[0002] In semiconductor manufacturing, a robotic arm is typically used to transfer wafers to a process chamber and place them on a wafer platform. To ensure optimal film thickness, uniformity, and stress on the wafer surface after processing, the center of the wafer must be perfectly aligned with the center of the wafer platform.
[0003] For example, announcement number CN212392219U is named as a device for semiconductor wafer position detection and calibration, which includes a machine for supporting and driving the wafer to rotate and a robot arm for placing the wafer on the machine. It also includes a monitor for detecting the position offset of the wafer and a positioning structure for adjusting the position of the wafer relative to the machine. The positioning structure includes a calibration plate and a driving structure for driving the calibration plate to move relative to the machine.
[0004] The above-mentioned device does not fix the position of the wafer during use, which may easily cause the wafer to shift again after the position is adjusted. The center of the wafer and the center of the wafer platform do not coincide with each other, which will lead to a decrease in the yield of the wafer and even cause the wafer to break and be scrapped. Therefore, we propose a calibration device for semiconductor equipment assembly to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0014] The utility model clamps the wafer by two rubber pads to avoid the phenomenon of squeezing and friction, thereby ensuring the quality of the wafer. The second electric push rod makes the two abutment plates contact the two sides of the wafer, thereby fixing the wafer and the tray. The cylinder can move the suction cup up until it contacts the bottom of the wafer and generates suction, thereby fixing the wafer. The electric guide rail and the two rubber pads can drive the wafer to move left and right on the slide rail. The position of the wafer on the workbench is judged by the distance from the two sets of position sensors to the sensor, thereby judging whether the wafer is working. The center position of the table, when the distances from the two sets of position sensors to the sensors are equal, the position sensor sends an electrical signal to the controller, which sends an electrical signal to the drive motor through the controller to stop the drive motor, thereby achieving the center of the wafer coinciding with the center of the worktable, solving the problem that the existing semiconductor wafer position detection and calibration device does not fix the position of the wafer during use, which easily causes the wafer to shift again after position adjustment, and the center of the wafer does not coincide with the center of the wafer platform, which will lead to a decrease in the yield of the wafer and even cause the wafer to break and be scrapped.
