Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wafer processing, and more specifically to a mother-daughter ring casting device. Background Technology
[0002] A wafer is the core foundation of the semiconductor industry, essentially a thin, extremely pure, and structurally precise single-crystal silicon wafer. The manufacturing process begins with silicon dioxide, the most common element in nature, which is reduced at high temperatures to extract polycrystalline silicon. This polycrystalline silicon is then melted into cylindrical single-crystal ingots using the Czochralski or zone melting methods—a step akin to "reorganizing" scattered silicon atoms into a perfect single crystal with a regular crystal structure. The wafer processing mainly includes deoxidation and purification, processing steps, and probing steps. The basic steps of the processing steps involve first cleaning the wafer appropriately, then performing oxidation and chemical vapor deposition on its surface, followed by repeated steps such as coating, exposure, development, etching, ion implantation, and metal sputtering, ultimately completing the fabrication of multiple layers of circuits and components on the wafer. During processing, the wafer needs to be transferred to a specific carrier for subsequent processing. For example, before IPC etching, the wafer needs to be transferred to a specific tray, and the entire tray carrying the wafer is placed in a plasma etching machine for etching.
[0003] Wafer casting is a key process in semiconductor manufacturing for wafer flipping, die transfer, or film layer renewal. Its core lies in the synergistic effect of precision mechanical control and thermoforming technology to completely transfer the wafer or die from the original substrate to a new substrate, while ensuring die integrity, positional accuracy, and film adhesion during processing. However, existing casting equipment is primarily designed for metal rings and is not suitable for the mother-daughter ring casting process. Summary of the Invention

The drive end of the rotary lifting component 43 is arranged downward and connected to the rolling component 45 and the cutting component 46.
[0027] The incoming material carrier assembly 12, the empty ring carrier assembly 22, and the unloading carrier assembly 24 respectively carry the wafer-bearing mother-daughter ring 7, the empty mother-daughter ring 8, and the molded mother-daughter ring 10; the loading and unloading transport assembly 21 transports the empty mother-daughter ring 8 to the loading and unloading station 314, and the rotating seat 31 rotates to transport the empty mother-daughter ring 8 to the loading station 311; the incoming material transport assembly transports the wafer-bearing mother-daughter ring 7 to the loading station 311, and the wafer-bearing mother-daughter ring 7 and the empty mother-daughter ring 8 are stacked, that is, the wafer-bearing mother-daughter ring 7 is the upper layer mother-daughter ring, and the empty mother-daughter ring 8 is the lower layer mother-daughter ring; the rotating seat 31 rotates to transport the stacked mother-daughter rings to the molding station 312, and the lifting molding assembly 32 descends to press down the diaphragm 71 of the mother-daughter ring for molding; the rotating seat 31 rotates to transport the molded mother-daughter ring 10 to the rolling and cutting station 313, and the rotating lifting assembly 32 moves down to press down the diaphragm 71 of the mother-daughter ring for molding; the rotating seat 31 rotates to transport the molded mother-daughter ring 10 to the rolling and cutting station 313, and the rotating lifting assembly 32 moves down to press down the diaphragm 71 of the mother-daughter ring for molding. The descending component 43 drives the rolling component 45 and the cutting component 46 to descend. The rolling component 45 rolls the diaphragm 71 to ensure that the wafer 9 is adsorbed on the diaphragm 71 of the empty mother-daughter ring 8. The cutting component 46 cuts the diaphragm 71 of the upper mother-daughter ring without cutting it off, which facilitates the tearing of the upper diaphragm 71. The recovery lifting fixture 44 clamps the cut upper mother-daughter ring and transports it to the splitting and recycling component 42 for splitting and recycling the mother-daughter ring. The rotating seat 31 rotates to transport the molded mother-daughter ring 10 to the loading and unloading station 314, that is, to transport the lower mother-daughter ring to the loading and unloading station 314. The loading and unloading transport component 21 transports the molded mother-daughter ring 10 to the unloading platform 25. The unloading transport component 23 transports the molded mother-daughter ring 10 to the unloading support component 24 to realize the molding process of the mother-daughter ring.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-3 and Figure 8 As shown, the material conveying assembly 11 includes a first material receiving slide rail 111, a second material receiving slide rail 112, and a transfer platform 113; the transfer platform 113 is provided with a transfer slide rail 1131, a transfer seat 1134 is movably arranged on the transfer slide rail 1131, and a first workstation 1132 and a second workstation 1133 are arranged sequentially on the transfer platform 113. The first workstation 1132 and the second workstation 1133 are arranged on the extension path of the transfer slide rail 1131.
[0029] The two ends of the first material receiving slide rail 111 extend above the material receiving bearing assembly 12 and the first station 1132, respectively, and a material receiving lifting clamp 114 is movably arranged on the first material receiving slide rail 111; the two ends of the second material receiving slide rail 112 extend above the second station 1133 and the loading station 311, respectively, and a loading lifting clamp 115 is movably arranged on the second material receiving slide rail 112; the first material receiving slide rail 111 and the second material receiving slide rail 112 are distributed in an "L" shape.
