Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to semiconductor production equipment, in particular to a semiconductor equipment embedded sorting machine lead-out fixture. Background Art

[0002] Wafer sorting equipment can realize the functions of wafer loading and unloading, pre-process batching, post-process merging, and inter-process wafer flipping. Through the cooperation of Loadport, robotic arm and pre-aligner, it can realize the sorting operation of wafers of different models, and improve the automation level of semiconductor manufacturing process while ensuring high cleanliness. The three-dimensional warehouse (Stocker) is an automatic storage device in semiconductor factories. It has multi-layer storage space and is designed for semiconductor wafer factories. Its function is to automatically store, extract and transmit wafer boxes of various specifications to realize the flow of wafers between different processes.

[0003] Normally, the wafer cassettes between the Sorter and the Stocker need to be transported by an overhead crane (OHT) or an automatic guided vehicle (AGV). In order to improve the efficiency of storage circulation, the embedded Sorter came into being. Due to the particularity of semiconductors, the production and manufacturing environment requires extremely high cleanliness requirements, not only during the production and manufacturing process, but also during equipment maintenance and overhaul. Therefore, the simple and easy-to-use Sorter lead-out fixture can not only improve the maintenance and overhaul efficiency of the Sorter, but also avoid the generation of particles that cause environmental pollution during the maintenance process.

[0004] For example Figure 1 , Figure 2 The lead-out fixture shown embeds the Loadport on the Sorter directly into the Stocker, and the wafer boxes are directly transported by the Stocker's stacker (Crane), eliminating the need for overhead cranes or automatic guided vehicles, thereby improving storage and circulation efficiency. At the same time, since the wafer boxes are circulated inside the Stocker, the probability of contamination of the wafer boxes is reduced, ensuring high cleanliness requirements. However, this lead-out fixture adopts a combined structure of a circulating chain A + a directional wheel B, which has poor accuracy and requires recalibration of the position after movement. It is also heavy, inconvenient to install, and has high production costs. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the structure of this lead-out fixture to overcome the above-mentioned defects.
