It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a centrally arranged component at the same time.
[0022] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0023] Embodiment 1: The wafer polishing and cleaning device provided in this embodiment is suitable for scenarios of polishing and cleaning wafers, and is particularly suitable for scenarios of polishing the edges of wafers. In this embodiment, the wafer polishing and cleaning device is improved to reduce the interference caused by positioning accuracy and thermal effects, and improve the edge processing quality of the wafer. It also has the advantages of stable and compact structure.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a wafer polishing and cleaning device in this embodiment includes a processing shell 100, a grinding wheel assembly 200, a cleaning assembly 300, a first rotating assembly 400 and a second rotating assembly 500; a processing cavity 101 is formed in the processing shell 100, and a wafer processing position 102 is arranged in the processing cavity 101; the grinding wheel assembly 200 is arranged on one side of the wafer processing position 102 in a horizontal direction; the cleaning assembly 300 is arranged on the other side of the wafer processing position 102 in a horizontal direction, which can improve the stability of the center of gravity; the rotating end of the first rotating assembly 400 is connected to the grinding wheel assembly 200 and is arranged below the wafer processing position 102; the rotating ends of the second rotating assembly 500 are respectively connected to the grinding wheel assembly 200, the cleaning assembly 300 and the first rotating assembly 400, and are used to drive the grinding wheel assembly 200 and the cleaning assembly 300 to rotate around the wafer processing position 102. The grinding wheel assembly 200 is used for grinding the wafer on the wafer processing position 102, and the cleaning assembly 300 is used for spraying cleaning liquid on the wafer.
[0025] Specifically, the wafer polishing and cleaning device in this embodiment arranges the grinding wheel assembly 200 and the cleaning assembly 300 on both sides of the wafer processing position 102, and cooperates with the second rotating assembly 500 to enable the grinding wheel assembly 200 and the cleaning assembly 300 to perform a circular motion around the wafer processing position 102, thereby realizing precise processing and instant cleaning of the wafer edge; wherein, the grinding wheel assembly 200 is driven by the first rotating assembly 400, and the grinding wheel assembly 200 processes the wafer edge. First, through the above arrangement, it is only necessary to ensure that the center of the wafer passes through the axis of rotation of the first rotating assembly 400. The axis of rotation refers to the center line of rotation corresponding to the grinding wheel assembly 200 rotating around the center of the wafer, that is, to ensure the positioning accuracy between the wafer and the grinding wheel assembly 200, so as to avoid uneven processing of the wafer edge, thereby ensuring the processing quality of the wafer edge. This method has low positioning difficulty; secondly, the cleaning assembly 300 sprays cleaning liquid to the wafer processing position 102, and the cleaning liquid flows from top to bottom, passing through the wafer processing position 102 and the above rotating device. On the one hand, cleaning is completed, and on the other hand, it can take away the heat generated during the processing and reduce the influence of heat on the processing of the wafer. Therefore, the present wafer grinding and cleaning device reduces the interference caused by positioning accuracy and thermal influence, and further improves the edge processing quality of the wafer.
[0026] Furthermore, the wafer polishing and cleaning device also includes a moving component, a wafer fixing device 700 and a positioning device 800, and the moving component includes a lifting part that can move horizontally and lift. Among them, the moving component includes a horizontal moving device 600 and a lifting device. In addition, as other optional embodiments, the moving component can also use a structure similar to a three-axis robot arm that can move the wafer fixing device 700. The horizontal moving device 600 includes a moving part 610 that is arranged above the wafer processing position 102 and can move in the horizontal direction; wherein, the horizontal moving device 600 can adopt a slide rail structure in conjunction with a walking motor, so that the moving part 610 can move from the wafer loading position to the top of the wafer processing position 102, and then move to the wafer unloading position. The lifting device includes a lifting part which is arranged on the moving part 610 and can move along the direction of gravity, and a wafer fixing device 700 which is installed on the lifting part and is used to fix the wafer; the lifting device can control the up and down movement of the wafer fixing device 700 through an electric lifting drive or a pneumatic telescopic rod, so that the wafer on the wafer fixing device 700 can be moved to the wafer processing position 102; and the positioning device 800 is used to position the lifting part and the grinding wheel assembly 200, so as to ensure that the wafer is accurately moved to the wafer processing position 102 so as to be polished by the grinding wheel assembly 200.
