Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip processing technology, and in particular to a coating and cleaning module for laser processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the semiconductor industry, the integration of chips is constantly increasing, and the requirements for wafer manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly stringent. In the semiconductor dicing process, the coating and cleaning platform plays an increasingly important role in ensuring dicing quality and subsequent product performance. Typically, before dicing, the product is sprayed with deionized water or other solutions to clean the surface, removing dust particles, metal impurities, and other contaminants. Subsequently, a protective liquid is evenly coated onto the wafer surface to prevent scratches from debris generated during dicing, while also increasing wafer strength, reducing the risk of wafer cracking, and further improving chip quality and yield. A spin coating method is usually used, controlling the rotation speed and time to achieve the required coating thickness.

[0003] Extensive searching revealed a Chinese patent publication number, CN217432156U, which discloses an integrated coating and cleaning machine. From top to bottom, it comprises a stainless steel outer shell, a chassis, and a base plate. A main shaft rotation mechanism is positioned in the center of the chassis along the Z-axis. From bottom to top, the main shaft rotation mechanism includes a main shaft rotation motor, a platform transfer base plate, and a high-speed adsorption rotating platform. A first swing arm and a second swing arm are respectively installed inside the stainless steel outer shell on both sides of the main shaft rotation mechanism along the Y-axis. This design integrates coating and cleaning into a single device, reducing handling. The coating and cleaning speeds are adjustable to ensure uniformity. Furthermore, this invention utilizes a platform lifting cylinder to transport the processed products outside the equipment for further handling, allowing a single machine to handle different functions and products.

[0004] In summary, the problems with the existing technology are as follows:

[0005] 1. Because the entire rotating stage needs to adsorb products through vacuum, a self-made hollow rotating air shaft is used between the rotating stage and the motor. Although the hollow air shaft is sealed with an oil seal to prevent vacuum leakage, the oil seal's lifespan is not long enough during prolonged high-speed rotation, and its stability is average. Furthermore, as a consumable, the oil seal is cumbersome to replace, requiring the removal of many parts. Subsequently, a standard magnetic fluid was used to replace the central shaft, which improved stability. However, the magnetic fluid has requirements for the gas pressure passing through it, requiring the use of a pressure reducing valve, and its overall size and weight are also larger.

[0006] 2. In existing coating cleaning processes, two cylinders drive a spring-loaded roller shutter to seal the cavity. Due to the extremely high humidity inside the cavity, the cylinders have a short lifespan in humid environments.

[0007] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the designer has actively researched and innovated in order to create a coating and cleaning module for laser processing equipment, making it more valuable for industrial applications. Utility Model Content

[0008] To solve any of the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a coating and cleaning module for laser processing equipment.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] The laser processing equipment coating and cleaning module includes, from bottom to top, a base plate, a chassis, and a stainless steel shell.

[0011] A hollow motor is installed at the bottom of the chassis below the adsorption rotary stage. A high-speed slip ring is installed inside the hollow motor. The drive end at the top of the hollow motor is connected to the adsorption rotary stage above through the high-speed slip ring.

[0012] A lifting cylinder is installed on one side of the bottom of the chassis. After passing through the chassis, the lifting cylinder drives the suction rotating platform above to move vertically.

[0013] Cleaning swing arms and adhesive application swing arms are respectively installed on the chassis on both sides of the adsorption rotating platform. Swing arm motor drive modules are installed on the chassis below the cleaning swing arms and adhesive application swing arms.

[0014] An acrylic telescopic gate is installed on the top outer side of the stainless steel shell. Telescopic cylinders are installed on the stainless steel shell on the front and back sides below the acrylic telescopic gate. The telescopic cylinders drive the acrylic telescopic gate above to move in the left and right directions.

The swing arm motor is mounted on the bottom of the chassis via a swing arm bracket, and the drive end at the top of the swing arm motor is connected to the cleaning swing arm or the gluing swing arm above it via the swing arm coupling.

[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, a ventilation and drainage pipe is installed on one side of the stainless steel shell.

[0018] As a further improvement of this utility model, linear bearing guide rods distributed along the left and right directions are installed on the stainless steel shells on both the front and rear sides of the acrylic telescopic gate, and the acrylic telescopic gate moves in the left and right directions under the action of the linear bearing guide rods.

[0019] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom cover on one side of the hollow motor is connected to the chassis by a drag chain, and an origin sensor is installed on the bottom cover.

[0020] As a further improvement of this utility model, several claws are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the top of the adsorption rotating platform.

[0021] As a further improvement of this utility model, a waterproof cover is installed on the chassis outside the adsorption rotating platform.

[0022] As a further improvement of this utility model, a vent pipe is installed at the bottom of the high-speed slip ring.

[0023] By means of the above solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0024] This invention features a hollow motor and a high-speed slip ring, resulting in better overall integration, a more compact and lightweight design, and the hollow motor can be neatly concealed within the central shaft. Compared to the original rotating part, the height of the rotating part in the existing solution is significantly reduced, greatly improving stability.

[0025] This invention optimizes the coated acrylic telescopic door by placing the telescopic cylinder outside the outer cover, which greatly reduces the possibility of the cylinder getting damp and also reduces costs.

