Description

承載裝置 Carrying device

本發明是有關於一種承載裝置,特別是指一種在製程中用以承載及定位待加工工件的承載裝置。 The invention relates to a carrying device, in particular to a carrying device for carrying and positioning a workpiece to be processed in a manufacturing process.

現有應用在例如半導體的曝光製程中的承載裝置,通常包括一用以承載並定位晶圓的承載盤,及一升降機構。承載盤具有一承載頂面、一底面、複數個貫穿承載頂面與底面的穿孔,及複數個形成於承載頂面的吸附溝槽。升降機構包含複數根分別穿設於穿孔並可相對於承載盤上下移動的銷桿。當升降機構的銷桿位在一承接位置時,銷桿凸伸出承載頂面,此時,移載裝置會移載晶圓並將其置放於銷桿上。隨後,銷桿會帶動晶圓向下移動,使晶圓置於承載頂面上。藉由吸附溝槽吸氣時所產生的吸力作用,使得晶圓能被吸附在承載頂面上。 Existing carrier devices for use in, for example, semiconductor exposure processes typically include a carrier disk for carrying and positioning the wafer, and a lifting mechanism. The carrier tray has a loading top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of perforations extending through the top surface and the bottom surface of the bearing, and a plurality of adsorption grooves formed on the top surface of the bearing. The lifting mechanism includes a plurality of pins that are respectively threaded through the perforations and movable up and down relative to the carrier. When the pin of the lifting mechanism is in a receiving position, the pin protrudes from the carrying top surface, and at this time, the transfer device transfers the wafer and places it on the pin. Subsequently, the pin will move the wafer down, placing the wafer on the top surface of the carrier. The suction force generated by the suction of the adsorption groove enables the wafer to be adsorbed on the top surface of the carrier.

由於晶圓經過多道製程後,晶圓會產生翹曲的現象,且各銷桿外周緣與對應穿孔的內孔面之間形成有間隙,因此,當吸附溝槽在吸氣的過程中,承載盤外部的氣體會持續地經由前述間隙流入吸附溝槽內,導致吸附溝槽無法在承載頂面與晶圓之間抽真空。所以,現有承載裝置 無法穩固且確實地將晶圓定位在承載頂面,使得承載裝置帶動晶圓朝光罩方向移動的過程中,易造成晶圓脫離承載頂面而掉落的情形產生。再者,現有承載裝置更無法對晶圓進行整平的動作,導致晶圓無法準確地與光罩進行對位。 Since the wafer undergoes a plurality of processes, the wafer is warped, and a gap is formed between the outer circumference of each pin and the inner hole surface of the corresponding perforation. Therefore, when the adsorption groove is in the process of inhaling, The gas outside the carrier disk continuously flows into the adsorption trench through the gap, resulting in the adsorption trench not being able to draw a vacuum between the carrier top surface and the wafer. Therefore, the existing carrier device The wafer cannot be stably and surely positioned on the top surface of the carrier, so that the carrier device drives the wafer to move toward the reticle, which may cause the wafer to fall off the top surface of the carrier and fall. Moreover, the existing carrier device is even more incapable of leveling the wafer, and the wafer cannot be accurately aligned with the mask.

因此,本發明之主要目的,即在提供一種承載裝置,藉由承載盤的吸氣流道所產生的吸力吸附待加工工件,使待加工工件能穩固且確實地定位在承載盤的承載頂面。再者,藉由吸氣流道以抽真空的方式吸附待加工工件,真空吸附時所產生的強大吸力能完全地吸附待加工工件使其平貼在平整的承載頂面上,藉此,能有效地將翹曲之待加工工件整平。 Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a carrying device that absorbs a workpiece to be processed by suction generated by an air suction passage of a carrier, so that the workpiece to be processed can be stably and surely positioned on the top surface of the carrier. . Furthermore, the workpiece to be processed is adsorbed by vacuuming the airflow path, and the strong suction force generated by vacuum adsorption can completely adsorb the workpiece to be processed and flatten it on the flat top surface of the bearing, thereby enabling Effectively flatten the warped workpiece to be machined.

