[0019] This utility model provides a semiconductor wafer processing clamping and flipping device, including a base 101 and a positioning clamping and flipping assembly. The positioning clamping and flipping assembly includes a mounting groove 120, a clamping table 105, a moving shaft 106, a rotary handle 107, a fixed disk 108, a rotating disk 109, clamping claws 110, a guide groove 111, a positioning hole 103, and a pin 104. This solution solves the problem that existing mechanical clamping devices cannot achieve precise flipping angle control, which can easily lead to wafer wobbling, displacement, or even damage during flipping, seriously affecting processing quality and production efficiency. It is understood that the aforementioned solution can stably fix the base 101 on the worktable of the semiconductor processing equipment, ensuring that the base 101 is horizontal. The base is stable, providing a solid support foundation for the entire device. The clamping platform 105 is then installed into the center of the mounting slot 120 inside the base 101 via a pre-designed disassembly and connection structure, ensuring a secure and accurate installation. The mounting slot 120 provides precise positioning space for the clamping platform 105. The fixing plate 108 is installed at the end of the moving shaft 106 away from the handle 107, and the fixing plate 108 is located at the center inside the base 101, ensuring smooth rotation of the fixing plate 108 and the moving shaft 106. Depending on the size of the wafer to be processed, the operator rotates the handle 107, causing the moving shaft 106 to rotate. Since the moving shaft 106 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 108... The fixed disk 108 also rotates, driving the rotating disk 109 connected to it to rotate. This adjusts the position of the clamping jaws 110 fixed on the side of the rotating disk 109 away from the fixed disk 108. Once the clamping jaws 110 are in the appropriate position, the semiconductor wafer is placed between the clamping jaws 110. The handle 107 is rotated again to clamp the wafer, ensuring it does not wobble or shift during processing. If the wafer needs to be flipped or its angle adjusted, the operator continues to rotate the handle 107. Through the transmission of the moving shaft 106, the fixed disk 108, and the rotating disk 109, the wafer is flipped. During the flipping process, when the desired position is reached... When the required angle is reached, positioning can be achieved using the positioning hole 103 and the pin 104. The positioning hole 103 is fixedly connected to the base 101, located inside the placement groove 120 and on one side of the clamping stage 105. The pin 104 is inserted into the positioning hole 103, located inside the base 101 and above the placement groove 120, thereby precisely fixing the angle between the clamping stage 105 and the wafer. This ensures angle stability during processing and avoids processing errors caused by angle changes. This effectively solves the problem that existing mechanical clamping devices cannot achieve precise flipping angle control, which can easily cause wafer shaking, displacement, or even damage during flipping, seriously affecting processing quality and production efficiency.

[0020] In this specific embodiment, the mounting groove 120 is fixedly connected to the base 101 and located at the internal center of the base 101. The clamping platform 105 is detachably connected to the base 101 and located inside the base 101. The clamping platform 105 is located at the internal center of the mounting groove 120. The moving shaft 106 is rotatably connected to the clamping platform 105 and located above the inside of the clamping platform 105. The handle 107 is rotatably connected to the moving shaft 106 and located at the end of the moving shaft 106 away from the clamping platform 105. The handle 107 is located on the upper side of the base 101. If it is necessary to flip the wafer or adjust its angle, the operator continues to rotate the handle 107. Through the transmission of the moving shaft 106, the fixed disk 108, and the rotating disk 109, the wafer flipping operation is realized.

[0021] The fixed disk 108 is rotatably connected to the moving shaft 106 and is located at the end of the moving shaft 106 away from the throttle 107, and the fixed disk 108 is disposed at the internal center of the base 101.

[0022] Secondly, the rotating disk 109 is rotatably connected to the fixed disk 108 and is located on the side of the fixed disk 108 away from the moving shaft 106. The clamping claw 110 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 109 and is located on the side of the rotating disk 109 away from the fixed disk 108. If it is necessary to flip the wafer or adjust its angle, the operator continues to rotate the handle 107. Through the transmission of the moving shaft 106, the fixed disk 108 and the rotating disk 109, the wafer flipping operation is realized.

[0023] Meanwhile, the guide groove 111 is fixedly connected to the base 101 and is located inside the lower part of the base 101, and the guide groove 111 is located below the clamping claw 110.

[0024] In addition, the positioning hole 103 is fixedly connected to the base 101 and located inside the base 101. The positioning hole 103 is also located inside the placement groove 120 and on one side of the clamping table 105. The pin 104 is detachably connected to the base 101 and located inside the base 101. The pin 104 is also located inside the positioning hole 103 and above the placement groove 120. After processing, the pin 104 is pulled out first, and then the handle 107 is rotated in the opposite direction to release the wafer from the clamping claw 110. Since the guide groove 111 is fixedly connected to the base 101 and located below the base 101 and below the clamping claw 110, the processing waste will slide down the guide groove 111 under gravity, making it convenient for the operator to collect and complete the entire processing process.

[0025] When using this utility model, the base 101 is stably fixed on the worktable of the semiconductor processing equipment, ensuring that the base 101 is horizontal and stable, providing a solid support foundation for the entire device. Then, the clamping table 105 is installed into the center position of the mounting groove 120 inside the base 101 through a preset disassembly and connection structure, ensuring that the installation is firm and the position is accurate. The mounting groove 120 provides precise positioning space for the clamping table 105. The fixing plate 108 is installed on the end of the moving shaft 106 away from the throttle 107, and the fixing plate 108 is located at the... The base 101 is positioned at its internal center to ensure smooth rotation of the fixed disk 108 and the moving shaft 106. Depending on the size of the wafer to be processed, the operator rotates the handle 107, causing the moving shaft 106 to rotate. Since the moving shaft 106 is rotatably connected to the fixed disk 108, the fixed disk 108 also rotates. The fixed disk 108 then drives the rotating disk 109, which is rotatably connected to it, to rotate. This adjusts the position of the clamping jaw 110, which is fixed to the side of the rotating disk 109 away from the fixed disk 108. Once the clamping jaw 110 is adjusted to the appropriate position, the wafer is... The semiconductor wafer is placed between the clamping jaws 110. The handle 107 is rotated again to clamp the wafer tightly, ensuring it does not wobble or shift during processing. If the wafer needs to be flipped or its angle adjusted, the operator continues to rotate the handle 107. Through the transmission of the moving shaft 106, the fixed disk 108, and the rotating disk 109, the wafer is flipped. During the flipping process, when the desired angle is reached, positioning is achieved using the positioning hole 103 and the pin 104. The positioning hole 103 is fixedly connected to the base 101. Located inside the mounting groove 120 and on one side of the clamping stage 105, the pin 104 is inserted into the positioning hole 103. The pin 104 is located inside the base 101 and above the mounting groove 120, thereby precisely fixing the angle between the clamping stage 105 and the wafer, ensuring angle stability during processing, and avoiding processing errors caused by angle changes. This effectively solves the problem that existing mechanical clamping devices cannot achieve precise flipping angle control, which easily leads to wafer shaking, displacement, or even damage during flipping, seriously affecting processing quality and production efficiency.
