Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of alarm devices, in particular to a wafer position deviation detection alarm device. Background Art

[0002] During the processing process, the wafer needs to be transferred between various devices. For example, when identifying and detecting the notch of the wafer, the wafer will be transferred from a set of processing equipment to the detection equipment through mechanical devices such as robotic arms. Then the detection camera at the detection equipment will detect the accuracy of the wafer transfer position by the connection position between the wafer notch and the positioning rod.

[0003] Currently, a buzzer is set at the detection equipment. When the connection position between the wafer notch and the positioning rod after transfer deviates, the detection camera can activate the buzzer electrically connected to it, causing the buzzer to alarm so that the staff can adjust the wafer position in time.

[0004] When the wafer transfer is controlled by a robotic arm, when the robotic arm and the wafer are disconnected, the wafer will move down a short distance under the action of gravity. During the downward movement of the wafer, it is affected by the external environment, such as the air flow rate and the force generated by the collision between the wafer and the detection equipment, which will cause a position deviation between the wafer and the positioning rod of the detection equipment. However, when the deviation between the wafer and the positioning rod is small or the detection camera is damaged, it will affect the timeliness of the alarm device's alarm. To address the above problems, we propose a wafer position offset detection alarm device. Utility Model Content
