Description

[0002] An exposure machine is a crucial piece of equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) production, and other processes requiring precise pattern transfer. It's primarily used to accurately transfer the pattern on a mask onto a photosensitive material. Generally speaking, an exposure machine consists of a light source system, a mask, and a carrier system. When in use, the PCB is placed on the carrier system, and the light emitted by the light source system passes through the mask, projecting the pattern onto the photosensitive material of the PCB. After the PCB is exposed, a developer is applied to remove the dry film from the unexposed areas and retain the cured resist pattern.

[0040] Use the exposure mechanism 100 to load the PCB board, thereby preparing for exposure;

[0042] When the exposure is completed and the material is unloaded, the developing mechanism 300 will be started to spray the developing liquid on the surface of the PCB board during the unloading process for development to achieve automatic development. Before development, the lifting component 302 will be triggered to lift the bubble elimination mechanism 200 to avoid the presence of developing liquid on the bubble elimination mechanism 200, and the excess developing liquid will be recovered through the recovery component 303 during the development process. Example 2

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , which is a second embodiment of the present invention, provides an exposure mechanism 100, a bubble elimination mechanism 200 and a development mechanism 300 to achieve bubble elimination before exposure and development after exposure.

[0044] The exposure mechanism 100 includes an exposure platform 101, an exposure device 102 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the exposure platform 101, a placement box 103 is slidably connected to the top of the exposure platform 101, and both sides of the left side of the exposure platform 101 are fixedly connected to an electric telescopic rod 104, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 104 passes through the interior of the exposure platform 101 and is fixedly connected to a connecting seat 105, and the right side of the connecting seat 105 is movably connected to both sides of the left side of the placement box 103; a bubble elimination mechanism 200 includes a squeezing roller 201, the squeezing roller 201 is located on the right side of the top of the exposure platform 101, and both sides of the squeezing roller 201 are movably connected to movable parts 202; and a developing mechanism 300 includes a spray head 301, a lifting component 302 and a recovery component 303, both sides of the bottom of the spray head 301 are fixedly connected to the right sides of the top of the exposure platform 101, and the right sides of the two sides of the exposure platform 101 are fixedly connected to a liquid injection cylinder 304, and the interior of the liquid injection cylinder 304 is movably connected to a piston rod 3 05, the left side of the piston rod 305 passes through the left side of the liquid injection cylinder 304 and is connected to the placement box 103. Both sides of the exposure platform 101 are provided with movable grooves 306. The interior of the movable grooves 306 is slidably connected to the sliding rods 307. The inner side of the sliding rods 307 is fixedly connected to the left sides of the placement box 103. The outer side of the sliding rods 307 is fixedly connected to the left side of the piston rod 305. The top of the right side of the liquid injection cylinder 304 is connected to the first one-way valve 308. The bottom of the right side of the liquid injection cylinder 304 is connected to the There is a second one-way valve 309, the liquid injection cylinder 304 is connected to the spray head 301 through the first one-way valve 308, and the liquid injection cylinder 304 is connected to the external developer through the second one-way valve 309. The right sides of both sides of the top of the exposure platform 101 are fixedly connected to the limit rail 203, the inner wall of the limit rail 203 is slidably connected to the surface of the movable part 202, and the outer side of the top of the movable part 202 is fixedly connected with a spring 204, and the other end of the spring 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the limit rail 203.

[0045] Specifically, the exposure device 102 is started to expose the PCB board. When the placement box 103 moves to the bottom of the exposure device 102, the squeezing roller 201 can roll in the process of squeezing the top of the PCB board, which can squeeze out the bubbles between the top of the PCB board and the covered film, thereby eliminating the bubbles. When the PCB board is pushed out after the exposure is completed, the top of the PCB board is evenly sprayed with developer to remove the dry film in the unexposed area and retain the cured resist layer pattern.

