Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wafer inspection technology, specifically to a non-destructive testing device for PZT piezoelectric thin film wafers. Background Technology

[0002] When performing non-destructive testing on PZT piezoelectric thin film wafers, the wafer is typically fixed on a vacuum chuck, and a CCD camera is used to scan the wafer as it undergoes Archimedean spiral motion. Then, non-destructive testing is performed using software. In existing technologies, after the wafer is placed on the vacuum chuck, the operator needs to align the center of the wafer with the center of the chuck. This makes alignment difficult and time-consuming, resulting in less than ideal testing efficiency.

[0003] For example, patent publication number CN220895485U specifically describes a wafer adjustment platform, including: a base; at least three sets of adjustment components distributed circumferentially on the base; a top plate connected and supported on the at least three sets of adjustment components; and a support component rotatably mounted on the top plate, configured to support a wafer and drive the wafer to rotate; the at least three sets of adjustment components are configured to respectively drive the top plate to rise and fall at corresponding positions to level the support component or adjust its height. Using the wafer adjustment platform provided in this application, during the wafer inspection process... When a wafer tilts, one or more adjustment components can be controlled to drive the top plate to deflect from the corresponding position, thereby implementing real-time leveling of the support component and ensuring the horizontality of the wafer supported on the support component. By controlling all adjustment components to synchronously drive the top plate to rise and fall from the corresponding position, the rise and fall adjustment of the support component can be implemented, thereby driving the wafer to rise and fall synchronously. However, after the wafer is placed on the vacuum chuck, the operator needs to align the center of the wafer with the center of the chuck. This makes alignment difficult and time-consuming, resulting in less than ideal testing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a non-destructive testing device for PZT piezoelectric thin film wafers, including a base 1, an electric slide rail 3 on the base 1, an electric rotary table 5 mounted on the electric slide rail 3, a vacuum chuck 6 mounted on the electric rotary table 5, a scanning mechanism 4 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and an alignment mechanism 2 on one side of the scanning mechanism 4. The wafer on the vacuum chuck 6 can be quickly aligned by the alignment mechanism 2, so that the wafer can be aligned with the center of the vacuum chuck 6, shortening the alignment time and thus improving the testing efficiency. Then, the electric slide rail 3 and the electric rotary table 5 drive the wafer to perform Archimedean spiral motion (motion performed by rotating while moving in a straight line), so that the scanning mechanism 4 can scan the wafer for non-destructive testing.

[0023] The alignment mechanism 2 includes a robotic arm 201, which can move the alignment seat 209 and can be folded up when not in use to prevent obstruction of the inspection operation. The robotic arm 201 is located on one side of the base 1 and is detachably connected to the base 1 by bolts, making it easy to assemble and disassemble the robotic arm 201 for easy maintenance. A fixed frame 202 is mounted on the robotic arm 201, and a lifting screw 203 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 202. A lifting screw is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting screw 203. A lifting motor 204 is fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed frame 202, and the output shaft of the lifting motor 204 is connected to the lifting screw 203, enabling the lifting motor 204 to drive the lifting screw 203 to rotate. A limit block 208 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting screw 203, and a lifting plate 205 is threaded onto the lifting screw 203. Two guide sleeves 206 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the lifting plate 205, and guide rods 207 are slidably connected inside the two guide sleeves 206. The top ends of the guide rods 207 are fixedly connected to the fixed frame 202. Next, the bottom end of the guide rod 207 extends into the guide sleeve 206, enabling the guide rod 207 to guide the movement of the guide sleeve 206. An alignment seat 209 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide sleeve 206. Multiple limiting grooves 210 are formed inside the alignment seat 209, and an alignment rod 211 is slidably connected inside each limiting groove 210. The bottom end of the alignment rod 211 passes through the alignment seat 209 and partially extends to the bottom of the alignment seat 209. Multiple alignment rods 211 are evenly distributed on the alignment seat 209, enabling the alignment rods 211 to align the wafer. The alignment rod 211 is provided with a return spring 212 on one side, which can reset the alignment rod 211. The alignment seat 209 is rotatably connected to a driven gear ring 213.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The scanning mechanism 4 includes a stand 401. Guide grooves 402 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the stand 401. A mounting plate 404 is slidably connected between the two guide grooves 402. An adjusting screw is threaded to one end of the mounting plate 404. The adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the stand 401. One end of the adjusting screw is connected to an adjusting motor 403 through a bevel gear pair. A CCD camera 405 is mounted on the mounting plate 404. The CCD camera 405 can scan the wafer that is undergoing Archimedean spiral motion, thereby enabling non-destructive testing. The adjusting motor 403 can drive the adjusting screw to rotate, and the rotation of the adjusting screw can drive the mounting plate 404 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the mounting height of the CCD camera 405, which can effectively improve the flexibility and convenience of installation.

[0025] During operation, the robotic arm 201 delivers the alignment seat 209 to the top of the vacuum chuck 6. The lifting motor 204 drives the lifting screw 203 to rotate, which in turn moves the lifting plate 205. The movement of the lifting plate 205 moves the guide sleeve 206, which in turn moves the alignment seat 209, placing multiple alignment rods 211 on the outer side of the wafer. Then, the drive motor 215 drives the drive gear 214 to rotate, which in turn moves the driven gear ring 213. The rotation of the driven gear ring 213 in turn moves the push block 216, which in turn moves the alignment rods 211 along the limiting groove 210, causing multiple alignment rods 211 to move towards the center simultaneously, quickly aligning the wafer and ensuring that the wafer is aligned with the center of the vacuum chuck 6. This shortens the alignment time and improves the detection efficiency.
