Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of round wafer cleaning equipment, in particular to a chuck fixture for round wafer cleaning. Background Art
[0002] A round wafer, also known as a wafer, refers to a silicon chip used to manufacture silicon semiconductor circuits. Its raw material is high-purity polycrystalline silicon, which is processed through a specific process to form cylindrical single-crystal silicon. This process involves dissolving high-purity polycrystalline silicon and doping it with seed crystals, and then slowly pulling it out to form single-crystal silicon. Next, the silicon crystal rod is ground, polished, and sliced to eventually form a round silicon wafer, or wafer. In the process of continuous processing, shaping, and polishing of the wafer, the wafer will produce contaminants due to contact with various organic matter, particles, and metals. Therefore, a wafer cleaning machine is required to clean the wafer, which is also an important process step in the wafer manufacturing process.
[0003] After searching, the patent document with publication number: CN220774330U discloses a wafer clamping mechanism for a wafer cleaning machine, which can clamp and support the wafer by utilizing the wafer clamping center support seat and the wafer clamping outer edge support column when the wafer cleaning machine is used to perform the wafer cleaning operation, thereby ensuring the stability of the wafer clamping and rotation adjustment; however, when the above device is in use, due to the clamping and fixing of a single wafer, multiple clamping structures are required to fix multiple wafers when cleaning them, wherein the back and forth fixing is cumbersome, and causes the clamping structures to be mixed together during cleaning, resulting in the outer wall of the clamping structure easily colliding with the outer wall of other wafers, thereby reducing the cleaning efficiency of the wafer.

The conical holes 9 facilitate the insertion of the vertical rods 8.
[0025] The outer wall of the top plate 6 is provided with a limiting mechanism, which includes two hollow rectangular blocks 10 . The outer walls of the two rectangular blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 6 .
