[0002] Semiconductor silicon component products include silicon ingots, silicon barrels, silicon disks, silicon rings, silicon tubes, etc. These silicon components are mainly used to carry or participate in the manufacturing process of semiconductor wafers. The wet etching process is a key step in the processing of semiconductor silicon components. The principle of wet etching is to use chemical methods to remove pollutants attached to the surface of silicon components. Wet etching can make the surface of the parts reach a higher degree of cleanliness.
[0003] In the prior art, a dedicated wet etching device is used for the etching process. First, the silicon component is installed in the etching tool, and then the tool is immersed in the etching liquid to etch and clean the surface of the workpiece. During the etching process, the surface of the silicon component will contact the tool, and the etching liquid cannot act on these contact parts, resulting in poor uniformity of the etching effect on the surface of the silicon component, which will leave marks locally and affect subsequent use. Utility Model Content
[0004] The problem to be solved by the utility model is how to make the etching liquid contact completely with the surface of the silicon component and improve the etching uniformity.

[0006] The etching tool of the utility model supports the silicon component by two bearing shafts. The arc surface of the outer wall of the bearing shaft has a small contact area with the silicon component, and the roller of the bearing shaft can rotate with the silicon component. Therefore, during the etching process, the etching liquid will contact the entire surface of the silicon component, avoiding the occurrence of local etching leaks, thereby achieving uniform etching of the surface of the silicon component.
[0007] Furthermore, the roller is provided with at least one circumferentially arranged limiting groove, which can be used to limit the assembly of silicon parts with smaller thickness, such as silicon rings, silicon plates, etc., to improve the versatility of the tooling.
[0008] Furthermore, the groove walls on both sides of the limiting groove are symmetrically inclined, and the limiting groove gradually increases from the groove bottom to the groove opening.

[0009] Furthermore, the tooling plate is provided with two long strip adjustment holes, the two adjustment holes on one tooling plate are symmetrically and tiltedly arranged, the two ends of the fixed shaft are positioned in the adjustment holes, and the installation positions of the two ends of the fixed shaft in the adjustment holes are adjustable. The long strip adjustment holes are provided to adjust the installation position of the bearing shaft, so that the tooling can be adapted to silicon components of different sizes, thereby improving versatility.
[0010] Furthermore, the fixed shaft includes a shaft body and threaded columns arranged at both ends of the shaft body, and the threaded columns pass through the corresponding adjustment holes and are fixedly connected to the nuts. The fixed shaft adopts a threaded connection form, which can realize rapid position adjustment and reliable positioning.
[0011] Furthermore, the etching tool further comprises two reinforcing bars, which are arranged in parallel and symmetrically, and the two ends of the reinforcing bars are respectively connected to one of the tooling plates.

[0012] Furthermore, the symmetry axes of the two reinforcing bars coincide with the symmetry axes of the two bearing axes, and the distance between the two reinforcing bars is greater than the distance between the two bearing axes, thereby preventing the reinforcing bars from interfering with the loading of the silicon components.
[0013] Furthermore, at least one clamping groove is provided on the reinforcing strip, and the opening direction of the clamping groove on each reinforcing strip faces the other reinforcing strip. The clamping groove is provided so that the reinforcing strip can provide limited support for the thinner sheet-shaped silicon component.
[0014] Furthermore, the tooling plate is provided with two positioning grooves, and one end of each reinforcement strip enters into the corresponding positioning groove. Providing the positioning groove is conducive to the stable installation of the reinforcement strip and prevents the reinforcement strip from falling off.
[0015] Furthermore, at least one weight-reducing hole is provided on the tooling plate. Providing the weight-reducing hole can reduce the overall weight of the tooling, which is beneficial to increasing the loading capacity of the transmission device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0027] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a silicon component etching tool for loading silicon components for etching operations. The etching tool comprises two parallel and symmetrically arranged tool plates 1, the setting plane of the tool plates 1 is Figure 1 The planes where the Y axis and the Z axis are located are parallel. The two tooling plates 1 are connected by two bearing shafts 2, which are arranged in parallel and symmetrically. The extension direction of the bearing shafts 2 is Figure 1 The two bearing shafts 2 form a supporting structure for the silicon component, and the silicon component can be placed on the bearing shafts 2 .
[0028] The etching tool also includes two reinforcing bars 3, which are arranged in parallel and symmetrically. The extending direction of the reinforcing bars 3 is Figure 1 The two ends of the reinforcing strip 3 are respectively connected to a tooling plate 1, which plays a role in reinforcing the overall structure of the etching tooling and preventing the tooling plate 1 from being damaged by force.
[0029] The symmetry axes of the two reinforcing bars 3 coincide with the symmetry axes of the two bearing axes 2, and the distance between the two reinforcing bars 3 is greater than the distance between the two bearing axes 2, so that the reinforcing bars 3 can be prevented from interfering with the loading of silicon components. Figure 1 The middle Z axis is parallel, and the two reinforcing bars 3 and the two bearing shafts 2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the symmetrical center line of the tooling plate 1.
[0030] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the tooling plate 1 is provided with two long strip-shaped adjustment holes 11, which are symmetrically inclined, and the two ends of the bearing shaft 2 are positioned in the adjustment holes 11, and the installation positions of the two ends of the bearing shaft 2 in the adjustment holes 11 are adjustable. By adjusting the position of the bearing shaft 2 along the adjustment holes 11, the installation height of the bearing shaft 2 and the distance between the two bearing shafts 2 can be changed synchronously, so that the tooling can be adapted to silicon components of different sizes, and has good versatility.
[0031] Each tooling plate 1 is provided with two positioning grooves 12 on one side facing the other tooling plate 1, and the positions of the positioning grooves 12 correspond to the installation positions of the reinforcing strips 3. When the reinforcing strips 3 are assembled, the two ends thereof enter the corresponding positioning grooves 12, which can achieve stable installation and prevent the reinforcing strips 3 from falling off.
[0032] When etching silicon parts, the etching tool needs to be connected to the transmission device. A slot 14 is provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the tool plate 1, which is used to connect with the corresponding slot structure on the transmission device to ensure that the etching tool is installed stably and will not deviate during movement. Preferably, the tool plate 1 is also provided with a plurality of weight-reducing holes 13, and the shapes of the weight-reducing holes 13 can be the same or different, which can reduce the overall weight of the tool while ensuring the structural strength, which is conducive to increasing the loading capacity of the transmission device.

The roller 23 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 21, and the roller 23 is rollingly connected with the fixed shaft 21. The fixed shaft 21 includes a shaft body and threaded columns 22 arranged at both ends of the shaft body. The threaded columns 22 pass through the corresponding adjustment holes 11 and are fixedly connected with nuts. The fixed shaft 21 adopts a threaded connection form, which can realize rapid position adjustment.

The arc-shaped outer wall surface of the roller 23 has a small contact area with the silicon component, and the roller 23 can rotate with the silicon component. Therefore, during the etching process, the etching liquid will contact the entire surface of the silicon component, avoiding local etching leaks, thereby improving the etching uniformity of the silicon component surface.
[0035] In this embodiment, a plurality of circumferentially arranged limiting grooves 24 are provided on the roller 23, and the limiting grooves 24 are used to limit the assembly of silicon parts with smaller thickness, such as silicon rings, silicon plates, etc., to improve the versatility of the tooling. Preferably, the groove walls on both sides of the limiting groove 24 are symmetrically inclined, and the opening gradually increases from the bottom of the groove to the groove mouth, that is, the limiting groove 24 adopts a V-shaped opening structure, which can reduce assembly interference and facilitate the loading of silicon parts.