[0046] When the PCB is exposed, the user starts the electric telescopic rod 104 to move the placement box 103 to the right, so that the placement box 103 is exposed. Then, the PCB is placed in the placement box 103, and the electric telescopic rod 104 is started to reset the placement box 103. At this time, the exposure device 102 can be started to expose the PCB. In the process of the electric telescopic rod 104 pulling the placement box 103 to move below the exposure device 102, the elastic force of the spring 204 can push the movable member 202 downward, so that the movable member 202 moves downward along the inner wall of the limit rail 203. Then, the movable member 202 drives the squeezing roller 201 to move downward, so that the PCB drives the squeezing roller 201 to rotate in the process of moving the placement box 103 to the left, so that the squeezing roller 201 can roll in the process of squeezing the top of the PCB, so that the bubbles between the top of the PCB and the covered film can be squeezed out, thereby eliminating the bubbles. When the box 103 moves to the left and brings the PCB to the exposure position, the placement box 103 drives the slide bar 307 to move to the left along the inner wall of the movable groove 306, and then the slide bar 307 drives the piston rod 305 to move to the left, and then the space in the injection cylinder 304 gradually expands, so that the injection cylinder 304 can draw the external developer into the injection cylinder 304 through the second one-way valve 309 that only allows liquid to enter for preparation. When the electric telescopic rod 104 drives the placement box 103 to move to the right and pushes the PCB to the exposure position, the electric telescopic rod 104 drives the placement box 103 to move to the right and pushes the PCB to the exposure position. When ejecting, the placement box 103 will drive the slide bar 307 to move to the right along the inner wall of the movable groove 306, and then the slide bar 307 will drive the piston rod 305 to move to the right, and then the piston rod 305 will compress the space in the liquid injection cylinder 304, so that the developer stored in the liquid injection cylinder 304 is squeezed and discharged into the spray head 301 through the first one-way valve 308 that only allows liquid to be discharged for spraying, so that the top of the pushed-out PCB board is evenly sprayed with the developer, removing the dry film in the unexposed area and retaining the cured resist layer pattern. Example 3

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention, provides a lifting component 302 and a recovery component 303 to achieve the bubble elimination function when the developer is sprayed and to recover the excess developer.

[0048] The lifting assembly 302 includes a transmission block 302a, which is provided with two transmission blocks 302a. The bottom of the transmission block 302a is movably connected to the right sides of both sides of the top of the placement box 103. The outer side of the top of the inner wall of the movable part 202 is fixedly connected with an extension block 302b. The bottom of the extension block 302b is fixedly connected with a force-bearing plate 302c. The left side of the force-bearing plate 302c is movably connected to the right side of the transmission block 302a. The right side of the transmission block 302a and the left side of the force-bearing plate 302c are both inclined. The outer side of the left side of the transmission block 302a is inclined. The inner side of the left side of the transmission block 302a is fixedly connected with a tension spring 302d. The other end of the tension spring 302d is fixedly connected to a limiting piece 302e. The bottom of the limiting piece 302e is fixedly connected to the right sides of both sides of the top of the placement box 103. Both sides of the top of the placement box 103 are fixedly connected The support bar 302f, the right side of the support bar 302f is inclined, the support bar 302f is located on the left side of the force-bearing plate 302c, the recovery component 303 includes a recovery box 303a, the recovery box 303a is located at the bottom of the right side of the placement box 103, the left side of the top of both sides of the recovery box 303a is movably connected with a connecting piece 303b, the top of the left side of the connecting piece 303b is fixedly connected to the bottom of the right side of the placement box 103, the bottom of the recovery box 303a is fixedly connected with a counterweight block 303c, the bottom of the inner wall of the placement box 103 is provided with a guide groove 303d inclined to the right, there are several guide grooves 303d and they are equidistantly distributed, the guide groove 303d is opened to the right side of the placement box 103, the top of the right side of the inner wall of the placement box 103 is provided with a leakage hole 303e, there are several leakage holes 303e and they are equidistantly distributed.

[0049] Specifically, when the placement box 103 drives the PCB board to move to the right and push it out, it will drive the squeezing roller 201 to move upward, so that the PCB board pushed out after completing exposure is no longer squeezed by the squeezing roller 201. At the same time, it can also prevent the developer from being sprayed onto the surface of the squeezing roller 201 when the spray head 301 sprays the developer, causing the squeezing roller 201 to smear the developer on the top of the PCB board when removing bubbles next time. When the PCB board is sprayed with the developer, the excess developer is recovered through the recovery box 303a to avoid waste of developer.

