Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wafer detection equipment, and in particular to a wafer adjustment platform. Background Art
[0002] A wafer refers to a silicon chip used in the manufacture of silicon semiconductor integrated circuits. It is round in shape, and the wafer needs to be placed on a wafer turntable. The wafer needs to be etched multiple times during photolithography. A bottom sensor is needed on the wafer turntable to determine whether the wafer is placed back accurately and to determine the subsequent processing height to ensure accurate and stable processing. The bottom sensor is installed inside the wafer turntable, with the bottom of the wafer turntable as a reference. Currently, the bottom sensor includes a sensor head and a cylinder that drives the sensor head to rise and fall. An airflow interface is connected to the cylinder, and then the cylinder is directly fixed to the bottom of the wafer turntable. The installation and fixation are relatively cumbersome, and when the cylinder or sensor head needs to be replaced, the air pipes on the airflow interface need to be unplugged one by one. The disassembly is also very cumbersome, and the bottom of the cylinder cannot effectively ensure that the installation is flush, affecting the accuracy of the bottom measurement, and the wafer turntable is provided with a carrier. The corresponding wafer is adsorbed and placed on the wafer holding table, and the wafer holding table needs to ensure the level of the end face to ensure that the wafer can be in a horizontal state during etching. Therefore, the wafer holding table needs to perform horizontal adjustment of the end face on the wafer turntable. Patent No. 202223067713.9 discloses a turntable adjustment mechanism and a detection device. The turntable adjustment mechanism drives the lead screw to rotate through a driving member, thereby driving the moving block to move linearly, and the moving block is connected to the rotating plate through a connecting assembly. The moving block moves linearly. In order to enable the rotating plate to rotate in a circle, guide rails, bearings and other components are also provided on the connecting assembly. Therefore, the complexity of the structure is increased when the drive is rotated, and the lead screw and nut also require a higher matching accuracy, which will also increase the complexity of the structure and increase the cost of use; at the same time, the wafer turntable cannot be adjusted horizontally, which affects the etching accuracy of the wafer.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, a vertical slide 29 is provided on the upper disk 3, and a support seat 30 for supporting the ejector 7 is fixedly mounted on the vertical slide 29, and a horizontally extending strip through hole 31 is provided below the support seat 30, and the ejector 7 lifting power device comprises an ejector drive motor 33 fixedly mounted on the upper disk 3, and an eccentric rotating rod 32 is connected to the output end of the ejector drive motor 33, and the eccentric rotating rod 32 is constrained in the strip through hole 31; a mounting plate 38 for supporting the ejector drive motor 33 is provided in the middle of the upper disk 3, and the mounting plate 38 allows the ejector drive motor 33 to be placed horizontally, and then drives the eccentric rotating rod 32 to rotate, so that the eccentric rotating rod 32 drives the support seat 30 with the strip through hole 31 to rise and fall, and the support seat 30 slides along the vertical slide 29, and the lifting and lowering are accurate, ensuring that the wafer can be accurately supported and landed on the wafer placement table 6.
[0044] like Figure 5As shown, the end of the pushing block 13 is provided with an arc protrusion 34, and the arc protrusion 34 is close to the side of the rotating connecting rod 12. The bottom plate 1 is provided with a sliding guide rail 35, and the pushing block 13 is slidably installed on the bottom plate 1 through the sliding guide rail 35; the pushing block 13 is not fixedly connected to the rotating connecting rod 12, so it will deviate when pushing the rotating connecting rod 12 to rotate, and the arc protrusion 34 can facilitate the relative movement with the rotating connecting rod 12 when pushing the rotating connecting rod 12, and ensure that the pushing can also be stable and accurate, and when the arc protrusion 34 pushes the rotating connecting rod 12, since there is a certain distance between the rotating connecting rod 12 and the wafer turntable 2, when rotating the same angle, the rotating connecting rod 12 is stable. The swing distance of the connecting rod 12 can be much greater than the rotation distance of the wafer turntable 2, so the influence of the swing error of the rotating connecting rod 12 can be reduced and the use effect can be improved. The linear propulsion power device includes a voice coil motor 36, which is fixedly mounted on the motor fixing plate 37 and drives the push block 13 to move horizontally and linearly. The voice coil motor 36 has the characteristics of simple structure, small size, high speed, high acceleration and fast response, so the structure can be made more compact. The sliding guide rail 35 is a cross ball guide rail, one part of which is fixed to the push block 13, and the other part is fixed to the base plate 1, so that the push plate can slide linearly and the direction of linear movement can be effectively determined.
