With the rapid development of electronic technology, the requirements for wafer processing accuracy and efficiency are getting higher and higher. Traditional wafer cutting methods mainly use methods such as diamond saw blades or laser cutting.
[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with publication number CN118700355A discloses a wafer continuous cutting device, including a driving motor, a connecting assembly, a slag suction assembly, a cutting knife group and an adjusting assembly; the driving motor is used to drive the slag suction assembly and the cutting knife group; the connecting assembly is arranged at the driving end of the driving motor, and the connecting assembly is used to transmit power to the slag suction assembly and the cutting knife group; the slag suction assembly is arranged on both sides of the cutting knife group, and the slag suction assembly is used to collect the residue generated when the cutting knife group cuts the wafer body.

[0031] Working principle: When in use, the wafer to be cut is placed on the support tray 21 according to the use requirements, and then the machine body 1 is operated so that the driving motor 52 drives the support plate 6 and the laser cutter 7 to move forward and backward through the transmission screw 51, and stops after moving a certain distance, and then the cylinder 8 drives the laser cutter 7 to move left and right, so that the laser cutter 7 cuts the wafer, and during the cutting process, the water pump 42 pumps out the water in the water tank 17 and sprays a water jet along the laser cutting route, and the high temperature generated by the laser cutting is treated by the water jet. The washed debris enters the guide tube 31 and the filter element 32 through the return pipe 161, and is filtered by the filter element 32, so that the debris is retained in the filter element 32, and the clean water flows back to the water tank 17, so that the water in the water tank 17 can be recycled; in the process of cutting, if the wafer is cut from one side to the other side, the driving motor 52 will drive the support plate 6 and the laser cutter 7 to continue to move forward a certain distance, and then the cylinder 8 will continue to drive the laser cutter 7 to cut the wafer. In the process of cutting, the camera 72 will take pictures of the wafer, and judge whether the wafer has abnormal parts by analyzing the pictures. If the wafer has abnormal parts, it is judged that the parts are damaged, and the position is skipped in the cutting route to avoid cutting the broken parts of the wafer. Compared with the prior art, the present application provides a water tank 17 and a filter device inside the machine body 1, and then uses the flushing component 4 to pump the water in the water tank 17 to flush the wafer along the cutting path, so that the debris generated by cutting on the wafer can be flushed away, and at the same time, the flushed debris will flow back into the filter element 32 to be filtered out, and the clean water will return to the water tank 17 to facilitate the recycling of the water in the water tank 17. The water jet sprayed by the flushing component 4 can not only take away the heat generated during the laser cutting process, reduce the temperature of the cutting area, and reduce the thermal impact, but also use the impact force of water to remove the debris and dust generated by cutting, preventing them from scratching and contaminating the cutting surface. In addition, the water jet can also play a certain focusing and enhancement role on the laser beam, improving the laser cutting accuracy and efficiency.
