Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thinning and polishing mechanisms, in particular to a wafer thinning and polishing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor wafers are the basic materials for manufacturing semiconductor devices. They are usually thin round slices made of silicon or other semiconductor materials. Wafers undergo a series of processing steps, such as doping, photolithography and etching, to form the required semiconductor devices, such as transistors, diodes and integrated circuits. In the semiconductor processing industry, during the preparation and processing of wafers, wafers usually need to be thinned and polished. The thinning process can thin the wafer to a certain thickness, and the polishing process can remove the damaged layer on the surface of the thinned wafer and improve the workpiece yield.

[0003] In the prior art, during the thinning and polishing process of the wafer, the wafer is usually fixed by clamping or tightening. Excessive clamping force may cause the wafer to break. After the equipment has been used for a long time, the polishing plate may be damaged. The existing grinder is inconvenient to replace the polishing plate, and the wafer needs to be cleaned after thinning and polishing. The existing thinning and polishing mechanism cannot clean the wafer, nor can it collect and reuse the wafer debris after polishing. Therefore, a wafer thinning and polishing mechanism is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
