[0002] In the semiconductor silicon carbide substrate industry, traditional processing methods require grinding and thinning the wafer; therefore, a vacuum stage is required to limit and fix the wafer.
[0003] In the related art, after the wafer is placed horizontally on the vacuum suction stage, negative pressure adsorption is performed on the bottom wall of the wafer. However, due to the inconsistent smoothness of the bottom wall of the wafer, after the wafer is placed on the stage, the negative pressure adsorption force of the vacuum suction stage on the wafer is insufficient, and the wafer fixing stability is poor, causing the wafer to move relative to the vacuum suction stage during the grinding process.
[0004] However, the traditional vacuum suction stage lacks effective detection means to determine whether the wafer is adsorbed and fixed.

[0050] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the silicon carbide wafer stage detection device of the present invention cooperates with the detection component and the spray component. After the wafer is adsorbed and fixed by the adsorption hole, the spray component sprays water to the outer wall of the detection component to push the detection component to move horizontally. The stability of the wafer when it is adsorbed by negative pressure is checked by checking whether the detection component can push the wafer to move horizontally synchronously. If the wafer is adsorbed unstably, one detection component squeezes the outer wall of the wafer from top to bottom during radial sliding, and other detection components push the wafer from bottom to top away from the carrier during radial sliding. This avoids the synchronous rotation of the wafer with the grinding disc due to unstable adsorption during the wafer processing and grinding, thereby improving the grinding efficiency.

[0069] Research has found the shortcomings of the existing technology: in the related technology, after the wafer is placed horizontally on the vacuum suction stage, the bottom wall of the wafer is subjected to negative pressure adsorption. However, due to the inconsistent smoothness of the bottom wall of the wafer, after the wafer is placed on the stage, the negative pressure adsorption force of the vacuum suction stage on the wafer is insufficient, and the wafer fixing stability is poor, causing the wafer to move relative to the vacuum suction stage during the grinding process.
[0070] However, the traditional vacuum suction stage lacks effective detection means to determine whether the wafer is adsorbed and fixed.
[0071] Therefore, how to detect whether the wafer is stably adsorbed by the negative pressure of the vacuum stage is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field.
[0072] The defects existing in the above solutions are the results obtained by the inventor after practice and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed by the present invention in this article for the above problems should be the contributions made by the inventor to the present invention during the disclosure process.
[0073] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.
[0074] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0075] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, some embodiments provide a silicon carbide wafer stage detection device, including:
[0076] The carrier 1 has a plurality of adsorption holes 10 on its bottom wall; the adsorption holes 10 are connected to the air pump, and when the wafer 4 is placed horizontally on the carrier 1, the air pump uses negative pressure suction to limit and fix the wafer 4, thereby improving the stability of the wafer 4 during the polishing process. At least two detection components 2, the detection components 2 are slidably arranged in the annular groove of the inner bottom wall of the carrier 1, and are located at the circumferential edge of the wafer 4; the spray component 3 is arranged on the outer wall of the carrier 1, and one spray component 3 corresponds to one detection component 2; preferably, the spray head 33 of the spray component 3, its horizontal height and spray angle can be adjusted in real time according to the polishing process; in the water-flowing state, the height and angle of the water spray can be adjusted through the control panel, and the appropriate height and angle of the water spray can be found quickly and accurately, saving time, improving work efficiency, and improving the first-time pass rate and yield of the product. Among them, after the bottom wall of the wafer 4 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the carrier 1, the spray component 3 sprays water to the outer wall of the detection component 2 to detect whether the wafer 4 is stably adsorbed by the carrier 1; when the wafer 4 is stably adsorbed by the negative pressure, the detection component 2 moves along the radial direction of the carrier 1 and will not push the wafer 4 to move horizontally. If the wafer 4 is not stably adsorbed, one detection component 2 squeezes the outer wall of the wafer 4 from top to bottom when sliding radially. At this time, the wafer 4 is pushed to move horizontally, and the wafer 4 pushes other detection components 2 to slide radially. When moving, other detection components 2 push the wafer 4 from bottom to top away from the carrier 1.
