Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of silicon strain gauge production, in particular to a silicon MEMS strain gauge corrosion and thinning device. Background Art

[0002] Silicon strain gauge etching and thinning equipment is used to remove surface material from silicon strain gauges, achieving thinning. This equipment has a wide range of applications in semiconductor manufacturing, silicon wafer processing, optical material processing, and thin film material preparation. Silicon strain gauge etching and thinning can be achieved through mechanical thinning and chemical thinning.

[0003] Mechanical thinning refers to the removal of a certain thickness of material from the surface of the silicon wafer through physical methods such as grinding and polishing. Chemical thinning refers to the use of the principle of chemical reaction to achieve the purpose of thinning by corroding the surface material of the silicon wafer.

[0004] The disadvantage of mechanical thinning using silicon strain gauge corrosion thinning devices in the existing technology is that it will cause certain damage to the silicon wafer surface, requiring subsequent treatment to restore the surface quality. The disadvantage of chemical thinning is that it requires controlling the reaction conditions and selecting a suitable etching solution to ensure thinning accuracy and surface quality. Utility Model Content

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The moving mechanism includes an electric push rod, the top of which is slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail, the output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to a UV adhesive film, and the bottom end of the UV adhesive film is adhered to the top of the silicon block.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The cutting mechanism comprises a bracket, the bottom of the bracket is fixedly connected to the inner bottom end of the workbench, and the top of the bracket is fixedly connected to a blade.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The collecting mechanism comprises a collecting box, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the inner bottom end of the workbench.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The irradiation mechanism includes two UV lamp tubes, and the top ends of the two UV lamp tubes are fixedly connected to the inner top end of the workbench.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The height of the reaction box is set to 15um.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The initial thickness of the silicon block is set to 40 μm.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The height of the blade is set to 20 μm.

[0021] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. In the present invention, the initial thickness of the silicon block is set to 40 μm, the top of the silicon block is bonded to the bottom of the UV film, and then the block is placed in a reaction box. A corrosive medium is injected into the reaction box to corrode the silicon. After all the silicon in the reaction box is corroded, the remaining 25 μm thick silicon block is moved to the blade for cutting by an electric push rod. This method achieves the goal of circumventing the defects of using one method by combining chemical thinning and mechanical thinning, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the strain gauge.

[0023] 2. In the present invention, after the silicon block is cut, the required thickness of 20um is left. The electric push rod is used to move it to the top of the collection box through the UV film. The UV lamp is turned on to irradiate the UV film to make it lose its stickiness and allow the silicon block to fall into the collection box. This achieves the effect of faster collection of the silicon block by the simultaneous operation of the collection mechanism and the irradiation mechanism, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
