Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductor processing, in particular to a double-station laser mass transfer device. Background Art

[0002] Laser Mass Transfer Equipment is a key technical equipment in the manufacturing of micro-nano electronic devices such as Micro LED and Mini LED. It plays a crucial role especially in the process of efficiently transferring a large number of tiny LED chips from the growth substrate to the target substrate. With the continuous development of display technology, Micro LED has become a hot spot for the next-generation display technology due to its advantages such as high brightness, high contrast, low power consumption, and long lifespan. However, in the manufacturing process of Micro LED, how to efficiently and accurately transfer millions or even tens of millions of micron-sized LED chips to the driving circuit substrate has become a key bottleneck restricting its mass production. Laser mass transfer technology has emerged under this background, enabling the rapid and large-scale transfer of chips through precise control of lasers.

[0003] Laser Mass Transfer Equipment mainly utilizes the ablation or thermal expansion effect of a laser beam on a specific material layer to separate the chip from the original substrate and transfer it to the target substrate. The specific process includes multiple steps such as laser lift-off, chip pickup, transfer, and positioning. Among them, laser lift-off is achieved by irradiating a laser beam onto a specific layer (such as a sacrificial layer) between the chip and the original substrate, causing it to thermally expand or ablate, thereby separating the chip; chip pickup is to pick up the separated chip using a transfer head or other mechanical devices; transfer and positioning are to accurately place the chip at a specified position on the target substrate and form good electrical connections and mechanical fixings with the circuit.

[0004] After a large number of searches, it is found that the Chinese patent publication number CN217995984U discloses a mass transfer device. To solve the problems of inconvenient loading and unloading and low loading and unloading efficiency caused by existing devices, when loading, the first substrate and the second substrate are placed on a moving mechanism. The moving mechanism can drive the first substrate to move below the adsorption mechanism, and the adsorption mechanism adsorbs the first substrate. The moving mechanism moves the second substrate below the first substrate, and the laser can process the first substrate, so that the chips on the first substrate are transferred to the second substrate. After the transfer is completed, the first substrate and the second substrate are removed simultaneously, which is convenient for loading and unloading. The method of placing two substrates on the same moving mechanism when loading, although solving the problem of non-simultaneous loading and unloading, still has the problem that the processing needs to be paused during the pick-up and placement of materials.

[0005] After a massive search, it is found that the existing Chinese patent publication number is CN114743914A, which discloses a laser lift-off and massive transfer device based on a composite support platform. By means of the rapid macro movement of the upper and lower guide platforms and the use of the magnetic support adjustment platform on the lower platform to achieve high-precision and rapid fine adjustment of the substrate and the glass plate, laser lift-off and massive transfer are achieved under the combined action of the two. Although this method can improve the alignment accuracy of the substrate and the glass plate, it is still insufficient to improve the transfer speed of the chips and cannot meet the production capacity requirements of display panel factories. First, rough alignment and fine alignment in two stages are required to achieve precise positioning; second, after the chip transfer is completed, the processing needs to be paused, and the moving platform has to move from the processing area to the material taking area to complete the material discharging and taking actions, and then return to the processing area to start processing again.

[0006] To improve production efficiency, the transfer device needs to have the ability of rapid transfer to meet the needs of large-scale production. However, currently existing massive transfers all have only one working station. After each processing is completed, the moving mechanism needs to leave the processing position, move to the position for taking and placing the substrate to take and place the materials, and then move back to the processing position for processing. During the entire material taking process, the laser does not perform processing, so it will affect production efficiency. Therefore, the present utility model proposes a dual-station laser massive transfer device to solve the above existing problems.

[0007] In view of the above defects, the designer actively conducts research and innovation in order to create a dual-station laser massive transfer device, making it more valuable in industrial applications. Summary of the Utility Model

[0094] The working process of the present utility model:

[0095] The first carrier stage assembly moves into the working area of the manipulator of the first loading and unloading assembly. At the same time, the second carrier stage assembly also moves into the working area of the manipulator of the second loading and unloading assembly. First, the first manipulator takes out a wafer from the first wafer cassette and places it on the first loading adsorption area on the first carrier stage assembly. At the same time, the second manipulator takes out a wafer from the second wafer cassette and places it on the second loading adsorption area on the second carrier stage assembly. The first carrier stage assembly moves to the working area of the first fine alignment platform for fine alignment processing. At the same time, the second carrier stage assembly moves to the working area of the second fine alignment platform for fine alignment processing. Then the first carrier stage assembly moves to below the adsorption ring one of the upper working platform assembly, aligning the center of the wafer with the center of the adsorption ring one. The first lifting mechanism rises, causing the wafer to contact and be adsorbed by the adsorption ring one. The first lifting mechanism descends, and the first carrier stage assembly moves back into the working area of the manipulator of the first loading and unloading assembly. At the same time, the second carrier stage assembly moves to below the adsorption ring three of the upper working platform assembly, aligning the center of the wafer with the center of the adsorption ring three. The second lifting mechanism rises, causing the wafer to contact and be adsorbed by the adsorption ring three. The second lifting mechanism descends, and the second carrier stage assembly moves back into the working area of the manipulator of the second loading and unloading assembly.

[0096] When the first carrier stage assembly returns to the working area of the manipulator of the first loading and unloading assembly, the first manipulator sequentially places the wafers in the first wafer cassette on the first loading adsorption area and the substrates in the first substrate cassette on the first substrate adsorption area. Repeating the above actions, the first carrier stage assembly transports the wafers to the adsorption ring two. At this time, the loading of the three adsorption rings is completed. At this time, the upper working platform assembly and the first carrier stage assembly move synchronously to the working area of the laser processing optical path assembly for transfer processing. When the substrates on the first carrier stage assembly are filled with the transferred chips, the first carrier stage assembly retreats to the working area of the manipulator of the first loading and unloading assembly, and the manipulator performs the operations of taking the substrate and placing a new substrate. At the same time, the second carrier stage assembly, carrying the substrate, moves synchronously with the upper working platform assembly to continue the transfer processing. Repeating the above steps until the chips on the wafers on the upper working platform assembly are all transferred. The corresponding loading and unloading adsorption area of the carrier stage assembly on the lower working platform assembly performs the operation of taking the wafers. The carrier stage assembly retreats to the working area of the manipulator to perform the operations of taking the transferred wafers and placing new wafers. Then continue a new round of transfer processing.

[0097] The utility model solves the problem of low efficiency of massive transfer, ensures the continuous progress of the processing process, there is no situation of waiting for feeding and taking materials in the equipment, improves the production capacity of the chip factory, and saves costs;

[0098] It proposes a new layout of the double-station platform for laser massive transfer equipment in the field, and has a wide range of applicability;

[0099] A method for transferring wafers of mixed sizes is provided, breaking the barrier that only wafers of the same size can be transferred. The wafers can be transferred and processed onto the lower substrate in any combination of 4-inch, 6-inch, or 8-inch wafers, solving the existing practical problems in chip factories.
