[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0023] Example: Reference Figure 1-5 The polishing device for wafer thinning shown in the figure comprises a base 1, a hydraulic cylinder, a polishing disc 9, an outer box body and a flipping mechanism. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the installation method of the base 1, the hydraulic cylinder, the outer box body and the flipping mechanism can refer to the technical content adopted in a semiconductor wafer backside polishing device disclosed in a Chinese patent with publication number CN220902890U in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. A movable groove is provided on the top of the base 1, and a first motor 3 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the movable groove. A movable rod 2 is installed on the output shaft of the first motor 3, and a circular plate 4 is installed on the top of the movable rod 2. A plurality of placing The number of placement platforms is even, and the two groups of placement platforms that are farthest apart are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center of the circular plate 4. A lifting block 5 is installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, and a second motor 6 is installed on the top of the lifting block 5. Two rotating holes are provided at the bottom of the lifting block 5, and rotating rods 7 are rotatably installed in the two rotating holes. The top of one of the rotating rods 7 is installed on the output shaft of the second motor 6, and the two rotating rods 7 are installed through a transmission mechanism. A lifting threaded hole is provided on the top of the other rotating rod 7, and a threaded rod 8 is threadedly installed on the lifting threaded hole. Polishing disks 9 are installed at the bottom ends of one of the rotating rods 7 and the threaded rod 8, and a fixing mechanism is provided on the lifting block 5.
[0024] By means of the above mechanism, when in use, the wafers are first placed on a plurality of placement tables in sequence, and then the first motor 3 is started. The output of the first motor 3 causes the movable rod 2 to rotate, and the rotation of the movable rod 2 causes the circular plate 4 to rotate, and the rotation of the circular plate 4 causes the placement table to move. When the placement table is aligned with one of the polishing discs 9, the first motor 3 stops outputting, and then the output of the hydraulic cylinder causes the lifting block 5 to descend, and the descent of the lifting block 5 causes the rotating rod 7 to descend, and the descent of the rotating rod 7 causes one of the polishing discs 9 to contact the wafer. At this time, the wafer is fixed by the fixing mechanism. When it is fixed, the second motor 6 is started, and the output of the second motor 6 causes the rotating rod 7 to rotate, and then the polishing process is performed. When one side is completed, the circular plate 4 is rotated, so that the other wafer is aligned. Polishing disk 9, at this time, the wafer with one side processed is aligned with the flipping mechanism, and then the polishing disk 9 grinds the wafer, and at the same time the flipping mechanism flips the wafer with one side processed, but when it is flipped, the circular plate 4 is rotated again to make the flipped wafer aligned with another polishing disk 9, and then one of the polishing disks 9 is made to contact with the new wafer, and then the threaded rod 8 is rotated again to make the other polishing disk 9 contact with the wafer with one side processed, and then the two polishing disks 9 are used to grind the wafer through the second motor 6 and the transmission mechanism, and then the new wafer and the wafer with one side processed are polished at the same time, so as to avoid waiting during flipping, and at the same time, through the setting of the circular plate 4, loading and unloading can be carried out during polishing, avoiding obstruction to polishing during loading.
[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing mechanism includes four fixing blocks 13 respectively installed on both sides of the lifting block 5, a third motor 14 is installed on the side of one of the fixing blocks 13, and a bidirectional screw rod 15 is installed on the sides of the two fixing blocks 13 on the same side for common rotation, one end of which is installed on the output shaft of the third motor 14, two threaded blocks 16 are threadedly sleeved on the two bidirectional screw rods 15, grooves are provided on the sides of the four threaded blocks 16, two sliding rods are installed on the relative inner walls of the four grooves, a slider is slidably sleeved on every two matching sliding rods, a clamping plate 19 is installed on the sides of the four sliders, and the two bidirectional screw rods 15 are installed in cooperation through a transmission unit. The advantage of such an arrangement is that two of the wafers can be easily fixed by the arrangement of the fixing block 13, the third motor 14, the bidirectional screw rod 15, the threaded block 16, the sliding rod, the slider and the clamping plate 19.
[0026] Specifically, the output of the third motor 14 will cause the two bidirectional screw rods 15 to rotate through the transmission unit. The rotation of the bidirectional screw rods 15 will cause the two threaded blocks 16 to approach each other. The movement of the threaded blocks 16 will cause the clamping plate 19 to move through the sliding rod and the slider, thereby fixing the chip. At this time, the lifting block 5 continues to descend, causing the threaded block 16 to descend. At this time, the sliding rod and the slider keep the clamping plate 19 in place, thereby fixing the chip.
[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmission unit includes sprockets 17 respectively installed on one end of two bidirectional screw rods 15, and chains 18 are installed on the two sprockets 17 in meshing relationship. The advantage of such an arrangement is that the two bidirectional screw rods 15 can rotate simultaneously through the arrangement of the sprockets 17 and the chain 18.
[0028] Specifically, when one of the two-way screw rods 15 rotates, one of the sprockets 17 will rotate, and the rotation of one of the sprockets 17 will rotate the other sprocket 17 through the chain 18, and the rotation of the other sprocket 17 will rotate the other two-way screw rod 15, so that the two two-way screw rods 15 rotate at the same time.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, guide rods are installed on the sides of the two fixed blocks 13, and guide rods are opened on the sides of the two threaded blocks 16. The two guide rods pass through the two guide holes in sequence. The advantage of this arrangement is that the threaded blocks 16 can move in the horizontal direction through the setting of the guide rods.
[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the transmission mechanism includes two transmission chambers opened on the lifting block 5, and the two rotating rods 7 are both sleeved with first bevel gears 10. The inner walls of the two transmission chambers that are close to each other are jointly provided with transmission holes, and a transmission rod 11 is rotatably installed on the transmission hole. The two ends of the transmission rod 11 that are away from each other are both installed with second bevel gears 12. The two first bevel gears 10 are respectively meshed with the two second bevel gears 12. The advantage of such an arrangement is that the two polishing discs 9 can rotate simultaneously through the arrangement of the first bevel gear 10, the transmission rod 11 and the second bevel gear 12.
[0031] Specifically, when one of the rotating rods 7 rotates, one of the first bevel gears 10 will rotate, and the rotation of one of the first bevel gears 10 will rotate one of the second bevel gears 12, and the rotation of one of the second bevel gears 12 will rotate the transmission rod 11, and the rotation of the transmission rod 11 will rotate the other second bevel gear 12, and the rotation of the other second bevel gear 12 will rotate the other first bevel gear 10, and the rotation of the other first bevel gear 10 will rotate the other rotating rod 7, so that the two rotating rods 7 rotate at the same time.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, a fixing threaded hole is opened on the outer wall of the peripheral side of one of the rotating rods 7, and a fixing bolt 20 is threadedly installed on the fixing threaded hole. The end of the fixing bolt 20 is tightly pressed against the threaded rod 8. The advantage of such an arrangement is that the threaded rod 8 can be easily fixed by the setting of the fixing bolt 20, so as to avoid the threaded rod 8 rotating itself during polishing and causing the polishing disk 9 to move.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a PLC controller 21 is installed on the side of the outer box body. The advantage of this arrangement is that the first motor 3, the second motor 6 and the third motor 6 can be easily controlled through the setting of the PLC controller 21.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
