Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of laser processing technology, and in particular to a bidirectional laser silicon carbide ingot processing device and a processing method. Background Art

[0002] Laser processing uses the energy of light to reach a very high energy density at the focal point after being focused by a lens, and relies on the photothermal effect for processing. It uses the high energy and high focusing properties of the laser beam to heat, melt, evaporate, and burn the surface of the workpiece to achieve operations such as cutting, engraving, welding, punching, surface modification, and grinding of materials. It has the advantages of fast processing speed, small surface deformation, and the ability to process a variety of materials. Therefore, it is widely used in various industrial manufacturing fields.

[0003] Most of the existing laser processing technologies only use a single direction, such as cutting from top to bottom. When the side or bottom of the workpiece needs to be processed, the current laser processing needs to be stopped and the laser processing can only be performed again after the workpiece is flipped over. Or when the workpiece needs to be deeply cut, due to the large cutting depth, single-sided processing takes more time, and the width of the cutting groove will also increase accordingly. More material needs to be cut and removed, which consumes more energy and affects the efficiency of laser processing.

[0004] The existing method of processing workpieces using only single-wavelength lasers is difficult to meet the increasingly stringent requirements for workpiece processing efficiency and processing quality. Instead, there is a greater tendency to use dual-wavelength or multi-band lasers to process workpieces. However, the existing dual-wavelength or multi-band laser processing technology is not yet mature and there are still some problems that are not conducive to meeting complex processing requirements.

[0005] At the same time, in the existing laser processing technology, in conventional laser processing, since the conventional laser beam is a cone-shaped laser beam, it is difficult to achieve taper-free cutting, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall or cutting edge processed by the laser is not vertical, forming an inclined surface, and it is difficult to obtain a cylindrical shape with the side and bottom completely vertical, forming a frustum. Although the laser micro-water jet technology can be used to solve this problem and obtain high-quality processed walls and cutting edges, the equipment cost is high, and the high-power density laser in the water beam will cause a large loss of laser beam energy due to continuous reflection and absorption, which limits its high-power application and slows down the cutting speed; during the processing, due to the high energy density of the laser and the rapid heating and cooling process, micro cracks may be generated inside the material, affecting the quality and strength of the processed parts, especially precision workpieces, such as semiconductor silicon wafers, which directly affect the quality of the finished product; and the current water-guided laser processing technology is difficult to further improve its cutting accuracy due to the stability of the water beam, the effective length, and the size control of the laser spot, and has poor adaptability under different material and thickness conditions.

[0006] Therefore, new solutions need to be sought for the processing of materials such as silicon carbide ingots that are thick, hard, expensive, and high-precision. Summary of the invention

The sides of the light beam are parallel, so that the sides of the cut ingot are parallel to the central axis and perpendicular to the bottom of the ingot, so as to obtain a cylindrical ingot, which overcomes the defect of the cut side being tilted due to the tapered edge of the tapered laser beam when conventional laser cutting the side. Compared with the problems of high equipment cost, large laser energy loss, slow cutting speed, easy microcracks inside the precision material, poor stability, and difficulty in control in the water-guided laser technology, this scheme has many advantages such as simple structure, easy operation and control, and low cost. It is especially suitable for cutting silicon carbide ingots with large thickness, high hardness, and high precision. For silicon carbide ingot materials, The cutting of the side of the ingot adopts a layered step-by-step processing method, and the width becomes narrower layer by layer from top to bottom, and finally a V-shaped processing groove is formed in the vertical cross section, which can save the material to be cut and removed to the maximum extent, and also improve the processing efficiency. It is suitable for the processing of high-priced, thick, and hard silicon carbide ingots; by arranging two groups of lasers on the first laser component and the second laser component to emit two groups of laser beams of different bands, and coupling the two groups of lasers of different bands through a semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror, a dual-band laser beam is obtained, so that the laser beam can combine the advantages of two or more bands of lasers, and improve the intensity of laser output , improve the efficiency of laser processing, especially suitable for laser cutting of materials with large thickness and high hardness such as silicon carbide ingots; through the design of the first laser component, the second laser component and the linear motion modules and the rotating and swinging modules on the turntable, the first laser component and the second laser component and the turntable can cooperate with each other, and the ingot to be processed on the turntable can be processed at the same time, and the processing process is easy to control; by setting a ring positioning light that can be raised and lowered, positioning rings of different diameters can be obtained, and in conjunction with the linear motion module on the turntable, the automatic positioning and movement of the workpiece can be realized, further improving the efficiency and accuracy of laser processing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] A bidirectional laser silicon carbide ingot processing device, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a first laser component 1, a second laser component 2 and a turntable 3; the turntable 3 is used to carry and rotate the ingot 4 to be processed; the first laser component 1 includes a first laser 11, a first reflector 12 and a first laser focusing mirror 13, the laser emitted by the first laser 11 is reflected by the first reflector 12 and focused by the first laser focusing mirror 13 in sequence, and then the ingot 4 to be processed on the turntable 3 is processed vertically downward from top to bottom; the second laser component 2 includes a second laser 21, a second reflector 22, a third reflector 23, a fourth reflector 25 and a second laser focusing mirror 24, the laser emitted by the second laser 21 is reflected by the second reflector 22 and the third reflector 23 in sequence, focused by the second laser focusing mirror 24 and reflected by the fourth reflector 25, and then the ingot 4 to be processed on the turntable 3 is processed vertically upward from bottom to top. The first laser assembly 1 and the second laser assembly 2 process the crystal ingot 4 from the upper and lower directions respectively, and can grind and polish the upper and lower surfaces of the crystal ingot 4 at the same time, and can also cut the crystal ingot 4 at the same time, and jointly complete the cutting of the entire crystal ingot 4 in depth, so as to process the side surface 42 of the crystal ingot 4, which can improve the efficiency of laser processing and is different from unidirectional cutting ( Figure 2 , Figure 5 ) compared to Figure 6 As shown, the material removed by cutting can also be reduced (i.e., Figure 6 and Figure 5Compared with traditional cutting machines, the volume of the cutting groove is smaller), which maximizes the utilization of raw materials and reduces costs.

