Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing equipment technology, and more specifically, to a coating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the photolithography process of semiconductor manufacturing, the photoresist coating equipment is a key piece of equipment used to uniformly coat the wafer surface with photoresist. One of its core components, the coating cup, is mainly used to collect excess photoresist and solvent splashed during high-speed spin coating, thereby protecting the equipment cavity from contamination and ensuring a stable process environment.

[0003] The coating cup requires regular cleaning, maintenance, or replacement to prevent cross-contamination of subsequent products by residues. In traditional disassembly methods, operators first unlock the cup inside the equipment, then manually lift it from its working position and move it out of the cavity through a narrow space. This process not only requires multiple operators but also forces them to extend their heads and upper bodies into the equipment, facing the risk of collisions with mechanical structures and direct exposure to chemical residues, posing health and wafer contamination safety hazards. Furthermore, the entire process is cumbersome and time-consuming, severely impacting equipment production efficiency. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0020] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0022] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product of this utility model is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides an adhesive application device 100, including a device body and an adhesive cup 200 disassembly device. The device body has a cavity 110. The adhesive cup 200 disassembly device includes a guide rail 121 for carrying the adhesive cup 200. The guide rail 121 extends from a working position A inside the cavity 110 to the outside of the cavity 110. The adhesive cup 200 can move along the guide rail 121 between the working position A and a maintenance position B outside the cavity 110. The working position A is provided with a positioning drive mechanism 122, which includes a positioning member 1221. The positioning member 1221 can move between a locked position C and an unlocked position D. When the positioning member 1221 is in the locked position C, the positioning member 1221 engages with the adhesive cup 200 located in the working position A to limit the adhesive cup 200. When the positioning member 1221 is in the unlocked position D, the positioning member 1221 separates from the other, and the adhesive cup 200 can move along the guide rail 121 to the maintenance position B.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the disassembly device for the glue cup 200 includes a guide rail 121, which extends from the working position A inside the cavity 110 of the glue application equipment 100 to the outside of the cavity 110. The guide rail 121 consists of two spaced-apart tracks, and the glue cup 200 can be placed between the two tracks. The outer wall of the glue cup 200 abuts against the inner wall of the track, allowing it to move freely along the guide rail 121 between the enclosed working position A and the open, easily accessible maintenance position B.

[0026] To ensure the glue-applying cup 200 is stable during normal operation and easy to unlock during maintenance, such as Figure 1 As shown, the disassembly device for the glue cup 200 is provided with a positioning drive mechanism 122 in the area corresponding to the working position A of the guide rail 121. The positioning drive mechanism 122 includes a positioning element 1221, which may be a pin, a stop, or other component that can limit the position of the glue cup 200.

[0027] The positioning element 1221 can move linearly in the vertical direction, and its locked position C is the highest point in the vertical direction reached by its upward movement. In this position, the positioning element 1221 forms structural interference with the glue-applying cup 200 in working position A. For example, the positioning element 1221 can abut against the outer wall of the glue-applying cup 200, thereby limiting unnecessary displacement of the glue-applying cup 200. In one optional embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the positioning element 1221 is a positioning pin; a limiting hole 201 is formed at the bottom of the glue cup 200 corresponding to the positioning pin; when the positioning element 1221 is in the locked position C, the positioning pin can be accurately inserted into the limiting hole 201. This arrangement achieves precise circumferential positioning, preventing the glue cup 200 from rotating, and also allows the top of the positioning pin to withstand vertical force, achieving reliable limiting. Correspondingly, as... Figure 6 As shown, the unlocked position D of the positioning member 1221 is the lowest point in the vertical direction reached by its downward movement. At this position, the positioning member 1221 is completely separated from the glue cup 200, and the positioning member 1221 releases the restriction on the glue cup 200, allowing the glue cup 200 to move freely along the guide rail 121. At this time, the operator can easily pull the glue cup 200 outward along the guide rail 121 until it reaches the maintenance position B outside the cavity 110.

[0028] The vertical movement of the positioning element 1221 enables switching between the working position A and the unlocking position D, thus achieving reliable locking and convenient unlocking of the glue cup 200.

[0029] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, in one possible embodiment of this application, the positioning drive mechanism 122 includes a drive member 1222, and the output end 1222a of the drive member 1222 is drivenly connected to the positioning member 1221 to drive the positioning member 1221 to move in the vertical direction.

