[0042] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0043] The wafer spin coating device provided by the embodiment of the present application aims to optimize the process of double-sided spin coating of wafers. By designing the spin coating chuck and the supporting vacuum adsorption pipeline and air supply pipeline, the wafer spin coating device realizes non-contact operation for double-sided spin coating of wafers. The core of this design is that it avoids possible contamination and structural damage in the traditional double-sided spin coating process. In the traditional double-sided spin coating process, since the wafer needs to be spin coated on both sides respectively, when the wafer is flipped, the spin-coated side may contact the spin coating chuck, resulting in glue contamination or wafer structure damage. The device of the present application effectively solves this problem through non-contact operation, significantly improving the production efficiency and yield of products.

[0044] In addition, the wafer spin coating device not only supports single-sided spin coating of wafers, but also is compatible with double-sided spin coating, showing extremely high flexibility and adaptability. This means that the device can meet the requirements of both single-sided spin coating and double-sided spin coating, thereby improving the utilization rate and application range of the device.

[0058] The following will describe in detail the wafer spin coating equipment, the wafer double-sided spin coating method, and the wafer spin coating system provided by the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present application, a wafer spin coating equipment is provided. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the wafer spin coating equipment includes a spin coating chuck 1, a vacuum adsorption pipeline 3, a gas supply pipeline 4, and a stage 5; wherein, the spin coating chuck 1 has a plurality of air holes 2 for carrying the wafer 01 to be spin coated; the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 is connected to the spin coating chuck 1 and is used for vacuum adsorbing the second surface B of the wafer 01 through the air holes 2 when spin coating the first surface A of the wafer 01, and releasing the second surface B after the spin coating of the first surface A is completed, so that the wafer 01 can be flipped to the second surface B facing away from the spin coating chuck 1; the gas supply pipeline 4 is connected to the spin coating chuck 1 and is used for providing an air flow to the first surface A through the air holes 2 when spin coating the second surface B, so as to form a gas layer between the spin coating chuck 1 and the first surface A, and the gas layer can support the wafer 01 in a suspended state, so that the first surface A and the spin coating chuck 1 are kept in a non-contact state; the stage 5 is used for carrying the spin coating chuck 1, and the spin coating chuck 1 is configured to be able to rotate relative to the stage 5.

[0060] The wafer spin coating equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the semiconductor manufacturing field, especially in the process of wafer processing, for realizing uniform coating on one side or both sides of the wafer.

[0061] For the wafer spin coating equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application, the description of the main components is as follows.

[0062] The wafer spin coating equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a spin coating chuck 1. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the spin coating chuck 1 has a plurality of air holes 2, and these air holes 2 play a key role in the process of spin coating the wafer 01 to be spin coated. Specifically:

[0063] First of all, the plurality of air holes 2 on the spin coating chuck 1 can be used to carry the wafer 01 to be spin coated and ensure the stability and position accuracy of the wafer 01 during the spin coating process.

[0064] Furthermore, through the design of these air holes 2, non-contact operation between the wafer 01 to be spin coated and the spin coating chuck 1 is also realized. For example, refer to Figure 4 (h) to (j) in Figure 5, when spin coating is performed on the second side B of the wafer 01 to be spin coated, the air supply pipeline 4 provides air flow to the already spin coated first side A through a plurality of air holes 2 on the spin coating chuck 1, forming a gas layer to support the wafer 01 in a suspended state without contacting the spin coating chuck 1. This design not only effectively protects the cleanliness of the spin coating environment, avoids the possible contamination caused by the direct contact between the already spin coated first side A of the wafer 01 and the spin coating chuck 1, but also reduces the wear of the spin coating chuck 1 and extends the service life of the equipment. In short, the design of the present application avoids the contamination and structural damage that may be caused by the direct contact between the wafer 01 to be spin coated and the spin coating chuck 1 in the traditional spin coating process.

[0065] In the wafer spin coating equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application, the spin coating chuck 1 is arranged to be able to rotate relative to the stage 5. This design makes the spin coating process more uniform and improves the spin coating quality of the wafer.

[0066] When the spin coating chuck 1 rotates relative to the stage 5, the wafer 01 will rotate together with the spin coating chuck 1. This rotational movement will cause the glue dropped on the surface of the wafer 01 to be more evenly distributed on the surface of the wafer 01 (i.e., the first side A or the second side B) under the action of centrifugal force.

