An adsorption structure is provided on the first disk 1, and the adsorption structure is connected to a vacuum conveying end. The vacuum conveying end delivers a vacuum, which is used to adsorb and fix the iron ring through the adsorption structure. This method is suitable for detecting the front (front end) side of the iron ring on a 6-inch compound wafer. Compared to existing technologies that cannot adsorb and fix the iron ring and have poor stability, the adsorption structure of this application can stably fix the iron ring, ensuring its transport stability and high safety. Furthermore, its special design allows for easy handling of the iron ring by an arm, reducing the risk of wafer damage due to arm handling errors.
[0037] The adsorption structure comprises a first vacuum groove 5 and a first bearing ring 101. The bottom end face of the first disc 1 is provided with the first vacuum groove 5. The upper end face of the first disc 1 is fixedly connected with the first bearing ring 101. The first bearing ring 101 is provided with a plurality of micropores. The micropores are communicated with the first vacuum groove 5. The iron ring 2 is adsorbed and fixed through the first vacuum groove 5. The iron ring has high stability and is convenient for further detection.

[0039] The adsorption structure further comprises a negative pressure adsorption assembly 102. The top end face of the first disc 1 is connected with a plurality of negative pressure adsorption assemblies 102. The first disc 1 is fixedly connected with the first bearing ring 101. The height of the negative pressure adsorption assembly 102 matches the height of the stopper 103. The bottom of the iron ring 2 is conveniently carried.
[0040] The plurality of negative pressure adsorption assemblies 102 and the plurality of stoppers 103 are distributed on the plurality of end faces of the first disc 1. The arm can be adapted, and the iron ring 2 is conveniently taken and placed on the upper end face of the stage adapter.
[0041] The size of the first disc 1, the plurality of negative pressure adsorption assemblies 102 and the plurality of stoppers 103 matches the iron ring of the 6-inch compound wafer. The iron ring of the 6-inch compound wafer can be adapted and fixed.
[0042] The top end faces of the negative pressure adsorption assembly 102 and the stopper 103 are in the same horizontal plane. The iron ring is conveniently fixed horizontally on the top end faces of the negative pressure adsorption assembly 102 and the stopper 103. The stability is high.

The bottom end face of the first silica gel suction nozzle 1021 is integrally formed with a suction pipe 1022.
[0044] The suction pipe 1022 is communicated with the first vacuum groove 5. The first silica gel suction nozzle 1021, the suction pipe 1022 and the second silica gel suction nozzle 1023 are communicated with each other. The vacuum conveying end is conveyed to the suction pipe 1022, the first silica gel suction nozzle 1021 and the second silica gel suction nozzle 1023 in sequence through the first vacuum groove 5. The iron ring 2 located above is adsorbed. After being fixed, the wafer detection is started.
[0045] Furthermore, the diameter of the first silicone nozzle 1021 gradually decreases from the middle end face to both end faces. The diameter of the second silicone nozzle 1023 gradually decreases from the top end face to the bottom end face. This facilitates the retainer 103 to adhere to the iron ring 2 and then strengthen its adsorption and fixation.
[0046] A first connecting plate 105 is bonded to one end face of the first disc 1, and a plurality of first grooves 104 are formed on the first disc 1.

The top end face of the outer cover 1031 abuts against the top end face of the top plate 1035, and the top plate 1035 matches the top end face of the outer cover 1031, with the outer cover 1031 sleeved on the top plate 1035.
[0049] Preferably, a friction pad is bonded to the upper side of the outer cover 1031 where it contacts the iron ring 2, and the top end face of the top plate 1035 where it contacts the outer cover 1031 is also a friction pad, so as to achieve better support and fixation for the iron ring 2.
[0050] A collar 1032 is fitted onto the outer end face of the base 1034. Multiple support columns 1033 are fixedly connected to the outer end face of the collar 1032. The support columns 1033 match the inner wall end face of the outer cover 1031. The support columns 1033 abut against the inner wall end face of the outer cover 1031 to fix the outer cover 1031 and at the same time ensure that the outer cover 1031 is not easily deformed.
[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, a pair of base plates 1036 are fixedly connected to the bottom end face of the base 1034, and the pair of base plates 1036 are arranged vertically on the base 1034.
[0052] The chassis 1036 located on the upper end face matches the bottom end face of the outer cover 1031, and the chassis 1036 located on the upper end face is attached to the bottom end face of the support column 1033. Multiple support columns 1033 are supported, improving the stability of the outer cover 1031 fitted onto the top plate 1035. The bottom end face of the outer cover 1031 fitted onto the top plate 1035 is attached to the chassis 1036 located on the upper end face.
[0053] Furthermore, the first disc 1 has a second threaded hole on the bottom end face of the base 1036, and the base 1036 and the base 1034 have a third threaded hole that matches the second threaded hole. The second threaded hole and the third threaded hole are connected by a bolt, and the limiter 103 is fixed on the first disc 1 by the bolt.
[0054] The first disk 1 has a pair of opposite end faces integrally formed with a first external plate 106, which facilitates the fixing of the whole on the wafer inspection machine.
[0055] Multiple first pins 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom end face of the first external board 106. The first pins 6 are inserted into the holes on the platform of the wafer inspection machine for positioning and fixation.
[0056] Example 2
[0057] like Figures 6-7 As shown, the first disk 1 is fixedly connected to a plurality of reinforcing ribs 703 on the outer end face of the first bearing ring 101 to improve the stability of the first bearing ring 101 fixed on the first disk 1. A pair of third external plates 702 are integrally formed on one side end face of the first disk 1 to adapt to the positioning detection of the back side of the iron ring of the 6-inch compound wafer.
[0058] A second pin 705 is fixedly connected to one end face of the third external board 702. The second pin 705 facilitates the fixation of the entire assembly onto the wafer inspection machine.
[0059] The first vacuum groove 5 consists of multiple polygons of different shapes, which are evenly distributed on the bottom end face of the first disk 1 and match the back of the iron ring of the 6-inch compound wafer. The first support ring 101 is used to fix and adsorb the wafer.

A support pad 701 is bonded to the top end of the threaded post, and the bottom end face of the iron ring 2 can be supported by the support pad 701.
[0061] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that Example 1 is used to inspect the front side of the iron ring 2, while Example 2 is used to inspect the back side of the iron ring 2.
[0062] Both Example 2 and Example 1 use a first bearing ring 101 and a first vacuum groove 5. The size of the first disk 1 and the first bearing ring 101 is adapted to the iron ring of a 6-inch compound wafer. However, the adsorption structure of Example 1 adds a negative pressure adsorption component 102. Furthermore, Example 1 uses multiple limiters 103 to better support and fix the iron ring 2, while Example 2 uses a support pad 701 to better support and fix the iron ring 2.

The third embodiment is used for fixing the iron ring of the 8-inch compound wafer, while the first and second embodiments are used for fixing the iron ring of the 6-inch compound wafer.
[0066] In use, the arm inserts the iron ring 2 into the inner wall end face of the stage adapter, and under the special design of the adsorption structure and the first bearing ring 101, the iron ring 2 can be quickly inserted into the stage adapter for conveying to the top end face of the first bearing ring 101, and after the adsorption structure starts to convey negative pressure to adsorb and fix the iron ring 2, the next step of detecting the wafer is started.
