Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wafer production, and in particular relates to an automatic positioning platform for wafer products. Background Art

[0002] In the field of wafer glass processing and manufacturing, laser marking is required on the glass surface. Since the laser marking depth is less than 20 microns, and the glass itself has a certain degree of warping at about 700 microns, the design of the wafer placement platform is particularly important. To ensure that the marking platform and the laser maintain a good verticality, a high-precision automatic positioning platform needs to be designed to cooperate with the laser marking operation.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN117182324A discloses a compatible wafer backside marking fixture device, comprising a support base, an adsorption fixture carrier, and a carrier rotation device. The carrier rotation device is mounted on the support base, and the adsorption fixture carrier is mounted on the carrier rotation device. A lifting platform and a pressing platform are positioned above the adsorption fixture carrier, from bottom to top. The lifting platform is equipped with a pressing and lifting device for raising and lowering the pressing platform. Different processing carriers can be selected based on product size and quickly replaced without tedious assembly and disassembly. The device is compatible with processing multiple sizes and product series, facilitating equipment switching and conversion. A one-time correction of the carrier to ensure perpendicularity with the optical path cut eliminates the need for subsequent recalibration of perpendicularity, thus preventing problems with batch processing. To address the adsorption function for warped products, two non-contact suction cups hold the warped product against the fixture mounting base, while a pressing ring compresses the product's periphery, completely smoothing it out.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent solution, the wafer is suctioned onto a suction fixture carrier by a suction cup for laser marking. Due to the high cleanliness requirements for the wafer, the large area of ​​the suction fixture carrier has the potential to scratch and contaminate the wafer. If the wafer is suspended or supported at multiple points, the need for suction cups to secure the wafer will cause uneven force on the wafer, which in turn will cause the wafer to warp, affecting the laser marking effect and even rendering the wafer scrapped.