[0067] During the process of the spin coating chuck 1 driving the wafer 01 to rotate, referring to Figure 3 (c) in, the glue at the center of the first side A of the wafer 01 is continuously subjected to the air flow shear force from the edge of the spin coating chuck 1, which helps to further refine the glue particles and make their distribution more uniform, so as to form a glue layer on the first side A of the wafer 01, referring to Figure 3 (d) in. This realizes the spin coating operation on one side of the wafer. This rotational design in the present application ensures that the glue can be evenly coated on the surface of the wafer in the best way to meet specific process requirements.

[0068] In addition, by controlling the rotation parameters, glue layers with different thicknesses and uniformities can be achieved, so as to meet the specific requirements of subsequent process steps.

[0069] The wafer spin coating equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a vacuum adsorption pipeline 3, referring to Figure 1 、 Figures 3 to 5 , the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 is connected to the spin coating chuck 1 and is used to perform vacuum adsorption and fixation on the second side B of the wafer 01 through a plurality of air holes 2 on the spin coating chuck 1 when spin coating is performed on the first side A of the wafer 01 to be spin coated. In this way, the wafer 01 to be spin coated can be fixed on the surface of the spin coating chuck 1 with its first side A facing up and the second side B facing down, please refer to Figure 3 (b) in orFigure 4 in (b) of

[0070] After the spin coating is completed on the first side A of the wafer 01 to be spin coated, the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 will release the vacuum adsorption effect on the second side B, which enables the wafer 01 to be flipped to a state where the second side B is facing up and the first side A is facing down, that is, the second side B of the wafer 01 to be spin coated faces away from the spin coating chuck 1. Please refer to Figure 4 (h) in, which facilitates the subsequent spin coating operation on the second side B.

[0071] The vacuum adsorption effect of the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 ensures the position stability of the wafer 01 to be spin coated during the spin coating process, preventing the wafer 01 from falling off or shifting during rotation or flipping.

[0072] In addition, in the design of the wafer spin coating equipment provided in this application, by controlling the opening and closing states of the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3, the fixation and flipping of the wafer 01 to be spin coated can be achieved. This design greatly promotes the convenience of double-sided spin coating operation of the wafer.

[0073] Specifically, when the spin coating on the first side A of the wafer 01 to be spin coated is completed, the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 will timely release the vacuum adsorption force on the second side B of the wafer 01, so that the spin coated wafer 01 can be stably flipped to facilitate the spin coating process on the second side B.

[0074] During the double-sided spin coating process, for the flipping operation of the wafer, this application embodiment provides a variety of flexible implementation methods. One method is manual flipping, that is, the operator can directly physically flip the wafer. Another more efficient method is to use an automated mechanical structure, such as a precision manipulator, to perform the flipping operation of the wafer. The manipulator can accurately grasp, flip and reposition the wafer, which not only improves the accuracy and stability of flipping, but also significantly improves the overall production efficiency of double-sided spin coating. Such a design not only ensures the high-quality completion of double-sided spin coating of the wafer, but also meets the requirements of different production scales and automation levels.

[0075] The wafer spin coating equipment provided in this application embodiment, in addition to including the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3, further includes a gas supply pipeline 4. Please refer to Figure 1 , the gas supply pipeline 4 is connected to the spin coating chuck 1.

[0076] In the wafer spin coating equipment provided in this application embodiment, the design of the gas supply pipeline 4 realizes the non-contact operation between the wafer 01 to be spin coated and the spin coating chuck 1. This design not only improves the cleanliness of the spin coating process, but also effectively avoids the contamination and structural damage that may be caused by the direct contact between the wafer 01 to be spin coated and the spin coating chuck 1.

[0077] The supply gas pipeline 4 is connected to the spin chuck 1. Its function is to provide a stable gas flow (such as nitrogen) to the first side A of the wafer 01 through a plurality of air holes 2 on the spin chuck 1 when spin coating is performed on the second side B of the wafer 01. This gas flow forms a thin gas layer between the wafer 01 to be spin coated and the spin chuck 1. This gas layer plays a key supporting role, enabling the wafer 01 to be spin coated to remain suspended without contacting the surface of the spin chuck 1. Please refer to Figure 4 (h) in, so that the already spin coated first side A will not be damaged or impaired.

[0078] In the traditional spin coating process, the direct contact between the wafer 01 to be spin coated and the chuck may cause problems such as glue residue and particle contamination. The design of the supply gas pipeline 4 in this application completely isolates the physical contact between the wafer and the chuck through the ejected gas flow, thereby effectively avoiding these contamination problems.

