Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wafer carrier clamping, and in particular to a wafer carrier clamping and adjusting device and method. Background Art

[0002] Wafer carriers are important semiconductor plastic products used in silicon wafer production, wafer manufacturing, and wafer storage, transportation and protection between factories. During the chip manufacturing process, wafers need to travel back and forth to the semiconductor production line hundreds of times within weeks. Therefore, wafer carriers play an indispensable role in protection and transportation throughout the production process. The clamping and adjustment device of the wafer carrier usually refers to a mechanical device used to accurately clamp and position the wafer, which can ensure that the wafer remains stable and safe during transportation, processing and storage.

[0003] Although the existing clamping device can improve the stability of the robot clamping the wafer carrier in and out of the carrier box, the slot will naturally collect particles, which can easily contaminate the wafer and reduce the yield rate of the wafer. On the other hand, if the clamping mismatch is high, higher requirements are required for the clamping position during clamping. The wafers are placed in the wafer box for a long time, and the relative positions of the clamping parts of each wafer are not exactly the same. The clamping operation is more difficult and the matching degree is low, that is, the clamping slot is much larger than the clamping block, and the clamping angle of the wafer is easy to change. It is easy to collide when entering and exiting the carrier box, thereby damaging the wafer.

[0004] Based on the above technical problems, the existing technology has also provided some solutions. For example, the Chinese patent with the authorization publication number CN111128822A discloses a carrier and a carrier clamping device for wafer loading. In the non-clamping state, the control capsule is in an expanded state, which completely blocks the receiving groove, making it difficult to accommodate external particles and preventing the particles from flying out, thereby preventing the wafers from being contaminated. During clamping, the expansion of the clamping capsule tightly holds the root of the positioning block, thereby increasing the friction between the clamping device and the carrier, avoiding slipping and rotation during clamping, and keeping the position fixed. The matching requirements between the positioning block and the receiving groove of the control capsule are also reduced. The positioning block can still be easily inserted into the receiving groove when the position change is not large, thereby reducing the positioning requirements for the clamping moving device.

[0005] However, in actual production operations, the wafer loading device is easily contaminated by dust, particles or other pollutants during the movement and placement process. Once the dust and particles enter the wafer loading device, they will cause wear and tear on the wafer body. At the same time, during the transportation and handling of the wafer carrier, if the wafer carrier is tilted, it will cause uneven force on the wafer body, resulting in wear and creases on the wafer body, affecting the quality. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a clamping and adjustment device and method for a wafer carrier, which solves the problem that the wafer loading device proposed in the background technology is easily contaminated by dust, particles or other pollutants during the movement and placement process, and the dust and particles entering the wafer loading device will cause wear to the wafer body.

[0019] A method for using a wafer carrier clamping and adjusting device comprises the following steps:

[0020] S1. By holding the threaded sleeve and rotating it, the top of the threaded sleeve will be movably connected to one side of the side inclined plate through the bottom bearing plate. Through the threaded connection between the threaded sleeve and the threaded column, after rotating the threaded sleeve, the threaded column is driven to move along the inner side of the threaded sleeve. The movement of the threaded column adjusts the distance between the threaded column and the side inclined plate, thereby adjusting the angle and position of the wafer carrier;

[0021] S2. By holding the side grip and rotating it, the top threaded rod is driven to rotate synchronously, and the rotating top threaded rod is movably connected to one side of the side fixing frame through the top bearing plate. The freely rotating top bearing plate improves the stability of the top threaded rod during rotation. At the same time, through the threaded connection between the top threaded rod and the side threaded hole, the top threaded rod is driven to move horizontally when it rotates. The movement of the connecting frame will synchronously drive the top protective frame to move. By rotating the side grips on both sides of the wafer carrier, the two top protective frames are driven to move horizontally along the top of the wafer carrier respectively.

[0022] S3. When a wafer is placed in the clamping rack, the motor is started to drive the side connecting rod to rotate. The rotating side connecting rod drives the side transmission rod to rotate synchronously. The rotating side transmission rod drives the transmission fan to rotate. The rotating transmission fan rotates along the inner side of the connecting tube to generate wind force. The transmission fan is protected by the connecting tube. The wind force generated by the transmission fan continuously blows toward the inner side of the wafer carrier.

