Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wafer processing fixture technology, and specifically to a wafer processing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] A wafer is a carrier used in the production of integrated circuits, primarily referring to single-crystal silicon wafers. Single-crystal silicon wafers are produced by drawing and refining ordinary silicon sand, followed by dissolution, purification, and distillation to create single-crystal silicon ingots. After polishing and slicing, these ingots become wafers. Wafers are the most commonly used semiconductor material, and are available in diameters of 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches, etc., with recent developments including 12-inch wafers and even larger sizes (14 inches, 15 inches, 16 inches, ... 20 inches and above). Larger wafers allow for the production of more ICs on a single wafer, reducing costs; however, this requires more advanced materials and manufacturing technologies. Furthermore, wafer processing necessitates the fixing and shaping of the wafer, thus requiring the invention of a wafer processing fixture.

[0003] CN 217740498 U discloses a wafer clamping and pre-alignment mechanism, including a base, a rotating module, and a pre-alignment module. The rotating module includes a fixed frame, a connecting plate, and a wafer adsorption mechanism. The pre-alignment module includes symmetrically distributed card holder mounting brackets and card holders. A fixed base is fixedly mounted on the base, and the fixed base has two sets of positioning sliders and guide rail cylinders. The positioning sliders are fixed to the lower extension of the card holder mounting bracket by bolts. One end of the connecting plate is fixed to the lower end face of the wafer adsorption mechanism, and the other end is fixed to the side of the fixed frame. The lower end of the wafer adsorption mechanism is a motor, and the upper end is equipped with a rotating disk. The upper end of the card holder mounting bracket is fixed with a card holder by bolts. The inner side of the card holder has an arc-shaped stepped groove for storing wafers. The arc-shaped stepped groove has mounting slots for placing protective blocks at both ends and in the middle. By cooperating with the rotating module and the pre-alignment module, the wafer is aligned automatically, which improves work efficiency.

[0004] To address the wafer processing issues in the aforementioned solutions, existing technologies employ a combination of a rotating module and a pre-alignment module to align the wafer, achieving automatic wafer centering and alignment. However, this approach still encounters situations where the wafer cannot be flexibly adjusted after being clamped and fixed, thus hindering flexible wafer processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wafer processing fixture to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] The adjustment mechanism includes a connecting plate and a mounting base. The connecting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the support base. A rack is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate, and a gear is meshed with one side of the rack. A clamping mechanism is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting base.

[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that: one end of the gear is driven and connected to a motor, and one end of the motor is fixedly connected to a connecting block, and the motor drives the gear to rotate.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that: a mounting base is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block, a limiting sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting base, a sliding column is slidably connected to the surface of the limiting sleeve, and the mounting base moves on the sliding column through the limiting sleeve.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that the clamping mechanism includes a motor, the motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting base, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a connecting sleeve, one end of the connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to a placement plate, the surface of the placement plate is provided with a slot, the support plate moves on the slot, thereby driving the clamping plate to adjust according to the size of the wafer.

[0012] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a movable frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement tray, a movable groove is provided inside the movable frame, and a movable block is movably connected inside the movable groove. A rotating bolt drives the support plate and the movable block to move inside the movable groove.

[0013] A further improvement of the present invention is that: a support plate is fixedly connected to one end of the movable block, a rotating bolt is threadedly connected to the surface of the support plate, a rotating motor is driven to one end of the rotating bolt, the support plate is movably connected to the surface of the slot, and the support plate moves on the slot.

[0014] A further improvement of this utility model is that: a placement groove is provided on the surface of the support plate, an electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected inside the placement groove, a clamping plate is fixedly connected to one end of the electric telescopic rod, and a pressing block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping plate. The pressing block is used to strengthen the clamping plate's clamping of the wafer. The motor drives the placement disk at one end of the connecting sleeve to rotate, which facilitates the processing of the wafer.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technological progress achieved by this utility model compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model provides a wafer processing fixture. When the motor is started, the motor drives the gear to rotate. The gear meshes and moves on the rack, thereby driving the mounting seat on one side of the connecting block to move back and forth. The mounting seat is limited to move by a limiting sleeve on the sliding column. The mounting seat drives the clamping mechanism to move back and forth, thereby facilitating flexible processing of the wafer and improving the wafer processing efficiency.

[0017] 2. This utility model provides a wafer processing fixture. The wafer is placed on a placement tray, and a rotating motor is driven to rotate a rotating bolt. The rotating bolt causes a support plate and a moving block to move inside a moving slot. The support plate moves at the slot opening, thereby causing the clamping plate to adjust according to the size of the wafer. When the adjustment is to a suitable position, an electric telescopic rod is activated, which causes the clamping plate to descend and fix the wafer on the placement tray. A pressing block is used to reinforce the clamping plate's grip on the wafer. The motor drives the placement tray at one end of the connecting sleeve to rotate, facilitating wafer processing.

The adjustment mechanism 2 includes a connecting plate 20 and a mounting base 25. The connecting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support base 1. A rack 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 20. A gear 22 is meshed with one side of the rack 21.

[0025] Specifically, the motor 23 is started, which drives the gear 22 to rotate.
