为了进一步说明本申请实施例的实施方式及有益效果,以下结合附图1至7B所示,对本申请的一具体实施方式说明如下。In order to further illustrate the implementation and beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application, a specific implementation of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings 1 to 7B.
当校准机构3呈空闲状态时,凸轮21旋转至第一预设角度位置,具体参照如图3A所示的位置,凸轮21的凸部211与滚轮部件314相顶抵,此时弹性部件313处于拉伸状态,拉伸量可根据弹性件3132的弹性作用力决定,弹性件3132的弹性作用力可以设置为不小于5N。机械手可以向校准机构3上传输晶圆切割工件100,晶圆切割工件100预先放置于多个顶针组件4上,具体如图4A及图4B所示。顶针组件4的顶针43下降,以带动晶圆切割工件100同时落在多个承载部件315上,此时顶针43的顶端与支撑部3151的支撑面具有第三间距L3,避免顶针43与晶圆切割工件100发生撞击摩擦,第三间距L3可以设置为3毫米,具体参照如图4C及图4D所示。When the calibration mechanism 3 is in the idle state, the cam 21 rotates to the first preset angular position, specifically referring to the position shown in FIG. 3A , the convex portion 211 of the cam 21 abuts the roller component 314, and the elastic component 313 is at this time. In the stretched state, the amount of stretching can be determined according to the elastic force of the elastic member 3132, and the elastic force of the elastic member 3132 can be set to not less than 5N. The robot can transport the wafer cutting workpiece 100 to the calibration mechanism 3, and the wafer cutting workpiece 100 is pre-placed on a plurality of ejector pin assemblies 4, as shown in Figure 4A and Figure 4B. The ejector pin 43 of the ejector pin assembly 4 descends to drive the wafer cutting workpiece 100 to land on multiple load-bearing components 315 at the same time. At this time, there is a third distance L3 between the top of the ejector pin 43 and the support surface of the support part 3151 to prevent the ejector pin 43 from contacting the wafer. When impact friction occurs on the cutting workpiece 100, the third distance L3 can be set to 3 mm, as shown in Figure 4C and Figure 4D.
进一步的,驱动器22带动凸轮21旋转至第一预设角度位置后,继续带 动凸轮21逆时针旋转,弹性件3132的弹性作用力能使承载部件315向凸轮21的中心移动,由于四个承载部件315的移动距离相同,使得晶圆切割工件100的中心逐渐向凸轮21中心靠拢,并且滚轮部件314始终紧贴凸轮21外周面,使得晶圆切割工件100的移动较为平稳,具体参照如图5所示。当凸轮21旋转至一角度(小于45°),到达第二预设角度之前,由于弹性件3132拉伸量逐渐减小,使得弹性件3132的弹性作用力逐渐减小,直至四个承载部件315全部夹住晶圆切割工件100,并且使晶圆切割工件100中心与凸轮21中心重合,此时弹性件3132的弹性作用力减到最小,但是弹性件3132应仍处于拉伸状态,并且弹性作用力不小于3N,以确保晶圆切割工件100与凸轮21同心状态。进一步的,驱动器22继续带动凸轮21旋转至45°,到达第二预设角度位置时,滚轮部件314已经完全脱离凸轮21的凸部211,并且位于凸轮21的凹部212内,由于弹性件3132仍处于拉伸状态,使得每个承载部件315对晶圆切割工件100均有大小相同、方向指向凸轮21中心的弹性作用力,以保证晶圆切割工件100中心与凸轮21中心完全重合,至此完成晶圆切割工件100的工位校准。Further, after the driver 22 drives the cam 21 to rotate to the first preset angle position, the driver 22 continues to drive the cam 21 to rotate to the first preset angle position. When the moving cam 21 rotates counterclockwise, the elastic force of the elastic member 3132 can move the bearing member 315 toward the center of the cam 21. Since the four bearing members 315 move at the same distance, the center of the wafer cutting workpiece 100 gradually moves toward the center of the cam 21. Close together, and the roller component 314 is always close to the outer peripheral surface of the cam 21, so that the movement of the wafer cutting workpiece 100 is relatively stable, as shown in Figure 5 for details. When the cam 21 rotates to an angle (less than 45°), before reaching the second preset angle, the stretching amount of the elastic member 3132 gradually decreases, so that the elastic force of the elastic member 3132 gradually decreases until the four bearing parts 315 Clamp the wafer cutting workpiece 100 completely, and make the center of the wafer cutting workpiece 100 coincide with the center of the cam 21. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic member 3132 is minimized, but the elastic member 3132 should still be in a stretched state, and the elastic force The force is not less than 3N to ensure that the wafer cutting workpiece 100 and the cam 21 are concentric. Further, the driver 22 continues to drive the cam 21 to rotate to 45°. When it reaches the second preset angle position, the roller component 314 has completely separated from the convex portion 211 of the cam 21 and is located in the concave portion 212 of the cam 21. Since the elastic member 3132 is still is in a tensile state, so that each load-bearing component 315 has an elastic force of the same size and direction pointing to the center of the cam 21 on the wafer cutting workpiece 100, so as to ensure that the center of the wafer cutting workpiece 100 and the center of the cam 21 are completely coincident. At this point, the wafer cutting workpiece 100 is completed. Station calibration of circular cutting workpiece 100.
最后,驱动器22带动凸轮21自上述第二预设角度位置继续旋转,直至到达新的第一预设角度位置,四个承载部件315同时远离凸轮21运动,以使承载部件315的卡合部3152与晶圆切割工件100的直边之间具有预设距离L,该预设距离L可以设置为大于等于0,并且小于等于0.5毫米,具体可以参照如图6B及图6C所示。此时,三个顶针组件4同时带动晶圆切割工件100上升,以供机械手将校准后的晶圆切割工件100传输至工艺腔室的静电卡盘上。由此可见,本申请实施例通过较为简单的结构实现了对晶圆切割工件100的校准及传输,从而避免晶圆切割工件100与静电卡盘位置发生偏移,进而提高产品良率。Finally, the driver 22 drives the cam 21 to continue to rotate from the above-mentioned second preset angular position until it reaches a new first preset angular position, and the four carrying parts 315 move away from the cam 21 at the same time, so that the engaging portion 3152 of the carrying part 315 There is a preset distance L from the straight edge of the wafer cutting workpiece 100. The preset distance L can be set to be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 0.5 mm. For details, refer to FIG. 6B and FIG. 6C. At this time, the three ejection pin assemblies 4 simultaneously drive the wafer cutting workpiece 100 to rise, so that the robot can transfer the calibrated wafer cutting workpiece 100 to the electrostatic chuck of the process chamber. It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application realizes the calibration and transmission of the wafer cutting workpiece 100 through a relatively simple structure, thereby avoiding the position deviation of the wafer cutting workpiece 100 and the electrostatic chuck, thereby improving the product yield.
