Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wafer-related technologies, specifically a moving stage mechanism for wafer inspection. Background Technology
[0002] A wafer is a silicon wafer used in the fabrication of silicon semiconductor integrated circuits. Because of its circular shape, it is called a wafer. The raw material for a wafer is silicon, and there is an inexhaustible supply of silicon dioxide on the Earth's crust. Various circuit element structures can be fabricated on silicon wafers to become IC products with specific electrical functions. The raw material for a wafer is silicon, and there is an inexhaustible supply of silicon dioxide on the Earth's crust. Wafer manufacturers then melt this polycrystalline silicon, plant seed crystals in the molten liquid, and then slowly pull them out to form cylindrical single-crystal silicon rods. Since the silicon rod is gradually formed from a seed crystal with a defined crystal orientation in molten silicon raw material, this process is called "crystal growth".
[0003] Existing technologies for wafer inspection moving stage mechanisms still have certain drawbacks. The traditional moving stage usually moves to a fixed position. Due to the different sizes of wafers, there will be slight deviations in the wafer's position, which will cause the wafer to not be aligned with the inspection position and affect the accuracy of the wafer's movement position. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moving stage mechanism for wafer inspection, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the moving position of a traditional moving stage is usually fixed. Due to the different sizes of wafers, there will be slight deviations in the moving position of the wafer, which will cause the wafer to not be aligned with the inspection position and affect the accuracy of the wafer moving position.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a moving stage mechanism for wafer inspection, comprising a moving stage body, a moving groove inside the moving stage body, a balancing moving seat at the upper position inside the moving groove, an assembly at the middle position of one end of the bottom surface of the balancing moving seat, positioning ports on both sides of the assembly, a push rod connected to the inner side of the assembly, the push rod being located inside a hydraulic push rod, anti-deviation positioning rods on both sides of the hydraulic push rod, fixed spur gears on both sides of the bottom surface of the balancing moving seat, a fixed circular gear below the fixed spur gears, an adjustable positioning seat inside the balancing moving seat, a wafer placement groove above the adjustable positioning seat, guide rods on both sides of the interior of the adjustable positioning seat, mounting plates on both sides of the moving stage body, and a slot at one end of the moving stage body aligned with the fixed spur gear.
[0006] In a further embodiment, the wafer placement slot is circular in shape, and the wafer placement slot is connected to the adjustable positioning seat by a plug-in connection.
[0007] In a further embodiment, the middle position of one end of the adjustable positioning seat is fixedly connected to the balance moving seat by an adjusting screw, and the two sides of both ends of the adjustable positioning seat are fixedly connected to the balance moving seat by a buffer spring.
[0008] In a further embodiment, the two ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the balance moving seat by insertion, and the adjustable positioning seat is slidably connected to the guide rod.
[0009] In a further embodiment, the balancing moving seat and the moving groove are connected by a fixed spur gear and a fixed circular gear, and the fixed circular gear and the moving groove are fixedly connected by a fixed shaft.
[0010] In a further embodiment, the assembly is welded to the balance moving seat, and the cross-section of the assembly is designed as an L-shaped structure.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the position of the adjustable positioning seat is adjusted and moved by adjusting screws. This adjustment method is relatively simple and can be adjusted according to the size of the wafer and the positioning position, meeting more user needs and applicable to wafers of various sizes. When there is a slight deviation in the wafer detection position, the wafer detection position can be corrected by adjusting the adjustable positioning seat, making the wafer positioning more accurate and thus improving the wafer detection effect. In addition, the two sides of the bottom of the balance moving seat move through gear transmission. Since gear transmission has good stability and accurate and reliable motion transmission, the back-and-forth movement of the balance moving seat is more stable and reliable, extending its service life.
