Detailed Implementation

[0029] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0030] In the following description, the words "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish the purpose of the description and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance or order.

[0031] In related technologies, silicon wafers are the fundamental material in the semiconductor field, on which various circuit element structures can be fabricated. To ensure the performance and quality of silicon wafers, sorting equipment is typically used for inspection and sorting. However, current sorting equipment has a low degree of automation and low sorting efficiency, which does not meet the requirements for sorting large quantities of silicon wafers.

[0032] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure provides a silicon wafer sorting system. The system can transport target silicon wafers to be inspected via a feeding module to a detection module through a first conveying component. The detection module then detects normal silicon wafers within the target wafers and transports them to a sorting module via the first conveying component. Conversely, the detection module detects abnormal silicon wafers within the target wafers and transports them to the sorting module via a second conveying component. By transporting normal and abnormal silicon wafers to the sorting module via different conveying components, the automation level of the equipment can be improved. The subsequent sorting module sorts the silicon wafers from different conveying components, thereby increasing the sorting efficiency and meeting the requirements for sorting large quantities of silicon wafers.

[0033] The present disclosure will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a silicon wafer sorting system 100 according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the silicon wafer sorting system 100 may include a feeding module 101, a detection module 102, a sorting module 103, a first conveying component S1, and a second conveying component S2. The feeding module 101, the detection module 102, and the sorting module 103 are sequentially connected via the first conveying component S1. The detection module 102 is also connected to the sorting module 103 via the second conveying component S2. The feeding module 101 is used to transfer the target silicon wafer to be detected to the detection module 102 via the first conveying component S1. The detection module 102 is used to transfer the normal silicon wafer to the sorting module 103 via the first conveying component S1 if the target silicon wafer is determined to be a normal silicon wafer; or, if the target silicon wafer is determined to be an abnormal silicon wafer, transfer the abnormal silicon wafer to the sorting module 103 via the second conveying component S2.

[0035] The first conveying component S1 can be a conveyor belt, which carries silicon wafers along the direction of the feeding module 101, the detection module 102, and the sorting module 103. The feeding module 101 can place the target silicon wafers on the first conveying component S1 according to a preset placement time. The width of the first conveying component S1 can be set according to the width of the target silicon wafer; for example, the width of the first conveying component S1 can be set to 1.5 times the width of the target silicon wafer. The second conveying component S2 is a conveyor belt arranged parallel to the first conveying component S1, and the width of the second conveying component S2 is not limited in this disclosure. The sorting module 103 receives normal silicon wafers transported by the first conveying component S1 and abnormal silicon wafers transported by the second conveying component S2, respectively, for grading and packaging the silicon wafers.

[0036] Using the above scheme, the target silicon wafers to be inspected can be transferred from the feeding module to the inspection module via the first conveying component. The inspection module then detects normal silicon wafers and transfers them to the sorting module via the first conveying component. Conversely, the inspection module detects abnormal silicon wafers and transfers them to the sorting module via the second conveying component. This method of transferring normal and abnormal silicon wafers to the sorting module via different conveying components improves the automation level of the equipment. The subsequent sorting module further improves the sorting efficiency by separating the silicon wafers from those transported via different components, thus meeting the requirements for sorting large quantities of silicon wafers.

[0037] In some embodiments, the detection module 102 may include a plurality of detection components, which are sequentially connected via the first transport component S1, and each detection component is also connected to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2; the detection module 102 is used to sequentially detect a plurality of test indicators of the target silicon wafer through the plurality of detection components.

[0038] For example, if a detection component determines that the target silicon wafer is a normal silicon wafer based on the detection result, the normal silicon wafer is transferred to the next detection component through the first transport component S1 for the next detection index to be detected. If any detection component determines that the target silicon wafer is an abnormal silicon wafer based on the detection result, the abnormal silicon wafer is directly transferred to the sorting module 103 through the second transport component S2 without the need for subsequent component detection. This can improve the sorting efficiency of silicon wafers and meet the sorting requirements of large batches of silicon wafers.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of detection components may include at least one of the following: thickness detection component 1021, flatness detection component 1022, crack detection component 1023, dirtiness detection component 1024, dimensional information detection component 1025, and warpage detection component 1026.

[0040] For example, with Figure 2 For example, the thickness detection component 1021, the flatness detection component 1022, the crack detection component 1023, the dirt detection component 1024, the size information detection component 1025, and the warpage detection component 1026 are sequentially connected through the first transport component S1, and the thickness detection component 1021, the flatness detection component 1022, the crack detection component 1023, the dirt detection component 1024, the size information detection component 1025, and the warpage detection component 1026 are respectively connected to the sorting module 103 through the second transport component S2. The detection module 102 sequentially detects the thickness, surface flatness, hidden cracks, dirtiness, size information, and warpage of the target silicon wafer through the thickness detection component 1021, the flatness detection component 1022, the crack detection component 1023, the dirtiness detection component 1024, the size information detection component 1025, and the warpage detection component 1026.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the thickness detection component 1021 may include a thickness detector 211 and a first controller 212 connected to the thickness detector 211.

