[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and their technical features can be combined with each other.

[0024] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a wafer grabbing device according to an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a wafer grabbing device in a wafer grabbing state according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1-2 As shown, the wafer grabbing device 1 comprises: substrate 40; A limiting module 60 is disposed at the first end of the substrate and is used to limit the wafer; A movable grip is arranged at the second end of the substrate and is used to be in a gripping state under the action of an external force, and the distance from the limit module to the movable grip is greater than the distance from the wafer carrying part to the inlet and outlet of the wafer cleaning device 2; A movable plate is arranged on the base plate through a reset device, a first end of the movable plate is connected to the clamping wheel, and a second end of the movable plate is movably connected to the movable handle; When the movable handle is in a gripping state, the movable handle drives the movable plate to move to a first position, thereby driving the clamping wheel to move to a non-clamping position to release the wafer; when the movable handle is in a non-clamping state, the reset device drives the movable plate to move to a second position, thereby driving the clamping wheel to move to a clamping position to clamp the wafer.

[0025] like Figure 3As shown, when obtaining the wafer, the operator applies external force to the movable handle 10, and the movable handle 10 drives the movable plate 20 and the clamping wheel 50 to move to a non-clamping position in a direction away from the limit module 60 under the action of the external force. After that, the wafer can enter the placement space defined by the limit module 60 corresponding to the size of the wafer. After the wafer is placed, the operator stops applying external force to the movable handle 10, and the reset module 30 drives the movable plate 20 to move to the second position, and the clamping wheel 50 also moves to a clamping position in a direction close to the limit module 60. At this time, the wafer is clamped by the clamping wheel 50 and the corresponding limit module 60 in the placement space, and the operator can place the limit module 60 on the wafer grasping device 1 into the wafer cleaning device 2 through the inlet and outlet of the wafer cleaning device 2. After the limiting module 60 and the wafer are moved into the wafer cleaning device 2, and the placement space where the wafer is located is located directly above the wafer supporting part of the wafer cleaning device 2, the operator applies an external force to the movable handle 10. The movable handle 10 drives the movable plate 20 to move to the first position under the action of the external force, and the clamping wheel 50 also moves in the direction away from the limiting module 60 to the non-clamping position, so that the wafer falls out of the placement space under the action of gravity and is then placed in the wafer supporting part.

[0026] It should be noted that there can be multiple limit modules 60, corresponding to wafers of different sizes. For example, the multiple limit modules 60 can include a limit module 60 corresponding to a four-inch wafer, a limit module 60 corresponding to a six-inch wafer, and a limit module 60 corresponding to an eight-inch wafer. In addition, the distance from the limit module 60 to the movable handle 10 is greater than the distance from the wafer carrying part of the wafer cleaning device 2 to the entrance and exit, which can ensure that the operator's hand will not be inserted into the wafer cleaning device 2, avoiding the operator's hand from being contaminated with chemical liquid, and being accidentally injured by the wafer cleaning device 2 and causing danger.

[0027] Specifically, the reset module 30 includes an adjustment block 31 and a spring 32 , one end of the spring 32 is connected to the adjustment block 31 , the other end of the spring 32 is connected to the movable plate 20 , and the adjustment block 31 is connected to the base plate 40 .

[0028] When the operator applies external force to the movable handle 10, the movable handle 10 drives the movable plate 20 and the clamping wheel 50 to move in a direction away from the limit module 60 under the action of the external force. At this time, since the adjustment block 31 is fixed on the base plate 40, the movable plate 20 is displaced toward the adjustment block 31, resulting in the compression of the spring 32. When the operator stops applying external force to the movable handle 10, the spring 32 applies elastic force to the movable plate 20 to reset the movable plate 20. By providing the adjustment block 31 and the spring 32, the movable plate 20 moving in a direction away from the limit module 60 can be reset in time when the operator stops applying external force, thereby improving the efficiency of clamping the wafer.

[0029] The number of the springs includes a plurality, and the plurality of springs are arranged side by side in the length direction of the substrate and are symmetrically distributed about a center line in the length direction of the substrate.

[0030] The plurality of springs are arranged side by side in the length direction of the substrate, which means that the length direction of the springs is the same as the length direction of the substrate, and the arrangement direction of the plurality of springs is the width direction of the substrate.

[0031] The multiple springs are symmetrically distributed about the center line in the length direction of the substrate, which means that there can be two or more springs, and the center lines of the two or more springs in the length direction of the substrate overlap with the center line in the length direction of the substrate.

