Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of semiconductors, and specifically relates to a wafer position adjuster. Background Art

[0002] A wafer refers to a silicon wafer used to fabricate silicon semiconductor circuits. During the feeding or processing of wafers, their positional relationships have specified standards. Usually, there is a notch on the wafer (as Figure 1 shown). When feeding, it is necessary to ensure that the notch of the wafer aligns with a certain position (such as the front side of the station or the left side of the station, etc.) to ensure that other mechanisms can process the accurate positions on the wafer during processing. Currently, the only device used to fix the wafer is a clamping jaw. By clamping the circumferential surface of the wafer with the clamping jaw, when workers place the wafer, they need to hold it by hand first and then wait until the clamping jaw clamps it before letting go. This method easily causes the wafer not to be in a horizontal state after being clamped, and the clamping force of the wafer clamped by the clamping jaw is uneven. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation mode

[0031] As Figures 1 - 15 shown, a wafer position adjuster includes a bracket 1. A wafer support frame capable of horizontally placing a wafer is provided on the bracket 1 through a lifting device. A wafer clamping claw is provided on the bracket 1 through a rotating mechanism. The free end of the wafer clamping claw faces upward. The moving path of each claw toe 2 of the wafer clamping claw is parallel to the upper surface of the bracket 1. The vertical central axis of the wafer support frame coincides with the vertical central axis of the wafer clamping claw. A clamping slot for cooperating with the claw toe 2 is reserved on the wafer support frame. A detection device 3 cooperating with the wafer clamping claw is provided on the bracket 1. The detection device 3 is signal-connected to the rotating mechanism and the lifting device.

[0032] In this embodiment, the user places the wafer 36 on the wafer support frame, and the wafer support frame supports the wafer 36 so that the wafer 36 is in a horizontal state. After that, the lifting device lifts the wafer support frame, that is, raises the wafer support frame. Then the wafer clamping claws grasp the wafer 36. Since the moving path of each claw toe 2 is parallel to the upper surface of the support 1, when the wafer clamping claws grasp the wafer 36, the claw toe 2 contacts the circumferential surface of the wafer 36, so that the notch 37 on the wafer 36 is not blocked. Then the rotating mechanism drives the wafer clamping claws to rotate, that is, at this time the wafer 36 rotates around its own center as the center point. When the wafer 36 rotates to the position where the notch 37 is located at the detection device 3 under the action of the rotating mechanism, the detection device 3 can detect the notch 37 on the wafer 36, thus realizing automatic adjustment. In practical applications, a PCBA circuit board 40 is set for calculation. The PCBA circuit board 40 is fixed in the support 1, and the rotating mechanism, the lifting device, and the wafer clamping claws are uniformly controlled through the PCBA circuit board 40. Then the rotating mechanism, the lifting device, and the wafer clamping claws are all signal-connected to the PCBA circuit board 40. The detection device is arranged above the wafer clamping claws, and the detection device can detect the edge of the wafer 36 placed on the wafer support frame.

[0033] The wafer support frame includes a support disk 4 and support claws 5. The support disk 4 is arranged on the support 1. The support disk 4 is parallel to the upper surface of the support 1. At least three support claws 5 are arranged around the central axis of the support disk 4 on the support disk 4. The tops of all the support claws 5 are at the same height. The lower surface of the support disk 4 is fixedly connected to the execution end of the lifting device.

[0034] After such a setting, the support disk 4 is used to install the support claws 5. The fact that the tops of all the support claws 5 are at the same height can ensure that after the wafer 36 is placed on the support claws 5, the wafer 36 is in a horizontal state, which is convenient for the next operation. Among them, the gap between two adjacent support claws 5 forms a clamping slot that cooperates with the claw toe 2, so as to facilitate the wafer clamping claws to clamp the wafer 36.

