Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coating and developing machine technology, specifically to a coating mechanism for a coating and developing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Photoresist coating and developing machines play a core role in integrated circuit manufacturing. Their working principle is based on the chemical and physical processes of coating and developing. By transferring the designed photoresist pattern onto the substrate (such as a silicon wafer), a precise circuit or optical structure is formed, laying the foundation for subsequent processes such as etching and ion implantation.

[0003] In the "A Coating Mechanism for a Coating and Developing Machine" authorized by publication number "CN117066042B", when the coating mechanism descends, it can drive the protective cover to descend synchronously, and drive the connecting plate to slide into the fixed groove, pushing the movable plate down to realize the connection between the connecting plate and the material conveying channel. In this way, the glue splashed out by the chip rotation can fall on the inner wall of the protective cover, and then flow downward through the feed hole into the connecting plate. Through negative pressure adsorption, the glue can be sucked into the material conveying channel. The protective cover protects the glue spraying position and can also recycle excess glue. With the addition of gas blowing, the glue adhesion to the inner wall of the protective cover is reduced, and the cleaning is improved. However, when cleaning the glue on the inner wall of the protective cover, gas blowing alone cannot effectively clean the glue on the inner wall of the protective cover. The glue will still be adsorbed on the inner wall of the protective cover due to adhesion. After long-term use, the glue will solidify, resulting in poor cleaning effect on the glue on the inner wall of the protective cover. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0016] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1 to 4As shown in this embodiment, a coating mechanism for a coating and developing machine includes a protective cover 1. A connecting plate 2 is integrally arranged in a ring array around the central axis of the protective cover 1 at its bottom end. An inclined ring 3 is integrally arranged within the inner ring of the bottom end of the protective cover 1. A connecting hole 4 is provided inside the connecting plate 2, connecting the protective cover 1 and the inclined ring 3. One end of the connecting hole 4 communicates with the connection point between the protective cover 1 and the inclined ring 3, and the other end of the connecting hole 4 passes through the inner wall of the connecting plate 2. A mounting post 5 is installed at the center of the top of the protective cover 1. The mounting post 5 is rotatable and slidable. A cleaning rod 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the mounting post 5 by bolts. The end of the cleaning rod 6 is connected to... The inner wall of the protective cover 1 is designed to allow the chip to be placed in the designated position, which then lowers the protective cover 1 for coating. During coating, the adhesive splashed from the rotating chip falls onto the inner wall of the protective cover 1. Through negative pressure adsorption, the adhesive flows downward through the connection hole 4 into the material conveying channel and is discharged. The protective cover 1 provides comprehensive protection for the adhesive spraying area. After the adhesive spraying is completed, the cleaning rod 6 on the mounting column 5 rotates along the inner wall of the protective cover 1 and descends synchronously. The cleaning rod 6 can push the adhesive on the entire inner wall of the protective cover 1. The adhesive will fall down the inner wall of the protective cover 1 to the connection hole 4 at the bottom of the protective cover 1 under the push of the end of the cleaning rod 6, thus improving the cleaning effect of the entire inner wall of the protective cover 1.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the top center of the protective cover 1 is integrally formed with a glue storage box 7, the middle of the glue storage box 7 is provided with a glue storage trough 8, the top of the glue storage box 7 is integrally provided with a feed pipe 9, the feed pipe 9 is connected to the glue storage trough 8, the bottom of the glue storage box 7 is fixedly installed with a glue spray nozzle 10 by bolts, the glue spray nozzle 10 is connected to the glue storage trough 8, and the mounting post 5 is located in the inner ring of the glue storage box 7.

[0018] By controlling the protective cover 1 to descend and move the spray nozzle 10 above the chip, the glue is transported through the feed pipe 9 and the glue storage box 7 and then sprayed onto the chip from the spray nozzle 10. The chip is rotated to perform the coating operation on the entire chip.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a lifting frame 11 is slidably mounted on the top of the protective cover 1. The mounting column 5 is rotatably mounted on the middle of the lifting frame 11 via a bearing. An external thread 12 is provided on the outer side of the mounting column 5. A fixed cylinder 13 is integrally formed in the middle of the top of the protective cover 1. An internal thread 14 is provided in the middle of the fixed cylinder 13. The external thread 12 and the internal thread 14 are threadedly connected.

