Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of wafer testing, and in particular relates to a method for adding a SITE MAP map. Background Art

[0002] The main purpose of wafer testing is to not package the bad chips that have been tested, so as to reduce the packaging cost. In the field of wafer testing, the probe card is the medium between the wafer and the tester. The probe card is usually placed directly on the probe station prober and connected to the tester with wiring. The purpose of the probe card is to provide a connection between the chip and the tester and complete the wafer test. The probe card is a custom connector using a universal mode, and it is usually necessary to provide targeted probe cards for different types of wafers.

[0003] Figure 1 It is a working diagram of the wafer testing link in the prior art. During wafer testing, the SITE information of probe cards of different models is different, and the yield between different SITEs is also different. In the prior art, the operator exports the actual test diagram from the MES system and generates a first excel file, and converts a text format file of the SITE information into a second excel file through the probe station prober. Then, by operating the two excel files, the diagrams of the two sheets are counted and manually checked. This means that when counting a batch of data, you must first export the actual test diagram from the MES system, and then open the SITE MAP diagram and manually compare it, which is time-consuming and prone to errors. The root cause is that, taking the prober as an example, the file generated by the TEL type prober does not have SITE MAP information, and can only be counted manually.

[0004] Therefore, this field is in urgent need of a technical solution to improve the work efficiency of personnel and to avoid operators from misreading data as much as possible. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for adding a SITE MAP, the method comprising the following steps:

[0006] S100, import SITE MAP file;

[0007] S200, import the probe file;

[0008] S300, comparing the imported SITE MAP file and the probe file, and generating a new standard MAP file after the comparison.

[0009] Preferably,

[0010] In step S300, the principle of comparison is to prevent die missing and misalignment.

[0011] Preferably,

[0012] In step S300, the dies are compared according to a one-to-one correspondence.

[0013] Preferably,

[0014] In step S300, after comparison, the information in the probe file is merged with the information in the SITE MAP file to generate a new standard MAP file.

[0015] Preferably,

[0016] In step S100, the SITE MAP map file is in a txt text file format.

[0017] Preferably,

[0018] In step S200, the probe file is in a dat file format.

[0019] Preferably, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0020] S400. Add a new MAP to the MES system based on the new standard MAP file.

[0021] Preferably, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0022] S500. Set a SiteYieldGap checkpoint in the MES system, where the SiteYieldGap checkpoint is determined based on the number of passes per site / the number of test dies per site.

[0023] The present invention has the following technical effects:

[0024] Through the above scheme, the present invention abandons the manual file comparison method in the prior art. Compared with the prior art, the present invention is faster, more convenient, less prone to errors, and convenient for operators to quickly and accurately perform statistics.

[0039] S200, import probe file;

[0040] S300, comparing the imported SITE MAP file and the probe file, and generating a new standard MAP file after the comparison.

[0041] For this embodiment, taking probe as an example, the file generated by TEL type probe does not have SITE MAP information, and can only be counted manually. However, the inventor innovatively combines the SITE MAP file with the probe file, and generates a new standard MAP file by comparing the two, thereby making full use of data processing technology to improve the problems caused by manual statistics in the field.

[0056] Preferably,

[0057] After each wafer is tested, a new standard MAP is obtained based on its SITE MAP file and probe file and added to the actual test map in the MES system. Then, the BIN and SITE are further screened and tested in MES to count the sitegap of each wafer and export the site test report.

[0058] That is to say, the present invention can facilitate operators to count site gaps.
