[0021] An adjustable semiconductor wafer electroplating clamp, comprising a clamp body 1 for clamping the wafer and an electric suction cup 2 for fixing the wafer, the electric suction cup 2 is arranged at the middle position of the clamp body 1, a centering clamp assembly 3 is arranged at the front side of the clamp body 1, the centering clamp assembly 3 comprises a fixed block 31, a bidirectional threaded rod 32, a moving plate 33, an arc plate 34, a guide rod 35 and a rotating block 36, the arc plate 34 is closely attached to the front side of the clamp body 1, the moving plates 33 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the arc plate 34, the guide rod 35 penetrates through the middle of the two moving plates 33, the bidirectional threaded rods 32 are threadedly connected to the inner sides of the other two moving plates 33, the fixed blocks 31 are arranged on the two sides of the guide rod 35 and the bidirectional threaded rod 32, the rotating block 36 is arranged on one side of one of the fixed blocks 31, the centering clamp assembly 3 is arranged, so that the wafer can be quickly placed in the center, avoiding the tedious process of manual adjustment, and the fixed assembly 5 is arranged, facilitating the installation of the centering clamp assembly 3.
[0022] The two ends of the guide rod 35 are fixedly connected to two of the fixing blocks 31, and one end of the bidirectional threaded rod 32 is fixedly connected to one of the fixing blocks 31, which facilitates the use of the bidirectional threaded rod 32. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod 32 passes through one of the fixing blocks 31 and is fixedly connected to the rotating block 36. An arc-shaped rubber layer 4 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the arc plate 34, which facilitates the use of the rotating block 36 and makes it less likely to damage the edge of the arc plate 34 when it is close to the wafer. A fixing component 5 is provided on one side of the fixing block 31. The fixing component 5 includes a spring telescopic rod 51, a fixing frame 52, a hand-tightening bolt 53 and a bonding block 54, which facilitates the installation of the centering clamp component 3. A spring telescopic rod 51 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing block 31, a fixing frame 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the spring telescopic rod 51, a hand-tightening bolt 53 is threadedly connected to one side of the fixing frame 52, and a bonding block 54 is fixedly connected to one end of the hand-tightening bolt 53, which facilitates the use of the bonding block 54.
[0023] Workflow: During operation, the equipment is powered by an external power source. When using the adjustable semiconductor wafer electroplating fixture, the centering fixture assembly 3 must first be installed. This involves the user clamping the fixing frame 52 onto the outside of the side plate of the electroplating tank, then rotating the hand-tightening bolt 53 to one side, causing the contact block 54 to move towards the side plate of the electroplating tank until it is tightly fitted, thus completing the installation of the centering fixture assembly 3. The spring telescopic rod 51 is suitable for electroplating tanks of different widths. Next, the wafer to be electroplated is placed on the surface of the fixture body 1, specifically in front of the electric suction cup 2, between the two arc-shaped plates 34. Then, the user controls the bidirectional threaded rod 32 to rotate to one side by holding the outer side of the rotating block 36. During rotation, because two of the moving plates 33 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 32, these two moving plates... The 33-axis moves the arc-shaped plate 34 toward the wafer, while the other two moving plates 33 slide outside the guide rod 35. During rotation, the two arc-shaped plates 34 gradually approach the wafer until the rubber layer 4 and the wafer are tightly attached, completing the centering. At this time, the electric suction cup 2 is activated to fix the wafer position. Then, the rotating block 36 is rotated in the opposite direction to control the two arc-shaped plates 34 to move in the opposite direction until they are away from the fixture body 1. At this time, the pressure plate of the electroplating device presses down, moving the fixture body 1 and the wafer toward the bottom of the electroplating tank until the wafer is completely in the electroplating solution, allowing for the next operation. The centering fixture component 3 facilitates the quick centering of the wafer, avoiding the tedious process of manual adjustment. The fixing component 5 facilitates the installation of the centering fixture component 3.
