Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of adhesive dissolving machines, and particularly relates to an adjustable wafer clamp and an adhesive dissolving machine. Background Art

[0002] A thermal disintegrator is a device specifically designed for removing adhesives through a pyrolysis process. This machine is primarily used in industrial production, particularly in the semiconductor, microelectronics, and optical component manufacturing industries, to remove temporary protective adhesives used during the manufacturing process, such as photoresists and other types of heat-sensitive adhesives. The operating principle of a thermal disintegrator is based on the thermal instability of adhesives. When heated to a certain temperature, the adhesive's molecular chains break, causing it to decompose into gas or smaller solid particles, which can then be easily removed from the substrate surface.

[0003] Since wafers come in a variety of sizes, different disassembly machines are often required to accommodate wafers of different sizes, resulting in increased costs. Some existing disassembly machines use a single fixture to secure wafers of varying sizes, but this can be unstable. Other disassembly machines utilize interchangeable fixtures, allowing for flexible adaptation to various wafer sizes. However, assembly and disassembly are inconvenient, impacting work efficiency.
