[0002] Wafer refers to the silicon wafer used for the manufacture of silicon semiconductor integrated circuit, since its shape is circular, it is called wafer, and usually the opposite two edges of wafer are provided with straight notches. Various circuit element structures can be processed and manufactured on the silicon wafer, and the wafer becomes an IC product with specific electrical properties. The raw material of the wafer is silicon. During wafer processing, the wafer needs to be cleaned. During cleaning, the wafer is usually cleaned by an ultrasonic cleaning device.
[0003] A semiconductor wafer ultrasonic cleaning machine is disclosed in the prior art patent CN222020247U. The cleaning machine main body is provided with a water inlet pipe on the right side, a water outlet pipe on the left side, and a protective door hinged on the left side of the cleaning machine main body.

[0012] Further, the surface of the clamping plate body is symmetrically provided with two inward strip-shaped grooves, the inner lower end of the strip-shaped groove is provided with an annular inner edge blocking portion, and a through hole corresponding to the strip-shaped groove is formed on the surface of the base plate. The strip-shaped groove and the through hole are connected by screw and nut, and the relative position between the strip-shaped groove and the through hole can be adjusted to change the distance between the two clamping plate bodies, so as to realize the clamping effect of wafers of different sizes. The inner edge blocking portion in the strip-shaped groove is designed to hide the installation of the screw.
[0013] Further, a soft pad layer is arranged at the angle position between the clamping plate body and the stepped resting portion. The design of the soft pad layer is to form clamping protection for the wafer and avoid excessive clamping deformation of the notch of the wafer edge by the clamping plate body.
[0014] Further, the lifting frame includes a pair of lifting rods and a cross beam connected between the top ends of the pair of lifting rods. The design of the lifting frame is to facilitate labor saving.

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0023] The utility model embodiment provides a kind of cleaning carrier, to solve the technical problem proposed in background art.
[0024] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 And Figure 3 . The cleaning carrier includes a horizontal substrate 1, a cross type spacer 2 is arranged on the top surface of the substrate 1, the surface of the substrate 1 is divided into four mounting areas by the arrangement of the cross type spacer 2; the cross type spacer 2 has four branch bodies 21 distributed in cross shape, the center of the cross type spacer 2 coincides with the center of the substrate 1, and the height symmetry design can bring visual balance and stability first, and secondly can make the substrate more stable, realize better wafer placement balance; the substrate 1 is square, the branch body 21 of the cross type spacer 2 is perpendicular to the side edge of the substrate 1, which ensures that there is sufficient space for clamping wafers in the mounting area on the substrate surface.
[0025] A plurality of leakage holes 11 are formed on the surface of the substrate 1, which are evenly distributed on the four mounting areas to form a better liquid leakage effect and ensure that the bottom surface of the wafer can be cleaned by ultrasonic waves.
[0026] Each of the four mounting areas of the substrate 1 is provided with a clamping plate body 3, and there are four clamping plate bodies 3. The clamping plate body 3 is movably connected to the surface of the substrate 1 by screws, that is, two inward strip grooves 32 are symmetrically formed on the surface of the clamping plate body 3. An annular inner edge stop 33 is arranged at the inner bottom of the strip groove 32. The inner edge stop 33 in the strip groove 32 is designed to hide the installation of the screw, and a through hole 12 corresponding to the strip groove 32 is formed on the surface of the substrate 1. The strip groove and the through hole are connected by screw nut mode, so that the distance between the left and right clamping plate bodies can be changed by adjusting the relative position between the strip groove and the through hole, so as to realize the clamping effect of the two sides of the wafer of different sizes.
[0027] Among them, the left and right clamping plate bodies 3 are a pair, and the inner sides of the left and right clamping plate bodies 3 are oppositely arranged. The inner side of the clamping plate body 3 extends outward at the lower part to form a stepped resting part 31, which is used to place the edge of the wafer, that is, the two side edges of the wafer are placed on the stepped resting parts on the left and right sides, and then the inner side of the left and right clamping plate bodies is used to form the clamping effect of the two side edges of the wafer. The middle of two outer sides of the substrate is outwardly arranged as a bracket, which facilitates the delivery of the cleaning carrier into the cleaning tank of the ultrasonic cleaner through the bracket, and also facilitates the removal, thereby improving the efficiency.
[0028] Based on the above scheme, the cleaning work of two wafers can be realized at the same time, and the left and right clamping plate bodies form a stable clamping effect on the two side edges of the wafer, which ensures the stability of the wafer during ultrasonic cleaning, and further improves the cleaning efficiency and prevents the wafer from being bumped or damaged.
[0029] In this embodiment, one side edge of the clamping plate body 3 can abut against one of the support bodies 21, and the inner side of the clamping plate body 3 is parallel and spaced apart from the other adjacent support body 21. In this way, the clamping surface of the clamping plate body can always be horizontal, better matching the edge cut of the wafer, and ensuring the clamping tightness of the wafer.
[0030] Among them, the thickness of the support body 21 is consistent with the thickness of the stepped resting part 31. When the two side edges of the wafer are just placed on the stepped resting part, the middle position of the bottom end of the wafer can also be well matched with the top surface of the support body, thereby forming a good supporting effect on the wafer and making the wafer balanced.

Moreover, the reserved recess 13 is arranged in the middle of the outer side of the substrate 1 and recessed inwardly, and the bottom end side of the lifting rod 41 is arranged in the reserved recess 13 by welding. The abnormal protrusion of the connecting position between the lifting frame and the substrate is avoided.
[0033] It should be noted that the substrate 1, the cross-shaped spacer 2, the clamping plate body 3 and the lifting frame 4 are all made of Teflon material. In this way, the chemical corrosion resistance of the cleaning carrier is improved, the stability is good, and the service life is prolonged.
[0034] The above only describes some embodiments of the present application. For those skilled in the art, without departing from the inventive concept, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
