[0021] The output end shaft of the motor 6 passes through the interior of the clamp box 5 through a bearing and is fixed with a bidirectional screw 8. The two groups of wafer clamps 7 symmetrically distributed above and below are slid into the clamp box 5 at one end close to the clamp box 5. The two groups of clamp boxes 5 are provided with through grooves adapted to the wafer clamps 7 on opposite sides for the wafer clamps 7 to slide through. The upper and lower groups of wafer clamps 7 are located on one side of the clamp box 5 and are respectively threadedly connected to the two sides of the bidirectional screw 8 in opposite directions. The motor 6 drives the bidirectional screw 8 to rotate, so that the wafer clamps 7 threadedly connected on both sides of the bidirectional screw 8 are displaced toward each other, thereby achieving the clamping and fixation of the semiconductor wafer raw materials.

[0028] When the height of the wafer material after clamping and fixing needs to be adjusted according to actual processing needs, the lifting and adjusting mechanism is started to drive the two sets of driving boxes 2 to drive the motor box 3 and the clamp box 5 to move up and down until the wafer material clamped between the two sets of clamp boxes 5 is lifted to an appropriate position, that is, the processing height adjustment is completed;
