the adsorbent cotton 1212 can be coated on the surface of the sealing ring 1114 to avoid its oxidation, thereby protecting it and ensuring its sealing effect and service life.

[0116] At the same time, when the mounting block 1209 rotates, the second U-shaped plate 1301 is driven to rotate synchronously through the reset mechanism, and under the action of the second spring 2403, the detection roller 1303 is abutted against the top of the sealing ring 1114, so that the detection roller 1303 can roll above the sealing ring 1114. At this time, the pointer 1306 can point to a certain scale on the scale plate 1307. When there are pits or convex defects on the surface of the sealing ring 1114, the detection roller 1303 and the second U-shaped plate 1301 can be lowered or raised. The first push plate 302 drives the second push pin 304 to slide in the second sliding groove 303, thereby pushing the pointer 1306 to rotate along the rotating pin 1305. At this time, the scale on the scale plate 1307 indicated by the pointer 1306 changes and is detected by the visual sensor 1308, so that the surface of the sealing ring 1114 can be automatically detected to ensure its sealing effect, thereby making the sealing effect of the wafer when being adsorbed on the adsorption workbench 1104 better, more stable and reliable, thereby ensuring the quality of spin coating.

[0117] After cleaning and inspection are completed, the second L-shaped plate 1205 and the disc 1206 are moved and reset by the second cylinder 1202 and the third cylinder 1204. Then, the first cylinder 1105 is started to move the first movable ring 1106 upward, and the second movable ring 1107 and the push rod 1108 are driven to move upward by the electromagnet 1115 and the iron block 1109. Then, the wafer is placed above the push rod 1108. Then, the first movable ring 1106 and the second movable ring 1107 are moved downward and reset by the first cylinder 1105, and the wafer is driven downward by the push rod 1108, and the wafer is brought into contact with the sealing ring 1114. Then, the vacuum pump 1111 is started to perform vacuum operation to form a negative pressure between the wafer and the adsorption workbench 1104, so that the wafer can be adsorbed and fixed.

[0118] Next, the electromagnet 1115 is powered off. At this time, the hydraulic oil can be squeezed under the action of the counterweight 208, and the second sleeve 203 can be pushed to move upward, thereby pushing the second movable ring 1107 to move upward, and then pushing the push rod 1108 to move upward and against the bottom of the wafer. If the adsorption force of the adsorption workbench 1104 on the wafer is insufficient, the wafer and the sealing ring 1114 will be pushed to offset under the action of the push rod 1108. At this time, leakage will occur at the sealing ring 1114, and the pressure sensor 1113 will detect that the pressure is increased. When the pressure sensor 1113 detects that the pressure is increased, it means that the adsorption force on the wafer is insufficient, and maintenance or parameter adjustment is required. After the wafer is adsorbed, its adsorption force can be automatically detected to ensure the adsorption effect, which is more stable and reliable, thereby ensuring the quality of subsequent spin coating.

[0119] After the inspection is completed, start the motor 1003. The rotation of the motor 1003 drives the gear 1004 and the ring gear 1001 to rotate, and then drives the adsorption workbench 1104 and the wafer to rotate. In addition, the glue nozzle 1103 is moved to the upper center of the wafer through the moving module 1102 for spin coating. After the spin coating is completed, open the vent valve 1112 so that the wafer and the adsorption workbench 1104 are no longer in a negative pressure state. Then, the wafer after spin coating can be lifted up and removed by the push rod 1108.
