Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of semiconductor packaging, in particular to the field of wafer grinding technology, and specifically relates to a wafer ring fixing device for a new grinding device. Background Art

[0002] In the grinding process in the field of semiconductor packaging, a wafer ring is used to fix the ground wafer. For a fully automatic grinding machine, there is a special wafer ring fixing system for storing and feeding the wafer ring.

[0003] Due to the stacking of wafer rings, the weight is relatively large. The original wafer ring fixing system of the equipment uses screws and welding for treatment, and the brackets often become loose.

[0045] The present utility model provides a wafer ring fixing device for a new grinding equipment, which is used in the grinding process of the semiconductor packaging field. The present utility model does not limit the type of wafers, but the structure of the wafer ring fixing device of the new grinding equipment is particularly suitable for the wafers after grinding.

[0046] Generally speaking, the wafer ring fixing device for the new grinding equipment proposed by the present utility model mainly includes a base 1, a first fixing module 2, a second fixing module 3, a limiting module 4 and an opposed sensor 5. Among them, reference can be made to Figure 1 , which shows the layout relationship of the base 1, the first fixing module 2, the second fixing module 3, the limiting module 4 and the opposed sensor 5.

[0047] For the purpose of improving and enhancing the stability of the fixing bracket, to solve the problems in the background technology that due to the stacking of wafer rings with a relatively large weight, the original wafer ring fixing system of the equipment used screws and welding for treatment, and the bracket often became loose. After becoming loose, the position accuracy of the wafer rings decreased, resulting in more alarms when the wafer rings were put in; in addition, when the wafer rings were put in, multiple wafer rings were often put in at one time. However, the existing wafer ring fixing system only had presence or absence detection, and detected whether a wafer ring was grabbed through the vacuum state of the wafer ring grasping arm. Due to the adhesion between wafer rings, it caused relatively large quality hidden dangers to the subsequent production process, resulting in quality problems and mechanical damage to the equipment. Therefore, in the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the stable installation with the base 1 is achieved through the first fixing module 2 and the second fixing module 3, and the fit between structures is realized by using the mortise and tenon structure to ensure the installation accuracy, firmness and durability of the bracket, and at the same time, sensors are used to avoid the quality and safety hidden dangers caused by the one-time input of multiple wafer rings.

[0048] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the base 1 is installed on the grinding equipment. A pair of first fixing modules 2 and a pair of second fixing modules 3 are installed on the base 1. They are relatively and symmetrically arranged in pairs, and the connection line of the pair of second fixing modules 3 is perpendicular to the connection line of the pair of first fixing modules 2.

[0049] In order to achieve the installation of the wafer rings, in the overall layout, the first fixing module 2 and the second fixing module 3 are arranged at equal intervals and with intervals, and along the clockwise direction, an annular structure for installing the wafer rings is formed by the first fixing module 2 and the second fixing module 3; in addition, the heights of the first fixing module 2 and the second fixing module 3 are both higher than the top after the final installation of multiple wafer rings.

[0050] As described above, in this embodiment, the structures inside the first fixing module 2 and the second fixing module 3 both adopt mortise and tenon structures to achieve the fit between structures. For this purpose, each of the first fixing module 2 and the second fixing module 3 includes a base 6, a bolt 9, and a support rod 10. Among them, a support rod mounting hole 7 and a connection hole 8 are formed on the base 6. The connection holes 8 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support rod mounting hole 7 and are used for the bolt 9 that fixes and connects the base 6 to the base 1 to pass through the connection hole 8 and be installed on the base 1. Since the chip ring obtains sufficient support area when installed on the base 6, after installation, the top of the bolt 9 is not higher than the top of the base 6. The bolt 9 preferably adopts a countersunk head bolt;

[0051] Specifically, the lower limit hole 702 is used to limit and stabilize the structure between the support rod 10 and the support rod mounting hole 7. Specifically, the support rod 10 is arranged in a T-shaped structure, including a support rod head 101 and a support rod body 102. The outer diameter of the support rod head 101 is larger than the outer diameter of the support rod body 102; correspondingly, the support rod mounting hole 7 is arranged in a T-shaped structure consistent with the direction of the support rod 10, and sequentially includes an upper mounting hole 701 and a lower limit hole 702 from top to bottom. The inner diameter of the upper mounting hole 701 is larger than the inner diameter of the lower limit hole 702. During installation and mating, the outer diameter of the support rod body 102 is the same as the inner diameter of the upper mounting hole 701, and the outer diameter of the support rod head 101 is the same as the inner diameter of the lower limit hole 702; when installing, the support rod 10 passes through from the bottom of the support rod mounting hole 7 and is installed on the base 6. Due to the cooperation of the structural dimensions, the support rod head 101 can only be installed in the lower limit hole 702, and the installed support rod body 102 will not loosen abnormally due to the large weight of the wafer chip ring.

[0052] In addition, to avoid friction during the installation process and the increase in installation difficulty caused by the existence of tolerances, both the lower limit hole 702 and the support rod head 101 of the structure adopt circular structures. In terms of size, the height of the lower limit hole 702 is greater than the height of the support rod head 101; moreover, the support rod 10 is turned out by a lathe from a whole piece of material, and the surface is smooth, which is convenient for the installation of the support rod mounting hole 7 and can also avoid friction during the installation of multiple chip rings sleeved.

[0053] On this basis, since there are planes around the structure of the chip ring, in this embodiment, according to the different plane structure sizes, on the basis of the first fixing module 2, a pair of support rods 10 are arranged inside the second fixing module 3, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the base 6. Correspondingly, there are two pairs of connection holes 8, which are arranged at equal intervals on the side of the base 6 away from the support rod 10;

[0054] In addition, for chip ring structures of different widths, two groups are arranged on each side of the first fixing module 2 and the second fixing module 3 to increase the contact area with the bottom surface of the chip surface.

[0055] Considering that the chip rings need to be prevented from moving after installation and the installation directions of multiple chip rings are consistent, a limit module 4 is installed on the base 1 and can be snapped into the positioning groove 11 of the chip ring. The limit module 4 includes a mounting base 401 and a limit block 402. The mounting base 401 is installed on the base 1, and the limit block 402 is installed on the mounting base 401. One end of the limit block 402 is configured to match the structure of the positioning groove 11. During installation, the limit block 402 is snapped into the corresponding positioning groove 11.

[0056] Preferably, in order to identify whether multiple chip rings are inserted at one time, in this embodiment, a pair of photoelectric sensors are also installed on both sides of the chip ring respectively. The installation height of the pair of photoelectric sensors 5 is higher than the top of the finally installed multiple chip rings. By changing the light shielding rate of the sensors due to the thickness differences of different numbers, the detection of two or more chip rings is achieved. In this way, the quality and safety hazards caused by the one-time insertion of multiple chip rings can be avoided.

[0057] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