[0030] The mutually perpendicular first and second incoming material guide rails 111 and 112 minimize the space occupied by the incoming material transfer assembly 11, thereby reducing the overall size of the molding device. The incoming material lifting fixture 114 clamps the wafer-bearing ring 7 and places it on the transfer seat 1134 located at the first station 1132. The transfer seat 1134 moves to the second station 1133 via the transfer guide rail 1131. The loading lifting fixture 115 clamps the wafer-bearing ring 7 at the second station 1133 and transports it to the loading station 311, realizing the loading of the wafer-bearing ring 7.
[0031] Specifically, the material receiving lifting fixture 114 includes a material receiving slider 1141, a material receiving cylinder 1142 fixed on the material receiving slider 1141, a material receiving seat 1143 connected to the drive end of the material receiving cylinder 1142, and a material receiving gripper 1144 fixed on the material receiving seat 1143. The material receiving slider 1141 drives the material receiving gripper 1144 to move, and the material receiving cylinder 1142 drives the material receiving gripper 1144 to move vertically, thereby realizing the clamping, transportation, and placement of the wafer-bearing ring 7. The loading lifting fixture 115 includes a loading frame 1151, which is sleeved on and movably connected to the second material receiving slide rail 112. A loading cylinder 1152 is provided at the bottom of the loading frame 1151, with the drive end of the loading cylinder 1152 facing downwards and equipped with a loading suction cup 1153. The feeding rack 1151 drives the feeding suction cup 1153 to move, and the feeding cylinder 1152 drives the feeding suction cup 1153 to rise and fall in the vertical direction to pick up and feed the male and female rings.
[0032] A vision inspection component 116 is installed below the first incoming material slide rail 111, and a barcode scanning camera 117 is installed on the first incoming material slide rail 111. The vision inspection component 116, located below, performs visual inspection on the wafer-bearing ring 7 held by the incoming material lifting fixture 114 to prevent defective products from entering the casting process. The barcode scanning camera scans the wafer-bearing ring 7 and records each ring.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 1-3 and Figure 9As shown, the loading and unloading transport assembly 21 includes a loading and unloading slide rail 211 and a loading and unloading lifting clamp 212, which is movably mounted on the loading and unloading slide rail 211. The two ends of the loading and unloading slide rail 211 extend above the empty ring support assembly 22 and the loading and unloading station 314, respectively. The loading and unloading slide rail 211 corresponds to the position of the first incoming material slide rail 111 and is parallel to each other. The empty ring support assembly 22 is located on one side of the incoming material support assembly 12. The parallelism between the loading and unloading slide rail 211 and the first incoming material slide rail 111 ensures that each transport slide rail of the molding device is located on the periphery of the molding mechanism 3, and is in a mutually perpendicular and parallel state. This improves the overall space utilization of the device while meeting the transport requirements of the wafer-bearing mother-daughter ring 7 and the empty mother-daughter ring 8, minimizing the footprint of the molding device. In this embodiment, the structure of the loading and unloading lifting clamp 212 is the same as that of the incoming material lifting clamp 114.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, a conveying mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the rotating base 31. The conveying mechanism 5 includes a conveying slide rail 51, on which a lifting suction cup assembly 52 is movably mounted. The conveying slide rail 51 drives the lifting suction cup assembly 52 to perform reciprocating linear motion above the loading / unloading station 314. The suction end of the lifting suction cup assembly 52 extends downward and adsorbs the spacer 6. The shape of the spacer 6 matches the shape of the mother and daughter rings. A clearance channel 61 is opened in the middle of the spacer 6, and the clearance channel 61 corresponds to the position of the wafer 9 on the mother and daughter rings. The lifting suction cup assembly 52 adsorbs and transports the partition 6. Before the empty female ring 8 is loaded, the lifting suction cup assembly 52 transports the partition 6 away from the loading and unloading station 314. After the loading and unloading lifting clamp 212 clamps the empty female ring 8 onto the loading and unloading station 314, the lifting suction cup assembly 52 transports the partition 6 above the loading and unloading station 314 and places the partition 6 above the empty female ring 8. The partition 6 moves synchronously with the empty female ring 8 to the loading station 311.
[0035] The loading lifting fixture 115 transports the mother-daughter ring with wafer 9 to the loading station 311, where it is stacked with the spacer 6 and the empty mother-daughter ring 8. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 10As shown, at this time, the wafer-bearing ring 7, spacer 6, and empty ring 8 are stacked sequentially from top to bottom and moved to the molding station 312 for molding under the drive of the rotating seat 31. They then move to the rolling and cutting station 313 for rolling and cutting the diaphragm 71 of the upper ring. The clearance channel 61 of the spacer 6 clearances the wafer 9, ensuring that the wafer 9 can accurately move onto the diaphragm 71 of the lower ring. The spacer 6 also blocks the edges of the upper and lower rings, preventing damage to the diaphragm 71 of the lower ring during the cutting process of the upper ring, thus improving molding efficiency. Furthermore, it reduces the adhesion area of the diaphragm 71 between the upper and lower rings, facilitating separation of the upper and lower rings at the rolling and cutting station 313.