[0077] During detection, only one spray assembly 3 sprays water outward, and the other spray assemblies 3 stop working. When polishing the wafer 4, each spray assembly 3 sprays water synchronously. Through the cooperation between the detection assembly 2 and the spray assembly 3, after the wafer 4 is adsorbed and fixed by the adsorption hole 10, the spray assembly 3 sprays water to the outer wall of the detection assembly 2 to push the detection assembly 2 to move horizontally. The stability of the wafer 4 when adsorbed by negative pressure is checked by checking whether the detection assembly 2 can push the wafer 4 to move horizontally synchronously. If the wafer 4 is adsorbed unstably, one detection assembly 2 squeezes the outer wall of the wafer 4 from top to bottom during radial sliding, and the other detection assemblies 2 push the wafer 4 from bottom to top away from the carrier 1 during radial sliding. This avoids the synchronous rotation of the wafer 4 with the grinding disc due to unstable adsorption during the processing and polishing of the wafer 4, thereby improving the polishing efficiency.
[0078] Reference Figure 3 The detection assembly 2 includes: a fixed frame 21, which is suitable for sliding in the circumferential direction in the annular groove; the fixed frame 21 is arranged along the radial direction of the carrier 1, and when the spray device sprays water to the side walls at both ends of the limit strip 23, the fixed frame 21 is suitable for sliding in the annular groove along the circumferential direction of the carrier 1. An adjustment block 22 is slidably arranged in the fixed frame 21; the adjustment block 22 can slide relative to the fixed frame 21, and the adjustment block 22 is also suitable for flipping relative to the fixed frame 21. A limit strip 23 is arranged on the adjustment block 22, and the side wall of the limit strip 23 is suitable for abutting against the outer wall of the wafer 4; the limit strip 23 is an arc shape that matches the outer wall of the wafer 4, and the horizontal height of the limit strip 23 is greater than the horizontal height of the wafer 4. When the wafer 4 is horizontally placed above the inner bottom wall of the carrier 1, the fixed frame 21 is located below the wafer 4, and the limit strip 23 is located outside the wafer 4, and the limit strip 23 has a gap with the outer wall of the wafer 4. Among them, when the bottom wall of the wafer 4 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the carrier 1, a gap is provided between the inner wall of each limit bar 23 and the outer wall of the wafer 4; when a spray assembly 3 sprays water to the outer wall of the corresponding limit bar 23, the water flow pushes the limit bar 23 to move the limit bar 23 toward the axis of the wafer 4, and the limit bar 23 slides inward to squeeze the outer wall of the wafer 4 to detect whether the wafer 4 is adsorbed stably. If the wafer 4 is fixed by the negative pressure adsorption of each adsorption hole 10, the wafer 4 will not be horizontally displaced at this time. If the stability of the wafer 4 being adsorbed and fixed by the negative pressure hole is not good, the wafer 4 moves horizontally relative to the carrier 1. When the wafer 4 moves horizontally, it is suitable to push the limit bars 23 at other positions and move synchronously away from the axis of the carrier 1.
[0079] Reference Figure 4, two sliding grooves 24 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the inner wall of the fixed frame 21, and the sliding grooves 24 extend along the length direction of the fixed frame 21. A linear rack 26 is provided at the inner bottom of each sliding groove 24; two gears 25 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the outer wall of the adjustment block 22, and the gears 25 and the linear racks 26 are meshed with each other; wherein, when the adjustment block 22 moves toward the axis direction of the carrier 1, the limit bar 23 is suitable for turning toward the outer wall of the wafer 4 with the gear 25 as the axis. When the limit bar 23 is pushed to move along the radial direction of the carrier 1, the adjustment block 22 moves synchronously, and the adjustment block 22 drives the gear 25 to move synchronously. When the gear 25 moves, it rotates relative to the linear rack 26, so that the adjustment block 22 turns over with the gear 25 as the axis. When the adjustment block 22 moves toward the axis direction of the carrier 1, the limit bar 23 gradually moves toward the outer wall of the wafer 4, and the limit bar 23 squeezes the outer wall of the wafer 4 from the outside to the inside as the adjustment block 22 turns over.
[0080] Reference Figure 4 The horizontal height of the adjusting block 22 is greater than that of the fixing frame 21, so that a gap is provided between the bottom wall of the limiting strip 23 and the upper surface of the fixing frame 21; wherein, when the adjusting block 22 moves radially along the supporting platform 1, the limiting strip 23 is suitable for flipping inward or outward relative to the fixing frame 21.
