Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the preparation of two-dimensional materials, and in particular to a device for preparing wafer-level two-dimensional material films. Background Art
[0002] Two-dimensional material films refer to thin film materials formed by the arrangement of atoms or molecules on a two-dimensional plane, with a thickness of only a single atomic layer or a few atomic layers. Common two-dimensional materials include graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron nitride, black phosphorus, etc. Common preparation methods include mechanical exfoliation: obtaining a single layer or a few layers of two-dimensional materials by tape exfoliation, which is suitable for laboratory research; chemical vapor deposition (CVD): growing large-area, high-quality two-dimensional material films on a substrate, which is suitable for industrial production; liquid phase exfoliation: dispersing the bulk material in a solvent and exfoliating it into thin layers by ultrasound or shear force; epitaxial growth: preparing two-dimensional materials on a specific substrate by controlling the growth conditions.
[0003] However, its wafer-level large-scale preparation still faces technical bottlenecks, especially in the process of peeling the film from the growth substrate and transferring it to the target substrate. The film can easily be damaged, wrinkled or contaminated due to problems such as uneven mechanical stress and improper adhesion control, which seriously restricts device performance and yield.
[0004] Currently, the mainstream technology mostly uses tape-assisted stripping, but it has the following key defects:
[0005] High risk of film tearing: Traditional one-time peeling methods are prone to stress concentration due to sudden changes in local adhesion, especially at film edges or defects, causing uncontrolled tearing;
[0006] Insufficient pressure control during tape lamination: Existing lamination devices mostly use constant pressure or simple pressurization mode. The pressure changes too quickly or is unevenly distributed, which can easily damage the film or generate bubbles, affecting the interface bonding quality.
[0007] Low substrate transfer accuracy: Since the surface of the wafer is extremely fragile and easily damaged, the traditional clamping method can easily cause the wafer to deform, bend, and break. This can also lead to uneven growth of the second-order material film, affecting the film quality. When loading the wafer, it relies on mechanical clamping or a single adsorption point, which can easily cause the substrate to deform or shift, resulting in subsequent film alignment errors.
[0008] Limited degree of automation: The modules of the equipment have poor coordination, and the peeling and attaching processes rely on manual intervention, making it difficult to achieve efficient and repeatable operations. Summary of the Invention
[0009] This invention provides a wafer-scale two-dimensional material film preparation device. The technical problems addressed during the transfer of two-dimensional material films include: the risk of tearing caused by mechanical stress concentration, interface defects caused by uneven tape bonding pressure, wafer substrate damage caused by traditional clamping, and low manual operation efficiency. Through a phased peeling mechanism, staged progressive pressure bonding, a non-contact adsorption system based on the Bernoulli principle, and a fully automated process design, the device significantly reduces film breakage, improves interface bonding uniformity and transfer yield, and achieves efficient and non-destructive preparation of wafer-scale two-dimensional materials.
[0010] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the invention, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a device for preparing a wafer-level two-dimensional material film, including a substrate loading and transporting device, a film peeling mechanism, a stage-type pressurization attachment mechanism and a preparation table; the preparation table is provided with a wafer substrate storage cavity, and the preparation table is provided with a growth reaction chamber; the substrate loading and transporting device is used to pick up the wafer substrate from the wafer substrate storage cavity and place it in the growth reaction chamber; the growth reaction chamber is used to prepare a two-dimensional material film, so that the two-dimensional material film is deposited on the wafer substrate; the preparation table is provided with a film transfer table, which is used to peel off the generated two-dimensional material film from the wafer substrate and transfer it to the operating platform on the target substrate; the film peeling mechanism is used to peel off the two-dimensional material film from the wafer substrate by means of a peeling tape, and the peeling tape and the two-dimensional material film are pressed together by the stage-type pressurization attachment mechanism to improve the adsorption force of the tape on the film, thereby improving the peeling effect;
[0011] The film peeling mechanism includes a first mechanical arm and a peeler, wherein the peeler is arranged on the first mechanical arm, and the first mechanical arm has multi-dimensional movable and adjustable freedom, which can drive the peeler to move and adjust the position, thereby facilitating the peeling operation;
[0012] The staged pressurized attachment mechanism includes a second robotic arm and a pressurized attacher. The pressurized attacher is mounted on the second robotic arm. The second robotic arm has multi-dimensional movable and adjustable freedom, which can drive the pressurized attacher to move and adjust its position, thereby facilitating the attachment operation.
[0013] Furthermore, in view of the characteristics of the two-dimensional material film, in order to ensure that the film does not tear during the peeling and transfer process, in this solution, a pre-peeling method is adopted, first the periphery of the film is peeled off to release the initial adhesion of the film, and then the whole film is peeled off, thereby reducing the probability of tearing that may occur during peeling. The stripper includes an outer nozzle, a center nozzle and a nozzle shell, the outer nozzle is annular and is arranged at the bottom of the nozzle shell, the center nozzle is located on the inner side of the outer nozzle, and the outer nozzle and the center nozzle are provided with uniformly distributed adsorption holes, and the nozzle shell is provided with a first vacuum pump and a second vacuum pump, the first vacuum pump is connected to the outer nozzle through an air duct, and the second vacuum pump is connected to the center nozzle through an air duct;
[0014] In this solution, the film is peeled off through two steps of pre-peeling and full peeling. Therefore, when the outer nozzle adsorbs the outer periphery of the tape, there is a certain gap between the central nozzle and the center of the tape. In order to enable the two to be adsorbed, the central nozzle is set to be slidable, and an adsorption regulator is provided in the nozzle shell, and the adsorption regulator is connected to the central nozzle.

