Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of crystal testing, and in particular relates to an automatic wafer cleaning, etching and passivation device. Background Art

[0002] The grown crystals typically undergo optoelectronic performance characterization testing, with the results used to assess the quality of the crystal growth. A series of processes are required before the optoelectronic characterization testing phase. The main steps include: slicing the crystal blank into wafers; further processing the wafers into dies; grinding and polishing the dies; surface treatment of the polished dies; electrode plating on the treated dies; and finally, optoelectronic performance characterization testing. Surface treatment of the polished dies involves multiple steps, primarily cleaning, etching, and passivation. Cleaning reagents are typically organic chemicals, such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, and ethylene glycol. Etching and passivation reagents are often acids, bases, and some strong oxidizing agents, such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, potassium hydroxide, and hydrogen peroxide. Currently, most surface treatment steps are manual. Organic, acidic, alkaline, and strongly oxidizing chemicals can be harmful to the human body to varying degrees, requiring specialized protective masks and protective gear, which can be harmful to human health. In order to ensure the stability of chip performance testing, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the surface treatment process. However, manual operation has errors in technique, timeliness and accuracy, making it difficult to ensure the stability and accuracy of the surface treatment process.

A second motor 47 drives the gripper 44 downward, gripping the support arm 24. The second motor 47 then drives the gripper 44 upward, driving the feed vessel 23 upward. The first motor 46 drives the vertical plate 42 to move, which in turn drives the clamp 44 to the upper side of the surface treatment device. The second motor 47 drives the clamp 44 downward, and the clamp 44 drives the storage dish 23 into the surface treatment device 3 for surface treatment. During the treatment process, the second motor 47 and the first motor 46 are repeatedly activated to drive the clamp 44 upward and downward. Surface treatment is performed in the first cleaning chamber 3111, the second cleaning chamber 3112, the passivation cleaning chamber 312, the etching cleaning chamber 313, the etching beaker 32, and the passivation beaker 33, completing the surface treatment process. The clamp 44 then moves to the upper side of the material platform 2 and places the surface-treated storage dish 23 on the material platform 2. The material platform 2 then rotates to clamp the support arm 24 of another storage dish 23, and the above steps are repeated for surface treatment. This reciprocating process continues.
