Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, and particularly relates to a pick-and-place fixture for a precision engraving machine. Background Art

[0002] In the field of wafer glass processing, it is necessary to precisely process the shape of the wafer. Usually, the shape is processed on a precision engraving machine. For the processing of a circular shape, it is necessary to limit the placement position. Otherwise, deviation will cause the phenomenon that other parts of the circle cannot be processed. Therefore, the problem of loading and unloading positioning is particularly crucial, and a solution needs to be designed to improve the accuracy and convenience of positioning.

[0003] Chinese patent document with publication number CN216250685U discloses a wafer fixture and a fixture assembly. The wafer fixture includes a first substrate, a positioning component, and a pressing component. A bearing portion for bearing the wafer is recessed on the first substrate. The positioning component is arranged on the first substrate, and the positioning component has a positioning portion. The positioning portion can move radially relative to the bearing portion to cooperate with the positioning portion on the wafer to perform circumferential positioning on the wafer placed on the bearing portion. And two or more groups of the pressing components are distributed along the edge of the bearing portion on the first substrate. The pressing component includes a pressing member, and the pressing member can approach or move away from the edge of the bearing portion to axially press the wafer located on the bearing portion.

[0004] The wafer placed on the precision engraving machine needs to be concentric with the support table so that the precision engraving machine can achieve the best processing effect. Otherwise, deviation will cause the phenomenon that other parts of the circle cannot be processed. However, when manually placing the wafer, the position of the wafer is inconvenient to adjust, and it is impossible to intuitively judge whether the wafer is in a concentric position. Therefore, not only the working efficiency is reduced, but also the processing quality cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the technical problem that when a wafer is placed on the support table of a precision engraving machine, the placement position of the wafer cannot be intuitively judged and the position of the wafer is inconvenient to adjust; an object of the present utility model is to provide a pick-and-place fixture for a precision engraving machine. By means of a handheld fixture, pressing the fixture above the support table drives the centripetal rotation of each positioning rod. The inner extension rod abuts against the outer periphery of the support table to concentrically position the fixture and the support table. At the same time, the abutting cap abuts against the outer periphery of the wafer to concentrically position the wafer and the support table. The position adjustment can be realized with only one-step operation, which is simple and convenient.

The operation is simple and convenient, and can be completed with one hand.

[0009] Specifically, the linkage plate, the upper connecting rod, the transmission rod, and the positioning rod are arranged in sequence from the middle of the substrate to the outer periphery; the lower connecting rod is located at the lower end of the upper connecting rod.

[0012] Preferably, a spring is arranged between the linkage plate and the substrate; the elastic force of the spring is used to make the linkage plate slide upwards; a handle is arranged at the upper end of the linkage plate.

[0013] After the adjustment is completed, the linkage plate automatically resets, and the fixture is no longer in contact with the wafer and the precision engraving support table, facilitating the removal of the fixture.

[0014] Furthermore, three positioning slide bars are vertically arranged at the upper end of the substrate; three guiding slide seats are arranged on the linkage plate; the positioning slide bars are slidably connected in the corresponding guiding slide seats; the spring is located between the positioning slide bars; a limiting cap is arranged at the upper end of the positioning slide bar.

[0015] Furthermore, a support rod penetrates through the positioning rod; the support rod is threadedly connected to the positioning rod; the abutting cap is arranged at one end of the support rod facing the middle of the substrate.

[0016] The inner extension length of the abutting cap can be finely adjusted, which can prevent damage to the wafer while adjusting the position of the wafer.

[0017] Specifically, the limiting support rod is threadedly connected to the substrate.

[0018] Specifically, the substrate includes two overlapping mounting plates; the mounting plate includes a central disc and three radial rods extending radially outward along the circumference; the radial rods on the two mounting plates are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction.

[0019] Except for the basic structure of the substrate, most of the wafer is exposed, which is convenient for observing the position of the wafer.

[0020] Specifically, the limiting support rod is arranged on the lower mounting plate; the adjusting part is arranged on the upper mounting plate.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: After placing the fixture downward, the handle is pressed downward synchronously, so that the positioning rod adjusts the position of the wafer to be concentric with the precision carving support platform; the operation steps for adjusting the position of the wafer are simplified, and the wafer placement efficiency is improved; at the same time, the position accuracy of the wafer is also helpful for improving the processing quality of the wafer and reducing the defective rate.
