[0002] Silicon wafers are important raw materials for manufacturing chips and various semiconductor devices. When they are diced, a positioning device is required. The positioning device is mainly used to ensure that the battery can be accurately positioned after clamping for precise processing. It is generally mechanical. The process of separating each chip with independent electrical properties is called dicing.

[0003] A patent document with publication number CN213617668U in the prior art provides a dicing machine for a semiconductor fixture. The device moves the extrusion plate downward to squeeze the spring and drive the connecting rod to move. The connecting rod moves downward to drive the positioning plate to move downward through the connecting hole and the moving hole to move into the circular groove. The push rod is then rotated to drive the positioning plate to rotate in the circular groove, thereby limiting the position of the semiconductor plate and improving convenience.

[0004] Although the device has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: first, the device cannot adapt to silicon wafers of different sizes during use, and the clamping effect is not good enough; second, the device does not adsorb the silicon wafer during use, resulting in insufficient stability, which needs to be improved. In view of this, we propose a positioning fixture for silicon wafer dicing. Utility Model Content

[0027] See also Figure 1-5 ,The utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] A positioning fixture for silicon wafer dicing includes a bottom plate 1, two slide grooves 2 are provided on the top of the bottom plate 1, a clamping assembly 3 is rotatably connected inside the two slide grooves 2, the clamping assembly 3 includes a lead screw 301, a worm wheel 302 is fixedly provided in the middle of the circumferential outer wall of the lead screw 301, a worm 303 is meshed with the worm wheel 302, a knob 304 is fixedly provided at one end of the worm 303, a slider 305 is threadedly connected at both ends of the lead screw 301, a limiting rod 306 is fixedly provided on the top of the two sliders 305, a protective pad 307 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of one end of the two limiting rods 306, a plurality of support columns 4 are fixedly provided on the top of the bottom plate 1, and an adsorption assembly 5 is fixedly provided on the top of the support column 4. The utility model manually turns the knob 304 to rotate the worm 303 to drive the worm wheel 302 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 305 threadedly connected to the lead screw 301 to move, and then the two limiting rods 306 are contracted to clamp the silicon wafer, so as to adapt to silicon wafers of different sizes.

[0029] Specifically, a screw rod 308 is threadedly connected to the bottom of one end of the limiting rod 306, a clamping rod 309 is fixedly provided at the top of the screw rod 308 through the limiting rod 306, and a clamping plate 310 is fixedly provided at the bottom of one side of the clamping rod 309. The clamping rod 309 is lowered by manually rotating the screw rod 308, so that the clamping plate 310 contacts the top edge of the silicon wafer, thereby improving the clamping effect.

[0030] Furthermore, the adsorption assembly 5 includes a vacuum plate 501, a plurality of vacuum suction cups 502 are embedded on the top of the vacuum plate 501, a vacuum pump 503 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the vacuum plate 501, a pipe 504 connected to the inside of the vacuum plate 501 is fixedly installed at the output end of the vacuum pump 503, and the vacuum pump 503 is electrically connected to an external power supply.

Manually rotate the screw 308 to lower the clamping rod 309, so that the clamping plate 310 contacts the top edge of the silicon wafer to improve the clamping effect. The protective pad 307 made of nitrile rubber and the clamping plate 310 made of vulcanized rubber protect the silicon wafer from wear. Turn on the vacuum pump 503 switch to allow the vacuum pump 503 to extract the internal gas of the vacuum plate 501, so that the vacuum suction cup 502 forms a vacuum on the contact surface with the silicon wafer, thereby improving the adsorption effect and enhancing the stability of the silicon wafer during slicing.
