Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wafer manufacturing, in particular to a reciprocating wafer scanning device. Background Art

[0002] In the current situation of the semiconductor industry, the domestic import control of controlled products is very strict. Therefore, the procurement cycle of some commercially purchased parts used in wafer manufacturing often takes three to five months or even longer, which has a huge impact on the production cycle of wafer manufacturing. In order to solve this problem, the existing technology develops those commercially purchased parts that need to be imported internally and localizes those commercially purchased parts that need to be imported, thereby shortening the procurement cycle and solving the problem of long production cycle.

[0003] The Mapping Sensor is a detection box with a comb-like structure, which needs to be installed at the bottom of the Cassette detection position. Through the cylinder, the detection end of the comb can move it to the gap between two wafers for detection.

[0004] However, this type of wafer detection sensor is usually expensive; secondly, there are risks in the detection process of Mapping Sensor. When the machine is running, the cylinder pushes the detection device at a very fast speed, and the distance to the wafer will be very close during the detection process, so the wafer in the Cassette may come into contact with the comb-shaped detection device during the detection process, contaminating the wafer; because its comb-shaped detection end needs to contact the wafer, or directly squeeze the wafer, there is a risk of wafer breakage. This will not only increase the maintenance cost of the equipment, but may also affect production efficiency and product quality. Therefore, measures need to be taken to reduce the risk of wafer breakage and reduce the maintenance cost of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0045] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0046] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a reciprocating wafer scanning device is provided, wherein: Figure 1-4 As shown in, including:

[0048] The workbench 1 is provided with a wafer carrying position with a hollow middle portion to carry the wafer box 2, and the two sides of the wafer box 2 are provided with a plurality of vertically arranged mounting grooves facing each other;

[0049] The detection device includes a transmission device, a mounting bracket 6 and an optical fiber sensor;

[0050] The mounting bracket 6 is mounted on one side of the workbench 1 through the mounting plate 4, and the mounting bracket includes a main bracket 61 vertically arranged on one side of the workbench 1, a first bracket 62 extending from the upper end of the main bracket, and a second bracket 63 extending from the lower end of the main bracket;

[0051] The signal transmitting end 51 and the signal receiving end 52 of the optical fiber sensor are respectively arranged on the first bracket 62 and the second bracket 63 of the mounting bracket 6;

[0052] The transmission device is arranged on the mounting plate 4 and drives the mounting bracket 6 to move synchronously.

[0053] Specifically, in the prior art, there are risks in the detection process of Mapping Sensor. When the machine is running, the cylinder 9 pushes the detection device at a very fast speed, and the distance with the wafer 3 will be very close during the detection process. Therefore, the wafer 3 in the Cassette may contact with the comb-shaped detection device during the detection process, thereby contaminating the wafer 3;

[0054] Since the comb-tooth-shaped detection end needs to contact with the wafer 3 or directly press the wafer 3, there is a risk of the wafer 3 being broken.

[0055] In the above embodiment, first, a wafer support position with a hollow middle is provided on the workbench 1 for placing the wafer 3 to be tested. The wafer box 2 is placed on the wafer support position, and a plurality of mounting grooves for mounting the wafer 3 are arranged vertically on both sides thereof.

[0056] The detection device includes a transmission device, a mounting bracket 6 and an optical fiber sensor.

[0057] The mounting bracket 6 includes a main bracket 61, a first bracket 62 and a second bracket 63; the main bracket 61 is vertically arranged on one side of the workbench 1, the first bracket 62 extends from the upper end of the main bracket 61 and the first bracket 62 is vertically arranged on the main bracket 61, and the second bracket 63 extends from the lower end of the main bracket 61 and the second bracket 63 is vertically arranged on the main bracket 61;

[0058] An optical fiber sensor is arranged on the mounting bracket 6, and the optical fiber sensor includes a signal transmitting end 51 and a signal receiving end 52, one end of the signal transmitting end 51 and the signal receiving end 52 is arranged on the first bracket 62 of the mounting bracket 6, and the other end is arranged on the second bracket 63 of the mounting bracket 6.

[0059] The mounting plate 4 is perpendicular to the workbench 1 and fixedly arranged on one side of the workbench 1. The transmission device is arranged on the mounting plate 4, so the transmission device is also arranged perpendicularly relative to the workbench 1. The mounting bracket 6 is driven to move back and forth relative to the mounting plate 4 by the transmission device.