Therefore, in the pre-peeling stage of the film, the peripheral part must be peeled in advance, and in order to avoid peeling rupture, the peeling amplitude cannot be too large, and the center suction head needs to touch the unpeeled film. Therefore, the adsorption regulator can be fine-tuned to control the telescopic movement of the center suction head in a micro distance.
[0016] Furthermore, in order to improve the efficiency of peeling the film, after the outer periphery of the film is peeled off, an auxiliary air flow is blown into the angle between the opened film and the wafer base, so that when the center suction head peels off the remaining film, it can not only avoid damaging the film, but also assist the center suction head to peel off the remaining part completely; the suction head shell is provided with an expansion mechanism, the expansion mechanism includes an expansion arm, an expansion turntable and a fixed disc, the suction head shell is provided with a plurality of embedded slots, the expansion arm is a right-angle arm, and is slidably arranged in the embedded slot, the bottom of the expansion arm is provided with an extension cylinder, the bottom of the extension cylinder is provided with a nozzle, the nozzle is provided with an injection hole, the nozzle body is provided with a jet pump, and gas is ejected through the injection hole, when the expansion arm is controlled to expand and move in all directions, the expansion arm slides out of the embedded slot, and controls the nozzle to move to the position where the film is pre-peeled and opened by the extension cylinder, and sprays air to the opened angle, so as to assist the center suction head to peel off the film more efficiently;

[0018] Furthermore, in order to further improve the peeling effect, when the gas jet is sprayed on the pre-peeled film, the gas jet is controlled to rotate around the film, thereby more evenly improving the jetting and peeling effect; a rotating disk is rotatably provided on the suction head housing, and the expansion mechanism is located inside the rotating disk. By controlling the rotation of the rotating disk, the entire expansion mechanism and the gas jet can be driven to rotate;
[0019] A placement plate is provided in the suction head housing, a connecting column is provided on the placement plate, an opening is provided in the center of the rotating disk, the rotating disk is rotatably arranged on the connecting column, a first set of gear rings is provided on the rotating disk, the first set of gear rings is sleeved on the outside of the connecting column, a rotary spray gear meshingly connected to the first set of gear rings is provided on the placement plate, a rotary spray motor is provided on the placement plate, and the rotary spray motor is connected to the rotary spray gear;

[0025] On the other hand, in the process of attaching the tape and the film, in order to increase the adsorption force of the tape on the film, it is necessary to apply pressing force to the tape. In order to avoid damage to the film due to excessive pressure and rapid changes, a stage-type pressurized attachment mechanism is set up, which has a solid step-by-step pressurization effect.

The air adjustment pump is connected to the pressing wheel and adjusts and controls the air pressure of the pressing wheel. When the air pressure is low, the pressing wheel is softer, and the pressure when pressing the film is small. When the air pressure is high, the pressing wheel is harder, and the pressure pressing the film becomes larger. By gradually controlling the air pressure, a gradually pressurized compacting effect is achieved.

