Description
Technical Field

[0002] Wafer refers to the silicon wafer used to make silicon semiconductor circuits. Its raw material is silicon. High-purity polysilicon is dissolved and doped with silicon crystal seeds, and then slowly pulled out to form cylindrical single crystal silicon. After grinding, polishing and slicing, the silicon crystal rod is formed into a silicon wafer, also known as a wafer.
[0003] During the production process, wafers need to be filmed to protect the circuit structure on them and to protect the wafer surface from damage and contamination. The filming of wafers is mostly done manually, and manual filming can easily damage and contaminate the wafer. Mechanical filming is also used, and a rubber-coated roller is used to film the wafer in a vacuum environment. If the roller filming pressure is not well controlled, it will damage the product and bubbles will be generated due to poor pasting; in addition, the product surface may contain sensitive areas, and if it contacts the carrier, the product will be directly defective. The vacuum device for wafer filming disclosed by patent publication number CN218849428U, although it uses vacuum pressure difference to achieve wafer filming, its non-contact filming only avoids the pressure of the rubber-coated roller, and the wafer and the wafer adsorption table are in contact, and it still contacts the wafer itself, which is easy to touch the sensitive area of the wafer and cause physical damage to the wafer.
