[0017] Compared with the prior art, the phosphorus and boron-silicon etching cleaning equipment has the following advantages:
[0018] When the battery silicon wafer is processed by the acid pickling and drying integrated chain machine body and then discharged, the mechanical arm drives the electric negative pressure suction disc assembly to approach the upper surface of the battery silicon wafer through the industrial computer, and then the industrial computer controls the electric negative pressure suction disc assembly to stably suck the battery silicon wafer, and then the industrial computer drives the mechanical arm and the electric negative pressure suction disc assembly to move above the reprocessing tank through the driving mechanism, and then the industrial computer controls the mechanical arm to make the battery silicon wafer approach the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism, and the industrial computer controls the CCD vision camera and the fill-in light to be started at the same time, the light of the fill-in light irradiates on the battery silicon wafer, and then the CCD vision camera shoots the battery silicon wafer in the light receiving state, and the vision detection software loaded in the industrial computer is used for auxiliary detection, and the light spot on the side of the battery silicon wafer close to the CCD vision camera in the light receiving state is automatically detected, if the light spot exists, it indicates that the battery silicon wafer is over-etched and unqualified, otherwise, it indicates that the battery silicon wafer is not over-etched and is preliminarily qualified, and the mechanism has the function of battery silicon wafer over-etching detection for the battery silicon wafer wet etching equipment.
[0019] When the battery silicon wafer passes through the CCD vision camera and the industrial computer for preliminary detection and is qualified, the battery silicon wafer still needs to pass through the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism for secondary detection. At this time, the multi-channel voltage measuring instrument in the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism cooperates with the four sets of contact assemblies and measures the voltage of the four side edges of the battery silicon wafer. At the same time, the multi-channel voltage measuring instrument sends the voltage detected by the contact assembly on each detection channel to the industrial computer in the form of an electrical signal. If one or more sets of voltage values are lower than the standard voltage value at the etched edge after comparison, it means that the edge of the battery silicon wafer still has a PN junction due to incomplete etching, which leads to a short circuit in the edge area of the battery silicon wafer and causes the resistance to decrease and the current to pass easily. As a result, the voltage at the side edge of the battery silicon wafer decreases. Then, the industrial computer controls the mechanical arm to move the battery silicon wafer to the battery silicon wafer wet etching mechanism. The mechanism has the function of detecting incomplete etching of the battery silicon wafer in the wet etching equipment, improving the reliability of the wet etching equipment for the battery silicon wafer.
[0020] When the battery silicon wafer side edge has incomplete etching, the industrial computer controls the mechanical arm to move the battery silicon wafer to the battery silicon wafer wet etching mechanism for targeted re-etching of the incomplete etching position. After re-etching, the water washing and drying mechanism is used for cleaning and drying. The dried battery silicon wafer is detected by the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism and transported to the next processing position if qualified. The mechanism enables the phosphorus and boron removal silicon etching and cleaning equipment to have the function of precise re-etching of incomplete etching of the battery silicon wafer, which not only improves the quality of the battery silicon wafer processing, but also improves the convenience and efficiency of the wet etching processing of the battery silicon wafer.

[0043] The operation principle of the present application is described as follows: when the battery silicon wafer is processed by the wet etching of the acid washing and drying chain body 1, at this time, the mechanical arm 2 drives the electric negative pressure suction disc assembly 3 to approach the upper surface of the battery silicon wafer through the industrial computer 7, then the industrial computer 7 controls the electric negative pressure suction disc assembly 3 to stably suck the battery silicon wafer, and then the industrial computer 7 controls the servo motor 53 to rotate forward, the forward rotating servo motor 53 moves the fixed frame 55 through the threaded cylinder 54 and the screw rod 52, the fixed frame 55 drives the mechanical arm 2 and the electric negative pressure suction disc assembly 3 to move above the reprocessing tank 14, and then the servo motor 53 stops rotating, and then the industrial computer 7 controls the mechanical arm 2 to make the battery silicon wafer approach the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism 6, at the same time, the industrial computer 7 controls the CCD visual camera 64 and the fill light 65 to start, the light of the fill light 65 irradiates on the battery silicon wafer, then the CCD visual camera 64 takes a picture of the battery silicon wafer in the light receiving state, and the visual detection software loaded in the industrial computer 7 is used for auxiliary detection, the light spot on the side of the battery silicon wafer close to the CCD visual camera 64 in the light receiving state is automatically detected, if the CCD visual camera 64 cooperates with the industrial computer 7 to automatically detect that there is a light spot on the battery silicon wafer in the light receiving state, it indicates that the battery silicon wafer has over-etching and is unqualified, then the industrial computer 7 automatically controls the servo motor 53 to reverse according to the detection result, the reversed servo motor 53 makes the fixed frame 55 move above the waste collection tank 18, then the industrial computer 7 controls the mechanical arm 2 and the electric negative pressure suction disc assembly 3 to put the over-etched battery silicon wafer into the waste collection tank 18, if the CCD visual camera 64 cooperates with the industrial computer 7 to detect that there is no light spot on the battery silicon wafer in the light receiving state, it indicates that the battery silicon wafer has no over-etching and is preliminarily qualified.