The operating top plate is fixedly arranged on the driving end of the lifting cylinder piston rod. The first control component and the second control component are both arranged on the operating top plate. The centering device is arranged on the first control component, and the absorber is arranged on the second control component. The first control component controls the position movement of the centering device. The centering device is used to detect and identify the center of the wafer substrate, and then it can be picked up from the center of the wafer during transportation, thereby ensuring the levelness and stability of the wafer to avoid damage and deformation. The absorber is used to absorb the wafer substrate to avoid deformation and damage of the wafer by clamping.
[0030] Furthermore, the first control component includes control arm 1, control arm 2 and control arm 3, the control arm 1 is rotatably mounted on the operating top plate, the control arm 2 is rotatably mounted on control arm 1, the control arm 3 is rotatably mounted on control arm 2, and the centering device is fixedly mounted on control arm 3; the second control component includes control arm 4, control arm 5 and control arm 6, the control arm 4 is rotatably mounted on the operating top plate, the control arm 5 is rotatably mounted on control arm 4, the control arm 6 is rotatably mounted on control arm 5, and the adsorber is fixedly mounted on control arm 6; the horizontal position of the centering device is higher than that of the adsorber.

The centering disk is arranged on the centering arm, and a plurality of slide grooves radiating from the center to the surrounding areas are provided on the centering disk. The sliding block is arranged in the slide groove, and the inductive sensor is arranged on the sliding block. By controlling the inductive sensor to detect the change of the edge of the substrate, the edge and position of the substrate are determined, and the center position of the substrate is obtained by center calculation.

The adsorption system is arranged inside the adsorption ring fork. The adsorption system includes a third vacuum pump, a microchannel and an adsorption head. The adsorption head is arranged on the top of the adsorption ring fork. The microchannel is arranged inside the adsorption ring fork and the adsorption arm, and is connected to the third vacuum pump. Suction is generated through the adsorption system to adsorb and move the substrate.
[0033] When transferring the substrate, the center position of the substrate is found by the centering device, and then the substrate is adsorbed from the center of the substrate by the adsorber, thereby keeping the substrate stable during the transfer process, thereby preventing the substrate from bending and deformation.
[0034] In another embodiment, different from the above, the adsorption system is replaced by a reverse system structure, and the reverse system structure includes a blowing pump, a blowing channel and a reverse suction head.

[0035] According to Bernoulli's principle, by blowing high-pressure gas out from the air outlet, a pressure area is generated between the inner side of the annular high-pressure groove, the low-pressure adsorption column and the substrate. The pressure difference between the low-pressure area and the surrounding environment generates an adsorption force, which reverses the substrate to the low-pressure adsorption column and creates a tiny gap between the reverse suction head and the substrate, forming a non-contact adsorption effect, further avoiding damage and deformation to the substrate.
[0036] Furthermore, in order to improve the uniformity of adsorption, a metal mesh is provided on the periphery of the anti-absorption head, thereby increasing the contact area of the anti-absorption head and improving the uniformity and stability of adsorption.
[0037] Furthermore, in order to avoid obstruction between the first control assembly and the second control assembly during operation, a hollow groove is provided on the control arm three, so that the control arm six and the adsorber can pass through freely.
[0038] Furthermore, multiple groups of adjusting screws are provided inside the centering device, and the adjusting screws and the sliding blocks correspond one to one, and the adjusting screws and the sliding blocks are threadedly connected.

