[0068] In some embodiments, a silicon wafer production line is disclosed, including operations such as silicon wafer cutting, debonding, slicing, loading, cleaning, and drying.

[0069] Referring to Figure 1 , the silicon wafer production line includes a cutting station 11, a debonding station 17, a frame horizontal conveying station 12, a slicing and flipping station 13, a silicon wafer horizontal conveying station 14, an inserting station 15, and a cleaning and drying station 16.

[0070] The cutting station 11 completes the cutting of the silicon rod, the debonding station 17 completes the debonding separation of the crystal carrier and the silicon wafer, the frame horizontal conveying station 12 realizes the horizontal conveying of the frame 60, the slicing and flipping station 13 completes slicing and vertical loading and conveying, the silicon wafer horizontal conveying station 14 completes the horizontal conveying of the silicon wafer, the inserting station 15 completes the inserting of the silicon wafer, and the cleaning and drying station 16 completes the cleaning and drying of the silicon wafer.

[0072] A slicing device, such as a wire sawing machine, is provided on the cutting station 11. The slicing device is used to cut the silicon rod into silicon wafers. After the silicon rod is cut, the silicon wafers are pasted on the crystal carrier by a resin plate, and the crystal carrier together with the silicon wafers is loaded into the frame 60.

[0074] A frame conveying module 20 is provided on the frame horizontal conveying station 12, which is used to horizontally convey the frame 60 to the slicing and flipping station 13, that is, to convey the debonded silicon wafers to the next station.

[0075] On the wafer slicing and flipping station 13, there are a slicing module 30 and a flipping and conveying module 40. The slicing module 30 is used to slice the wafers in the wafer cassette 60 and convey the sliced wafers upward one by one in a vertical posture. The flipping and conveying module 40 is used to receive the wafers in a vertical posture conveyed by the slicing module 30 and flip the wafers from a vertical posture to a horizontal posture.

[0076] On the wafer horizontal conveying station 14, there is a horizontal conveying module 50, which is used to receive the wafers in a horizontal posture conveyed by the flipping and conveying module 40 and convey the wafers to the wafer inserting station 15 in a horizontal posture.

[0077] On the wafer inserting station 15, there is a wafer basket, which is used to insert the wafers conveyed by the horizontal conveying module 50.

[0078] On the cleaning and drying station 16, there is cleaning and drying equipment, which is used to clean and dry the inserted wafers.

[0079] This wafer production line realizes the full-process transfer automation of wafers, improving the reliability and efficiency of operations such as wafer transfer, slicing, loading, and inserting.

[0080] In some embodiments, the flipping and conveying module 40 includes a loading runner, and the loading runner is configured to flip the wafers in a vertical posture to a horizontal posture.

[0081] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2 to 6 , where Figure 2 is a structural diagram of a loading runner, Figure 3 is a structural diagram of the loading runner with the belt 700 omitted, Figure 3 is an exploded view of the loading runner, Figure 4 is a side view of the loading runner, Figure 5 is a sectional view of the loading runner, Figure 4 and Figure 5 omit components such as the motor 510.

[0082] The loading runner includes a fixed half runner 100 and a movable half runner 200 arranged oppositely. There is a distance between the fixed half runner 100 and the movable half runner 200 arranged oppositely, providing a displacement space for the relative movement between the two. The outer peripheral sides of the fixed half runner 100 and the movable half runner 200 are configured to sleeved with the belt 700.

[0083] For example, the fixed half runner 100 and the movable half runner 200 are arranged vertically opposite to each other, and the movable half runner 200 is arranged above the fixed half runner 100. The loading runner includes an elastic part 800, and the elastic part 800 is arranged between the fixed half runner 100 and the movable half runner 200. The elastic part 800 is configured to apply a force to the movable half runner 200 to make the movable half runner 200 move away from the fixed half runner 100.

[0084] The loading runner includes a flange 600, the flange 600 is fixedly connected to the fixed semi-runner 100, and the flange 600 is detachably connected to the movable semi-runner 200.

[0085] The loading runner includes an adjustment connection part 300, and the movable semi-runner 200 is connected to the flange 600 through the adjustment connection part 300. The adjustment connection part 300 is configured to allow relative movement between the fixed semi-runner 100 and the movable semi-runner 200 to adjust the outer diameter of the runner.

[0086] The loading runner includes a rotating shaft 400, and the rotating shaft 400 passes through the flange 600.

[0087] The loading runner includes a driving part 500, and the driving part 500 is configured to drive the flange 600 to rotate.

[0088] The surface of the belt 700 is specially processed so that the surface of the belt 700 has a certain water absorption and friction, and can adsorb the silicon wafer to be turned from a vertical posture to a horizontal posture.

[0089] When the loading runner works, the driving part 500 is started, the driving part 500 drives the flange 600 to rotate, the flange 600 drives the fixed semi-runner 100 and the movable semi-runner 200 to rotate synchronously. Since the elastic part 800 applies a force to the movable semi-runner 200 to make the movable semi-runner 200 move away from the fixed semi-runner 100, the belt 700 is tightened on the outer peripheral sides of the fixed semi-runner 100 and the movable semi-runner 200, driving the belt 700 to rotate synchronously, and the belt 700 adsorbs the silicon wafer to be turned from a vertical posture to a horizontal posture.

[0090] When removing the belt 700 from the loading runner, first release the fixed connection between the movable semi-runner 200 and the flange 600, make the movable semi-runner 200 move towards the direction close to the fixed semi-runner 100, the outer diameter of the loading runner decreases, and then fix the flange 600 and the movable semi-runner 200 through the adjustment connection part 300, and the relative positions of the fixed semi-runner 100 and the movable semi-runner 200 are fixed. At this time, the belt 700 can be removed from the loading runner.

