[0002] Semiconductor is a substance between conductor and non-conductor. Semiconductor materials are generally used to make various chips. Wafers are extracted from silicon materials, and then after the wafers are divided, transistors are etched on the wafers using equipment such as photolithography machines, so that they can be used as electronic component chips. In the semiconductor processing process, other material layers are easily attached to the surface of semiconductor materials. Therefore, a wet etching device is required. The device immerses the wafer in a corrosive liquid, and the corrosive liquid reacts chemically with the material on the surface of the wafer to remove the unnecessary material part. At present, in the wet etching process of wafers, a device is required. The clamping assembly inside the etching frame stably and accurately places the wafer in the etching frame, so that the etching liquid is in full contact with the wafer surface; the wafer is stably and accurately placed in the etching frame under the action of the clamping assembly, and the wafer and the etching liquid are kept in a static state by the clamping assembly, so that the etching liquid cannot flow between the wafer surface. However, the etching liquid undergoes a chemical reaction when in contact with the wafer, accompanied by the generation of heat and the formation of reaction products, resulting in the heat generated by the wafer on the etching liquid surface cannot be carried away in time, thereby causing local over-corrosion or under-corrosion on the wafer surface, affecting the stability of the semiconductor material reaction.

[0044] Through the above technical solution:
[0045] When in use;
[0046] In the first step, when the wafer 1 and the clamping member 13 are immersed in the corrosion tank 11, the servo motor 24 rotates to drive the column 31 to rotate synchronously, and then the column 31 rotates to drive the crank frame 32 to rotate synchronously, so that the crank frame 32 moves in a circle below the servo motor 24. At this time, the crank frame 32 rotates to drive the connecting seat 37 to rotate, and the connecting seat 37 rotates to contact the centrifugal column 36 inside and push the centrifugal column 36 to move, and the movement of the centrifugal column 36 drives the moving sleeve 35 to move along the horizontal column 38. The movable sleeve 35 moves horizontally to the left, and the connecting seat 37 is continuously rotated, so that the movable sleeve 35 moves along the cross column 38 and moves near the cross column 38 and the connecting arm 34, so that the movable sleeve 35 moves along the cross column 38 and contacts with the cross column 38, and pushes the cross column 38 to move inside the connecting ring frame 21, and then the cross column 38 moves inside the connecting ring frame 21 and moves along the arc on the centering column 23 under the action of the connecting arm 34 and the limit ring 33, so that the movement of the cross column 38 drives the centrifugal column 36 The movable sleeve 35 moves upward along the connecting seat 37. As the movable sleeve 35 continuously approaches the cross column 38 and one of the connecting arms 34, the cross column 38 moves to the inner depth of the connecting ring frame 21. Then, the connecting seat 37 rotates to drive the movable sleeve 35 to move horizontally along the cross column 38, so that the movable sleeve 35 moves to the right along the cross column 38, and the movable sleeve 35 approaches the other connecting arm 34 and the cross column 38 along the cross column 38, so that the movable sleeve 35 moves and drives the cross column 38 to swing back and forth in the connecting ring frame 21 with the centering column 23 as the center, so that the swing of the cross column 38 drives the centering column 23 to swing inside the slide 22, and then the wafer 1 and the clamping member 13 keep swinging in the etching pool 11 under the swing of the centering column 23, so that the etching liquid around the wafer 1 can be moved in multiple directions, so that the swing of the wafer 1 and the clamping member 13 can keep the etching liquid around them flowing, so that the flowing etching liquid can help take away the heat and products from the surface of the wafer 1, and maintain the stability and efficiency of the reaction.
[0047] In the second step, when the wafer 1 swings inside the corrosion pool 11 and the connecting seat 37 rotates, the connecting seat 37 rotates to drive the eccentric wheel 48 to rotate synchronously along the connecting ring frame 21, and then the outer side of the eccentric wheel 48 slowly approaches the outer side of the displacement plate 47 and forms a conflict with it. At this time, the eccentric wheel 48 and the displacement plate 47 conflict and push the displacement plate 47, and the displacement plate 47 moves to drive the displacement column 44 to move horizontally in the support plate 42 and the limiting groove 43, and the movement of the displacement column 44 drives the spring ring 46 to move synchronously along the limiting groove 43, so that the first spring 4 5 is squeezed between the limiting groove 43 and the spring ring 46, so that the displacement column 44 moves to push the displacement frame 41 to move, and then the displacement frame 41 and the swinging wafer 1 are matched with each other in slope, so that the displacement frame 41 moves horizontally to form a conflict with the outside of the wafer 1 and push the wafer 1 to move along the clamping member 13, so that the restricted part of the wafer 1 in the clamping member 13 can be replaced, so that the restricted part of the surface of the wafer 1 can contact and react with the etching liquid, and the flowing etching liquid can stably carry away the temperature generated on the surface of the wafer 1 while the wafer 1 moves.
[0048] In the third step, when the displacement frame 41 pushes the wafer 1 to move downward along the clamping member 13, first the elastic force of the second spring 59 itself can push one side of the limiting plate 53, and then the limiting plate 53 moves along the centering groove 57 to the inside of the flexible groove 51, and the limiting plate 53 moves the through groove opened on one side along the outside of the guide column 58 during the movement, and then the limiting plate 53 and the wafer 1 in the flexible groove 51 are restrained by the two ear grooves 52, so as to keep the wafer 1 at two points in the two ear grooves 52, so that the wafer 1 remains stable in the flexible groove 51 and the clamping member 13, and there is a distance between the wafer 1 and the flexible groove 51, so as to avoid the situation that the wafer 1 moves along the clamping member 13 and conflicts with the flexible groove 51, and ensure that the wafer 1 can move stably along the clamping member 13, so that the wafer 1 can still maintain the flow with the etching liquid when moving inside the clamping member 13, so that the flowing etching liquid carries away the heat of the wafer 1 inside the clamping member 13, which helps to achieve a more consistent etching effect.
[0049] In the fourth step, when the height between the displacement rack 41 and the wafer 1 needs to be adjusted, the installation cylinder 64 is rotated to screw it into and rotate with the connecting cylinder 63, and then the installation cylinder 64 moves downward along the outside of the connecting cylinder 63. At this time, the downward movement of the installation cylinder 64 drives the resistance cavity 65 to move downward synchronously, and the slope between the resistance cavity 65 and the plurality of flexible arc plates 66 is matched and slowly loses resistance, so that the external extrusion force of the plurality of flexible arc plates 66 and the extension column 61 is continuously weakened, and the extension column 61 is pulled to move it in the plurality of flexible arc plates 66, the plurality of vertical frames 67 and the moving groove 68, which is used to realize the upward or downward movement of the support plate 42 in the slide groove 22, thereby adjusting the height between the displacement rack 41 and the wafer 1, so that the displacement rack 41 can maintain stable contact with the wafer 1.
