Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wafer doping, in particular to a wafer doping processing device. Background Art
[0002] Doping is the process of adding a certain amount of impurities into semiconductor materials in order to change the electrical properties of semiconductor materials and obtain the desired electrical parameters. We often hear that certain performance can be optimized by improving the doping concentration somewhere. The main methods of doping are diffusion and ion implantation. Both methods are useful in discrete devices or integrated circuits, and the two can be said to be complementary. For example, diffusion can be used to form deep junctions, and ion implantation can form shallow junctions. After searching, the prior art (publication number: CN216074098U) records "a batch doping device for AlN wafers, which includes at least one container and a porous specimen carrier matched with each container; the porous specimen carrier adopts a densely and regularly arranged opening design; the device also includes a pressure cover and a cover sheet; one or more evenly arranged grooves are arranged at the bottom of the container for placing doping substances; the inner wall of the container is provided with a loading step, the loading step includes a step surface, the porous specimen carrier is placed on the step surface, and the container is divided into two upper and lower spaces; the aluminum nitride wafer to be doped is placed on the porous specimen carrier; the outer wall of the container is provided with a positioning step for overlapping and combining multiple layers of containers in pairs; the cover sheet is overlapped on the upper edge of the topmost container, and the pressure cover is covered on the cover sheet. The device can achieve uniform diffusion and doping, simultaneous doping of multiple elements, and simultaneous batch doping."

At the same time, when taking out the materials, they also need to be removed layer by layer, which is more troublesome and there is a risk of touching dirt. Utility Model Content

[0022] It should be noted that the doping method involved in the present application is similar to the principle of the liquid source method in the prior art. The main difference lies in the combination method of the chip and the dopant. In the prior art, the dopant is made to flow in the quartz tube to achieve contact with the chip in the quartz tube, while in the present application, a spray contact method is adopted to achieve single-time multi-purpose contact and improve the doping efficiency.
[0023] Specifically, the moving position of the manipulator 5 is determined by the host setting program on the outside, and the pulling position of the pull-out plate 31 is determined by the mark on the outside of the slide bar 32, thereby ensuring that the suction cup assembly 51 can absorb and pick up materials under the setting program of the manipulator 5.
[0024] Specifically, a liquid impurity source is provided in the liquid storage tank 6 , and is pumped to the spray assembly 2 through an outer pump body.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, electric heating plates are provided inside the upper and lower sides of the electric heating furnace 1, and an exhaust pipe 11 is connected to one side wall of the electric heating furnace 1, and the exhaust pipe 11 is located on the upper side of the spray assembly 2, and the spray assembly 2 includes a spray pipe 21 horizontally placed inside the electric heating furnace 1, and the lower end of the spray pipe 21 is connected to a longitudinal branch pipe 22, and the lower end of the branch pipe 22 is connected to a nozzle 23.

[0028] Specifically, a through hole is provided on the lower side of the porous carrier plate, and the through hole passes through the pull-out plate 31, so that after the liquid impurity source enters the placement groove 35 and contacts and reacts with the wafer, the remaining liquid can flow downward into the collection groove plate 4 and then be discharged outward.

[0030] When in use, open the front cover of the electric heating furnace, pull out the pull-out plate through the handle, then place the wafer to be doped in the placement slot, reset the pull-out plate, close the front cover, start the electric heating furnace for heating, and at the same time pump the liquid from the storage tank into the spray pipe and branch pipe included in the spray assembly through the infusion tube, and finally spray it to each wafer in the placement slot through the nozzle, so that the wafer is completely immersed in the liquid impurity source package in the liquid, and then the impurity source penetrates into the wafer under the combined action of heating and intervening gas. When taking the material, open the front cover of the electric heating furnace, and then pull open the pull-out plate through the handle, so that the wafer in the placement slot is completely exposed to the outside of the electric heating furnace, and then start the manipulator, and through the control program set by the host, drive the suction cup assembly to move to the upper side of the placement slot, so as to facilitate the adsorption and removal of the wafer from the placement slot.
[0031] The chip doping processing equipment of the utility model can effectively solve the problem that the existing batch doping devices for chips need to lay down layers of doping materials, which not only reduces the processing efficiency but also causes pollution. It simplifies the operation process, improves the processing efficiency and avoids manual contact pollution on the basis of the existing chip doping processing equipment technology.
