Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an application with an application date of July 30, 2024, an application number of 202411028704.X, and an invention title of a non-contact wafer fixture suitable for thin wafers. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of wafer fixtures, and particularly to a non-contact wafer fixture suitable for thin wafers. Background Art

[0003] During the manufacturing and processing of wafers, a series of processes such as grinding, etching, cleaning, and polishing are often involved to process the wafer surface into a specific integrated circuit structure. To implement various processes, it is necessary to transfer the wafer between different processing devices and place the wafer on various processing platforms.

[0004] In the prior art, the form of a robotic arm cooperating with a wafer fixture is usually adopted to achieve the clamping process of the wafer. Such technical solutions are equipped with different wafer fixtures according to the different sizes and thicknesses of the processed wafers, and can grab the wafer from above or support it from below from the side of the wafer to achieve the grabbing process of the wafer, so that the robotic arm can transfer the wafer between different processing areas.

[0005] The wafer fixtures in the prior art usually select several clamping positions at the edge of the wafer and fix the wafer by applying pressure at the clamping positions, which may cause the problem of edge cracking of the wafer under pressure during the transfer process, reducing the product yield. During the semiconductor material processing, the wafer will present two forms before and after cutting. Before cutting, it is a whole, and after cutting, it will form several small monomers. To keep the wafer in its original shape after cutting, the wafer needs to be attached to a sticky blue film before cutting, and then the wafer needs to be flipped to cut the non-filmed surface, so that the several small monomers formed after wafer cutting can remain in their original positions. However, processes such as filming, flipping, and cutting require the wafer to pass through one operating table after another, resulting in low production efficiency. Therefore, a non-contact wafer fixture suitable for thin wafers is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

A number of uniformly distributed air suction ports are opened on the outer wall of the bottom of the secondary suction plate.

[0010] In the above-mentioned non-contact wafer fixture applicable to thin wafers, rotating mechanisms are provided on the outer walls of both of the two tooth columns. The two rotating mechanisms are distributed in a circumferential array. The rotating mechanism includes a third gear, a second bevel gear, a first bevel gear, a second mounting plate, a third mounting plate, a sixth gear, a second rack, and a second connecting rod. The outer wall of the third gear meshes with the tooth column. The second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the third gear. The third gear is rotatably connected to the second mounting plate. The outer wall of the second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear. The outer wall of the first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the sixth gear.

The second connecting rod is fixedly connected to the second rack. The second rack is slidably connected to the third mounting plate.

[0011] In the above-mentioned non-contact wafer fixture applicable to thin wafers, both of the two second mounting plates are fixedly connected to the first rotating ring. Both of the two second connecting rods are fixedly connected to the first rotating ring. Y-shaped sliding rods are slidably connected to the bottom outer walls of both of the two first sliding rods. Channel two is slidably connected to the outer walls of both of the two Y-shaped sliding rods. Both of the two channel twos communicate with channel three. Channel three communicates with channel four. Channel four communicates with the blower. The blower communicates with the ventilation cylinder. Two sealing rings are fixedly connected to the outer wall of channel four.

[0012] In the above-mentioned non-contact wafer fixture applicable to thin wafers, two switching mechanisms distributed symmetrically are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ventilation cylinder. The switching mechanism includes a first mounting plate, a first gear, a support rod, a first connecting rod, a first sealing plate, and a second sealing plate. The first mounting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ventilation cylinder. The first gear is rotatably connected to the first mounting plate. The support rod is slidably connected to the first mounting plate. The support rod meshes with the outer wall of the first gear.

[0013] In the above-mentioned non-contact wafer fixture applicable to thin wafers, the outer wall of the support rod is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod. The first sealing plate is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod. The second sealing plate is fixedly connected to the first sealing plate.

[0014] In the above-mentioned non-contact wafer fixture applicable to thin wafers, the end of the first ventilation pipe away from the circular mounting plate communicates with channel three. A tension spring is fixedly connected between the two Y-shaped sliding rods.

[0015] In the above-mentioned non-contact wafer fixture applicable to thin wafers, two drive racks one distributed in a circumferential array are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first mounting ring. Two connecting rods four distributed symmetrically are fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the float. The end of the connecting rod four away from the float is fixedly connected to the first sealing sliding plate.