[0035] Preferably, a blocking protrusion 5-1 is arranged on the upper surface of each support claw 5 on the side facing away from the center of the support plate 4. The distance from each blocking protrusion 5-1 to the center of the support plate 4 is equal, and is equal to the radius of the wafer 36. The roots of all the blocking protrusions 5-1 on one side of the central axis of the support plate 4 are located on a virtual circle A, and the diameter of this virtual circle A is equal to the diameter of the wafer. The tops of all the blocking protrusions 5-1 on one side of the central axis of the support plate 4 are located on a virtual circle B, and the diameter of this virtual circle B is larger than the diameter of the wafer. This facilitates the worker to place the wafer 36 on the support claws 5.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, one end of the connecting rod A6 is fixedly connected to the support disk 4, and the other end of the connecting rod A6 is fixedly provided with the support claw 5. The connecting rod A6 is parallel to the upper surface of the bracket 1. In this way, through the arrangement of the connecting rod A6, the support claw 5 is located outside the support disk 4, which can avoid the situation that the support disk 4 affects the process of the wafer clamping claw clamping the wafer.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, the lifting device includes a first mounting plate 7, a lifting motor 8, an eccentric wheel 9, and a support rod 10. The first mounting plate 7 and the lifting motor 8 are both fixedly arranged inside the bracket 1. A first slide rail 11 perpendicular to the upper surface of the bracket 1 is provided on the first mounting plate 7. A slider 12 is slidably arranged between the two ends of the first slide rail 11. The lower end of the support rod 10 is fixedly connected to the slider 12. The support rod 10 is parallel to the first slide rail 11. The top end of the support rod 10 is fixedly connected to the wafer support frame. One end face of the eccentric wheel 9 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 8. The output shaft of the lifting motor 8 is parallel to the upper surface of the bracket 1 and perpendicular to the end face of the eccentric wheel 9. A notch 13 is provided on the side wall of the slider 12 parallel to the support rod 10. The upper side wall of the notch 13 is slidably connected to the circumferential surface of the eccentric wheel 9. The length of the notch 13 is greater than the diameter of the eccentric wheel 9. After such an arrangement, when the wafer 36 is placed on the support claw 5, the lifting motor 8 rotates, thereby driving the eccentric wheel 9 to rotate. The rotation of the eccentric wheel 9 drives the slider 12 to move through the notch 13. Due to the existence of the first slide rail 11, the slider 12 and the support rod 10 can only move up and down under the action of the lifting motor 8. Among them, the length of the notch 13 being greater than the diameter of the eccentric wheel 9 can ensure that the eccentric wheel 9 is not stuck by the notch 13 during the movement. The lifting motor 8 is signal-connected to the detection device 3. If the PCBA circuit board 40 is adopted, the lifting motor 8 is signal-connected to the PCBA circuit board 40.

[0038] Preferably, a second sensor 38 is provided on the bracket 1, so as to sense whether the wafer 36 is placed on the support claw 5 through the second sensor 38. If the PCBA circuit board 40 is adopted, the second sensor 38 is signal-connected to the PCBA circuit board 40.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, the wafer gripping claws include a mounting disk 14, a linear motor 15, mounting rods 16, and the claw toes 2. The mounting disk 14 is rotatably disposed on the bracket 1. At least three second slide rails 17 are provided around the center of the mounting disk 14 on the mounting disk 14. All the second slide rails 17 are parallel to the upper surface of the bracket 1. One end of each second slide rail 17 faces the center of the mounting disk 14, and the other end faces outside the mounting disk 14. The two ends of each mounting rod 16 are slidably connected to the mounting disk 14 through a corresponding second slide rail 17. The corresponding mounting rods 16 are parallel to the second slide rails 17. One claw toe 2 is provided at one end of each mounting rod 16 facing away from the center of the mounting disk 14. A first pin shaft 18 is provided at one end of each mounting rod 16 facing the center of the mounting disk 14. All the first pin shafts 18 are perpendicular to the upper surface of the bracket 1. One end of each connecting rod B19 is rotatably connected to a corresponding first pin shaft 18. The rotating disk 35 is coaxially rotatably disposed on the mounting disk 14. Second pin shafts 20 corresponding to each connecting rod B19 are evenly provided around the center on the upper surface of the rotating disk 35. All the second pin shafts 20 are parallel to all the first pin shafts 18. The other end of one connecting rod B19 is rotatably connected to a corresponding second pin shaft 20. The linear motor 15 is fixedly provided on the mounting disk 14. A driving rod 21 is radially fixedly provided on the output shaft of the linear motor 15. The driving rod 21 is parallel to the upper surface of the bracket 1. The driving rod 21 is fixedly connected to one side of one mounting rod 16. The output shaft of the linear motor 15 is parallel to the mounting rod 16 fixedly connected to the driving rod 21. After such a circumferential array, when looking down at the mounting disk 4, all the mounting rods 6 can be seen to be either arranged clockwise or counterclockwise, so as to ensure that all the claw toes 2 are driven simultaneously. All the connecting rods B19 are circumferentially equidistantly arrayed on the mounting disk 4. The mounting disk 14 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotating mechanism. The distance from the end of the mounting rod 16 facing away from the center of the mounting disk 14 to the center of the mounting disk 14 is greater than the distance from the outer edge of the wafer support frame to the center of the mounting disk 14.

[0040] After such a setting, the purpose of the mounting disk 14 is to install the linear motor 15, the mounting rod 16, the second slide rail 17, the rotating disk 35, and to connect to the output shaft of the rotating mechanism. The settings of the rotating disk 35, the second slide rail 17, and the connecting rod B19 are mainly to ensure that when the linear motor 15 drives an axial movement of a mounting rod 16 to achieve the clamping or releasing action, the three claw toes 2 can move synchronously. The setting that the distance from the end of the mounting rod 16 facing away from the center of the mounting disk 14 to the center of the mounting disk 14 is greater than the distance from the outer edge of the wafer support frame to the center of the mounting disk 14 is to ensure that the movement of the claw toes 2 will not be affected by the wafer support frame, especially not by the support disk 4. If a PCBA circuit board 40 is adopted, the linear motor 15 is signal-connected to the PCBA circuit board 40, and the linear motor 15 is controlled through the PCBA circuit board 40.

