Detailed Description
The technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
At present, a schematic top view of the structure of a double-side polishing apparatus 1 is shown in fig. 1, and includes: a fixed plate 11 and a plurality of loading plates 12 filled with oblique lines; the fixed plate 11 is a ring, and includes an inner pin ring 111 and an outer pin ring 112, each of the carrier plates 12 carries a plurality of silicon wafers 2, and in the embodiment of the present invention, each of the carrier plates 12 shown in fig. 1 carries 3 silicon wafers 2 as an example. The carrier plate 12 rotates on its own axis in the range between the inner pin ring 111 and the outer pin ring 112 and also revolves around the center of the fixed plate 11. The above-described double-side polishing apparatus 1 not only needs to manage the life of the carrier tray for periodic replacement during polishing. In addition, when the double-side polishing device 1 is stopped and fed after finishing processing, the position of the silicon wafer is mistaken due to the position deviation of the bearing plate during the stop occasionally. In view of the above explanation, the embodiment of the present invention is expected to provide a material management scheme applied to a double-side polishing apparatus, which can manage the lifetime of a carrier plate, monitor the position of the carrier plate, and avoid the phenomenon of silicon wafer position error caused by the position deviation of the carrier plate during shutdown.
Based on this, referring to fig. 2, a material management system 20 applied to a double-sided polishing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the system 20 includes: the double-side polishing device comprises infrared tag readers 21, a controller 22 and infrared detectable tags 23, wherein the infrared tag readers 21 and the controller 22 are arranged on the periphery of a fixed disc 11 of the double-side polishing device 1 at equal intervals; wherein the content of the first and second substances,
the infrared tag reader 21 is configured to detect whether a target tag exists in a detection range when the double-sided polishing device 1 stops feeding, and transmit a detection result to the controller 22;
the controller is configured to send a reset instruction to the double-sided polishing device 1 corresponding to the detection result representing that the target label is not detected; wherein the reset instruction is used for instructing the double-side polishing apparatus 1 to initialize the position of the carrier tray 12 so as to restore the carrier tray 12 to the correct position.
In particular, in practice, the label 23 may comprise a laser label, a bar code label or a two-dimensional code label. These types of tags are all capable of being detected by the infrared tag reader 21 when they are within the detection range of the infrared tag reader 21 as shown by the dashed lines in fig. 2; in addition, since the infrared tag reader 21 is disposed in a fixed position, that is, its detection range is also fixed accordingly, when the tag 23 is present in the detection range, the position of the carrier tray 12 on which the tag 23 is disposed can be determined accordingly. When the double-sided polishing device 1 is stopped and discharged, if the infrared tag reader 21 does not detect any tag in the detection range of the double-sided polishing device, or does not detect a target tag arranged on a target bearing disc, it indicates that the target bearing disc is not located at the theoretical position of the target bearing disc when the double-sided polishing device is stopped and discharged, and the position of the target bearing disc is abnormal. Therefore, when the controller 22 receives the detection result representing the above, it can determine that the position of the target carrier tray has a deviation, so that the controller 22 can send a reset instruction to the double-side polishing apparatus 1, so that the double-side polishing apparatus 1 can initialize the position of the carrier tray 12 again, thereby avoiding the occurrence of mixed material abnormality.
For the system 20 shown in fig. 2, the label 23 may specifically include a laser label, a barcode label, or a two-dimensional code label. Taking a laser label as an example, specifically, when the double-sided polishing device 1 is set to stop feeding, the bearing disc 12 should theoretically stay at a fixed position, based on which, the detection range of the infrared label reader 21 can be set in a fixed direction corresponding to the fixed position, when the double-sided polishing device 1 stops feeding, the label of the target bearing disc can be detected by the infrared label reader 21, which indicates that the target bearing disc is at the fixed position, and the position of the target bearing disc has no deviation; if the tag of the target carrier tray is not detected by the infrared tag reader 21, for example, the infrared tag reader 21 does not detect any tag or the infrared tag reader 21 detects tags of other carrier trays except the target carrier tray, it can be shown that the target carrier tray is not located at the fixed position, and the position of the target carrier tray is deviated, so that the position of the silicon wafer is wrong, at this time, the controller 22 can send an instruction to the double-side polishing apparatus 1 to initialize the position of the carrier tray 12, so that the carrier tray 12 is restored to the correct position, and the situation that the material of the silicon wafer 2 is disordered due to the position deviation of the carrier tray 12 is avoided. In detail, the controller 22 may be a control unit in the double-side polishing apparatus 1, or may be an external factory system connected to the double-side polishing apparatus 1, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
With the system shown in fig. 2, since the fixed platen 11 is usually provided with a plurality of carrier platens 12, and there is a fixed order between the carrier platens 12, in order to detect and manage the order of the carrier platens 12, in some examples, a plurality of carrier platens 12 provided with tags 23 are provided in a set order in correspondence with the double-side polishing apparatus 1, and the infrared tag reader 21 is further configured to obtain the detected tag order based on the detection in the detection range; and sequentially transmitting the detected tags to the controller;
the controller is further configured to determine whether the detected tag order is correct in the set order. In the above example, preferably, the labels 23 of the plurality of carrier trays 12 are all disposed at the same position in the respective carrier tray 12.
