Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wafer processing, and in particular relates to a wafer turning device. Background Art
[0002] During the wafer processing process, since different processes have different processing angles for the wafer, the wafer needs to be rotated to meet the processing angle.
[0003] Currently, a flipping device is required to rotate the wafer. The flipping device clamps the wafer through a clamping mechanism. Some clamping mechanisms clamp the side of the wafer.

Some clamping mechanisms clamp the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer. The sides of the wafer are not protected and are easily damaged after being subjected to external force.

The output end of the driving member 34 is provided with a screw rod 341, and the outer periphery of the screw rod 341 is threadedly connected to a connecting plate 3221, and the clamping mechanism 3 includes two symmetrical clamping arms 32, and a clamping groove 321 is opened in the clamping arm 32. A driving member 34 is installed on the clamping arm 32, and the driving member 34 can be a micro motor. The output end of the driving member 34 is provided with a screw rod 341, and the outer periphery of the screw rod 341 is threadedly connected to a connecting plate 3221. A through hole 325 is provided on the holding arm 32, and the connecting plate 3221 extends into the clamping groove 321. An upper clamping plate 322 is fixed on the connecting plate 3221, and the upper clamping plate 322 is located in the clamping groove 321. When clamping the wafer, the clamping arm 32 is first used to initially clamp and limit the side of the wafer, and the side of the wafer is protected at the same time. Then, the driving member 34 is started to rotate the screw rod 341, so that the upper clamping plate 322 is driven by the connecting plate 3221 to move and clamp the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer, so as to achieve the purpose of clamping the wafer. In this way, the clamping can improve the clamping stability by clamping up, down, left and right, and it is not easy to damage the wafer.
[0028] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 3 also includes a mounting plate 31, which is mounted on the rotating mechanism 2, and a driving member 33 is mounted on the mounting plate 31, which can be a motor, and a bidirectional screw rod 331 is provided at the output end of the driving member 33, and a clamping arm 32 is symmetrically threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the bidirectional screw rod 331, and a slide plate 35 is provided at one end of the clamping arm 32, and a slide groove 311 is correspondingly opened on the mounting plate 31, and the slide plate 35 is slidably installed in the slide groove 311, and the bidirectional screw rod 331 is rotated by starting the driving member 33, so that the two clamping arms 32 move toward the middle to clamp the wafer, and during the movement, the slide plate 35 moves in the slide groove 311 to improve the stability of the movement of the clamping arm 32, thereby improving the stability of the clamping arm 32 when clamping;
[0029] Furthermore, a gasket 323 is provided at the bottom of the upper clamping plate 322 and the top of the clamping groove 321, and the gasket 323 plays a protective role when clamping the wafer;
[0030] Furthermore, a buffer pad 324 is provided inside the clamping groove 321 , and the buffer pad 324 effectively prevents the clamping arm 32 from clamping the side of the wafer with great force and causing damage.

The telescopic member 41 is installed in the active cavity 11, and a support plate 42 is provided at the output end of the telescopic member 41. The diameter of the support plate 42 is smaller than the diameter of the wafer. When the wafer needs to be clamped, the wafer is placed at the center of the active cavity 11, and then the telescopic member 41 is started to make the support plate 42 lift the wafer until it moves to the vicinity of the clamping mechanism 3, so as to facilitate the clamping mechanism 3 to clamp the wafer;
[0033] Furthermore, a telescopic part 25 is symmetrically installed on the base 1. The telescopic part 25 is a cylinder. An arc plate 6 is provided at the output end of the telescopic part 25.