[0036] After separation, the lower layer of mother and daughter rings and spacer 6 move to the loading / unloading station 314 under the drive of the rotary seat 31. The lifting suction cup assembly 52 adsorbs the upper layer spacer 6 and drives it away from the loading / unloading station 314, thus separating the molded mother and daughter rings 10. The loading / unloading lifting fixture 212 clamps the bottom layer of molded mother and daughter rings 10 and transports it to the unloading platform 25 for unloading.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the lifting suction cup assembly 52 includes a suction cup base 521, which is movably mounted on the transport slide rail 51. A transport cylinder 522 is fixed on the suction cup base 521, with its drive end facing upwards and driving a transport plate 523 extending outwards. The free end of the transport plate 523 extends above the loading / unloading station 314 and is fixed with a transport suction cup 524. The transport suction cup 524 adsorbs and transports the partitions 6 in the loading / unloading station 314, facilitating the clamping and unloading of the molded male and female rings 10.
[0038] The unloading platform 25 is equipped with an unloading slide rail 251, and a flipping component 252 is movably mounted on the unloading slide rail 251. The unloading transport component 23 includes an unloading robotic arm 231 and a placement platform 232. The placement platform 232 is located on one side of the unloading platform 25 and at one end of the unloading slide rail 251. The height of the placement platform 232 is lower than the height of the unloading platform 25. The unloading robotic arm 231 is located on one side of the placement platform 232. The molded female and male rings 10 are clamped by the unloading lifting fixture 212 from the unloading station 314 onto the rotating component. The rotating component moves to above the placement platform 232 via the unloading slide rail 251, flips the molded female and male rings 10 180°, and places them on the placement platform 232. The unloading robotic arm 231 clamps the flipped female and male rings, marks them, and transports them to the unloading carrier component 24.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 9As shown, specifically, the flipping assembly 252 includes a flipping seat 2521, which is movably mounted on the unloading slide rail 251. A flipping cylinder 2522 is mounted on the flipping seat 2521, and the drive end of the flipping cylinder 2522 is connected to a flipping suction cup 2523. During the unloading process, the suction surface of the flipping suction cup 2523 faces upwards, adsorbing the molded male and female rings 10 held by the loading / unloading lifting fixture 212. The flipping seat 2521 drives the flipping suction cup 2523 to move towards the placement platform 232. Until the flipping suction cup 2523 completely protrudes from the unloading platform 25, the flipping cylinder 2522 drives the flipping suction cup 2523 to flip 180° and releases the adsorption force on the male and female rings, allowing the molded male and female rings 10 to fall onto the placement platform 232 for the unloading robotic arm 231 to unload the rings. Furthermore, the placement stage 232 includes a placement frame 2321, the height of which is lower than the height of the unloading stage 25. A placement cylinder 2322 is fixed on the placement frame 2321, with its drive end facing upwards and driving a placement plate 2323. The placement cylinder 2322 drives the placement plate 2323 upwards to support the mother and daughter rings, preventing them from falling and damaging the wafer 9. The placement plate 2323 has four circumferentially distributed positioning blocks 2324, each with a positioning ramp 2325 on its top surface. The positioning blocks 2324 are located around the mother and daughter rings and contact their tops. The positioning blocks 2324 position the mother and daughter rings, ensuring their accurate placement and facilitating accurate unloading by the unloading robot arm 231.
[0040] The incoming material carrier assembly 12, the empty ring carrier assembly 22, and the unloading carrier assembly 24 are arranged in a row at intervals, and their arrangement direction is perpendicular to the extension direction of the loading and unloading slide rail 211. The unloading platform 25, the anti-loading platform, and the unloading robotic arm 231 are arranged in a row at intervals, and their arrangement direction is the same as that of the incoming material carrier assembly 12, the empty ring carrier assembly 22, and the unloading carrier assembly 24. Specifically, the arrangement directions of the unloading platform 25, the anti-unloading platform, and the unloading robotic arm 231, as well as the arrangement directions of the incoming material carrier assembly 12, the empty ring carrier assembly 22, and the unloading carrier assembly 24, are all parallel to the extension direction of the second incoming material slide rail 112. This ensures that the movement paths of the wafer-carrying ring 7, the empty ring 8, and the rings after molding are all horizontally and vertically aligned, avoiding complex paths and reducing the overall complexity of the molding device. By distributing the components parallel or perpendicularly to each other, the space utilization rate of the molding device is maximized.
