Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor processing technology, and more specifically, to a wafer up-and-down polishing and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In the semiconductor cleaning industry, wafers are placed in cassettes and then into the cleaning tank of a cleaning machine for cleaning. Traditionally, cleaning machines involve placing the wafers in cassettes, which are then immersed in the cleaning tank for ultrasonic cleaning. However, this cleaning method is not very effective.
[0003] For example, patent announcement number CN 220208905 U discloses a cradle swing mechanism for a cleaning machine and a wafer cleaning machine, including a cleaning tank, a cradle assembly disposed within the cleaning tank, and a drive assembly disposed outside the cleaning tank that can drive the cradle assembly to swing. The cradle assembly includes a workpiece basket and a swing bracket. The drive assembly includes a motor, an eccentric shaft, a ball joint connecting rod, a swing shaft, and a swing bracket. The motor can drive the eccentric shaft to rotate through a gear set, and the eccentric shaft can drive the swing shaft to swing through the ball joint connecting rod. The swing shaft can drive the swing bracket and the swing bracket to swing, thereby realizing the swing of the workpiece basket. However, this mechanism has a complex structure and an unreasonable layout. In addition, the use of a linkage mechanism for transmission connection makes assembly inconvenient, prone to damage, and requires regular inspection and replacement, greatly increasing the workload.