[0045] The reset structure includes a reset fixing rod 39 vertically fixed on the base plate 1, and a reset tension spring 40 is provided between the reset fixing rod 39 and the end of the rotating connecting rod 12; the reset tension spring 40 can always pull the rotating connecting rod 12, so that the rotating connecting rod 12 can be pulled back and cooperated with the push block 13 to complete the rotation of the wafer turntable 2. The structure is simple and easy to use. The connection between the reset tension spring 40 and the end of the rotating connecting rod 12 can maximize the force of the reset pull rope spring and improve the reset effect.
[0046] The limiting structure includes limiting bars 41 located on both sides of the rotating connecting rod 12, and the limiting bars 41 are fixedly mounted on the base plate 1; the base plate 1 is also provided with a sensing device for detecting the moving position of the push plate, and the sensing device cooperates with the limiting bars 41 to limit the position; there are two limiting bars 41, which are respectively located on both sides of the rotating connecting rod 12, effectively blocking the swing range of the rotating connecting rod 12, preventing the wafer turntable 2 from rotating excessively, and improving the rotation accuracy; the sensing device is a grating ruler 42, and the grating ruler 42 is fixed on the push block 13 to detect the moving distance of the push block 13; because the push block 13 pushes the rotating connecting rod 12, the rotating connecting rod 12 can only swing back and forth between the limiting bars 41, and the extension distance of the push block 13 corresponds to the rotation angle of the wafer turntable 2, so the distance moved by the push block 13 can be accurately obtained by detecting the grating ruler 42, thereby ensuring accurate rotation and improving the use effect.
[0047] The bottom plate 1 is fixedly provided with a cover shell 43 covering the pushing block 13 ; the cover shell 43 cooperates with the motor fixing plate 37 to effectively protect the pushing block 13 to push safely and stably.
[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, the mounting base 15 is provided with an insertion port 21, the bottom of the sensor driving cylinder 16 is provided with a pipe protrusion 44 that cooperates with the insertion port 21, the upper end surface of the mounting base 15 is located at the edge of the insertion port 21 and is provided with a sealing groove 45, and the sealing groove 45 is provided with a sealing ring that seals with the lower end surface of the pipe protrusion 44; the connection or disconnection with the airflow channel 17 can be completed by inserting or pulling out the pipe protrusion 44, and the sealing ring can effectively improve the sealing effect, so that the sensor driving cylinder 16 is more stable.
[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, the auxiliary fixing device includes an auxiliary rod 46 vertically fixedly installed on the upper disc 3, and a fixed clamping block 47 that clamps each other is provided between the auxiliary rod 46 and the sensor driving cylinder 16; there are three accommodating grooves 14 on the upper disc 3, so there are three mounting bases 15 corresponding to the three accommodating grooves 14 respectively, so each mounting base 15 is inserted and installed with the sensor driving cylinder 16, and then the auxiliary rod 46 is arranged in parallel with the sensor driving cylinder 16, and then the sensor driving cylinder 16 can be effectively fixed with the auxiliary rod 46 as a reference through the fixed clamping block 47, and the fixed clamping block 47 has a simple structure and is easy to use; the fixed clamping block 47 is two fixed half clamping blocks set in mirror image, and a semicircular groove 52 is provided on the fixed half clamping block that fits the auxiliary rod 46 and the sensor driving cylinder 16, so that the semicircular grooves 52 on the two fixed half clamping blocks form a whole circular groove to fix the auxiliary rod 46 and the sensor driving cylinder 16.