參閱圖4、圖5及圖6,承載盤2的盤體21界定有一貫穿承載頂面211與底面214的第一吸氣流道216,第一吸氣流道216包含三條由承載頂面211向下凹陷的 第一溝槽217、複數個由承載頂面211向下凹陷的第二溝槽218,及一貫穿承載頂面211與底面214的氣孔219。各第一溝槽217呈長形狀,各第一溝槽217由承載頂面211中心向外延伸,三條第一溝槽217內側端彼此相連通。該等第二溝槽218呈同心圓狀地彼此相間隔排列且分別具有不同直徑,該等第二溝槽218與該等第一溝槽217相連通。氣孔219頂端位於盤體21中心並且連通於第一溝槽217內側端,氣孔219底端用以供一第一氣嘴51插置,第一氣嘴51與一抽氣機構(圖未示)相連接。當抽氣機構運作時,第一氣嘴51能透過氣孔219對第一溝槽217及第二溝槽218抽氣,藉此,第一溝槽217及第二溝槽218所產生的吸力能將待加工工件1穩固地吸附在承載頂面211上。 Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the disk body 21 of the carrier tray 2 defines a first air intake channel 216 extending through the top surface 211 and the bottom surface 214. The first air suction channel 216 includes three top surfaces 211. Shrinking downward The first trench 217, a plurality of second trenches 218 recessed downwardly from the carrying top surface 211, and a vent 219 extending through the top surface 211 and the bottom surface 214. Each of the first trenches 217 has a long shape, and each of the first trenches 217 extends outward from the center of the carrying top surface 211, and the inner ends of the three first trenches 217 communicate with each other. The second trenches 218 are concentrically arranged with each other and have different diameters, and the second trenches 218 are in communication with the first trenches 217. The top end of the air hole 219 is located at the center of the disk body 21 and communicates with the inner end of the first groove 217. The bottom end of the air hole 219 is for inserting a first air nozzle 51, and the first air nozzle 51 and a pumping mechanism (not shown) Connected. When the air suction mechanism is in operation, the first air nozzle 51 can pump the first trench 217 and the second trench 218 through the air hole 219, whereby the suction energy generated by the first trench 217 and the second trench 218 can be generated. The workpiece 1 to be processed is firmly adsorbed on the carrier top surface 211.

由於待加工工件1經過多道的半導體製程加工後,待加工工件1會呈略微翹曲而非完全平整的狀態,因此,為了避免第一吸氣流道216的第一溝槽217及第二溝槽218在抽氣的過程中,外部氣體會持續地經由待加工工件1的一底面11(如圖8所示)與承載頂面211之間的間隙流入,本實施例的承載裝置200透過彈性環4的設計來克服前述問題。在本實施例中,承載盤2的盤體21更包含一連接於承載頂面211與下表面212之間的外周面220,彈性環4是由例如為矽膠或橡膠等彈性材質所製成,彈性環4套接於外周面220上並包括一上端緣41,上端緣41高度高於承載頂面211高度,上端緣41用以抵接在待加工工件1的底面11且鄰近於待加工工件1的一外周緣12(如圖8所 示),彈性環4的上端緣41與待加工工件1的底面11之間是呈氣密接觸的狀態。 Since the workpiece 1 to be processed is processed by a plurality of semiconductor processes, the workpiece 1 to be processed may be slightly warped rather than completely flat. Therefore, in order to avoid the first trench 217 and the second of the first air intake path 216 During the pumping process, the external gas continuously flows through the gap between the bottom surface 11 of the workpiece 1 to be processed (as shown in FIG. 8) and the load bearing top surface 211. The carrier device 200 of the embodiment transmits The design of the elastic ring 4 overcomes the aforementioned problems. In this embodiment, the disk body 21 of the carrier tray 2 further includes an outer peripheral surface 220 connected between the bearing top surface 211 and the lower surface 212. The elastic ring 4 is made of an elastic material such as silicone rubber or rubber. The elastic ring 4 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface 220 and includes an upper end edge 41. The upper end edge 41 has a height higher than the height of the load bearing top surface 211. The upper end edge 41 is for abutting against the bottom surface 11 of the workpiece 1 to be processed and adjacent to the workpiece to be processed. An outer circumference 12 of 1 (as shown in Figure 8 It is shown that the upper end edge 41 of the elastic ring 4 is in airtight contact with the bottom surface 11 of the workpiece 1 to be processed.

