Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photolithography machines, in particular to a feeding mechanism of a photolithography machine. Background Art
[0002] The feeding mechanism of the photolithography machine is a key component in the photolithography equipment. It is used to evenly coat the photoresist on the surface of the silicon wafer, providing a basis for subsequent pattern transfer and processing. The feeding mechanism of the photolithography machine usually includes a coating device, a silicon wafer clamping device, a feeding control system and a cleaning device. The coating device evenly coats the photoresist on the surface of the silicon wafer through a coating head and a coating roller to ensure the thickness and uniformity of the adhesive layer. The silicon wafer clamping device is used to stably clamp the silicon wafer to ensure the stable position of the silicon wafer during the coating process.

This patent mainly accumulates raw materials on the upper side of the placement plate, and the second drive motor drives the connected threaded block to drive the placement plate to move upward in a straight line. When the raw material is parallel to one side of the push plate, the push plate is driven by the repeated extension and retraction of the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod to push the raw material to the surface of the conveyor belt and transport it to the lower side of the photolithography machine body, reducing manpower and improving efficiency. However, in the original document description of the application, when facing different silicon wafer sizes, the device is difficult to smoothly transport the silicon wafer to the bottom of the glue coating head, thereby affecting the overall glue coating effect of the glue coating head. For this reason, we propose a feeding mechanism for a photolithography machine. Utility Model Content
