AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing wafer inspection equipment cannot simultaneously and efficiently detect defects on the front and back of the wafer, especially defects on the back. Imaging is difficult due to the frosted texture of the blue film, and the sagging problem caused by flipping inspection affects the accuracy and stability of inspection, making it difficult to achieve automated inspection.

Method used

A wafer inspection device is designed, which includes front and back inspection devices. The back inspection device uses a transparent liquid in the support part to soak the blue film on the back of the wafer to reduce light scattering, and adjusts the distance between the optical module and the wafer by moving the module to avoid sagging effects, thereby achieving high-precision inspection without flipping.

Benefits of technology

It achieves simultaneous high-precision detection of the front and back sides of the wafer, solves the problems of blue film imaging obstacles and sagging, meets the needs of automated and efficient detection, and improves the accuracy and stability of detection.

Abstract

The invention provides wafer detection equipment and method, and relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing. The equipment comprises a base platform, a wafer carrying table movably arranged on the base platform, a front surface detection device arranged above the wafer carrying table, and a back surface detection device arranged below the wafer carrying table. The back face detection device comprises a supporting part for supporting the wafer, a containing cavity is formed in the supporting part, and the containing cavity is filled with transparent liquid to infiltrate the outer surface of a blue film on the back face of the wafer. Light scattering caused by frosted texture of the blue film is eliminated through infiltration of the transparent liquid, meanwhile, the wafer is supported through the supporting part to avoid the sagging problem, front and back synchronous detection without overturning of the wafer is achieved, and the technical problems of blue film imaging obstacle and automatic detection failure in the prior art are solved.