當彈性環4的上端緣41抵接在待加工工件1的底面11時,彈性環4、待加工工件1以及承載盤2的盤體21之間共同界定一呈氣密狀態的腔室6(如圖9所示)。第一溝槽217及第二溝槽218在吸氣的過程中,由於位在彈性環4外部環境的空氣無法被吸入腔室6內,因此,第一溝槽217及第二溝槽218能對腔室6抽真空並以真空吸附方式吸附待加工工件1。由於真空吸附時所產生的強大吸力能完全地吸附待加工工件1使其平貼在平整的承載頂面211上,藉此,除了能穩固地將待加工工件1吸附並定位在承載頂面211之外,還能能有效地將翹曲之待加工工件1整平。 When the upper end edge 41 of the elastic ring 4 abuts against the bottom surface 11 of the workpiece 1 to be processed, the elastic ring 4, the workpiece 1 to be processed, and the disk body 21 of the carrier disk 2 jointly define a chamber 6 in an airtight state ( As shown in Figure 9). During the process of inhaling, the first groove 217 and the second groove 218 cannot be sucked into the chamber 6 due to the air located in the external environment of the elastic ring 4, so the first groove 217 and the second groove 218 can The chamber 6 is evacuated and the workpiece 1 to be processed is adsorbed by vacuum adsorption. Due to the strong suction generated during vacuum adsorption, the workpiece 1 to be processed can be completely adsorbed to be flat on the flat bearing top surface 211, whereby the workpiece 1 to be processed can be stably adsorbed and positioned on the bearing top surface 211. In addition, it is also possible to effectively flatten the warped workpiece 1 to be processed.

更具體地,盤體21的外周面220包括一與承載頂面211相連接的上立面部221、一與下表面212相連接的下立面部222,及一連接於上立面部221底端與下立面部222頂端之間的平面部223,其中,上立面部221凹陷形成一鄰***面部223的環形卡槽224。彈性環4包括一定位環部42,及一由定位環部42外緣朝上延伸並與上立面部221相間隔的彎折環部43,定位環部42內緣卡接於環形卡槽224內,使得定位環部42能抵靠並定位於平面部223上。彎折環部43具有一由定位環部42外緣朝上並朝上立面部221方向傾斜延伸的第一傾斜段431,及一由第一傾斜段431頂端朝上並朝遠離上立面部221方向傾斜延伸的第二 傾斜段432,第二傾斜段432具有用以抵接待加工工件1的底面11的上端緣41。 More specifically, the outer peripheral surface 220 of the disk body 21 includes an upper surface portion 221 connected to the carrier top surface 211, a lower surface portion 222 connected to the lower surface 212, and a upper surface portion 221 connected thereto. A flat portion 223 between the bottom end and the top end of the lower standing portion 222, wherein the upper standing portion 221 is recessed to form an annular card slot 224 adjacent to the flat portion 223. The elastic ring 4 includes a positioning ring portion 42 and a bending ring portion 43 extending upward from the outer edge of the positioning ring portion 42 and spaced apart from the upper surface portion 221. The inner edge of the positioning ring portion 42 is engaged with the annular card slot. Within 224, the positioning ring portion 42 is allowed to abut and be positioned on the planar portion 223. The bending ring portion 43 has a first inclined portion 431 extending obliquely upward from the outer edge of the positioning ring portion 42 and facing the upper façade 221, and a top end of the first inclined portion 431 facing upward and away from the upper façade The second portion of the portion 221 is obliquely extended The inclined section 432 has an upper end edge 41 for receiving the bottom surface 11 of the workpiece 1 .

