Description

Technical Field:

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of chip technology, and particularly to a novel wafer defect detection device. Background Art:

[0002] During the production and manufacturing process of wafers, scratches often occur on the surface, and there will be surface stains during the production process. For wafers with such surface scratches or surface stains, when they are subsequently sliced into chips, the chips at the scratched or stained areas generally have poor quality. To avoid such adverse phenomena, wafers need to be detected before slicing to remove defective wafers or mark the defective areas of the wafers. When slicing, the wafers at the marked areas are removed to avoid poor quality of the sliced chips. Currently, the detection of wafer scratches or stains generally uses manual recognition, which is inefficient and prone to missed detection. At the same time, when marking the wafers and putting them into the wafer box before the ink has dried, it will cause secondary contamination of the wafers. Drying the marking ink will also cause time waiting and affect production efficiency.
