The inventor of the application finds that the existing supporting piece of the wafer is mostly of a single guide supporting structure, the position of the wafer is easy to deviate in the process of bearing the wafer, and the problem of poor centering performance exists after the guide supporting.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the semiconductor apparatus for preventing wafer shifting according to the present embodiment includes a wafer supporting device 10, where the wafer supporting device 10 includes a mounting plate 100 and a plurality of supporting members 200, and the plurality of supporting members 200 are arranged along a circumferential direction of the mounting plate 100; each of the supporting members 200 includes a main limiting column 210, an auxiliary limiting column 220 and a receiving portion 230, the receiving portion 230 is disposed on the mounting plate 100, the receiving portion 230 has a receiving surface 231, the main limiting column 210 and the auxiliary limiting column 220 are disposed on the receiving surface 231, and the receiving surface 231 is used for supporting the wafer 400; the primary restraint post 210 and the secondary restraint post 220 cooperate to guide the wafer 400 such that the wafer 400 is centered on the plurality of support members 200.
In this embodiment, a plurality of supporting pieces 200 are arranged in the same circumferential direction, the number of the main limiting columns 210 of each supporting piece 200 is one, the number of the auxiliary limiting columns 220 includes two, and the two auxiliary limiting columns 220 are respectively located at two sides of the main limiting columns 210; the receiving surface 231 includes a receiving area 2311 and a non-receiving area 2312, the primary restraint column 210 and the two secondary restraint columns 220 of each receiving member 200 are disposed in the non-receiving area 2312, the primary restraint column 210 and the secondary restraint column 220 of the non-receiving area cooperate to guide the wafer 400, and the receiving area is used for supporting the wafer 400.
In the process of supporting the wafer 400, the edge of the wafer 400 contacts with the primary restraint posts 210 and the secondary restraint posts 220 at different stages, and the wafer 400 is finally supported by the plurality of support areas 2311 under the dual guiding action of the primary restraint posts 210 and the secondary restraint posts 220, so that the wafer 400 is not prone to shift, and the alignment of the wafer 400 is improved.
Further, the main retaining column 210 includes a guide portion 211, the height of the guide portion 211 is higher than that of the sub-retaining column 220, and the guide portion 211 guides the wafer 400.
In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the end surface of the guide portion 211 is an ellipse, and the area of the top surface of the guide portion 211 is smaller than the area of the bottom surface; the auxiliary limiting columns 220 are conical, because the height of the guide parts 211 is higher than that of the auxiliary limiting columns 220, in the process of bearing the wafer 400, the guide parts 211 firstly contact the wafer 400 to primarily guide the wafer 400, and the primary guide realizes large-amplitude deviation correction until the wafer 400 contacts the auxiliary limiting columns 220, and the auxiliary limiting columns 220 perform secondary guide on the wafer 400, and the secondary guide realizes small-amplitude accurate positioning, namely the guide parts 211 of the main limiting columns 210 arranged in the middle can enable the wafer 400 to be roughly adjusted in the circumferential direction to realize rapid small-stress centering and deviation correction of the wafer 400, and then if the single main limiting column 210 is still adopted for guiding to enable the wafer 400 to fall to the bearing surface 231, the wafer still has the possibility of incomplete centering and deviation, therefore, the wafer 400 is guided secondarily by the auxiliary limiting columns 220 arranged at two sides of the main limiting columns 210 at intervals, the wafer 400 is guided at least doubled at each bearing piece 200 to enable the wafer 400 to be guided and finely adjusted in position, so that the small-amplitude accurate positioning and position adjustment of the wafer 400 are realized, and the alignment of the wafer 400 is further improved, and the wafer 400 is not easy to deviate; in addition, the cross-sectional shape of the end surface of the guide portion 211 is an ellipse, and the structural arrangement in which the area of the top surface of the guide portion 211 is smaller than the area of the bottom surface reduces the contact area with the wafer 400, so that the wafer 400 is not easily damaged.
In addition, the main limiting column 210 further includes a positioning portion 212, the positioning portion 212 is disposed on the receiving surface 231, and the guiding portion 211 is connected to one end of the positioning portion 212 departing from the receiving surface 231; when the wafer 400 is located at the center of the plurality of supporting members 200, the positioning portion 212 abuts against the sidewall of the wafer 400; the height of the positioning portion 212 is equal to the height of the secondary limiting column 220, so that a better stable supporting effect can be achieved, and the possibility of wafer movement of the wafer 400 is avoided.