[0050] Furthermore, when the placement box 103 drives the PCB board to move to the right and is pushed out, the transmission block 302a and the support bar 302f will be driven to move synchronously to the right. Then, when the transmission block 302a is limited by the limiting piece 302e, the inclined surface on the left side of the force-bearing plate 302c will contact the inclined surface on the right side of the transmission block 302a, and the force-bearing plate 302c will be pushed. Then, the force-bearing plate 302c will move upward a short distance. At this time, the left side of the force-bearing plate 302c will contact the inclined surface on the right side of the support bar 302f. As the support bar 302f moves to the right, the force-bearing plate 302c will be driven to move upward to the top of the support bar 302f, so that the top of the support bar 302f is aligned with the bottom of the force-bearing plate 302c. The support bar 302f is separated from the force-bearing plate 302c and is reset by the spring 204 when the placement box 103 moves to the right. The PCB board is pushed to the left by the placement box 103 to move to the exposure position. During the downward process, the placement box 103 will synchronously drive the transmission block 302a and the support bar 302f to move to the left. First, the support bar 302f will move to the top of the reset force-bearing plate 302c and slide on the inner side of the top of the force-bearing plate 302c and the inner side of the extension block 302b. Then the inclined surface on the left side of the transmission block 302a will contact the right side of the force-bearing plate 302c. At this time, the transmission block 302a will drive the transmission block 302a to rotate as the inclined surface and the force-bearing plate 302c slide. At the same time, the tension spring 302d is pulled to generate tension. After the transmission block 302a is separated from the force-bearing plate 302c, the tension of the tension spring 302d will be released, thereby pulling the transmission block 302a to reset, thereby preparing for the next use. When the PCB board is sprayed with developer, the excess developer can flow out to the right through the guide groove 303d and the leakage hole 303e, and then be recovered through the recovery box 303a. When the placement box 103 moves to the rightmost side, the sliding connection between the slide bar 307 and the movable groove 306 and the lack of support at the bottom of the placement box 103 cause the right side of the placement box 103 to tilt downward, thereby improving the recovery efficiency of the excess developer. In addition, the weight of the recovery box 303a is increased by the counterweight block 303c, so that when the placement box 103 is tilted, the recovery box 303a will rotate, so that the recovery position of the recovery box 303a always faces the position where the placement box 103 pours out the developer, thereby ensuring the stability of the recovery.

[0051] The remaining structures are the same as those of Example 2. Example 4

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , which is the fourth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is different from the third embodiment in that: this embodiment provides an exposure device and method for PCB board processing.

[0053] When the user needs to perform exposure processing on the PCB board, the user starts the electric telescopic rod 104 to drive the placement box 103 to move to the right, so that the placement box 103 is exposed. Then the PCB board is placed in the placement box 103, and the electric telescopic rod 104 is started to drive the placement box 103 to return to its original position. At this time, the exposure device 102 can be started to perform exposure processing on the PCB board.

[0054] In the process of the electric telescopic rod 104 pulling the placement box 103 to move below the exposure device 102, the elastic force of the spring 204 can push the movable part 202 to move downward, so that the movable part 202 moves downward along the inner wall of the limit rail 203, and then the movable part 202 drives the squeezing roller 201 to move downward, so that the PCB board drives the squeezing roller 201 to rotate in the process of moving to the left as the placement box 103 moves, so that the squeezing roller 201 can roll in the process of squeezing the top of the PCB board, which can squeeze out the bubbles between the top of the PCB board and the covering film, thereby eliminating the bubbles.

