[0002] Silicon wafers, also known as silicon tessellation wafers or silicon wafer wafers, are an important material for manufacturing integrated circuits. As a crucial substrate material, silicon wafers require multiple processing steps. Among these, the grooving process is a vital step in silicon wafer manufacturing, used to form grooves of specific depth and width on the silicon wafer to meet the requirements of subsequent processes. To improve wafer grooving efficiency, laser grooving equipment is often used. Although the laser grooving equipment currently in use can meet normal grooving requirements, it still has shortcomings in practical use. For example, the loading and unloading of the current laser grooving equipment is inconvenient. After grooving the wafer, it is not easy to quickly load and unload the wafer, resulting in slow loading and unloading speeds and low production efficiency. Improvements are needed. Therefore, a laser grooving equipment for wafer production is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0041] In this embodiment: by setting up a turntable 3 and a wafer positioning slot 4, the wafer to be slotted can be easily positioned and fixed.

[0042] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, the wafer to be slotted is placed in one of the four wafer positioning slots 4. One wafer positioning slot 4 is moved below the laser cutting machine 10. The laser cutting machine 10 is started to slot the surface of the wafer. Then, the control switches for the first electric cylinder 9 and the servo motor 701 are activated. The first electric cylinder 9 drives the laser cutting machine 10 to move back and forth, while the servo motor 701 drives the laser cutting machine 10 to move left and right via the threaded rod 702, the threaded sleeve 703, and the vertical plate 8. This allows the laser cutting machine 10 to perform slotting processing on all sides of the wafer surface. When the slotting of the wafer below the laser cutting machine 10 is completed and loading and unloading are required, the control switch for the drive motor 501 is activated. The drive motor 501 drives the drive gear 502. The drive gear 502 rotates, driving the driven gear 503 to rotate, which in turn drives the column 2 to rotate. The column 2 then drives the turntable 3 to rotate, causing the wafers processed in the wafer positioning slot 4 to rotate horizontally. This moves the slotted wafers away from below the laser cutter 10, completing the unloading process. Simultaneously, it can move wafers to be processed below the laser cutter 10, completing the loading process. When the processed wafers move above the push plate 12, the control switch of the second electric cylinder 11 is activated. The second electric cylinder 11 drives the push plate 12 to move upward, which in turn moves the wafers upward, pushing out the slotted wafers. The operator can then remove the wafers and place new wafers on top. This method allows for rapid wafer unloading and loading, resulting in high production efficiency.
[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
