[0032] Working principle:
[0033] Rotation of the outer rotating ring 2: The outer rotating ring is connected to the fixed plate 1 through the outer rotating shaft sleeve 4. An interference fit is provided between the two outer rotating shaft sleeves and the outer rotating ring to prevent relative rotation and ensure stability. By adjusting the outer ring adjusting screw 9, pressure on the outer inclined surface 21 can be applied or released, thereby adjusting the angle of the outer rotating ring. The outer ring adjusting screw penetrates through the interior of the fixed plate and fits against the outer inclined surface of the outer rotating ring, and the angle adjustment is achieved by rotating the screw.
[0034] Rotation of the inner rotating ring 3: The inner rotating ring is connected to the outer rotating ring 2 through the inner rotating shaft 6. An interference fit is provided between the inner rotating shaft and the inner rotating ring to prevent relative rotation and ensure stability. By adjusting the inner ring adjusting screw 8, pressure on the inner inclined surface 31 can be applied or released, thereby adjusting the angle of the inner rotating ring. The inner ring adjusting screw penetrates into the interior of the outer rotating ring and fits against the inner inclined surface of the inner rotating ring, and the angle adjustment is achieved by rotating the screw.
[0035] Preliminary adjustment: First, the outer rotating ring 2 is subjected to preliminary angle adjustment through the outer ring adjusting screw 9. The pressure applied by the outer ring adjusting screw enables the outer rotating ring to perform a rough angle adjustment within a large range, ensuring the general direction and position of the workpiece.
[0036] Precise fine-tuning: Then, the inner rotating ring 3 is subjected to precise fine-tuning through the inner ring adjusting screw 8. The pressure applied by the inner ring adjusting screw enables the inner rotating ring to perform a fine angle adjustment within a small range, ensuring the precise positioning and angle control of the workpiece.
[0037] Multi-level adjustment: Through the multi-level adjustment of the outer rotating ring and the inner rotating ring, both a large-range preliminary angle adjustment can be achieved and high-precision fine adjustment can be carried out, meeting the strict requirements for angle control during the semiconductor wafer processing.
[0038] This planar angle fine-tuning mechanism is mainly used in the semiconductor wafer processing. Through the above structure and adjustment method, high-precision angle adjustment of the wafer can be achieved, ensuring the processing accuracy of key process steps such as lithography, etching, and deposition, and improving the quality and production efficiency of the final product.
