Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coating equipment, in particular to a ceramic substrate coating equipment for semiconductor production. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the electronics, semiconductor, and optical industries, functional coating processes for various components are becoming increasingly important. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology, with its advantages of high film uniformity, excellent adhesion, and zero pollution, has been widely used in the manufacturing of ceramic substrates, metal substrates, and semiconductor chips. Demand continues to grow in the fields of electronic components, optical devices, decorative films, and functional coatings, creating a broad market outlook and driving the development of coating equipment towards high automation, high precision, and multi-functionality.
[0003] Existing coating equipment generally includes a conveying device, cleaning and pretreatment equipment, and a basic coating unit. The workpiece is transferred and simply clamped through a mechanical conveyor line, and roller conveyor belts or chains are conventionally used to transport the workpiece; cleaning equipment generally uses simple blowing or liquid flushing methods for surface treatment, and the coating device often uses a magnetron sputtering structure with a fixed single target material. The sputtering environment is established by a vacuum pump and the filling of working gas, and the target material atoms are sputtered onto the substrate by impacting the target material with argon ions.
[0004] Current coating equipment relies heavily on manual intervention or simple mechanical positioning during transportation and unloading, which can easily lead to workpiece position errors and low production efficiency; target position adjustment is mostly a fixed structure, which can easily cause uneven local ablation of the target, resulting in uneven film thickness distribution; traditional coating equipment usually uses a single target for sputtering, lacks the function of dynamic and rapid switching of targets, and is not convenient for the deposition of multi-layer films or multiple materials; in addition, the existing equipment has limited control accuracy of sputtering current, making it difficult to achieve high-precision control of thickness and quality during film deposition, and difficult to meet the current high-end manufacturing industry's stringent requirements for coating quality and stability. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a ceramic substrate coating equipment for semiconductor production to solve the problems raised in the above background. Summary of the Invention

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating motor in the clamping mechanism is connected to the clamping frame through a precise transmission structure. When the rotating motor is started, it can accurately drive the clamping frame to rotate, so that the clamping claw fixed on the clamping frame also rotates, so as to achieve stable clamping, positioning and direction adjustment of the workpiece; the fastening connection design between the clamping claw and the clamping frame ensures that the clamping claw has sufficient rigidity and stability during the clamping process, and can provide a stable and uniform clamping force to ensure that the workpiece will not loosen due to vibration or external force.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Driven by the reset spring, the reset rack in the position-limited blanking assembly slides along the limit box, precisely engaging the ratchet wheel and ratchet auxiliary wheel, which in turn opens and closes the toothed blocks, ensuring accurate opening and closing of the first position-limiting block.
