Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chip processing technology, and in particular relates to a chip clean workbench for filtering particulate impurities. Background Technology

[0002] Wafer dicing is a key step in semiconductor manufacturing. Its core objective is to divide a whole wafer into individual chip units while ensuring chip performance and manufacturing yield.

[0003] In the post-dicing process of semiconductor manufacturing, a large number of diced wafers remain tightly attached to the bottom film. If the tiny particles generated during the dicing process are not cleaned in time, they will directly threaten chip yield and the cleanliness of the production environment. Currently, the industry generally relies on manual vacuum cleaners to handle each wafer individually. Manual operation is slow and cannot match the pace requirements of high-speed automated production lines, resulting in limited overall production efficiency. The airflow disturbance generated during the vacuum cleaner adsorption process can easily cause micron-sized particles to escape the adsorption range, scatter onto the workbench, or even spread into the cleanroom environment, contaminating the cleanroom. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that wafer dicing relies heavily on manual vacuuming of individual wafers, which is slow and difficult to match the pace of high-speed automated production lines, resulting in limited overall production efficiency. Furthermore, the airflow disturbance generated during vacuuming can cause micron-sized particles to escape the adsorption range, scatter onto the workbench, or even spread into the cleanroom environment, contaminating the cleanroom. Therefore, this invention proposes a chip clean workbench for filtering particulate impurities.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a chip cleaning workbench for filtering particulate impurities, comprising a workbench on which a wafer receiving box is provided, and several wafers are placed in the wafer receiving box; a sealing cover is detachably connected to the wafer receiving box, and the bottom of the wafer receiving box is sealed to a negative pressure balance seat; the negative pressure box and the negative pressure balance seat are connected.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The inner wall of the wafer receiving box is provided with an arc-shaped abutment and several limiting blocks. The wafer is snapped between two of the limiting blocks, and the bottom of the wafer abuts against the arc-shaped abutment.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The wafer housing is provided with a first sealing groove at the top and a first sealing strip at the bottom of the sealing cover, with the first sealing strip abutting against the first sealing groove.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The bottom of the negative pressure balance seat is provided with several guide plates, and the several guide plates form an airflow channel, which is located at the bottom of the wafer.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The negative pressure balance seat is provided with a second sealing strip on the top, and the wafer receiving box is provided with a second sealing groove inside, with the second sealing strip and the second sealing groove matching each other.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The negative pressure box is equipped with a dust bin.

[0016] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, a wafer receiving box is set on the workbench, and several wafers are placed in the wafer receiving box. The top of the wafer receiving box is sealed by a sealing cover, and the bottom is sealed and connected to the negative pressure balance seat. The negative pressure box and the negative pressure balance seat are connected. When the wafer is cut, the wafer is placed in the wafer receiving box. The negative pressure box works to create a negative pressure inside the wafer receiving box, so that the particles cut on the wafer are sucked into the dust bin inside the negative pressure box, thus completing the cleaning of the particles on the wafer. An industrial vacuum cleaner can be used to replace the negative pressure box. The suction port of the industrial vacuum cleaner is connected to the negative pressure balance seat.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, by setting a negative pressure balance seat, the airflow in the negative pressure runs along the airflow channel, carrying away the cutting particles on the wafer surface, and preventing the negative pressure airflow from running around in the wafer housing box and damaging the wafer. This structure prevents micron-sized particles from leaving the adsorption range and falling onto the workbench or even spreading into the cleanroom environment, thus contaminating the cleanroom.

[0019] 3. In this invention, several wafers are placed vertically into the wafer housing, so that the particles on the wafers are not only subject to negative pressure adsorption, but also to their own gravity, ensuring that the particles on the wafers can be successfully removed.
