Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material handling and transportation technology, and more specifically, to a photomask handling device for a chip lithography machine. Background Technology

[0002] After picking up the photomask, the photomask picking device of the chip lithography machine achieves stable transportation through precise mechanical structure and automated control. This ensures that the photomask and silicon wafer are accurately aligned, avoids contamination or mechanical damage during transportation, reduces human intervention, and thus improves production efficiency and product yield, providing a key guarantee for high-precision chip manufacturing.

[0003] In existing publicly available literature, patent publication number CN106672616A discloses an automatic feeding and unloading device for photomasks in a chip lithography machine. This technology uses a first or second suction plate driven by an opening and closing power device. Both the first and second suction plates have clearance recesses on opposite sides. The automatic feeding and unloading device allows the photomask to enter from both sides and directly adsorb the photomask through the opening and closing of the first and second suction plates. The first and second suction plates do not contact the photomask film, thus avoiding wear or tearing of the film. However, this technology still has the following problems.

[0004] In chip lithography machines, the picking and transport of photomasks is often accomplished using a suction cup mechanism. However, due to the variety of photomask models, the model selected during picking and transport may not match the actual requirements, leading to incorrect picking and transport. Some operators, for the sake of convenience, force incorrect picking, which can easily cause serious consequences. Not only does the photomask fall due to improper picking, but it is also damaged during transport due to collisions caused by incorrect paths. Such incorrect operations not only damage the photomask itself but also throw the entire picking and transport process into chaos. Although certain management measures have been taken, the complexity of the operation and the difficulty in fully controlling human factors make it difficult to completely eliminate such non-compliant picking and transport situations.

[0047] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0048] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] like Figure 1 - Figure 2 The illustrated chip lithography machine's photomask picking device includes a picking tray 1 and multiple suction cups 2 located below it. The suction cups 2 are used to pick up and transport the photomask. A front bar 3 is located on one side of the suction cups 2, and a driving component is mounted on the front bar 3. A slanted insertion rod 4 is located on one side of the front bar 3, and a limiting component is provided on the outer wall of the slanted insertion rod 4. A movable seat 5 is provided on one side of the slanted insertion rod 4. A spacer is installed on the upper surface of the slanted insertion rod 4 and is connected to the multiple suction cups 2. A self-testing component is located on the outer wall of the picking tray 1. The self-testing component is used to detect the photomask model. If the model does not match the set model, the driving component drives the front bar 3 to rotate, thereby limiting the downward movement of the front part of the picking tray 1. When the front bar 3 rotates, it squeezes the slanted insertion rod 4, causing the slanted insertion rod 4 to insert into the movable seat 5. The slanted insertion rod 4 drives the limiting component to insert into the movable seat 5, thereby limiting the downward movement of the rear part of the picking tray 1. The slanted insertion rod 4 simultaneously drives the spacer to move, increasing the distance between the multiple suction cups 2 and the photomask.

[0051] The implementation principle of the embodiment is that: the self-checking part detects the type of the photoetching plate, when the type does not conform to the set type, the front strip 3 is driven to rotate by the driving part, so that the detection is carried out before the material taking and transportation process, which greatly improves the high accuracy of the material taking and transportation, and then the front strip 3 rotates to limit the front of the material taking disc 1, at this time, the front of the material taking disc 1 is limited to move downward, and the front strip 3 extrudes the inclined inserting rod 4 when rotating, so that the power of the front strip 3 is fully utilized to convert into the extrusion force of the inclined inserting rod 4, so that the inclined inserting rod 4 is inserted into the inside of the moving seat 5, so that the inclined inserting rod 4 and the moving seat 5 form an integrated state, at this time, the inclined inserting rod 4 limits the downward movement of the support frame 9, the support frame 9 limits the downward movement of the material taking disc 1, and the limiting part is also inserted into the inside of the moving seat 5 during the driving process of the inclined inserting rod 4, so as to limit the rear of the material taking disc 1 to move downward, fully utilizing the rotating force of the front strip 3, and the inclined inserting rod 4 also moves the spacer, so that the interval distance between the plurality of suction cups 2 and the photoetching plate becomes larger, preventing the suction cups 2 from accidentally sucking the photoetching plate whose type does not conform to the set type, and ensuring that the material taking and transportation of the photoetching plate is consistent with the photoetching plate conforming to the set type, so as to prevent such non-compliant material taking and transportation.