[0016] Compared with the existing technology, the advantages of the non-contact wafer fixture applicable to thin wafers are as follows:

[0017] 1. The first bevel gear drives the third gear to rotate clockwise by 90 degrees through the second bevel gear. The third gear drives the auxiliary suction plate to rotate by 90 degrees through the tooth column and the first shaft rod, so that the two auxiliary suction plates are in a straight line. Then, the second motor starts to rotate. The second motor drives the transmission gear ring to rotate through the fifth gear, and the transmission gear ring drives the first mounting ring to rotate, so that the two auxiliary suction plates assist the blue film to fit with the wafer, making the fitting effect better.

[0018] 2. The first gear drives the two supporting rods to move away from each other, so that the two supporting rods no longer block the float. Since the float is subjected to the negative pressure of the blower and will continue to move downward, the first air port is no longer connected to the main suction plate, but is connected to the two side channels six. There is a ventilation hose connecting the second connection port and the first connection port. Then, the two auxiliary suction plates will adsorb the wafer with the blue film pasted. At the same time, the two supporting rods moving away from each other will cause the two first connecting rods to drive the two first sealing plates to move, so that the two first sealing plates seal the fourth channel. At the same time, the first sealing plate will drive the two second sealing plates to open, so that the air generated by the negative pressure is blown into the third channel and the second channel. As the gas gradually increases, the two Y-shaped sliding rods will also be pushed out, so that the two first sliding rods gradually rise along the Y-shaped sliding rods. When reaching the top, the two first motors start to rotate 180 degrees to turn the wafer over for subsequent cutting;

[0019] 3. The tension spring between the two Y-shaped sliding rods will reset the two Y-shaped sliding rods. The internal gas will enter the third air port along the first ventilation pipe. When the first ventilation pipe is not connected to the third air port, the first ventilation pipe is in a closed state, so that the limit protection rod inside the circular mounting plate extends out. After the limit protection rod completely extends out, the upper surface of the limit protection rod is higher than the auxiliary suction plate. At this time, the limit protection rod plays a limiting role for the wafer. Then, the second motor rotates in reverse, so that the auxiliary suction plate is located between the first gear and the third air port. The blower sucks air in the reverse direction, and the remaining gas blows the float up, so that the two auxiliary suction plates are reset. At the same time, the blown-up gas flows out through the main suction plate, playing a role in supporting the descent of the wafer. Then, the limit protection rod slowly drops;

[0020] In summary, the present invention realizes the replacement of the gas channel by the supporting rod blocking the displacement of the float, so that the auxiliary suction plate can not only assist the blue film to fit with the wafer, but also turn over the wafer with the blue film pasted, facilitating subsequent cutting.

Two symmetrically distributed first ventilation pipes 13 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the annular channel one 5. Two dual-purpose mechanisms are arranged on the outer wall of the installation ring one 2 in a circumferential array distribution.

[0038] Among them, the dual-purpose mechanism includes a secondary suction plate 1, a first slide bar 7, a first shaft rod 19, a first mounting block 18, a first motor 21, a first connection port 20, the first shaft rod 19, and a toothed column 33. The first slide bar 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first mounting ring 2. The outer wall of the bottom of the first slide bar 7 is fixedly connected to the first mounting block 18. The top end of the first shaft rod 19 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first mounting block 18. The bottom end of the first shaft rod 19 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first slide bar 7. The toothed column 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first shaft rod 19. The first motor 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first mounting block 18. The output shaft of the first motor 21 is fixedly connected to the secondary suction plate 1. The first connection port 20 is fixedly connected to the secondary suction plate 1. A plurality of uniformly distributed air suction ports 23 are formed on the outer wall of the bottom of the secondary suction plate 1. Rotating mechanisms are arranged on the outer walls of the two toothed columns 33. The two rotating mechanisms are distributed in a circumferential array. The rotating mechanism includes a third gear 35, a second bevel gear 34, a first bevel gear 32, a second mounting plate 30, a third mounting plate 31, a sixth gear 54, a second rack 29, and a second connecting rod 28. The outer wall of the third gear 35 is meshed with the toothed column 33. The second bevel gear 34 is fixedly connected to the third gear 35.

The second connecting rod 28 is fixedly connected to the second rack 29. The second rack 29 is slidably connected to the third mounting plate 31.

