[0023] In order to ensure the stability of the film box, two limit plates 7 are provided on the top of the film box positioning member 5. The distance between the two limit plates 7 is the same as the distance between the outer walls at both ends of the bottom opening of the film box, so as to fix the bottom of the film box; in order to ensure the stability of the wafer lifting, the top of the wafer support plate 6 is a V-shaped or arc-shaped structure.
[0024] The loading and unloading mechanism 1 also includes a lifting portion 8 with the function of lifting and lowering movement and movement toward or away from the film box positioning member 5. The lifting portion 8 is U-shaped, and the two arms of the lifting portion 8 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two ends of the bottom of the film box.

[0027] In other embodiments, the wafer transfer mechanism 2 can be provided with a plurality of wafer clamps 9, so as to clamp a plurality of wafers in sequence, and enable the plurality of wafers to complete the cleaning process in sequence, thereby improving efficiency. When a plurality of wafer clamps 9 are provided, the plurality of wafer clamps 9 have a cleaning path and a return path, and the two ends of the cleaning path coincide with the two ends of the transfer path of the wafer box transfer mechanism 3, and the two ends of the return path coincide with the two ends of the cleaning path and form a circular ring, and the plurality of wafer clamps 9 move in a circular motion.
[0028] A flexible pad may be provided on the clamping side of the wafer clamping arm 11 to prevent damage to the wafer during clamping.
[0029] The ends of the two wafer clamping arms 11 close to the rotating shaft 10 are connected by a connecting rod 12, and both ends of the connecting rod 12 are rotatably connected to the two wafer clamping arms 11 respectively. The setting of the connecting rod 12 can improve the structural strength and stability.
[0030] The wafer box reflow device is also provided with a detector 13, which is used to detect whether the wafer is clamped between the two wafer clamps 9. The detector 13 can be an infrared sensor or other detectors 13 that can detect whether the wafer is clamped between the two wafer clamps 9.
[0031] The detector 13 can be directly arranged on the driving structure for driving the wafer clamping jaws 9 to move, and move along with the wafer clamping jaws 9 to monitor in real time whether the wafer is clamped between the two wafer clamping jaws 9 .
[0032] The film box transport mechanism 3 includes a film box clamp 14 with translation and lifting functions, a lifting lifter 15 with lifting function, and a transporter 16 that moves toward or away from the lifting lifter 15 and has lifting function. The transporter 16 drives the film box positioning member 5 to move. The lifting lifter 15 is U-shaped, and the opening of the lifting lifter 15 is arranged toward the film box positioning member 5. The part of the film box positioning member 5 for lifting the film box is two U-shaped parts 17 with openings facing back to back. The upper surfaces of the two U-shaped parts 17 are the lifting parts for lifting the film box. The upper surface of the U-shaped part 17 can be set The surface is bent upward to form a limit plate 7, and the two ends of the U-shaped opening of the lifting and lifting device 15 are inwardly provided with support blocks 34 matching the inner cavity of the U-shaped part 17. The support blocks 34 can be integrated with the lifting and lifting device 15 to improve the structural strength. The U-shaped inner cavity area of the lifting and lifting device 15 is larger than the occupied area of the two U-shaped parts 17. The transporter 16 carries the film box positioning part 5 to slide into the U-shaped inner cavity of the lifting and lifting device 15 and moves downward to transport the film box to the lifting and lifting device 15.

[0033] A clamping block 18 is provided on the upper surface of the lifting support 15 for clamping the film box to improve the stability when driving the film box to move. The principle of clamping the film box by the clamping block 18 is the same as the clamping principle of the limit plate 7. When setting the clamping block 18, it is necessary to ensure that the inner cavity of the U-shaped part 17 can pass through the support block 34 and the clamping block 18.
[0034] In this embodiment, the film box clamping claw 14 includes a telescope 19, two sliders 20 and two film box clamping arms 22. The two film box clamping arms 22 are slidably arranged on the clamping arm slide rail 21 through the slider 20. The telescopic direction of the telescope 19 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the film box clamping arms 22. L-shaped connecting rods 23 are hinged on both sides of the telescopic end of the telescope 19. The end of the L-shaped connecting rod 23 away from the telescope 19 is hinged to the slider 20. When the telescope 19 is telescoped, the L-shaped connecting rods 23 on both sides are driven to swing. When the L-shaped connecting rod 23 swings, the end away from the telescope 19 will produce lateral movement, thereby driving the slider 20 to slide on the clamping arm slide rail 21, thereby adjusting the distance between the two film box clamping arms 22. In this embodiment, the two film box clamping arms 22 drive the film box to move through the flange protruding outward from the top of the film box; in other embodiments, other clamping claws that can clamp the film box can be selected.