[0020] When the lifting frame 11 is lowered, the external thread 12 on the mounting column 5 and the internal thread 14 in the middle of the fixed cylinder 13 will drive the mounting column 5 to rotate. The cleaning rod 6 on the mounting column 5 will rotate along the inner wall of the protective cover 1 and descend synchronously.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a motor 15 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the protective cover 1 by bolts. A screw 16 is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 15 by a shaft connector. The screw 16 is threadedly connected to the lifting frame 11. Limiting rods 17 are fixedly installed at both ends of the lifting frame 11. A limiting hole 18 is opened at the top of the protective cover 1 corresponding to the position of the limiting rod 17. The limiting rod 17 is slidably connected to the limiting hole 18.

[0022] The controller controls the operation of the motor 15, and the output shaft of the motor 15 drives the screw 16 to rotate. The screw 16 and the thread between the screw and the lifting frame 11 drive the limit rods 17 at both ends of the lifting frame 11 to slide along the limit holes 18, thereby driving the lifting frame 11 to rise and fall.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the end of the cleaning rod 6 that contacts the protective cover 1 is inclined.

[0024] When the end of the cleaning rod 6 is attached to the inner wall of the protective cover 1 and rotated, the glue on the inner wall of the protective cover 1 can flow downward along the inclined surface of the cleaning rod 6 under the push of the inclined angle of the cleaning rod 6, which facilitates the discharge of the glue.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the end of the cleaning rod 6 that contacts the protective cover 1 is provided with a guide groove 19 on the side facing the rotation direction, and the guide groove 19 is also inclined.

[0026] When the adhesive on the inner wall of the protective cover 1 is pushed by the end of the cleaning rod 6, the adhesive can flow back along the guide groove 19.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cleaning rod 6 has an inclined surface 20 at the end position corresponding to the guide groove 19.

[0028] When the adhesive on the inner wall of the protective cover 1 is pushed by the end of the cleaning rod 6, the design of the inclined surface 20 makes it easy for all the adhesive on the inner wall of the protective cover 1 to flow into the interior of the guide groove 19, thereby achieving effective cleaning of the adhesive.

[0029] This utility model provides a coating mechanism for a coating and developing machine, the specific working principle of which is as follows: When using the device, the chip is placed in the designated position. During coating, the protective cover 1 is lowered, which moves the glue nozzle 10 above the chip. Glue is then transported through the feed pipe 9 and the glue storage box 7 and sprayed onto the chip through the nozzle 10. The rotation of the chip ensures more even glue distribution. As the protective cover 1 lowers, the connecting plate 2 slides into the fixed groove on the processing table, connecting the connecting hole 4 to the material conveying channel on the processing table. During coating, glue splashed from the rotating chip falls onto the inner wall of the protective cover 1. Through negative pressure adsorption, the glue flows downwards through the connecting hole 4 into the material conveying channel and is discharged. The protective cover 1 provides comprehensive protection for the glue spraying area, preventing a large amount of glue from falling onto the processing table during the spraying process. After the glue spraying is complete, the controller drives the motor 15 to operate. The output shaft of the motor 15 drives the screw 16 to rotate. The screw 16 connects to the lifting frame 1. The thread of the lifting frame 11 will cause the limiting rods 17 at both ends of the lifting frame 11 to slide along the limiting holes 18, and drive the lifting frame 11 to descend. During the descent of the lifting frame 11, the lifting frame 11 will drive the mounting column 5 and the cleaning rod 6 mounted on the mounting column 5 to descend synchronously. The threaded connection between the external thread 12 on the mounting column 5 and the internal thread 14 in the middle of the fixed cylinder 13 will drive the mounting column 5 to rotate. The cleaning rod 6 on the mounting column 5 will rotate along the inner wall of the protective cover 1 and descend synchronously. The cleaning rod 6 can push the glue on the entire inner wall of the protective cover 1. The glue will fall along the inner wall of the protective cover 1 to the connection hole 4 at the bottom of the protective cover 1 under the push of the end of the cleaning rod 6, which improves the cleaning effect on the entire inner wall of the protective cover 1. Then, the motor 15 controls the protective cover 1 to rise, which will synchronously drive the mounting column 5 and the cleaning rod 6 on the mounting column 5 to rise synchronously relative to the protective cover 1. The processed chip can then be removed.
