[0044] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, a semiconductor double-side polishing device is provided as follows:

[0045] Combine Figures 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides a semiconductor double-side polishing device, comprising a transfer channel 3;

The side of the restraining assembly 14 is connected to the cutting fluid recovery box 16, and the outlet end of the cutting fluid recovery box 16 is connected to the liquid spray pipe 15;

[0047] The rinsing assembly 2 is slidably mounted inside the main housing 11 and is used to remove residual liquid from the upper surface of the wafer for subsequent lamination;

[0048] Wafer ring 9a, which holds wafer 9b in place. A barrier film 81 is applied to one side of the ring. The barrier film 81 is larger than the area of ​​the ring. Four plates 91a are arranged in a circular array on the outer wall of the ring.

[0049] The conveying tracks 31 are symmetrically arranged inside the transfer channel 3. The processing area is located between the two sets of conveying tracks 31. The processing area is divided into the loading position, the first processing position, the second processing position, the third processing position and the unloading position in the conveying direction. The outer wall of the conveying track 31 is provided with multiple groups of clamping components 4, which cooperate with the insert plate of the wafer ring;

[0050] The material transfer assembly 5 is installed at the internal loading position of the transfer channel 3. The material transfer assembly 5 is used to transfer the wafers in one group of grinding assemblies 1 to the conveying track 31, and then transfer the wafers to another group of grinding assemblies 1;

[0051] A thickness detection assembly 6 is installed at the first processing position of the processing area. The thickness detection assembly 6 is used to detect the thickness of the wafer and output unqualified wafers;

[0052] The film covering assembly 7 is installed at the second processing position of the processing area, and the film covering assembly 7 is used to cover the blocking film 81 on the upper surface of the wafer ring;

[0053] The film tearing assembly 9 is installed at the third processing position of the processing area. The film tearing assembly 9 is used to tear off the used blocking film 81 on the wafer ring.

[0054] In the above scheme:

[0055] 1. The outer wall of the wafer ring is equipped with four sets of inserts, which can facilitate the turnover and positioning of the wafer ring at each station;

[0056] 2. During the grinding process, the cutting fluid can be sealed by the constraint component, and then the cutting fluid and cutting impurities can be extracted to the cutting fluid recovery box in real time, realizing the rapid recovery of the cutting fluid and making the working site cleaner;

[0057] 3. After the upper surface is ground, a flushing component can be set up to spray water to clean the cutting fluid, which is convenient for subsequent turnover. At the same time, the cleaning process is a closed operation, which can prevent the cutting fluid cleaning agent from entering the constraint component and avoid contaminating the repeatedly used cutting fluid;

[0058] 4. In order to improve the efficiency of double-sided grinding, a transfer channel is designed to be located between the two groups of grinding components. After the wafer is ground and thickened in one group of grinding components, the material moving component can automatically grab the wafer and put it into the conveying track, thus realizing automatic unloading of the wafer; the film covering component can be used to make a blocking film and cover the top of the wafer ring. After the film covering is completed, the wafer ring can rotate so that the newly covered blocking film is placed under the wafer to stop the wafer, and the old blocking film is placed on top; the subsequent film tearing component can directly tear off the old film on the top, thus completing the automatic flipping and film changing. Finally, the material moving component transfers the wafer to the next group of grinding components.

[0059] In this embodiment, the flushing assembly 2 includes a cutting fluid cleaning agent storage box 24, a sealing cover 23, a second driving rod 22, and a vertical guide rail 21. The vertical guide rail 21 is provided on the inner side of the main box body 11, and the inner end of the second driving rod 22 slides vertically and is embedded in the vertical guide rail 21. The second driving rod 22 is arranged horizontally, and the output end of the second driving rod 22 is connected to the horizontally arranged sealing cover 23. The opening of the sealing cover 23 faces downward, and a liquid spray head 231 is provided on the inner side of the sealing cover 23. The inner top of the sealing cover 23 is symmetrically slidably provided with a jet plate 232. The cutting fluid cleaning agent storage box 24 is provided on the outer wall of the main box body 11, and the cutting fluid cleaning agent storage box 24 is connected to the sealing cover 23 through a conduit; when flushing the wafer, the sealing cover 23 is sealed and docked on the wafer ring to form an airtight cleaning chamber; the liquid spray head 231 is tilted downward to discharge the cutting fluid cleaning agent to flush the wafer, and the cutting fluid cleaning agent in the sealing cover 23 is intermittently extracted; the two groups of jet plates 232 move horizontally in opposite directions to air-dry the wafer.

[0060] In the above scheme: during seal cleaning, the second driving rod drives the sealing cover to move above the wafer ring, and then the second driving rod descends along the vertical guide rail so that the sealing cover is sealed and fits above the wafer ring; then the side liquid spray head works first, and the cutting fluid cleaning agent is sprayed onto the wafer to clean the cutting fluid. Various liquids gather in the sealing cover and will not splash out. Then the pump body extracts the mixed liquid in the sealing cover. After the extraction is completed, the two sets of jet plates slide outward synchronously, which can exhaust air downward to dry the wafer. The airflow is evenly distributed and the drying effect is good.

[0061] In this embodiment, the constraint assembly 14 includes a constraint frame 141 and a first driving rod 142. The constraint frame 141 is annular and is arranged on the surface of the lower seat body 13. The constraint frame 141 is spaced apart on the outside of the support plate 131. A liquid guide cavity is left between the constraint frame 141 and the support plate 131. The outer wall of the constraint frame 141 is symmetrically installed with the first driving rod 142. The inner end of the first driving rod 142 is provided with a first rectangular insert 143, and the first rectangular insert 143 is inserted into the insert plate; the side of the constraint frame 141 is connected to the cutting fluid recovery tank 16 through a liquid pump.

