[0060] The following will be combined with the specific implementation of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solution in the present invention. Obviously, the described implementation is only a part of the implementation of the present invention, not all of the implementation. Based on the implementation of the present invention, all other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0061] like Figure 1As shown, a wafer carrier device for semiconductor device manufacturing of the present invention includes a carrier 1, a carrier cover 2, a composite cover 3, an elastic sealing ring 4, a negative pressure mechanism 5 and a wafer 6, which is used in the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices.
[0062] Among them, the carrier 1 is the main component of the carrier device, and a receiving groove 101 is provided on the carrier 1, and the receiving groove 101 is used to place the wafer 6. After the wafer 6 is placed in the receiving groove 101, the carrier cover 2 is fixed on the carrier 1 and blocks the receiving groove 101 to package the wafer 6. The carrier cover 2 is detachably fixedly connected to the carrier 1, so as to facilitate the removal of the wafer 6 from the carrier 1.
[0063] When the wafer 6 is packaged in the carrier 1 and the carrier cover 2 , it needs to be limited and fixed, otherwise the wafer 6 is prone to be damaged due to sliding.
[0064] To solve this problem, a vent hole 102 is provided in the carrier 1, the vent hole 102 penetrates the carrier 1 and communicates with the receiving groove 101, the elastic sealing ring 4 is sealed and fixed in the vent hole 102, and a part of the elastic sealing ring 4 extends out of the vent hole 102; the composite cover 3 is arranged on the carrier cover 2, the composite cover 3 and the carrier cover 2 are enclosed to form a relatively closed adjustment cavity 301, the adjustment cavity 301 is communicated with the receiving groove 101, and the volume of the adjustment cavity 301 is adjustable; Figure 3 As shown, when the wafer 6 is placed in the receiving groove 101 and the carrier cover 2 is connected to the carrier 1, the volume of the adjusting chamber 301 is reduced, thereby compressing the air in the adjusting chamber 301 and the receiving groove 101 to form high-pressure air. The high-pressure air will press the wafer 6 against and press the side of the elastic sealing ring 4 close to the carrier cover 2, thereby locking the wafer 6 to prevent the wafer 6 from sliding; at the same time, in order to avoid extrusion damage between the wafer 6 and the carrier 1, the reduction amount of the adjusting chamber 301 and the elastic contraction amount of the elastic sealing ring 4 are limited, so that when the wafer 6 is against the elastic sealing ring 4, it can be spaced apart from the carrier 1.
[0065] Compared with the method of using related components to compress the wafer 6 in the prior art, the carrier device uses air pressure to press the wafer 6. This method is more stable and uniform, and reduces the contact between the wafer 6 and excessive components, thereby achieving a good protective effect and ensuring the processing safety of the wafer 6.
[0066] In order to achieve the communication between the adjusting chamber 301 and the containing groove 101 , a communication hole 204 is preferably opened in the middle of the carrier cover 2 , so that the communication hole 204 is connected with the adjusting chamber 301 and the containing groove 101 .
[0067] In order to adjust the volume of the adjustment chamber 301, Figure 4-Figure 10As shown, the composite cover 3 includes a cover body 31 and a convex ring 32. The cover body 31 is sleeved on the outer side of the carrier cover 2 and is slidably connected thereto. A card slot 201 is provided on the peripheral side of the carrier cover 2. The convex ring 32 is fixedly arranged in the cover body 31 and can be carded with the card slot 201. Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the cover body 31 and the carrier cover 2 are in a state where the adjustment chamber 301 is not adjusted, and the volume of the adjustment chamber 301 is relatively large. When the carrier cover 2 is connected to the carrier 1, the cover body 31 is slid downward to reduce the volume of the adjustment chamber 301, thereby increasing the air pressure inside the receiving groove 101 to fix the wafer 6. Figure 6 As shown, until the protruding ring 32 is engaged with the engaging groove 201 , the force applied to the cover body 31 can be released, so that the relative position of the cover body 31 and the carrier cover 2 remains unchanged.
[0068] like Figure 6 As shown, when the protruding ring 32 is engaged with the slot 201 , the cover 31 abuts against the carrier 1 , thereby improving the sealing performance of the receiving slot 101 and preventing the locking degree of the wafer 6 and the cleanliness of the surface of the wafer 6 from being affected by air leakage.
