[0074] Embodiment 2
[0075] Since the buffer pad 141 is prone to extrusion deformation and aging under the influence of temperature after being used multiple times and needs to be replaced; in order to further improve the practicability of the present application, increase its functions and make it have the function of automatically replacing the buffer pad 141 instead of manual labor, the embodiment of the present application is further expanded and optimized on the basis of the above embodiment, specifically:
[0076] As Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, the ion implanter of the present application includes a stage 120, a tray 200 and a displacement assembly 300;
[0077] The stage 120 is cylindrical and positioned on the top of the tray 200, and the number is multiple;

[0084] The limiting rod 145 is a hard round rod arranged horizontally, with its end fixed on the inner wall of the floating rod 140, disposed near the bottom of the front slot 144 and below the front slot 144; the distance between the limiting rod 145 and the inner wall of the floating rod 140 is 0.8 to 1 times the normal thickness of the buffer pad 141;
[0085] The buffer pad 141 sequentially passes through the space between the limiting rod 145 and the inner wall of the floating rod 140, the bottom of the front baffle 146, the top of the front baffle 146, and finally winds around the built-in reel 142; due to the existence of the limiting rod 145, the buffer pad 141 remains stationary under the action of friction;

[0088] When performing clamping and positioning for different times, the length of the support telescopic body 160 can be flexibly adjusted to improve the utilization rate of the buffer pad 141.
[0089] Preferably, the structure of the displacement assembly 300 in this application is the same as the structure of the wafer transfer assembly disclosed in the Chinese invention patent with the patent number CN202311811471.6; the cleaning assembly in this application can also clean and maintain the carrier tray, the fixed clamping sheet body, and the clamping soft block.

The supporting telescopic body (160) is a telescopic rod structure, which is arranged longitudinally, has a wheel body at the bottom, and a top fixed to the bottom of the floating rod (140); when clamping a wafer, the sliding block (130) slides to drive the floating rod (140) to move closer to and clamp the wafer; The floating rod (140) is a quadrangular prism-shaped hollow rod body, with a belt-shaped buffer pad (141), a built-in reel (142) and a limit rod (145) built in, and a rectangular front groove (144) is provided on the surface away from the sliding block (130); A front baffle plate (146) which is longitudinally arranged and in the shape of a rectangular plate is fixed on the front groove (144), and two sides of the front baffle plate (146) are fixed on the side walls of the front groove (144); The limiting rod (145) is a hard round rod arranged transversely, the end of which is fixed on the inner wall of the floating rod (140), and is arranged close to the bottom of the front groove (144) and below the front groove (144); The buffer pad (141) sequentially passes through between the limiting rod (145) and the inner wall of the floating rod (140), the bottom of the front baffle (146), the top of the front baffle (146), and is finally wound on the built-in reel (142).
6. The ion implanter with cleaning function as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that: The main body of the displacement component (300) is a clamping claw or a vacuum suction cup.
7. The ion implanter with cleaning function as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that: When performing different times of clamping and positioning, the length of the supporting telescopic body (160) is flexibly adjusted to thereby improve the utilization rate of the buffer pad (141).
8. The ion implanter with cleaning function as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that: The cleaning assembly can clean and maintain the carrying tray, the fixed clamping sheet and the clamping soft block.
9. The ion implanter with cleaning function as claimed in claim 5, characterized in that: Also included is an air guide block (480); The air guide block (480) is a columnar block, arranged longitudinally, with its top fixed to the bottom of the supporting horizontal plate (430) and surrounded by an annular frame (431); The bottom surface of the air guide block (480) is provided with an annular air suction groove (481), and the annular air suction groove (481) is connected to the air pump device (370); A ring-shaped heating body (482) is provided near the center of the bottom surface of the air guide block (480), and the ring-shaped heating body (482) is an electric heating wire, which plays a role of melting through the cleaning belt (452) after heating; The bottom surface of the air guide block (480) is provided with an air outlet groove (483) and an air intake groove (484), both of which are connected to the air pump device (370) and are surrounded by the ring-shaped heating body (482).
10. A method for cleaning an ion implanter, characterized in that: The ion implanter with cleaning function as claimed in claim 1 comprises the following steps: after the wafer on the carrier (120) is removed, the supporting stand (420) is controlled to move closer to the carrier (120), and the supporting horizontal plate (430) is moved to the top of the carrier (120); Thereafter, the air pump device (370) is controlled to operate, the amount of gas in the gas storage space is increased, thereby causing the cleaning belt (452) to deform and adhere closely to the carrier (120) and the components thereon, and then the cleaning belt (452) is controlled to contract to perform adhesive removal cleaning; after multiple adhesive removal actions, the components are reset.