[0044] When the battery silicon wafer is preliminarily detected by the CCD vision camera 64 and the industrial computer 7, the battery silicon wafer still needs to be detected by the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism 6, at this time, the multi-channel voltage measuring instrument 62 in the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism 6 cooperates with the four sets of contact assemblies 63, and measures the voltage of the four sides of the battery silicon wafer, at the same time, the multi-channel voltage measuring instrument 62 sends the voltage detected by the contact assembly 63 on each detection channel to the industrial computer 7 in the form of an electrical signal, at this time, the four detection assemblies are labeled as A1, A2, A3 and A4 in the clockwise direction by the industrial computer 7, then the industrial computer 7 analyzes the electrical signal to obtain the voltage value, and compares the measured voltage value with the standard voltage value at the etched edge preset by the industrial computer 7, if the four sets of voltage values are consistent with the standard voltage value at the etched edge within the error range, it means that the battery silicon wafer is qualified in the wet etching process in the pickling and drying integrated chain type machine main body 1, then the industrial computer 7 automatically controls the mechanical arm 2 and the electric negative pressure suction disc assembly 3 to move the battery silicon wafer to the conveying belt of the assembly line and convey it to the next station according to the detection result of the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism 6, if one or more sets of voltage values are lower than the standard voltage value at the etched edge after comparison, it means that the edge of the battery silicon wafer still has PN junction due to incomplete etching, which leads to short circuit in the edge area of the battery silicon wafer, and the problem of reduced resistance and easy current passing, thereby reducing the voltage of the side wall of the battery silicon wafer in that direction, then the industrial computer 7 determines the side wall of the battery silicon wafer in which direction has the problem of incomplete etching according to the voltage electrical signal sent by the multi-channel voltage measuring instrument 62, then the industrial computer 7 controls the mechanical arm 2 to move the battery silicon wafer to the battery silicon wafer re-wet etching mechanism 8, at the same time, the industrial computer 7 controls the electromagnetic control valve 810 corresponding to the side wall of the battery silicon wafer with incomplete etching to be started, and the industrial computer 7 labels the four electromagnetic control valves 810 installed on the first hollow cover 83 in the clockwise direction as B1, B2, B3 and B4 in turn, which is used for the battery silicon wafer wet etching equipment with the functions of battery silicon wafer over-etching and incomplete etching detection, and improves the reliability of the battery silicon wafer wet etching equipment.
[0045] When the contact assembly 63 at A1 position detects that the battery wafer side edge etching is not complete and needs to be trimmed, at this time the battery wafer is moved by the mechanical arm 2 to above the liquid jet nozzle 811 in the battery wafer re-wet etching mechanism 8, and the industrial computer 7 controls the electromagnetic control valve 810 at B1 position to open, and the industrial computer 7 controls the time of the electromagnetic control valve 810 at B1 position to open in proportion to the voltage value detected by the contact assembly 63 at A1 position, that is, the smaller the battery wafer side edge measurement voltage value, the more PN junctions in the battery wafer side wall area, that is, the higher the degree of incomplete etching, and then the more acid solution sprayed by the electromagnetic control valve 810 and the liquid jet nozzle 811, thereby ensuring that the battery wafer etching incomplete side has sufficient time to complete the re-wet etching process, improving the quality of battery wafer etching process, at this time the industrial computer 7 also controls the start of the air pump 85, the air pump 85 transports air to the acid liquid storage area 82 through the exhaust one-way valve 86, and the air pushes the acid solution in the acid liquid storage area 82 along the conduit 89 to the first hollow cover 83, then the acid solution enters the liquid jet nozzle 811 through the opened electromagnetic control valve 810, and then the acid solution in the liquid jet nozzle 811 sprays to the battery wafer etching incomplete side to complete the re-wet etching, after the battery wafer re-wet etching process is completed, the industrial computer 7 controls the air pump 85 and the corresponding position electromagnetic control valve 810 to be powered off, then the industrial computer 7 controls the mechanical arm 2 to move the battery wafer to above the second hollow cover 92 of the water washing and drying mechanism 9, and the same applies to the contact assembly 63 at A2, A3 and A4 positions detecting that the battery wafer side edge etching is not complete and needs to be trimmed, the industrial computer 7 controls the electromagnetic control valve 810 at B2, B3 and B4 positions to open;
[0046] At this time, the industrial computer 7 controls the air inlet control valve to be powered on for 30 seconds, and during the 30 seconds, the water supply pipe 99 delivers pure water to the inside of the second hollow cover 92. Finally, the pure water is sprayed to the battery silicon wafer through the water nozzle for water washing. When the battery silicon wafer wet etching equipment is working, the industrial computer 7 also controls the semiconductor refrigerator 93 to work. The semiconductor refrigerator 93 lowers the temperature of the ceramic heat conduction bar 94 on the refrigeration side. The low-temperature ceramic heat conduction bar 94 maintains the temperature of the acid solution in the acid solution storage area 82 at 8 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is high, the etching acid solution will be unstable during the etching process, which will affect the precision of the battery silicon wafer etching process. The etching acid solution temperature generally should not exceed 10 degrees Celsius for a long time. In addition, the heat on the heat dissipation side of the semiconductor refrigerator 93 is carried by the air delivered by the air inlet fan 911. The air carrying heat can increase the water temperature of the water washing, and the high water temperature can improve the flushing of the residual acid solution on the surface of the battery silicon wafer, speed up the dissolution of the residual acid solution, and improve the effect of the water washing. After 30 seconds, the water inlet control valve 98 is controlled to be powered off and closed by the industrial computer 7, and no pure water enters the second hollow cover 92. At this time, the second hollow cover 92 delivers air with a higher temperature, which facilitates the drying of the battery silicon wafer after water washing. The dried battery silicon wafer is detected by the battery silicon wafer detection mechanism 6, and is transported to the next processing position after passing the detection. The mechanism enables the etching incomplete battery silicon wafer precise re-etching processing function of the phosphorus removal and boron removal silicon etching and cleaning equipment. It can not only improve the quality of the battery silicon wafer processing, but also improve the convenience and efficiency of the battery silicon wafer wet etching processing.
