Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of nuclear technology application and semiconductor manufacturing, and specifically relates to a tray structure for wafer proton irradiation. Background Technology

[0002] Wafer proton irradiation trays are key components in semiconductor manufacturing that support wafers for proton irradiation processing. They must meet requirements for high precision, high temperature resistance, stability, and compatibility.

[0003] Currently, wafers used for proton irradiation are confined to a process terminal within a high-vacuum environment. This presents certain technical challenges for supporting the irradiated wafers. Firstly, the wafer support tray needs to reciprocate within the process terminal, which places certain demands on the tray's wear resistance. However, existing tray technologies rely on the entire flat surface of the tray for wear resistance (as shown below). Figure 1 Although it is rolling friction, the tray will still wear out after high-frequency reciprocating motion. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tray structure for wafer proton irradiation, to solve the problem that the working environment of wafers used for proton irradiation is currently confined within a process terminal and in a high vacuum environment. This poses certain technical challenges to the irradiation of the wafers. First, the tray supporting the wafer needs to move back and forth within the process terminal, which places certain requirements on the wear resistance of the tray. However, the wear resistance of existing trays is achieved through the contact of the entire flat surface of the tray (as follows). Figure 1 Although it is rolling friction, the pallet will still experience wear after high-frequency reciprocating motion.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution: A tray structure for wafer proton irradiation includes a bent tray base, the bent tray base being made of 5051 aluminum alloy, the left and right ends of the bent tray base being bent into standard angle aluminum with a right angle structure, the thickness of the standard angle aluminum being 2mm, and high-temperature resistant Teflon tape being pasted on the surface of the standard angle aluminum.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the top of the bending tray seat is provided with a plurality of semi-circular wafer positioning holes.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the wafer positioning hole and the bending tray seat are integrally formed.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a wafer support ring is placed inside the wafer positioning hole.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bending tray seat raises the bottom surface of the bending tray seat by bending a standard angle aluminum into a right angle structure, and the bending tray seat contacts the stainless steel roller through the 2mm thickness of the bottom surface of the standard angle aluminum.

[0010] This utility model has been improved: by reducing the contact area (below) Figure 2 (.) And by using high-temperature Teflon tape, the coefficient of friction and friction area can be reduced as much as possible.

[0011] In terms of precision and operation, firstly, the overall pallet processing method has been improved, eliminating more bending steps from the structural design and reducing the impact of bending on the overall flatness of the pallet. Secondly, structural deformation caused by welding can be corrected using standard angle aluminum, further improving the overall processing precision of the pallet.

[0012] In actual irradiation, the wafer positioning holes added to the bent tray base to increase yield will bring processing steps to the entire tray assembly. To address this, raising the bent tray base structure can eliminate the need for deburring, grinding and polishing the entire tray.

[0013] Regarding element contamination and wear, design improvements were made. First, compared to existing bending tray seats with large-area friction, this invention uses a 2mm surface friction of standard angle aluminum. At the same time, high-temperature resistant Teflon tape is adhered to the surface of the standard angle aluminum to further reduce the surface friction coefficient, thereby reducing the problem of element contamination of the wafer caused by wear.

[0014] This invention improves the pallet processing method by structurally reducing the number of bends and adding corrective aluminum angles to precisely control processing accuracy.

[0015] This utility model improves the pallet processing method, optimizes pallet weight and wear, adds standard angle aluminum to the structure to facilitate procurement and processing, and adds high-temperature Teflon tape to reduce wear and element contamination.

Simultaneously, high-temperature resistant Teflon tape is adhered to the surface of the standard angle aluminum 2 to further reduce the surface friction coefficient, thereby reducing the problem of element contamination of the wafer caused by wear.

[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the present invention has made improvements: by reducing the contact area (below) Figure 2 In addition, high-temperature Teflon tape is used to minimize the coefficient of friction and friction area.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, regarding accuracy and operation, firstly, the overall processing method of the pallet is improved, eliminating more bending steps structurally and reducing the impact of bending on the overall flatness of the pallet. Secondly, structural deformation caused by welding can be corrected using standard angle aluminum, further improving the overall processing accuracy of the pallet.

[0029] In actual irradiation, the wafer positioning holes added to the bent tray base to increase yield will bring processing steps to the entire tray assembly. To address this, raising the bent tray base structure can eliminate the need for deburring, grinding and polishing the entire tray.