[0079] In addition, the wafer needs to withstand a certain amount of centrifugal force and frictional force during the spin coating process. If the wafer is in direct contact with the chuck, these forces may cause minor scratches and structural deformation on the surface of the wafer. The non-contact operation provided by the supply gas pipeline 4 in this application avoids these potential damage risks and protects the integrity of the wafer.

[0080] With the design of this application, since there is no physical contact between the wafer 01 to be spin coated and the spin chuck 1, the glue can be more evenly distributed, reducing the formation of defects, and thus a smoother and more uniform glue layer can be obtained on the surface of the wafer.

[0081] The wafer spin coating equipment provided by the embodiment of this application further includes a stage 5. Please refer to Figure 1 , and the stage 5 is used to carry the spin chuck 1 and provide stable support for it.

[0082] The design of the stage 5 enables the spin chuck 1 to rotate relative to it, thus meeting the rotation requirements during the wafer spin coating process.

[0083] According to the wafer spin coating equipment provided by the embodiment of this application, its technical effects are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0084] First, it realizes the high efficiency and precision of double-sided wafer spin coating:

[0085] The wafer spin coating equipment of the present application realizes non-contact operation during the double-sided spin coating process of wafers through the design of the spin coating chuck 1, in cooperation with the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 and the air supply pipeline 4. When spin coating the first side A of the wafer 01 to be spin coated, the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 performs vacuum adsorption on the second side B of the wafer through the multiple pores 2, ensuring that the wafer 01 is stably fixed on the spin coating chuck 1. After the spin coating of the first side A is completed, the vacuum adsorption is released, and the wafer 01 can be flipped for spin coating of the second side B. At the same time, the non-contact operation avoids the direct contact between the already spin-coated first side A of the wafer and the spin coating chuck during the traditional double-sided spin coating process, reducing the possibility of contamination and structural damage, and improving the accuracy of spin coating.

[0086] Second, it enhances the compatibility and flexibility of the equipment;

[0087] The wafer spin coating equipment of the present application not only supports single-sided spin coating of wafers but also is compatible with double-sided spin coating of wafers. This feature enables the wafer spin coating equipment to exhibit extremely high flexibility and adaptability when dealing with diverse production tasks.

[0088] Third, it protects the spin coating environment and helps extend the service life of the equipment;

[0089] When spin coating the second side B of the wafer 01 to be spin coated, the air supply pipeline 4 provides air flow to the first side A of the wafer 01 through the multiple pores 2, and the formed gas layer can support the wafer 01 in a suspended state. This design not only effectively avoids the direct contact between the wafer 01 and the spin coating chuck 1, protects the cleanliness of the spin coating environment, but also reduces the wear of the spin coating chuck. In the long run, this helps extend the service life of the equipment and reduce the maintenance cost.

[0090] The wafer spin coating equipment provided by the embodiments of the present application provides a new solution for the field of wafer manufacturing through the collaborative work of its main components.

[0091] In some examples of the present application, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the wafer spin coating equipment further includes a plurality of clamping parts 6, and each clamping part 6 is connected to the spin coating chuck 1 through a driving bracket 7; the driving bracket 7 includes a first rod part 71 and a second rod part 72; wherein, one end of the first rod part 71 is connected to the side part of the spin coating chuck 1 and can move in the horizontal direction to adjust the position of the clamping part 6 in the horizontal direction, so as to adapt to wafers 01 of different sizes; one end of the second rod part 72 is connected to the other end of the first rod part 71, the other end of the second rod part 72 is connected to the clamping part 6, and can move in the vertical direction to adjust the height of the clamping part 6 in the vertical direction.

[0092] In this example of the present application, the wafer spin coating equipment introduces the design of the clamping part 6 and its driving bracket 7, which is designed to improve the flexibility and adaptability of double-sided wafer spin coating.

[0093] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 in (j) and Figure 5 in (k)-(l). The main function of the clamping part 6 is to clamp the wafer 01 to ensure that during the spin coating process of the second side B of the wafer 01, the wafer 01 can be stably and accurately positioned above the spin coating chuck 1, and the first side A (spin-coated side) of the wafer 01 is kept in a non-contact state with the spin coating chuck 1.

[0094] See Figure 1 . The driving bracket 7 is mainly composed of a first rod part 71 and a second rod part 72. These two parts work together to achieve the movement of the connected clamping part 6 in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0095] The following will separately describe the first rod part 71 and the second rod part 72.

