[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the wafer is placed on the moving seat and the wafer is inspected through the microscope body. When it is necessary to inspect different positions of the wafer, the staff rotates the support rod through the rotating assembly to adjust the rotation angle of the wafer, and then starts the two electric push rods to control the extension and retraction of the output shafts of the electric push rods. Since the output shaft ends of the electric push rods are fixed to the side walls of the sliders, and the sliders are slidably connected in the slide grooves, the moving seat can move horizontally or vertically in the moving grooves, eliminating the tedious operation of manually moving the wafers, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of wafer inspection.

[0007] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a driven gear fixedly sleeved on the support rod, a motor fixed to the upper surface of the base, and a driving gear fixed to the end of the output shaft of the motor and meshing with the driven gear.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the support rod needs to be rotated, the staff starts the motor to drive the driving gear to rotate, thereby rotating the driven gear meshing with the driving gear and the support rod fixed to the driven gear, which is convenient for adjusting the rotation position of the wafer.

[0009] Furthermore, a controller electrically connected to the electric push rod is fixed on the upper surface of the base, and the controller is electrically connected to the motor.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the ball is rollingly connected to the moving groove, which reduces the friction between the lower surface of the moving seat and the bottom wall of the moving groove, reduces the kinetic energy loss of the electric push rod, and reduces the wear between the lower surface of the moving seat and the bottom wall of the moving groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a protective shell for covering the rotating assembly is fixed on the upper surface of the base.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective shell protects the rotating component and reduces the probability of damage to the rotating component under the action of external force.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of heat dissipation holes are provided on the side wall of the protective shell close to the motor.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the heat dissipation holes can achieve a heat dissipation effect for the motor, reducing the probability of the motor shutting down or even being damaged due to overheating.

[0017] Furthermore, a flaring groove communicating with the mounting groove is formed on the upper surface of the mounting seat, and a baffle matching with the flaring groove is arranged in the flaring groove.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle protects the electric push rod in the installation groove, reduces the probability of damage to the electric push rod, and facilitates the installation and maintenance of the electric push rod.

[0019] In summary, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. In this application, a wafer is placed on a moving seat, and the wafer is inspected through a microscope body. When different positions of the wafer need to be inspected, the staff rotates the support rod through a rotating assembly to adjust the rotation angle of the wafer, and then starts two electric push rods to control the extension and retraction of the output shafts of the electric push rods. Since the output shaft ends of the electric push rods are fixed to the side walls of the sliders, and the sliders are slidably connected in the slide grooves, the moving seat is moved horizontally or vertically in the moving grooves, eliminating the tedious operation of manually moving the wafers, and improving the convenience and accuracy of wafer inspection.

The mounting seat 4 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and a movable groove 41 is provided on the upper surface of the mounting seat 4, and mounting grooves 42 are provided on the inner walls on both sides adjacent to the movable groove 41. The movable seat 5 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and the movable seat 5 is arranged in the movable groove 41 and is slidably connected to the inner bottom wall of the movable groove 41, and the side walls on both sides adjacent to the movable seat 5 are provided with control grooves 51, and each control groove 51 inner wall is provided with a slide groove 52. The slider 6 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and two sliders 6 are provided, and the two sliders 6 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two slide grooves 52 respectively.

[0030] The driving assembly is mounted on the base 1 and is used to drive the support rod 3 to rotate. The driving assembly includes a driven gear 81, a motor 82 and a driving gear 83. The driven gear 81 is fixedly sleeved on the support rod 3, and the axis of the driven gear 81 coincides with the axis of the support rod 3. The motor 82 is fixed on the upper surface of the base 1, and the output shaft of the motor 82 extends vertically upward. The driving gear 83 is fixed to the end of the output shaft of the motor 82, the driving gear 83 is meshed with the driven gear 81, and the axis of the driving gear 83 coincides with the axis of the output shaft of the motor 82.

[0031] The wafer is placed on the moving seat 5 and inspected through the microscope body 2. When it is necessary to inspect different positions of the wafer, the staff drives the active gear 83 to rotate by starting the motor 82, so that the driven gear 81 meshing with the active gear 83 and the support rod 3 fixed to the driven gear 81 rotate, so as to adjust the rotation angle of the wafer, and then start the two electric push rods 7 to control the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the electric push rod 7.

The baffle plate protects the electric push rod 7 in the mounting groove 42, reduces the probability of damage to the electric push rod 7, and facilitates the installation and maintenance of the electric push rod 7.

[0037] The operating principle of a microscope observation device for wafer defect detection in the present embodiment is as follows: the wafer is placed on the moving seat 5, and the wafer is inspected through the microscope body 2. When it is necessary to inspect different positions of the wafer, the staff drives the active gear 83 to rotate by starting the motor 82, so that the driven gear 81 meshing with the active gear 83 and the support rod 3 fixed to the driven gear 81 rotate, so as to adjust the rotation angle of the wafer, and then start the two electric push rods 7 to control the extension and retraction of the output shaft of the electric push rod 7. Since the end of the output shaft of the electric push rod 7 is fixed to the side wall of the slider 6, and the slider 6 is slidably connected in the slide groove 52, the moving seat 5 is moved horizontally or vertically in the moving groove 41, eliminating the tedious operation of manually moving the wafer, thereby improving the convenience and accuracy of wafer detection.
