[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment technology, specifically to a screw positioning semi-lunar ring structure for semiconductor CMP cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In current semiconductor wafer manufacturing processes, CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) cleaning equipment commonly employs enclosed screw locating rings to fix and position the internal structure of the equipment. These locating rings are typically made of acid and alkali-resistant materials and are installed inside the equipment cavity for long-term stable operation in acidic or alkaline environments. However, existing enclosed-ring screw locating rings present the following problems during replacement and maintenance:

[0003] The positioning ring can only be removed by disassembling the middle screw, making the disassembly and assembly process cumbersome.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Throughout the accompanying drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Please see Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a screw positioning crescent ring structure for a semiconductor CMP cleaning equipment, including two interlocking crescent ring assemblies 1. The two crescent ring assemblies 1 are radially spliced ​​together to form a ring structure. They are detachably fitted and respectively located on both sides of the central screw, allowing for installation and removal without disassembling the central screw. The original closed-loop structure of the screw positioning ring is improved by using two crescent ring assemblies 1. When replacing a new screw positioning crescent ring, it is possible to directly disassemble and install without disassembling the central screw. This greatly improves efficiency, solves the problem of difficult replacement due to limited space, and resolves a series of problems caused by changes in screw position.

[0024] The two ends of the crescent ring assembly 1 are respectively provided with a first connecting part 2 and a second connecting part 3 that cooperate with each other. The first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 cooperate at the ends to realize the assembly closure and stable connection of the ring structure, which facilitates the quick assembly and disassembly of the two crescent ring assemblies and helps to improve maintenance convenience and operation efficiency.

[0025] The first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 are formed by radial cutting along the crescent ring assembly; thus forming a splicing and mating structure. The splicing and mating structure consists of splicing surfaces that are spliced ​​together. The splicing surfaces include stepped, right-angled, or inclined surfaces to enhance the connection stability after assembly, realize the closure of the ring structure, improve splicing strength and splicing accuracy, and facilitate quick assembly and disassembly without the need for screw interference.

[0026] Each of the crescent ring components 1 is provided with a positioning hole 4. Screws are fixedly connected to the connector through the positioning holes 4, engaging with the inner wall of the equipment cavity to ensure accurate positioning of the assembled ring structure and prevent misalignment. During disassembly, only the screws need to be loosened to remove the two crescent ring components 1 from the connector; there is no need to remove the intermediate screw 3. The operation is simple and suitable for confined spaces inside the cavity.

[0027] The crescent ring assembly is made of polytetrafluoroethylene or other acid and alkali resistant materials to adapt to acid and alkali cleaning environments and ensure long-term stable operation.

[0028] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