Specifically, the number of the carrier trays 12 placed in the fixed tray 11 is set to 5 as shown in fig. 2, and the carrier trays are marked as a, b, c, d, and e; the placement order is also a, b, c, d, e. As the polishing process proceeds, the infrared tag reader 21 may sequentially detect the tags on each carrier tray 12 within its detection range, thereby obtaining a detected tag sequence. The controller 22 may compare the detected tag sequence with the placement sequence during placement, and if the detected tag sequence is consistent with the placement sequence, the current sequence is correct; otherwise, it may be determined that the current order is abnormal. Meanwhile, when the infrared tag reader 21 cannot identify the carrier tray 12, it indicates whether the relative positions of the plurality of silicon wafers 2 carried by the carrier tray 12 and the fixed tray 11 are changed, and determines whether the current sequence is abnormal. When the controller 22 determines that the current order is abnormal, the controller 22 may initialize the positions of all the carrier trays 12 by sending a command to the double-side polishing apparatus 1, similarly to the foregoing example, so that the order of all the carrier trays 12 is restored to the correct order.
For the system 20 shown in fig. 2, the label 23 may specifically comprise a laser label, a bar code label, or a two-dimensional code label. Therefore, the label 23 may also store therein an identification of the carrier tray 12 on which the label is set, and in some examples, the infrared label reader 21 is further configured to read the identification of the carrier tray 12 stored in the label 23 by detecting the label 23 when the carrier tray 12 is placed on the lower surface plate 11 of the double-side polishing apparatus 1; and, transmitting the identity of the carrier platter 12 to the controller 22;
the controller 22 is further configured to record the working life of the carrier tray 12 corresponding to the identification of the carrier tray 12 based on the processing times of the double-side polishing device 1; and when the working life of the bearing disc 12 corresponding to the bearing disc 12 identifier meets the set working life, sending a reminding instruction for indicating to replace the bearing disc 12 corresponding to the bearing disc 12 identifier.
Specifically, since the carrier trays 12 are consumables in the double-side polishing process and need to be replaced periodically, the working life of each carrier tray 12 needs to be managed so that the carrier tray can be replaced in time. When the carrier tray 12 is placed on the lower fixed tray 11, the carrier tray 12 may be considered as belonging to a new carrier tray, and at this time, the infrared tag reader 21 may read the identifier of the carrier tray 12 stored in the tag 23 by detecting the tag 23, and transmit the identifier of the carrier tray 12 to the controller 22; the controller 22 may establish a working life table for the identifier of the carrier tray 12, and calculate the working time of the carrier tray 12 according to the processing times of the double-side polishing apparatus 1, where the working time may be characterized by the running times, or by a specific length of the running period, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention. The working time of the carrier tray 12 can be recorded in the corresponding established working life table, and when the working time recorded in the working life table meets the set working life required to be replaced by the carrier tray, it indicates that the carrier tray 12 needs to be replaced, and at this time, the controller 22 can send a reminding instruction for reminding to replace the carrier tray 12. Therefore, the service life of a single bearing disc is controlled.
For the above technical solutions and examples thereof, in the implementation process, the specific setting positions and the number of the infrared tag readers 21 may be set according to actual operation requirements of a factory or equipment, for example, one double-sided polishing device may be matched with one infrared tag reader, or one double-sided polishing device may be matched with a plurality of infrared tag readers, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