[0039] In this embodiment, during use, the wafer is placed on the main suction plate 3 with the side of the wafer that needs to be pasted with the blue film facing upwards. Then, the blue film ring loaded with the blue film is placed on the wafer. Subsequently, the blower 38 starts to suck air, so that the negative pressure sucks the float 40 onto the support rod 17. At the same time, through the second air port 45 and the first air port 41, the main suction plate 3 forms an adsorption force on the wafer. As the float 40 moves downward, the fourth connecting rod 44 will drive the first sealing slide plate 26 to move downward, so that the second mounting ring 42 on the first sealing slide plate 26 drives the two second connecting rods 28 to move downward. The two second connecting rods 28 drive the sixth gear 54 and the first bevel gear 32 to rotate counterclockwise by ninety degrees as Figure 4As shown in the direction, the first bevel gear 32 drives the third gear 35 to rotate clockwise by 90 degrees through the second bevel gear 34. The third gear 35 drives the auxiliary suction plate 1 to rotate by 90 degrees through the tooth column 33 and the first shaft rod 19, so that the two auxiliary suction plates 1 are in a straight line. Subsequently, the second motor 49 starts to rotate. The second motor 49 drives the transmission gear ring 27 to rotate through the fifth gear 48. The transmission gear ring 27 drives the first mounting ring 2 to rotate, so that the two auxiliary suction plates 1 assist in the fitting of the blue film and the wafer, making the fitting effect better. During the rotation, the first transmission rack 22 will drive the first gear 16 to rotate. The first gear 16 drives the two support rods 17 to move away from each other, so that the two support rods 17 no longer obstruct the float 40. Since the float 40 is under the negative pressure of the blower 38, it will continue to move downward, so that the first air port 41 is no longer connected to the main suction plate 3, but is connected to the two side channels 43. There is a ventilation hose (not shown in the figure) connected between the second connection port 51 and the first connection port 20. Subsequently, the two auxiliary suction plates 1 will adsorb the wafer with the blue film attached. At the same time, the two support rods 17 moving away from each other will cause the two first connecting rods 14 to drive the two first sealing plates 36 to move, so that the two first sealing plates 36 seal the fourth channel 12. At the same time, the first sealing plate 36 will drive the two second sealing plates 52 to open, so that the air generated by the negative pressure is blown into the third channel 11 and the second channel 9. As the gas gradually increases, the two Y-shaped sliding rods 8 will also be pushed out, so that the two first sliding rods 7 gradually rise along the Y-shaped sliding rods 8. When reaching the topmost point, the two first motors 21 start to rotate by 180 degrees to turn the wafer over for subsequent cutting.

[0040] Among them, both of the two mounting plates II 30 are fixedly connected to the first rotating ring 24, both of the two connecting rods II 28 are fixedly connected to the first rotating ring 24, the bottom outer walls of both of the two first slide rods 7 are slidably connected with Y-shaped slide rods 8, the outer walls of both of the two Y-shaped slide rods 8 are slidably connected with second channels 9, both of the two second channels 9 communicate with a third channel 11, the third channel 11 communicates with a fourth channel 12, the fourth channel 12 communicates with a blower 38, the blower 38 communicates with an air vent cylinder 6, two sealing rings 37 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fourth channel 12, two switching mechanisms distributed symmetrically are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air vent cylinder 6, the switching mechanism includes a first mounting plate 15, a first gear 16, a support rod 17, a first connecting rod 14, a first sealing plate 36 and a second sealing plate 52, the first mounting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air vent cylinder 6, the first gear 16 is rotatably connected to the first mounting plate 15, the support rod 17 is slidably connected to the first mounting plate 15, the support rod 17 meshes with the outer wall of the first gear 16, the outer wall of the support rod 17 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 14, the first sealing plate 36 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 14, the second sealing plate 52 is fixedly connected to the first sealing plate 36, the end of the first ventilation pipe 13 away from the circular mounting plate 25 communicates with the third channel 11, a tension spring 53 is fixedly connected between both of the two Y-shaped slide rods 8, two drive racks I 22 distributed in a circumferential array are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first mounting ring 2, two connecting rods IV 44 distributed symmetrically are fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the float 40, and the end of the connecting rod IV 44 away from the float 40 is fixedly connected to a first sealing slide plate 26.

[0041] In this embodiment, after the turning over is completed, the blower 38 stops operating, and the second motor 49 continues to rotate so that the first ventilation pipe 13 communicates with the third air port 50 near the first gear 16. Since the tension spring 53 between the two Y-shaped slide rods 8 will reset the two Y-shaped slide rods 8 directly, the internal gas will enter the third air port 50 along the first ventilation pipe 13. When the first ventilation pipe 13 is not docked with the third air port 50, the first ventilation pipe 13 is in a closed state, so that the limiting protection rod 4 inside the circular mounting plate 25 extends out. After the limiting protection rod 4 completely extends out, the upper surface of the limiting protection rod 4 will be higher than the secondary suction plate 1. At this time, the limiting protection rod 4 plays a limiting role for the wafer. Subsequently, the second motor 49 rotates in the reverse direction so that the secondary suction plate 1 is located between the first gear 16 and the third air port 50, and the blower 38 sucks air in the reverse direction. The remaining gas blows the float 40 up, so that the two secondary suction plates 1 are reset. At the same time, the blown-up gas flows out through the main suction plate 3, playing a role in supporting the descent of the wafer. Subsequently, the limiting protection rod 4 slowly descends, and the second motor 49 rotates to reset the first mounting ring 2, and the first motor 21 flips to facilitate the next clamping.