[0023] S4. When the transmission fan rotates to generate wind, one side of the transmission fan will suck in the external gas and send it into the inner side of the wafer carrier through the connecting tube. Through the connection of the connecting ring, when the gas moves along the inner side of the connecting ring, it contacts the inner filter fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting ring. When the gas passes through the inner filter, the dust particles contained in the gas are captured and filtered by the inner filter, and the rotating side connecting rod will synchronously drive the connecting disk to rotate, the rotating connecting disk will drive the top connecting plate to rotate, and the rotating top connecting plate will drive the cleaning brush to clean.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The distance between the threaded column and the side inclined plate can be adjusted by moving the threaded column, thereby adjusting the angle and position of the wafer carrier. The bottom of the threaded column is stably supported on the surface of the placement surface by the bottom support platform. By adjusting the threaded columns on both sides of the wafer carrier respectively, the position and angle of the wafer carrier can be adjusted, and the wafer carrier can be kept in a horizontal position, thereby improving the stability of the wafer body in the clamping frame and improving the stability of the wafer carrier during use.

[0026] 2. By rotating the side grips on both sides of the wafer carrier, the two top protective frames can be driven to move horizontally along the top of the wafer carrier. After the movement, the top of the wafer carrier is closed, which can improve the protection of the wafer body in the wafer carrier and reduce the impact of external force collision on the wafer body in the wafer carrier;

[0027] 3. The rotating side transmission rod drives the transmission fan to rotate. The rotating transmission fan rotates along the inner side of the connecting tube to generate wind force. The connecting tube protects the transmission fan. The wind force generated by the transmission fan continuously blows toward the inner side of the wafer carrier, which can improve the ventilation performance inside the wafer carrier, reduce the deposition of dust particles in the wafer carrier, and improve the cleanliness of the wafers placed in the clamping rack.

[0028] 4. When the gas moves along the inner side of the connecting ring, it contacts the inner filter fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting ring. When the gas passes through the inner filter, the inner filter can capture and filter the dust particles contained in the gas, reduce the dust particles in the gas, and send the clean gas into the wafer carrier, reducing the impact of the dust particles on the surface of the wafer in the wafer carrier. At the same time, the rotating top connecting plate will drive the cleaning brush to clean the surface of the inner filter, remove the dust particles blocked by the filter on the surface of the inner filter, and improve the filtering effect of the inner filter.

[0059] The specific working steps of a method for using a wafer carrier clamping and adjusting device are as follows:

[0060] S1. First, hold the threaded sleeve 303 and rotate it. The top of the threaded sleeve 303 will be movably connected to one side of the side inclined plate 301 through the bottom bearing plate 302. Through the threaded connection between the threaded sleeve 303 and the threaded column 304, after rotating the threaded sleeve 303, the threaded column 304 can be driven to move along the inner side of the threaded sleeve 303. The movement of the threaded column 304 can adjust the distance between the threaded column 304 and the side inclined plate 301, so that the angle and position of the wafer carrier 1 can be adjusted, and the bottom of the threaded column 304 is stably supported on the surface of the placement surface by the bottom support platform 305. By adjusting the threaded columns 304 on both sides of the wafer carrier 1 respectively, the position and angle of the wafer carrier 1 can be adjusted, and the wafer carrier 1 can be kept in a horizontal position, thereby improving the stability of the wafer body in the clamping frame 2 and improving the stability of the wafer carrier 1 when in use;