[0027] In this embodiment, the positioning device 800 includes a first positioning column 810 and a second positioning column 820 arranged on the rotating end of the second rotating component 500, and the wafer processing position 102 is arranged between the first positioning column 810 and the second positioning column 820; the first positioning column 810 and the second positioning column 820 are both provided with positioning grooves; the positioning device 800 also includes a first positioning block 830 and a second positioning block 840 arranged on the lifting part, the first positioning block 830 corresponds to the positioning groove of the first positioning column 810, and the second positioning block 840 corresponds to the positioning groove of the second positioning column 820; when the wafer on the wafer fixing device 700 is moved to the wafer processing position 102 by the lifting part, the first positioning block 830 is inserted into the positioning groove of the first positioning column 810, and the second positioning block 840 is inserted into the positioning groove of the second positioning column 820.
[0028] The positioning device 800 includes two positioning columns, which are respectively arranged at the rotating ends of the second rotating assembly 500, and the wafer processing position 102 is arranged between the two positioning columns; positioning grooves are respectively provided on the two positioning columns to provide space for installation and connection of subsequent positioning blocks, and the setting of the positioning grooves can ensure the accuracy of the positioning blocks when plugged in, thereby further improving the stability of the wafer during processing. Next, the first positioning block 830 and the second positioning block 840 of the positioning device 800 are respectively arranged on the lifting part and correspond to the positioning grooves on the positioning columns. Whenever the wafer fixing device 700 moves to the wafer processing position 102 through the lifting part, the first positioning block 830 will be plugged into the positioning groove of the first positioning column 810, and the second positioning block 840 will be plugged into the positioning groove of the second positioning column 820, ensuring that the position of the wafer is fixed during processing, effectively avoiding slight deviation of the wafer, improving processing accuracy, and reducing the requirements for positioning accuracy. Through the above-mentioned positioning structure, the accuracy of the positioning device 800 is significantly improved, which can effectively reduce the processing errors caused by inaccurate wafer position, especially under high-precision processing requirements, and can ensure the flatness and consistency of the wafer edge, making the entire processing process more efficient and stable.
[0029] More specifically, the wafer fixing device 700 includes a fixing bracket 710 disposed on the lifting part, and a suction cup unit 720 for fixing the wafer is installed on the fixing bracket 710; a bearing unit 730 is disposed on the outer ring of the fixing bracket 710, and the outer ring of the bearing unit 730 is fixedly connected to the first positioning block 830 and the second positioning block 840 respectively through a connecting ring 850. The connecting ring 850 is provided with a matching groove corresponding to the outer ring of the bearing unit 730, and the matching groove is interference-fitted with the outer ring, so that when the positioning block rotates with the first rotating assembly 400, the inner ring can cooperate with the fixing bracket 710 to prevent the grinding disc assembly 200 from being offset during the turnover.
[0030] In this embodiment, the wafer fixing device 700 provides fixed support for the wafer through the fixed bracket 710 arranged on the lifting part, and the suction cup unit 720 firmly fixes the wafer on the fixed bracket 710 through suction. The design of the connecting ring 850, through cooperation with the bearing unit 730, enables the rotation of the positioning column to be transmitted to the positioning block, thereby avoiding inaccurate positioning due to vibration or offset; the fixed connection between the connecting ring 850 and the bearing unit 730 enables the positioning device 800 to be connected between the first rotating component 400 and the lifting component, that is, between the first rotating component 400 and the gantry of the horizontal moving device 600, thereby improving the overall stability and smoothness of movement, and further improving the positioning accuracy and working efficiency of the device.
