In order to meet production needs, the requirements for the size and parameters of silicon wafers are becoming more stringent. As a supporting product, large-size silicon component products are also facing the challenge of continuous updates and replacements in size and parameters.
[0003] In the testing stage after polishing and cleaning large-diameter silicon wafers, the quality and sealing of the packaging cassettes are crucial to determining the wafer's quality. Traditional cassette packaging is primarily designed for IC-grade silicon wafers. For large-size wafers, issues with the sealing and quality of the cassettes during transport can easily affect data testing. Furthermore, changes in ambient temperature and the temperature of the silicon wafer itself can also significantly impact the data.
[0004] The design of this utility model aims to solve the sealing and stability problems of large-diameter annular silicon wafers during transmission or transportation. It uses a clamping plate to position the large-diameter annular silicon wafer and a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature change of the silicon wafer, thus avoiding the impact of contamination, damage, and temperature changes on the detection of the silicon wafer and improving the accuracy of detection of large-size silicon wafers.

[0010] Multiple fixed supports are evenly distributed along the circumference of the lower box layer, and the lower end of each fixed support is screwed to the lower box layer by threads.
[0011] One end of the clamping plate is screwed onto the upper end of the fixed support through a thread, and the other end is arc-shaped with its top contacting the outer peripheral surface of the silicon wafer, and a temperature sensor is provided at the contact point.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this does not imply any limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the large-diameter circular annular silicon wafer test packaging cassette of this utility model includes an upper cover layer 1, a lower cassette layer 2, supporting foam 3, fixing pillars 4, a clamping sheet 5, a temperature sensor 6, and a temperature display 7. The upper cover layer 1 and the lower cassette layer 2 are fitted together to form a closed cassette main structure. For a direct view of the cassette structure, Figure 1 The display shows the state before the upper cover layer 1 and the lower box layer 2 are fitted together. After fitting together, the upper cover layer 1 and the lower box layer 2 can be completely closed. The upper cover layer 1 is cylindrical and made of epoxy resin, primarily used to seal the wafer cassette. The lower box layer 2 is also cylindrical and made of epoxy resin, primarily used to support the silicon wafer. The supporting foam 3 is composed of stacked and inlaid annular and cylindrical foams, detachably installed in the lower box layer. The diameter of the cylindrical foam is the same as the inner diameter of the silicon wafer. The cylindrical foam is inserted into the inner circle of the large-diameter annular silicon wafer, facilitating wafer positioning and adapting to changes in wafer size by adjusting the foam diameter; the annular foam supports the silicon wafer. Three fixing pillars 4 are evenly distributed at three positions along the circumference of the lower box layer. Each fixing pillar has threads at both ends, with the lower end screwed tightly onto the lower box layer via the threads.
[0026] One end of the clamping plate 5 is screwed onto the upper end of the fixing support 4, while the other end is arc-shaped with its top in direct contact with the outer peripheral surface of the silicon wafer. The clamping plate 5 is wrapped with a rubber layer at least in the arc-shaped portion, elastically fixing the silicon wafer in place and preventing scratches. A temperature sensor 6 is located at the contact point between the clamping plate and the silicon wafer (i.e., the top of the arc-shaped portion). This temperature sensor is quadrilateral and without sharp edges to avoid damaging the silicon wafer. The temperature sensor 6 corresponds to a temperature display 7 located on the outside of the lower housing layer, transmitting temperature signals to the temperature display 7 to monitor changes in the silicon wafer temperature.
[0027] This utility model discloses a wafer cassette for testing and packaging large-diameter circular silicon wafers. The typical dimensions of each part of the cassette are as follows: the upper cover layer has a diameter of 430-440 mm, a height of 5-7 mm, and a cover thickness of 2-3 mm. The lower cassette layer has a diameter of 400-440 mm, a height of 15-18 mm, and a cassette thickness of 2-3 mm. The supporting foam includes a circular foam with a diameter of 428-438 mm, an inner diameter of 280-289 mm, and a foam thickness of 2-5 mm; and a cylindrical foam with a diameter of 280-289 mm and a height of 20-25 mm. The clamping sheet has a length of 80-85 mm and a width of 2-3 mm.
[0028] According to the above-mentioned large-diameter annular silicon wafer test packaging cassette of this utility model, the large-diameter annular silicon wafer is positioned by a clamping plate, and the temperature change of the silicon wafer is monitored by a temperature sensor. This avoids the impact of contamination, damage, and temperature changes on the test results, thereby improving the accuracy of testing large-size silicon wafers. The supporting foam adopts an embedded and detachable type, which not only effectively avoids damage to the silicon wafer during handling, but also allows for the replacement of the central cylindrical foam to accommodate changes in silicon wafer size. This utility model is easy to assemble in terms of structure, convenient and quick to install, and easy to operate, making it popular with operators.
