This process is crucial for protecting wafers from damage during subsequent processing, cutting, transportation, and other processes. However, existing wafer laminators have some problems when processing wafers of different sizes. Usually, the corresponding carrier needs to be replaced according to the size of the wafer. For example, different sizes of carriers are required for 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch wafers. This operation method is not only time-consuming, but also increases labor and time costs. In addition, frequent replacement of carriers may also increase the risk of equipment failure. Therefore, setting up a fixed carrier for laminating wafers of multiple specifications meets current usage needs. Utility Model Content
