[0003] Currently, existing developing machine coating devices can only remove the coating material after application and then dry it or let it air dry naturally. The drying speed of the coating material is slow, and it is impossible to dry it quickly after coating.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a coating apparatus for semiconductor silicon wafer production to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] Based on the above ideas, this utility model provides the following technical solution: it includes an air blowing plate, the cross-sectional shape of which is set as an annular shape. The bottom end of the air blowing plate is connected to a plurality of nozzles arranged in an annular pattern. Both sides of the air blowing plate are connected to air outlet pipes. The end of the air outlet pipe away from the air blowing plate is connected to an air cylinder. A piston is sealed and slidably mounted inside the air cylinder. The piston is fixedly connected to a clamping plate. An electric push rod drives the clamping plate to move back and forth, causing the piston to move simultaneously, so that the air inlet pipe connected to the air cylinder draws in air, and the nozzle sprays air onto the coated semiconductor silicon wafer.

[0022] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a coating device for semiconductor silicon wafer production includes an air blowing plate 1. The cross-sectional shape of the air blowing plate 1 is set to an annular shape so as not to obstruct the coating assembly from coating the circular semiconductor silicon wafer. The bottom end of the air blowing plate 1 is connected to multiple nozzles arranged in an annular pattern. Both sides of the air blowing plate 1 are connected to air outlet pipes 2, which are made of stainless steel. The end of the air outlet pipe 2 away from the air blowing plate 1 is connected to an air cylinder 4. A piston 6 is sealed and slidably mounted inside the air cylinder 4. The piston 6 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 7. The clamping plate 7 is driven to move back and forth by an electric push rod 8, which drives the piston 6 to move simultaneously, so that the air inlet pipe 5 connected to the air cylinder 4 draws in air and sprays air onto the coated semiconductor silicon wafer through the nozzles.

[0023] In this embodiment, a circular semiconductor silicon wafer is placed on the top of a workbench. A coating assembly is provided at the top of the workbench. The coating assembly includes a coating pump system, a coating head or nozzle, a lifting mechanism, a control system, and auxiliary components. Two symmetrically arranged electric push rods 8 are activated, which drive two clamping plates 7 to move towards each other, clamping the circular semiconductor silicon wafer at the top of the workbench. Since the cross-sectional shape of the clamping plates 7 is set to arc, the circular semiconductor silicon wafer is clamped more stably. Adhesive is applied to the surface of the circular semiconductor silicon wafer by the coating assembly.

[0024] When the electric push rod 8 drives the two clamping plates 7 to move closer to each other, one end of the clamping plate 7 is bent into a horizontal shape, and the piston 6 is fixedly connected to the horizontal section of the clamping plate 7. At this time, the movement of the clamping plate 7 drives the piston 6 to move, and the piston 6 moves to draw air. The outside air enters the air cylinder 4 through the air inlet pipe 5 connected to the air cylinder 4. A one-way air inlet control valve 3 is installed on the outside of the air inlet pipe 5, and a one-way air outlet control valve 3 is installed on the outside of the air outlet pipe 2. When the electric push rod 8 drives the two clamping plates 7 to move further away from each other, the piston 6 squeezes the air in the air cylinder 4 and discharges the air in the air cylinder 4 into the air blowing plate 1 through the air outlet pipe 2. Finally, the air is sprayed onto the surface of the circular semiconductor silicon wafer through the inclined nozzle, quickly drying the colloid on the surface of the semiconductor silicon wafer. There is no need to remove the semiconductor silicon wafer for drying, saving subsequent processing time, reducing subsequent drying steps, and improving work efficiency.

