[0002] Silicon wafers, also known as silicon ingots, are processed from silicon ingots. Millions of transistors can be etched onto silicon wafers using specialized processes. According to patent authorization announcement number CN215493249U, a dual-station wafer defect inspection instrument is disclosed. This utility model discloses a dual-station wafer defect inspection instrument, including a base. A fixing block is fixedly installed at the top center of the base. A worktable is fixedly installed on the top of the fixing block. First placement stages are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the worktable. Second placement stages, matching the first placement stages, are slidably arranged on both sides of the middle position of the worktable. Protective pads are provided on the top of both the first and second placement stages. This utility model uses a second rotating handle to drive a gear to rotate, thereby causing the first and second L-shaped moving rods on the rack to open to both sides, thus simultaneously moving the bottom laser emitter.
[0003] However, the existing inspection stage uses a dual-station inspection method during wafer inspection, which is inefficient, and the smooth surface of the wafer makes it difficult to handle after clamping. Therefore, improvements to the existing technology are needed. Utility Model Content