[0032] Through this arrangement, the overall force of the wafer grasping device 1 can be balanced, thereby improving the stability of the wafer grasping device in grasping the wafer.

[0033] Specifically, the wafer grasping device 1 further includes: a fixed handle 70 , the fixed handle 70 is connected to the base plate 40 , and the second end of the fixed handle 70 is connected to the first end of the movable handle 10 .

[0034] The first end of the movable handle 10 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 11 symmetrically distributed about the center line in the length direction of the substrate, and the second end of the movable plate 20 is provided with a plurality of slide grooves 21 symmetrically distributed about the center line in the length direction of the substrate, and the protrusions 11 are arranged in the slide grooves 21 and move in the slide grooves 21.

[0035] When the operator applies external force to the movable handle 10, the protrusion 11 moves in the slide groove 21, thereby driving the movable plate 20 to move in a direction away from the limit module 60. By providing the protrusion 11 and the slide groove 21, the movement of the movable plate 20 can be smoother and more stable. In addition, the protrusion 11 and the slide groove 21 are also symmetrical about the center line in the length direction of the substrate, further ensuring the force balance of the wafer grasping device 1.

[0036] When the operator does not need to apply pressure to the movable handle 10 but needs to apply external force to the wafer grasping device 1, for example, when moving the wafer grasping device 1, this can be achieved by grasping the fixed handle 70, thereby preventing the operator from accidentally applying pressure to the movable handle 10, which may cause the wafer to be clamped to be loosened. In addition, the movable handle 10 and the fixed handle 70 are arranged adjacent to each other and extend in the moving direction of the movable plate 20. The wafer grasping device arranged in this way has good balance when grasping the wafer, which can ensure that the pick-up and placement device can operate stably, and the adjacent movable handle 10 and the fixed handle 70 are also convenient for two-handed operation, which can reduce the operating difficulty of the operator.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the operator can take and place the wafer through the wafer grasping device 1, which can ensure that the operator's hands are always kept outside the wafer processing equipment, thereby avoiding the risk of the operator putting his hands into the equipment and being contaminated by chemical liquid or being injured. In addition, since the wafer grasping device 1 is provided with a plurality of limit modules 60 corresponding to wafers of different sizes, the operator can take and place wafers of various specifications through the wafer grasping device 1, and there is no need to adjust the wafer grasping device 1, which is convenient to operate.

[0038] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of a wafer grabbing device including a guide rail according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, the wafer grasping device 1 also includes: multiple groups of sliders 80 and guide rails 90, the guide rails 90 are arranged on the substrate 40, the sliders 80 are connected to the movable plate, the sliders 80 are slidably arranged on the guide rails 90, and the center lines of the multiple groups of sliders and guide rails in the sliding direction overlap with the center lines of the substrate in the length direction. Through the multiple groups of sliders 80 and guide rails 90, the movement process of the substrate can be ensured to be smooth, and the stability of the wafer grasping device 1 is ensured.

[0039] When the movable plate 20 is driven by the movable handle 10 or driven by the reset module 30, the movable plate 20 will simultaneously drive the slider 80 to move. Since the slider 80 is sleeved on the guide rail 90, the movable plate 20 is limited to move in a direction away from the limit module 60 or in a direction close to the limit module 60. Specifically, a plurality of guide rails 90 may be provided, and a plurality of sliders 80 may be provided on one guide rail 90. The more the number of guide rails 90 and sliders 80, the smoother the movement of the movable plate 20.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the guide rail 90 , the movement direction of the movable panel 20 can be further limited, and the slider 80 can also stabilize the movable panel 20 .

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, there are multiple clamping wheels, and the center lines of the multiple clamping wheels in the length direction of the substrate overlap with the center lines in the length direction of the substrate to further ensure the stability of grasping the wafer.

[0042] In the present application, the distance from the limit module to the movable handle is greater than the distance from the wafer supporting part to the inlet and outlet of the wafer cleaning device, which will cause the length of the substrate to be too long and the distance between the movable handle and the wafer to be far. If the movable handle is not held stably and shakes, the shake transmitted to the wafer may be amplified. By combining springs, bumps, slide rails and guide rails, clamping wheels, etc. symmetrically distributed about the center line in the length direction of the substrate, the stability of the wafer grasping device can be improved. Even if the movable handle is not held stably and shakes, the shake transmitted to the wafer part is smaller.

[0043] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of a wafer grabbing device including a cover according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the wafer grabbing device 1 further includes a cover 12 , and the cover 12 is connected to the substrate 40 .