[0031] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the first rotating assembly 400 includes a first motor (not shown), a connecting rod 410 and a connecting frame 420. The connecting rod 410 is fixedly connected to the rotating end of the first motor, and the connecting frame 420 is installed on the connecting rod 410; the first positioning column 810 is installed at one end of the connecting frame 420, and the second positioning column 820 is installed at the other end of the connecting frame 420. The end where the connecting rod 410 and the connecting frame 420 are connected is provided with a mounting groove, and the second rotating assembly 500 includes a second motor (not shown) installed in the mounting groove and a gear box 510 arranged on the connecting frame 420; the second motor drives the grinding disc assembly 200 to rotate through the gear box 510.
[0032] It is understandable that the first motor can drive the connecting rod 410, and then drive the positioning device 800, the grinding disc assembly 200 and the cleaning assembly 300 to rotate around the wafer processing position 102 through the connecting frame 420; and the fixed part of the second motor is embedded in the installation groove of the connecting rod 410, and cooperates with the gear box 510 on the connecting frame 420 to drive the grinding disc assembly 200 to rotate; the above structure can not only integrate the various components tightly and reduce the space occupied, but also effectively reduce the weight and volume of the equipment, making the layout of the entire device more compact; more importantly, this compact design ensures the efficient operation of the equipment while facilitating heat dissipation. Since the positions of the first motor and the second motor are arranged along the direction of gravity, the phenomenon of heat accumulation is avoided, and it is also convenient to use the cleaning fluid to flow downward along the connecting rod 410 to take away the heat, reducing the influence of high temperature on the wafer grinding process, and further improving the processing accuracy and stability.
[0033] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the rotating end of the second rotating component 500 can rotate between a first position and a second position; when the rotating end of the second rotating component 500 is located at the first position, the first positioning column 810 and the second positioning column 820 are located on the moving path of the moving part 610; when the rotating end of the second rotating component 500 is located at the second position, the first positioning column 810 is located on one side of the moving path of the moving part 610, and the second positioning column 820 is located on the other side of the moving path of the moving part 610; the grinding disc assembly 200 is installed on the first positioning column 810, and the cleaning assembly 300 is installed on the second positioning column 820; the positioning device 800 also includes a visual positioning unit 860 installed on the first positioning column 810, and the visual positioning unit 860 is used to position the suction cup unit 720. Among them, the visual positioning unit 860 includes but is not limited to a camera, a grayscale sensor, etc., which can preliminarily identify the position of the suction cup unit 720 and play the role of initial positioning. Combined with the guiding role of the subsequent positioning groove, it can ensure that the center of the wafer coincides with the rotation axis of the first rotating component 400, so that the grinding wheel assembly 200 can make a circular motion around the center of the wafer.
[0034] The second rotating assembly 500 in the present invention is designed to be able to rotate between at least the first position and the second position, so that the first positioning column 810 and the second positioning column 820 can adjust their positions as needed during the wafer processing process. Specifically, when the rotating end of the second rotating assembly 500 is located at the second position, the first positioning column 810 and the second positioning column 820 are cleverly offset to one side of the moving path to ensure that the moving part 610 can pass smoothly without obstruction. When the rotating end of the second rotating assembly 500 is located at the first position, the first positioning column 810 and the second positioning column 820 can match the positioning block to provide positioning and guiding functions for the descent of the wafer fixing device 700. Not only does it enhance the flexibility of the device, but it also optimizes space utilization, allowing the components to be arranged more compactly, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0037] Further, the wafer processing method includes: S21, positioning the rotating end of the second rotating assembly 500 at a second position; S22, moving the moving part 610 of the horizontal moving device 600 until the visual positioning device 800 detects the suction cup unit 720, so that the rotating end of the second rotating component 500 is located at the first position; S23, driving the lifting part to descend through the lifting device, so that the first positioning block 830 is inserted into the positioning groove of the first positioning column 810, and the second positioning block 840 is inserted into the positioning groove of the second positioning column 820, and the wafer is positioned at the wafer processing position 102; S24, the grinding wheel assembly 200 is driven to rotate by the second rotating device, the grinding wheel assembly 200 is driven to rotate around the wafer processing position 102 by the first rotating device, and the cleaning liquid is sprayed by the cleaning assembly 300.
