Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductor silicon wafer etching and cleaning, in particular to a corrosion cage locking and self-rotating device used for an acid etching machine. Background Art
[0002] In the semiconductor silicon wafer process, chemical etching is required to eliminate the damaged layer caused by mechanical processing such as slicing and grinding. The Chinese semiconductor market has a huge demand, but the labor cost continues to rise, forcing semiconductor silicon wafer manufacturers to improve the degree of automation equipment, maximize the number of products that can be etched at one time to expand production capacity, and improve the process to improve the yield rate of wafers.
[0003] The existing technology has the following problems:
[0004] (1) Since many wafers are etched at one time, the etching cage after loading is too heavy and large in size, and is not easy to clamp on the etching cleaning machine; (2) The rotating shaft of the etching cage is circular. When the etching cage is filled with 100 wafers, it rotates at high speed under heavy load. In addition, the circular slots at the clamping point will have gaps due to wear, and when it stops suddenly, the rotating shaft of the etching cage and the clamping point will rotate relative to each other; (3) Etching the wafers in a static state will lead to uneven surface corrosion of the surface wafers, which will reduce the yield rate of the wafers. Therefore, it is necessary to rotate the etching cage at a uniform speed under a controllable state during the etching process;
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a locking structure that can conveniently install the corrosion cage at the clamping point, prevent the rotation axis of the corrosion cage from rotating relative to the clamping point, and enable the corrosion cage to rotate at a constant speed under a controllable state during the corrosion process. Utility Model Content
