DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] In addition, when an element in the present invention is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 10 In an embodiment of the present invention, a wafer-level vacuum bonding device includes a cover member 3 and a supporting member 21 that are adapted to each other, wherein the cover member 3 is provided with an annular cover portion 301, and the supporting member 21 is provided with an annular protrusion 2101, and the outer diameter of the annular protrusion 2101 is the same as the inner diameter of the annular cover portion 301, so that when the two are matched, a sealed chamber can be formed inside the cover member 3 and the supporting member 21, and at the same time, the annular cover portion 301 can move relative to the annular protrusion 2101, so that the intermediate pressure member 10 can still move relative to the wafer inside the supporting member 21 when a sealed chamber is formed inside the cover member 3 and the supporting member 21, thereby ensuring that the intermediate pressure member 10 can act on the wafer and expel bubbles in the middle of the wafer by squeezing.

[0030] It also includes: a frame structure 1, an intermediate pressure member 10, a deflection plate group, an elastic structure and a driving component, wherein the covering member 3 is connected to the first hydraulic cylinder 2 arranged on the frame structure 1.

[0031] The intermediate pressure member 10 is fixedly mounted on a side of the cover member 3 facing the supporting member 21; The deflection plate group is provided in multiple groups along the circumference of the intermediate pressure member 10 at equal intervals, and the deflection plate group is provided with a second abutment wheel 19 and a third abutment wheel 20; The deflection plate assembly includes a first pressure plate 11 rotatably mounted on the intermediate pressure member 10 and a second pressure plate 12 disposed within the cover member 3 , the second abutment wheel 19 being rotatably connected to the first pressure plate 11 , and the third abutment wheel 20 being rotatably connected to the second pressure plate 12 ; An arc-shaped protrusion is provided on one end of the intermediate pressure member 10 facing the first pressure plate 11 and one end of the first pressure plate 11 facing the second pressure plate 12 , and the first pressure plate 11 and the second pressure plate 12 are adapted to the arc-shaped protrusion.

[0032] In this embodiment, in the initial state, the wafer to be bonded is placed inside the supporting member 21, and then the first hydraulic cylinder 2 is controlled to move. At this time, the covering member 3 can move toward the supporting member 21, and when the annular covering portion 301 cooperates with the annular protrusion 2101 and the intermediate pressure member 10 acts on the wafer, the driving component can cooperate with the second abutting wheel 19 to deflect the first pressure plate 11 relative to the intermediate pressure member 10 to abut against the wafer. In this process, the bubbles squeezed out by the intermediate pressure member 10 can be acted upon by the first pressure plate 11, so that the bubbles continue to move along the wafer. The first pressure plate 11 moves in the radial direction toward the edge, and when the first pressure plate 11 is deflected to abut against the wafer, the driving component will drive the second pressure plate 12 to move, so that the end of the second pressure plate 12 connected to the elastic structure moves toward the wafer and abuts the wafer. Subsequently, the driving component can cooperate with the third abutting wheel 20 to drive the second pressure plate 12 to deflect to abut against the wafer, so that the bubbles squeezed out by the first pressure plate 11 continue to move in the radial direction of the wafer, so that the bubbles can be squeezed out from between the wafers, eliminating the influence of the bubbles on the quality of the wafer after bonding.

[0033] It should be noted that, in the initial state, there is a predetermined angle θ between the first pressure plate 11 and the intermediate pressure member 10, and the first pressure plate 11 is tilted upward compared to the intermediate pressure member 10, and there is also a predetermined angle θ between the second pressure plate 12 and the first pressure plate 11, and the second pressure plate 12 is tilted upward compared to the first pressure plate 11. This arrangement enables the intermediate pressure member 10 to act preferentially on the wafer when the cover 3 moves toward the supporting member 21 to squeeze out the bubbles in the middle of the wafer, and then during the deflection of the first pressure plate 11, the wafer can be subjected to the directional force of the first pressure plate 11 along the radial direction of the wafer, so that the bubbles can gradually move toward the edge of the wafer during the deflection of the first pressure plate 11, and when the first pressure plate 11 is completely in contact with the wafer, the second pressure plate 12 still maintains an angle θ with the wafer diameter, so that when the second pressure plate 12 moves to abut against the wafer and deflects, it can continue to drive out the bubbles squeezed out by the first pressure plate 11, thereby ensuring that the bubbles can be discharged from the edge of the wafer.

[0034] It should be noted that since an arc-shaped protrusion is provided on one end of the intermediate pressure member 10 facing the first pressure plate 11 and one end of the first pressure plate 11 facing the second pressure plate 12, the first pressure plate 11 and the second pressure plate 12 are adapted to the arc-shaped protrusion, so that when the intermediate pressure member 10, the first pressure plate 11 and the second pressure plate 12 are in contact with the wafer, there will be no gap between the two adjacent ones, and no bubbles will remain due to the existence of the gap.

