[0021] Working principle:

[0022] The polishing device for semiconductor wafer production mainly comprises a fixed cylinder 1, a stepping motor 2, a polishing wheel 4, an opening and closing door 3, an adjusting assembly 6, a fixing assembly 5 and the like. The fixed cylinder 1 serves as the basic support structure of the whole device and provides a stable mounting basis for other assemblies. The stepping motor 2 is installed on the rack at the top of the fixed cylinder 1, and its output end is connected with the polishing wheel 4. The stepping motor 2 serves as the power source and drives the polishing wheel 4 to rotate at high speed, thereby realizing the polishing function of the semiconductor wafer. The opening and closing door 3 is rotatably connected with the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 1 through a hinge, which facilitates the operator to put the wafer into or take it out of the working area inside the fixed cylinder 1.

[0023] The adjusting assembly 6 is installed on the inner wall at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 1. Its main function is to adjust the height position of the semiconductor wafer through the sliding insertion mode, so as to meet different polishing requirements and process requirements. The fixing assembly 5 is also installed on the inner wall at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 1 and is responsible for limiting the position of the semiconductor wafer through adsorption, so as to ensure that the wafer remains stable and does not displace during the polishing process, thereby providing reliable conditions for the polishing operation.

[0024] The fixing assembly 5 plays a key role in limiting the position of the semiconductor wafer. It mainly comprises a fixed disc 51, a suction cup 52, a connecting pipe 54, a gas shell 55, a piston rod 56 and a handle 53. The components work cooperatively to realize the adsorption positioning of the wafer.

[0025] The fixed disc 51 is one of the main structures of the fixing assembly 5. The inner wall thereof is annularly arrayed with a plurality of suction cups 52. These suction cups 52 are used to directly contact the surface of the semiconductor wafer. When it is necessary to fix the wafer, the operator first places the wafer on the suction cups 52 and keeps the suction cups 52 in contact with the wafer.

[0026] The inner wall of the fixing disc 51 is connected with the air casing 55 through a connecting pipe 54, the top of the connecting pipe 54 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the fixing disc 51, the bottom of the connecting pipe 54 is fixedly connected with the top of the air casing 55, the bottom of the air casing 55 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the bottom of the fixing cylinder 1, the inner wall of the air casing 55 is slidably connected with the piston rod 56, and the outer wall of the piston rod 56 is also slidably connected with the inner wall of the fixing cylinder 1.

[0027] In the initial state, the gas in the air casing 55 is in a natural state, when the wafer needs to be fixed, the operator moves the piston rod 56 away from the fixing cylinder 1, the piston rod 56 slides in the air casing 55, so that the space in the air casing 55 increases, the air pressure decreases, because the air casing 55 is connected with the suction disc 52 in the fixing disc 51 through the connecting pipe 54, the air pressure in the space where the suction disc 52 is located also decreases, and the atmospheric pressure is relatively high, under the action of the atmospheric pressure, the suction disc 52 is tightly adsorbed on the surface of the wafer, so that the wafer is adsorbed and fixed, and when the polishing of the wafer is completed, the piston rod 56 is pushed in the opposite direction, so that the adsorption of the suction disc 52 to the wafer is released.

[0028] Through the synergistic effect of the plurality of suction discs 52 arranged in an annular array, uniform adsorption force can be applied to the wafer, the position of the wafer on the fixing disc 51 is stable, displacement of the wafer during polishing and polishing is prevented, and a solid foundation is laid for subsequent polishing and polishing operations.

[0029] The adjusting assembly 6 is mainly responsible for adjusting the height position of the semiconductor wafer, which is composed of a support frame 61, an adjusting block 64, an insertion plate 62, a tension spring 63, a limiting groove 65 and the like. Each component realizes the adjustment of the height position of the wafer through a specific mechanical structure.

[0030] The support frame 61 serves as the basic support structure of the adjusting assembly 6, and its bottom is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the bottom of the fixing cylinder 1, thereby providing a mounting and sliding support platform for other components. The inner wall of the support frame 61 is slidably connected with the adjusting block 64, so that the adjusting block 64 can slide up and down in the support frame 61. The top of the adjusting block 64 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the fixing disc 51 in the fixing assembly 5. Thus, by sliding the adjusting block 64, the fixing disc 51 and the wafer adsorbed thereon can be moved up and down, thereby achieving the adjustment of the height position of the wafer.

[0031] The inner wall of the support frame 61 is also slidably connected with the insertion plate 62. The outer walls of the two sides of the insertion plate 62 are fixedly connected with the tension spring 63, and the other end of the tension spring 63 is fixedly connected with the outer wall of the support frame 61. The outer wall of the insertion plate 62 is inserted into the inner wall of the adjusting block 64 through the limiting groove 65, and the limiting groove 65 is formed in the wall of the adjusting block 64.

[0032] When the height position of the wafer needs to be adjusted, the operator first pulls the plug-in plate 62 to move outward against the tension of the tension spring 63, at this time the plug-in plate 62 is pulled out of the limiting groove 65 of the adjusting block 64, and the restriction of the upward and downward sliding of the adjusting block 64 is released, then the operator can grasp the handle 53 and push the adjusting block 64 to slide upward or downward in the supporting frame 61 according to the specific polishing requirement, so as to drive the fixed disc 51 and the wafer to rise or fall to the appropriate height position,

[0033] When the adjusting block 64 slides to the appropriate position, the operator releases the plug-in plate 62, and under the elastic restoring force of the tension spring 63, the plug-in plate 62 will automatically move inward, reinserting into the limiting groove 65 of the adjusting block 64, again limiting the position of the adjusting block 64, ensuring that it remains stable at the adjusted height position, providing accurate height conditions for subsequent polishing operation,

[0034] After the adsorption positioning and height position adjustment of the semiconductor wafer are completed, the polishing operation can be performed, at this time, the stepping motor 2 drives the polishing wheel 4 to rotate at high speed, since the fixed assembly 5 has stably adsorbed and fixed the wafer, and the adjusting assembly 6 has adjusted the wafer to the appropriate height position, the high-speed rotating polishing wheel 4 will polish the wafer positioned by the fixed assembly 5.

[0035] During the polishing process, the fixed assembly 5 continuously maintains the adsorption effect on the wafer, preventing the wafer from shifting or shaking due to the polishing force or polishing force of the polishing wheel 4, ensuring the stability of the polishing process, at the same time, the adjusting assembly 6 maintains the height position of the wafer unchanged, so that the polishing wheel 4 can complete the polishing action according to the set height and path, finally realizing the polishing of the semiconductor wafer, meeting the size, shape and quality requirements of the polishing of the semiconductor wafer production.

[0036] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary skilled in the art and related fields without creative labor should belong to the scope of protection of the present application. The structures, devices and operation methods not specifically described and explained in the present application, if not specially described and limited, are implemented according to the conventional means in the art.
