Abstract
Description
Silicon wafer automatic grinding system and grinding method
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on November 1, 2023, with application number 202311443807.8 and application name “Automatic Silicon Wafer Grinding System and Grinding Method”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure relates to, but is not limited to, the field of semiconductor silicon wafer processing technology, and in particular to a system and a grinding method capable of realizing automatic loading, unloading, and automatic grinding. Background Art
[0003] In the field of solar monocrystalline silicon rod production and testing, the oxygen and carbon content index is directly related to the efficiency and fragmentation rate of the downstream factory cells, so it has become an important standard for many cell manufacturers when purchasing silicon rods and silicon wafers. The higher the oxygen content in the silicon material, the lower the conversion efficiency of the cell, and the higher the carbon content, the greater the stress and the easier it is to fragment. In order to control the oxygen and carbon content parameters of the single crystal, samples need to be cut at the head and tail of the long crystal rod when the single crystal is cut. The oxygen and carbon content is obtained by analysis using an oxygen and carbon tester, and the single crystal is graded and sorted. The samples used for oxygen and carbon testing need to be polished and prepared at designated locations. Since the oxygen and carbon tester has high requirements for the integrity, thickness, and polishing brightness of the samples, it has been difficult to break through the sample grinding and polishing technology.
[0004] Conventional polishing methods rely on manual preparation using handheld equipment, resulting in high labor costs and low polishing efficiency. This impacts product turnover, restricts production capacity, and fails to meet the demands of automated production lines. Introducing large-scale polishing equipment also presents challenges such as high procurement costs and high maintenance costs. Application Contents