[0030] Specifically, the output end 1222a of the drive component 1222 is directly driven and connected to the positioning component 1221, controlling the positioning component 1221 to move linearly in the vertical direction. This simulates the insertion and removal of a pin, making the process of limiting and releasing the positioning component 1221 on the glue cup 200 simpler, more stable, and faster. For example, when locking is required, the drive component 1222 pushes the positioning component 1221 upward, inserting it into the corresponding structure at the bottom of the glue cup 200; when unlocking is required, the drive component 1222 pulls the positioning component 1221 downward, removing it from the glue cup 200 structure. This movement method ensures the accuracy and repeatability of the action.

[0031] Optionally, the driving component 1222 is a cylinder. Powered by compressed air, the cylinder is robust, operates rapidly, and is suitable for the working environment of semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The cylinder achieves its extension and retraction by exhausting or inletting air. When the cylinder exhausts air, its output end 1222a retracts the positioning component 1221, separating it from the coating cup 200. When the cylinder inlets air, its output end 1222a extends the positioning component 1221, limiting its position on the coating cup 200.

[0032] The adhesive application equipment 100 provided in this application includes an equipment body and an adhesive cup 200 disassembly device. The equipment body has a cavity 110; the adhesive cup 200 disassembly device includes a guide rail 121 for supporting the adhesive cup 200, the guide rail 121 extending from the working position A inside the cavity 110 to the outside of the cavity 110; the adhesive cup 200 can move along the guide rail 121 between the working position A and the maintenance position B, extending the guide rail 121 to the outside of the cavity 110, so that the operator no longer needs to put their head and upper body into the equipment, avoiding the risk of collision with the internal mechanical structure, and also keeping away from chemical contaminants inside the cavity 110, thus improving the safety and reliability of the operation process; the working position A is provided with a positioning drive mechanism 122, whose The device includes a positioning element 1221, which is driven to move between a locked position C and an unlocked position D. When the positioning element 1221 is in the locked position C, it engages with the coating cup 200 located in the working position A to limit the coating cup 200. In the high-speed spin coating working position A, the positioning drive mechanism 122 can precisely lock the cup through the positioning element 1221 to prevent it from moving or vibrating, ensuring process quality. When the positioning element 1221 is in the unlocked position D, it separates from the coating cup 200, allowing it to move along the guide rail 121 to the maintenance position B. When maintenance is required, the positioning element 1221 can be driven to the unlocked position D to release the fixation of the cup. Compared with the traditional manual unlocking method, this operation is simpler and more controllable, reducing the risk of misoperation. The above-mentioned coating equipment 100 simplifies the disassembly and assembly process of the coating cup 200, improving disassembly and assembly efficiency and operational safety.

[0033] To further enhance automation and operational reliability, for example, the positioning drive mechanism 122 also includes a position sensor, which is located beside the movement path of the output end 1222a of the drive member 1222, or the position sensor is located beside the movement path of the positioning member 1221, to detect the movement position of the positioning member 1221.

[0034] Specifically, the position sensor is flexibly arranged and can be placed along the movement path of the output terminal 1222a of the drive member 1222. The position of the positioning member 1221 can be indirectly determined by detecting the position of the drive member 1222. For example, when the drive member 1222 is a cylinder, the position of the positioning member 1221 can be determined by detecting the piston rod of the cylinder. Alternatively, it can be directly placed along the movement path of the positioning member 1221 to directly detect its position, thereby accurately sensing in real time whether the positioning member 1221 has reached the predetermined locking position C or unlocking position D.

[0035] By setting up a position sensor, accurate status feedback between the positioning component 1221 and the glue cup 200 can be provided, preventing the glue cup 200 from starting high-speed rotation in an unlocked state. It also prevents the glue cup 200 from being forcibly pulled out by the operator during the process of being limited by the positioning component 1221, which would cause damage to the positioning component 1221 and the glue cup 200, greatly improving operational safety and equipment reliability.

[0036] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the position sensor includes a first sensor 1231 and a second sensor 1232 arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. When the position sensor is located beside the movement path of the output end 1222a of the drive member 1222, the first sensor 1231 is located at the physical position when the corresponding output end 1222a reaches the locked position C, and the second sensor 1232 is located at the physical position when the corresponding output end 1222a reaches the unlocked position D. When the position sensor is located beside the movement path of the positioning member 1221, the first sensor 1231 is located at the physical position when the corresponding positioning member 1221 reaches the locked position C, and the second sensor 1232 is located at the physical position when the corresponding positioning member 1221 reaches the unlocked position D.

