Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wafer processing, in particular to a uniformly heated wafer table. Background Art

[0002] When wafers leave the wafer fab, they are relatively thick. During packaging, they need to be thinned to accommodate smaller package sizes. To protect the wafer's circuit layer during wafer thinning, a film is applied to the wafer's circuit layer to prevent scratches and contamination during thinning and grinding. After wafer thinning, this protective film must be removed without damaging the wafer.

[0003] During the lamination process, some lamination processes have special temperature requirements, and the wafer platen needs to be heated to a specific temperature to ensure a better lamination between the film and the wafer. Similarly, during the film removal process, some lamination processes have special temperature requirements, and the wafer platen needs to be heated to a specific temperature to ensure a better separation between the film and the wafer.

[0004] Currently, existing wafer stages have heating rods installed on the side. These rods heat up one location on the wafer stage first, then conduct heat through the stage itself, stabilizing the entire stage at a consistent temperature. However, this heating method uses a relatively small heat source, resulting in slow overall heating and uneven initial heating, which impacts film application and removal efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a uniformly heated wafer table, which can quickly and uniformly heat the table surface and improve the wafer processing efficiency.

[0006] To this end, the technical solution of the utility model is: a uniformly heated wafer table, including a table body, a heating plate and a base, the three of which are fixed as one; the heating plate is a three-layer structure, the upper and lower layers are made of polyimide material, and the middle is evenly covered with resistance wire, and the two ends of the resistance wire are connected to positive and negative poles respectively.

[0007] On the basis of the above solution and as a preferred solution of the above solution: a heat insulating sheet is provided under the heating sheet, the heat insulating sheet is placed between the heating sheet and the base, and the area of the heat insulating sheet is greater than or equal to the area of the heating sheet.

[0008] On the basis of the above solution and as a preferred solution of the above solution: the heating plate is a circular structure, and the resistance wire is distributed in a ring-shaped winding shape.

[0009] On the basis of the above solution and as a preferred solution of the above solution: the table plate body has a ceramic table top, and the ceramic table top is provided with a through hole.

[0010] On the basis of the above solution and as a preferred solution of the above solution: a positive terminal and a negative terminal of the resistance wire extend from one side of the heating plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0012] 1. A heating plate with an area similar to that of the wafer table is set under the wafer table. Resistance wires are evenly laid inside the heating plate. The two ends of the resistance wires extend from one side of the heating plate to form a positive terminal and a negative terminal. After power is turned on, the resistance wires heat up. The evenly laid resistance wires make the wafer table evenly heated and quickly heat up to the set temperature, which facilitates the film application or tearing operation on the wafer and speeds up the wafer processing efficiency.

[0013] 2. Install a heat insulation sheet under the heating plate to effectively isolate the heating plate from the base and prevent excessive heat from being transferred to the base under the plate.

[0014] 3. Customize heating plates of different specifications according to the structure of the wafer table, so that each wafer table can be heated evenly, speeding up the heating speed and making the heating more uniform. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features. Therefore, the terms "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly refer to one or more of these features. In the description of this utility model, "several" and "a number" mean two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0023] See the accompanying drawings. The uniformly heated wafer table described in this embodiment includes a table body 1, a heating plate 2, a thermal insulation plate 3, and a base 4, all fixed together. The table body 1 has a ceramic table top with through-holes 11 for connection to a negative pressure device. The negative pressure device draws air, creating a negative pressure state in the through-holes, which serves to absorb the wafer, facilitate wafer movement, and facilitate film application or removal.

[0024] The heating plate 2 is a three-layer structure, the upper and lower layers are made of polyimide, and the middle is evenly covered with resistance wire 21. The heating plate 2 is a circular structure, and the resistance wire 21 is distributed in a ring-shaped manner. One end of the resistance wire 21 extends to form the positive terminal 22, and the other end extends to form the negative terminal 23. The resistance wire 21 is wound in circles, according to Figure 4 As shown, the resistance wire 21 is a complete piece, and the entire heating plate 2 is heated at the same time, which can ensure that the heating plate 2 is heated evenly.

[0025] A heat insulating sheet 3 is provided below the heating sheet 2 and is placed between the heating sheet 2 and the base 4. The area of the heat insulating sheet 3 is not less than that of the heating sheet 2. The heat insulating sheet 3 can effectively isolate the heating sheet 2 from the base 4 and prevent excessive heat from being transferred to the base 4 under the table.

[0026] Heating plates of different specifications are customized according to the structure of the wafer table, including 12-inch film laminating table heating plates, 8-inch film laminating table heating plates, 12-inch film tearing table heating plates, 8-inch film tearing table heating plates, etc., so that each wafer table can be heated evenly, which speeds up the heating speed and makes the heating more uniform.

[0027] During use, a heating plate 2 with an area approximately the same as the wafer table surface is provided under the table body 1. A resistance wire 21 is evenly laid inside the heating plate 2. Both ends of the resistance wire 21 extend from one side of the heating plate to form a positive terminal 22 and a negative terminal 23. After power is turned on, the resistance wire 21 heats up. The evenly laid resistance wire 21 causes the table body 1 to heat up evenly and quickly heat up to the set temperature, making it convenient to apply or tear off the film on the wafer and speeding up the processing efficiency of the wafer.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, certain improvements and modifications that do not depart from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
