Specific embodiments
[0020] The following is a description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustrating and explaining the present utility model, and are not used to limit the present utility model.
[0021] Please refer to the attached Figures 1-4 , A fixing device for semiconductor wafer testing with firm locking provided by the present utility model includes a base 1 and a fixed semiconductor wafer 2. A top plate 3 is fixed on the top of the base 1. The wafer 2 is fixed on the top plate 3 through a first locking assembly, and a second locking assembly for fixing the edge of the wafer 2 is arranged on the first locking assembly;
[0022] The first locking assembly includes a partition 4. The partition 4 is horizontally fixed below the interior of the base 1. A servo motor 5 is vertically fixed at the center of the bottom of the partition 4. A through hole 6 is opened at the center of the partition 4. The top end of the output shaft of the servo motor 5 vertically passes through the through hole 6, and a lead screw 7 is vertically fixed at the top end of the output shaft of the servo motor 5. A threaded sleeve 8 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 7. A plurality of connecting rods 9 are rotatably connected to the side of the threaded sleeve 8 in a circular array. Specifically, when the servo motor 5 operates, it can drive the lead screw 7 to rotate forward and backward, thereby driving the threaded sleeve 8 to move accordingly;
[0023] The first locking assembly further includes a number of rectangular slots 10 which are arranged in a circular array on the top plate 3. A moving block 11 is slidably connected inside each rectangular slot 10. The number of moving blocks 11 corresponds to the number of connecting rods 9 one by one. The top ends of the connecting rods 9 are rotatably connected to the bottoms of the corresponding moving blocks 11. That is, under the limiting action of the connecting rod 9, the moving block 11 and the rectangular slot 10, when the servo motor 5 operates to drive the lead screw 7 to rotate forward and backward, the threaded sleeve 8 threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 7 can perform a linear lifting motion. And when the threaded sleeve 8 moves up and down, it can drive the moving block 11 to move linearly back and forth in the corresponding rectangular slot 10 through the connecting rod 9. A clamping plate 12 is fixed on the top of each moving block 11. The clamping plate 12 is in a right-angled shape. The side surface of the semiconductor wafer 2 abuts against the surfaces of the clamping plates 12. Specifically, when the moving block 11 moves linearly back and forth, it can drive the corresponding clamping plate 12 to move linearly back and forth, so as to control the clamping plates 12 to move towards the center of the top plate 3 to close or move in the reverse direction to expand, thereby preliminarily clamping and fixing semiconductor wafers 2 with different diameters;
[0024] The second locking assembly includes a number of threaded holes 13 which are vertically opened at the tops of the clamping plates 12 respectively. An adjusting screw 14 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of each threaded hole 13. A rotating handle 15 is fixed at the top of each adjusting screw 14. The bottom end of each adjusting screw 14 is rotatably connected to a pressing plate 16. A rubber gasket 17 is fixed at the bottom of each pressing plate 16. The bottoms of the rubber gaskets 17 abut against the top edge of the semiconductor wafer 2. That is, under the action of the rubber gasket 17, the friction with the top edge of the semiconductor wafer 2 can be increased, and the top edge of the semiconductor wafer 2 can be prevented from being damaged by pressing. Specifically, after the semiconductor wafer 2 is preliminarily clamped and fixed by closing the clamping plates 12, the user can also rotate the adjusting screw 14 through the rotating handle 15 to control the pressing plate 16 to move downwards, so as to perform a secondary pressing and fixing operation on the top edge of the semiconductor wafer 2. That is, the fixing device can perform double fixing of clamping and pressing on the semiconductor wafer 2, and the locking is firm to prevent the semiconductor wafer 2 from shifting during testing. And only the side of the semiconductor wafer 2 is locked, and the area required for testing the semiconductor wafer 2 (such as Figure 4 shown) will not be blocked. Therefore, it is not affected by the diameter of the semiconductor wafer 2, and semiconductor wafers 2 with different diameters can be locked and fixed, and the applicable range is wide.
[0025] The usage process of the present utility model is as follows: The user first places the semiconductor wafer 2 to be tested on the top plate 3, and then controls the operation of the servo motor 5 to control a number of clamping plates 12 to move towards the center of the top plate 3 for closing, so as to perform a preliminary clamping and fixing operation on the semiconductor wafer 2. Then, the user controls the rotation of the adjusting screw 14 through the rotating handle 15 to control the pressing plate 16 to move downward, and then the pressing and fixing operation can be performed on the top edge of the semiconductor wafer 2 again. That is, the fixing device can perform double fixing of clamping and pressing on the semiconductor wafer 2, with firm locking to prevent the semiconductor wafer 2 from shifting during testing. Moreover, only the side of the semiconductor wafer 2 is locked, and the area to be tested of the semiconductor wafer 2 will not be blocked. Therefore, it is not affected by the diameter of the semiconductor wafer 2, and the semiconductor wafers 2 with different diameters can be locked and fixed, with a wide application range and simple operation.
[0026] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify the present utility model by using the technical solutions described above or modify it into an equivalent technical solution. Therefore, any simple modification or equivalent replacement made according to the technical solution of the present utility model falls within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.
