[0025] Combination Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the electroplating shielding plate adjustment device of this embodiment includes a shielding plate body 10, a first adjustment part and a second adjustment part. The shielding plate body 10 is provided with a plurality of holes 101, which form an electroplating area. The first adjustment part can adjust the area of ​​the electroplating area in a first direction, and the second adjustment part can adjust the area of ​​the electroplating area in a second direction.

[0026] In this embodiment, the shielding plate body 10 includes a front cover 11 and a rear cover 12, with a cavity formed between the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12. The front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 are connected by a connecting post 40. The first adjustment part and the second adjustment part are both located in the cavity. The first adjustment part is located on the front cover 11, and the second adjustment part is located on the rear cover 12. The front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 are both provided with holes 101. In this embodiment, the electroplating area formed on the front cover 11 is exactly the same as the electroplating area formed on the rear cover 12. Therefore, when the first adjustment part or the second adjustment part moves, the electroplating area can be fully adjusted.

[0027] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first adjustment part of this embodiment includes two first adjustment plates 20 that move in the same straight line. The first adjustment plates 20 are located inside the shielding plate body 10 and move along the first direction of the shielding plate body 10 to change the area of ​​the electroplating area. In this embodiment, there are two first adjustment plates 20, which can move along the first direction under manual operation, thereby changing the area of ​​the electroplating area in the first direction. The first adjustment plate 20 is provided with a locking member 60. When the first adjustment plate 20 moves to a predetermined position, the first adjustment plate 20 is locked by the locking member 60, so that the first adjustment plate 20 is fixed on the front cover 11, ensuring that the area of ​​the electroplating area does not change, thereby ensuring the electroplating accuracy of the subsequent wafer.

[0028] In this embodiment, the locking component 60 is a screw, and the front cover 11 is provided with a first slot 111 and a first slide groove 112. The end of the first adjusting plate 20 is located in the first slot 111 and moves along the length direction of the first slide groove 112. The first adjusting plate 20 is provided with a protrusion 50, which is located in the first slide groove 112. Under the cooperation of the protrusion 50 and the first slide groove 112, the first adjusting plate 20 is guided to move.

[0029] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the second adjustment part of this embodiment includes two second adjustment plates 30 that move in the same straight line. The second adjustment plates 30 are located inside the shielding plate body 10 and move along the second direction of the shielding plate body 10 to change the area of ​​the electroplating area. The rear cover 12 is provided with a second slot 121 and a second slide groove 122. The end of the second adjustment plate 30 is located in the second slot 121 and moves along the length direction of the second slide groove 122. In this embodiment, there are two second adjustment plates 30. Under manual operation, they can move along the second direction respectively, thereby changing the area of ​​the electroplating area in the second direction. The second adjustment plate 30 is provided with a locking member 60. When the second adjustment plate 30 moves to a predetermined position, the second adjustment plate 30 is locked by the locking member 60, so that the second adjustment plate 30 is fixed on the rear cover 12, ensuring that the area of ​​the electroplating area does not change, thereby ensuring the electroplating accuracy of the subsequent wafer.

[0030] In this embodiment, the locking component 60 is a screw, and the rear cover 12 is provided with a second slot 121 and a second slide groove 122. The end of the second adjusting plate 30 is located in the second slot 121 and moves along the length direction of the second slide groove 122. The second adjusting plate 30 is provided with a protrusion 50, which is located in the second slide groove 122. Under the cooperation of the protrusion 50 and the second slide groove 122, the second adjusting plate 30 is guided to move.

[0031] In practical use, when it is necessary to adjust the area of ​​the electroplating area, the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 are separated. By changing the position of the first adjustment plate 20 on the front cover 11 or the position of the second adjustment plate 30 on the rear cover 12, the area of ​​the electroplating area is changed to meet the electroplating requirements of the wafer. After the first adjustment plate 20 and the second adjustment plate 30 are adjusted, the first adjustment plate 20 and the second adjustment plate 30 are locked together using the locking member 60, and then the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 are closed.

[0032] In summary, the electroplating shield adjustment device of this embodiment realizes the adjustment of the electroplating area of ​​the shield without disassembling the shield, which can effectively avoid damage to the shield. It also eliminates the need to use tape to adjust the electroplating area of ​​the shield, thus effectively improving the accuracy of the electroplating area adjustment and ensuring the electroplating precision of the subsequent wafer.
