[0002] In existing semiconductor manufacturing technology, after the preparation of a semiconductor wafer is completed, the chips need to be cut into multiple chips. The cutting process is performed in a cutting street area.

[0003] When sawing a wafer into multiple chips, the area to be scanned must be selected to detect chipping defects along the saw path. Under the machine's scanning lens, chipping along the saw path appears as a black defect. When a black chipping touches the die seal ring, it will be detected as a black defect. Furthermore, if a black test key for wafer acceptance testing is provided on the saw path and is connected to chips on opposite sides of the test key, the test key will also be mistakenly detected as a chipping defect, resulting in the capture of qualified chips.

[0004] The traditional approach is to set a fixed size to filter out test structures to reduce the probability of being mistakenly caught as chipping. However, there are cases where chipping of the same fixed size will be filtered out, resulting in chips with chipping not being caught, reducing the product shipment yield. Summary of the Invention

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

[0050] In order to illustrate the above technical solutions of the present application, specific embodiments are provided below.

[0051] In a chip screening method provided in one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the chip screening method includes the following steps:

[0052] Step S10: Obtaining a scan defect map of the wafer, wherein the scan defect map is obtained by scanning at least one chip on the wafer in a preset scanning mode, and the scan defect map includes pseudo defective chips connected to the test structure;

[0053] Step S20: obtaining a standard image with a single graphical repeating unit;

[0054] Step S30: generating at least one mask image according to the scanned defect image using a preset diagram repeating unit menu program, wherein the mask image corresponds to the diagram repeating unit in a one-to-one manner, and the diagram repeating unit contains at least one chip;

[0055] Step S40 : determining whether the pseudo defective chip is a qualified chip based on the comparison result between the standard image and each mask image.

[0056] In the chip screening method provided in the above embodiment, a scanning defect map of the wafer is obtained, and the scanning defect map is obtained by scanning at least one chip on the wafer in a preset scanning mode. The scanning defect map includes pseudo defective chips connected to the test structure, so that the pseudo defective chips connected to the test structure and the defective chips are captured together; a standard image map with a single graphic repeating unit is obtained; according to the scanning defect map, a preset graphic repeating unit menu program is used to generate at least one mask image map, the mask image map corresponds one-to-one to the graphic repeating unit, and there is at least one chip in the graphic repeating unit; according to the comparison result between the standard image map and each mask image map, it is judged whether the pseudo defective chip is a qualified chip, effectively filtering the cutting path test structure, avoiding defective pseudo defective chips from being mistakenly captured, and greatly improving the product shipment yield.

[0057] In one embodiment, the number of test structures in the standard image is the same as the number of test structures in the mask image, and the positions of the test structures in the standard image are the same as the positions of the test structures in the mask image. During the comparison process, the test structures in the standard image correspond to the test structures in the mask image to prevent false positive chips from being mistakenly detected.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the wafer 10 is divided into a plurality of chips 11 with the dicing street 30 as the boundary, and the test structure 20 is located on the dicing street 30. The width of the test structure 20 is greater than the width of the wafer dicing street 30. Part of the test structure 20 covers the chips 11 on opposite sides of the test structure and is electrically connected to the chips 11 on opposite sides. The chip electrically connected to the test structure 20 is a pseudo defective chip S (such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown).

[0059] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the scanned defect image of the wafer 11 in step S10 is composed of a scanned image of at least one chip 11; the standard image image with a single illustrated repeating unit obtained in step S20 has no defects and has pseudo defective chips connected to the test structure. The number of chips in a single illustrated repeating unit can be single or multiple.

[0060] As an example, Figure 3 A represents a qualified chip. In this application, a qualified chip A is a chip that is not connected to the test structure 20 and does not have a black defect. B represents a defective chip. A defective chip B has a black defect. Figure 3 For example, Figure 3 The black defects in FIG are circular defects, and this application does not limit the shape of the black defects.

[0061] As an example, the black defect may be a chipping defect in the cutting path.

[0062] As an example, the preset scanning method in step S10 is the scanning method of a traditional machine, which can scan the chips sequentially along the horizontal or vertical direction of the wafer, and this application will not go into details.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, in step S20, a standard image diagram having a single graphical repetitive unit is obtained. When the machine initially establishes a recipe, the standard image diagram of a single graphical repetitive unit of the corresponding product wafer provided directly by the customer can be pre-stored in the machine menu.

[0064] It should be noted that the size of the illustrated repeating unit is related to the size of the wafer 10 to ensure that the multiple illustrated repeating units evenly divide the multiple chips in the wafer 10.

[0065] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, in step S30, a preset illustrated repeating unit menu program is used, and the illustrated repeating unit 40 equally divides the multiple chips 11 on the wafer 10, that is, the number of chips 11 in each illustrated repeating unit 40 is the same, and all have a test structure 20 and a pseudo defective chip S connected to the test structure 20, wherein the pseudo defective chip S is located on opposite sides of the test structure 20.