[0037] Specifically, the position sensor can be embodied as a first sensor 1231 and a second sensor 1232 arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. When the position sensor is located next to the output terminal 1222a of the drive member 1222, the first sensor 1231 is located at the physical mounting point when the output terminal 1222a reaches the locked position C, and the second sensor 1232 is located at the physical mounting point when the unlocked position D is reached; when the position sensor is located next to the positioning member 1221, the first sensor 1231 is located at the physical mounting point when the positioning member 1221 itself reaches the locked position C, and the second sensor 1232 is located at the physical mounting point when the positioning member 1221 reaches the unlocked position D.

[0038] By cooperating with the first sensor 1231 and the second sensor 1232, the single-point prediction or indirect judgment of the status of the positioning component 1221 can be eliminated, and high-precision feedback of the status of the positioning component 1221 can be achieved. This not only improves safety, but also significantly improves the efficiency and standardization of maintenance operations.

[0039] Optionally, the disassembly device for the glue cup 200 also includes a solenoid valve, which is connected to the air circuit of the cylinder and is used to control the intake and exhaust of the cylinder in the same direction; the position sensor is connected to the solenoid valve signal, and when the position sensor detects that the positioning element 1221 has reached the locked position C or the unlocked position D, it sends a signal to the solenoid valve to stop the solenoid valve from supplying air to the cylinder.

[0040] Specifically, the solenoid valve is connected in series in the air passage leading to the cylinder. As a switch for the air passage, it is responsible for controlling the intake and exhaust of compressed air to the cylinder, thereby determining the extension and retraction of the cylinder.

[0041] The position sensor is connected to the solenoid valve. When the position sensor detects that the positioning element 1221 has accurately reached the preset locked position C or unlocked position D, it sends an electrical signal to the solenoid valve. Upon receiving this signal, the solenoid valve stops supplying air to the cylinder. This action causes the cylinder piston to stop moving, thereby precisely holding the positioning element 1221 in the target position. This operation method not only eliminates the need for manual judgment and stopping by the operator, but also reduces the possibility of damage to the equipment due to over-driving, improving the reliability and safety of the system.

[0042] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the guide rail 121 includes a first section 1211 and a second section 1212 connected to each other. The first section 1211 corresponds to the working position A, and the second section 1212 corresponds to the maintenance position B. The second section 1212 is hinged to the first section 1211, so that the second section 1212 can tilt relative to the first section 1211.

[0043] Specifically, the guide rail 121 consists of a first section 1211 and a second section 1212. The first section 1211 is mainly located inside the cavity 110, corresponding to the working position A, while the second section 1212 extends outside the cavity 110, corresponding to the maintenance position B. The first section 1211 has a horizontal structure, and the second section 1212 is hinged to the first section 1211 and can be tilted relative to the first section 1211, or both the second section 1212 and the first section 1211 can be set horizontally.

[0044] Because the second segment 1212 is hinged to the first segment 1211, the second segment 1212 can tilt downwards relative to the first segment 1211. After the glue cup 200 is moved to maintenance position B, the operator can drive the second segment 1212 to rotate around the hinge point, causing it to tilt downwards naturally, forming a ramp-like structure. At this point, the glue cup 200 can slide smoothly down the ramp under its own weight. The operator only needs to catch it at the end with a packaging bag, eliminating the need for strenuous lifting and further reducing labor intensity. This also avoids the risk of the glue cup 200 slipping due to manual handling.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the guide rail 121 further includes an extended guide portion 124 fixedly connected to the side of the first segment 1211 near the second segment 1212. The extended guide portion 124 includes a first guide rail 1241 and a second guide rail 1242 connected to each other, and the extending directions of the first guide rail 1241 and the second guide rail 1242 are perpendicular to each other. The end of the second segment 1212 can move along the first guide rail 1241 and the second guide rail 1242. The hinge point between the second segment 1212 and the first segment 1211 faces the first guide rail 1212. A first positioning hole is provided on one side of segment 1211, a second positioning hole 1242a is provided on the second guide rail 1242, and a third positioning hole 1241a is provided on the first guide rail 1241. When the second segment 1212 is inclined relative to the first segment 1211, the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole 1242a are coaxially arranged and used to pass through a fastener for locking. When the second segment 1212 is horizontally arranged, the first positioning hole and the third positioning hole 1241a are coaxially arranged and used to pass through a fastener for locking.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the extended guide portion 124 includes a first guide rail 1241 and a second guide rail 1242 connected to each other. Since the extension directions of the first guide rail 1241 and the second guide rail 1242 are perpendicular to each other, when the end of the second segment 1212 of the guide rail 121 moves from the first guide rail 1241 to the second guide rail 1242, its end rises to be inclined relative to the first segment 1211; when the end of the second segment 1212 of the guide rail 121 moves from the second guide rail 1242 to the first guide rail 1241, its end gradually descends to be parallel to the first segment 1211 and in a horizontal state. During the movement of the end of the second segment 1212 along the extended guide portion 124, the extended guide portion 124 can guide and limit the movement path of the second segment 1212.

