Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wafer suction cups, in particular to a wafer suction cup for a glue coating and developing machine. Background Art

[0002] The coating and developing equipment can complete the process of photoresist coating, developing and testing, and is an essential machine for semiconductor manufacturing. The coating and developing equipment refers to the machine used in conjunction with the photolithography machine in the photolithography process. The coating and developing equipment has the functions of baking, coating and developing, which can directly affect the formation of the exposure pattern in the photolithography process, and is mainly used in the manufacture of chips and power devices. The coating and developing equipment mainly includes developers, coating machines, sprayers, etc. In the production process of semiconductors, the coating and developing machine is used in the photolithography process of semiconductor manufacturing, and is the equipment for coating (coating) and developing (developing) the photosensitive agent (photoresist). The coating and developing machine unit consists of multiple system modules, among which the chemical cabinet liquid inlet system is an important part of the coating and developing. The current system-related main components are mainly composed of tanks, vacuum generators, electromagnetic sensors, solenoid valves, diluents, pipelines and other components. In the coating (coating) unit of the equipment, the photosensitive agent on the silicon wafer is first coated, and then sent to the exposure equipment, and the pattern on the MASK is projected onto the silicon wafer through the photolithography machine.

[0003] According to a wafer suction cup for a coating and developing machine with application number 202322066037.1, the workpiece can be effectively adsorbed to reduce shaking of the workpiece. At the same time, the supporting device can effectively prevent the workpiece from falling and breaking, thereby effectively ensuring production safety. The entire equipment also has the function of shock absorption during the adsorption and transportation process, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the entire production.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned wafer suction cup for glue coating and developing machine has certain shortcomings. The suction cup drives the supporting plate to support the adsorbed wafer from both sides through the cylinder. However, the thickness of existing wafers varies depending on the size and purpose. Therefore, when thicker wafers are supported from both sides, it is very easy to cause the supporting plate and the wafer to come into hard contact, thereby causing damage to the wafer. Moreover, the suction cup cannot adjust the supporting plate and the suction cup according to the thickness of the adsorbed workpiece to support it. Therefore, there are certain shortcomings. For this reason, we propose a wafer suction cup for glue coating and developing machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a wafer suction cup for a glue coating and developing machine, which solves the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0012] The utility model provides a wafer suction cup for a glue coating and developing machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The wafer suction cup for the glue coating and developing machine cooperates with the electric telescopic rod, rack, mounting groove, rotating shaft and transmission gear. When the rubber suction nozzle sucks the workpiece, it only needs to open the electric telescopic rod to push the outer cover down so that the transmission gear and the rack are engaged to drive the rotating shaft and the mounting plate to rotate, so that the support plate and the rubber pad can support the adsorbed workpiece from the bottom instead of supporting the workpiece from both sides, thereby effectively avoiding the damage of the workpiece when adsorbing the workpiece.

[0014] 2. The wafer suction cup for the glue coating and developing machine is matched with the mounting cavity, threaded rod, driven bevel gear, rotating rod, driving bevel gear, rotating knob, sleeve block and connecting rod.
