[0095] As an embodiment of the utility model:
[0096] 1. Glass substrate loading: the lower alignment platform assembly 2 and the upper alignment platform assembly 7 are moved to the respective loading positions, the mechanical arm 3 picks up the glass substrate, and the vacuum suction of the material taking clamp is opened to hold the glass substrate. After a certain amount of UV glue is dropped on the glass substrate, the mechanical arm 3 is moved above the vacuum suction nozzle 13 of the lower alignment platform assembly 2. The vacuum suction nozzle 13 is extended to the position close to the glass substrate. The loading lens 96 fixed on the upper support plate 6 is used to determine whether the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is at the center point of the glass substrate. If not, the mechanical arm 3 is controlled to move the glass substrate to the correct position. After reaching the correct position, the vacuum of the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is opened to hold the glass substrate, and the vacuum of the material taking clamp of the mechanical arm 3 is closed. After the glass substrate is transferred to the vacuum suction nozzle 13 of the lower alignment platform assembly 2, the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is retracted until the glass substrate reaches the alignment vacuum plate 12 of the lower alignment platform assembly 2. The vacuum of the alignment vacuum plate 12 is opened to hold the glass substrate, and the vacuum of the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is closed and continues to retract to the designated position. Thus, the glass substrate loading is completed.
[0097] 2. Wafer loading: the mechanical arm 3 picks up the wafer, and the vacuum suction of the material taking clamp of the mechanical arm 3 is opened to hold the wafer. Then the mechanical arm 3 is moved above the vacuum suction nozzle 13 of the upper alignment platform assembly 7. The vacuum suction nozzle 13 is extended to the position close to the wafer. Then the loading lens 96 fixed on the lower base plate 1 is used to determine whether the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is at the center point of the wafer. If not, the mechanical arm 3 is controlled to move the wafer to the correct position. After reaching the correct position, the vacuum of the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is opened to hold the wafer. At this time, the vacuum of the material taking clamp of the mechanical arm 3 is closed. The wafer is transferred to the vacuum suction nozzle 13 of the upper alignment platform assembly 7. In the next step, the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is retracted until the wafer reaches the alignment vacuum plate 12 of the upper alignment platform assembly 7. The vacuum of the alignment vacuum plate 12 is opened to hold the glass substrate, and the vacuum of the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is closed and continues to retract to the designated position. Thus, the wafer loading is completed.
[0098] 3. Alignment and bonding: after the glass substrate and the wafer are placed, the upper and lower alignment platform assemblies 2 are moved to the alignment position. Then the two alignment lenses 107 installed on the upper support plate 6 are used to observe the target glass clamp 15 to determine whether the upper alignment platform assembly 7 reaches the designated position. If not, the motor rotation amount of the upper platform X-axis conveying mechanism 8 is controlled to move the upper alignment platform assembly 7 to the designated position. The two alignment lenses 107 installed on the lower base plate 1 are used to observe whether the lower alignment platform assembly 2 reaches the designated position. If not, the motor rotation amount of the lower platform X-axis conveying mechanism 4, the lower platform rotating mechanism 22, and the lower platform Y-axis conveying mechanism 23 is controlled to move the lower alignment platform assembly 2 to the designated position. After the upper and lower alignment platform assemblies 2 reach the correct alignment position, the lower alignment platform assembly 2 is raised to bond the surface of the glass substrate with the surface of the wafer. Then the strip-shaped UV curing lamp 73 is turned on to irradiate the glass substrate and the wafer to cure the UV glue.
[0099] 4, taking material: after curing, the alignment vacuum plate 12 of the upper alignment platform assembly 7 closes the vacuum, and the well-bonded wafer and glass substrate are sucked by the alignment vacuum plate 12 of the lower alignment platform assembly 2, then the lower alignment platform assembly 2 is lowered, and after being lowered to the set position, the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is extended to a position parallel to the alignment vacuum plate 12, the vacuum of the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is opened, the vacuum of the alignment vacuum plate 12 is closed, and the well-bonded wafer and glass substrate are sucked by the vacuum suction nozzle 13, then the vacuum suction nozzle 13 is continuously extended, and after being extended to the specified position, the upper alignment platform assembly 7 and the lower alignment platform assembly 2 are moved to the feeding position, and the mechanical hand 3 takes the well-bonded wafer and glass substrate and places them under the external strip-shaped UV curing lamp 73 for complete curing.
[0100] 5, alignment lens 107 position setting: since the upper alignment platform assembly 7 has only one degree of freedom, the position of the upper alignment platform assembly 7 is used as a reference to set an alignment position for the upper alignment platform assembly 74; when the upper alignment platform assembly 7 is at the final alignment position, the four alignment lenses 107 are aligned with the target glass clamp 15 of the upper alignment platform assembly 7, the marks on the target glass clamp 15 are made to appear in the center of the field of view of the four alignment lenses 107 by moving the alignment lenses 107, and after being determined, the positions at this time are set as the alignment positions of the four alignment lenses 107.