[0036] like Figures 1-4As shown, a coating and cleaning module for laser processing equipment includes, from bottom to top, a base plate, a chassis 12, and a stainless steel outer shell 5. The chassis 12 is mounted on the base plate via several support columns 6. An adsorption rotating platform 2 is installed in the center of the stainless steel outer shell 5, and several claws 16 are evenly distributed along the circumference on the top of the adsorption rotating platform 2. A ventilation and drainage pipe 13 is installed on one side of the stainless steel outer shell 5. A waterproof cover 17 is installed on the chassis 12 outside the adsorption rotating platform 2. A hollow motor 18 is installed at the bottom of the chassis 12 below the adsorption rotating platform 2, and a high-speed slip ring 20 is installed inside the hollow motor 18. The drive end of the top of the hollow motor 18 is connected to the adsorption rotating platform 2 above through the high-speed slip ring 20. A vent pipe 19 is installed at the bottom of the high-speed slip ring 20. The high-speed slip ring 20 supports a maximum speed of 10,000 rpm and can achieve a stable high-speed rotation of 3,000 rpm, which greatly improves the coating effect and stability. In specific situations, it can meet the high-speed rotation of 5,000 rpm, which enhances the ability to develop new processes.

[0037] A lifting cylinder 10 is installed on one side of the bottom of the chassis 12. After passing through the chassis 12, the lifting cylinder 10 drives the suction rotating platform 2 above to move vertically. Several sliding guide rods 8 are installed at the bottom of the chassis 12 through sliding guide rod sleeves, which are distributed vertically. The top of the sliding guide rods 8 is installed at the bottom of the suction rotating platform 2, and a limit fixing ring 8 is installed at the bottom of the sliding guide rods 8.

[0038] The bottom cover 22 on one side of the hollow motor 18 is connected to the chassis 12 by a drag chain 15, and the origin sensor 21 is installed on the bottom cover 22.

[0039] A cleaning swing arm 1 and an adhesive application swing arm 3 are respectively installed on the chassis 12 on both sides of the adsorption rotary stage 2. A swing arm motor drive module is installed on the chassis 12 below the cleaning swing arm 1 and the adhesive application swing arm 3. The swing arm motor drive module includes a swing arm motor 9 and a swing arm coupling 11. The swing arm motor 9 is installed at the bottom of the chassis 12 through a swing arm bracket. The drive end at the top of the swing arm motor 9 is connected to the cleaning swing arm 1 or the adhesive application swing arm 3 above through the swing arm coupling 11.

[0040] An acrylic telescopic gate 4 is installed on the top outer side of the stainless steel shell 5. A telescopic cylinder 14 is installed on the stainless steel shell 5 on the front and rear sides below the acrylic telescopic gate 4. The telescopic cylinder 14 drives the acrylic telescopic gate 4 above to move in the left and right directions.

[0041] Linear bearing guide rods distributed along the left and right directions are installed on the stainless steel shells 5 on both the front and rear sides of the acrylic telescopic gate 4. The acrylic telescopic gate 4 moves in the left and right directions under the action of the linear bearing guide rods.

[0042] The positional and connection relationships between the components of this utility model are as follows:

[0043] The cleaning swing arm 1, the adhesive application swing arm 3, and the lifting cylinder 10 are mounted on the chassis 12, which is fixed to three support columns 6. The high-speed adsorption rotating platform 2, the lifting cylinder 10, and three sliding guide rods 7 are connected. Limiting rings 8 are installed on the sliding guide rods. The stainless steel shell 5 is then fixed to the chassis 13, and the acrylic telescopic door 4 and the ventilation and drainage pipe 13 are connected to the stainless steel shell 5. The top of the hollow motor 18 is connected to the adsorption rotating platform 2 and the rotating part of the high-speed slip ring 20 via a flange. The bottom of the high-speed slip ring 20 is connected to the ventilation pipe 19.

[0044] The working principle and process of this utility model:

[0045] First, under the action of the lifting cylinder 10 and the sliding guide rod 7, the adsorption rotating platform 2 is raised to receive the product. At this time, the vacuum negative pressure is transmitted through the vent pipe 19 to the high-speed slip ring 20 and finally to the adsorption rotating platform 2. When there is product, the adsorption rotating platform 2 forms a sealed cavity. After reaching the specified negative pressure value, the lifting cylinder 10 controls the entire adsorption rotating platform 2 to descend. After descending to the bottom, the acrylic telescopic door 4 is closed by the cylinder. During the coating process, the hollow motor 18 rotates at high speed, thereby driving the adsorption rotating platform 2 to rotate together. At the same time, the top of the high-speed slip ring 20 also rotates together. Then, the coating swing arm motor 9 rotates to drive the glue application swing arm 3 to complete the spraying of the protective liquid under the corresponding process parameters. After the coating is completed, the next processing step can be carried out. After the processing is completed, the equipment is cleaned under the corresponding parameters. During the cleaning process, the external exhaust air is discharged through the ventilation drain pipe 13 to remove the water mist and prevent water mist from splashing and causing damage to other equipment.

[0046] This invention, through the structural design of a hollow motor and a high-speed slip ring, achieves better overall integration, making it more compact and lightweight. The hollow motor can be perfectly concealed within the central shaft. Compared to the original rotating part, the height of the rotating part in existing solutions is significantly reduced, greatly improving stability. By optimizing the coated acrylic telescopic door and placing the telescopic cylinder outside the outer casing, the possibility of the cylinder getting damp is greatly reduced, while simultaneously lowering costs.