[0060] When the mounting bracket 6 moves back and forth along the side of the workbench 1 , the optical fiber sensor is controlled to work. The number of wafers 3 in the wafer box 2 is detected by the signal receiving end 52 receiving the transmission signal of the signal transmitting end 51 .

[0061] The signal receiving end 52 determines how many wafers 3 are in the wafer box 2 according to the number of times the signal transmitted by the signal transmitting end 51 is received;

[0062] Furthermore, when the transmission signal is blocked by the wafer 3 , the signal receiving end 52 cannot receive the transmission signal, which means that there is a wafer 3 in the mounting groove.

[0063] Furthermore, in the present invention, 25 installation slots are provided, and the number of the installation slots can be designed according to actual conditions.

[0064] Compared with the Mapping Sensor in the prior art, the embodiment of the utility model avoids the contact between the wafer 3 and the comb-shaped detection device, thereby reducing the risk of contaminating the wafer 3. In addition, since the embodiment of the utility model does not need to directly contact or squeeze the wafer 3, the risk of the wafer 3 breaking is also reduced.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the first bracket 62 is arranged parallel to the workbench 1 and is located above the wafer box 2;

[0066] The second bracket 63 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the workbench 1, and the extension length of the second bracket 63 is smaller than that of the first bracket 62;

[0067] The signal transmitting end 51 and the signal receiving end 52 are at an oblique angle to each other, and cooperate with each other to transmit and receive signals through the middle hollow and the wafers 3 in the wafer box 2.

[0068] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the main support 61 is parallel to the transmission device and is fixedly connected to the transmission device. Driven by the transmission device, the main support 61 can move along the workbench 1.

[0069] The first bracket 62 and the second bracket 63 are respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the workbench 1, and both brackets are arranged parallel to the workbench 1. Therefore, the first bracket 62 and the second bracket 63 can operate the wafer carrying position at the same time.

[0070] The front end of the first bracket 62 extends above the wafer carrying position, while the front end of the second bracket 63 extends below the wafer carrying position, thereby ensuring full coverage of the wafer carrying position.

[0071] Furthermore, in order to strengthen the fixation of the first bracket 62 and the second bracket to the main bracket 61, a fixing plate is also provided at the connection between the first bracket 62 or the second bracket 63 and the main bracket 61, and one side of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the first bracket 62 or the second bracket 63, and the other side is fixedly connected to the main bracket 61, so as to strengthen the connection relationship between the main bracket 61 and the first bracket 62 and the second bracket 63.

[0072] Furthermore, the extension length of the first bracket 62 is less than the extension length of the second bracket 63, ensuring that the light source irradiation center will be at the center of the wafer 3, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy. Therefore, the signal transmitting end 51 disposed at the front end of the first bracket 62 and the signal receiving end 52 disposed at the front end of the second bracket 63 are tilted optical fiber sensors, and such a setting can increase the detection accuracy.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the front ends of the first bracket 62 and the second bracket 63 are both provided with sensor brackets, which are used to fix the signal transmitting end 51 and the signal receiving end 52 of the optical fiber sensor respectively;

[0074] Each sensor bracket includes:

[0075] The bracket bottom A1 is fixed on the first bracket 62 or the second bracket 63;

[0076] The bracket mounting portion A2 is perpendicular to the bracket bottom A1, and the bracket mounting portion A2 and the bracket bottom A1 are L-shaped and integrally formed;

[0077] A mounting hole A3 and a U-shaped groove A4 are provided on the bracket mounting portion A2;

[0078] The base of the signal transmitting end 51 or the signal receiving end 52 is connected to the mounting hole A3 and the U-shaped groove A4 respectively by screws.

[0079] Specifically, in the above embodiment, the signal transmitting end 51 and the signal receiving end 52 are both fixed to the mounting bracket 6 through a sensor bracket; the signal transmitting end 51 is arranged at the front end of the first bracket 62 through a sensor bracket, and the signal receiving end 52 is arranged at the front end of the second bracket 63 through another sensor bracket, thereby realizing signal transmission and reception for detection operation.

