Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wafer electroplating equipment, in particular to a wafer electroplating fixture. Background Art
[0002] Electroplating is the process of plating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on the surface of certain conductive materials using the principle of electrolysis. It is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a layer of metal film to the surface of metal or other materials. Currently, most wafer electroplating fixtures on the market are fixed with screws or pressing plates, which have complicated operation procedures and low disassembly and assembly efficiency. In addition, the tightness of the bolts and the strength of the pressing plates will also affect the thickness of the wafer electroplating layer, resulting in uneven electroplating quality.
[0003] The utility model patent with patent number 201721778298.4 discloses a wafer electroplating fixture, including: a main body, a groove for accommodating a wafer is arranged on the main body, and an automatic clamping mechanism. The automatic clamping mechanism includes a support, a connecting rod, a clamping block and a spring member, etc. Among them, the support is fixedly connected to the main body, the connecting rod is slidably connected to the support, the clamping block is used to clamp and position the wafer, and a chamfer is arranged on the edge opposite to the main body at the front end. The clamping block is fixedly arranged at one end of the connecting rod, and a hand-held part is arranged at the other end of the connecting rod. The spring member is fitted on the connecting rod and arranged between the support and the clamping block. The wafer electroplating fixture can automatically press the wafer with the clamping block through the restoring force of the spring member.
[0004] However, it is obvious that the device is very inconvenient to remove the wafer. It is necessary to pull the handheld part one by one to open the clamping blocks, and one person cannot open all the clamping blocks at the same time. If the clamping blocks are opened without any external force or fixation, they will automatically retract under the action of the spring. It is very inconvenient and has poor practicality in actual use. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] The present invention will be further described below through specific implementation modes and accompanying drawings.
[0016] like Figure 1~2A wafer electroplating jig includes a jig body 1 and an automatic clamping mechanism. The jig body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11. The automatic clamping mechanism includes a support 2. The support 2 is an annular table arranged concentrically with the receiving groove 11. It is provided with a plurality of guide holes 21 evenly arranged along its circumference. A guide rod 22 is passed through the support 2. The guide rod 22 is cooperatively passed through the guide holes 21. The number of the guide holes 21 is not less than the number of the guide rods 22. The guide holes 21 of appropriate number and position can be selected as needed to insert the guide rods 22 to ensure the fixing effect on the wafer. A clamping block is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod 22, and a clamping spring 23 is sleeved on it. The two ends of the clamping spring 23 are respectively pressed against the support 2 and the clamping block.
[0017] Specifically, the automatic clamping mechanism also includes a driving assembly for synchronously pulling the guide rod 22. The driving assembly includes a driving ring 3 and a plurality of connecting rods 31, one end of each connecting rod 31 is hinged to the driving ring 3, and a moving pin 33 is fixed to the other end. A strip groove 32 is provided on the end of the guide rod 22 away from the clamping block, and a moving pin 33 is slidably connected in the strip groove 32. One end of the moving pin 33 passes through the strip groove 32 and is threaded with a nut. The moving pin 33 is connected to the connecting rod 31 and can move relatively along the strip groove 32 to avoid additional resistance to the movement of the guide rod 22 due to the position of the connecting rod 31 when the wafer is placed in the receiving slot 11, thereby ensuring the convenience of installing the wafer on the fixture.
[0018] Furthermore, the drive ring 3 can be rotatably mounted on the jig body 1, and a plurality of arc guide grooves 4 are evenly opened on the jig body 1 along the circumferential direction. A guide block 41 is fixedly connected to the drive ring 3, and the guide block 41 is slidably connected in the arc guide groove 4, and the cross-sectional figure of the arc guide groove 4 in the vertical direction is an inverted T shape; a reset spring 42 is provided in the arc guide groove 4, and the reset spring 42 is located on the side of the guide block 41 close to the connecting rod 31, and its two ends are respectively pressed against the guide block 41 and the groove wall of the annular guide groove, so as to drive the guide block 41 to move to reset the drive ring, thereby facilitating the subsequent re-entry of the wafer.
[0019] The specific implementation process of the utility model is as follows: when the wafer is placed, the clamping block is squeezed, the guide rod 22 resists the retraction of the clamping spring 23, and the strip groove 32 moves relative to the movable pin 33. After the wafer is completely inserted, the guide rod 22 opens toward the accommodating groove 11 under the action of the clamping spring 23 and applies a clamping force; when the wafer needs to be removed, the driving ring is rotated, and the guide rod 22 is linked through the connecting rod 31, so as to synchronously open the clamping block on the guide rod 22 and take out the wafer.
[0020] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the structural features of the present invention are not limited thereto. The present invention can be used on similar products. Any changes or modifications made by any technician in the field of the present invention are covered by the patent scope of the present invention.
