[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model discloses a flat and fixed wafer small grain platform, comprising: a carrier 1 with a hollow structure inside, a longitudinal bracket 2 fixedly installed at the rear part of the top of the carrier 1, a transverse bracket 2 fixedly installed at the top of the longitudinal bracket 2, a telescopic mechanism 3 (telescopic pump) fixedly installed at the front part of the bottom end of the transverse bracket 21, a flattening head 4 fixedly installed at the execution end of the telescopic mechanism 3, a main control unit 6 is provided on the front side of the top of the carrier 1, the main control unit 6 includes a main control board 61 installed in the carrier 1, a display 62 embedded in the top of the carrier 1 and a plurality of control buttons 63 arranged on the carrier 1 to the right of the display 62, and the main control board 61 is respectively connected to the telescopic mechanism 3, the display 62 and the plurality of control buttons 63 by signal.

[0026] Further, such as Figure 1-2As shown, the leveling head 4 includes a mounting block 41 fixedly mounted and connected to the execution end of the telescopic mechanism 3, and a mounting groove 411 for mounting a pressure sensor 42 (MEMS pressure sensor / fiber optic pressure sensor) is provided at the bottom end of the mounting block 41, and a boss 412 is provided along the top of the inner wall of the mounting groove 411, and the top of the pressure sensor 42 abuts against the bottom end of the boss 412, and a rubber pad 43 covering the pressure sensor 42 is bonded to the bottom end of the mounting block 41, and the rubber pad 43 is in contact with the pressure sensor 42, and the pressure sensor 42 is connected to the main control board 61 for signal connection.

[0027] Further, such as Figure 1 、 3 -4, it also includes a clamping mechanism 5, the clamping mechanism 5 includes a mounting plate 51 set in the stage 1 and a driving unit 52 installed on the top of the mounting plate 51, the driving unit 52 includes a driving motor 521 connected to the main control board 61 signal, the execution end of the driving motor 521 is connected to two driving gears 522, and two linkage units 53 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting plate 51 on the left and right sides of the driving motor 521. The linkage unit 53 includes a fixed block 531 symmetrically set on the top of the mounting plate 51 in front and back, and a bidirectional wire is rotatably connected between the two fixed blocks 531. Rod 532, the rear end of the bidirectional screw rod 532 passes through the corresponding side fixed block 531, and is connected to the transmission gear 533. The two transmission gears 533 are respectively connected to the two driving gears 522 through two transmission chains 534. There are two clamping blocks 54 symmetrically and threadedly connected on the bidirectional screw rod 532. Two slides 11 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the worktable 1. The outer walls of the two clamping blocks 54 on the same bidirectional screw rod 532 are both fitted with and slidably connected to the inner walls of the corresponding side slides 11. The top of the clamping block 54 passes through the slide 11 and extends out of the top of the worktable 1.

[0028] Further, such as Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the top ends of the two clamping blocks 54 on the same bidirectional screw rod 532 on opposite sides are both integrally provided with pressing blocks 541 .

[0029] Further, such as Figure 1 and 3 As shown, rubber pads 542 are provided on opposite sides of the two pressing blocks 541 on the same bidirectional screw rod 532 , the bottom ends of the pressing blocks 541 , and opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 54 .

[0030] Further, such as Figure 3-4As shown, the four corners of the mounting plate 51 are provided with limit holes 511, and the limit rods 512 are slidably connected in the limit holes 511. The two ends of the limit rods 512 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper and lower inner walls of the loading platform 1. The bottom end of the mounting plate 51 is provided with a lifting mechanism 55 (telescopic pump) connected to the signal of the main control board 61, and the bottom end of the lifting mechanism 55 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the loading platform 1.

[0031] Based on the above structure, Figure 1-4 As shown, the execution end of the telescopic mechanism 3 is completely retracted, and the opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 54 on the same bidirectional screw 532 are respectively in contact with the two ends of the same side slide 11, and the execution end of the lifting mechanism 55 is completely extended;

[0032] During use, the staff places the carrier carrying the wafer small grains bonded thereto on the stage 1 and aligns it with the bottom end of the leveling head 4. Then, by pressing the corresponding control button 63, the main control board 61 controls the drive motor 521 to drive the two drive gears 522 to rotate. The two drive gears 522 respectively drive the transmission gear 533 to rotate through the two transmission chains 534. The transmission gear 533 drives the bidirectional screw rod 532 to rotate. The bidirectional screw rod 532 drives the two clamping blocks 54 above it to move to the opposite side through the threaded connection until the corresponding sides of the two clamping blocks 54 are in contact with the outer walls of the two sides of the carrier, thereby preventing the carrier from producing a planar movement.

[0033] Then, by pressing the corresponding control button 63, the main control board 61 controls the actuator end of the lifting mechanism 55 to retract. The lifting mechanism 55 drives the clamping block 54 downward through the mounting plate 51, the fixing block 531, and the bidirectional screw rod 532 in sequence until the bottom end of the pressing block 541 abuts against the top end of the carrier, thereby preventing the carrier from generating vertical movement.

[0034] Finally, by pressing the corresponding control button 63, the main control board 61 controls the actuator end of the telescopic mechanism 3 to extend, and the actuator end of the telescopic mechanism 3 drives the leveling head 4 to press down until the bottom end of the rubber pad 43 abuts against the top end of the wafer small grain. The leveling head 4 is controlled to continue to press down, and the pressed bottom end of the wafer small grain continuously fits with the top end of the carrier until the bottom end of the wafer small grain completely fits with the top end of the carrier. At this time, the top end of the wafer small grain is flat.

[0035] When the flattening head 4 presses the small crystal grains on the wafer, the small crystal grains on the wafer generate a reaction force on the rubber pad 43, and the rubber pad 43 is recessed into the mounting groove 411. When the rubber pad 43 is recessed, it generates a planar pressure on the pressure sensor 42. The pressure sensor 42 transmits the real-time detected pressure value to the main control board 61. The main control board 61 has a built-in calculation module, and the calculation module converts the pressure value into a three-dimensional pressure display diagram (such as Figure 5 As shown), and displayed on the display 62, the staff confirms whether the top of the small crystal grain on the wafer is flat through the display 62.

[0036] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to them. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
