[0027] The utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and not limited to the utility model. In addition, it should be noted that, in order to facilitate the description, only the part related to the utility model is shown in the drawings, not all structures.

[0031] The wafer manufacturing process needs to be carried out in the copper sulfate solution to carry out the electroplating process, so that the copper ions are deposited on the wafer surface. When the wafer is electroplated in the copper sulfate solution, the wafer needs to be fixed in the metal conductive workpiece 20, in order to prevent the metal conductive workpiece 20 from polluting the copper sulfate solution, the surface of the workpiece needs to be sprayed with a Teflon coating to increase the corrosion resistance of the workpiece. The conductive PIN needle 22 of the metal conductive workpiece 20 in contact with the wafer needs to be protected during the Teflon spraying process, so that the PIN needle 22 retains a part of the metal layer in contact with the wafer.

[0032] For the area of the PIN needle 22 that does not need to be sprayed, shielding is needed before spraying. The existing spraying process has limitations in local shielding of the PIN needle 22 during Teflon spraying, and can only achieve shielding of the entire surface or a larger area, and cannot achieve precise shielding of a smaller local area, which affects the use area of the product after spraying. In order to ensure the normal use of the product, after the Teflon spraying is completed, a mechanical method is also needed to remove the local Teflon coating, such as milling, but it cannot be precisely removed and is time-consuming and laborious.

[0033] In order to solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the embodiment provides a PIN needle protection tool 10 for cooperating with a metal conductive workpiece 20, the metal conductive workpiece 20 comprising a workpiece body 21 and a plurality of PIN needles 22 arranged on the workpiece body 21, the PIN needle protection tool 10 comprising a connecting portion 11 and a protection portion 12, the connecting portion 11 being configured to be detachably connected with the workpiece body 21, the protection portion 12 being connected with the connecting portion 11 and located at the inner side of the workpiece body 21, and the protection portion 12 being capable of shielding one side of the free end of the PIN needle 22.

[0034] In use, first, the metal conductive workpiece 20 is cleaned to ensure the cleanliness of the surface of the metal conductive workpiece 20; then, the PIN needle protection tool 10 is assembled with the metal conductive workpiece 20, the connecting portion 11 is connected with the workpiece body 21, so that the protection portion 12 shields one side of the free end of the PIN needle 22, and the position shielded by the protection portion 12 is the part of the PIN needle 22 in contact with the wafer, i.e. the area without spraying; then, the assembled metal conductive workpiece 20 and PIN needle protection tool 10 are subjected to sandblasting treatment as a whole to increase the roughness of the surface layer of the metal conductive workpiece 20 and improve the adhesion of the subsequent Teflon coating; then, the Teflon raw material powder is sprayed at a high temperature of 200-300°C to ensure the consistency of the Teflon raw material spraying, and the part shielded by the protection portion 12 is not sprayed; after the spraying is completed, the PIN needle protection tool 10 is removed, and the sprayed metal conductive workpiece 20 is sent into an oven to solidify the Teflon coating; after the solidification is completed, the spraying is finished.

[0035] As can be seen, the PIN needle protection tool 10 provided by the embodiment is assembled and connected with the metal conductive workpiece 20 through the connecting portion 11, in the Teflon spraying process, the protection portion 12 can precisely shield the local area of the PIN needle 22, so that the part of the PIN needle 22 in contact with the wafer is not sprayed, the PIN needle protection tool 10 is simple in structure and convenient and fast to use, and can assist in one-time completion of the spraying, without the need for removing the local Teflon coating by using a mechanical method after the spraying, thereby saving time and effort.

[0036] Specifically, as shown, the protection portion 12 is in the shape of a circular ring. Figure 2 In combination with Figure 1 Since the wafer is usually circular, in order to adapt to the shape of the wafer, the workpiece body 21 is in the shape of a circular ring, the plurality of PIN needles 22 are uniformly and spacedly arranged along the circumference of the workpiece body 21, and the protection portion 12 is in the shape of a circular ring and located at the inner circle of the workpiece body 21, so as to locally shield the free end of a circle of PIN needles 22.

[0037] In the process of sand blasting and Teflon raw material spraying, the metal conductive workpiece 20 is easy to deform under external force, for example, the PIN pin 22, and it is difficult to ensure the size accuracy. For the part whose size exceeds the tolerance after Teflon spraying, manual shaping is usually used to restore the original size, but manual operation often cannot be accurately controlled and needs to be repaired repeatedly, which may damage the Teflon coating during the repair process.

[0038] To solve the above problems, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a plurality of grooves 121 corresponding to the PIN pin 22 are formed on the protection part 12, and the plurality of grooves 121 are arranged along the circumference of the protection part 12, and the end part of each PIN pin 22 can be accommodated in the corresponding groove 121. The groove 121 not only has a good local shielding and protection effect on the PIN pin 22, but also has a positioning effect on the PIN pin 22, enhances the structural strength, effectively avoids the product deformation caused by external force during the spraying process, ensures the size accuracy of the PIN pin 22 after spraying, and saves the subsequent manual shaping time.

By using the first connecting hole on the workpiece body 21, the fastener is used to realize the fixed connection of the connecting sheet 111 with the workpiece body 21, and the disassembly is also relatively convenient.

[0040] Optionally, the first connecting hole is a threaded hole, the second connecting hole 112 is a light hole, and the fastener is a bolt, which is screwed through the light hole and the threaded hole. In this way, the stable connection of the connecting sheet 111 with the workpiece body 21 can be realized, and the disassembly is also relatively convenient.

[0041] As shown in Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the number of connecting parts 11 is six, and the six connecting parts 11 are uniformly and spacedly arranged along the circumference of the protection part 12, which can ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the PIN pin protection tool 10 and the workpiece body 21. In other optional embodiments, the number of connecting parts 11 can also be four, five or other numbers, which can be flexibly set according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0042] Further, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the PIN protection tool 10 further comprises a connecting rod 13, one end of the connecting rod 13 is connected with the protection part 12, and the other end of the connecting rod 13 is connected with the connecting sheet 111. The connecting sheet 111 and the protection part 12 are connected through the connecting rod 13, which is simple and compact in structure and low in cost.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the connecting rod 13 and the protection part 12 can be an integral structure, and the connecting sheet 111 can be a split structure. Figure 5 As shown, the connecting sheet 111 is provided with a third connecting hole 113, and one end of the connecting rod 13 away from the protection part 12 is connected in the third connecting hole 113. The connecting mode of the connecting rod 13 and the third connecting hole 113 can be screw connection, welding or bonding, etc., as long as the connecting rod 13 can be fixed in the third connecting hole 113, which is not limited here.

[0044] In another optional embodiment, the connecting rod 13, the connecting sheet 111 and the protection part 12 can be an integral structure. In this way, the structural strength of the entire PIN protection tool 10 is improved, and the assembly process between the connecting rod 13, the connecting sheet 111 and the protection part 12 is saved, which saves time and effort.

[0045] In another optional embodiment, the connecting rod 13, the connecting sheet 111 and the protection part 12 can also be a split structure, that is, the connecting rod 13, the connecting sheet 111 and the protection part 12 are manufactured separately, and then connected by mechanical mode, which is convenient for processing of single parts.
