Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of micro-jet laser processing, and particularly relates to a combined chuck tooling for micro-jet laser processing. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the manufacturing industry and the aviation industry, the requirements for the processing quality of scribing and chip modification of super-hard and brittle materials and semiconductor materials are getting higher and higher, thus putting forward higher requirements for processing technologies. The micro-jet laser processing technology cuts the workpiece to be processed by guiding the laser beam through a water jet. Since the refractive indices of water and air are different, when the laser beam irradiates the interface between water and air at a certain angle, if the incident angle of the laser beam is less than its total reflection critical angle, the laser beam will undergo total reflection and will not transmit through, so that the laser energy is confined in the pure water column and propagates along the direction of the pure water column. The pure water column carrying the laser beam reaches the surface of the workpiece to be processed, and the material is removed by laser burning. At the same time, the pure water column also plays a role in removing impurities on the surface of the workpiece to be processed and cooling the processing area.

[0003] Due to the advantages of small processing loss, high surface quality and high processing efficiency of the micro-jet laser processing technology, the requirements for the clamping tooling are also getting higher and higher. The wafer is a typical material processed by the micro-jet laser processing technology, with a thickness of about 500 microns and various diameter specifications. At present, the clamping of wafers is realized based on a surface adsorption structure, and a negative pressure is formed by the vacuum pressure acting on the entire surface of the wafer, so as to clamp and fix the wafer on the tooling.

[0004] However, when scribing and chip modifying the wafer, the cut part generates a notch on the surface adsorption structure, resulting in air leakage and suction change. During the micro-jet laser processing, the unstable vacuum suction force on the wafer will cause the wafer to be not firmly fixed, and the wafer will also shift under the impact of the pure water column, affecting the processing accuracy and quality, and even causing stress cracking of the wafer. In addition, due to the large number of wafer specifications, corresponding tooling needs to be set, which greatly increases the production cost of the tooling, and replacing the tooling will also bring processing errors. Therefore, a tooling that can adapt to various wafer specifications is needed to improve the fixing stability of the wafer, thereby improving the processing quality. Summary of the Utility Model

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a combined suction cup tooling for micro - jet laser processing, which is arranged on the processing table of the micro - jet laser processing equipment and includes: a suction cup base 1, a combined positioning ring 2, an adapter block 3, and a rotary slide table 4. The suction cup base 1 is connected to the rotary slide table 4 through the adapter block 3, and the rotary slide table 4 drives the suction cup base 1 and the adapter block 3 to rotate; a vacuum suction cup 11 is arranged in the middle of the suction cup base 1 for adsorbing and fixing the wafer to be processed; the combined positioning ring 2 is arranged on the suction cup base 1 and includes a plurality of positioning rings, and each positioning ring matches the positioning dimensions of a wafer of a certain specification to be processed.

[0030] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 a vacuum suction cup 11 is arranged in the middle of the suction cup base 1, and a plurality of support bosses 14 surround the vacuum suction cup 11 and are evenly arranged, and each support boss 14 extends from bottom to top.

[0031] Exemplarily, the vacuum chuck 11 includes a plurality of micro - suction holes. The diameter of the vacuum chuck 11 can be 20 mm, which can at least meet the adsorption and fixation requirements of a silicon carbide wafer with a diameter of 8 inches and a thickness of about 500 microns.

[0032] It should be noted that the vacuum chuck 11 is arranged in the middle of the chuck base 1. Since the adsorption and fixation position is a non - processing position (the wafer modification and scribing processes are generally carried out in the peripheral area), air leakage caused by processing interference at the adsorption position is avoided, and the suction force change caused by cutting during the processing is also avoided. At the same time, since micro - jet laser processing is used, the wafer surface will be subjected to the pressure of a pure water column. By setting the support boss 14 to provide support and positioning for the wafer to be processed, cracking of the wafer surface caused by the impact of the pure water column is avoided, and wafer offset can also be avoided.

[0033] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a circular fixing step 12 is provided on the chuck base 1. The circular fixing step 12 cooperates with the outermost positioning ring, and the outermost positioning ring is fixedly connected to the chuck base 1 by screws.

Among them, the outermost positioning ring is fixed to the chuck base 1 by screws. The diameter of its mounting ring surface 22 can be 10 inches, and the diameter of its positioning ring surface 21 can be 8 inches. Similarly, the diameters of the mounting ring surfaces 22 of the other two positioning rings are 8 inches and 6 inches respectively, and the diameters of the positioning ring surfaces 21 are 6 inches and 4 inches respectively, and two adjacent positioning rings are connected by screws. By disassembling the positioning rings, the limiting and positioning of wafers of different specifications are achieved.

[0041] Exemplarily, a quick-connect joint threaded hole is also provided in the middle of the chuck base 1. The quick-connect joint threaded hole is located on the back side of the vacuum chuck 11, and the quick-connect joint is fixed to the chuck base 1 through the quick-connect joint threaded hole.

[0042] Exemplarily, the external vacuum device can be a vacuum pump.

[0043] It should be noted that a quick-connect joint avoidance groove 31 is provided in the middle of the adapter block 3 to reserve space for the quick-connect joint, so that the vacuum chuck 11 can be connected to an external vacuum device through the quick-connect joint.

[0044] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, a number of fastening screw holes 13 are provided on the chuck base 1, and a number of fastening screw through holes 32 are provided on the adapter block 3.