承載盤2的盤體21更界定有一貫穿上立面部221與底面214的第二吸氣流道225,第二吸氣流道225形成於上立面部221的一端對應於彈性環4的彎折環部43,第二吸氣流道225底端則用以供一第二氣嘴52插置,第二氣嘴52與抽氣機構(圖未示)相連接。當抽氣機構運作時,第二氣嘴52能透過第二吸氣流道225對腔室6吸氣,藉此,能加速對腔室6抽真空的速度。此外,藉由彎折環部43的第一傾斜段431及第二傾斜段432的設計,使得第二吸氣流道225在吸氣抽真空的過程中,彎折環部43較容易朝向上立面部221方向凹陷變形。需說明的是,彈性環4的彎折環部43也可設計成朝向上立面部221方向凹陷的弧形狀,且前述弧形狀彎折環部43的開口朝向外側,彎折環部43的形狀不以本實施例所揭露的為限。 The disk body 21 of the carrier disk 2 further defines a second air intake channel 225 extending through the upper surface portion 221 and the bottom surface 214. The second air intake channel 225 is formed at one end of the upper surface portion 221 corresponding to the elastic ring 4. The second ring nozzle 52 is connected to a suction mechanism (not shown). When the pumping mechanism is in operation, the second air nozzle 52 can inhale the chamber 6 through the second air intake passage 225, whereby the speed at which the chamber 6 is evacuated can be accelerated. In addition, by the design of the first inclined section 431 and the second inclined section 432 of the bending ring portion 43, the second air suction passage 225 is relatively easy to face in the process of suction and vacuuming. The façade 221 is concavely deformed. It should be noted that the bending ring portion 43 of the elastic ring 4 may also be designed in an arc shape that is recessed toward the upper surface portion 221, and the opening of the arc-shaped bending ring portion 43 faces outward, and the bending portion is bent. The shape of 43 is not limited to the one disclosed in the embodiment.

參閱圖7、圖8及圖9,本實施例的待加工工件1是以經過多道半導體製程加工後而產生翹曲現象的晶圓為例作說明,其中,圖式所繪製的待加工工件1是以中間區域呈平整狀,而鄰近外周緣12的區域略往上翹曲為例。 Referring to FIG. 7 , FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 , the workpiece 1 to be processed in the embodiment is described by taking a wafer which is warped after being processed by a plurality of semiconductor processes as an example, wherein the workpiece to be processed is drawn by the drawing. 1 is an example in which the intermediate portion is flat, and the region adjacent to the outer peripheral edge 12 is slightly warped upward.

欲藉由承載裝置200承載待加工工件1以進行曝光作業時,首先,升降機構3的汽缸31會透過升降架32帶動各下頂桿332沿箭頭I方向往上移動,各下頂桿332會經由下開口251穿伸至容置孔部253內並將對應上銷桿331往上頂推,使上銷桿331移動至圖7所示的承接位置。 此時,各上銷桿331的桿體334一部分穿伸出上開口252及承載頂面211,桿體334的一頂端338間隔位於承載頂面211上方一段距離,且頂端338的高度高於彈性環4的上端緣41高度。各上銷桿331的底壁333會壓縮偏壓彈簧337使其壓縮變形並蓄積復位彈力。 When the workpiece 1 to be processed is carried by the carrying device 200 to perform the exposure operation, first, the cylinder 31 of the lifting mechanism 3 drives the lower ejector pins 332 to move upward in the direction of the arrow I through the lifting frame 32, and the lower ejector pins 332 will The lower pin 251 is inserted into the accommodating hole portion 253 and the corresponding pin 331 is pushed up, so that the upper pin 331 is moved to the receiving position shown in FIG. At this time, a portion of the rod body 334 of each of the upper pins 331 extends through the upper opening 252 and the bearing top surface 211. A top end 338 of the rod body 334 is spaced apart above the bearing top surface 211, and the height of the top end 338 is higher than the elasticity. The upper end edge 41 of the ring 4 is raised in height. The bottom wall 333 of each of the upper pins 331 compresses the biasing spring 337 to compressively deform and accumulate the return spring force.

