Description

Technical Field

[0002] Wafer coating is a critical process in semiconductor manufacturing, referring to the uniform application of photoresist (a special polymer material) onto the surface of a wafer. Photoresist plays a crucial role in subsequent photolithography processes, transferring circuit patterns from the photomask to the wafer. Therefore, the quality of the coating directly affects the manufacturing precision and performance of the chip. Existing wafer coating equipment cannot scrape off and recycle excess photoresist from the wafer edges, resulting in excess photoresist flowing everywhere, causing waste and low recovery rates. Furthermore, during coating, the wafer is susceptible to being ejected from the worktable due to centrifugal force or other unexpected factors, posing a safety risk. Utility Model Content

[0031] Working principle: The wafer is placed on the vacuum chuck 17, and the vacuum pump 20 is started.
