Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wafer processing platform technology, specifically to an adjustable wafer thinning support platform. Background Technology
[0002] A wafer thinning machine, also known as a wafer grinding machine, is a specialized piece of equipment used for the fine processing of semiconductor wafer surfaces. It removes one or more layers of material from the wafer surface through a grinding process, thereby reducing the wafer's thickness and improving its process adaptability and surface quality. During processing, the wafer to be ground is precisely clamped on a worktable, its horizontal movement controlled by the feed axis, while a rotary axis drives the wafer to rotate. The grinding head carries the grinding disc and abrasive particles. As the grinding disc rotates, the abrasive particles, aided by grinding fluid, grind the wafer surface, achieving the thinning effect.
[0003] In the process of wafer thinning, the high precision requirements of the thinning machine's support platform and the high technical skills required of the operators, coupled with the potential for flatness errors during long-term operation, can lead to uneven thickness of the wafer after thinning, affecting the overall processing accuracy. Existing technologies involve cumbersome leveling procedures for the support platform base, resulting in low leveling efficiency and long downtime. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a wafer thinning adjustable support platform, including a support base 2. The three corners of the support base 2 are fixedly installed on the bed frame 1 by a three-point positioning method. One positioning point on the support base 2 is fixedly connected to the bed frame 1 by a fixing fastener 8. The other two positioning points on the support base 2 are fixedly connected to the bed frame 1 by an adjustable leveling component 9. The adjustable leveling component 9 includes a central stud 91 and a mating part 92. The central stud 91 passes through the mating part 92 and is threadedly connected to the bed frame 1. The mating part 92 is threadedly connected to the central stud 91. By screwing the mating part 92, the support base 2 can move vertically along the central stud 91.
[0023] This utility model uses a three-point positioning method to install the support platform base 2, with one of the positioning points being fixed. When leveling the support platform base 2 is required, the flatness of the entire base can be quickly adjusted by adjusting the other two positioning points. Through the central stud 91 and the mating part 92, during leveling, turning the mating part 92 causes the support platform base 2 to move vertically along the central stud 91. By adjusting the flatness at the two positioning points, the flatness of the entire support platform base 2 can be adjusted. The entire leveling process is convenient and quick, the leveling structure design is simple, and it can improve processing and production efficiency.
[0024] Reference Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, a worktable 3 is rotatably arranged on the support base 2. A suction cup 4 is mounted on the worktable 3, and an air channel communicating with the suction cup 4 is arranged within the inner cavity of the worktable 3. An air slip ring 5 is connected to and fixedly mounted on the lower part of the worktable 3. A drive motor 7 is installed on the lower part of the air slip ring 5. The drive motor 7 drives the worktable 3 and the suction cup 4 to rotate via the air slip ring 5. A slip ring protective cover 6 is provided on the support base 2, covering the outside of the air slip ring 5. Through the air slip ring 5, negative pressure introduced from the outside can enter the suction cup 4 through the air channel on the worktable 3, thereby causing the suction cup 4 to perform negative pressure adsorption on the workpiece. The drive motor 7 below drives the air slip ring 5 to rotate the worktable 3, which in turn rotates the workpiece to be processed for grinding.
[0025] In this embodiment, the suction cup 4 is made of microporous ceramic, and the bed support 1 is made of mineral casting. The suction cup 4 is a ceramic microporous suction cup 4, and its working principle is based on its porous structure. The porous ceramic suction cup 4 contains a large number of tiny pores, which can be open or closed, and the pore size is generally in the micrometer or submicrometer range. When the external pressure changes, these micropores will adsorb or release air, thereby generating suction or thrust. Specifically, when the external pressure decreases, air is drawn into the micropores, forming a negative pressure, causing the suction cup 4 to adhere to the planar surface; when the external pressure increases, air is released from the micropores, and the suction cup 4 detaches from the surface. The microporous ceramic suction cup 4 has advantages such as high temperature resistance, wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, easy regeneration, and excellent thermal shock resistance. The bed support 1 uses materials such as mineral casting, which has the characteristics of high precision, high stability, and high strength. It also has shock absorption properties, which is beneficial to improving the dynamic stability and machining accuracy of the machine tool and extending its service life.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a locking nut 94 is threadedly connected to the lower part of the intermediate stud 91. The locking nut 94 is used to limit and lock the lower end of the mating part 92. By setting the locking nut 94, after the flatness of the bearing platform base 2 is adjusted by the mating part 92, the movement of the mating part 92 is limited, which can improve the stability of the bearing platform base 2 during the processing and prevent displacement along the direction of the intermediate stud 91.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in this embodiment, an adjusting nut 93 is threadedly connected to the upper part of the intermediate stud 91. The adjusting nut 93 is snapped into the upper part of the mating part 92, and the rotation of the adjusting nut 93 and the mating part 92 is synchronized. The adjusting nut 93 allows personnel to quickly level the support platform base 2 by turning the adjusting nut 93 through the mating part 92.
[0028] Reference Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the upper part of the mating part 92 is provided with a protrusion 95, and the lower part of the adjusting nut 93 is provided with a mating opening 96 that engages with the protrusion 95. The protrusion 95 and the mating opening 96 facilitate quick and easy engagement and fixation of the adjusting nut 93 and the mating part 92, allowing for rapid tightening of the mating part 92 via the adjusting nut 93.
