在現有的半導體加工過程中,需要將晶圓進行多次抓取及輸送,且在一些特殊工藝中會用到兩種拋光液,為了避免拋光液直接的相互作用,以及對晶圓的污染,兩種拋光液相互之間不能接觸,但是晶圓抓取機構在傳輸晶圓過程中不可避免會接觸到晶圓上的拋光液,容易存在兩種以上拋光液殘留的問題,為解決上述問題,目前一般採用兩套夾取機構來抓取晶圓,但採用兩套夾取機構來存在成本高,佔據空間大等缺點。In the existing semiconductor processing process, the wafer needs to be grabbed and transported multiple times, and two polishing fluids are used in some special processes. In order to avoid direct interaction between the polishing fluids and contamination of the wafer, The two polishing fluids cannot come into contact with each other, but the wafer grabbing mechanism will inevitably come into contact with the polishing fluid on the wafer during the transfer of the wafer. It is easy to have the problem of residues of more than two polishing fluids. In order to solve the above problem, Currently, two sets of clamping mechanisms are generally used to grab wafers. However, using two sets of clamping mechanisms has the disadvantages of high cost and large space occupation.
況且,目前對於不同尺寸的晶圓,需採用不同的夾取機構,需根據晶圓的大小設置特定的夾取機構,不可一種夾取機構多用,成本較高。Moreover, currently, different clamping mechanisms need to be used for wafers of different sizes, and specific clamping mechanisms need to be set according to the size of the wafer. It is not possible to use one clamping mechanism for multiple purposes, and the cost is high.
為了克服現有技術的不足,本發明提供一種可以滿足多拋光液工藝的需求,使用成本降低,適應性高,佔據空間小的多工位夾取裝置。In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-station clamping device that can meet the needs of multiple polishing liquid processes, has reduced operating costs, has high adaptability and occupies a small space.

進一步的,所述導向面為傾斜面,該傾斜面與第二傾斜面配合形成所述卡槽的相對兩個側壁,當旋轉軸帶動所述基座轉動靠近晶圓時,晶圓抵著傾斜面滑入卡槽內。傾斜面可以起到導向作用,使得晶圓定向滑入卡槽內,且儘量保持水平,卡槽對晶圓的夾持更加穩固,而且可以適配不同厚度的晶圓。Further, the guide surface is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface cooperates with the second inclined surface to form two opposite side walls of the slot. When the rotating shaft drives the base to rotate close to the wafer, the wafer is tilted against the inclined surface. Slide it into the card slot. The inclined surface can play a guiding role, allowing the wafer to slide into the slot in a direction that is as horizontal as possible. The slot holds the wafer more firmly and can adapt to wafers of different thicknesses.