[0035] Based on the above settings, the intermediate pressure member 10, the first pressure plate 11, and the second pressure plate 12 can act on the wafer in sequence, and have the effect of directional discharge of bubbles, so that the bubbles in the wafer can move toward the edge of the wafer and be discharged, thereby preventing the presence of bubbles from affecting the product quality of the wafer after bonding.

[0036] See also Figure 8 The elastic structure connects the deflection plate group, the intermediate pressure member 10 and the covering member 3, and the elastic structure is connected to the first abutting wheel 17; The elastic structure includes a first cylindrical spring 13, a second cylindrical spring 14 and a pulling kit fixedly mounted on the intermediate pressure member 10, wherein the end of the first cylindrical spring 13 away from the intermediate pressure member 10 is fixedly connected to the first pressure plate 11, the pulling kit is rotatably connected to the second pressure plate 12, and the end of the second cylindrical spring 14 away from the pulling kit is fixedly connected to the second pressure plate 12, wherein the pulling kit includes a connecting plate 15 fixedly mounted on the covering member 3, a lifting member 16 is slidably mounted on the connecting plate 15, the lifting member 16 is rotatably connected to the second pressure plate 12, and the lifting member 16 and the connecting plate 15 are connected via a third cylindrical spring 18; The first abutment wheel 17 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 16 .

[0037] In the initial state, the first cylindrical spring 13, the second cylindrical spring 14 and the third cylindrical spring 18 are all in a stretched state, wherein the first cylindrical spring 13 and the second cylindrical spring 14 can maintain a predetermined angle θ between the first pressure plate 11 and the intermediate pressure member 10, and between the second pressure plate 12 and the first pressure plate 11, thereby ensuring the position stability of the first pressure plate 11 and the second pressure plate 12 in the initial state.

[0038] Specifically, a stop position is formed at the position where the first pressure plate 11 is rotatably connected to the intermediate pressure piece 10. The stop position can ensure that the first pressure plate 11 can stop rotating when it deflects upward to a predetermined angle θ relative to the intermediate pressure piece 10. At this time, the first cylindrical spring 13, which is in a stretched state in the initial state, can stabilize the position of the first pressure plate 11. The same applies to the second pressure plate 12.

[0039] See also Figure 5~Figure 6 、 Figure 8 The cover 3 is provided with a sealing cover 4, and the driving assembly is provided on the cover 3. The driving assembly can drive a follower 9 provided on the cover 3 to move along the radial direction of the cover 3. The driving assembly includes a second hydraulic cylinder 5 fixedly mounted on the cover 3 and located in the sealing cover 4. A connecting member 6 is fixedly mounted on the second hydraulic cylinder 5, and a hinged rod 7 is rotatably mounted on the connecting member 6; The driving assembly also includes a plurality of first sliding grooves 302 equidistantly arranged on the covering member 3 in a circumferential manner, wherein a slider 8 is slidably installed in the first sliding groove 302 , and the end of the hinged rod 7 away from the connecting member 6 is rotatably connected to the slider 8 , and the slider 8 is connected to the follower 9 .

[0040] When the middle pressure member 10 abuts against the wafer, the second hydraulic cylinder 5 will be activated, and its telescopic shaft can be retracted, thereby driving the connecting member 6 to move downward. At this time, the connecting member 6 drives the slider 8 to move along the length direction of the first slide groove 302 through the hinged rod 7, so that the follower 9 can cooperate with the second abutment wheel 19, the first abutment wheel 17 and the third abutment wheel 20 to realize the deflection of the first pressure plate 11 and the descent and deflection of the second pressure plate 12, thereby realizing the discharge of bubbles inside the wafer.

[0041] Furthermore, when the connecting member 6 moves, it can drive multiple groups of followers 9 to move synchronously through the hinged rod 7, and make the first pressure plate 11 and the second pressure plate 12 arranged in a circle move synchronously, so that the bubbles inside the wafer can diverge from the middle of the wafer in a circular shape toward the outside. Compared with the method of eliminating bubbles by rolling, on the one hand, it can ensure the integrity of the action surface, and on the other hand, it can avoid the bubbles being squeezed and the movement path being too long, resulting in incomplete extrusion.

[0042] The follower 9 can cooperate with the second abutment wheel 19, the first abutment wheel 17 and the third abutment wheel 20 in sequence, so that the deflection plate assembly can gradually act on the wafer along the radial direction of the cover 3; An inclined surface 901 and a straight surface 902 are formed on the follower 9 . The inclined surface 901 can guide the first abutting wheel 17 , the second abutting wheel 19 and the third abutting wheel 20 to move toward the straight surface 902 .

