  • Patent number: 12311409
    Abstract: A silicon wafer sorting mechanism includes a wafer distribution unit, a sorting unit, and a transmission unit disposed sequentially. The sorting unit includes a sorting table with one terminal hinged to the wafer distribution unit. The sorting table rotates and tilts with a point where the sorting table is hinged to the wafer distribution unit. The sorting table and the transmission unit are arranged up and down in dislocation or the sorting table is placed horizontally against the transmission unit, thereby forming two transmission lines in different directions to sort silicon wafers of different types.

  • Publication number: 20250087510
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a system for monitoring moving and stepping silicon wafers and a method adopts the system. The system includes a first sensing element to monitor whether a gap between adjacent silicon wafers exists, and a second sensing element to monitor whether two silicon wafers are laminated. The first sensing element and the second sensing element are both disposed in a slot where the silicon wafers are turned over, and suspended on a front side of a sorting wheel in the slot and obliquely arranged towards one side of the sorting wheel. The system installed in the narrow space between the cleaning tank and the sorting tank has simple structure and is capable of quickly and accurately monitoring the silicon wafer turnover, and accurately determining whether there is a continuous or laminated silicon wafer during the silicon wafer turnover process.

  • Publication number: 20250079219
    Abstract: A silicon wafer transfer auxiliary device includes blowpipes disposed on a side of a sorting wheel. Nozzles of the blowpipes are inclined towards the side of the sorting wheel. The blowpipes are capable of spraying liquid or gas towards a silicon wafer during transfer to increase an adsorption force between the silicon wafer and the sorting wheel and to successfully complete a turning of the silicon wafer from a vertical direction to a side close to the sorting wheel.

  • Publication number: 20250018447
    Abstract: A lifting control apparatus may include: a base for holding a basket containing silicon wafers; brackets provided on an outside of both ends of the base; and a driver for driving the brackets to move up and down. The driver is provided with a lead screw. The lead screw is connected with the bracket on a same side. The lead screw on one side is driven to rotate the lead screw on another side synchronously, and the lead screws on both sides are driven to move the brackets on both sides and the base between the brackets up and down together. Or the lead screws on both sides are driven to rotate synchronously, so that the lead screws on both sides drive the base between the brackets through the correspondingly brackets to move up and down together.