接著,移載裝置(圖未示)會移載待加工工件1並將其置放於桿體334的頂端338,使待加工工件1的底面11抵接於頂端338。隨後,汽缸31會透過升降架32帶動各下頂桿332沿箭頭II方向往下移動,同時,各偏壓彈簧337所蓄積的復位彈力會驅使對應的上銷桿331沿箭頭II方向帶動待加工工件1下移。當待加工工件1的底面11抵接於承載盤2的承載頂面211時便無法繼續下移,此時,彈性環4的上端緣41會抵接在待加工工件1的底面11鄰近外周緣12處的位置,且彈性環4、待加工工件1以及承載盤2的盤體21之間共同界定出呈氣密狀態的腔室6。另一方面,各上銷桿331會繼續下移,使桿體334的頂端338與待加工工件1的底面11分離。當各上銷桿331的底端336迫緊接觸於下肩部254時,各上銷桿331即定位在圖9所示的氣密位置,此時,各上銷桿331的底端336封閉下開口251。 Next, the transfer device (not shown) transfers the workpiece 1 to be processed and places it on the top end 338 of the rod 334, so that the bottom surface 11 of the workpiece 1 to be processed abuts against the top end 338. Subsequently, the cylinder 31 drives the lower ejector pins 332 to move downward in the direction of the arrow II through the lifting frame 32. At the same time, the reset spring force accumulated by the biasing springs 337 drives the corresponding upper pin 331 to be driven in the direction of the arrow II. The workpiece 1 is moved down. When the bottom surface 11 of the workpiece 1 to be processed abuts against the bearing top surface 211 of the carrier 2, the lower end edge 41 of the elastic ring 4 abuts against the outer periphery of the bottom surface 11 of the workpiece 1 to be processed. At the position of 12, and the elastic ring 4, the workpiece 1 to be processed, and the disk 21 of the carrier 2 together define a chamber 6 in an airtight state. On the other hand, each of the upper pins 331 continues to move downward, separating the top end 338 of the rod 334 from the bottom surface 11 of the workpiece 1 to be processed. When the bottom end 336 of each upper pin 331 is in tight contact with the lower shoulder 254, the upper pin 331 is positioned in the airtight position shown in FIG. 9, at which time the bottom end 336 of each upper pin 331 is closed. Lower opening 251.

參閱圖4、圖9、圖10及圖11,當抽氣機構運作時,第一氣嘴51會透過氣孔219對第一溝槽217及第二溝槽218吸氣,使得待加工工件1中間區域被吸附在承載頂面211上。由於偏壓彈簧337的彈力作用,使得底壁333 的底端336迫緊接觸於下肩部254,以確保底壁333的底端336與下肩部254之間保持良好的氣密接觸狀態。此外,藉由各上銷桿331的周壁335接觸於對應穿孔25的內孔面部256的設計方式,使得各上銷桿331是呈封閉內孔面部256的狀態。第一溝槽217及第二溝槽218吸氣時所產生的吸力作用會將各穿孔25的容置孔部253內的氣體經由上開口252往上抽,藉由前述往上抽的吸力作用會使各上銷桿331的周壁335迫緊接觸於各穿孔25的內孔面部256,使周壁335與內孔面部256之間保持氣密接觸狀態。藉由前述底壁333的底端336與下肩部254之間的氣密接觸狀態,以及周壁335與內孔面部256之間的氣密接觸狀態,能有效地防止並阻斷外部氣體經由下開口251流入容置孔部253內。 Referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, when the air suction mechanism is operated, the first air nozzle 51 inhales the first groove 217 and the second groove 218 through the air hole 219, so that the workpiece 1 to be processed is in the middle. The area is adsorbed on the carrying top surface 211. The bottom wall 333 is caused by the elastic force of the biasing spring 337 The bottom end 336 is in tight contact with the lower shoulder 254 to ensure a good airtight contact between the bottom end 336 of the bottom wall 333 and the lower shoulder 254. Further, by the design of the peripheral wall 335 of each of the upper pins 331 contacting the inner hole surface portion 256 of the corresponding through hole 25, each of the upper pins 331 is in a state of closing the inner hole surface portion 256. The suction force generated when the first groove 217 and the second groove 218 are inhaled causes the gas in the accommodating hole portion 253 of each of the through holes 25 to be drawn upward through the upper opening 252, and the sucking force is applied by the upward pumping. The peripheral wall 335 of each of the upper pins 331 is brought into tight contact with the inner hole surface portion 256 of each of the through holes 25, and the peripheral wall 335 and the inner hole surface portion 256 are kept in an airtight contact state. By the airtight contact state between the bottom end 336 of the bottom wall 333 and the lower shoulder portion 254, and the airtight contact state between the peripheral wall 335 and the inner hole surface portion 256, the external gas can be effectively prevented and blocked. The opening 251 flows into the accommodating hole portion 253.