[0042] The thickness detector 211 is used to detect the thickness of the target silicon wafer. For example, it can detect the thickness at multiple preset locations on the target silicon wafer using a capacitive coupling method, calculate the average thickness of the target silicon wafer, and obtain the thickness detection result. The first controller 212 is used to transfer the normal silicon wafer to the flatness detection component 1022 via the first transport component S1 when the thickness detection result determines that the target silicon wafer is a normal silicon wafer, for the next step of detecting the indicators to be detected; or, if the thickness detection result determines that the target silicon wafer is an abnormal silicon wafer, it is transferred to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2. In this way, target silicon wafers that do not meet the thickness standard are identified as abnormal silicon wafers and directly transferred to the sorting module for sorting without the need for subsequent component detection, which can improve the sorting efficiency of silicon wafers.

[0043] It should be noted that the capacitive coupling method and the method for calculating the average thickness can be found in existing technologies, and will not be elaborated here.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the flatness detection component 1022 may include a first laser emitting device 221 and a second controller 222 connected to the first laser emitting device 221.

[0045] The first laser emitting device 221 is used to detect the surface flatness of the target silicon wafer. For example, the first laser emitting device 221 can emit a laser at a preset angle to acquire an image of the first silicon wafer, and calculate the silicon wafer line marks based on the image to obtain the surface flatness detection result of the target silicon wafer. The second controller 222 is used to, if the target silicon wafer is determined to be a normal silicon wafer based on the surface flatness detection result, transfer the normal silicon wafer to the crack detection component 1023 via the first transport component S1 for further detection of the target indicators; or, if the target silicon wafer is determined to be an abnormal silicon wafer based on the surface flatness detection result, transfer the abnormal silicon wafer to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2. In this way, target silicon wafers that do not meet the surface flatness standard are identified as abnormal silicon wafers and directly transferred to the sorting module for sorting without the need for subsequent component detection, which can improve the sorting efficiency of silicon wafers.

[0046] It should be noted that the calculation method for silicon wafer traces can refer to relevant methods in existing technologies, and will not be elaborated here.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the crack detection component 1023 may include an infrared emitting device 231 and a third controller 232 connected to the infrared emitting device 231.

[0048] The infrared emitting device 231 is used to detect hidden cracks in the target silicon wafer. For example, infrared light can be emitted towards the target silicon wafer through the infrared emitting device 231 to detect microcracks and impurities, thus obtaining the hidden crack detection result. The third controller 232 is used to, if the target silicon wafer is determined to be a normal silicon wafer based on the hidden crack detection result, transfer the normal silicon wafer to the dirtiness detection component 1024 via the first transport component S1 for further detection of the target indicators; or, if the target silicon wafer is determined to be an abnormal silicon wafer based on the hidden crack detection result, transfer the abnormal silicon wafer to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2. In this way, target silicon wafers that do not meet the hidden crack standard are identified as abnormal silicon wafers and directly transferred to the sorting module for sorting without the need for subsequent component detection, thereby improving the silicon wafer sorting efficiency.

[0049] It should be noted that the calculation methods for microcracks and impurities can refer to relevant methods in the existing technology, which will not be elaborated here.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the dirt detection component 1024 may include an LED (Light-Emitting Diode) array 241 and a fourth controller 242 connected to the LED array 241.

[0051] The LED array 241 is used to detect the dirtiness of the target silicon wafer. For example, the target silicon wafer can be illuminated by the LED array 241, and the grayscale differences in different areas of the target silicon wafer can be compared to obtain the dirtiness detection result. The fourth controller 242 is used to transfer the normal silicon wafer to the size information detection component 1025 via the first transport component S1 when the target silicon wafer is determined to be a normal silicon wafer based on the dirtiness detection result, so as to perform the next step of detection of the target index; or, if the target silicon wafer is determined to be an abnormal silicon wafer based on the dirtiness detection result, the abnormal silicon wafer is transferred to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2. In this way, the target silicon wafer that does not meet the dirtiness standard is identified as an abnormal silicon wafer and directly transferred to the sorting module for sorting without the need for subsequent component detection, which can improve the sorting efficiency of silicon wafers.

[0052] It should be noted that the comparison method for grayscale differences can refer to relevant methods in the existing technology, which will not be elaborated here.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the size information detection component 1025 may include a second laser emitting device 251 and a fifth controller 252 connected to the second laser emitting device 251.

[0054] The second laser emitting device 251 is used to detect the size information of the target silicon wafer. For example, it can emit a laser to the target silicon wafer to obtain an image of the second silicon wafer, and determine the edge size information of the target silicon wafer based on the image to obtain the size information detection result of the target silicon wafer. The fifth controller 252 is used to transfer the normal silicon wafer to the warpage detection component 1026 via the first transport component S1 when the size information detection result determines that the target silicon wafer is a normal silicon wafer, so as to perform the next step of detecting the indicator to be detected; or, if the size information detection result determines that the target silicon wafer is an abnormal silicon wafer, it is transferred to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2. In this way, the target silicon wafer that does not meet the size information standard is identified as an abnormal silicon wafer and directly transferred to the sorting module for sorting without the need for subsequent component detection, which can improve the sorting efficiency of silicon wafers.

