[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0027] Example 1: This example provides a visual inspection device for bubble defects in silicon wafer coating, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a base 1 and feet 2 connected to its bottom. A transmission component 3 is connected to the top of the base 1. A conveying component 4 is connected to the transmission component 3. The combination of the transmission component 3 and the conveying component 4 is used to achieve the effect of moving the silicon wafer. A connecting component 5 is connected to the conveying component 4 for visual inspection of the silicon wafer. A rotating component 6 is connected to the bottom of the base 1 to drive the silicon wafer to rotate. A shielding component 7 is slidably connected to the top of the base 1 to isolate external environmental interference.
[0028] The transmission component 3 includes a motor bracket 301 connected to the side of the base 1. The motor bracket 301 is connected to a drive motor 302. The output end of the drive motor 302 is connected to a threaded rod 303. A threaded bracket 305 is slidably connected to the top of the base 1. The threaded bracket 305 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 303. A rotating bracket 304 is connected to the top of the base 1. The rotating bracket 304 is rotatably connected to the end of the threaded rod 303 away from the drive motor 302. A sliding rod 307 is connected to the side of the base 1 away from the drive motor 302. A sliding bracket 306 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 307. Two sets of sliding brackets 306 and threaded brackets 305 are provided respectively. The two sets of sliding brackets 306 and threaded brackets 305 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the connecting plate 401.
[0029] The handling component 4 includes a connecting plate 401 connected to the sides of the sliding bracket 306 and the threaded bracket 305. An electric telescopic rod 402 is connected to the top of the connecting plate 401. A lifting plate 403 is connected to the bottom telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 402. Four suction cups 404 are connected around the bottom of the lifting plate 403. A vacuum pump 405 is connected to the center of the bottom of the lifting plate 403. The vacuum pump 405 is controlled to connect to the four suction cups 404. A storage groove is provided at the top center of the base 1. The storage groove is located directly below the lifting plate 403. The storage groove has the same inner diameter as the rotating groove 601 and is used to store and fix the silicon wafer to be tested.
[0030] The connecting component 5 includes a connecting rod 501 connected to the connecting plate 401, and a detection plate 502 connected to the other end of the connecting rod 501. A camera 503 is connected to the bottom of the detection plate 502.
[0031] The rotating component 6 includes a motor connecting bracket 604 connected to the bottom of the base 1, a rotating motor 603 connected to the motor connecting bracket 604, and a turntable 602 connected to the top output end of the rotating motor 603 through the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a rotating groove 601, and the turntable 602 is rotatably connected to the inner arc surface of the rotating groove 601. The height of the turntable 602 is lower than the height of the rotating groove 601, and there is a gap between the outer arc surface of the turntable 602 and the inner arc surface of the rotating groove 601.
[0032] The specific working principle is as follows: This device can achieve accurate visual inspection of silicon wafers. When using this device, the silicon wafer to be inspected is placed inside the storage groove. At this time, the drive motor 302 drives the threaded rod 303 to rotate, thereby achieving the linear sliding effect of the threaded bracket 305, which in turn achieves the linear sliding effect of the connecting plate 401. The sliding of the connecting plate 401 moves the lifting plate 403 to a position directly above the storage groove. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 402 drives the lifting plate 403 to descend, so that the suction cup 404 contacts the top of the silicon wafer. At this time, the vacuum pump 405 generates negative pressure inside the suction cup 404, thereby achieving the suction effect of the silicon wafer. Then, the electric telescopic rod 402 drives the lifting plate 403 to rise, and the combination of the drive motor 302 and the threaded rod 303 drives the connecting plate 401 to move. During the movement of plate 401, it contacts the side opening of shielding housing 704 through connecting rod 501, realizing the pushing effect of connecting rod 501 on shielding housing 704. At this time, spring 703 is compressed. When lifting plate 403 moves to the top of rotating groove 601, reverse transport operation places silicon wafer on top of turntable 602. At this time, connecting plate 401 moves in the reverse direction, so that detection plate 502 is above turntable 602. When connecting plate 401 slides in the reverse direction, spring 703 drives shielding housing 704 to slide elastically, so that shielding housing 704 returns to the position above rotating groove 601. At this time, rotating motor 603 drives turntable 602 to rotate, while driving motor 302 and threaded rod 303 to drive detection plate 502 to slide laterally linearly, thereby realizing the complete detection effect of camera 503 on the top of silicon wafer.
[0033] Example 2: This example provides a visual inspection device for bubble defects in silicon wafer coating, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the shielding component 7 includes a spring bracket 701 connected to the top of the base 1, a spring 703 connected to the side of the spring bracket 701, and a shielding housing 704 connected to the other end of the spring 703. The top of the base 1 is provided with a sliding groove 702, the inner wall of the sliding groove 702 is slidably connected to the bottom of the shielding housing 704, the side of the shielding housing 704 is provided with an opening, and the connecting rod 501 is provided with a bent part, the bending direction is towards the connecting plate 401, and the top of the shielding housing 704 is at the same height as the bent part of the connecting rod 501.
[0034] The specific working principle is as follows: the elastic sliding shielding shell 704 structure enables the connecting rod 501 to push the shielding shell 704 to slide laterally during the silicon wafer handling process, thereby exposing the top of the rotating groove 601, which facilitates the suction cup 404 structure to handle the silicon wafer structure. When silicon wafer testing is required, the shielding shell 704 rebounds and slides above the rotating groove 601 under the action of the spring 703, blocking the ambient light and avoiding the influence of the external environment on the test results of this device.
[0035] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, which is intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand and apply the present invention. However, it should not be assumed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions.
