Problems solved by technology

Since most production defects are at the edge of the wafer, each product may have a different size and thus have a different wafer image with different locations of defects at the edge of the wafer

Embodiment 1

[0058] After the wafer arrives at the factory, it needs to be cut, and how to cut it has been determined according to the different products. for example Figure 6 , cut into 12 columns in the X direction and 15 columns in the Y direction;

[0059] After cutting, each cut small unit is a die. The individual dies are sent for testing in full break-up order, but the position X and Y of each die on the wafer is recorded along with the die. When testing, we only know the position parameters of each die such as X=2, Y=-3. Therefore, if you want to know where the die is on the wafer, this is very important, because the edge of the wafer The possibility of congenital defects in the die is very high. If the die test fails, it is necessary to decide whether to conduct further investigation based on its position on the wafer. Wafer map to decide.

[0060] This wafer edge die determination method is a method to calculate whether a die is at the edge of the wafer. The definition of th...

Embodiment 2

[0068] This embodiment discloses a figure 1 In the wafer edge die determination method shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, further, in the wafer division S2, the number of columns at both ends in the X direction is set to be X min , X max , and the number of columns at both ends in the Y direction is Y min , Y max , and the position of each die on the wafer map is (X, Y), where X min ≦X≦X max , and Y min ≦Y≦Y max , the values ​​of X and Y are both integers (including positive and negative integers).

[0069] Since the wafer has been divided and the position of the die has been disturbed during the inspection of the use of the die, it is impossible to determine where the die is originally located on the wafer and whether it is a die on the edge of the wafer through the method of restoring and comparing the wafer map. core, and the wafer itself is also limited by factors such as processing level, it is difficult to form a perfect circle, but the die itself belongs to pre...

Embodiment 3

[0077] This embodiment discloses a figure 1 The shown wafer edge die judgment method, on the basis of Embodiments 1 and 2, further, the die eigenvalue constant P is 0.7; the wafer edge eigenvalue constant E is 0.02, and the die judgment is set The value is A, A=R (X,Y) -M, wherein M is a constant of edge judgment feature value and M=0.98;

[0078] When the die position is determined in S4, substitute the position (X, Y) of the die to be determined, the position of the center die (X 0 ,Y 0 ) and X-axis eigenvalue a, Y-axis eigenvalue b, die eigenvalue constant P and wafer edge eigenvalue constant E;

[0079]

[0080] Calculate the result A;

[0081] If A>0, it is determined that the defective die is located at the edge of the wafer; if A≦0, it is determined that the defective die is located within the wafer.

[0082] This wafer edge die judgment method uses a formulaic technical method to directly give the judgment result of whether the die belongs to the wafer edge pos...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of wafer edge detection, and discloses a wafer edge die determination method and system, which uses the center point of the wafer as the origin to establish a plane wafer diagram with X and Y directions; The position of each point can be described by the value of the X direction and the Y direction; the wafer is divided into several dies from the X direction and the Y direction according to the processing die size parameters, and each die is The position parameters of the die are described in the X and Y directions on the wafer map; according to the actual production requirements, one or more rounds of die located on the outermost edge of the wafer map are set as the edge die of the wafer core, and calculate the minimum distance R between the edge and the center of the wafer (i.e. the origin) according to the position parameters of the die determined as the edge, calculate the distance between the die and the center point of the wafer (i.e. the origin), and compare the distance between the edge and the wafer The minimum distance R of the center point (ie, the origin) is compared to determine whether the position of the die is the edge of the wafer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wafer edge detection, and in particular relates to a wafer edge die determination method and system. Background technique [0002] Wafer refers to the silicon wafer used in the production of silicon semiconductor integrated circuits. Because of its circular shape, it is called a wafer. Various circuit element structures can be processed on silicon wafers, and become integrated circuit products with specific electrical functions. [0003] However, the current wafer manufacturing process still cannot avoid defects at the edge of the wafer. Therefore, when using wafers for processing, it is possible to determine whether there are defects caused by the wafer processing process or factory process by monitoring the wafer edge defects, and judge Detect whether it is caused by the production process of the factory, so as to eliminate the source of the problem in time. [0004] After the wafer arrives at the fac...