[0055] It should be noted that the method for determining edge size information can refer to relevant methods in the existing technology, which will not be elaborated here.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the warpage detection component 1026 may include a third laser emitting device 261 and a sixth controller 262 connected to the third laser emitting device 261.

[0057] The third laser emitting device 261 is used to detect the warpage of the target silicon wafer. For example, the third laser emitting device 261 can emit a laser to the target silicon wafer to obtain a third image of the silicon wafer, and determine the warpage information of the target silicon wafer based on the third image to obtain the warpage detection result of the target silicon wafer. The sixth controller 262 is used to, when the target silicon wafer is determined to be a normal silicon wafer based on the warpage detection result, transmit the normal silicon wafer to the sorting module 103 through the first transport component S1 so that the sorting module 103 can sort the normal silicon wafer; or, when the target silicon wafer is determined to be an abnormal silicon wafer based on the warpage detection result, transmit the abnormal silicon wafer to the sorting module 103 through the second transport component S2 so that the sorting module 103 can sort the abnormal silicon wafer, thereby improving the sorting efficiency and accuracy of the silicon wafers.

[0058] It should be noted that the method for determining the warpage can refer to relevant methods in the existing technology, which will not be elaborated here.

[0059] The following is combined Figure 8 The silicon wafer sorting system 100 shown is described below. The working principle of the silicon wafer sorting system 100 is explained as follows:

[0060] First, when the target silicon wafer to be inspected needs to be sorted by the silicon wafer sorting system 100, the feeding module 101 receives the target silicon wafer and transfers it to the inspection module 102 through the first transport component S1.

[0061] Subsequently, after receiving the target silicon wafer, the detection module 102 sequentially detects the thickness, surface flatness, hidden cracks, dirtiness, size information, and warpage of the target silicon wafer through the thickness detection component 1021, flatness detection component 1022, crack detection component 1023, contamination detection component 1024, size information detection component 1025, and warpage detection component 1026. Specifically, the thickness of the target silicon wafer is first detected by the thickness detection component 1021. The thickness detector 211 detects the average thickness of the target silicon wafer using a capacitive coupling method, obtaining the thickness detection result. The first controller 212 then transmits normal silicon wafers with normal thickness detection results to the flatness detection component 1022 via the first transport component S1, while abnormal silicon wafers with abnormal thickness detection results are transmitted to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2. After receiving the target silicon wafer, the flatness detection component 1022 uses a first laser emitting device 221 to detect the line marks on the target silicon wafer, obtaining a surface flatness detection result. The second controller 222 then transmits normal silicon wafers with normal surface flatness detection results to the crack detection component 1023 via the first transport component S1, while transmitting abnormal silicon wafers with abnormal surface flatness detection results to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2. After receiving the target silicon wafer, the crack detection component 1023 uses an infrared emitting device 231 to detect microcracks and impurities on the target silicon wafer, obtaining a hidden crack detection result. The third controller 232 then transmits normal silicon wafers with normal hidden crack detection results to the contamination detection component 1024 via the first transport component S1, while transmitting abnormal silicon wafers with abnormal hidden crack detection results to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2. After receiving the target silicon wafer, the dirtiness detection component 1024 uses the LED array 241 to compare the grayscale differences in different areas of the target silicon wafer to obtain the dirtiness detection result. The fourth controller 242 then transmits normal silicon wafers with normal dirtiness detection results to the size information detection component 1025 via the first transport component S1, while transmitting abnormal silicon wafers with abnormal dirtiness detection results to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2. After receiving the target silicon wafer, the size information detection component 1025 uses the second laser emitting device 251 to determine the edge size information of the target silicon wafer to obtain the size information detection result. The fifth controller 252 then transmits normal silicon wafers with normal size information detection results to the warpage detection component 1026 via the first transport component S1, while transmitting abnormal silicon wafers with abnormal size information detection results to the sorting module 103 via the second transport component S2.After receiving the target silicon wafer, the warpage detection component 1026 uses the third laser emitting device 261 to determine the warpage information of the target silicon wafer and obtain the warpage detection result. The sixth controller 262 then transmits the normal silicon wafers with normal warpage detection results to the sorting module 103 through the first transport component S1, while transmitting the abnormal silicon wafers with abnormal warpage detection results to the sorting module 103 through the second transport component S2.

[0062] Finally, the sorting module 103 sorts the normal silicon wafers transported by the warpage detection component 1026 through the first transport component S1, and sorts the abnormal silicon wafers transported by the thickness detection component 1021, flatness detection component 1022, crack detection component 1023, dirtiness detection component 1024, size information detection component 1025 and warpage detection component 1026 through the second transport component S2.

[0063] In this way, normal and abnormal silicon wafers in the target silicon wafers are transported to the sorting module through different transport components, which can improve the automation level of the equipment. The subsequent sorting module sorts the silicon wafers from different transport components, which can improve the sorting efficiency of silicon wafers and meet the sorting needs of large batches of silicon wafers.