[0052] In the embodiment 1, the photoetching plate material taking device of the chip photoetching machine is disclosed.

[0053] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 Figure 8 The driving part includes: a groove body 6, which is arranged above the front strip 3, a transmission shaft 7 is rotatably arranged in the inside of the groove body 6, and the bottom end of the transmission shaft 7 is fixedly connected with the front strip 3; a rudder 8 is arranged at the top end of the transmission shaft 7, the output end of the rudder 8 is used to drive the transmission shaft 7 to rotate, and the moving seat 5 is fixedly connected with the rudder 8. The cross-sectional area of the groove body 6 is larger than that of the front strip 3, and the transmission shaft 7 is arranged vertically between the front strip 3.

[0054] The implementation principle of the embodiment is that: when the type of the photoetching plate does not conform to the set type, the rudder 8 can be started by the wireless controller 23, the output end of the rudder 8 drives the transmission shaft 7 to rotate, so that the transmission shaft 7 rotates in the inside of the material taking disc 1, and the transmission shaft 7 can also rotate in the inside of the groove body 6, so that the transmission shaft 7 drives the front strip 3 to rotate clockwise, ensuring that the upper surface of the front strip 3 is rotationally limited on the lower surface of the material taking disc 1, and at the same time, the front strip 3 is no longer kept vertically with the groove body 6, but forms an included angle region between the front strip 3 and the groove body 6, so that the front strip 3 can limit the front region of the lower surface of the material taking disc 1, preventing the material taking disc 1 from moving downward.

[0055] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 ​As shown in the figure, the limiting member comprises: a support frame 9 sliding on the outer wall of the inclined insertion rod 4, the support frame 9 being used for guiding the movement of the inclined insertion rod 4, the support frame 9 being fixedly connected with the material taking disc 1; a sleeve block 10 sliding on the inner wall of the support frame 9, the sleeve block 10 being fixedly connected with the inclined insertion rod 4, one side of the outer wall of the support frame 9 being fixedly provided with a supporting block 12, the supporting block 12 being fixedly connected with the sleeve block 10 through an elastic sheet 11, and the elastic sheet 11 being used for providing an elastic force to the sleeve block 10; an inclined strip 13 being fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the inclined insertion rod 4 and away from the front strip 3, one side of the inclined strip 13 being fixedly provided with a side rod 14, and the side rod 14 being used for being inserted into the inside of the moving seat 5. The inclined insertion rod 4 is arranged in an inclined manner, and an included angle is arranged between the inclined insertion rod 4 and the front strip 3. A gap is arranged between the side rod 14 and the inclined insertion rod 4, and the length of the side rod 14 is less than the length of the inclined insertion rod 4.

[0056] The implementation principle of the embodiment is as follows: during the clockwise rotation of the front strip 3, the end inclined surface of the inclined insertion rod 4 is pressed by the front strip 3. With the continuous rotation and pressing of the front strip 3 on the inclined insertion rod 4, the inclined insertion rod 4 is forced to move rightward in an inclined manner. The inclined insertion rod 4 stably moves rightward in an inclined manner along the inner wall of the support frame 9. The inclined insertion rod 4 drives the sleeve block 10 to move rightward in an inclined manner. The sleeve block 10 is pressed on the elastic sheet 11. At this time, the elastic sheet 11 is pressed on the supporting block 12, thereby providing an elastic force to the sleeve block 10. The inclined insertion rod 4 drives the inclined strip 13 to move rightward in an inclined manner. The inclined strip 13 drives the side rod 14 to move rightward in an inclined manner. The side rod 14 is inserted into the inside of the moving seat 5. At the same time, the inclined insertion rod 4 is also inserted into the inside of the moving seat 5. In this way, the inclined insertion rod 4 and the side rod 14 can be inserted into the inside of the moving seat 5 in an inclined state, thereby forming a double-point inclined limiting. The rear part of the material taking disc 1 is limited to move downward in an inclined double-point manner through the inclined insertion rod 4 and the side rod 14.

[0057] Embodiment 3: Based on the embodiment 2, the embodiment discloses a photoetching plate taking device of a chip photoetching machine.

