Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wafer processing, in particular to a glue coater for wafers. Background Technique
[0002] When coating glue on a wafer, first use a suction cup to adsorb the wafer on the workbench, then use a glue gun to drop glue droplets at the center of the wafer, and finally drive the wafer to rotate, and use centrifugal force to evenly spread the photoresist on the surface of the wafer.
[0003] During the processing and manufacturing of wafers, due to reasons such as thermal stress, material inhomogeneity, or process parameters, the wafers show warping (the main warping forms are bow warping, that is, the center of the wafer is relatively high, and the overall shape is similar to a bow, or dish warping, that is, the center of the wafer is relatively low, and the overall shape is similar to a dish, opposite to the bow warping). And under the action of factors such as the complexity of material properties, the accuracy requirements of process control, and the limitations of wafer size and structure, it is difficult to completely eliminate the warping of the wafers. Therefore, when performing glue coating operations on wafers, if each suction cup has the same suction force on the wafer, it will cause the wafer to not fit completely with the suction cup due to the existence of warping, resulting in an uneven state of the upper surface of the wafer on the suction cup, making the glue unable to spread evenly around, thus affecting the glue coating quality of the wafer.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a glue coater for wafers to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0023] The adjusting assembly includes a circular plate 201 rotatably connected inside the protective cover 102, the output end of the rotating motor 107 is connected with the circular plate 201, an air pump 202 is provided on the side of the circular plate 201 away from the workbench 101, the output end of the air pump 202 is connected with a first suction rod 205 through an installation pipe 204 and is connected with a second suction rod 207 through a plurality of bellows 206, each second suction rod 207 is arranged in an annular array, a distance sensor 209 is connected inside the first suction rod 205 and each second suction rod 207 through a strip plate 208, and a driving assembly for driving the distance between each second suction rod 207 is provided on the circular plate 201;
[0024] It should be noted here that: by adjusting the settings of the components, it is convenient to adaptively change the suction force on the central part and the peripheral part of the wafer according to the warping shape of the wafer, thereby improving the fitting effect between the wafer and the first suction rod 205 and the second suction rod 207, enhancing the flatness of the wafer during glue coating placement, enabling the glue to uniformly diffuse around, and thus improving the glue coating quality of the wafer.
[0025] What is more optimized is that for wafers with special warping shapes such as twisted warping, the change in the warping shape of the wafer can be achieved by adding multiple groups of second suction rods 207.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 4 , on the side walls of the first suction rod 205 and each second suction rod 207 in the figure, control valves 210 are provided, and each control valve 210 is electrically connected to a distance sensor 209 through a controller;
[0027] It should be noted here that: through the setting of the control valve 210, it is convenient to control the gas throughput of the suction channels of the first suction rod 205 or the second suction rod 207 according to the distance detection of the distance sensor 209.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 3 , in the figure, the turntable 106 and the first suction rod 205 are connected through a bearing 211;
[0029] It should be noted here that: through the setting of the bearing 211, after realizing the connection and support between the first suction rod 205 and the turntable 106, the first suction rod 205 and the turntable 106 are rotatably connected.
[0030] Working principle: When performing glue coating operation on the wafer, first, according to the size of the wafer, use the driving component to adjust the distance between each second suction rod 207, so that each second suction rod 207 arranged in an annular array is close to the edge of the wafer, then place the wafer on the turntable 106, and make its center coincide with the center of the turntable 106, and one side of the wafer faces the first suction rod 205 and each second suction rod 207;
[0031] After the wafer is opposed to the first suction rod 205 and each second suction rod 207 on one side of the wafer, the distance sensor 209 is used to detect the distance between the end face of the wafer and the first suction rod 205 and each second suction rod 207. If the distance of the wafer is closer to the first suction rod 205, it indicates that the warpage degree of the wafer is dish-shaped warpage, the center of the wafer is relatively low, and the overall shape is similar to a dish. At this time, the controller reduces the suction channel of the first suction rod 205 and increases the suction channels of each second suction rod 207, so as to reduce the suction force on the central part of the wafer and increase the suction force on the peripheral part of the wafer. If the distance of the wafer is closer to the second suction rod 207, it indicates that the warpage degree of the wafer is bow-shaped warpage, the center of the wafer is relatively high, and the overall shape is similar to a bow. At this time, the controller increases the suction channel of the first suction rod 205 and reduces the suction channels of each second suction rod 207, so as to increase the suction force on the central part of the wafer and reduce the suction force on the peripheral part of the wafer, so as to facilitate changing the suction force on the central part and the peripheral part of the wafer according to the warped shape of the wafer, thereby improving the fitting effect between the wafer and the first suction rod 205 and the second suction rod 207, enhancing the flatness of the wafer during glue coating and placement, enabling the glue to spread evenly around, and thus improving the glue coating quality of the wafer;
[0032] After the wafer is adsorbed and fixed, the sliding arm 103 and the rotating seat 104 are used to drive the glue gun 105 to drop the glue at the center of the wafer, and after the glue dropping is completed, it moves away from the wafer. As an existing technology, the specific operation can refer to the authorized publication number CN221433739U, a semiconductor wafer glue coater, and will not be elaborated here. After the glue drops onto the wafer surface, the rotation motor 107 is started to drive the adsorbed and fixed wafer to rotate, so that under the centrifugal force, the glue is evenly spread on the wafer surface, and thus the glue coating operation of the wafer is completed.
