However, in this process, the two types of plugs are made of different materials and are often manufactured by different manufacturers. There is a large tolerance between the plugs, and there is a gap when docking. This can easily lead to the risk of scratches on the front side of the wafer during the inverting process, which can easily cause dirt to adhere, thus affecting the product yield.

The supporting seat 200 is connected to the base plate 100. The side of the supporting seat 200 facing away from the base plate 100 is movably connected to the tray 300. Matching grooves are provided at both ends of the tray 300. The side of the tray 300 facing away from the supporting seat 200 is concave to form a box carrying area. The box carrying area is used to carry the first wafer box 710 and the second wafer box 720. The matching groove extends from one end of the tray 300 to the box carrying area. The matching groove runs through the tray 30 0, the box carrier area includes a first box carrier area 310 and a second box carrier area 320, the first box carrier area 310 is adapted to the first wafer box 710, the second box carrier area 320 is adapted to the second wafer box 720, the side of the supporting seat 200 facing away from the bottom plate 100 is connected to the top plate module 500, the second box carrier area 320 is vertically movably connected to the pad 400, a plurality of positioning holes are arranged in the second box carrier area 320, the positioning holes are movably connected to the positioning members 330, the positioning members 330 are connected to the pad 400 to adjust the setting height of the pad 400. Preferably, the bottom plate 100 is made of steel plate for counterweight to stabilize the wafer inverting jig, the bearing seat 200 is fixed to the bottom plate 100 by bolts, a protrusion is arranged on the side of the bearing seat 200 facing away from the bottom plate 100, the protrusion is arranged along the length direction of the bearing seat 200 and is located on the central axis of the bearing seat 200 to limit the moving track of the tray 300 on the bearing seat 200, a concave portion adapted to the protrusion is arranged on the side of the tray 300 facing the bearing seat 200, the top sheet module 500 is arranged on the protrusion, and the tray 300 can Slide along the raised portion toward the top sheet module 500. Since the plug, that is, the box for placing the wafers, has a groove running through the plug at the bottom, the matching grooves at both ends of the tray 300 are adapted to the shape of the grooves on the plug, that is, adapted to the shape of the plug, to facilitate the transfer operation of the wafers therein. The shape of the box carrying area is the shape after the first wafer box 710 and the second wafer box 720 are docked. The positioning member 330 uses bolts. The first wafer box 710 is a plug made of PFA material, and the second wafer box 720 is a plug made of PP material. The two plugs are not consistent in height when placed on the same plane. It can be understood that the sliding track of the tray 300 on the supporting base 200 is single, and the box carrying area is adapted to the shape of the plug, which helps to reduce operational errors and irregularities, improve product yield, and help to accurately dock the plug in the horizontal direction. The pad 400 is adjusted to align the height of the second wafer box 720 with the height of the first wafer box 710, reducing the risk of scratching the film source during the box inversion operation and avoiding the negative impact of dirt on the film source.

[0028] The top sheet module 500 is used to abut the wafer 800 in the first wafer box 710 or the second wafer box 720 when the tray 300 moves toward the top sheet module 500. The top sheet module 500 includes a first top sheet 510 and a second top sheet 520. One end of the second top sheet 520 is connected to the support seat 200, and the second top sheet 520 is connected to the first top sheet 510 on the side facing the tray 300. The height of the first top sheet 510 is the same as the height of the first wafer box 710.

Preferably, the height of the fixing plate 610 is adapted to the height of the first wafer box 710 after being placed in the first box carrier area 310. When the second wafer box 720 is aligned with the first wafer box 710 in height, the first wafer box 710 and the second wafer box 720 can be abutted by the fixing plate 610 on one side facing the bearing seat 200. Specifically, a plurality of connectors 110 are provided on the side wall of the bottom plate 100, and the connectors 110 are used to disassemble and connect the brackets 600. It can be understood that the fixing plate 610 helps to stabilize the plug, stabilize the box inversion process, and further protect the wafer product. In addition, in the face of plugs of different specifications, the brackets 600 of different heights can be replaced.