[0042] The specific working principle and usage method of the present invention will be explained in detail as follows: During use, place the wafer on the main suction plate 3 with the side of the wafer that needs to be pasted with the blue film facing upwards. Then, place the blue film ring loaded with the blue film on the wafer. Subsequently, the blower 38 starts to inhale air, causing the negative pressure to suck the float 40 onto the support rod 17. At the same time, through air port two 45 and air port one 41, the main suction plate 3 forms an adsorption force on the wafer. As the float 40 moves downward, the connecting rod four 44 will drive the sealing slide plate one 26 to move downward, causing the mounting ring two 42 on the sealing slide plate one 26 to drive the two connecting rods two 28 to move downward. The two connecting rods two 28 drive the gear six 54 and the first bevel gear 32 to rotate counterclockwise by ninety degrees (as shown in Figure 4 the direction), the first bevel gear 32 drives the gear three 35 to rotate clockwise by ninety degrees through the second bevel gear 34. The gear three 35 drives the auxiliary suction plate 1 to rotate by ninety degrees through the tooth column 33 and the first shaft rod 19, making the two auxiliary suction plates 1 in a straight line. Subsequently, the motor two 49 starts to rotate. The motor two 49 drives the transmission gear ring 27 to rotate through the gear five 48. The transmission gear ring 27 drives the mounting ring one 2 to rotate, enabling the two auxiliary suction plates 1 to assist in the adhesion of the blue film to the wafer, resulting in a better adhesion effect.

[0043] During the rotation process, the transmission rack one 22 will drive the gear one 16 to rotate. The gear one 16 drives the two support rods 17 to move away from each other, so that the two support rods 17 no longer obstruct the float 40. Since the float 40 is affected by the negative pressure of the blower 38, it will continue to move downward, causing air port one 41 to no longer communicate with the main suction plate 3, but to communicate with the channels six 43 on both sides. There is a ventilation hose (not shown in the figure) connected between the connection port two 51 and the connection port one 20. Subsequently, the two auxiliary suction plates 1 will adsorb the wafer with the blue film pasted. At the same time, the two support rods 17 moving away from each other will cause the two connecting rods one 14 to drive the two sealing plates one 36 to move, thereby causing the two sealing plates one 36 to seal the channel four 12. At the same time, the sealing plate one 36 will drive the two sealing plates two 52 to open, allowing the air generated by the negative pressure to blow into the channel three 11 and the channel two 9. As the gas gradually increases, the two Y-shaped slide rods 8 will also be pushed out, causing the two slide rods one 7 to gradually rise along the Y-shaped slide rods 8. When reaching the topmost point, the two motors one 21 start to rotate by one hundred and eighty degrees to turn the wafer over for subsequent cutting.

[0044] After the turning over is completed, the fan 38 stops running, and the second motor 49 continues to rotate so that the first ventilation pipe 13 communicates with the third air port 50 near the first gear 16. Since the tension spring 53 between the two Y-shaped sliding rods 8 will reset the two Y-shaped sliding rods 8 immediately, the internal gas will enter the third air port 50 along the first ventilation pipe 13. When the first ventilation pipe 13 is not connected to the third air port 50, the first ventilation pipe 13 is in a closed state, so that the limit protection rod 4 inside the circular mounting plate 25 extends out. After the limit protection rod 4 completely extends out, the upper surface of the limit protection rod 4 will be higher than the auxiliary suction plate 1. At this time, the limit protection rod 4 plays a role in limiting the wafer. Subsequently, the second motor 49 rotates in the reverse direction so that the auxiliary suction plate 1 is located between the first gear 16 and the third air port 50, and the fan 38 sucks air in the reverse direction. The remaining gas blows the float 40 up, so that the two auxiliary suction plates 1 are reset. At the same time, the blown-up gas flows out through the main suction plate 3, playing a role in supporting the descent of the wafer. Subsequently, the limit protection rod 4 slowly drops, and the second motor 49 rotates to reset the first mounting ring 2. The first motor 21 flips to facilitate the next clamping.