[0040] Furthermore, a movable track is provided on one side of the bottom of the preparation table, and the substrate loading and transporting equipment is movably arranged on the movable track, so that the substrate loading and transporting equipment can move the substrate from the wafer substrate storage cavity to the growth reaction chamber.
[0041] Furthermore, a placement groove is provided in the wafer substrate storage chamber for placing the wafer substrate, and the height of the placement groove is greater than the distance between the centering device and the adsorber.
[0042] Preferably, the growth reaction chamber is made of high temperature resistant and corrosion resistant materials.
[0043] The present invention also discloses a method for preparing a wafer-level two-dimensional material film, comprising the following steps:
[0044] S1. Take out the base wafer and place it in the growth reaction chamber. During the process, ensure that the base wafer is clean, smooth, and flat to avoid bending or damage.
[0045] S2. After the reaction, the thin film is deposited on the base wafer. The base wafer is transferred to the thin film transfer table. During the process, the wafer is supported from the bottom of the base wafer to avoid touching the thin film.
[0046] S3. Pick up the peeling tape and stick it on the film. During the process, make sure the tape is flat and avoid wrinkles.
[0047] S4. Press the tape with a pressing wheel to attach the tape to the film. During this process, the film is rolled multiple times, and the pressure is gradually increased with each roll. The initial pressure of the pressing wheel is 0.1N, which is gradually increased by 0.3-0.5N. The final pressure is controlled at 1-1.5N.
[0048] When rolling, the film is rolled in a Z-shaped manner from one side to the other to ensure that the film is fully covered each time. That is, the film is rolled forward from the left side, then moved to the right for a certain distance, rolled backward, and then moved to the right for a certain distance and rolled forward until the film is fully covered.
[0049] Each time the pressing wheel is rolled in one direction, a 30%-50% repeat coverage rate is maintained. If the effective coverage width of the pressing wheel is 2 cm, when the pressing wheel enters from the left, rolls forward, moves 1 cm to the right, and then moves backward, the repeat coverage rate of this rolling process is 50%;
[0050] S5. When peeling the tape, first pre-peel the outer periphery of the tape, and then peel the tape as a whole;
[0051] The pre-peeling range is 1 / 10-3 / 10 of the tape radius; the pre-peeling points are evenly distributed and ≥8; the distance between adjacent points is ≤1 / 5 of the film side length; the peeling angle is 85-95°;
[0052] S6. After peeling, keep the tape flat and transfer it to the target substrate.
[0053] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: through mechanical structure innovation and intelligent control, this solution achieves high-yield, high-precision and high-efficiency preparation of two-dimensional material films, overcomes bottleneck problems such as film tearing, interface defects, and substrate damage in traditional technologies, and provides a reliable solution for wafer-level integration in the fields of flexible electronics, optoelectronic devices, etc.
[0054] Highly efficient reduction of film breakage rate: Through a phased peeling mechanism, a combination of pre-peeling (releasing adhesion on the periphery) and full peeling is adopted. Through a retractable and adjustable central suction head and airflow-assisted peeling technology, stress concentration is significantly reduced, thus minimizing the risk of film tearing.
[0055] Micro-distance precision control: The adsorption regulator achieves micron-level movement of the center suction head through a dual-pitch adjustment shaft to adapt to the needs of different peeling stages and avoid damage caused by sudden changes in local stress.
[0056] Improve the uniformity of interface bonding, step-by-step pressurization, and the inflatable pressing wheel through gradient air pressure control, combined with the Z-shaped rolling path, to ensure that the bonding pressure between the tape and the film is evenly distributed, so as to reduce the interface bubble rate.
[0057] All-round coverage and pressing: The covering drive mechanism drives the pressing wheel to realize XY-axis linkage movement, ensuring effective pressing of wafer-level films and avoiding interface defects caused by traditional single-point or local pressure.
[0058] Non-contact substrate protection: Bernoulli principle adsorption, reverse system structure through the annular high-pressure groove and the central low-pressure adsorption column, forming a suspended gap between the substrate and the adsorption head, achieving non-contact adsorption, completely eliminating the substrate deformation and damage caused by traditional clamping.
[0059] Center positioning technology: The centering device detects the edge of the substrate through a multi-inductance sensor and calculates the center position in combination with the OpenCV algorithm to improve the adsorption accuracy and ensure that the substrate is stable and without deviation during the transfer process.