[0080] The sensor bracket includes a bracket bottom A1 and a bracket mounting portion A2;

[0081] The bracket bottom A1 is parallel to the first bracket 62 or the second bracket 63 and is fixed to the first bracket 62 or the second bracket 63 by screws;

[0082] The bracket mounting portion A2 is perpendicular to the bracket bottom A1 to form an L shape, and the bracket bottom A1 and the bracket mounting portion A2 are integrally formed. In order to fix the signal transmitting end 51 or the signal receiving end 52, a mounting hole A3 is provided on the bracket mounting portion A2. The signal transmitting end 51 and the signal receiving end 52 are fixed to the bracket mounting portion A2 through the mounting hole A3, so that the signal transmitting end 51 is fixed to the front end of the lower surface of the first bracket 62 or the signal receiving end 52 is fixed to the front end of the upper surface of the second bracket 63;

[0083] Furthermore, a U-shaped groove A4 is provided on one side of the mounting hole A3, and the signal transmitting end 51 or the signal receiving end 52 can adjust the angle through the U-shaped groove A4 to adjust the transmitting angle and the receiving angle to a suitable position;

[0084] In the present invention, after adjustment, it is ensured that the irradiation surface of the light source is as large as possible, and the accuracy of detection is increased to ensure that the center point of the emitted and received light is always at the center of the wafer 3 to be detected in the wafer box 2.

[0085] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the optical fiber sensor further includes an optical fiber amplifier 7, which is fixed to the main bracket 61 through an optical fiber amplifier bracket and is located above the mounting plate 4;

[0086] The optical fiber amplifier 7 is electrically connected to the signal receiving end 52 .

[0087] Specifically, in the above embodiment, first, the optical fiber amplifier 7 is fixed to the main bracket 61 through the optical fiber amplifier bracket and is located above the mounting plate 4, thereby ensuring that the distance between the optical fiber amplifier 7 and the signal receiving end 52 is appropriate in order to obtain an accurate detection signal.

[0088] Secondly, the optical fiber amplifier 7 is connected to the signal receiving end 52. The signal receiving end 52 outputs a detection signal to the optical fiber amplifier 7 according to the situation of receiving the transmission signal. These detection signals reflect whether the wafer 3 is installed in the installation slot.

[0089] Next, according to the strength of the detection signal, the optical fiber sensor can determine whether the wafer 3 is installed at the position of the installation slot represented by the single detection signal.

[0090] If the detection signal strength is higher than the preset threshold, it indicates that there is no wafer 3 at the position; conversely, if the detection signal strength is lower than the preset threshold, it indicates that there is a wafer 3 installed at the position.

[0091] Finally, according to the results of all detection signals, the optical fiber sensor can calculate the number of wafers 3 and output the result.

[0092] In summary, the optical fiber sensor in the preferred embodiment of the present utility model can accurately detect the number of wafers 3 in the installation slot through the optical fiber amplifier 7 and the signal receiving end 52, and output the detection result.

[0104] The positioning sensor 12 is disposed above the comb plate 11 and is fixed to the main bracket 61 through a positioning sensor bracket.

[0105] Specifically, in the above embodiment, a position detection device is provided to determine the position of the wafer 3 being detected;

[0106] The position detection device includes a comb plate 11 and a positioning sensor 12, and each comb tooth on the comb plate 11 corresponds to a unique slot hole of the mounting slot;

[0107] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since there are 25 mounting grooves, there are also 25 comb teeth correspondingly provided. The comb teeth are 10 mm long and 1.5 mm wide; and the center distance between two comb teeth is the same as the center distance between two adjacent mounting grooves.

[0108] The positioning sensor 12 is arranged close to and directly above the comb teeth and fixed on the main bracket 61. The sensing position of the positioning sensor 12 will pass through each comb tooth to achieve the function of detecting the position.

[0109] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, it also includes:

[0110] The drag chain mounting bracket 13 is arranged at the lower end of the cylinder 9 and fixed on the main bracket 61;

[0112] Specifically, in the above embodiment, in order to make the wiring cleaner, a drag chain 14 is provided, and the drag chain 14 is used to gather the wiring of the signal transmitting end 51, the wiring of the signal receiving end 52, the wiring of the optical fiber amplifier 7, and the wiring of the positioning sensor 12;