[0047] The connection between the first guide rail 1241 and the second guide rail 1242 is provided with an arc-shaped chamfer to ensure the smooth movement of the end of the second segment 1212 of the guide rail 121 along the extended guide portion 124. Preferably, the first guide rail 1241 and the second guide rail 1242 are integrally formed parts.

[0048] The second guide rail 1242 has a second positioning hole 1242a, and the second segment 1212 has a corresponding first positioning hole. The first positioning hole is located at the hinge point between the second segment 1212 and the first segment 1211, on the side facing the first segment 1211, that is, at the end of the second segment 1212 that moves upward along the extended guide portion 124 when tilted.

[0049] When the second segment 1212 is in a horizontal position, the first positioning hole and the third positioning hole 1241a of the first guide rail 1241 are coaxially arranged. At this time, the second segment 1212 can be locked and fixed to the first guide rail 1241 of the extended guide portion 124 by means of a fastener, so that the second segment 1212 always remains in a horizontal position. When tilting is required, the fastener is pulled out, so that the second segment 1212 can rotate relative to the first segment 1211 about the hinge point and move along the extended guide portion 124.

[0050] When the second segment 1212 is in an inclined state, the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole 1242a are coaxially arranged. At this time, the second segment 1212 and the second guide rail 1242 can be locked and fixed by the fastener, so that the second segment 1212 always remains in the inclined position.

[0051] By extending the guide section 124, the second section 1212 can remain fixed in both horizontal and inclined states, which improves the stability of the guide rail 121 during the operation of the glue application equipment 100, further enhancing the reliability of the glue application cup 200 moving along the guide rail 121 and the flexibility of the glue application cup 200 disassembly process.

[0052] The specific method of using the adhesive application equipment 100 provided in this application is as follows: When the glue cup 200 needs to be replaced or maintained, the operator can first trigger the positioning drive mechanism 122 through the control interface outside the glue application equipment 100. Specifically, the operator issues an unlocking command, and the cylinder then drives the positioning component 1221 from the locked position C to the unlocked position D. During this process, the second sensor 1232, located beside the movement path, will detect the displacement of the positioning component 1221 in real time. Once it accurately detects that it has reached the unlocked position D, it immediately sends a signal to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve responds and cuts off the air supply, causing the cylinder to stop moving. At this time, the positioning component 1221 has completely separated from the bottom of the glue cup 200, releasing the limit on the glue cup 200.

[0053] Subsequently, the operator can safely and manually pull the glue cup 200 from outside the cavity 110. In the unlocked state, the glue cup 200 can be dragged from the internal working position A to the external maintenance position B along the guide rail 121 that extends from inside the cavity 110 to outside the door.

[0054] Once the glue cup 200 reaches maintenance position B, the operator can prepare for disassembly. If the glue cup 200 needs to be completely removed, the fasteners connecting the first guide rail 1241 and the second section 1212 in the extended guide section 124 can be removed. This allows the second section 1212 of the guide rail 121 to move along the extended guide section 124 under the action of the hinge point. During this movement, the second section 1212 naturally tilts downwards relative to the first section 1211, forming a discharge ramp. The operator can connect the second guide rail 1242 and the second section 1212 in the extended guide section 124 using the fasteners to improve the stability of the ramp. At this point, the glue cup 200 can slide smoothly down the ramp under its own weight, and the operator only needs to catch it with a packaging bag at the end of the guide rail 121.

[0055] When installing a new applicator cup 200, the process is reversed. First, the new applicator cup 200 is placed on the second section 1212 of the inclined guide rail 121. Then, it is raised and leveled, and a fixing member is inserted through the first guide rail 1241 of the extended guide portion 124 and the second section 1212 of the guide rail 121 to relock the guide rail 121 into a horizontal extended state. Next, the applicator cup 200 is pushed along the guide rail 121 into the equipment until it accurately returns to the innermost working position A. Finally, the operator triggers a locking command from the outside, and the cylinder drives the positioning member 1221 to rise until the first sensor 1231 detects that it has reached the locking position C and sends a feedback signal. The solenoid valve actuates to stop the cylinder, and the positioning member 1221 reliably engages with the applicator cup 200, completing precise positioning and fastening.