[0096] See Figure 1 . One end of the first rod part 71 is connected to the side of the spin coating chuck 1, and it can move in the horizontal direction. This mobility enables the adjustment of the distance between the multiple clamping parts 6 or the clamping range, so as to adapt to clamping wafers 01 of different sizes to be spin-coated. This design increases the versatility and flexibility of the entire wafer spin coating equipment.

[0097] The first rod part 71 can move in the horizontal direction, for example, it means that the first rod part 71 can extend or shorten in the horizontal direction.

[0098] Please continue to see Figure 1 . One end of the second rod part 72 is connected to the other end of the first rod part 71, and the other end of the second rod part 72 is connected to the clamping part 6. The second rod part 72 can move in the vertical direction. This vertical mobility enables the clamping part 6 to clamp the floating wafer 01 (such as a wafer floating under the action of nitrogen buoyancy), see Figure 4 in (j) to ensure that during the spin coating process, the wafer 01 is kept in a non-contact state with the spin coating chuck 1, avoiding contamination of the spin-coated surface and structural damage.

[0099] The second rod part 72 can move in the vertical direction, for example, it means that the second rod part 72 can extend or shorten in the vertical direction.

[0100] In the design of the present application, the driving bracket 7 drives the clamping part 6 to be able to clamp the circumferential side of the wafer 01 in a suspended state. Refer to Figure 4 (j) in

[0101] In one example, the clamping part 6 is provided with eight, for example, and the clamping part 6 and the driving bracket 7 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, so the driving bracket 7 is also provided with eight. When the clamping part 6 is provided with eight, the stability and accuracy of clamping the wafer 01 can be improved.

[0102] In some examples of the present application, refer to Figure 4 (h) to (j) in

[0103] When spin coating is performed on the second side B of the wafer 01, the second rod portion 72 is used to drive the clamping part 6 to move closer to the wafer 01 in the vertical direction, and the first rod portion 71 is used to drive the clamping part 6 to move in the horizontal direction to approach the wafer 01, so that the clamping part 6 can clamp the wafer 01 from the circumferential side of the wafer 01.

[0104] Refer to Figure 4 (i) in Figure 4 The second rod portion 72 is used to drive the clamping part 6 to move closer to the wafer 01 in the vertical direction. This action ensures that the clamping part 6 can move from below to above and approach the wafer 01 without disturbing the first side A (the spin-coated side) of the wafer 01. The first rod portion 71 is used to drive the clamping part 6 to move closer to the wafer 01 in the horizontal direction. Refer to

[0105]

[0106] In the wafer spin coating equipment provided in the present application, the clamping part 6 can be provided with eight, for example, so that the wafer 01 can be stably clamped from the circumferential side of the wafer 01.

[0107] ​The design of the clamping part 6 provided in this application allows it to clamp the wafer 01 from the peripheral side of the wafer 01, rather than directly pressing on the surface of the wafer 01. This clamping method avoids contaminating or damaging the first surface A with the applied photoresist, while ensuring the stability and accuracy during photoresist coating on the second surface B to be coated with photoresist.

[0108] In some examples of this application, refer to Figure 5 , after the photoresist coating on the second surface B of the wafer 01 is completed, the first rod part 71 and the second rod part 72 drive the clamping part 6 away from the wafer 01 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction respectively, so that the clamping part 6 releases the wafer 01.

[0109] That is to say, during the process of double-sided photoresist coating on the wafer, especially after the photoresist coating on the second surface B of the wafer 01 is completed, through the coordinated actions of the first rod part 71 and the second rod part 72 of the driving bracket 7, the clamping part 6 can be driven to smoothly move away from the wafer 01, so as to facilitate timely removal of the wafer after double-sided photoresist coating. For the wafer after double-sided photoresist coating, please refer to Figure 5 (n) in

[0110] In some examples of this application, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the plurality of air holes 2 extend from the surface of the photoresist coating chuck 1 to its interior, and are used to provide gas flow during the photoresist coating process.

[0111] Refer to Figure 3 (b) in

[0112] When the wafer 01 to be coated with photoresist is placed on the surface of the photoresist coating chuck 1 with the first surface A facing up and the second surface B facing down, the plurality of air holes 2 on the photoresist coating chuck 1 can ensure that the second surface B of the wafer 01 is stably and firmly adsorbed on the surface of the photoresist coating chuck 1 by providing a vacuum adsorption function. This design helps to prevent the wafer from moving or falling off during the photoresist coating process, thus ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the photoresist coating.

