Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thin film preparation technology, and in particular to a spin coater capable of pre-annealing. Background Technology

[0002] A spin coater is a device that uses centrifugal force to uniformly coat a substrate with adhesive. Its basic working principle is to rotate the substrate at high speed, causing the adhesive droplets on the substrate to be evenly distributed under centrifugal force, forming a film of the desired thickness. The viscosity of the adhesive, the spin coater's rotation speed, and the rotation time all contribute to determining the film's thickness and uniformity. Existing spin coaters typically only have the function of uniformly distributing the adhesive and lack the ability to pre-anneal the film. This necessitates additional equipment for film performance optimization, increasing production costs and process complexity, and is particularly inefficient when layer-by-layer film deposition is required. These shortcomings are problems that urgently need to be addressed by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a spin coater capable of pre-annealing.

[0018] Preferably, the top of the box is provided with a workbench, and a second telescopic cylinder for driving the lid to rise and fall is installed on one side of the workbench. The telescopic rod of the second telescopic cylinder is fastened to the lid through a connecting arm.

[0019] Preferably, the top of the cover is provided with a through hole, and a glue storage tank is provided at the position of the through hole. The glue storage tank is connected to the top of the cover for lifting and lowering through a telescopic device.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0036] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] Combined with appendix Figures 1-5A pre-annealing spin coater includes a housing 1, a spin coat shell 2, a chuck 3, and a drive unit 4. The housing 1 serves as the basic structure of the entire device, with the spin coat shell 2 securely mounted to its top. The top of the spin coat shell 2 has an opening, and the chuck 3 is housed within its internal cavity for clamping the spin coat substrate. Specifically, the operator can clamp the spin coat substrate onto the chuck 3 through the opening at the top of the spin coat shell 2, and remove the spin coat substrate through the same opening after film formation.

[0039] The chuck 3 is a mature, existing product, and users can choose the appropriate model to purchase based on their actual needs. A drive unit 4 is also installed inside the housing 1, which drives the chuck 3 to rotate. The output shaft of the drive unit 4 moves through the spin coater housing 2 and is securely connected to the chuck 3. During the film preparation process, the drive unit 4 rotates the spin coater substrate with the droplets of adhesive by rotating the chuck 3, thereby achieving uniform distribution of the adhesive and forming a thin film.

[0040] It should be noted that the drive device 4 can be in the form of a drive motor, that is, the drive motor is installed at the bottom of the spin coating housing 2 and directly drives the chuck 3 to rotate. However, this design has certain limitations: since the chuck 3 is located inside the spin coating housing 2, the operation of clamping the spin coating substrate is limited by space, resulting in inconvenience. Therefore, this embodiment prefers another type of drive device 4 to optimize the clamping process.

[0041] Specifically, the drive device 4 includes a support frame 4-1, a mounting plate 4-2, guide rods 4-3, and a first telescopic cylinder 4-4. The support frame 4-1 is securely connected to the housing 1, and the mounting plate 4-2 is mounted on top of it. The mounting plate 4-2 is connected to the support frame 4-1 by two guide rods 4-3, which are respectively installed at both ends of the mounting plate 4-2, with the other end movably passing through the support frame 4-1. In addition, the first telescopic cylinder 4-4 is also installed between the mounting plate 4-2 and the support frame 4-1, driving the mounting plate 4-2 to move up and down. A motor 4-5 is also fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 4-2, and the output shaft of the motor 4-5 is coaxially and securely connected to the chuck 3.

[0042] When clamping the plating substrate, the first telescopic cylinder 4-4 drives the mounting plate 4-2 to move upward, and the output shaft of the motor 4-5 drives the chuck 3 to move upward synchronously until the chuck 3 is fully extended out of the plating housing 2. At this time, the operator can quickly complete the clamping of the plating substrate. After clamping is completed, the first telescopic cylinder 4-4 is reset, and the mounting plate 4-2 drives the chuck 3 to move downward, finally causing the chuck 3 to fall into the plating housing 2.

[0043] It should be noted that during the rotation of the spin coater substrate, excess adhesive may be splashed into the spin coater housing 2. When the chuck 3 extends out of the spin coater housing 2, the inner wall of the spin coater housing 2 can be cleaned, thereby preventing adhesive residue from affecting subsequent operations.