[0062] In the above scheme: after the wafer ring is placed on the support plate, the first driving rod drives the first rectangular insert to move inward, and the first rectangular insert is inserted into the insert plate. In this way, the wafer ring can be clamped and positioned, effectively ensuring the stability of the wafer ring and wafer during the grinding process; the constraint frame can also enclose the cutting fluid to prevent the cutting fluid from flowing into the equipment, reduce the contaminated area, and facilitate cleaning.

[0063] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the support plate 131 is rotatably sleeved with a cleaning ring 17, the outer wall of the cleaning ring 17 is connected to a cleaning plate 171, the cleaning ring is arranged at the bottom of the first rectangular insert, and a first motor 172 for driving the cleaning ring 17 to rotate is installed inside the support plate 131, and the cleaning plate 171 is used to push the liquid and impurities in the liquid guide cavity to the inlet of the liquid pump.

[0064] Tracking of the above solution: When the liquid pump extracts the cutting fluid, impurities will accumulate in the liquid guide cavity and cannot be completely cleaned. In order to thoroughly clean the impurities, the first motor can drive the cleaning ring to rotate, and then drive the cleaning plate to rotate in the liquid guide cavity, which can push the impurities and liquid to the outlet of the constraint frame and can be immediately extracted by the liquid pump to achieve sufficient cleaning.

[0065] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 4 includes a base 41, a third driving rod 42, and a second motor 43. The base 41 is symmetrically arranged on two groups of conveying rails 31.

The output end of the third driving rod 42 is connected to the second rectangular insert 44, and the second rectangular insert 44 is plugged into the insert plate; the second motor 43 is used to drive the third driving rod 42 to rotate to change the orientation of the wafer.

[0066] In the above scheme: after the wafer ring is placed on the conveying track, a clamping assembly is provided to ensure stable conveying of the wafer ring and perform coordinated actions; the third driving rod can drive the second rectangular insert to be inserted into the other two sets of insert plates to achieve clamping and material picking. When it is necessary to turn over and tear the film, the second motor drives the third driving rod to rotate.

[0067] In this embodiment, the material moving assembly 5 includes a first transverse guide rail 51, which is arranged on the inner top surface of the transfer channel 3. A hanging plate 52 is vertically slidably installed on the bottom surface of the first transverse guide rail 51, and a second transverse guide rail 53 is slidably provided on the bottom end of the hanging plate 52. A rack 531 is provided on the surface of the second transverse guide rail 53, and a third motor 54 for driving the second transverse guide rail 53 to move horizontally is provided on the bottom end side wall of the hanging plate 52.

A fifth drive rod 57 is symmetrically slidably installed on the bottom of the double-headed screw seat 56. The bottom end of the fifth drive rod 57 is provided with a third rectangular insert 58, and the third rectangular insert 58 is plugged into the insert plate.

[0068] In the above scheme: the material moving assembly is designed as a three-stage translation structure to meet the needs of loading and unloading of two groups of grinding assemblies. The hanging plate moves along the first horizontal guide rail, the third motor can drive the second horizontal guide rail for secondary horizontal movement, the fourth motor can perform tertiary horizontal movement along the second horizontal guide rail, the fourth motor can drive the double-headed screw seat to rotate, so as to switch the third rectangular insert to dock with any two groups of insert plates, the fifth drive rod can drive the third rectangular insert to descend, and then the fifth drive rod moves synchronously along the double-headed screw seat to realize wafer ring docking.

[0069] In this embodiment, the thickness detection assembly 6 includes a top frame 61, a bottom frame 63, a thickness measuring probe 62 and a reference plate 64.

The bottom frame 63 is arranged at the bottom of the conveying track 31, and the surface of the bottom frame 63 is provided with multiple groups of reference plates 64, and each group of reference plates 64 corresponds to a group of thickness measuring probes 62.

[0070] In the above scheme: the ground wafer is transported to the bottom of the thickness gauge probe by the clamping assembly. During the process, multiple sets of thickness gauge probes can perform linear fitting detection on the surface of the wafer, realizing multi-point comprehensive detection, so as to quickly determine whether the thickness of the wafer is qualified. There is no need for separate detection. The reference plate can be used as the basis for adjusting the side head probe.

[0071] In this embodiment, the two ends of the base frame 63 are rotatably connected to the vertical plates 65 and a fifth motor 66 is installed at the rotating connection.

The inner wall of the waste box 67 is symmetrically provided with vertical slide rails 68. The bottom end of the vertical plate 65 is slidably embedded in the vertical slide rail 68.

[0072] In the above scheme: when the thickness of a wafer is detected to be unqualified, the adsorption hole can adsorb and position the wafer from the bottom, and then the clamping assembly is unlocked, the vertical plate moves downward along the vertical slide rail, and the fifth motor drives the wafer to rotate so that the reference plate is located above. Subsequently, the vertical plate continues to descend, causing the wafer to fall into the waste box. After placement, the adsorption hole no longer adsorbs.

[0074] In the above scheme: during lamination, the film-releasing wheel releases the protective tape, the release paper is rolled up on the recovery wheel, and the new protective tape is placed above the wafer ring. The sixth driving rod drives the film-releasing wheel and the film-recovering wheel to descend, and the eighth driving rod drives the contact ring frame to move upward. The contact ring frame is placed on the outside of the wafer ring, and the adhesive layer of the protective tape is bonded to the wafer ring.