[0113] Refer to Figure 1, since the openings of the air holes 2 are only exposed on the surface of the spin chuck 1, when performing single-sided spin coating (such as spin coating on the first side A) on the wafer 01 to be spin coated, the other side (such as the second side B) of the wafer 01 can be in direct contact with the surface of the spin chuck 1, which is beneficial to stably vacuum adsorb and fix the wafer 01 on the surface of the spin chuck 1.

[0114] In some examples of the present application, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the plurality of air holes 2 include a plurality of fixed air holes 21 fixedly arranged on the spin chuck 1 and a plurality of movable air holes 22 arranged around its circumferential side; wherein, the air outlet angle of the movable air holes 22 can be adjusted relative to the spin chuck 1 or the fixed air holes 21, and by adjusting the air outlet angle, the air outlet direction of the movable air holes 22 can be controlled, so as to ensure that there is no position deviation when the wafer 01 floats above the spin chuck 1.

[0115] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , by arranging a plurality of movable air holes 22 on the surface of the spin chuck 1 and allowing the adjustment of their air outlet angles, the floating position of the wafer 01 above the spin chuck 1 can be better controlled. This design helps to ensure that the wafer 01 remains stable in the floating state and will not have position deviation due to uneven or unstable air flow.

[0116] During the wafer processing, refer to Figure 4 in (b), when it is necessary to perform vacuum adsorption on the second side B of the wafer 01, the fixed air holes 21 and the movable air holes 22 on the spin chuck 1 are both set to vertically provide vacuum adsorption gas to the second side B of the wafer 01. In this way, the wafer 01 can be firmly adsorbed on the spin chuck 1 to ensure stability during subsequent processing.

[0117] Subsequently, during the spin coating process on the second side B of the wafer, as shown in Figure 4 in (h), the wafer 01 is flipped over so that the original second side B facing down is now facing up, and the original first side A facing up is now facing down. At this time, the wafer 01 no longer needs to be vacuum adsorbed on the spin chuck, but needs to be suspended above the spin chuck 1 by air flow for subsequent operations such as spin coating.

[0118] To prevent the wafer 01 in the suspended state from shifting in position and affecting the quality of spin coating, the movable air holes 22 on the spin coating chuck 1 play a crucial role. These movable air holes 22 can adjust their air outlet angles according to actual needs. By precisely controlling the direction and intensity of the air flow, it is ensured that the wafer 01 remains stable in the suspended state without shifting in position. In this way, it can provide strong support for subsequent processes such as spin coating, ensuring the quality and performance of the product.

[0119] In some examples of the present application, one end of the air supply pipeline 4 is connected to a plurality of air holes 2 on the spin coating chuck 1, and the other end is connected to a nitrogen source. A flow control valve is provided on the air supply pipeline 4 for regulating the supply flow of nitrogen.

[0120] By connecting the air supply pipeline 4 to a plurality of air holes 2 on the spin coating chuck 1, it can ensure the reasonable distribution of nitrogen to each part of the spin coating chuck 1. This helps to keep the air pressure on the surface of the spin coating chuck 1 consistent during the spin coating process, thereby improving the uniformity and quality of spin coating.

[0121] The introduction of the flow control valve enables the supply flow of nitrogen to be regulated according to actual needs. By controlling the flow of nitrogen, the fluctuation of spin coating quality caused by unstable air flow can be reduced. This helps to improve the stability of the entire spin coating process, thereby ensuring the consistency and reliability of the product.

[0122] It should be noted that in addition to nitrogen, dry compressed air can also be used, but the cleanliness must be ensured, otherwise the glue on the first surface A of the wafer 01 will be contaminated. The reason for preferentially choosing N2 is that it has relatively high cleanliness.

[0123] In some examples of the present application, a vacuum pump is provided on the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3, and the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 is communicated with a plurality of air holes 2 on the spin coating chuck 1.

[0124] The vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 is communicated with a plurality of air holes 2 on the spin coating chuck 1, ensuring that the vacuum adsorption force can be transmitted to the surface of the spin coating chuck 1, and then adsorbing the wafer.

[0125] For example, after the vacuum pump is started, the gas inside the spin coating chuck 1 is extracted through the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 to form a negative pressure environment. A plurality of air holes 2 on the spin coating chuck 1 are in contact with the wafer surface, transmitting the negative pressure to the wafer to achieve the vacuum adsorption of the wafer.