[0050] The auxiliary fixing device also includes an auxiliary positioning member 49, on which an inner positioning sleeve 491 sleeved on the auxiliary rod 46 and an outer positioning sleeve 492 sleeved on the sensor driving cylinder are provided, and the fixing clamp 47 is located above the auxiliary positioning member 49; the auxiliary rod 46 is provided with a limiting step 48, and the inner positioning sleeve 491 abuts against the limiting step 48; first, the auxiliary positioning member 49 is sleeved on the sensor driving cylinder 16, and then the inner positioning sleeve 491 of the auxiliary positioning member 49 is sleeved on the auxiliary rod 46, Then insert the sensor driving cylinder 16 into the mounting base 15 to complete the cooperation between the sensor driving cylinder 16 and the mounting base 15, and then fix the fixing clamp 47 on the auxiliary positioning member 49 to further ensure stable fixation and effectively press the sensor driving cylinder 16 on the mounting base 15; the limiting step 48 clamps the inner positioning sleeve 491, so as to ensure that the auxiliary positioning member 49 will not fall, thereby limiting the auxiliary rod 46 and the sensor driving cylinder 16 at a certain height, so that the sensor driving cylinder 16 can be installed more accurately and the constraint is stable and reliable.
[0051] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the accommodating groove 14 is a straight line hole, and a mounting pad 51 that fits in the straight line hole is provided below the mounting base 15. The mounting pad 51 is installed in the straight line hole, and the mounting base 15 and the mounting pad 51 are detachably fixed, and the outlet of the airflow channel 17 is arranged on the side of the mounting base 15; the mounting pad 51 is first fixedly installed in the straight line hole, and then the mounting base 15 is installed on the mounting pad 51, to ensure the leakage of the airflow channel 17 on the mounting base 15, to facilitate connection, and also to facilitate replacement, thereby improving convenience.
[0052] In this embodiment, the number of the bottom measuring sensors 8 is three and they are evenly distributed around the circumference, the number of the corresponding sensor driving cylinders 16 is also three, and the auxiliary positioning member 49 also includes a connecting rod portion 50 that connects the outer positioning sleeve portion 492 in sequence; in this way, the auxiliary positioning member 49 forms a whole, which constrains the three bottom measuring sensors 8. In this way, the auxiliary positioning member 49 can ensure that the corresponding sensor driving cylinder 16 and the corresponding auxiliary rod 46 are effectively arranged in parallel, and at the same time, the three sensor driving cylinders 16 can restrict each other, further improving the installation accuracy, and the three sensor driving cylinders 16 can be inserted into the corresponding mounting base 15 at the same time, which is convenient for installation and improves the use effect.
[0053] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: first, the wafer is placed on the ejector pin 7, and the eccentric rotating rod 32 is driven to rotate by the ejector pin driving motor 33, so that the support seat 30 descends along the vertical slide seat 29, and the wafer falls on the wafer placement table 6. The negative pressure system evacuates air through the negative pressure exhaust hole to complete the adsorption of the wafer, and then the sensor driving cylinder 16 drives the bottom measuring sensor 8 to rise, and detects whether the distances between each bottom measuring sensor 8 and the wafer placement table 6 are the same. The workbench 5 lifting cylinder drives the sliding seat to lift and slide. When the four sliding seats are lifted synchronously, the workbench 5 can be lifted as a whole. When horizontal adjustment is required, the sliding seats on the same diameter are lifted and lowered. When the two X sliding seats 20 are lifted and lowered, the Y connecting block 26 on the X sliding seat 20 is twisted. The Y connecting block 26 on the Y sliding seat 22 is also twisted, and the gaps on both sides of the Y connecting block 26 are compressed and expanded respectively, so that the wafer placement table 6 can be effectively adjusted horizontally. When the two Y sliding seats 22 are lifted or lowered, the X connecting block 25 on the Y sliding seat 22 is twisted, and the X connecting block 23 on the X sliding seat 20 is also twisted to complete the corresponding horizontal adjustment. Then, the voice coil motor 36 drives the push block 13 to push linearly, and the arc protrusion 34 pushes up the rotating connecting rod 12 to drive the upper disc 3 to rotate. Then, the voice coil motor 36 drives the push block 13 to retract, and the reset tension spring 40 drives the rotating connecting rod 12 to retract, so that the rotating connecting rod 12 is close to the arc protrusion 34, and the rotation angle of the wafer turntable 2 is adjusted to make the wafer correspond to a suitable etching position.