The slot is formed between the lower surface of the convex portion and the supporting plane. When the rotating shaft drives the base, When the holder rotates, the wafer slides into the slot on the supporting plane and against the inclined surface.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
實施例一
一種多工位夾取裝置,包括至少兩個卡爪單元1,卡爪單元1包括用於承托晶圓2的至少兩個基座3,及可以帶動所有的基座3轉動的旋轉軸4。當旋轉軸4周向轉動時,兩個或多個基座3可以交替處於工作位,此處的工作位指的是有晶圓2放置的工作狀態。A multi-station clamping device includes at least two
每個基座3上分別設置有導向面31及卡槽32,當旋轉軸4周向轉動時,晶圓2可以沿著基座3,此處指的是處於工作位的基座3的導向面31滑行,直到晶圓2落在卡槽32內,成對的兩個卡爪單元1的卡槽32配合將晶圓2穩固夾持。Each
如圖1-9所示,在本實施例中,導向面31為傾斜面311,以圖2所示方向為例,該傾斜面311自上而下、自內向外傾斜延伸,基座3上還形成有第二傾斜面33,該第二傾斜面33自下而上、自內向外傾斜延伸,上述的傾斜面311和第二傾斜面33上下相對、配合形成卡槽32的相對兩個側壁,換句話說,卡槽32的寬度各處不等。As shown in Figures 1-9, in this embodiment, the
工作時,先將晶圓2放置在傾斜面311上,如圖2所示,此時晶圓2下表面的外邊緣架設在傾斜面311,兩個卡爪單元1成對出現將晶圓2支撐住,當然,在本實施例中,卡爪單元1的數量為三個,其沿著晶圓2的周向間隔佈設,對晶圓2的支撐更加平穩。接著,旋轉軸4旋轉帶動基座3轉動靠近晶圓2時,即晶圓2的圓心和基座3的軸心之間的距離發生變化,晶圓2抵著傾斜面311滑入卡槽32內,也就是晶圓2發生了軸向向上的位移,直至其滑入卡槽32內,晶圓2的上邊緣與第二傾斜面33以點接觸的方式相抵接,晶圓2的下邊緣與傾斜面311以點接觸的方式相抵接。當然在其他實施例中,晶圓2的上邊緣與第二傾斜面33也可以以線接觸的方式相抵接,晶圓2的下邊緣與傾斜面311也可以以線接觸的方式相抵接。When working, first place the
在承接晶圓2的工作位時,基座3不在旋轉軸4與晶圓2圓心的連線上,旋轉時,基座3向旋轉軸4與晶圓2圓心的連線方向移動,從而將晶圓2卡入卡槽32內。晶圓2被傾斜面311和第二傾斜面33穩固夾持,從而即使晶圓2不處於水平位置,而是發生旋轉和移動時,均被穩固夾持,不會從卡槽32內脫落。而且晶圓2的上邊緣和下邊緣分別與第二傾斜面33和傾斜面311相抵,接觸面積小,與晶圓2的表面完全沒有接觸,對晶圓2起到了良好的保護作用,最大限度保證晶圓2本身的性能,而且可以適配不同厚度的晶圓2。When receiving the working position of
為了方便晶圓2放置在傾斜面311上,基座3上、位於卡槽32的軸向上方還設有第三傾斜面34,其自上而下、自內向外傾斜延伸,且斜率大於傾斜面311的斜面,從而晶圓2可以順著或者說順著第三傾斜面34滑落在傾斜面311上,第三傾斜面34起到一個良好的導向作用。In order to facilitate placing the
每個卡爪單元1上至少設有兩個基座3,旋轉軸4上設有支架41,該支架41以旋轉軸4的軸心為中心向外延伸形成一個延伸臂411,每個延伸臂411上均設置有基座3。Each
如圖5所示,延伸臂411的數量為一個,兩個基座3均位於延伸臂411的外端,且兩個基座3同軸設置,相鄰基座3之間形成缺口部36,該缺口部36用於防止拋光液體在兩個基座3之間流通。As shown in Figure 5, the number of the
上述結構下,兩個基座3之間需要轉換時,旋轉軸4轉動帶動兩個基座3均遠離晶圓2,取下晶圓2後,兩個基座3自身先發生周向轉動,使得之前處於工作位、夾持住晶圓2的基座3轉動朝向外側,另一個基座3轉動朝向內側。從而晶圓2使用不同的拋光液進行處理時,可以分別利用兩個基座3對其進行夾持,不會發生殘留拋光液影響另一道工藝的情形。Under the above structure, when the two
當然,如圖6所示,延伸臂411的數量也可以是兩個,兩個基座3相互獨立,且對稱分佈在延伸臂411的外端。Of course, as shown in FIG. 6 , the number of
上述結構下,兩個基座3之間需要轉換時,旋轉軸4轉動即可。以圖4所示為例進行說明,需要替換另一個基座3處於工作位時,旋轉軸4沿箭頭方向逆時針旋轉即可。Under the above structure, when it is necessary to switch between the two
當然,如圖7、8所示,延伸臂411的數量還可以是三個、四個等任意數量,每個延伸臂411的外端均設置有基座3。Of course, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 , the number of
為了適應不同的晶圓2,也可以對應不同的拋光液,基座3和延伸臂411之間可拆卸連接,便於靈活變換。延伸臂411的長度也可以根據不同的晶圓2尺寸需求進行設置。In order to adapt to
實施例二
如圖10-18所示,在本實施例中,基座3上還設有凸部35,導向面31包括承托平面312及斜面一313,承托平面312為水平面,斜面一313自下而上、自外向內傾斜,晶圓2放置在承托平面312上,凸部35的下表面和承托平面312之間形成卡槽32。As shown in Figures 10-18, in this embodiment, the
當旋轉軸4帶動基座3轉動時,晶圓2在承托平面312上、抵著斜面一313滑入卡槽32內。如圖18所示,該卡槽32的軸向高度大於晶圓2的軸向厚度,即S1>S2,且卡槽32的底壁和側壁相垂直,因此晶圓2的側壁可以與卡槽32的底壁接觸相抵,保證晶圓2被穩固夾持,且不會損壞晶圓2的上表面,保證其性能的穩定。When the
當然,在其他實施例中,如圖19所示,卡槽32的底壁321也可以是斜面,其自上而下、自內向外傾斜,從而晶圓2的上邊緣與卡槽32的底壁321接觸,保證晶圓2被穩固夾持,且不會損壞晶圓2的上表面,保證其性能的穩定。即使晶圓2不處於水平位置,而是發生旋轉和移動時,均能被穩固夾持,不會從卡槽32內脫落。Of course, in other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 19 , the
為了便於晶圓2順利滑入卡槽32內,導向面31還包括設置在凸部35側面的斜面二351,如圖14所示,斜面二351自上而下、朝著著晶圓2移動的方向傾斜。從而當晶圓2置於基座3後,其可以抵著斜面一313和斜面二351進入卡槽32,即使晶圓2發生一定的傾斜,斜面二351也可以將其下壓進入卡槽32內。In order to facilitate the smooth sliding of the
如圖14所示,一個卡爪單元1上基座3的數量為兩個,且同軸設置在旋轉軸4的頂端面上,相鄰基座3之間也形成缺口部36。當其中一個基座3處於工作位完成工作後,旋轉180度即可將另一個基座3轉動至工作位,繼續工作。As shown in FIG. 14 , the number of

The wafer transfer table is connected to the polishing unit and the cleaning unit, and the wafer to be polished enters the polishing unit and the polishing unit. The completed wafers must pass through the transfer stage before entering the cleaning unit. The multi-station clamping device can be used on the transfer stage to fix the wafers and facilitate the transfer of the wafers into the cleaning unit.
上述具體實施方式用來解釋說明本發明,而不是對本發明進行限制,在本發明的精神和申請專利的保護範圍內,對本發明作出的任何修改和改變,都落入本發明的保護範圍。The above-mentioned specific embodiments are used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. Within the spirit of the present invention and the protection scope of the patent application, any modifications and changes made to the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