[0069] In order to facilitate the assembly of the carrier cover 2 and the carrier 1, it is preferred that the carrier cover 2 is connected to the carrier 1 by threaded fitting, which is more convenient to operate, and this connection method makes the relative position of the carrier cover 2 and the carrier 1 more stable. However, the carrier cover 2 is located in the composite cover 3. When the carrier cover 2 and the carrier 1 are assembled, it is necessary to rotate the composite cover 3 to allow the carrier cover 2 to rotate. For this purpose, an annular groove 202 is provided on one end of the peripheral side of the carrier cover 2 close to the carrier 1, and a limiting groove 203 is provided on the side of the annular groove 202 away from the carrier 1; a limiting block 33 is provided in the composite cover 3, and the limiting block 33 is fixedly arranged in the cover body 31, so that the limiting block 33 is engaged with the limiting groove 203 and is rotatably connected with the annular groove 202; Figure 5 As shown, at this time, the limit block 33 is engaged with the limit groove 203, and the cover 2 can be driven to rotate by rotating the cover body 31, so that the cover 2 is screwed onto the carrier 1, and when the cover body 31 is pressed downward, the limit block 33 is separated from the limit groove 203, so that the limit block 33 enters the annular groove 202, and at this time, the cover body 31 is rotated, and the cover 2 is not driven to rotate, thereby improving the independence of the composite cover 3 and the cover 2; for example, in Figure 6 In the state shown, if you want to separate the convex ring 32 from the slot 201, you need to apply an upward force to the cover body 31. The direction of the force applied manually is not easy to control, and it is easy for the cover body 31 to rotate during the movement. However, the design structure ensures that the rotation of the cover body 31 will not drive the carrier cover 2 to rotate, so that the carrier device is suitable for more usage conditions.
[0070] Before the carrier device is used, it is preferred that the adjustment chamber 301 is in a state of maximum volume. To this end, a spring 34 is provided in the composite cover 3, and the two ends of the spring 34 are respectively abutted against a side of the cover body 31 close to the carrier 1 and a side of the carrier cover 2 away from the carrier 1, so that the side of the cover body 31 close to the carrier 1 and the side of the carrier cover 2 away from the carrier 1 maintain a maximum distance in the initial state.
[0071] The negative pressure mechanism 5 is used to form negative pressure in the vent hole 102 to cooperate with the adjustment of the volume of the adjustment chamber 301 to lock the wafer 6. The setting of the negative pressure mechanism 5 helps to reduce the adjustment range of the adjustment chamber 301, which is beneficial to the lightweight design of the carrier cover 2 and the composite cover 3.
[0072] As a preferred embodiment, the negative pressure mechanism 5 includes a piston plate 51, a connecting frame 52 and a sliding rod 53. The piston plate 51 slides sealingly in the vent 102; the connecting frame 52 is fixedly arranged on the side of the piston plate 51 away from the elastic sealing ring 4; the sliding rod 53 penetrates and is slidably arranged on the carrier 1, and one end of the sliding rod 53 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 52. By sliding the sliding rod 53 at one end outside the carrier 1, the piston plate 51 can be driven to slide in the vent 102, thereby forming a negative pressure in the vent 102, so as to increase the resistance between the wafer 6 and the elastic sealing ring 4, and strengthen the fixing firmness of the wafer 6.
[0073] When the wafer 6 is fixed, it is necessary not only to operate the composite cover 3 but also to operate the sliding rod 53. The operation method is relatively complicated. In order to improve the operation efficiency of the carrier device, the composite cover 3 and the negative pressure mechanism 5 are linked, such as Fig.11 and Fig.14 As shown, the end of the sliding rod 53 away from the connecting frame 52 is abutted against the side of the composite cover 3 close to the carrier 1, and an elastic block 54 is arranged in the negative pressure mechanism 5. The elastic block 54 is made of elastic material, such as flexible silicone, etc. The elastic block 54 is fixedly arranged on the carrier 1 and abutted against the side of the connecting frame 52 away from the piston plate 51. When the composite cover 3 is pressed downward, the sliding rod 53, the connecting frame 52 and the piston plate 51 can be driven to move downward, not only forming high pressure on the top side of the wafer 6, but also forming negative pressure on the bottom side of the wafer 6, thereby firmly fixing the wafer 6 on the elastic sealing ring 4; and when the wafer 6 needs to be taken out, the composite cover 3 is moved upward, and the piston plate 51 can be moved back to its original position by using the elastic block 54 to abut against the connecting frame 52, so that no negative pressure is formed in the vent 102.
