Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductors, and more particularly, to a wafer unloading device and a wafer packaging device. Background Art
[0002] As an important basic material in the field of semiconductors, wafers play an important role in promoting scientific and technological progress and industrial development. After all processes of semiconductor wafers are completed, the wafers need to be tested. After passing the wafer test (Circuit Probing, CP), the wafers need to be cut into die and then packaged. Before wafer cutting, the back side of the wafer needs to be pasted on an electronic-grade plastic film (commonly known as blue film) with a metal fixing ring on the edge, and then a high-speed rotating blade is used to cut along the designed cutting channels of the wafer. After the cut wafers are inspected for appearance quality, in order to save logistics freight costs, the blue film and the wafers are torn off from the metal fixing ring together, and then packaged and transported.
[0003] The process of tearing the blue film off the metal fixing ring requires an operator to hold the blue film with one hand and grab one end of the metal fixing ring and lift it up with the other hand. Poor cooperation between the two hands may cause quality problems such as chipping or die loss of the cut wafers, and direct contact with the blue film by hand may cause secondary contamination, resulting in very low production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] In order to overcome the above deficiencies in the prior art, the present application provides a wafer unloading device, which is characterized by including a pressing plate and a holding member.
[0005] The pressing plate includes a first plate surface and a second plate surface opposite to each other; a positioning wall extending in a direction away from the first plate surface is provided at the edge of the first plate surface.
[0006] The holding member is disposed on the second plate surface.
[0007] In a possible implementation manner, the holding member includes a fastening handle.
[0008] In a possible implementation manner, the fastening handle includes two connecting portions, and the two connecting portions are located at positions close to the edge of the second plate surface.
[0009] In a possible implementation manner, the shapes of the first plate surface and the second plate surface are circular.
[0010] In a possible implementation manner, a soft rubber pad fitting the positioning wall is further provided at the end of the positioning wall away from the first plate surface.
[0011] In a possible implementation manner, the soft rubber pad further includes at least two intermittently arranged sub-soft rubber pads that are attached to the positioning wall.
[0012] In a possible implementation manner, in a direction parallel to the first disk surface, the thickness of the positioning wall is less than or equal to the thickness of the soft rubber pad.
[0013] In a possible implementation manner, the soft rubber pad is detachably connected to the positioning wall.
[0014] On the other hand, the present application further provides a wafer packaging device, including a metal fixing ring and the aforementioned wafer unloading device; the diameter of the first disk surface is a first diameter, the inner diameter of the metal fixing ring is a second diameter, and the first diameter is less than the second diameter.
[0015] In a possible implementation manner, the wafer packaging device includes at least two metal fixing rings with different inner diameter sizes.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] A wafer unloading device provided by the present application includes a pressing disk and a holding member. When an operator unloads the fixing ring, the blue film pasted on the wafer is fixed through the positioning wall, then the holding member is held and the wafer unloading device is pressed on the blue film, and then the metal fixing ring on the blue film is torn off, reducing quality problems such as chipping or particle dropping of the cut wafer caused by improper cooperation of the left and right hand operations during the operation, and improving production efficiency.

[0035] A wafer unloading device 10 provided by the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the wafer unloading device 10 includes a pressing plate 100 and a holding member 200.
[0036] The pressing plate 100 includes opposite first and second plate surfaces 110 and 120; a positioning wall 130 extending in a direction away from the first plate surface 110 is provided at the edge of the first plate surface 110.
[0037] The holding member 200 is disposed on the second plate surface 120.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 3, before wafer dicing, the back side of the wafer 500 needs to be pasted on a blue film 400 with a metal fixing ring 300 at the edge, and then a high-speed rotating blade is used to cut along the designed dicing channels of the wafer 500. After the appearance quality of the diced wafer 500 is inspected, in order to save the logistics freight cost, the blue film 400 and the wafer 500 are torn off together from the metal fixing ring 300, and then packaged and transported.
[0039] In order to reduce quality problems such as chipping or grain dropping of the diced wafer 500 caused by improper cooperation between the left and right hands during the operation process, this embodiment provides a wafer unloading device 10. The positioning wall 130 is used to fix the blue film 400 to prevent damage to the wafer 500 caused by the movement of the blue film 400 during the wafer unloading process; the holding member 200 can evenly distribute the force of the hand on the edge of the wafer unloading device 10, facilitating subsequent wafer unloading operations.
[0040] For example, please refer to Figure 4 , when using the wafer unloading device 10 provided in this embodiment to tear the metal fixing ring 300, one hand covers the wafer with the wafer unloading device 10 and tightly holds the holding member 200, and the other hand grabs the metal fixing ring 300 and lifts it vertically to peel the blue film 400 from the metal fixing ring 300, completing the overall wafer unloading process.
[0041] In some possible implementation manners, the holding member 200 includes a fastening handle 210.
[0042] In some possible implementation manners, the fastening handle 210 includes two connecting portions 220, and the two connecting portions 220 are located at positions near the edge of the second disk surface 120.
[0043] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , the holding member 200 includes a fastening handle 210, the fastening handle 210 is provided with two connecting portions 220 and a holding portion, the holding portion is used to hold the wafer unloading device 10 by hand, and the connecting portion 220 is used to connect the fastening handle 210 to the pressing disk 100. In order to evenly distribute the force of the hand on the edge of the wafer unloading device 10 when the pressing disk 100 is pressed, the connecting portion 220 is located at a position near the edge of the second disk surface 120.
[0044] In some possible implementation manners, the shapes of the first disk surface 110 and the second disk surface 120 are circular.
[0045] Since the inner circles of the wafer and the metal fixing ring 300 are circular, in order to facilitate tearing the metal fixing ring 300, in this embodiment, please refer to again Figure 1, the first disk surface 110 and the second disk surface 120 are arranged to be circular.
[0046] In some possible implementation manners, a soft rubber pad 140 that fits with the positioning wall 130 is further provided at the end of the positioning wall 130 away from the first disk surface 110.
[0047] In this embodiment, in order to further reduce the possibility of the blue film 400 shifting during the film unloading process and prevent the positioning wall 130 from damaging the blue film 400 and the wafer 500, please refer to Figure 6 , a soft rubber pad 140 is further provided at the position where the positioning wall 130 fits with the blue film 400.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 7 , to prevent the soft rubber pad 140 from not fitting firmly with the positioning wall 130, this embodiment further provides a soft rubber pad 140 having a groove that fits with the positioning wall 130. For example, when using the wafer unloading device 10 provided in this embodiment, first fit the soft rubber pad 140 with the positioning wall 130, and then perform the film unloading operation.
[0049] In some possible implementation manners, the soft rubber pad 140 further includes at least two intermittently arranged sub-soft rubber pads 141 that fit with the positioning wall 130.

[0051] In some possible implementation manners, in the direction parallel to the first disk surface 110, the thickness of the positioning wall 130 is less than or equal to the thickness of the soft rubber pad 140.
[0052] In this embodiment, in order to enable the positioning wall 130 to be accurately positioned during use, in the direction parallel to the first disk surface 110, the thickness of the positioning wall 130 is less than or equal to the thickness of the soft rubber pad 140, and the orthographic projection of the positioning wall 130 on the first disk surface 110 should be covered by the orthographic projection of the soft rubber pad 140 on the first disk surface 110.
[0053] In some possible implementation manners, the soft rubber pad 140 is detachably connected to the positioning wall 130.
[0054] In this embodiment, since the soft rubber pad 140 will be worn after multiple uses and the soft rubber pad 140 needs to be replaced regularly, the soft rubber pad 140 is detachably connected to the positioning wall 130.
