DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.
[0022] A spraying device for semiconductor wafers comprises:
[0023] A fixed seat 10 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 11;
[0024] A nozzle assembly 20 comprises a connecting part movably inserted into the mounting holes 11, both ends of the connecting part extending to the outside of the mounting holes, the surface of the connecting part being integrally formed with a mounting ring 23 below the fixed seat 10, the top of the mounting ring 23 being fixedly connected with connecting pieces 24 on both sides of the connecting part, and the connecting pieces 24 being clampedly connected with the bottom of the fixed seat 10.
[0025] A photoresist hose 30 is threadedly sleeved on the top of the connecting part.
[0026] Both ends of the connecting part extending out of the mounting holes facilitate the connection with other components, the mounting ring 23 is below the fixed seat 10, the connecting pieces 24 on the mounting ring 23 are clampedly connected with the bottom of the fixed seat 10, this clamped connection mode facilitates the fixing of the nozzle assembly 20 on the fixed seat 10, and when the nozzle assembly needs to be replaced, the nozzle assembly can also be easily disassembled, after the connecting part is inserted into the mounting hole 11 from below the fixed seat 10, the photoresist hose 30 is threadedly sleeved on the top of the connecting part, the photoresist is transported to the connecting part through the photoresist hose 30, due to the tight threadedly connection mode, the photoresist leakage can be effectively prevented, the photoresist can be ensured to be transported along the predetermined path, when the device works, the photoresist flows from the photoresist hose 30 to the nozzle assembly 20, and finally sprays out from the bottom of the nozzle assembly 20 to spray the semiconductor wafer below, since the nozzle assembly 20 and the fixed seat 10 are relatively independent components, through the clamped connection, when the nozzle assembly 20 is contaminated, the photoresist hose 30 is disassembled from the connecting part, the connecting pieces 24 are separated from the fixed seat 10, the nozzle assembly can be conveniently cleaned or replaced, the problem that the nozzle of the traditional structure is easy to be contaminated and inconvenient to be cleaned or replaced is solved, and the photoresist spraying efficiency of the semiconductor wafer is improved.
[0027] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The connecting pieces 24 comprise an insertion rod 241 integrally formed with the mounting ring 23, the insertion rod 241 is provided with a mounting groove 242, the mounting groove 242 is movably inserted with limiting columns 243 on both sides, a spring 244 is arranged between the two limiting columns 243, the end of the limiting column 243 away from the mounting groove 242 is in a semispherical structure, the bottom of the fixed seat 10 is provided with insertion holes 13 on both sides of the mounting holes 11, the insertion holes 13 are adapted to the insertion rod 241, and the inside of the fixed seat 10 is provided with limiting holes 14 on both sides of the insertion holes 13, the limiting holes 14 are adapted to the limiting columns 243.
[0028] Specifically, after the connecting part is inserted into the mounting hole 11, the insertion rod 241 is aligned with the insertion hole 13 on both sides of the mounting hole 11 at the bottom of the fixing seat 10, the connecting part is pushed to move upward, and the insertion rod 241 is inserted into the insertion hole 13. During the insertion of the insertion rod 241, the inner wall of the insertion hole 13 will extrude the limiting column 243, and this extrusion will make the limiting column 243 extrude the spring 244 to shrink into the mounting groove 242. When the limiting column 243 is aligned with the limiting hole 14 in the fixing seat 10, at this time the spring 244 rebounds, the limiting column 243 is pushed into the limiting hole 14, thereby realizing the firm clamping connection of the nozzle assembly 20 and the fixing seat 10. Since the end of the limiting column 243 away from the mounting groove 242 is a hemispherical structure, during the disengagement of the limiting column 243 and the limiting hole 14, the limiting column 243 can move into the mounting groove 242 under the pushing action of the inner wall of the limiting hole 14.
[0029] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the connecting part comprises a connecting pipe 21 matched with the mounting hole 11, an enlarged pipe 22 communicated and arranged at the bottom of the connecting pipe 21, and a spray head 25 communicated and arranged at the bottom of the enlarged pipe 22. The mounting ring 23 is arranged on the enlarged pipe 22. The enlarged hole 12 is communicated and arranged in the fixing seat 10 and below the mounting hole 11, and the enlarged hole 12 is matched with the enlarged pipe 22.
[0030] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting pipe 21 is matched with the mounting hole 11 and movably inserted therein. The connecting pipe 21 ensures the installation and positioning of the nozzle assembly 20 on the fixing seat 10. The enlarged pipe 22 is communicated with the bottom of the connecting pipe 21, and the mounting ring 23 is arranged on the enlarged pipe 22. The cooperation of the enlarged pipe 22 and the enlarged hole 12 can further accurately position the nozzle assembly 20. The top of the connecting pipe 21 is threadedly connected with the photoresist hose 30, so that it can be limited in the vertical direction, providing additional support and stability to prevent the connecting part from loosening or falling off during use. The spray head 25 is the end component of the connecting part, responsible for spraying the photoresist. The diameter of the photoresist hose 30 is greater than the diameter of the mounting hole 11.
[0031] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the fixing sleeve 15 is arranged at the top of the fixing seat 10 and around the mounting hole 11, and the diameter of the fixing sleeve 15 is greater than the diameter of the photoresist hose 30.
[0032] Specifically, the fixing sleeve 15 can protect the connection position of the light blocking hose 30 and the connecting pipe 21 from external collision during use, and can guide the light blocking hose 30 to accurately connect with the connecting pipe 21 and assist in fixing the light blocking hose 30 to enhance the stability of the connection.
[0033] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit it.