[0126] The vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 cooperating with a plurality of air holes 2 on the spin coating chuck 1 can generate a stronger adsorption force, ensuring that the wafer is firmly adsorbed on the spin coating chuck 1 during the spin coating process, avoiding displacement or falling off. The vacuum adsorption force improves the stability of the wafer during the spin coating process.

[0127] In some examples of the present application, referring to Figures 3 to 5 , the wafer spin coating device further includes a glue dropping pipeline 8, which is located above the spin coating chuck 1 and is configured to provide glue to the center position of the first surface A or the second surface B that has been flipped after the spin coating of the first surface A when spin coating the wafer 01.

[0128] The glue dropping pipeline 8 is located above the spin coating chuck 1 and is configured to be able to provide glue to the center position of the first surface A of the wafer 01 or the second surface B that has been flipped after the spin coating of the first surface A when spin coating the wafer 01.

[0129] When spin coating the first surface A of the wafer 01, the glue dropping pipeline 8 will move to directly above the wafer 01 and drop the glue at the center position of the first surface A of the wafer 01. Refer to Figure 4 (c) in

[0130] After the spin coating of the first surface A is completed, the wafer 01 will be flipped so that the second surface B faces upward. At this time, the glue dropping pipeline 8 will move to directly above the wafer 01 again, but this time it drops the glue at the center position of the flipped second surface B. Refer to Figure 5 (k) in

[0131] The automated configuration and control of the glue dropping pipeline 8 can shorten the time of the spin coating process, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0132] In some examples of the present application, the carrier 5 has a rotation driving device, and the rotation driving device is connected to the spin coating chuck 1 to drive the spin coating chuck 1 to rotate; after the wafer 01 is placed on the spin coating chuck 1 and glue is dropped, the rotation driving device drives the spin coating chuck 1 to rotate, and the generated centrifugal force is used to evenly coat the glue on the first surface A or the second surface B of the wafer 01.

[0133] A rotation driving device is configured on the carrier 5, and the rotation driving device and the spin coating chuck 1 can be in transmission connection. The rotation driving device serves as a power source to drive the spin coating chuck 1 to perform a rotational motion in Chinese.

[0134] When the wafer 01 is placed on the spin coating chuck 1 and an appropriate amount of glue has been dropped at the center of the wafer through the glue dropping pipeline 8, the rotation driving device starts to operate. Under the action of the rotation driving device, the spin coating chuck 1 drives the wafer 01 to rotate together. During the rotation process, the glue is affected by the centrifugal force and begins to uniformly spread from the center of the wafer 01 to the periphery until a uniform glue layer covers the first surface A or the second surface B of the wafer 01.

[0135] The glue application chuck 1 is driven to rotate by a rotation driving device, and by utilizing the generated centrifugal force, the glue can be very evenly coated on the surface of the wafer. This glue application method avoids the problems of uneven glue distribution or accumulation at the edge of the wafer, and significantly improves the uniformity and consistency of glue application. The automated operation of the rotation driving device greatly shortens the time required for the glue application process. Compared with the traditional manual glue application method, this automated glue application method can complete the glue application operation faster, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0136] By ensuring the even distribution of the glue on the surface of the wafer, problems such as process defects and increased product defect rate caused by uneven glue distribution can be avoided.

[0137] According to another embodiment of the present application, a method for double-sided glue application on a wafer is provided. Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the method for double-sided glue application on the wafer includes the following steps 100 to 500:

[0138] Step 100, as shown in (a) and (b) of Figure 4 , the wafer 01 to be glue-applied is placed on the surface of the glue application chuck 1 with its first side A facing up and its second side B facing down, and the second side B of the wafer 01 is vacuum-adsorbed and fixed through the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 and a plurality of air holes 2 on the glue application chuck 1;

[0139] Among them, as shown in (b) of Figure 4 , it shows that the second side B of the wafer 01 is vacuum-adsorbed and fixed by the glue application chuck 1.

[0140] Step 200, as shown in (c) and (d) of Figure 4 , glue is dropped on the first side A of the wafer 01, and the glue is evenly distributed on the first side A by the rotation of the glue application chuck 1 to complete the glue application on the first side A;

[0141] Among them, as shown in (d) of Figure 4 , a glue layer is formed on the first side A.

[0142] Step 300, release the vacuum-adsorbed wafer 01, and flip the wafer 01 so that its second side B faces up;

[0143] Regarding step 300, it should be noted that Figure 4 the process of flipping the wafer 01 is not shown in the flowchart shown, which may be completed by an external manipulator or manually; and the release of the vacuum of the wafer 01 can be referred to Figure 4In (e) thereof, the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 stops working, and gas such as nitrogen flows into the air supply pipeline 4.

