Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wafer etching equipment, in particular to a rotating bracket and a rotating etching table. Background Art
[0002] The wafer rotary etching table is the main equipment for wafer etching. The wafer is supported by a rotating bracket, which drives the wafer to rotate. The bracket drives the wafer to rotate from low speed to high speed through the central rotating axis according to the set program. The purpose is to allow the colloidal liquid above the wafer to drip onto the wafer and form a uniform film on the surface, or to spray the cleaning liquid onto the wafer and then dry it under the centrifugal action of high-speed rotation.
[0003] The wafer used for chip manufacturing is not a complete circle. For wafers with a diameter of 150mm or less, one or two positioning edges in different positions are given on the edge to distinguish the crystal orientation and the conductive type. Depending on the crystal orientation and conductive type, some wafers have only one main positioning edge, and some have another secondary positioning edge in different directions in addition to the main positioning edge. The length of the main positioning edge is almost one-third of the wafer diameter.
[0004] When a rotating bracket with an existing structure is used to position the wafer of the above structure, the position of the positioning edge of the wafer when it is sent into the bracket is random. If its positioning edge is just "close to" a limit pin, the wafer has more "freedom" in the bracket, so there is some distance between the center of the wafer and the rotation center of the bracket. If the wafer is too eccentric, there is a certain risk when the bracket rotates at high speed. In severe cases, there is a problem that the wafer is easily thrown out of the bracket.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of different terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances, and the scope of the specific meaning should be limited to realizing the functions of this application.
[0027] Embodiment 1
[0028] A rotating bracket includes: a frame body 1 and a limiting assembly 2, wherein the frame body 1 includes a first limiting edge 101 and a second limiting edge 102, and the limiting assembly 2 includes a first limiting piece 201 and a second limiting piece 202. A first limiting piece 201 is respectively arranged at both ends of the first limiting edge 101 and the second limiting edge 102, and the first limiting edge 101 or the second limiting edge 102, or the first limiting edge 101 and the second limiting edge 102 are configured with at least one second limiting piece 202, and the second limiting piece 202 is located between the first limiting pieces 201, and the first limiting piece 201 and the second limiting piece 202 are located on the same circumference.
[0029] Specifically, the first limiting member 201 and the second limiting member 202 both use the same screws or bolts, and threaded holes are provided on the surfaces of the first limiting edge 101 and the second limiting edge 102. The first limiting member 201 and the second limiting member 202 are threadedly connected in the corresponding threaded holes. The use of bolts and screws is low-cost, easy to obtain and assemble.
[0030] Specifically, the frame 1 also includes a first supporting edge 103 and a second supporting edge 104, one end of the first limiting edge 101 and the second limiting edge 102 are connected through the first supporting edge 103, and the other end of the first limiting edge 101 and the second limiting edge 102 are connected through the second supporting edge 104, and the surfaces of the first supporting edge 103 and the second supporting edge 104 have a boss 105, and the boss 105 is used to support the wafer, and the first limiting edge 101 and the second limiting edge 102 are connected into a complete structure through the first supporting edge 103 and the second supporting edge 104, and the wafer is lifted off the surface of the first supporting edge 103 and the second supporting edge 104 by the boss 105.
[0031] Specifically, the frame 1 also includes a connecting edge 106, which is connected between the first supporting edge 103 and the second supporting edge 104. The lower surface of the connecting edge 106 has a sleeve 107, and the sleeve 107 is provided with a hole body 108 connected to the rotating axis of the corrosion table. The outer periphery of the sleeve 107 is also provided with a locking screw hole 109 connected to the hole body 108, and the locking screw hole 109 is used to connect the positioning bolt, wherein the hole body 108 is a square hole, and the locking screw hole 109 is a threaded hole or a smooth hole. When a threaded hole is used, the positioning bolt is threadedly connected to the threaded hole and presses the side of the rotating axis, thereby connecting the frame 1 to the rotating axis. When a smooth hole is used, the threaded end of the positioning bolt passes through the smooth hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole opened on the surface of the rotating axis, thereby connecting the frame 1 to the rotating axis. By designing the sleeve 107, the frame 1 can be stably connected to the corrosion table.
[0032] Specifically, a first weight-reducing hole 110 is formed between the first limiting edge 101 and the first supporting edge 103, the second supporting edge 104 and the connecting edge 106; a second weight-reducing hole 111 is formed between the second limiting edge 102 and the first supporting edge 103, the second supporting edge 104 and the connecting edge 106. The weight of the frame 1 is reduced by the design of the first weight-reducing hole 110 and the second weight-reducing hole 111.
[0033] Specifically, the first limiting edge 101 and the second limiting edge 102 are both configured with two second limiting members 202 . The limiting of the wafer is further improved by the plurality of second limiting members 202 , thereby improving the stability of the wafer movement.
[0034] Specifically, the first limiting member 201 of the first limiting edge 101 and the first limiting member 201 of the second limiting edge 102 are symmetrical structures with the axis of the hole body 108 as the center; the second limiting member 202 of the first limiting edge 101 and the second limiting member 202 of the second limiting edge 102 are symmetrical structures with the axis of the hole body 108 as the center, and the stability of the second limiting member 202 in limiting the wafer is improved through the symmetrical structure.
[0035] Specifically, the diameter of the inscribed circle at the inner edge of the first limit member 201 and the second limit member 202 is larger than the corresponding wafer diameter by c, 1.5mm≤c≤2.5mm. In this embodiment, c=2mm. Taking 5 inches (actually 4.9 inches, referred to as 5 inches in the industry) and 6 inches (actually 5.9 inches, referred to as 6 inches in the industry) as examples, the diameter of the 5-inch wafer is 125mm, then the diameter of the inscribed circle is 127mm, the diameter of the 6-inch wafer is 150mm, then the diameter of the inscribed circle is 152mm. By making the inscribed circle diameter larger than the wafer diameter, the wafer has a certain degree of freedom of movement.
[0036] Specifically, the frame 1, the first connecting member, and the second connecting member are all made of corrosion-resistant materials, specifically corrosion-resistant plastics, so as to avoid corrosion of the frame 1, the first connecting member, and the second connecting member during the process of corroding the wafer.
[0037] Now, the use of the first limiting member 201 alone and the use of the first limiting member 201 and the second limiting member 202 together are described as an example. Figure 2 As shown, four first limiting members 201 are used to limit the wafer. Figure 3 As shown, four first limiting members 201 and four second limiting members 202 are used to limit the wafer at the same time. Figure 4As shown, the above two limiting states are superimposed and displayed on the same figure for illustration. It can be seen that the first limiting member 201 and the second limiting member 202 are used simultaneously to limit the wafer, so that the center of the wafer is closer to the rotation center of the frame 1. Therefore, on the basis of the wafer having a certain degree of freedom of movement, it also has a better positioning function, thereby reducing the probability of the wafer being thrown out.
