Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of silicon carbide crystal ingot processing, in particular to a fixing device for silicon carbide crystal ingots during processing. Background Art

[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) material exhibits high hardness and strength at high temperatures. Its vaporization temperature is at least 2000°C. Silicon carbide is chemically stable, heat-resistant, and oxidation-resistant, and possesses excellent thermal conductivity and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. Due to these properties, silicon carbide is widely used in high-temperature materials, electronic equipment, solar panels, and high-power semiconductor components. Semiconductor materials are highly brittle and have low fracture toughness, making them difficult to process with traditional machining techniques, which can easily lead to collapse and breakage. Silicon carbide ingot marking primarily refers to the process of marking or cutting silicon carbide ingots using laser technology. Laser slicing technology offers advantages such as low material loss, high wafer output, controllable yield, and high cutting efficiency. However, during the marking process of silicon carbide ingots, due to the lack of a fixing device and the inconsistent sizes and thicknesses of the crystals to be marked, there are risks associated with single-handed adjustment by one person. Marking of crystals with and without supports requires switching tooling. Moreover, due to the different thicknesses of the crystals, solid blocks are required to fix and clamp the ingots. This method is inefficient and carries the risk of the crystals being bumped.

[0003] In summary, the production line needs a marking tool that is compatible with both crystals with and without support, which can improve efficiency while reducing the risk of crystal collision. Utility Model Content
