[0026] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to examples shown in the attached drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.
[0027] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 - Figure 2 A vacuum adsorption disc is used to carry a wafer during the cleaning process of the wafer. The disc body 1 is provided with an adsorption mechanism 2. In the actual working scene, the adsorption mechanism 2 is connected with the external negative pressure device to obtain negative pressure, so as to adsorb and fix the wafer carried thereon. And the disc body 1 is connected with the external driver, and under the driving of the driver, the wafer carried thereon is rotated, so as to realize better cleaning effect.
[0028] The adsorption mechanism 2 includes an adsorption hole 21 penetrating the disc body 1 along the parallel axis, and an adsorption groove 23 etched on the disc body 1. The adsorption groove 23 is indirectly communicated with the adsorption hole 21 through the adsorption channel 22, and the adsorption groove 23 is arranged to adapt to the annular structure of the wafer. The negative pressure device communicates with the adsorption hole 21 and transmits the generated negative pressure to the adsorption groove 23 through the adsorption channel 22, so that the wafer carried thereon is subjected to uniform adsorption force.
[0029] In order to make the wafer carried thereon subjected to more uniform adsorption force, the disc body 1 corresponding to the adsorption mechanism 2 is provided with a cover plate 5. The upper surface of the cover plate 5 is used to carry the wafer, and the inside of the cover plate 5 has a plurality of micro-hole structures communicating with the upper surface and the lower surface. When the cover plate 5 is placed on the disc body 1, the micro-holes can communicate with the adsorption groove 23. In this embodiment, the cover plate 5 is made of porous ceramic.
[0030] In order to be compatible with wafers of various sizes, the adsorption groove 23 is arranged in two around the axis of the disc body 1. As shown in the drawings, Figure 1As shown, the disc body 1 is provided with a partition ring 6 between adjacent adsorption grooves 23, and the cover plate 5 is provided with circular and annular shapes corresponding to the inside and outside of the partition ring 6, so that the disc body 1 has a first mounting area in the middle and a second mounting area at the edge, which are respectively used to mount 8-inch and 12-inch wafers of different sizes.
[0031] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 The thick solid line in the figure represents the path of negative pressure generation. The disc body 1 is provided with a first negative pressure interface 71 and a second negative pressure interface 72, and the adsorption holes 21 are constructed as two, namely a first adsorption hole 21a and a second adsorption hole 21b; correspondingly, the adsorption channels 22 and the adsorption grooves 23 are also constructed as two, namely a first adsorption channel 22a, a second adsorption channel 22b, and a first adsorption groove 23a and a second adsorption groove 23b.
[0032] The first negative pressure interface 71 is in communication with the first adsorption groove 23a through the first adsorption hole 21a and the first adsorption channel 22a. The external negative pressure device is connected to the first negative pressure interface 71 to generate negative pressure in the first adsorption groove 23a, so that the 8-inch wafer can be adsorbed.
[0033] Similarly, the second negative pressure interface 72 is in communication with the second adsorption groove 23b through the second adsorption hole 21b and the second adsorption channel 22b. The external negative pressure device is connected to the second negative pressure interface 72 to generate negative pressure in the second adsorption groove 23b, so that the 12-inch wafer can be adsorbed.
[0034] The manufacturing method of the adsorption channel 22 is a material-removing process, that is, the adsorption channel 22 is generated by removing part of the entity on the disc body 1. The disc body 1 needs to mount the wafer to rotate at high speed, so the adsorption hole 21 and the adsorption channel 22 arranged in the radial direction will change the position of the rotating center of the disc body 1, and then affect the dynamic balance of the disc body 1 when rotating.
[0035] In order to solve this problem, as shown in Figure 3 The back side of the disc body 1 is provided with a balancing mechanism 3 corresponding to the adsorption mechanism 2. The balancing mechanism 3 includes balancing holes 31 and balancing channels 32 arranged at 180° corresponding to the adsorption holes 21 and the adsorption channels 22, respectively. The balancing holes 31 and the balancing channels 32 are also arranged on the disc body 1 by the material-removing process, and the sizes thereof correspond to the adsorption holes 21 and the adsorption channels 22, respectively, so that the disc body 1 has the same mass on both sides of the symmetry plane of the balancing mechanism 3 and the adsorption mechanism 2, thereby enabling the rotating center of the disc body 1 to be on its axis.
[0036] And, the disc body 1 has a certain degree of uneven mass distribution before the adsorption mechanism 2 is opened due to machining errors and other factors, and the balancing mechanism 3 eliminates the influence of the adsorption mechanism 2, and the rotation center of the disc body 1 still needs to be controlled by the adjusting mechanism.
[0037] Specifically, the adjusting mechanism includes adjusting holes 4 opened on the periphery of the disc body 1, and the adjusting holes 4 are uniformly arranged around the axis of the disc body 1. A plurality of adjusting blocks are arranged corresponding to the plurality of adjusting holes 4, the number of adjusting blocks is less than the number of adjusting holes 4, and the adjusting blocks can be detachably inserted into and taken out of any adjusting hole 4. Because the adjusting block itself has a certain mass, when the adjusting block cooperates with the adjusting hole 4 in different positions, the weight distribution of the disc body 1 can be changed, and then the rotation center is affected. In this embodiment, the adjusting hole 4 is provided as a bolt hole, and the corresponding adjusting block is provided as a bolt.
[0038] The adsorption channel 22 can be provided as one or multiple, when the adsorption channel 22 is provided as a single, the negative pressure generated from the adsorption hole 21 can only gradually spread from a point on the adsorption groove 23 to other areas on the adsorption groove 23. When the adsorption channel 22 is provided as multiple, one end of the multiple adsorption channels 22 is connected with the same adsorption hole 21, and the other end is respectively connected with different positions on the same adsorption groove 23. In this way, the negative pressure generated by the adsorption hole 21 connected with the negative pressure device can quickly act on the entire adsorption groove 23.
[0039] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and implement it, and it cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present application is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present application, therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting, the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application.
