Abstract

The invention discloses a wafer detection method, related to the technical field of semiconductors. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, a sensor moves to a scanning starting position; then, the sensor is turned on; the sensor moves to a scanning ending position, wherein position information of a wafer is latched in the process; then, the sensor is turned off; a controller calculatesout a state of the wafer in each slot in a wafer box according to the latched position information; and finally, the controller sends a calculation result to an upper computer. Compared with the prior art, in the method provided by the invention, the controller continuously receives on and off signals output by an optical fiber amplifier, then, latches the position information of the wafer according to upper and lower edges of waveforms, and calculates the state of placement of the wafer in the wafer box according to a special algorithm; since a continuous high-speed latching function is realized, a system is free from reading each time when one value is latched, delay caused by communication is reduced, and thus, the method provided by the invention can scan a complete wafer box quicklyonce time, efficiency of scanning is improved, and accuracy is also improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a wafer inspection method. Background technique [0002] In semiconductor processing, it is often necessary to transfer wafers between various stations. Before transferring, it is necessary to detect the placement status of wafers in each slot in the cassette, and upload the detection results to the host computer; the host computer According to the placement status of the wafers in each slot in the cassette, combined with the process flow to schedule the pick-up and release of the robot. If the detection result is incorrect, it may result in failure to pick up the chip and the process cannot be carried out smoothly, or cause the collision of the chip and cause the wafer to be scrapped. However, there are many deficiencies in the existing detection method of the wafer placement state. [0003] For example, when latching the z-axis position information, every time a positio...