[0066] As an example, the mask image corresponds to the illustrated repeating unit one-to-one, and the number of chips in the mask image is the same as the number of chips in the illustrated repeating unit; multiple illustrated repeating units are defined by a preset illustrated repeating unit menu program, and multiple mask images are generated by scanning the wafer 10.

[0067] As an example, the number of chips in the standard image is the same as the number of chips in the mask image. Figure 4 For example, the chips in each repeating unit 40 are arranged in 2 rows and 3 columns with equal spacing, and the number is 6. This application does not limit this. Multiple repeating units 40 shown in the figure divide all the chips 11 on the wafer 11 into equal parts.

[0068] As an example, the preset graphical repetitive unit menu program may be a menu program pre-established by an engineer at the machine operation terminal according to customer requirements.

[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 Adjacent repeating units 40 evenly divide the test structure 20 located on the cutting path 30, and the areas of the test structures 20 in adjacent repeating units 40 are the same, so as to ensure that the structure in each repeating unit 40 is the same, ensure the accuracy of the comparison results between the standard image and multiple mask images, and improve the product shipment yield.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 As shown, step S40: judging whether the pseudo defective chip is a qualified chip based on the comparison result of the standard image and the plurality of mask images, includes the following steps:

[0071] Step S41: determining whether the standard image is identical to each mask image;

[0072] Step S42: If they are the same, the pseudo defective chip in the illustrated repeating unit and the remaining chips except the pseudo defective chip are determined as qualified chips;

[0073] Step S43: Otherwise, it is determined that there are defects in the repeating unit shown in the figure, and the chip with defects is determined as a bad chip, such as Figure 6 shown.

[0074] In the above embodiment, it is determined whether the standard image is identical to a plurality of mask image images corresponding one to one with the illustrated repeating units. If the two images are identical, the pseudo-bad chips in the illustrated repeating units are determined to be qualified chips, and at this time, there are no defects on the pseudo-bad chips. If the two images are different, it is determined that the chips other than the pseudo-bad chips have black defects, and such chips with black defects are bad chips. While automatically filtering the test structure, the chips with defects in the illustrated repeating units are accurately determined, thereby improving the wafer shipment yield.

[0075] In one embodiment, Figure 6 A represents a qualified chip, and B represents a defective bad chip; wherein the bad chip B may include a pseudo bad chip S with defects.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, the chip screening method further comprises the following steps:

[0077] Step S50: Obtain a wafer coding map, where the wafer coding map includes the codes of each qualified chip and the codes of each defective chip.

[0078] Specifically, because a single pair of wafers uses a preset graphical repetitive unit menu program, it is impossible to obtain a wafer coding map. In order to obtain a high-yield wafer with qualified chip A, this application combines a preset scanning method to obtain a scanning defect map and a preset graphical repetitive unit menu program. The qualified chip A and the defective chip determined by the above-mentioned chip screening method are encoded to obtain a wafer coding map (not shown in the figure), which satisfies the requirement of providing a wafer coding map to customers when the wafers are shipped. At the same time, it can effectively filter the test structure, avoid misgrabbing, and improve the product shipment yield.

[0079] As an example, it can be binary encoding or decimal encoding. This application does not limit the counting method of the encoding.

[0080] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 As shown, a chip screening system 100 is also provided, including a scanning defect image acquisition module 101 , a standard image image acquisition module 102 , a mask image generation module 103 and a comparison module 104 .

[0082] In the chip screening system provided in the above embodiment, a scanning defect map acquisition module, a standard image map acquisition module, a mask image map generation module and a comparison module are set, wherein the scanning defect map acquisition module is used to acquire a scanning defect map of the wafer, and the scanning defect map is acquired by scanning at least one chip on the wafer in a preset scanning mode, and the scanning defect map includes pseudo defective chips connected to the test structure, so as to capture the pseudo defective chips connected to the test structure and the chips with defects together; the standard image map acquisition module is used to acquire a standard image map with a single graphic repetition unit; the mask image map generation module is used to generate at least one mask image map according to the scanning defect map using a preset graphic repetition unit menu program, and the mask image map corresponds one-to-one to the graphic repetition unit; there is at least one chip in the graphic repetition unit; based on the comparison result between the standard image map and each mask image map, it is judged whether the pseudo defective chip is a qualified chip, effectively filtering the cutting road test structure, avoiding the false defective chips without defects from being mistakenly captured, and greatly improving the product shipment yield.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present application, the comparison module 104 includes a judgment unit, a qualified chip determination unit, and a defective chip determination unit.

[0084] Specifically, the judgment unit is used to judge whether the standard image image is the same as each mask image image; the qualified chip determination unit is used to determine that the pseudo defective chips in the illustrated repetitive unit and the remaining chips except the pseudo defective chips are qualified chips when the standard image image is the same as each mask image image; the defective chip determination unit is used to determine that there are defects in the illustrated repetitive unit when the standard image image is different from each mask image image, and determine the chips with defects as defective chips.
