Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of semiconductor integrated circuits, and relates to a wafer back surface detection method, a detection device and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of semiconductor integrated circuits, the circuit pattern in the semiconductor integrated circuit is usually obtained by using a photolithography process. The photolithography process has been considered as the most critical step in the manufacture of integrated circuits, and needs to be used multiple times in the whole process, which has an important influence on the quality of products.

[0003] The photolithography process is a complex process, mainly including the following steps: first, forming a to-be-etched thin film layer on a substrate; then, using a glue coating machine to coat a photoresist on the to-be-etched thin film layer, and using an exposure machine to expose the photoresist by irradiating light through a mask plate with a certain pattern; then, developing the photoresist by using a developing solution, so as to transfer the pattern in the mask plate to the photoresist to form a photoresist pattern; finally, etching the to-be-etched thin film layer under the protection of the photoresist pattern, so as to transfer the photoresist pattern to the to-be-etched thin film layer, and obtain a circuit pattern by patterning the thin film layer. The photolithography process has a high requirement for the flatness of the back surface of the wafer. If the flatness of the back surface of the wafer is too poor, the vacuum adsorption effect of the exposure platform on the wafer will be poor, causing the wafer to be removed. Even if the wafer is not removed, the unevenness of the back surface of the wafer will cause the out-of-focus of the exposure pattern in the uneven area, resulting in distortion of the exposure pattern. In the prior art, there is no special check for the flatness of the back surface of the wafer before the wafer is exposed, and the result can only be known when the wafer is exposed. The wafer that is removed or the wafer with the out-of-focus exposure pattern needs to be reworked, which causes waste of machine time and materials, and prolongs the delivery time of the wafer.

[0067] As Figure 1As shown, the present application provides a wafer back surface detection method, comprising the following steps:

[0068] A wafer and a detection device are provided; wherein the wafer comprises a wafer back surface center region and a wafer back surface edge region surrounding the wafer back surface center region, the detection device comprises a wafer back surface detection device, an edge region chuck and a center region chuck; the wafer back surface detection device is arranged below the wafer back surface and parallel to the wafer; the edge region chuck is used to adsorb the wafer back surface edge region and expose the wafer back surface center region; the center region chuck is used to adsorb the wafer back surface center region, and the horizontal cross section of the center region chuck is not larger than the wafer back surface center region.