[0081] Reference Figure 2 In order to enable each fixing frame 21 to slide synchronously along the circumferential direction of the bearing platform 1, a positioning ring 11 is rotatably provided on the inner bottom wall of the annular groove, and each fixing frame 21 is arranged on the positioning ring 11 at equal intervals. When any spray head 33 sprays water to the end wall of the limit bar 23, the water flow is suitable for pushing the limit bar 23 to slide along the circumferential direction of the annular groove, and the limit bar 23 drives the positioning ring 11 to rotate synchronously, so that the remaining fixing frames 21 move synchronously. When the spray device sprays water to the end wall of the limit bar 23, the water flow is suitable for pushing the limit bar 23 to make the positioning ring 11 slide circumferentially in the inner ring groove; when the spray device sprays water to the outer wall of the limit bar 23, the water flow pushes the limit bar 23 to make the adjustment block 22 slide radially along the bearing platform 1.
[0082] Reference Figure 5The spray device includes: a fixed pipe 31, which is vertically arranged on the outer wall of the supporting platform 1 and is hollow inside; the fixed pipe 31 is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the fixed pipe 31 can be set to be liftable, and the water outlet height of the spray head 33 can be adjusted by adjusting the lifting and lowering of the fixed pipe 31. The steering head 32 is rotatably arranged on the upper end of the outer wall of the fixed pipe 31; the spray head 33 is arranged on the outer wall of the steering head 32 and is connected to the inside of the fixed pipe 31. The height of the fixed pipe 31 and the flip angle of the steering head 32 can be adjusted through the control panel. In the water-flowing state, the height and angle of the water spray can be adjusted through the control panel, so as to quickly and accurately find the appropriate height and angle of the water spray, and solve the problem of too long time to adjust the water spray position and inadequate adjustment.

[0090] A limit bar 23, which is arranged on the adjusting block 22, and the side wall of the limit bar 23 is suitable for abutting against the outer wall of the wafer 4;
[0091] After the bottom wall of the wafer 4 abuts against the inner bottom wall of the carrier 1, the spray assembly 3 sprays water toward the outer wall of the limiting strip 23 to detect whether the wafer 4 is stably adsorbed by the carrier 1;
[0092] If the wafer 4 is adsorbed unstably, one detection component 2 presses the outer wall of the wafer 4 from top to bottom when sliding radially, and the other detection components 2 push the wafer 4 from bottom to top when sliding radially, away from the carrier 1.
[0093] Furthermore, two sliding grooves 24 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the inner wall of the fixing frame 21, and a linear rack 26 is disposed at the inner bottom of each sliding groove 24;
[0094] Two gears 25 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the adjustment block 22, and the gears 25 are meshed with the linear rack 26;
[0095] When the adjusting block 22 moves toward the axis of the carrier platform 1 , the limiting bar 23 is adapted to be turned toward the outer wall of the wafer 4 with the gear 25 as the axis.
[0096] Furthermore, the horizontal height of the adjustment block 22 is greater than that of the fixing frame 21, so that a gap is provided between the bottom wall of the limiting strip 23 and the upper surface of the fixing frame 21;
[0097] When the adjusting block 22 moves radially along the supporting platform 1 , the limiting strip 23 is adapted to flip inward or outward relative to the fixing frame 21 .

[0099] After the wafer 4 is horizontally placed on the carrier 1, the adsorption holes 10 are negatively adsorbed to limit the position of the wafer 4;
[0100] The spray component 3 sprays water onto the outer wall of a detection component 2, and the detection component 2 moves inward along the radial direction of the carrier 1 to detect the stability of the wafer 4 being adsorbed by negative pressure;
[0101] If the wafer 4 is adsorbed unstably, one detection component 2 presses the outer wall of the wafer 4 from top to bottom when sliding radially, and simultaneously pushes the wafer 4 to slide horizontally, and the other detection components 2 push the wafer 4 from bottom to top when sliding radially to move away from the carrier 1;
[0102] The drag wafer 4 is adsorbed and limited, and one detection component 2 cannot push the wafer 4 to slide horizontally relative to the supporting platform 1 when sliding radially.