[0144] Step 400, refer to Figure 4 As shown in (f) to (j) thereof, air flow is provided to the spin chuck 1 through the air supply pipeline 4, and the air flow shoots out from multiple air holes 2 of the spin chuck 1, so that the wafer 01 floats above the surface of the spin chuck 1 under the action of the air flow, and the already spin-coated first surface A is kept in a non-contact state with the spin chuck 1; wherein, the air flow is, for example, nitrogen air flow;

[0145] Wherein, Figure 4 (f) and (g) thereof show the air supply states of the fixed air holes 21 and the movable air holes 22. In particular, the air hole direction of the movable air holes 22 is adjusted;

[0146] Wherein, Figure 4 (h) thereof shows that the flipped wafer 01 floats above the surface of the spin chuck 1, the first surface A of the wafer 01 faces downward and a glue layer has been formed, and its second surface B faces upward, waiting for subsequent glue coating operation.

[0147] Step 500, refer to Figure 5 , glue is dropped on the second surface B, and the glue is evenly distributed on the second surface B by the rotation of the spin chuck 1, completing double-sided spin coating of the wafer;

[0148] Wherein, Figure 5 (k) thereof shows that glue is dropped onto the center position of the second surface B through the glue dropping pipeline 8, Figure 5 (l) thereof shows that a glue layer is formed on the second surface B.

[0149] The double-sided spin coating method for a wafer provided by the embodiment of the present application, through the control of the above steps 100 to step 500, first spin coats the first surface A of the wafer 01 to be spin coated, and then flips the wafer 01 without damaging the glue layer on the first surface A, and spin coats its second surface B. This step-by-step operation ensures the accuracy and consistency of double-sided spin coating, and is beneficial to improving the quality and performance of the final product.

[0150] In particular, during the spin coating of the second surface B of the wafer 01, air flow is provided to the spin chuck 1 through the air supply pipeline 4, so that the wafer 01 floats above the surface of the spin chuck 1, avoiding direct contact between the already spin-coated first surface A and the spin chuck 1. This non-contact spin coating method effectively prevents contamination and damage.

[0151] The above method provided by the embodiment of the present application aims to optimize the process of double-sided spin coating of a wafer. In addition, this spin coating method for a wafer also supports single-sided spin coating of the wafer.

[0152] In some examples of the present application, the method for spin coating both sides of the wafer further includes the following steps:

[0153] Referring to Figure 4 as shown in (f) and (g) in [[ID=]], after flipping the wafer 01 so that its second side B faces upward, adjust the outlet angle of the movable air holes 22 on the spin coating chuck 1, so that the wafer 01 can stably float above the surface of the spin coating chuck 1 under the action of air flow, and ensure that the center of the wafer 01 is aligned with the center of the spin coating chuck 1, so as to avoid position deviation during the spin coating process of the second side B.

[0154] By adjusting the outlet angle of the movable air holes 22, the direction and intensity of the air flow can be controlled, so that the wafer 01 can stably float above the surface of the spin coating chuck 1 under the action of the air flow. This stability plays a key role in the smooth progress of the subsequent spin coating process, avoiding uneven spin coating or failure caused by wafer shaking or deviation.

[0155] While adjusting the outlet angle of the movable air holes 22, by ensuring the alignment of the wafer center with the center of the spin coating chuck 1, the position of the wafer during the spin coating process can be controlled. This position accuracy is very important for ensuring the uniformity and consistency of spin coating, improving the quality and performance of the product.

[0156] The design of the movable air holes 22 increases the controllability of the spin coating process. By adjusting the position and outlet angle of the air holes, it can flexibly adapt to wafers of different sizes and types, as well as different spin coating requirements. This controllability makes the spin coating process more flexible and efficient.

[0157] Wherein, the range of the adjustable outlet angle of the movable air holes 22 can be between 30° and 45°.

[0158] By ensuring that there is no position deviation of the wafer during the spin coating process, problems such as uneven spin coating or inconsistent adhesive layer thickness caused by position error can be reduced.

[0159] In some examples of the present application, the method for spin coating both sides of the wafer further includes the following steps:

[0160] Referring to Figure 4 as shown in (i) and (j) in [[ID=]], during the spin coating process of the second side B of the wafer 01, drive the support bracket 7 to drive the clamping part 6 connected thereto to move, so as to clamp the wafer 01 floating above the surface of the spin coating chuck 1.