[0074] When the negative pressure demand in the vent hole 102 is relatively large, in order to ensure the lightweight design of the carrier 1 and the negative pressure mechanism 5, it is preferred that the vent hole 102 includes a mounting portion 1021 and a pressure regulating portion 1022. The mounting portion 1021 is provided on a side of the carrier 1 close to the carrier cover 2 and is located in the receiving groove 101. The elastic sealing ring 4 is sealed and fixed in the mounting portion 1021. The pressure regulating portion 1022 is provided on a side of the carrier 1 away from the carrier cover 2 and is connected to the mounting portion 1021. The piston plate 51 is sealed and slidable in the pressure regulating portion 1022, and the inner diameter of the pressure regulating portion 1022 is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting portion 1021. Fig.15 As shown, the cross section of the vent hole 102 is T-shaped, and when the piston plate 51 moves downward a short distance, a large negative pressure can be formed in the mounting portion 1021.
[0075] The wafer 6 has a large size. In order to improve the locking stability of the wafer 6, Figure 2 As shown, multiple vent holes 102 and elastic sealing rings 4 are provided, and they correspond one to one; the center of gravity of the wafer 6 is in its middle position, so one of the vent holes 102 is coaxially arranged with the receiving groove 101, that is, this vent hole 102 is arranged in the middle position of the receiving groove 101, and the remaining multiple vent holes 102 are arranged in a circular array around the axis of the receiving groove 101.
[0076] The present invention provides different structural designs for the piston plate 51 at different positions. Specifically, the piston plate 51 includes a first movable plate 511, a sealing box 512, and a second movable plate 513. Fig.15 As shown, the first movable plate 511 is sealed and slides in the vent hole 102 located in the middle position and is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 52. When the composite cover 3 drives the sliding rod 53 to slide downward, the first movable plate 511 can be driven to move downward synchronously; Fig.16 As shown, the sealing box 512 is sealed and slides in the vent hole 102 located at the outer edge position, and corresponds to it one by one. A T-slot 501 is opened on the side of the sealing box 512 away from the carrier cover 2; the second movable plate 513 is slidably set in the T-slot 501, specifically, it is slidably set in the large hole in the T-slot 501, and the second movable plate 513 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 52. When the composite cover 3 drives the sliding rod 53 to slide downward, it will first drive the second movable plate 513 to slide downward in the T-slot 501 until the second movable plate 513 abuts against the sealing When the sealing box 512 is sealed, the sealing box 512 will be driven to move downward; that is, when the composite cover 3 drives the sliding rod 53 to slide downward, the piston plate 51 in the vent 102 located in the middle position moves downward synchronously with the composite cover 3, and the multiple piston plates 51 in the vent 102 located at the outer edge position first remain stationary, and then move downward synchronously with the composite cover 3. Utilizing this structure, the fixing firmness of the middle position of the wafer 6 can be strengthened first, and then the fixing firmness of the edge position of the wafer 6 can be strengthened, which is beneficial to improving the fixing stability of the wafer 6.
[0077] In order to prevent the carrier 1 from slipping relative to the carrier cover 2 and the composite cover 3 when they are rotated, it is preferred that the cross-section of the carrier 1 is a rounded diamond shape, and the cross-sections of the carrier cover 2 and the composite cover 3 are both circular; at the same time, the upper and lower outer diameters of the carrier device are not uniform, which is also conducive to the stacking and splitting of multiple carrier devices, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the wafer 6.
[0078] Specifically, Figure 2 and Fig.17 As shown, it is preferred that the angle between two adjacent side surfaces of the carrier 1 is 90 degrees, the fillet radius of two relative top angles of the carrier 1 is equal to the radius of the composite cover 3, and the fillet radius of the other two relative top angles of the carrier 1 is smaller. At this time, the carrier device can be placed not only in a circular space, but also in a rectangular space, and the side walls of the carrier device can be abutted against the side walls of the placement space to achieve the stacking stability of the carrier device.
[0079] A method for using a wafer carrier device for semiconductor device manufacturing of the present invention is as follows:
[0080] S1, placing the wafer 6 in the receiving groove 101, and making the wafer 6 abut against the plurality of elastic sealing rings 4;
[0081] S2, installing the carrier cover 2 on the carrier frame 1;
[0082] S3, pressing the composite cover 3, so that the convex ring 32 is engaged with the slot 201, thereby forming high pressure and negative pressure on both sides of the wafer 6, so that the wafer 6 is firmly held against the elastic sealing ring 4;
[0083] S4, when it is necessary to take out the wafer 6, force is applied to the composite cover 3 to separate the convex ring 32 from the slot 201, and the composite cover 3 and the negative pressure mechanism 5 are restored to their original positions by using the spring 34 to support the cover body 31 and the elastic block 54 to support the connecting frame 52, so that the air pressure on both sides of the wafer 6 is restored to the initial equilibrium state;
[0084] S5 , removing the carrier cover 2 from the carrier 1 , and taking the wafer 6 out of the receiving slot 101 , so as to process the wafer 6 .
[0085] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
