Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of protective conveying technology, and more specifically, to a protective conveying carrier for semiconductor production. Background Art
[0002] In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, wafers are core components, and every link in their production process is crucial. Especially in the transportation link after wafer cutting, there are currently many problems that need to be solved urgently.
[0003] With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the production efficiency of wafers is becoming increasingly higher. However, after cutting, the existing wafers are usually transported and transported one by one. This traditional transportation method is extremely inefficient. In the large-scale production process, a large number of wafers need to be transferred from the cutting station to subsequent packaging and other processes. Transporting them one by one not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but also seriously limits the speed of the entire production process, and cannot meet the needs of the rapid development of the modern semiconductor industry.
[0004] At the same time, the wafer is rectangular after cutting, and its four corners are extremely fragile and easily damaged. In the existing transportation process of packaging after cutting, there is a lack of efficient and well-protected devices designed specifically for the special shape and fragility of wafers, and in most cases, clamps are used for placement and transportation, and the clamps often cannot provide effective protection for the four corners of the wafer. During transportation, due to vibration, collision or other unexpected situations, the four corners of the wafer are prone to defects such as edge collapse and cracks, which leads to a decrease in the yield of the wafer and increases production costs. Moreover, once the wafer is damaged during transportation, it will not only cause the scrapping of the wafer itself, but may also have an adverse effect on subsequent production processes, further reducing production efficiency and product quality.
[0005] In summary, the existing method of transporting wafers after cutting has the problems of low transport efficiency and insufficient protection of wafers. There is an urgent need for a protective transport vehicle for semiconductor production that can improve the transport efficiency and have good protection performance. In view of this, we propose a protective transport vehicle for semiconductor production. Summary of the invention

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. The present invention improves the existing conveying carrier for semiconductor wafer production, arranges a wafer receiving mechanism on the conveying mechanism, places the wafer to be cut on the wafer carrying component, cuts the wafer into rectangular sheets by a laser cutting mechanism, and then transmits it to a position directly below the vacuum suction cup mechanism by the conveying mechanism, first lifts up the rectangular sheet wafer by a lifting component, drives the first spacing component, the second spacing component and the telescopic spring block by adjusting the driving component to disperse the sheet rectangular wafer on the carrier component, and finally protects and adsorbs it by the vacuum suction cup mechanism. The present invention has the function of quickly dispersing the sheet rectangular wafer, greatly improves the production efficiency, enables more wafers to be processed per unit time, and meets the urgent demand of the modern semiconductor industry for high output.
[0021] 2. In the present invention, by driving the servo motor, the servo motor drives the first gear and the second gear to rotate synchronously, the first gear meshes with the first straight tooth groove to make the first insertion rod slide on the first insertion hole of the first fixed ring, the first insertion rod drives the connecting rod at the other end to move outward, and the connecting rod drives the telescopic spring block fixedly connected at both ends to move outward, when the other end of the telescopic spring block is separated from the first fixed ring, the telescopic spring block separates the sheet wafers on the three carrier assemblies.

This rapid dispersion action can be closely connected with the subsequent adsorption operation, reducing the exposure time of the wafer to the air, reducing the possibility of the wafer being contaminated by dust and impurities, and further ensuring the quality of the wafer and the performance stability of the product.
[0022] 3.

[0070] Then drive the servo motor 7031, the servo motor 7031 drives the first gear 7032 and the second gear 7033 to rotate synchronously, the first gear 7032 meshes with the first straight tooth groove 7044 to make the first plug rod 7043 slide on the first plug hole 7042 of the first fixed ring 7041, the first plug rod 7043 drives the connecting rod 7045 at the other end to move outward, and the connecting rod 7045 drives the telescopic elastic block 706 fixedly connected at both ends to move outward; when the second gear 7033 rotates, the servo motor 7031 meshes with the second straight tooth groove 7054 to make the second plug rod 7053 slide on the second plug hole 7052 of the second fixed ring 7051, and the second plug rod 7053 053 drives the telescopic spring block 706 at the other end to move outward. When the first plug rod 7043 and the second plug rod 7053 move outward synchronously and expand, the telescopic male head 7061, the telescopic female head 7062, the plug block 7063 and the slot 7064 are driven to move outward synchronously. When the end of the telescopic female head 7062 away from the telescopic male head 7061 is separated from the outer walls of the first fixing ring 7041 and the second fixing ring 7051, the elastic force of the spring 7065 causes the plug block 7063 to slide in the slot 7064, so that the telescopic male head 7061 is separated from the telescopic female head 7062, driving the carrier assembly 707 and the sheet wafer thereon to separate, thereby achieving a dispersion effect.
[0071] Finally, the hydraulic cylinder on the support frame 8 is driven to lower the rotating seat 5, and then the motor is driven to drive the rotating seat 5 to drive the carrier 607, the hanging tube 605, the diffusion plate 604 and the protective plate 601 to move to the top of the dispersed sheet wafers, and the air pump is driven to form a negative pressure inside the several retention grooves 602 through the suction pipe 606, the hanging tube 605, the diffusion plate 604 and the suction hole 603, so that the dispersed sheet wafers are sucked and transported to the subsequent packaging process.
