Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electroplating, and in particular to a linear motor adjusting system, an electroplating device, and a mounting method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of semiconductors, an electroplating process refers to a process of depositing a metal film on a substrate. In advanced packaging technology, an electroplating process is usually used to form copper pillars, solder joints, and other different structures on a substrate to realize interconnection of chips on the substrate.

[0003] An electroplating device is a semiconductor device for implementing an electroplating process. The electroplating device includes an electroplating cavity and a clamp, and further includes a robot capable of placing or taking out a substrate from the clamp. After the robot takes out the substrate from an EFEM (Equipment Front End Module) or a cleaning structure, the robot places the substrate in the clamp. After the clamp fixes the substrate, the substrate is immersed in an electroplating solution in the electroplating cavity to perform an electroplating process. After the electroplating process is completed, the robot takes out the substrate in the clamp.

[0004] The length of the electroplating device is usually about 3-5 meters. It can be understood that the sizes of electroplating devices of different manufacturers are different, and the length will naturally vary, but the length of a general electroplating device will not be less than 3 meters. The electroplating cavity and the clamp are distributed on a length of about 3-5 meters, and the wafer can be placed in the clamp by moving the robot to perform the above-mentioned electroplating process.

[0005] When the robot moves on a length of 3-5 meters, it must be ensured that the robot moves stably. Tilting and undulating movement or other unstable operation of the robot will affect the motion performance and wafer transfer accuracy of the robot, resulting in that the electroplating uniformity cannot meet the index requirements, thereby affecting the efficiency and process level of electroplating.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this application embodiment provides a linear motor adjustment system 500 applied to an electroplating equipment 400. The electroplating equipment 400 includes multiple modular portions 401 that can be assembled to form the electroplating equipment 400, and a portion of linear motor modules 201 corresponding to each modular portion 401. The linear motor adjustment system 500 includes at least one linear motor adjustment mechanism 100 corresponding to each linear motor module 201. The linear motor adjustment mechanism 100 is disposed at the end, middle, or between the end and middle of the linear motor module 201. The linear motor modules 201 can be correspondingly spliced ​​together while the modular portions 401 are being assembled to form a linear motor assembly 200. The linear motor assembly 200 allows a robot arm 300 to reciprocate in a second direction (i.e., the X direction and the opposite direction of X in the figure). After any two adjacent linear motor modules 201 are spliced ​​together to form all or part of the linear motor whole 200, the linear motor adjustment mechanism 100 can adjust the position of the corresponding linear motor module 201 in any one of the first direction (i.e., the Y direction and the opposite direction of Y in the figure), the second direction, and the third direction (i.e., the Z direction and the opposite direction of Z in the figure) (the positions of multiple directions can also be adjusted), so that any two adjacent linear motor modules 201 are fully aligned in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction, so that the linear motor whole 200 is completely consistent in the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction intersect each other.

[0037] For example, the first direction is a horizontal direction, the second direction is another horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the third direction is a vertical direction.

[0038] In the above embodiments, by setting at least one linear motor adjustment mechanism 100 to adjust the position of the corresponding linear motor module 201 in any one of the first, second, and third directions, any two adjacent linear motor modules 201 are fully aligned in the first, second, and third directions. This enables the robot arm 300 to perform consistent horizontal movement without tilting or undulating. This ensures the motion performance and wafer transfer accuracy of the robot arm 300 (i.e., accurate picking and placing of substrates). It also prevents the electroplating uniformity from failing to meet the requirements due to the robot arm 300's inaccurate wafer transfer, thus affecting the efficiency and process level of electroplating. At the same time, it also prevents the robot arm 300 from being damaged due to undulating movement.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the number of module sections 401 is three, and the linear motor modules 201 are correspondingly provided with three module sections 401, and each linear motor module 201 is correspondingly provided with one or two linear motor adjusting mechanisms 100.

[0040] Exemplarily, the three module sections 401 are arranged in sequence along the second direction.

[0041] Exemplarily, the three module sections 401 along the second direction can be a first electroplating module section, a second electroplating module section, and a cleaning module section respectively, the first electroplating module section and the second electroplating module section are both configured to electroplate the substrate, and the cleaning module section is configured to clean the substrate before and after electroplating.

[0042] In actual application, more (such as 2 or more) linear motor adjusting mechanisms 100 can be provided for the linear motor module 201 with a longer length to accurately adjust the linear motor module 201 with a longer length, and fewer (such as 1) linear motor adjusting mechanisms 100 can be provided for the linear motor module 201 with a shorter length to reduce the cost.

[0043] Exemplarily, the number of linear motor adjusting mechanisms 100 is five, that is, one linear motor module 201 is provided with one, and the other two linear motor modules are both provided with two. It can be understood that the number of linear motor adjusting mechanisms 100 (including the total number and the number provided on a single linear motor module) can be appropriately set according to the splicing of the linear motor module 201, as long as the spliced linear motor whole 200 is completely consistent.

[0044] Since the linear motor whole 200 has a large volume and a heavy weight, it is difficult to install, transport and maintain the linear motor whole 200. In the above embodiment, the linear motor whole 200 is divided into three linear motor modules 201, which facilitates the installation, transportation and maintenance of the linear motor whole 200. By correspondingly providing one or two linear motor adjusting mechanisms 100 for the linear motor module 201, accurate adjustment of the linear motor module 201 can be achieved.

[0045] In order to ensure that the linear motor module 201 is aligned in three directions after splicing, the linear motor module 201 needs to be adjusted in three directions, and such an adjusting structure can have different design schemes. The specific structure of the linear motor adjusting system 500 described in the specification of the present application is only one of the technical solutions capable of adjusting in three directions, and any structure capable of adjusting the position of the linear motor module 201 in any one of the first direction, the second direction and the third direction is within the protection scope of the present embodiment.
