Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wafer or package cutting, and specifically discloses a vacuum stabilizing device for a cutting disc. Background Art
[0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing process, on a single wafer, there are usually hundreds to thousands or even tens of thousands of chips. In order to perform operations such as pasting and bonding on individual chips in subsequent packaging, each chip in the wafer needs to be separated. Wafer cutting is an essential process in the manufacturing process. The purpose of cutting is to cut each independent chip on the entire wafer through a high-speed rotating blade to prepare for subsequent processes.
[0003] Currently, mechanical diamond cutting is the mainstream technology in the wafer cutting process. During the cutting process, a vacuum is required to fix the wafer on the cutting disc. There are many fine holes on the cutting disc to adsorb the product for accurate cutting. Since surfactants, pure water, etc. are needed to clean the cutting residues during the cutting process, during the cutting process, the cutting water enters the vacuum generator through the holes on the cutting disc. When a small amount of water enters the vacuum, the water will be discharged through the exhaust port; when the water inflow exceeds the processing capacity of the vacuum generator, water droplets or ice crystals (when the temperature is too low) may condense at the vacuum port, resulting in unstable vacuum, and in severe cases, it may cause batch scrapping.
[0004] After the cut wafer is divided into independent chips and processed into independent products according to the product model and function requirements, the same problem will also occur during the cutting of the product package. Once the vacuum is unstable, batch cutting abnormalities will occur. Summary of the Utility Model

[0031] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The specific embodiments described below only show the specific ways of using the embodiments, and are not used to limit the scope of the embodiments or claims.
[0032] First embodiment
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a feasible implementation mode. A vacuum stability device for a cutting disc includes a cutting disc 1, a first vacuum generator 2 and a water-vapor separation device 3.
[0034] The cutting disc 1 has a porous platform 11 and a vacuum chuck 12, and the vacuum chuck 12 is used to adsorb wafers or semiconductor products. The vacuum chuck 12 is sequentially connected to the water-vapor separation device 3 and the first vacuum generator 2 through pipelines.
[0035] Reference Figure 2, the first vacuum generator 2 is provided with a first air supply port 21, a first exhaust port 22, and a first negative pressure suction port 23, but not limited thereto. Inside the first vacuum generator 2, a first nozzle 24, a first negative pressure chamber 25, and a first receiving pipe 26 are sequentially arranged along the direction of compressed air flow; the first nozzle 24 is located at the first air supply port 21 end, and the inner diameter of the first nozzle 24 gradually contracts along the air flow direction and forms a nozzle at the end; the first negative pressure chamber 25 is connected to the first negative pressure suction port 23; the port of the first receiving pipe 26 is the first exhaust port 22. The first air supply port 21 is connected to a compressed air source, and the first negative pressure suction port 23 is connected to the water-air separation device 3. The first air supply port 21 sprays compressed air through the first nozzle 24 towards the first receiving pipe 26. When the air pressure at the first air supply port 21 is higher than a specific value, the first nozzle 24 emits a supersonic high-speed jet. Due to the viscosity of the gas, the high-speed jet entrains the gas in the first negative pressure chamber 25 and the first receiving pipe 26, causing a very high vacuum degree to be formed in the first negative pressure chamber 25 and the first receiving pipe 26. Then, the gas in the vacuum chuck 12 is sucked in through the first negative pressure suction port 23, mixed with the high-speed jet and flows out, providing a stable vacuum environment for the cutting disc 1. The water-air separation device 3 is connected between the cutting disc 1 and the first vacuum generator 2. The water-air separation device 3 has a container 31. The container 31 is provided with a water-air inlet 311, an exhaust port 312, and a drain port 313. The positions of the water-air inlet 311 and the exhaust port 312 are set higher than the position of the drain port 313; a liquid level display 33 is arranged on the outer side of the container 31; the water-air inlet 311 is connected to the vacuum chuck 12 through a pipeline, and the exhaust port 312 is connected to the first negative pressure suction port 23 of the first vacuum generator 2.
[0036] Second Embodiment
[0037] Reference Figure 3 , based on the first embodiment, this embodiment provides a feasible implementation. A vacuum stability device for a cutting disc includes a cutting disc 1, a first vacuum generator 2, a water-air separation device 3, and a second vacuum generator 4.
[0038] Reference Figure 4, the second vacuum generator 4 is provided with a second air supply port 41, a second exhaust port 42 and a second negative pressure suction port 43. The second air supply port 42 is connected to a compressed air source, and the second negative pressure suction port 43 is connected to the drain port 313 of the water-air separation device 3. Inside the second vacuum generator 4, a second nozzle 44, a second negative pressure chamber 45 and a second receiving pipe 46 are sequentially arranged along the flowing direction of the compressed air. The second nozzle 44 is located at the end of the second air supply port 41. The inner diameter of the second nozzle 44 gradually shrinks along the flowing direction of the air flow and forms a nozzle at the end. The second negative pressure chamber 45 is connected to the second negative pressure suction port 43. The port of the second receiving pipe 46 is the second exhaust port 42. The second air supply port 41 is connected to a compressed air source, and the second negative pressure suction port 43 is connected to the drain port 313 of the water-air separation device 3. The second air supply port 41 sprays the compressed air through the second nozzle 44 towards the second receiving pipe 46. When the air pressure at the second air supply port 41 is higher than a specific value, the second nozzle 44 ejects a supersonic high-speed jet. Due to the viscosity of the gas, the high-speed jet entrains the gas in the second negative pressure chamber 45 and the second receiving pipe 46, causing a very high vacuum degree to be formed in the second negative pressure chamber 45 and the second receiving pipe 46. The liquid in the container 31 of the water-air separation device 3 is sucked into the second negative pressure chamber 45 and is quickly discharged under the drive of the strong air flow.

The non-magnetic guide rod 321 is fixed to the container 31, and the top end of the non-magnetic guide rod 321 is connected to the limit mechanism 326. The alarm 324 is connected to the power supply 325 by the wire 323. The wire 323 has two connectors 3231, and the connectors 3231 are fixedly installed on the limit mechanism 326 and protrude from the bottom surface of the limit mechanism 326. The floating switch device 322 includes a float 3221 and a switch 3222. The float 3221 is slidably and cooperatively connected to the non-magnetic guide rod 321.

The vertical distance between the bottom surface of the connector 3231 and the extension line of the bottom edge of the exhaust port 312 is less than the height of the floating switch device 322.
[0042] When the solution in the container 31 rises, the floating switch device 322 moves upward along the non-magnetic guide rod 321 until the switch 3222 contacts the joint 3231, the circuit is turned on, and the alarm 324 emits an alarm reminder.