[0058] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 5 - Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the spacer comprises: a sliding sleeve block 15 fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the inclined insertion rod 4, the sliding sleeve block 15 being used for sliding along the inner wall of the material taking disc 1; a guide rod 16 installed on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve block 15, the guide rod 16 being fixedly connected with the material taking disc 1, and the guide rod 16 being used for guiding the sliding of the sliding sleeve block 15; a linkage strip 17 fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the sliding sleeve block 15, the top end of the linkage strip 17 being fixedly provided with a lifting frame 18;

[0059] A linkage rod 19 sliding on the inner wall of the lifting frame 18, the lifting frame 18 being arranged in an inclined manner, and the lifting frame 18 being used for pressing the linkage rod 19 to move upward; a groove rod 20 fixedly arranged on one end of the linkage rod 19, the bottom end of the groove rod 20 being fixedly provided with a ring tube 21, the lower surface of the ring tube 21 being fixedly connected with a plurality of suction tubes 22, the suction tubes 22 being slidably connected with the material taking disc 1, and the suction tubes 22 being connected with the suction disc 2.

[0060] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the inclined insertion rod 4 is subjected to force and tilts to the right, it will cause the sliding block 15 to tilt to the right. The sliding block 15 moves along the outer wall of the guide rod 16 to ensure that the sliding block 15 tilts to the right stably. The sliding block 15 will cause the linkage bar 17 to tilt to the right, and the linkage bar 17 will cause the lifting frame 18 to tilt to the right. Due to the tilted setting, the inclined surface of the inner wall of the lifting frame 18 will squeeze the linkage rod 19, causing the linkage rod 19 to start to move upward. At the same time, the linkage rod 19 drives... The groove rod 20 moves upward, which in turn drives the ring tube 21 to move upward, increasing the distance between the ring tube 21 and the material picking tray 1. At the same time, the ring tube 21 drives multiple suction tubes 22 to move upward, so that the multiple suction tubes 22 are lifted upward along the inside of the material picking tray 1. Simultaneously, the suction tubes 22 cause the suction cups 2 to move upward, increasing the distance between the multiple suction cups 2 and the photomask. This ensures that the multiple suction cups 2 will not be accidentally or operated by other personnel to pick up the photomask. At this time, the photomask model does not match the set model, thus preventing such non-compliant material picking and transportation.

[0061] Example 4: Based on Example 3, this example discloses a photomask feeding device for a chip lithography machine:

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 - Figure 5 As shown, the self-test component includes a barcode recognition sensor 27, installed on the outer wall of the material handling tray 1. The barcode recognition sensor 27 can sense and identify the barcode model value on the photomask. If the identified value differs from the photomask barcode value set internally in the wireless controller 23, the wireless controller 23 activates the servo motor 8 to prevent accidental material handling. The wireless controller 23 also wirelessly transmits the incorrect material handling information to a back-end computer for monitoring by supervisors. The servo motor 8 can only be controlled wirelessly remotely by supervisors. If the barcode value identified by the barcode recognition sensor 27 matches the photomask barcode value set internally in the wireless controller 23, the wireless controller 23 does not need to activate the servo motor 8, and can instead activate the electric cylinder 28 for material handling and transport.

[0065] At this time, the wireless controller 23 opens the valve 24 and starts the negative pressure fan 26, the negative pressure fan 26 makes the inside of the negative pressure hose 25 generate a negative pressure, simultaneously makes the inside of the valve 24 generate a negative pressure, and makes the inside of the suction pipe 22 generate a negative pressure, and makes the inside of the suction disc 2 generate a negative pressure, and the photolithography plate is negatively sucked, after being sucked, the pressure sensor 29 is driven to move upward by the electric cylinder 28, the material taking disc 1 is driven to move upward by the pressure sensor 29, simultaneously, the servo motor 33 is started, the servo motor 33 drives the screw rod 32 to rotate, the screw rod 32 stably rotates in the inside of the mounting frame 31, the threaded sleeve 30 is driven to move left under the action of the screw thread engagement force, the threaded sleeve 30 drives the material taking disc 1 to move left, until the material taking disc 1 moves to a specified transporting position, ensuring that the photolithography plate on the suction disc 2 can be subjected to the material taking and transporting operation.
