It can move in both directions of the x-axis and the z-axis, and the cassette part 170 can move in the direction of the x-axis.

在下文中,將依序描述彈射器圓頂罩140之更換過程的示例。不言而喻,以下替換過程僅是示例,並且也可以應用其他各種替換過程。 Hereinafter, an example of the replacement process of the ejector dome 140 will be sequentially described. It goes without saying that the following replacement procedures are only examples, and other various replacement procedures can also be applied.

首先,當將半導體晶圓W傳送到晶圓承載平台裝置100以進行彈射程序時,有關半導體晶圓W的類型數據即被傳送到控制單元190。 First, when the semiconductor wafer W is transferred to the wafer stage apparatus 100 for the ejection process, the type data about the semiconductor wafer W is transferred to the control unit 190 .

控制單元190根據傳送到晶圓承載平台裝置 100的半導體晶圓W的類型,確定當前安裝在彈射器本體部150上的彈射器圓頂140_2是否適合於彈出處理,如果確定半導體晶圓W被放置在晶片支撐單元120上,則驅動當前安裝的彈射器圓頂罩140以執行排出處理。 The control unit 190 transmits to the wafer carrier platform device according to the The type of the semiconductor wafer W of the 100, it is determined whether the ejector dome 140_2 currently mounted on the ejector body portion 150 is suitable for the ejection process, if it is determined that the semiconductor wafer W is placed on the wafer support unit 120, the current mounting is driven The ejector dome 140 to perform the ejection process.

如果控制器190確定當前安裝在彈射器本體部150上的彈射器圓頂140_2不適合彈射過程,則安裝在卡匣部170上的彈射器圓頂罩140_1。如果確定需要更換140_3和140_4中的彈射器圓頂罩140_3,則執行以下作業。 If the controller 190 determines that the ejector dome 140_2 currently installed on the ejector body part 150 is not suitable for the ejection process, the ejector dome 140_1 installed on the cassette part 170 is installed. If it is determined that the catapult dome 140_3 in 140_3 and 140_4 needs to be replaced, perform the following operations.

控制單元190首先驅動卡匣驅動單元180以移動卡匣部170,從而在卡匣單元171_1、171_2、171_3和171_4中更換空的卡匣單元171_2。另外,控制單元190驅動彈射器本體驅動部160以使彈射器本體部150沿①的箭頭方向(z軸的負方向)和②的箭頭方向(如第10圖所示)順序地移動。在負y軸方向和箭頭方向③(z軸正方向)上移動,然後將安裝在彈射器本體部150上的彈射器圓頂140_2移動到卡匣單元171_2而嵌合之。 The control unit 190 first drives the cassette driving unit 180 to move the cassette part 170 to replace the empty cassette unit 171_2 among the cassette units 171_1 , 171_2 , 171_3 and 171_4 . In addition, the control unit 190 drives the ejector body driving part 160 to sequentially move the ejector body part 150 in the arrow direction of ① (negative direction of the z-axis) and the arrow direction of ② (as shown in FIG. 10 ). After moving in the negative y-axis direction and the arrow direction ③ (positive z-axis direction), the ejector dome 140_2 attached to the ejector body 150 is moved to the cassette unit 171_2 and fitted.

然後,控制單元190控制彈射器本體部150的主體夾持器152,以使彈射器圓頂單元140_2與彈射器本體部150分離,從而可以移動彈射器本體部150。如第11圖所示,藉由驅動彈射器本體驅動部160之動作,彈射器本體部150乃下降。 Then, the control unit 190 controls the main body holder 152 of the ejector body part 150 to separate the ejector dome unit 140_2 from the ejector body part 150 so that the ejector body part 150 can be moved. As shown in FIG. 11, by driving the ejector main body driving part 160, the ejector main body part 150 is lowered.

