Problems solved by technology

[0003] Existing optical inspection equipment can only inspect one side of the wafer, and cannot realize simultaneous inspection on both sides; when both sides of the wafer need to be inspected, the wafer needs to be transferred or even turned over. action, resulting in cumbersome detection process and low detection efficiency
In addition, the existing optical inspection equipment is prone to the situation that the detection results of the front side of the wafer and the detection results of the back side of the wafer are difficult to correspond to each other after inspection, which affects the detection rate of wafer defects.

Embodiment 1

[0051] like figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the optical inspection device provided in this embodiment is specifically used to detect defects on the wafer surface. The optical inspection equipment includes a bracket assembly 20, a stage 30 for carrying wafers to be inspected, a first main inspection lens 41, a second main inspection lens 42, a stage driving unit 50, and an imaging analysis unit (not shown) . In this embodiment, the first main inspection lens 41 and the second main inspection lens 42 are selected from 3 to 5 times lenses, and the resolution is 0.6 μm to 1.6 μm. Of course, it should be noted that the first main inspection lens 41 and the second main inspection lens 42 are not limited to 3-5x lenses, and their specific magnifications can be switched according to actual needs.

[0052] Specifically, the first main inspection lens 61 is mounted on the bracket assembly 20, and the camera end of the first main inspection lens 41 faces the side of the wafer to be i...

Embodiment 2

[0062] like Figure 7As shown, the optical inspection device provided in this embodiment is specifically used to detect defects on the wafer surface. The difference between the optical inspection device in this embodiment and the optical inspection device in the first embodiment is that a first re-inspection lens 61 and a second re-inspection lens 62 are added, and the carrier 30 drives the wafer to be inspected to move In order to enable the wafer to be inspected to enter the field of view of the first re-inspection lens 61 and the second re-inspection lens 62, the first re-inspection lens 61 and the second re-inspection lens 62 are respectively The imaging analysis unit is electrically connected, the first re-inspection lens 61 is used to obtain the first re-inspection image of the side of the wafer to be inspected facing away from the stage 30, and the second re-inspection lens 62 is used for A second re-inspection diagram of the wafer to be inspected attached to one side ...

Embodiment 3

[0067] like Figure 9 As shown, the optical inspection device provided in this embodiment is specifically used to detect defects on the wafer surface. The difference between the optical detection device in this embodiment and the optical detection device in the first embodiment is that a pre-inspection unit 70 is added. The pre-inspection unit 70 is electrically connected to the imaging analysis unit, and is used for acquiring a pre-inspection map of the wafer to be inspected. The purpose is to, as Figure 10 As shown, usually some dies on some wafers to be inspected need to be inspected (the gray area in the figure), while some dies do not need to be inspected (the light-colored area in the figure). The detected crystal grains are detected, the pre-checking unit 70 is added to mark the required crystal grains, and the marking is fed back to the imaging analysis unit, so that the imaging analysis unit only targets the crystal grains in the marked area. Defect detection is p...

Abstract

The invention provides optical detection equipment which is used for detecting surface defects of a wafer. The optical detection equipment comprises a support assembly, a carrying table, a first main detection lens, a second main detection lens, a carrying table driving unit and an imaging analysis unit, the camera shooting end of the first main detection lens faces the camera shooting end of the second main detection lens, and the camera shooting end of the first main detection lens and the camera shooting end of the second main detection lens are arranged in the direction perpendicular to the supporting face of the carrying table. The supporting surface of the carrying table is provided with a light-transmitting structure; when the carrying table driving unit drives the carrying table to move in the x direction and / or the y direction of the plane where the supporting face of the carrying table is located, the carrying table bearing the to-be-detected wafer is located between the first main detection lens and the second main detection lens which are correspondingly arranged so that the front face and the back face of the to-be-detected wafer can be detected at the same time. And the front surface detection result and the back surface detection result of the wafer to be detected completely correspond to each other, so that the purposes of simplifying the detection process and improving the defect detection rate and the detection efficiency of the wafer are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wafer detection, and in particular relates to an optical detection device. Background technique [0002] Wafer refers to the wafer used to make silicon semiconductor circuits, and its starting material is usually silicon. High-purity polysilicon is dissolved and mixed with silicon crystal seeds, which are then slowly pulled out to form cylindrical monocrystalline silicon. The silicon ingot is ground, polished and sliced ​​to form a silicon wafer, that is, a wafer. In the wafer fabrication process, a series of processes such as pulling a single crystal, slicing, grinding, polishing, build-up, photolithography, doping, heat treatment and scribing can cause defects on the wafer surface. In order to prevent defective wafers from flowing into the packaging process, optical inspection equipment is needed to identify and classify and mark defects on the wafer surface to assist in wafer sorting. [0003] The e...
