Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of wafer detection, and in particular to a compound semiconductor wafer rapid warehouse entry and exit detection device. Background Art

[0002] Wafer refers to the silicon chip used to make silicon semiconductor circuits. Its original material is silicon. High-purity polycrystalline silicon is dissolved and doped with silicon crystal seeds, and then slowly pulled out to form cylindrical single crystal silicon. After grinding, polishing and slicing, the silicon crystal rod forms a silicon wafer, that is, a wafer. The main processing methods of wafers are sheet processing and batch processing, that is, processing one or more wafers at the same time. As the feature size of semiconductors becomes smaller and smaller, the processing and measurement equipment becomes more and more advanced, new data characteristics have emerged in wafer processing. At the same time, the reduction in feature size makes the number of particles in the air during wafer processing increase the impact on the quality and reliability of the wafer after processing. As the cleanliness improves, new data characteristics have also emerged in the number of particles.

[0003] The material boxes used for wafer transportation are inconsistent with the material boxes used for on-site production testing, resulting in the need to perform wafer reversing, wafer sorting and inspection when entering and leaving the warehouse.

The compound semiconductor wafer rapid in-and-out storage detection device can drive the first Cassette box and the second Cassette box to move at the device body through the Cassette box assembly by starting the set linear motor, and can drive the first Cassette box and the second Cassette box to rotate by starting the set servo motor. During the rotation of the first Cassette box and the second Cassette box, the wafer installed at the first Cassette box can be flipped to the second Cassette box, so that the wafer flipping work can be completed quickly. In conjunction with the two detection cameras set, the top and bottom of the wafer can be inspected respectively, so that the detection efficiency and storage efficiency of the wafer can be effectively improved.

[0021] 2. The compound semiconductor wafer rapid in-and-out warehouse detection device can adsorb the wafers to be detected by starting the set air pump seat and cooperating with the opened air holes. When the wafer is transferred, its stability can be effectively improved. When it is flipped, it can also play a certain buffering effect. By starting the set translation cylinder, the support assembly can be driven to move through the storage block. When the wafer moves from the first Cassette box to the second Cassette box, the buffer pad on the side of the support assembly can be used for buffering and material connection. When the translation cylinder moves the storage block to the inner cavity of the second Cassette box, the support assembly will contact the second Cassette box.

[0023] 4. The compound semiconductor wafer rapid entry and exit detection device can drive the threaded column to rotate by starting the second drive motor, so that the left side of the lifting platform can be threadedly connected to it, so that the lifting platform can move up and down. When sorting the wafers, the lifting platform can be adjusted according to the thickness of the wafers and the amount of material unloaded, so that the wafers can be stacked on the top of the lifting platform, thereby improving the wafer sorting efficiency.

[0024] 5. The compound semiconductor wafer rapid entry and exit detection device can drive the threaded rod to rotate by starting the first driving motor, so that the bottom of the limit assembly can be threadedly connected to the threaded rod. At this time, the two limit assemblies can move to the opposite side, so that the wafer on the top of the lifting platform can be limited. By opening the set warehouse door and cooperating with the set universal wheels, the wafers after wafer sorting can be subsequently transported. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
