Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a wafer transfer fork, and more particularly, to a wafer transfer fork equipped with a fixing rubber for fixing a wafer.
In a semiconductor manufacturing process, a transfer device for transferring wafers to respective process chambers is used so that unit processes such as etching or diffusion of wafers can be performed. The wafers can be transported individually, or a plurality of wafers can be loaded and transported in a cassette. The wafer transfer device loads or transports the wafers loaded in the cassette individually into a specific device. In an apparatus for transferring wafers, a robot arm has a member called a fork, so that the wafer can be moved to a desired point using a fork. When transferring the wafer through the fork, the robot arm performs two-dimensional horizontal movement.
However, when the wafer is transferred to the fork, a slip phenomenon of the wafer placed on the fork may occur. When the wafer slips, the wafer is not aligned to the correct position and is released to one side. Transferring the detached wafer may result in damage due to contact with gate doors, up / down facilities, etc. In order to solve this problem, at least four fixing rods are usually mounted on the end portion of the fork. Since the fixed rubber itself has adhesiveness, it serves to prevent the wafer from slipping.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a wafer transfer fork that prevents detachment of a fixing rubber from occurring during transportation of a wafer, and prevents leakage of an adhesive.
A wafer transfer fork for solving the problems of the present invention includes a fork for mounting a wafer and a plurality of fixing rubbers formed on the fork. At this time, the fixing rubber is composed of a wafer contact portion inserted into a fixing hole formed in the fork and contacting the wafer, an insertion body and a detachment prevention plate, the wafer contacting portion being a contact portion fixing hole of the fixing hole, The body fixing hole and the detachment prevention plate are fitted into the fixing plate fixing hole of the fixing hole.
In the fork of the present invention, the wafer contact portion, the insertion body, and the detachment prevention plate may be integrally formed. The detachable protection plate may be adhered to the insertion body via an adhesive layer. It is preferable that the body fixing hole and the prevention plate fixing hole are rectangular holes. The fixing rubber may be at least one selected from the group consisting of silicone rubber, polyurethane rubber, fluorine rubber, acrylic rubber, polyamide rubber, polyisobutylene rubber, polyisoprene rubber, chloroprene rubber, butyl rubber, nitrile butyl rubber, styrene- Styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene-isoprene-styrene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, or a mixture thereof. have.
In the preferred fork of the present invention, an adhesive layer is disposed between the wafer bonding portion, the bonding portion fixing hole, the detachable protection plate, and the prevention plate fixing hole, and the adhesive layer is not exposed to the outside of the fork. It is preferable that the adhesive layer is made of a thermosetting adhesive, and the heat treatment temperature of the adhesive layer is lower than the heat resistant temperature of the release layer applied to the fork.
According to the wafer transfer fork of the present invention, the detachment prevention plate is formed on the fixing rubber on which the wafer is seated, so that the detachment of the fixing rubber does not occur during transportation of the wafer. Further, the adhesive can be limited to the inside of the fixing hole of the fork, thereby preventing the adhesive from flowing out.
1 is a view showing a fork equipped with a conventional fixing rubber.
2 is a view showing a first fork for wafer transfer according to the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a fork body into which the first fixing rubber of FIG. 2 is inserted.
4 is a view showing a second fork for wafer transfer according to the present invention.
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below can be modified into various other forms, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. The embodiments of the present invention are provided to enable those skilled in the art to more fully understand the present invention.
The embodiment of the present invention proposes a fork that prevents detachment of the fixing rubber and prevents the adhesive from flowing out while the wafer is mounted and transported by forming a detachable plate on the fixing rubber on which the wafer is seated. To this end, a detailed description will be given of the structure of the fixed rubber having the detachment prevention plate formed thereon, and the process of preventing the detachment of the fixed rubber by the detachment prevention plate will be described in detail. In addition, the manner in which the adhesive for fixing the stationary rubber does not leak out will be described in detail. The fixed rubber of the present invention is applied to a process for manufacturing a semiconductor device. Hereinafter, a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device will be described as an example.