[0041] As a preferred method, a U-shaped component 22 is provided on the side wall of the mounting rod 16 connected to the driving rod 21. The projection of the U-shaped component 22 on the mounting disk 14 is U-shaped. The closed end of the U-shaped component 22 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 16 connected to the driving rod 21. One end of the driving rod 21 facing away from the output shaft of the linear motor 15 is located inside the U-shape of the U-shaped component 22. A pin 23 is provided on the U-shaped component 22. The pin 23 is parallel to the mounting rod 16 on which the U-shaped component 22 is provided. A through hole 24 with an axis parallel to the output shaft of the linear motor 15 is provided on the driving rod 21. The two ends of the pin 23 penetrate through the through hole 24, and the two ends of the pin 23 are fixed on the U-shaped component 22. A spring 25 is sleeved between the side of the mounting rod 16 on which the U-shaped component 22 is provided facing the center of the mounting disk 14 and the inner side wall of the U-shaped component 22 on the pin 23. After such a setting, due to the setting of the spring 25, when the three claw toes 2 all move towards the center of the mounting disk 14, that is, when clamping the wafer 36, the setting of the spring 25 can play a buffering role to prevent the wafer 36 from being damaged. The settings of the pin 23 and the U-shaped component 22 are to facilitate the installation of the spring 25. The setting of the driving rod 21 is equivalent to an extension of the mounting rod 16. Through the setting of the driving rod 21, the spring 25 can prevent the mounting rod 16 from moving beyond the limit.

[0042] As a preferred method, a first sensor 26 is provided on the mounting disc 14, an additional plate 28 is provided on the side wall of a part of the mounting rod 16, an induction notch 27 that cooperates with the first sensor 26 is provided on the additional plate 28, the additional plate 28 is parallel to the mounting rod 16 on which it is provided, and the first sensor 26 is signal-connected to the linear motor 15. By providing the first sensor 26, the mounting rod 16 is prevented from exceeding the necessary movement limit. For example, when the first sensor 26 does not sense any object, it is a normal situation. However, when the mounting rod 16 moves out of the mounting disc 14 beyond a certain limit, the first sensor 26 senses one side wall of the induction notch 27. At this time, the first sensor 26 transmits a signal to the linear motor 15, and the linear motor 15 stops working. Similarly, when the mounting rod 16 moves into the mounting disc 14 beyond a certain limit, the first sensor 26 senses the other side wall of the induction notch 27. At this time, the first sensor 26 transmits a signal to the linear motor 15, and the linear motor 15 stops working.

[0043] As a preferred method, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating motor 29, a first pulley 33, a second pulley 34, a second mounting plate 30, and a rotating shaft 31. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably arranged on the second mounting plate 30. The second mounting plate 30 is fixedly arranged on the bracket 1. The upper end of the rotating shaft 31 is coaxially and fixedly provided with the mounting disc 14. The lower end of the rotating shaft 31 is coaxially and fixedly provided with the second pulley 34. The rotating motor 29 is fixedly arranged on the second mounting plate 30. The output shaft of the rotating motor 29 is fixedly provided with the first pulley 33. The first pulley 33 and the second pulley 34 are drivingly connected by a belt 32. After such an arrangement, when the rotating motor 29 rotates, it drives the first pulley 33 to rotate. The first pulley 33 drives the second pulley 33 to rotate through the belt 32. Since the second pulley 33 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 31, the mounting disc 14 is driven to rotate, and then the entire wafer clamping claw is driven to rotate. Among them, the rotating disc 35, the mounting disc 14, the rotating shaft 31, and the second pulley 14 are all provided with through holes for the support rod 10 to pass through, so that when the rotating disc 35, the mounting disc 14, the rotating shaft 31, and the second pulley 14 rotate, it does not affect the support rod 10. At the same time, when the lifting motor 8 drives the support rod 10 to move up and down, it does not affect the rotation of the entire wafer clamping claw.

[0044] Preferably, the detection device 3 includes at least a pair of detection sensors. All the detection sensors are signal-connected to the PCBA circuit board 40. A preset gap is provided between two detection sensors in the same pair of detection sensors. One detection sensor in the same pair of detection sensors is located below the support claw 5, and the other detection sensor is located above the support claw 5. In this way, the detection sensors can detect the edge of the wafer 36 placed on the support claw 5, can detect whether there is a wafer on the support claw 5, and can be used to detect the notch 37 on the wafer.