然後,控制單元190驅動卡匣驅動單元180以移 動卡匣部170,從而將卡匣單元171_1、171_2、171_3和171_4中的卡匣單元171_3移動到替換位置。為了移動,將要更換的彈射器圓頂罩140_3乃裝設在卡匣單元171_3上。 Then, the control unit 190 drives the cassette driving unit 180 to move The cassette part 170 is moved, thereby moving the cassette unit 171_3 of the cassette units 171_1, 171_2, 171_3 and 171_4 to the replacement position. For movement, the ejector dome 140_3 to be replaced is mounted on the cassette unit 171_3.

然後,如第12圖所示,控制單元190驅動彈射器本體驅動部160以使彈射器本體部150升高,使得彈射部器本體部150的上表面和彈射器圓頂單元140_3之安裝凸緣140a接觸。隨後,通過控制彈射器本體部150的主體夾具152,將彈射器圓頂罩140_3安裝在彈射器本體部150上。在這樣的安裝過程中,彈射器圓頂罩140_3的定位孔142和彈射器本體部150的定位突起151使得能夠精確且容易地安裝。 Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 190 drives the ejector body driving part 160 to raise the ejector body part 150 so that the upper surface of the ejector body part 150 and the mounting flange of the ejector dome unit 140_3 140a contacts. Subsequently, the ejector dome 140_3 is mounted on the ejector body portion 150 by controlling the main body clamp 152 of the ejector body portion 150 . In such an installation process, the positioning holes 142 of the ejector dome 140_3 and the positioning protrusions 151 of the ejector body portion 150 enable precise and easy installation.

然後,如第13圖所示,控制單元190使彈射器本體部150沿y軸方向移動以使其與卡匣部170分離,然後沿z軸方向使其升高,從而使彈射器圓頂罩140_3通過將機台放置在足以進行彈出過程的高度來完成更換過程。在排出過程中,將半導體晶圓W放置在晶圓支撐部120上,並且驅動替換的彈射器圓頂罩140_3以執行彈射程序。 Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the control unit 190 moves the ejector body portion 150 in the y-axis direction to separate it from the cassette portion 170, and then raises it in the z-axis direction, thereby causing the ejector dome The 140_3 completes the replacement process by placing the table high enough for the ejection process. During the ejection process, the semiconductor wafer W is placed on the wafer support 120, and the replacement ejector dome 140_3 is driven to perform the ejection procedure.

如上所述,根據本實施例的晶圓承載平台裝置100,卡匣部170安裝在機台主體110的一側,並且卡匣部170的卡匣單元171是彈射器圓頂罩。其具有支撐的結構(140)。在那種情況下,與晶圓承載平台裝置分開裝設以運送彈射器圓頂罩之機械手臂結構的傳統技術相比,可以 減小整體安裝空間。然後,可以實現設備的小型化和裝設空間的優化。 As described above, according to the wafer stage apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the cassette part 170 is installed on one side of the table main body 110 , and the cassette unit 171 of the cassette part 170 is an ejector dome. It has a supporting structure (140). In that case, compared to the conventional technology of the robot arm structure in which the wafer carrier platform device is installed separately to transport the ejector dome, it is possible to Reduce the overall installation space. Then, miniaturization of equipment and optimization of installation space can be achieved.

另外,根據本實施例的晶圓承載平台裝置100,為了更換彈射器圓頂罩140,彈射器本體部150可以在y軸和z軸這兩個方向上移動,並且,由於卡匣部170僅需要在x軸方向上移動,因此可以最小化更換彈射器圓頂罩140所需的驅動部件和傳送機構,從而降低了製造成本和維護成本。另外,由於可以使移動路徑最小化,所以可以使更換彈射器圓頂罩140所需的工作空間最小化。 In addition, according to the wafer stage apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, in order to replace the ejector dome 140, the ejector body portion 150 can be moved in both directions of the y-axis and the z-axis, and since the cassette portion 170 only Movement in the x-axis direction is required, so the drive components and transfer mechanisms required to replace the catapult dome 140 can be minimized, thereby reducing manufacturing and maintenance costs. In addition, since the movement path can be minimized, the work space required to replace the catapult dome 140 can be minimized.