[0089] The film peeling mechanism 2 includes a first mechanical arm 8 and a peeler 9. The peeler 9 is provided on the first mechanical arm 8. The first mechanical arm 8 has a multi-dimensional movable and adjustable degree of freedom, which can drive the peeler 9 to move and adjust its position, thereby facilitating the peeling operation.
[0090] The staged pressurized attachment mechanism 3 includes a second robotic arm 10 and a pressurized attacher 11. The pressurized attacher 11 is provided on the second robotic arm 10. The second robotic arm 10 has multi-dimensional movable and adjustable freedom, which can drive the pressurized attacher 11 to move and adjust its position, thereby facilitating the attachment operation.
[0091] Among them, in view of the characteristics of the two-dimensional material film, in order to ensure that the film does not tear during the peeling and transfer process, in this solution, a pre-peeling method is adopted. First, the periphery of the film is peeled off to release the initial adhesion of the film, and then the entire film is peeled off, thereby reducing the probability of tearing that may occur during peeling. The stripper 9 includes an outer sleeve suction head 12, a center suction head 13 and a suction head shell 14. The outer sleeve suction head 12 is annular and is arranged at the bottom of the suction head shell 14. The center suction head 13 is located on the inner side of the outer sleeve suction head 12. The outer sleeve suction head 12 and the center suction head 13 are both provided with uniformly distributed adsorption holes. A first vacuum pump 15 and a second vacuum pump 16 are provided in the suction head shell 14. The first vacuum pump 15 is connected to the outer sleeve suction head 12 through an air duct, and the second vacuum pump 16 is connected to the center suction head 13 through an air duct.
[0092] In this solution, the film is peeled off through two steps of pre-peeling and full peeling. Therefore, when the outer nozzle 12 first adsorbs the outer periphery of the tape, there is a certain gap between the center nozzle 13 and the center of the tape. In order to enable the two to be adsorbed, the center nozzle 13 is set to be slidable, and an adsorption regulator 17 is provided in the nozzle housing 14, and the adsorption regulator 17 is connected to the center nozzle 13.
[0093] The adsorption regulator 17 includes an adjusting shaft 18, a fixed sleeve 19 and an adjusting telescopic tube 20. The adjusting telescopic tube 20 is telescopically slidable on the fixed sleeve 19. The adjusting telescopic tube 20 and the fixed sleeve 19 are kept in linear sliding by slide bars and slide grooves. The adjusting telescopic tube 20 is connected to the center suction head 13. A connecting middle plate 21 is provided in the fixed sleeve 19. A first adjusting section 22 and a second adjusting section 23 are provided on the adjusting shaft 18. The first adjusting section 22 is threadedly connected to the connecting middle plate 21, and the second adjusting section 23 is threadedly connected to the adjusting telescopic tube 20. A connecting gear 24 is provided on the adjusting shaft 18. A driving gear column 25 is provided in the fixed sleeve 19. The driving gear column 25 is meshed with the connecting gear 24. There is a reduction motor assembly for controlling the driving gear column 25. The length of the driving gear column 25 is greater than the length of the first adjusting section 22 and the second adjusting section 23. The adjusting shaft 18 is driven to rotate by the driving gear column 25, and then the adjusting shaft 18 moves relative to the fixed sleeve 19. At the same time, the telescopic tube 20 is adjusted to move relative to the adjusting shaft 18. The first adjusting section 22 and the second adjusting section 23 have different pitches, and the pitch of the first adjusting section 22 is greater than the pitch of the second adjusting section 23. Therefore, in the pre-peeling stage of the film, the peripheral part must be peeled in advance, and in order to avoid peeling rupture, the peeling amplitude cannot be too large, and the center suction head 13 needs to touch the unpeeled film. Therefore, the adsorption regulator 17 can be fine-tuned to control the micro-distance telescopic movement of the center suction head 13.
[0094] In order to improve the efficiency of peeling the film, after the periphery of the film is peeled off, the air flow is blown into the angle between the opened film and the wafer base, so that when the center suction head peels off the remaining film, it can not only not damage the film, but also assist the center suction head to peel off all the remaining parts; the suction head shell 14 is provided with an expansion mechanism 71, the expansion mechanism 71 includes an expansion arm 73, an expansion turntable 74 and a fixed disc 75, and the suction head shell 14 is provided with a plurality of embedded grooves 76, the expansion arm 73 is a right-angle arm, and is slidably arranged on the embedded groove 76.

[0104] On the other hand, during the process of attaching the tape and the film, in order to increase the adsorption force of the tape on the film, it is necessary to apply pressing force to the tape. In order to avoid damage to the film due to excessive pressure or rapid changes, a stage-type pressurized attachment mechanism 3 is set, with a solid step-by-step pressurization effect. The pressurized attacher 11 includes a pressing wheel 28, an air adjustment pump 29 and a wheel frame 30. The pressing wheel 28 is rotatably arranged on the wheel frame 30.

When the air pressure is low, the pressing wheel 28 is softer, and the pressure when pressing the film is small. When the air pressure is high, the pressing wheel 28 is harder, and the pressure pressing the film becomes larger.