[0025] Example 2, as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the air blowing plate 1 is circular, and multiple air holes are opened at the top of the air blowing plate 1. The air blowing plate 1 is set on the top of one of the clamping plates 7. A rotating mechanism 9 is provided on the side of the air blowing plate 1 near the air outlet pipe 2. The air outlet pipe 2 is made of soft material.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the electric push rod 8 drives the two clamping plates 7 to move away from each other, the movement of the clamping plates 7, in conjunction with the rotating mechanism 9, can drive the air blowing plate 1 to rotate 180 degrees counterclockwise, rotating the air blowing plate 1 to directly above the semiconductor silicon wafer, so that the air holes on the air blowing plate 1 are facing the semiconductor silicon wafer. Then, the gas in the air cylinder 4 is discharged through the air holes on the air blowing plate 1 to the upper surface of the semiconductor silicon wafer, so that the colloid on the semiconductor silicon wafer can be fully covered by the blowing, increasing the contact area between the colloid and the airflow on the semiconductor silicon wafer, and further increasing the drying speed of the colloid.

[0027] As a specific implementation structure of this embodiment, the rotating mechanism 9 includes a rack 901, and the number of racks 901 is set to two. The two racks 901 are respectively disposed at both ends of the support rod. The support rod is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal section of the clamping plate 7. The top of the rack 901 is meshed with a gear 902. The end of the gear 902 away from the clamping plate 7 is rotatably connected to a reciprocating screw 903 through a one-way damping bearing. A reciprocating moving component is disposed on the outer side of the reciprocating screw 903.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the electric push rod 8 drives the two clamping plates 7 to move toward each other, the two racks 901 mesh with the gear 902 in sequence, and the two racks 901 drive the gear 902 to rotate in sequence. Since the gear 902 and the reciprocating screw 903 are rotatably connected through a one-way damping bearing, the rotation of the gear 902 does not drive the reciprocating screw 903 to rotate.

[0029] When the electric push rod 8 drives the two clamping plates 7 to move away from each other, the two racks 901 mesh with the gear 902 in sequence. When the gear 902 rotates, the two racks 901 can drive the reciprocating screw 903 to rotate. When the first rack 901 meshes with the gear 902, it drives the reciprocating moving assembly to move towards the air blowing plate 1. When the second rack 901 meshes with the gear 902, the reciprocating moving assembly moves away from the air blowing plate 1.

[0030] Furthermore, the reciprocating moving assembly includes a first slider 904, which is connected to the outside of the reciprocating lead screw 903 via a nut pair. A moving rod 906 is fixedly connected to the top of the first slider 904. A limit rod 905 is provided inside the first slider 904, and the first slider 904 is slidably connected to the outside of the limit rod 905. The limit rod 905 is fixedly connected to a support plate, and the support plate is installed on the top of the glue application table. The limit rod 905 passes through the support plate and rotates with it, and one end of the moving rod 906 passes through the support plate and slides with it.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the first rack 901 meshes with the gear 902, the reciprocating screw 903 rotates, causing the first slider 904 to move toward the air blowing plate 1 under the limiting action of the limiting rod 905. The movement of the first slider 904 causes the moving rod 906 to move. When the second rack 901 meshes with the gear 902, the reciprocating screw 903 rotates, causing the first slider 904 to move away from the air blowing plate 1, which means that the moving rod 906 moves with the first slider 904.

[0032] Furthermore, a rotating assembly is provided at one end of the moving rod 906 near the clamping plate 7. The rotating assembly includes a sleeve 907, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the air blowing plate 1. The end of the sleeve 907 near the moving rod 906 is rotatably connected to the support plate, and the sleeve 907 and the moving rod 906 are connected through a transmission assembly.

[0033] The transmission assembly includes a second slider 908, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the moving rod 906. A spiral groove is provided inside the sleeve 907, and one end of the second slider 908 is disposed in the spiral groove and slides in cooperation with it.

[0034] In this embodiment, the moving rod 906 moves towards the air blowing plate 1, causing the second slider 908 to slide within the spiral groove of the sleeve 907. Since the moving rod 906 can only move linearly under the limiting action of the limiting rod 905, when the moving rod 906 moves, it causes the sleeve 907 to rotate 180 degrees counterclockwise, rotating the air blowing plate 1 directly above the semiconductor silicon wafer. Air is then blown onto the colloid of the semiconductor silicon wafer through the air holes on the air blowing plate 1. When the moving rod 906 moves away from the air blowing plate 1, it causes the air blowing plate 1 to rotate 180 degrees clockwise to reset.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