[0161] During the spin coating process of the second side B of the wafer 01, the wafer 01 needs to maintain extremely high stability to ensure uniform application of the glue. Referring toFigure 4 In (j), the clamping part 6 is driven by the driving bracket 7 to move and clamp the wafer 01 suspended above the spin chuck 1, which can effectively prevent the wafer from shaking or shifting during the spin coating process, thereby enhancing the stability of the wafer.

[0162] The clamping action of the clamping part 6 ensures the fixed position of the wafer 01 during the spin coating process, which enables the glue to be more evenly applied on the wafer surface.

[0163] In some examples of the present application, the double-sided spin coating method of the wafer further includes: Refer to Figure 5 as shown in (m), after the spin coating of the second side B is completed, the driving bracket 7 drives the clamping part 6 to release the wafer.

[0164] After the spin coating of the second side B is completed, releasing the wafer 01 in a timely manner facilitates subsequent processing steps.

[0165] In addition, long-term clamping may cause pressure damage or residual clamping marks to the wafer. Releasing the wafer immediately after spin coating is completed can reduce the risk of such damage and maintain the integrity and surface quality of the wafer.

[0166] In the present application, the precise control of the driving bracket 7 and the clamping part 6 makes the release process of the wafer 01 more controllable. This helps to ensure the stability and accuracy of the wafer during the release process and avoid the wafer from falling or being damaged due to improper release.

[0167] The embodiment of the present application also provides a single-sided spin coating method for a wafer. Refer to Figure 3 as shown, which includes the following steps 001 and 002:

[0168] Step 001, refer to Figure 3 as shown in (a) and (b), place the wafer 01 to be spin coated on the surface of the spin chuck 1 with its first side A facing up and the second side B facing down, and vacuum adsorb and fix the second side B of the wafer 01 through the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 and the multiple air holes 2 on the spin chuck 1; wherein, refer to Figure 3 as shown in (b), it shows that the second side B of the wafer 01 is vacuum adsorbed and fixed by the spin chuck 1.

[0169] Step 002, refer to Figure 3 as shown in (c) and (d), drip glue on the first side A of the wafer 01, and rotate the spin chuck 1 to make the glue evenly distributed on the first side A, and complete the spin coating of the first side A; wherein, refer to Figure 3 as shown in (d), a glue layer is formed on the first side A.

[0170] Of course, after the glue layer is formed on the first surface A of the wafer 01, the fixation of the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3 on the second surface B of the wafer 01 can be released, so that the wafer can be taken away.

[0171] According to another embodiment of the present application, a wafer spin coating system is provided, which includes:

[0172] The wafer spin coating equipment as described above;

[0173] A first manipulator for placing the wafer 01 on the spin chuck 1 with the first surface A facing upward;

[0174] A second manipulator for flipping the wafer 01 after the spin coating on the first surface A of the wafer 01 is completed, so that its second surface B faces upward for spin coating of the second surface B;

[0175] A third manipulator for taking away the wafer 01 from the position of the wafer 01 clamped or released by the clamping part 6 after the spin coating on the second surface B is completed;

[0176] A control system for controlling the vacuum adsorption pipeline 3, the air supply pipeline 4, the spin chuck 1 and the driving bracket 7 in the wafer spin coating equipment.

[0177] In some examples of the present application, the wafer spin coating system further includes a sensor, which is used to detect the position information of the wafer 01 when the wafer 01 is flipped to the second surface B facing upward and suspended above the surface of the spin chuck 1; the control system controls the adjustment mechanism to adjust the pore angle of the movable pores on the spin chuck 1 according to the position information fed back by the sensor.

[0178] Among them, the position information of the wafer 01 includes, but is not limited to, the alignment situation between the center position of the wafer and the center of the spin chuck.

[0179] The wafer spin coating system provided by the embodiments of the present application realizes the automatic process of wafer placement, flipping and taking away by integrating the first manipulator, the second manipulator and the third manipulator, improving the production efficiency. At the same time, the control system accurately controls each component in the wafer spin coating equipment, ensuring the stability of the spin coating process.

[0180] In particular, the addition of the sensor enables the entire system to detect the position information of the wafer in real time after flipping. The control system timely adjusts the angle of the movable pores on the spin chuck according to this feedback, thereby ensuring the accurate position and suspension stability of the wafer during the spin coating process, and further improving the uniformity of spin coating and the product quality.
