  • Patent number: 12094755
    Abstract: This application provides a protection mechanism and a method for protecting a wafer and a pin. The protection mechanism includes: a drive; a linear unit, connected to the drive, so as to cause a pin to eject a wafer under the action of the drive; a torsion meter, configured to measure a torque of the protection mechanism in a process of ejecting the wafer by the pin; and a control module, configured to receive the torque measured by the torsion meter, and compare the torque with a predetermined value. The torsion meter is disposed between the drive and the linear unit. The to protection mechanism can effectively measure, in real time, a torque generated in a process of ejecting the wafer, and can determine, according to the torque, whether an abnormality occurs in the ejection process, so that an accident such as wafer fragmentation or pin fracturing can be effectively prevented.

  • Patent number: 11990363
    Abstract: A wafer support pin lifting device includes a support plate, a slide block and a lifting pole. The support plate is for supporting multiple support pins. The slide block is slidably connected to an inner wall of a cavity so that the slide block slides relative to the cavity. The lifting pole has a first end, a second end and a third end. The first end is connected to the support plate, the second end is pivotally connected to the slide block, and the third end is connected to an actuator. With the pivotal connection between the second end of the lifting pole and the slide block, the lifting pole approaching the high position causes the support plate to be approximately horizontal, and the lifting pole approaching the low position causes the support plate to be tilted.