[0049] The second laser assembly 2 processes the crystal ingot 4 from bottom to top, with the laser pointing vertically upward. Generally, due to spatial layout issues, the laser is installed above the workpiece to be processed, so multiple reflectors are required to change the laser light path to save space as much as possible.

[0050] The turntable 3 includes a C-axis module 33, a B-axis module 32 and a processing seat 34. The C-axis module 33 is arranged on the B-axis module 32, and the processing seat 34 is installed on the C-axis module 33. The crystal ingot 4 to be processed is fixed on the processing seat 34. The C-axis module 33 is used to drive the crystal ingot 4 to be processed to rotate around its vertical center axis 41, and the B-axis module 32 is used to drive the crystal ingot 4 to be processed to swing in a vertical plane, so that the vertical center axis 41 of the crystal ingot 4 to be processed is inclined relative to the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) to eliminate the cutting effect of the conical laser beam 5 on the side 42 of the crystal ingot 4, thereby processing a cylindrical crystal ingot 4 with the side 42 completely perpendicular to the bottom surface.

[0051] The C-axis module 33 rotates the ingot 4 and cooperates with the laser to cut the side 42 of the ingot 4. The B-axis module 32 tilts the ingot 4 during processing. The central axis of the ingot 4 tilts at an angle relative to the vertical direction, which can eliminate the phenomenon that the side 42 of the processed ingot 4 has a certain taper due to the conical laser beam 5 and cannot be completely perpendicular to the bottom surface, and the ingot 4 presents a cone-shaped phenomenon with a small top and a large bottom (such as Figure 3 Specifically, the B-axis module 32 drives the ingot 4 to be processed to swing in a vertical plane. Figure 4 , Figure 6 , so that the vertical center axis 41 of the ingot 4 to be processed is deflected by an angle α relative to the vertical direction (Z-axis direction), α=θ / 2, where θ is the cone angle of the conical laser beam 5, and θ can be To calculate, then D is the diameter of the beam incident on the first laser focusing mirror 13, W D is the distance between the first laser focusing mirror 13 and its laser focus, which can also be replaced by focal length. In this way, the vertical center axis 41 of the ingot 4 and the side of the conical laser beam 5 close to the ingot 4 are parallel to each other. When the ingot 4 rotates around its vertical center axis 41, the area swept by the side of the conical laser beam 5 on the ingot 4 forms the side 42 of the ingot 4. The side 42 of the ingot 4 can be parallel to its vertical center axis 41, while the vertical center axis 41 of the ingot 4 is perpendicular to its bottom surface. In this way, the side 42 of the ingot 4 can be completely perpendicular to the bottom surface.

[0052] By controlling the parameters of the laser output by the first laser component 1 and the second laser component 2 to be consistent, the taper angle θ of the upper and lower processed conical laser beams 5 can be made consistent. The B-axis module 32 causes the crystal ingot 4 to deflect at an angle α=θ / 2. The side edges of the upper and lower conical laser beams 5 can be kept parallel to the vertical center axis 41 of the crystal ingot 4. The processed side edges can be parallel to the vertical center axis 41, thereby forming a cylindrical crystal ingot 4.

[0053] As one of the implementation methods, Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the B-axis module 32 includes a swing motor 321, a swing plate 322 and a swing arm 323, one end of the swing plate 322 is vertically connected to the output shaft of the swing motor 321, and the other end is vertically connected to the swing arm 323; the C-axis module 33 includes a rotating motor 331, the rotating motor 331 is installed on the swing arm 323, the processing seat 34 is drivingly connected to the rotating motor 331, and the rotating axis of the processing seat 34 is perpendicular to the rotating axis of the swing motor 321; a vacuum suction cup 35 is arranged on the top of the processing seat 34, and the vacuum suction cup 35 is connected to a vacuum generating device for fixing the ingot 4 to be processed by vacuum adsorption. The rotating motor 331 and the processing seat 34 can be arranged on the swing arm 323 at the same time, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 331 is parallel to the rotating axis of the processing seat 34 (such as Fig. 9 ) or vertical (such as Fig.10 ), the output shaft of the rotating motor 331 and the rotating shaft of the processing seat 34 can be connected through gear transmission. The swing motor 321 drives the swing plate 322 to rotate on the vertical plane, thereby driving the swing arm 323 and the C-axis module 33 to swing in the vertical direction, such as Fig.11 The rotary motor 331 drives the processing seat 34 and the crystal ingot 4 to be processed thereon to rotate around the central axis of the processing seat 34 .

[0054] To realize the simultaneous processing of the upper and lower ingots 4, the rotation and linear movement of the ingot 4 to be processed need to be coordinated with the movement of the upper and lower lasers. As one of the implementation methods, in this embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 7 The turntable 3 further includes a first Y-axis moving module 31, and the B-axis module 32 is mounted on the first Y-axis moving module 31.

Wherein, D is the diameter of the beam incident on the first laser focusing mirror 13, W D is the distance between the first laser focusing mirror 13 and its laser focus; when processing each layer, a path of processing from inside to outside or from outside to inside is adopted, which is processed ring by ring.
