Description of the invention (1) The technical field to which the invention belongs: The present invention relates to a wafer-bearing farm, and particularly relates to a wafer-bearing device that can be used for vapor deposition equipment. Prior technology: Φ Current vapor deposition equipment, such as physical vapor deposition equipment, uses a plasma to bombard a metal target to sputter metal materials onto the wafer. However, during the deposition process, metal particles are not only deposited on the surface of the wafer, but also on other parts of the physical vapor deposition equipment, such as the cover ring of the wafer carrier. Contaminated parts. Therefore, at regular intervals, the cover ring needs to be cleaned to maintain the quality of physical vapor deposition. Covering rings are usually cleaned using chemical solvents and sandblasting. Sand blasting uses gas to blow sand at a high speed across the surface of the cover ring to scrape off contaminants from the surface of the cover ring. However, in the process of removing contaminants, the material covering the ring itself is also consumed. Therefore, after several blast cleanings, the thinner part of the cover ring is often worn through, making the cover ring unusable. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a wafer carrying device and its components. The design of the cover ring of the present invention allows the cover ring to be cleaned during the cleaning process, such as chemical solvents and sand blasting, to slow down or avoid the reduction of the service life of the device caused by the consumption of materials. The design of the covering ring of the present invention can prolong its service life, thereby saving the expense of equipment consumables.
