Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of wafer testing, and particularly relates to a method for comparing a post-stage quality inspection MAP with a pre-stage customer-provided MAP. BACKGROUND
[0002] The main purpose of wafer testing is to not package the bad chips found in the testing, so as to reduce the packaging cost. In the field of wafer testing, a probe card is a medium between a wafer and a testing machine. The probe card is usually directly placed on a prober and connected to the testing machine by wires. The purpose of the probe card is to provide a connection between the chip and the testing machine, and to complete the wafer testing. The probe card is a customized connector in a general mode, and usually needs to provide a specific probe card for different types of wafers. Figure 1 The related equipment in the wafer testing link and the MAP are shown.
[0003] The wafer testing may involve multiple testing links before and after, and even occur between different testing plants. Before the wafer testing is implemented in the post-stage testing plant, some wafers exist in the pre-stage testing plant (note: the pre-stage testing plant is the pre-stage customer) to provide the MAP file after the testing. Moreover, before the wafer testing is implemented in the post-stage testing plant, the quality inspection MAP of the testing plant also needs to be generated by itself, and compared with the MAP provided by the pre-stage customer. Therefore, for the post-stage testing plant, it also involves the inspection of wafers in the wafer testing quality inspection QC link.
[0004] In the prior art, for the wafer testing quality inspection, the workers rely on manual comparison of the pre-stage customer-provided MAP and the quality inspection MAP. The manual comparison must open the customer-provided MAP, and then the workers search for which die is fail in the pre-stage customer-provided MAP one by one, and then compare with the quality inspection MAP. The problem is that the file of the pre-stage customer-provided MAP does not have specific coordinates, and it is easy to repeatedly check some die. Especially, with the increase of the number of wafers, the manual comparison is extremely prone to error and time-consuming.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a technical solution that improves the work efficiency of workers and avoids errors caused by manual operation. SUMMARY
[0006] Therefore, the present application provides a method for comparing a post-stage quality inspection MAP with a pre-stage customer-provided MAP, which comprises the following steps:

[0013] In step S300, the comparison is according to the one-to-one correspondence of the die.

[0036] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0037] In one embodiment, the present application discloses a method for comparing a back-end quality inspection MAP graph and a front-end customer-supplied MAP graph, the method comprising the following steps:
[0038] S100, establishing a mapping between a flow card number and a file corresponding to the back-end quality inspection MAP graph;
[0039] S200, providing a storage path of a file corresponding to the front-end customer-supplied MAP graph;
[0040] S300, according to the mapping and the storage path, comparing the file corresponding to the quality inspection MAP graph and the file corresponding to the front-end customer-supplied MAP graph, and generating a comparison MAP graph file after comparison.
[0041] For this embodiment, although the file of the front-end customer-supplied MAP graph does not have specific coordinates as known by those skilled in the art, the inventors have innovatively taken advantage of the feature that the file corresponding to the back-end quality inspection MAP graph has coordinates, thereby comparing the file corresponding to the quality inspection MAP graph and the file corresponding to the front-end customer-supplied MAP graph, and generating a comparison MAP graph file containing the comparison result through comparison between the two. In this way, the present application fully utilizes data processing technology to improve the problems caused by manual quality inspection in the prior art.
[0042] Referring to Figure 2 which shows the interface of the method in one embodiment of the present application when executed by the corresponding tool software;
[0043] Preferably,
[0044] In step S300, the principle of comparison is to prevent die missing and misplacement.
[0045] Preferably,
[0046] In step S300, comparison is made according to the one-to-one correspondence of the die.
[0047] Preferably,
[0048] In step S300, after the comparison, according to the test results of each die in the file corresponding to the post-inspection MAP and the file corresponding to the pre-customer MAP, a logical operation is performed to produce the compared MAP file.
[0049] Preferably,
[0050] In step S300, the comparison is performed in the background.
[0051] Preferably,
[0052] In step S300, the comparison is performed without opening the file corresponding to the post-inspection MAP and the file corresponding to the pre-customer MAP.
[0053] Preferably, the method further comprises the following steps:
[0054] S400, the comparison result is displayed in a visual manner.
[0055] Preferably,
[0056] The compared MAP file is in an excel file format.
[0057] In another embodiment, for the aforementioned logical operation,
[0058] The logical operation includes logical AND and logical OR operations, wherein,
[0059] When the post-inspection MAP considers a certain die as fail, a logical AND operation is performed, and the comparison result is fail regardless of whether the pre-customer MAP considers the corresponding die as fail or pass; more preferably, at this time, the bin item is displayed as the corresponding bin item of the inspection MAP, and is visualized in two cases: (1) when the pre-customer MAP considers the corresponding die as fail, the bin item can be visualized as red highlighting by way of example; (2) when the pre-customer MAP considers the corresponding die as fail, the bin item can be visualized as blue highlighting by way of example.
[0060] When the post-inspection MAP considers a certain die as pass, a logical OR operation is performed, and the comparison result is pass regardless of whether the pre-customer MAP considers the corresponding die as fail or pass; more preferably, at this time, the bin item is displayed as the corresponding bin item of the inspection MAP, and: when the pre-customer MAP considers the corresponding die as fail, the bin item can be visualized as blue highlighting by way of example.
[0061] It can be understood that the present application can not only visually display the comparison result, but also can have different visual display modes for different situations in order to effectively distinguish the different MAP charts of the front and rear sections. The reason why the excel file format is preferred as the format of the comparison MAP chart file is that the excel has the following characteristics: the position of each cell can correspond to the coordinates of the MAP chart, the content in the cell can represent the comparison result, and the cell can be highlighted.
[0062] Therefore, further, in another embodiment, after step S300, the method further comprises the following steps:
[0063] S400, in the excel file, the coordinates of the dies of the wafer are established by using the horizontal and vertical coordinates, and the comparison results of each die are filled in the corresponding cells in the excel file according to the coordinates.
[0064] Referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 which illustrates the schematic diagram of the method for visualizing the comparison result by the excel file.
[0065] In summary, the method disclosed by the present application discards the manual comparison method of the prior art, and compared with the prior art, the present application is more convenient and faster and is not prone to errors, and facilitates the wafer test and quality inspection of the operating personnel.