[0044] The projections of the slider 80 , the guide rail 09 , the reset module 30 and the slide groove 21 on the base plate 40 are located within the projection of the cover 12 on the base plate 40 .

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a cover outside the slider 80, the guide rail 09, the reset module 30 and the slide groove 21, the slider 80, the guide rail 09, the reset module 30 and the slide groove 21 can be protected to avoid damage caused by the invasion of contaminants, thereby improving the service life of the wafer grasping device 1.

[0046] Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a wafer grabbing device including a hanging ring according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the wafer grasping device 1 further includes: a hanging ring 13 , and the hanging ring 13 is connected to the first end of the fixed handle 70 through a connecting block 14 .

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a hanging ring 13 at the first end of the fixed handle 70, the wafer grasping device 1 can be hung on a wall or other location when the wafer grasping device 1 is not in use, so as to facilitate the storage of the wafer grasping device 1.

[0048] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a wafer grasping device including a grasping portion according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 The movable handle 10 further includes a gripping portion 15 , which is disposed on the outer surface of the movable handle 10 .

[0049] The shape of the gripping portion 15 may correspond to the position of fingers when a person grips the hand.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a gripping portion 15 on the outer surface of the movable handle 10 , it is convenient for an operator to apply an external force to the movable handle 10 , thereby improving the user experience of the operator.

[0051] Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of a wafer grabbing device according to another embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the limiting module 60 includes: a plurality of limiting blocks, each of which includes a limiting portion and a bearing portion, wherein a height of the limiting portion along a direction perpendicular to the substrate is higher than a height of the bearing portion along a direction perpendicular to the substrate.

[0052] The placement space for accommodating wafers is defined by the limiting parts and the bearing parts in the plurality of limiting modules 60. The bearing parts are used to bear the wafers, and when the limiting parts are in contact with the side of the wafers, the wafers can be limited. For example, the limiting module 60 corresponding to the four-inch wafer includes four limiting blocks. When the four-inch wafer is placed in the placement space, the bearing parts of the four limiting blocks are in contact with the bottom surface of the wafer, thereby bearing the wafer. After the reset module 30 drives the movable plate 20 and the clamping wheel 50 to move in the direction close to the limiting module 60, the wafer is clamped in the placement space by the clamping wheel 50 and the limiting parts of at least some of the limiting blocks in the four limiting blocks.

[0053] Specifically, the height of the limiting module 60 along the direction perpendicular to the substrate is positively correlated with the size of the wafer corresponding to the limiting module 60 .

[0054] Since the wafer grasping device 1 supports the placement of wafers of various sizes, the positions of the limit modules 60 corresponding to wafers of different sizes are different. At the same time, in order to avoid the large-sized wafers being affected by the limit modules 60 corresponding to the small-sized wafers, the height of the limit module 60 along the direction perpendicular to the substrate is set to be positively correlated with the size of the wafer corresponding to the limit module 60, that is, the height of the limit module 60 corresponding to the larger-sized wafer along the direction perpendicular to the substrate is higher than the height of the limit module 60 corresponding to the smaller-sized wafer along the direction perpendicular to the substrate.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, since the limiting block includes a limiting portion and a bearing portion, it can limit the wafer and support the wafer at the same time. Combined with the clamping wheel 50, the wafer can be clamped more stably.

[0056] When using the wafer grasping device 1 , the movable handle 10 and the fixed handle 70 can be respectively held with both hands, and the wafer grasping device 1 can be moved above or below the wafer to be grasped.

[0057] Then, the movable handle 10 can be gripped to drive the movable plate 20 and the clamping wheel 50 to move in a direction away from the limiting module 60 .

[0058] The movable handle 10 and the fixed handle 70 are moved by hand to allow the wafer to enter the placement space defined by the limiting module 60 corresponding to the size of the wafer. After entering, the movable handle 10 is released to allow the clamping wheel 50 to clamp the wafer.

[0059] The wafer is carried to the wafer processing area by holding the movable handle 10 and the fixed handle 70, that is, the cavity for processing the wafer, see Figure 3 , the handheld part is located outside the cavity of the wafer processing equipment.

[0060] After confirming that the wafer is in the correct position, the movable handle 10 is gripped to drive the movable plate 20 and the clamping wheel 50 to move in a direction away from the limiting module 60, the wafer is placed in the wafer processing equipment, and then the wafer grasping device 1 is moved out of the wafer processing equipment.