[0131] The growth reaction chamber 6 is made of high temperature resistant and corrosion resistant materials.
[0132] The present invention also discloses a method for preparing a wafer-level two-dimensional material film, comprising the following steps:
[0133] Taking 8-inch wafer substrate as an example,
[0134] S1. Take out the base wafer and place it into the growth reaction chamber 6. During the process, ensure that the base wafer is clean, smooth, and flat to avoid bending or damage.
[0135] S2. After the reaction, the thin film is deposited on the base wafer. The base wafer is transferred to the thin film transfer stage 7. During the process, the wafer is supported from the bottom of the base wafer to avoid touching the thin film.
[0136] S3. Pick up the peeling tape and stick it on the film. During the process, make sure the tape is flat and avoid wrinkles.
[0137] S4. The tape is pressed by the pressing wheel 28 to adhere the tape to the film. During this process, the film is rolled multiple times, and the pressure is gradually increased with each roll. The initial pressure of the pressing wheel 28 is 0.1N, which is gradually increased by 0.3-0.5N. The final pressure is controlled at 1-1.5N.
[0138] When rolling, the film is rolled in a Z-shaped manner from one side to the other to ensure that the film is fully covered each time. That is, the film is rolled forward from the left side, then moved to the right for a certain distance, rolled backward, and then moved to the right for a certain distance and rolled forward until the film is fully covered.
[0139] Each unidirectional rolling maintains a 30%-50% repeat coverage rate. If the effective coverage width of the pressing wheel 28 is 2 cm, when the pressing wheel 28 enters from the left, rolls forward, moves 1 cm to the right, and then moves backward, the forward and backward rolling has a 50% repeat coverage rate.
[0140] S5. When peeling the tape, first pre-peel the outer periphery of the tape, and then peel the tape as a whole;
[0141] The pre-peeling range is 1 / 10-3 / 10 of the tape radius; the pre-peeling points are evenly distributed and ≥8; the distance between adjacent points is ≤ 1 / 5 of the film side length; the peeling angle is 85-95°; the pre-peeling lifting height is 1-1.5mm;
[0142] S6. After peeling, keep the tape flat and transfer it to the target substrate.
[0143] During the use of the device, the first control component 41 is used to drive the centering device 44 to move above the wafer. During the process, the operating top plate 40 can be rotated, and the control arm 1 45 rotates on the operating top plate 40, the control arm 2 46 rotates on the control arm 1 45, and the control arm 3 47 rotates on the control arm 2 46; the control sliding block 53 is used to drive the inductive sensor 54 to move, and the inductive sensor 54 detects the changes in the edge of the substrate. The edge and contour of the substrate are detected and identified by multiple inductive sensors 54, and then the center of the substrate is calculated by the calculation software. The adsorber 43 is driven by the second control component 42 to move to the center position of the substrate, and the substrate is moved by the adsorption force, or according to the Bernoulli principle, a reverse adsorption force is generated to generate a tiny gap between the anti-adsorption head 63 and the substrate to achieve non-contact adsorption, thereby avoiding deformation and damage to the substrate. Then the substrate loading and transportation equipment 1 carries the substrate to the growth reaction chamber 6 for growth.
[0144] After the film is deposited on the wafer substrate, it is transferred to the preparation table 4 by the substrate loading and transporting device 1, and the wafer substrate is fixed by the vacuum adsorption mechanism. First, the film stripping mechanism 2 picks up the tape and covers the tape on the film. Then, the film is pressed by the staged pressurization attachment mechanism 3. The covering drive mechanism drives the pressing wheel 28 to move in all directions. When rolling, it rolls from one side of the film to the other side in a Z-shaped rolling motion to ensure that the film is fully covered each time. The air pressure of the pressing wheel 28 is gradually controlled by air pressure, and then the hardness of the pressing wheel 28 is controlled, and then the pressure of the pressing wheel 28 is controlled, thereby achieving a gradually increased pressing effect.
[0145] During peeling, the periphery of the film is pre-peeled first, and the rest of the film is adsorbed by the control center suction head 13, and then the entire film is peeled. The adjustment device 17 is set by the micro-lifter 27 to adsorb the film. During pre-peeling and movement of the center suction head 13, fine-tuning can be performed. The adjustment shaft 18 is driven to rotate by the driving gear column 25, and then the adjustment shaft 18 moves relative to the fixed sleeve 19. At the same time, the telescopic tube 20 is adjusted to move relative to the adjustment shaft 18. The differential fine-tuning effect is achieved through the pitch difference between the first adjustment section 22 and the second adjustment section 23.
[0146] When the center suction head 13 is peeling, the expansion arm 73 is extended to the periphery through the expansion mechanism, and the spray gas 78 is pushed downward to the place where the film is lifted up by the extension cylinder 77, and then the center suction head 13 is assisted by the jet of air to improve the peeling effect. At the same time, by controlling the rotation of the rotating disk 100, the spray gas is driven to rotate, and the rotary spraying effect is achieved, which further improves the peeling effect. Then, by controlling the floating block to move up and down, the up and down floating effect is achieved during the rotary spraying, giving the film a force to move up and down, further improving the peeling effect.
[0147] After peeling off the film, it is transferred to the target wafer.