[0061] S2. After placing more wafers on the inner side of the clamping frame 2, by holding the side grip 4011 and rotating the side grip 4011, the top threaded rod 408 can be driven to rotate synchronously, and the rotating top threaded rod 408 will be movably connected to one side of the side fixing frame 4010 through the top bearing plate 409. The freely rotating top bearing plate 409 can improve the stability of the top threaded rod 408 during rotation. At the same time, the threaded connection between the top threaded rod 408 and the side threaded hole 4012 can drive the connecting frame 404 to move horizontally when the top threaded rod 408 rotates, and the bottom of the connecting frame 404 slides on the surface of the top sliding rail 403 through the bottom sliding block 405, which can be In order to improve the stability of the movement of the connecting frame 404, at the same time, when the connecting frame 404 moves, it will slide on the inner side of the bottom sliding groove 407 through the bottom sliding frame 406, which can reduce the offset generated when the connecting frame 404 moves, and improve the accuracy of the movement of the connecting frame 404. The movement of the connecting frame 404 will synchronously drive the top protective frame 4013 to move. By rotating the side grips 4011 on both sides of the wafer carrier 1, the two top protective frames 4013 can be driven to move horizontally along the top of the wafer carrier 1. After the movement, the top of the wafer carrier 1 is closed, which can improve the protection of the wafer body in the wafer carrier 1 and reduce the impact of external force collision on the wafer body in the wafer carrier 1.

[0062] S3. When placing the wafer in the clamping rack 2 at the same time, the motor body 504 is first started, and the side connecting rod 505 can be driven to rotate by the motor body 504. The rotating side connecting rod 505 will drive the side transmission rod 506 to rotate synchronously. The rotating side transmission rod 506 will drive the transmission fan 507 to rotate. The rotating transmission fan 507 will rotate along the inner side of the connecting cylinder 502 to generate wind force, and the transmission fan 507 is protected by the connecting cylinder 502. The wind force generated by the transmission fan 507 continuously blows toward the inner side of the wafer carrier rack 1, which can improve the ventilation performance of the inner side of the wafer carrier rack 1, reduce the deposition of dust particles in the wafer carrier rack 1, and improve the cleanliness of the wafers placed in the clamping rack 2;

[0063] S4. When the transmission fan 507 rotates to generate wind, one side of the transmission fan 507 will suck in the external air and send it into the inner side of the wafer carrier 1 through the connecting tube 502. Through the connection of the connecting ring 601, when the air moves along the inner side of the connecting ring 601, it will contact the inner filter 602 fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting ring 601. When the air passes through the inner filter 602, the inner filter 602 can capture and filter the dust particles contained in the air, thereby reducing the dust particles in the air and sending clean air into the wafer. Inside the carrier 1, the impact of dust particles on the surface of the wafer body inside the wafer carrier 1 is reduced. At the same time, when the dust particles are filtered through the inner filter 602, the rotating side connecting rod 505 will synchronously drive the connecting disk 603 to rotate, and the rotating connecting disk 603 will drive the top connecting plate 604 to rotate. The rotating top connecting plate 604 will drive the cleaning brush 605 to clean the surface of the inner filter 602, and remove the dust particles filtered and blocked on the surface of the inner filter 602, thereby improving the filtering effect of the inner filter 602.

At the same time, through the threaded connection between the top threaded rod (408) and the side threaded hole (4012), the connecting frame (404) is driven to move horizontally when the top threaded rod (408) rotates. The movement of the connecting frame (404) will synchronously drive the top protective frame (4013) to move. By rotating the side grips (4011) on both sides of the wafer carrier frame (1), the two top protective frames (4013) are driven to move horizontally along the top of the wafer carrier frame (1). S3. When a wafer is placed in the clamping frame (2), the motor body (504) is started to drive the side connecting rod (505) to rotate. The rotating side connecting rod (505) drives the side transmission rod (506) to rotate synchronously. The rotating side transmission rod (506) drives the transmission fan (507) to rotate. The rotating transmission fan (507) rotates along the inner side of the connecting tube (502) to generate wind force. The transmission fan (507) is protected by the connecting tube (502). The wind force generated by the transmission fan (507) continues to blow toward the inner side of the wafer carrier (1). S4. When the transmission fan (507) rotates to generate wind, one side of the transmission fan (507) will suck in the external gas and send it into the inner side of the wafer carrier (1) through the connection of the connecting ring (601). When the gas moves along the inner side of the connecting ring (601), it contacts the inner filter (602) fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting ring (601). When the gas passes through the inner filter (602), the dust particles contained in the gas are captured and filtered by the inner filter (602). The rotating side connecting rod (505) will synchronously drive the connecting disk (603) to rotate, and the rotating connecting disk (603) will drive the top connecting plate (604) to rotate. The rotating top connecting plate (604) will drive the cleaning brush (605) to clean.