[0044] To achieve the pre-annealing function, a cover 5 is provided over the top opening of the homogenizing shell 2. An infrared heating lamp 6 is installed inside the cover 5, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5 As shown, after the adhesive on the spin coater substrate is evenly distributed by rotation, the infrared heating lamp 6 can be turned on to heat the film on the spin coater substrate, thereby achieving pre-annealing treatment. This design effectively improves the molding quality and performance of the film.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] Combined with appendix Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment discloses a pre-annealing spin coater, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that: based on Embodiment 1, a worktable 7 is added to the top of the housing 1, and a second telescopic cylinder 8 is installed on one side of the worktable 7. This second telescopic cylinder 8 is specifically used to drive the cover 5 to achieve lifting and lowering. Specifically, the telescopic rod of the second telescopic cylinder 8 is fastened to the cover 5 through a connecting arm 9, thereby ensuring that the cover 5 can stably rise and fall with the telescopic movement of the second telescopic cylinder 8. When the cover 5 rises and opens, it will deflect around the axis of the second telescopic cylinder 8. This design allows the opening at the top of the spin coater housing 2 to be fully exposed, thereby greatly facilitating the replacement of the spin coater substrate.

[0047] Furthermore, the top of the cover 5 is designed with a through hole, and a glue storage tank 10 is set at the corresponding position of the through hole. The glue storage tank 10 is connected to the top of the cover 5 for lifting via a telescopic device 11. The telescopic device 11 can be a telescopic cylinder or a lifting slide, and its core function is to move the glue storage tank 10 downwards when a glue dispensing operation is required, until the dispensing nozzle accurately enters the interior of the spin coater housing 2. The bottom of the glue storage tank 10 is connected to the dispensing nozzle via a solenoid valve. When the solenoid valve is open, the glue will drip from the glue storage tank 10 along the dispensing nozzle onto the surface of the spin coater substrate; when the solenoid valve is closed, the telescopic device 11 can be controlled to move the glue storage tank 10 upwards, thereby removing the dispensing nozzle from the spin coater housing 2. This design effectively avoids the risk of the dispensing nozzle being damaged by high temperature during the pre-annealing operation of the film on the spin coater substrate.

[0048] After the pre-annealing treatment of one film layer on the spin coater substrate is completed, the operator can control the telescopic device 11 to move the glue storage tank 10 downwards to produce the next film layer. By depositing layer by layer until the required film thickness is achieved, this layered operation mode not only improves the precision of film production but also significantly enhances the overall work efficiency.

[0049] Example 3:

[0050] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and 4 This embodiment discloses a pre-annealing spin coater. Based on Embodiment 1 or 2, the housing 1 is specially designed with an inspection port 12. The main function of this inspection port 12 is to facilitate the operator to inspect and maintain the drive device 4, thereby ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0051] Furthermore, a drain port is provided on one side of the bottom of the homogenizing housing 2, and a collection cup 13 is detachably connected to the bottom at the corresponding position of the drain port. The function of the collection cup 13 is to collect excess adhesive that is thrown into the homogenizing housing 2 during the homogenizing process. To ensure the cleanliness and normal operation of the equipment, the operator needs to periodically remove the collection cup 13 through the inspection port 12 for cleaning.

[0052] In addition, the bottom of the housing 1 is designed with multiple support legs 14. The main function of these support legs 14 is to provide stable support for the housing 1, ensuring that the equipment remains stable during operation, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of film production.

[0053] Example 4:

[0054] Combined with appendix Figure 5 This embodiment discloses a spin coater capable of pre-annealing. Based on any of the embodiments in embodiments one to three, the structure of the infrared heating lamp 6 is optimized. Specifically, the infrared heating lamp 6 adopts a ring structure, and multiple infrared heating lamps 6 with different diameters are arranged inside the cover 5. These infrared heating lamps 6 are arranged concentrically, thereby enabling more uniform heating of the film on the spin coater substrate. This design effectively improves the performance of pre-annealing, ensuring that the film obtains ideal physical and chemical properties during the fabrication process, while also improving the overall equipment efficiency and film fabrication quality.

[0055] The parts of this utility model not described in detail are prior art. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that this utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and are intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of equivalents within this utility model.