In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the end surface of the positioning portion 212 is an ellipse, the positioning portion 212 is coaxially connected to the guide portion 211, and the area of the top surface of the positioning portion 212 is equal to the area of the bottom surface of the guide portion 211. After the guiding portion 211 and the sub-limiting column 220 guide the wafer 400, the wafer 400 is supported on the bearing surface 231, and the positioning portion 212 limits the wafer 400 to prevent the wafer 400 from deviating; in addition, the positioning portion 212 is formed in an elliptical column shape, and thus the wafer 400 is not easily damaged.
The main retaining post 210 further includes a retaining portion 213, and the retaining portion 213 is disposed at the top end of the guiding portion 211 to retain the wafer 400.
In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the end surface of the limiting portion 213 is an ellipse, the limiting portion 213 is coaxially connected to the guide portion 211, and the bottom surface area of the limiting portion 213 is equal to the top surface area of the guide portion 211.
The limiting portion 213 is disposed to increase the height of the main limiting column 210, so as to limit the wafer 400, and the wafer 400 is not easily separated from the supporting member 200 during the process of receiving the wafer 400.
In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shapes of the end surfaces of the main limit post 210 and the auxiliary limit post 220 are both set to be elliptical, and the elliptical cross-section can increase the contact area between the main limit post 210 and the auxiliary limit post 220 and the wafer 400 during the guiding process of the wafer 400, increase the effect of guiding adjustment, and further increase the supporting stability.
In other embodiments, referring to fig. 4, the cross-sectional shapes of the end surfaces of the primary restraint post 210 and the secondary restraint post 220 may also be circular.
In this embodiment, a connection line between the main limiting column 210 and the two sub-limiting columns 220 of each supporting member 200 near the wafer 400 is an arc line, and the arc line is overlapped with an edge line of the wafer 400.
The arc line has the same radian as the wafer 400, so that the wafer 400 can be better attached to the main limiting column 210 and the two side auxiliary limiting columns 220, and therefore, based on a guiding mode of three-point positioning of the main limiting column 210 and the two side auxiliary limiting columns 220 to a remote contact position, the small-range circumferential and vertical self-adjusting guiding of the wafer 400 can be better realized, and the positioning accuracy of the wafer 400 can be further improved. Meanwhile, the main restraint columns 210 and the left and right auxiliary restraint columns 220 support the wafer 400 at multiple points, so that the wafer 400 is supported more stably.
Further, the included angle between the centers of the two secondary limiting columns 220 and the line connecting the centers of the circle corresponding to the circular arc line is 1-10 °.
It should be noted that the included angle between the connection line between the centers of the two secondary restraint pillars 220 and the circle center corresponding to the arc line refers to the included angle between the two connection lines from the centers of the two secondary restraint pillars 220 to the circle center of the wafer 400 when the wafer 400 is supported on the receiving area 2311. The included angle is limited to 1-10 degrees, and within the angle range, the two auxiliary limiting columns 220 can have a better positioning effect on the wafer 400 by matching with the main limiting column 210; preferably, the included angle between the centers of the two secondary limiting columns 220 and the line connecting the centers of the circle corresponding to the arc line can also be 2-3 degrees, and the primary limiting column 210 and the secondary limiting columns 220 on the two sides can be better attached to the wafer 400, so that a better positioning effect is achieved. The included angle between the centers of the two secondary limiting columns 220 and the connecting line of the circle centers corresponding to the arc lines is too small, so that the effect of realizing small-amplitude accurate positioning by secondary guiding is not obvious; the included angle is too large, the position adjusting amplitude in the secondary guiding process is too large, the influence on the displacement of the wafer 400 is too large, and the accurate positioning effect is also obviously reduced.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 5, the connection line between the main retaining post 210 and the two sub-retaining posts 220 in each of the supporting members 200 near one side of the wafer 400 is located on the same horizontal line. After the guiding portion 211 primarily guides the wafer 400, the two secondary restraint posts 220 perform secondary guiding until the wafer 400 is received on the receiving area 2311, so as to achieve an accurate positioning effect.