[0035] Since the cleaning process takes longer time than the transport of the cassette, a support plate 24 for supporting the cassette may be provided on one side of the movement path of the cassette clamp 14 . When the wafer is cleaned, the cassette may be placed on the support plate 24 to wait.
[0036] The wafer cleaning mechanism 4 includes a first process tank 25, a second process tank 26, a third process tank 27 and a fourth process tank 28 arranged along the wafer transfer mechanism 2. The four process tanks correspond to the pre-cleaning process, chemical cleaning process, final cleaning process and drying process of the wafer respectively.
[0037] The loading and unloading mechanism 1 , the wafer transfer mechanism 2 , the cassette transfer mechanism 3 and the wafer cleaning mechanism 4 are all arranged in a cabinet 29 , and the cabinet 29 is provided with an observation window 30 for observing the interior and an inspection door 31 for detection and maintenance.
[0038] The cabinet 29 is provided with inlet and outlet ports 32 corresponding to the loading and unloading mechanisms 1 at both ends.
[0039] Since the actual factory may involve the transportation of wafer boxes that do not require cleaning, an overall transfer mechanism 33 with translation and lifting functions is also provided, which is used to transfer the wafer boxes carrying the wafers as a whole. The movement path of the overall transfer mechanism 33 is located on one side of the wafer transfer mechanism 2, and loading and unloading platforms are provided at the front and rear ends of the movement path of the overall transfer mechanism 33. The loading and unloading platforms can be integrated on the loading and unloading mechanism 1, and the structure of the loading and unloading platforms can be the same as the lifting part 8, that is, lifting parts 8 are provided on both sides of the loading and unloading mechanism 1, and the lifting parts 8 on both sides of the loading and unloading mechanisms 1 at both ends correspond one to one, and the corresponding lifting parts 8 on one side correspond to the movement path of the wafer transfer mechanism 2, and the corresponding lifting parts 8 on the other side correspond to the movement path of the overall transfer mechanism 33.
[0040] In this embodiment, the overall transfer mechanism 33 has the same structure as the wafer transfer mechanism 2 .
[0041] In this embodiment, the shorter distances of the movement of the wafer support plate 6, the lifting part 8, the wafer clamp 9, the wafer box clamp 14, the lifting lift 15, and the transporter 16 can be controlled by the electric / pneumatic / hydraulic telescopic rod, and the longer distances can be controlled by the reduction motor. The principle of the reduction motor control is: a track is set on the movement path, a rack is set on the track, the reduction motor is connected to the device that needs to move, and the reduction motor drives the gear to move, and the gear is engaged with the rack on the track. In this way, when the reduction motor drives the gear to move, the gear can be moved on the rack.
[0042] During actual use, a film box with wafers is placed at the inlet and outlet 32 on the feed side of the cabinet 29, the lifting part 8 lifts the film box to the film box positioning member 5, and the film box is transferred to the film box positioning member 5, the wafer support plate 6 moves upward to push the wafer out of the film box, and after the wafer clamp 9 clamps the wafer, the wafer support plate 6 drops back to its original position; the wafer clamp 9 drives the wafer to pass through the first process slot 25, the second process slot 26, the third process slot 27 and the fourth process slot 28 in sequence, and then enters the loading and unloading mechanism 1 on the discharge side to wait for the wafer to be placed on the wafer support plate 6; the transporter 16 moves the film box after the wafer is clamped to one side, and by adjusting the height of the film box, the U-shaped member 17 passes through the support block 34 and enters the inside of the lifting lifter 15, and then the height of the film box positioning member 5 is lowered by the transporter 16 to transfer the film box to the lifting lifter 15. After the transfer, the transporter 16 drives the film box positioning member 5 back to its original position Waiting to receive the next cassette; the lifting and lifting device 15 drives the cassette to move upward, and after moving to a certain height, the cassette clamping claws 14 are used to clamp the cassette and move it to the supporting plate 24. When the wafer cleaning is about to be completed, the cassette clamping claws 14 clamp the cassette on the supporting plate 24 and place it on the lifting and lifting device 15 on the discharge side. The lifting and lifting device 15 on the discharge side drives the cassette to move downward, and then the transporter 16 of the loading and unloading mechanism 1 on the discharge side drives the cassette positioning member 5 to rise from the lifting and lifting device 15 to lift the cassette, and drives the cassette positioning member 5 to slide out of the U-shaped opening of the lifting and lifting device 15. The transporter 16 drives the cassette positioning member 5 to move to the position corresponding to the lifting part 8, and the wafer support plate 6 extends out. After the wafer clamping claws 9 place the cleaned wafer on the wafer support plate 6, the wafer support plate 6 descends to realize the wafer assembly into the cassette, and the cassette of the assembled wafer is driven by the lifting part 8 to the inlet and outlet 32 on the discharge side of the cabinet 29.
