    摘要: A device for centering circular wafers includes a support chuck for supporting a circular wafer to be centered upon its top surface, left, right and middle centering linkage rods and a cam plate synchronizing the rectilinear motion of the left, right and middle centering linkage rods. The left centering linkage rod includes a first rotating arm at a first end and rectilinear motion of the left centering linkage rod translates into rotational motion of the first rotating arm. The right centering linkage rod comprises a second rotating arm at a first end, and rectilinear motion of the right centering linkage rod translates into rotational motion of the second rotating arm. The first and second rotating arms are rotatable around an axis perpendicular to the top surface of the support chuck and comprise a curved edge surface configured to roll against the curved edge of the circular wafer. The middle centering linkage rod includes a third alignment arm at a first end. The third alignment arm is placed in contact with the curved edge of the circular wafer and linear motion of the middle centering linkage rod in the Y-direction pushes the third alignment arm and the circular wafer toward or away from the center of the support chuck. The cam plate includes first and second linear cam profiles. The first cam profile provides rectilinear motion for the middle centering linkage rod and the second linear cam profile provides rectilinear motion for the left and right centering linkage rods.

    摘要: A device for locating and engaging a notch on the perimeter of a circular wafer includes a notch locating component and a first plate. The notch locating component is configured to move linearly along a first axis and includes a front elongated component extending along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis and having a front surface, a back surface opposite to the front surface and a first protrusion extending from the front surface of the elongated component. The first protrusion has a shape complementing the shape of a notch formed on the perimeter of a circular wafer. As the notch locating component is driven toward the perimeter of the circular wafer along the first axis, a distance between the back surface of the elongated component and a front surface of the first plate is measured and the value of the measured distance is used to determine engagement of the first protrusion with the notch.

    摘要: A debonder apparatus for debonding two via an adhesive layer combined with a release layer temporary bonded wafers includes a chuck assembly, a flex plate assembly and a contact roller. The chuck assembly includes a chuck and a first wafer holder configured to hold wafers in contact with the top surface of the chuck. The flex plate assembly includes a flex plate and a second wafer holder configured to hold wafers in contact with a first surface of the flex plate. The flex plate comprises a first edge connected to a hinge and a second edge diametrically opposite to the first edge, and the flex plate's first edge is arranged adjacent to a first edge of the chuck and the flex plate is configured to swing around the hinge and to be placed above the top surface of the chuck. The contact roller is arranged adjacent to a second edge of the chuck, which is diametrically opposite to its first edge. A debond drive motor is configured to move the contact roller vertical to the plane of the chuck top surface. In operation, a wafer pair, comprising a carrier wafer stacked upon and being bonded to a device wafer via an adhesive layer and a release layer, is placed upon the chuck so that the ubonded surface of the device wafer is in contact with the chuck top surface. Next, the flex plate swings around the hinge and is placed above the bottom chuck so that its first surface is in contact with the unbonded surface of the carrier wafer. Next, the contact roller is driven upward until it contacts and pushes the second edge of the flex plate up while the carrier wafer is held by the flex plate and the device wafer is held by the chuck via the second and first wafer holders, respectively. The contact roller push flexes the second edge of the flex plate and causes delamination of the wafer pair along the release layer.

Opening an inlet valve connects the tank to a nitrogen gas source and allows nitrogen gas to flow through the tank. Opening an outlet valve allows a mixture of formic acid vapor with nitrogen gas to flow out of the tank. The mixture is used for treating the surfaces of the first and second semiconductor structures.