[0043] When the slider 8 moves along the length direction of the first slide groove 302, the follower 9 moves synchronously. During this process, the inclined surface 901 on the follower 9 can cooperate with the second abutment wheel 19, the first abutment wheel 17 and the third abutment wheel 20 in sequence, thereby driving the first pressure plate 11 and the second pressure plate 12 to move. Specifically: When the inclined surface 901 cooperates with the second abutment wheel 19, the inclined surface 901 can act on the second abutment wheel 19 to deflect the second abutment wheel 19 and the first pressure plate 11 relative to the intermediate pressure member 10. When the second abutment wheel 19 moves to the flat surface 902, the first pressure plate 11 and the wafer are in a completely fitted state. Then the follower 9 continues to move, so that the second abutment wheel 19 keeps rolling and abutting with the flat surface 902 while the first abutment wheel 17 can cooperate with the inclined surface 901. During this process, the first abutment wheel 17 can drive the second pressure plate 12 toward the wafer through the lifting member 16. When the first abutment wheel 17 moves to the flat surface 902, one end of the second pressure plate 12 abuts against the wafer. At this time, the end of the second pressure plate 12 is in contact with the end of the first pressure plate 11. The arc-shaped protrusion cooperates to lock the first pressure plate 11 in this state, so that when the follower 9 continues to move and separates from the second abutment wheel 19, the first pressure plate 11 can still maintain the abutment state with the wafer. Thereafter, the inclined surface 901 cooperates with the third abutment wheel 20 to realize the deflection of the second pressure plate 12. Based on the above arrangement, firstly, during the movement of the follower 9, the first pressure plate 11 and the second pressure plate 12 can move in sequence, thereby realizing the directional discharge of bubbles in the wafer. Secondly, when the second pressure plate 12 moves, the first pressure plate 11 can be locked in the abutment state with the wafer, thereby preventing the bubbles from moving toward the direction of the first pressure plate 11 when the second pressure plate 12 acts on the wafer, thereby ensuring the stability of the directional movement of the bubbles and ensuring the stable discharge of the bubbles.

[0044] See also Figure 3 、 Figures 9 and 10 The wafer-level vacuum bonding device also includes: a positioning component and a negative pressure component.

[0045] The positioning assembly is disposed on the supporting member 21 and is provided with a plurality of cams 2201. The positioning assembly is capable of driving the plurality of cams 2201 to move in the radial direction of the supporting member 21. The positioning assembly includes a plurality of second slide grooves 2102 disposed in the radial direction of the supporting member 21. The coaxial wheel groups 22 are slidably mounted in the second slide grooves 2102. The positioning assembly also includes a rotating member 24 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the supporting member 21, an electric telescopic rod 23 is rotatably mounted on the supporting member 21, the other end of the electric telescopic rod 23 is rotatably connected to the rotating member 24, and an inclined groove 2401 is provided on the rotating member 24, and the coaxial wheel group 22 can roll in the inclined groove 2401.

[0046] When the wafers to be bonded are placed on the supporting member 21, the electric telescopic rod 23 is controlled to move, which can drive the rotating member 24 to rotate. During this process, with the cooperation of the inclined groove 2401 and the second slide groove 2102, the coaxial wheel group 22 can drive the convex shaft 2201 to move along the length direction of the second slide groove 2102, thereby realizing the positioning of the wafers and ensuring the coaxiality between the two groups of wafers to be bonded. After the positioning is completed, the coaxial wheel group 22 can move in the opposite direction to reset the convex shaft 2201, so as to avoid interference between the convex shaft 2201 and the first pressure plate 11 and the second pressure plate 12 when squeezing out the bubbles inside the wafers.

[0047] See also Figures 2 to 4 The negative pressure component is connected to the sealing cover 4 and is used to generate negative pressure inside the covering member 3 and the supporting member 21 when they are covered. The negative pressure component includes a conductive member 25 connected to the sealing cover 4, and the end of the conductive member 25 away from the sealing cover 4 is connected to a negative pressure generating device 26.

[0048] After the middle pressure member 10, the first pressure plate 11 and the second pressure plate 12 complete the bubble extrusion operation, the negative pressure generating device 26 vacuums the inside of the cover member 3 and the supporting member 21. After vacuuming, the wafer surface can fit better during the bonding process, so that physical forces such as van der Waals force and electrostatic force and chemical bonding force can fully play their role, thereby enhancing the bonding strength.

[0049] As an embodiment of the present invention, a method for performing bonding using the wafer-level vacuum bonding apparatus as described above is also proposed, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Place the wafers to be bonded in the support 21 and start the positioning assembly so that the two groups of wafers to be bonded can completely overlap; Step 2: The covering member 3 moves toward the supporting member 21 until the two are covered and the middle pressure member 10 acts on the wafer and stops moving; Step 3: The driving assembly is activated and acts on the second abutting wheel 19, the first abutting wheel 17 and the third abutting wheel 20 in sequence, so that the deflection plate assembly acts on the wafer gradually along the radial direction of the cover 3; Step 4: Use a negative pressure assembly to generate negative pressure inside the cover 3 and the support 21, and use the negative pressure to bond the wafers.
