[0029] The supporting rotating component can extend and retract vertically and rotate flexibly. It features a suction cup structure that can firmly hold the wafer to the bottom. During wafer edge-finding operations, the supporting rotating component lifts and rotates the wafer. This device eliminates the roller structure found in existing silicon-based vapor deposition feeding devices, enabling edge-finding to be completed without roller contact. This effectively avoids dust particles and wafer scratches, significantly improving product yield.

[0030] The silicon wafer support 1 includes a base plate 2; the base plate 2 is provided with mounting holes 201; the suction cup structure includes a suction cup 3; the suction cup 3 is disposed in the mounting holes 201 and is connected to the bottom of the wafer.

[0036] The suction cup 3 is a vacuum suction cup; the mounting sleeve 4 is equipped with an air pipe; the air pipe is connected to the suction cup 3, and the air pipe is connected to a vacuum pump.

[0037] The suction cup 3 can be a vacuum suction cup; the vacuum pump draws a vacuum through the air pipe, which can control the suction cup 3 to stick firmly to the bottom surface of the wafer; the vacuum pump breaks the vacuum through the air pipe, which can realize the separation of the suction cup 3 from the wafer.

[0038] The suction cup 3 is an electrostatic chuck; the mounting sleeve 4 is equipped with a power supply line; the power supply line is connected to the suction cup 3 and is also connected to a power source.

[0046] The specific workflow of this utility model is as follows:

[0047] The wafer to be edge-searched is placed on the silicon wafer support 1; after the wafer is detected to have entered the edge-searching cavity 5, the turntable 602 drives the rotation sensor 603 to rotate to perform the edge-searching operation.

[0048] Based on the data sensed by the rotation sensor 603, the controller 101 calculates the wafer offset angle;

[0049] The suction cup 3 grips the wafer and extends vertically upwards, causing the wafer to detach from the silicon wafer support 1; the suction cup 3 gripping the wafer rotates and calibrates its position according to the calculated offset angle.

[0050] After position calibration, the chuck 3 grips the wafer and descends onto the silicon wafer support 1; the chuck 3 releases its grip, allowing the wafer to detach.

[0051] The turntable 602 drives the rotation sensor 603 to perform the edge-finding action again, and determines that the edge-finding position is correct; after confirming that the edge-finding is completed, the suction cup 3 and the rotation sensor 603 return to the initial position, completing the edge-finding action.