[0091] When installing the belt 700 onto the loading runner, the fixed connection between the movable half runner 200 and the flange 600 is released, causing the movable half runner 200 to move towards the fixed half runner 100. The outer diameter of the loading runner decreases. Then, the flange 600 and the movable half runner 200 are fixed by adjusting the connecting part 300, fixing the relative positions of the fixed half runner 100 and the movable half runner 200. The belt 700 is sleeved around the outer circumferential sides of the movable half runner 200 and the fixed half runner 100. Then, the fixed connection between the movable half runner 200 and the flange 600 is released again. Under the elastic force of the elastic part 800, the movable half runner 200 moves away from the fixed half runner 100, increasing the outer diameter of the loading runner and tensioning the belt 700. Finally, the flange 600 and the movable half runner 200 are fixed by adjusting the connecting part 300.

[0092] For the silicon wafer loading runner of the present disclosure, an elastic part 800 is provided between the relatively arranged fixed half runner 100 and the movable half runner 200. The distance between the fixed half runner 100 and the movable half runner 200 is adjustable to adjust the outer diameter of the loading runner. When the movable half runner 200 moves towards the fixed half runner 100 under an external force, the outer peripheral contour of the loading runner changes from circular to oval, and at this time, the belt 700 can be easily removed from the loading runner. When the movable half runner 200 moves away from the fixed half runner 100 under the elastic force of the elastic part 800, the belt 700 is tensioned on the loading runner, realizing the rapid installation of the belt 700.

Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6, the loading runner includes two relatively arranged semi-runner groups 70, and a belt 700 is sleeved on any one of the semi-runner groups 70. The gap 960 between the two semi-runner groups 70 is used to provide an avoidance space for the horizontal conveying module 50, so that the wafers in a horizontal posture can be smoothly conveyed onto the horizontal conveying module 50.

[0096] The two flanges 600 in the two semi-runner groups 70 are fixed through a connecting rod 910, and the two semi-runner groups 70 share a driving part 500 to realize the synchronous rotation of the two semi-runner groups 70.

[0097] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 , a plurality of connecting rods 910 are arranged between the two opposite flanges 600 to improve the connection reliability between the two flanges 600.

[0112] For example, the sub-fixed half runner 110 is arranged below the sub-active half runner 210, and the guide groove 320 extends in the vertical direction.

[0113] When replacing the belt 700, first loosen the first locking member 310 to release the fixed connection between the flange 600 and the sub-movable half runner 210, so that the sub-movable half runner 210 moves towards the sub-fixed half runner 110. The outer peripheral contour of the loading runner changes from circular to elliptical. Then lock the first locking member 310 to stop the sub-fixed half runner 110 and the sub-movable half runner 210 in this position state. At this time, the old belt 700 can be easily removed from the loading runner.

[0114] Then, put the new belt 700 on the outer peripheral sides of the sub-fixed half runner 110 and the sub-movable half runner 210, and loosen the first locking member 310. At this time, the sub-movable half runner 210 moves away from the sub-fixed half runner 110 under the action of the elastic part 800 to tighten the belt 700. Then lock the first locking member 310, and the installation of the new belt 700 is completed.

[0117] For example, the sub-fixed half runner 110 is arranged below the sub-movable half runner 210, and the first sub-guiding part 330 and the second sub-guiding part 340 slide relative to each other in the vertical direction.

[0118] The sliding connection between the first sub-guiding part 330 and the second sub-guiding part 340 guides the movement of the movable half runner 200 and improves the movement reliability of the movable half runner 200.

[0119] In some embodiments, one of the first sub-guiding part 330 and the second sub-guiding part 340 is a positioning groove, and the other is a positioning post. The positioning post moves along the positioning groove, and the positioning groove extends along the relative movement direction of the fixed half runner 100 and the movable half runner 200.

[0120] For example, referring to Figure 8 , the first sub-guiding part 330 is a positioning groove, and the positioning groove is provided on the flange 600. Referring to Figure 9, the second sub-guide portion 340 is a positioning post, and positioning posts are provided on the sub-movable half runner 210.

[0121] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , the sub-fixed half runner 110 and the flange 600 are fixedly connected through a second locking member 950. For example, the second locking member 950 is a screw. Referring to Figure 8 , the flange 600 is provided with a second through hole 610 for the second locking member 950 to pass through. Referring to Figure 11 , the sub-fixed half runner 110 is provided with a third through hole 130 for the second locking member 950 to pass through.

[0122] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 , the flange 600 is provided with a positioning hole 620. Referring to Figure 11 , the sub-fixed half runner 110 is provided with a positioning post 120. The positioning post 120 is inserted into the positioning hole 620, which plays a role in pre-installation positioning for the connection between the flange 600 and the sub-fixed half runner 110.

A second pulley 530 is fixedly provided on the flange 600. A timing belt 540 is provided between the first pulley 520 and the second pulley 530.

[0124] When the motor 510 is started, it drives the first pulley 520 to rotate, drives the second pulley 530 to rotate through the timing belt 540, and the second pulley 530 drives the flange 600 to rotate. Since the fixed half runner 100 and the movable half runner 200 are both connected to the flange 600, the rotation of the belt 700 can be realized.

[0125] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , the driving portion 500 is located on one side of the loading runner. That is, the driving portion 500 is located at the side of one of the half runner groups 70.