另一方面,第二氣嘴52則會透過第二吸氣流道225對腔室6吸氣,由於各上銷桿331能防止並阻斷外部氣體經由下開口251流入容置孔部253內,因此,第一溝槽217、第二溝槽218及第二吸氣流道225能確實地將腔室6抽真空。當腔室6呈真空狀態後,真空吸附時所產生的強大吸力能完全地吸附待加工工件1,待加工工件1鄰近外周緣12的區域會略微往下彎曲變形,使得待加工工件1能平貼在平整的承載頂面211上。藉此,除了能穩固且確實地將待加工工件1吸附並定位在承載頂面211之外,還能有效地將翹曲之待加工工件1整平,使待加工工件1呈平整狀態。同時,真空吸附時所產生的強大吸力會使彎折環部43朝上立面部221方向凹陷,使得第一傾斜段431相對於 定位環部42彎折變形,而第二傾斜段432則相對於第一傾斜段431彎折變形,藉此,使得彎折環部43的上端緣41能隨著待加工工件1鄰近外周緣12區域往下彎曲變形而降低高度。當承載裝置200吸附待加工工件1並將其整平後,承載裝置200便能帶動待加工工件1朝光罩方向移動,使待加工工件1能準確地與光罩進行對位的動作,以進行後續的曝光作業。 On the other hand, the second air nozzle 52 inhales the chamber 6 through the second air suction passage 225, and the upper pin 331 can prevent and block the external air from flowing into the accommodating hole portion 253 via the lower opening 251. Therefore, the first groove 217, the second groove 218, and the second suction passage 225 can surely evacuate the chamber 6. When the chamber 6 is in a vacuum state, the strong suction force generated by vacuum adsorption can completely adsorb the workpiece 1 to be processed, and the area of the workpiece 1 to be processed adjacent to the outer circumference 12 is slightly bent and deformed, so that the workpiece 1 to be processed can be flattened. It is attached to the flat carrying top surface 211. Thereby, in addition to stably and surely adsorbing and positioning the workpiece 1 to be processed on the bearing top surface 211, the warped workpiece 1 to be processed can be effectively leveled, and the workpiece 1 to be processed is flat. At the same time, the strong suction force generated during vacuum adsorption causes the bending ring portion 43 to be recessed toward the upper standing portion 221, so that the first inclined portion 431 is opposed to The positioning ring portion 42 is bent and deformed, and the second inclined portion 432 is bent and deformed with respect to the first inclined portion 431, whereby the upper end edge 41 of the bending ring portion 43 can be adjacent to the outer peripheral edge 12 of the workpiece 1 to be processed. The area is bent downward to reduce the height. After the carrying device 200 adsorbs the workpiece 1 to be processed and leveled, the carrying device 200 can move the workpiece 1 to be processed toward the reticle, so that the workpiece 1 to be processed can accurately align with the reticle, Perform subsequent exposure jobs.

綜上所述,本實施例的承載裝置200,藉由升降機構3的各銷桿組件33及彈性環4的設計,使得承載盤2的第一吸氣流道216及第二吸氣流道225能對腔室6抽真空,藉此,待加工工件1便能穩固且確實地定位在承載盤2的承載頂面211。再者,藉由真空吸附時所產生的強大吸力能完全地吸附待加工工件1使其平貼在平整的承載頂面211上,藉此,能有效地將翹曲之待加工工件1整平,故確實能達成本發明之目的。 In summary, the carrier device 200 of the embodiment has the design of each pin assembly 33 and the elastic ring 4 of the lifting mechanism 3, so that the first air suction channel 216 and the second air suction channel of the carrier 2 are The chamber 225 can evacuate the chamber 6, whereby the workpiece 1 to be processed can be stably and surely positioned on the load bearing top surface 211 of the carrier tray 2. Moreover, the workpiece 1 to be processed can be completely adsorbed by the strong suction force generated by vacuum adsorption to be flatly attached to the flat bearing top surface 211, thereby effectively flattening the warped workpiece 1 to be processed. Therefore, the object of the present invention can be achieved.