[0055] When the electric telescopic rod 104 drives the placement box 103 to move to the left, thereby moving the PCB to the exposure position, the placement box 103 drives the slide bar 307 to move to the left along the inner wall of the movable groove 306, and then the slide bar 307 drives the piston rod 305 to move to the left, and then the space in the injection cylinder 304 gradually expands, so that the injection cylinder 304 draws the external developer into the injection cylinder 304 through the second one-way valve 309 that only allows liquid to enter for preparation. When the electric telescopic rod 104 drives the placement box 103 to move to the right, the developer is drawn into the injection cylinder 304. When the PCB board is pushed out, the placement box 103 will drive the slide bar 307 to move to the right along the inner wall of the movable groove 306, and then the slide bar 307 will drive the piston rod 305 to move to the right. Then the piston rod 305 will compress the space in the liquid injection cylinder 304, so that the developer stored in the liquid injection cylinder 304 is squeezed and discharged into the spray head 301 through the first one-way valve 308 that only allows liquid to be discharged for spraying, so that the top of the pushed out PCB board is evenly sprayed with the developer, removing the dry film in the unexposed area and retaining the cured resist layer pattern.

[0056] When the placement box 103 drives the PCB to move to the right and pushes it out, it will drive the transmission block 302a and the support bar 302f to move to the right synchronously. Then, the transmission block 302a will make the inclined surface on the left side of the force-bearing plate 302c contact the inclined surface on the right side of the transmission block 302a under the limit of the limiting piece 302e, and will push the force-bearing plate 302c. Then, the force-bearing plate 302c will move upward a short distance. At this time, the left side of the force-bearing plate 302c will contact the inclined surface on the right side of the support bar 302f. As the support bar 302e is moved upward, the left side of the force-bearing plate 302c will contact the inclined surface on the right side of the support bar 302f. The movement of 02f to the right will drive the force-bearing plate 302c to move upward to the top of the support bar 302f, so that the top of the support bar 302f and the bottom of the force-bearing plate 302c slide. At this time, the force-bearing plate 302c has moved upward to the maximum distance. As the force-bearing plate 302c moves upward, the squeezing roller 201 is driven upward by the movable part 202, so that the PCB board pushed out after the exposure is completed is no longer squeezed by the squeezing roller 201. At the same time, it can also prevent the developer from being sprayed onto the squeezing roller 201 when the developer is sprayed by the spray head 301. 1 causes the squeezing roller 201 to apply the developer to the top of the PCB board during the next bubble removal. After the placement box 103 moves to the right to the maximum distance, the support bar 302f is separated from the force plate 302c and is pushed to reset by the elastic force of the spring 204. When the placement box 103 drives the PCB board to move to the left to the bottom of the exposure position, the placement box 103 will synchronously drive the transmission block 302a and the support bar 302f to move to the left. First, the support bar 302f will move to the reset force plate 302c. 2c top and the inner side of the top of the force-bearing plate 302c and the inner side of the extension block 302b slide, and then the inclined surface on the left side of the transmission block 302a will contact the right side of the force-bearing plate 302c. At this time, the transmission block 302a will drive the transmission block 302a to rotate as the inclined surface and the force-bearing plate 302c slide, and at the same time, the tension spring 302d is pulled to generate tension. After the transmission block 302a is separated from the force-bearing plate 302c, the tension of the tension spring 302d will be released, thereby pulling the transmission block 302a to reset, so as to prepare for next use.

[0057] When the PCB board is sprayed with developer, the excess developer can flow out to the right through the guide groove 303d and the leakage hole 303e, and then be recovered through the recovery box 303a. When the placement box 103 moves to the rightmost side, the sliding connection between the slide bar 307 and the movable groove 306 and the lack of support at the bottom of the placement box 103 cause the right side of the placement box 103 to tilt downward, thereby improving the recovery efficiency of the excess developer. In addition, the weight of the recovery box 303a is increased by the counterweight block 303c, so that when the placement box 103 is tilted, the recovery box 303a will rotate, so that the recovery position of the recovery box 303a always faces the position where the placement box 103 pours out the developer, thereby ensuring the stability of the recovery.

[0058] In summary, the PCB board is loaded and exposed through the exposure mechanism 100. During the loading process, the bubble elimination mechanism 200 is started to squeeze and roll the PCB board, and the bubbles are squeezed out to achieve bubble elimination. When the exposure is completed and the board is unloaded, the developing mechanism 300 is started to spray the developing liquid on the surface of the PCB board during the unloading process for development.
