[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a method for positioning a wafer inspection device is provided, including the following steps:

[0049] Step S210: Identify the position of the wafer under test in the image coordinate system.

[0050] When loading wafers, any wafer can be used as the wafer to be tested.

[0051] When identifying the location of a wafer under test, the imaging device first needs to capture images of the wafer's feature points from multiple locations to obtain an image of the wafer. Then, based on this image, an image coordinate system is established. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the upper left corner of the image of the wafer under test can be taken as the origin of the image coordinate system, the horizontal direction of the image can be taken as the X-axis of the image coordinate system, and the vertical direction of the image can be taken as the Y-axis of the image coordinate system. The positive direction of the X-axis can be the direction from the origin of the image from left to right, and the positive direction of the Y-axis can be the direction from the origin of the image from top to bottom.

[0052] The position of the wafer under test is obtained based on the image coordinate system. Specifically, the position of the wafer under test can be represented by the coordinates of the wafer under test in the image coordinate system.

[0053] Step S220: Obtain the standard position of the standard wafer in the image coordinate system.

[0054] A standard wafer can be a wafer that meets product requirements. By comparing the wafer under test with a standard wafer, defects can be detected in the wafer under test.

[0055] The standard wafer can be pre-imaged from multiple points using an imaging device to obtain the standard position of the standard wafer in the image coordinate system.

[0056] Specifically, the standard position of a standard wafer can be represented by the coordinates of the standard wafer in the image coordinate system.

[0057] Step S230: Based on the standard position of the standard wafer and the position of the wafer under test in the image coordinate system, obtain the first position deviation of the wafer under test.

[0058] Specifically, the first positional deviation between the wafer under test and the standard wafer can be calculated based on the coordinates of the standard wafer in the image coordinate system and the coordinates of the wafer under test.

[0059] Step S240: Based on the first position deviation and the transformation relationship between the grating ruler coordinate system and the image coordinate system, the coordinates of the shooting point of the wafer under test are compensated.

[0060] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the left side of the feed port of the front-end semiconductor equipment (EFEM) can be used as the origin of the grating ruler coordinate system. The X-axis of the grating ruler coordinate system is set parallel to the feed port of the EFEM, with the direction from the origin to the wafer under test as the positive direction of the X-axis. The Y-axis of the grating ruler coordinate system is perpendicular to the X-axis, with the direction from the origin to the wafer under test as the positive direction of the Y-axis. A fixed transformation relationship between the grating ruler coordinate system and the image coordinate system is obtained in the early stage. Based on this transformation relationship and the first position deviation, the imaging point of the wafer under test is compensated, so that the imaging device is matched to the wafer under test.

[0061] Specifically, the X coordinate system of the grating ruler O Y O With the image coordinate system X I Y I The transformation relation can be expressed as follows:

[0062] X O =-K X X I +deltaX OI

[0063] Y O =-K Y Y I +deltaY OI

[0064] In the formula, K X K is the transformation coefficient of the X-axis between the image coordinate system and the grating ruler coordinate system. Y deltaX is the transformation coefficient between the image coordinate system and the grating ruler coordinate system for the Y-axis coordinate. OI DeltaY is the deviation of the X-axis between the image coordinate system and the grating ruler coordinate system. OI It is the deviation of the Y-axis between the image coordinate system and the grating ruler coordinate system.

[0065] Select two coordinate points and obtain their coordinates in the image coordinate system and the raster ruler coordinate system, respectively; that is, obtain (X... O1 Y O1 ), (X I1 Y I1 ), (X O2 Y O2 ) and (X I2 Y I2 By substituting the four coordinates into the transformation expression between the grating ruler coordinate system and the image coordinate system, K can be solved. X K Y deltaX OI and deltaY OI .

[0066] In the above-mentioned wafer inspection equipment positioning method, by obtaining the first positional deviation between the wafer under test and the standard wafer in the image coordinate system, and the transformation relationship between the grating ruler coordinate system and the image coordinate system, the compensation of the shooting point of the wafer inspection equipment is completed. There is no need to adjust the position of the wafer, which reduces the wafer inspection positioning time and improves the efficiency of the wafer inspection equipment.

[0067] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, step S240 includes:

[0068] Step S241: Based on the transformation relationship between the grating ruler coordinate system and the image coordinate system, the first position deviation in the image coordinate system is converted into the second position deviation in the grating ruler coordinate system.

[0069] By obtaining the position of the wafer under test and the standard position of the standard wafer, the first position deviation (deltax, deltay) is obtained. Based on the fixed transformation relationship between the grating ruler coordinate system and the image coordinate system, the first position deviation obtained in the image coordinate system can be converted into the second position deviation (DeltaX, DeltaY) in the grating ruler coordinate system.

[0070] Specifically, the second positional deviation can be expressed as the following relationship:

[0071] DeltaX = -K X *deltax

[0072] DeltaY = -K Y *deltay

[0073] In the formula, K X K is the transformation coefficient of the X-axis between the image coordinate system and the grating ruler coordinate system. Y It is the transformation coefficient of the Y-axis coordinate between the image coordinate system and the grating ruler coordinate system.

[0074] Step S242: Compensate the second position deviation to the coordinates of the shooting point.

[0075] First, the coordinates of the shooting points in the grating ruler coordinate system need to be obtained. Specifically, the coordinates of multiple shooting points, CapPstd, can be obtained, denoted as {P0, P1, P2...PN}. Then, the second positional deviation is compensated for to the coordinates of the shooting points. Specifically, the actual coordinates of the shooting points after compensation, CapP, can be represented as {(P...] ...[......[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[...[... X0 +DeltaX, P Y0 +DeltaY), (P X1 +DeltaX, P Y1 +DeltaY), ..., (P XN +DeltaX, P YN +DeltaY)}, which means adding a second position deviation to the original coordinates.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first positional deviation in the image coordinate system is transformed into the grating ruler coordinate system to become the second positional deviation, which is then used to directly compensate for the coordinates of the shooting point. Obtaining the second positional deviation allows for more direct compensation of the shooting point's coordinates.

[0077] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the steps preceding step S210 include:

[0078] Step S110: Identify the angle of the wafer to be tested.

[0079] When identifying the angle of a wafer under test, the imaging device first needs to capture images of the wafer's feature points from multiple locations to obtain an image of the wafer. Then, the angle of the wafer under test is obtained based on the image.

[0080] Step S120: Obtain the standard angle of the standard wafer.

[0081] The standard wafer can be pre-imaged from multiple points using an imaging device to obtain the standard position and standard angle of the standard wafer in the image coordinate system.

[0082] Step S130: Obtain the angle deviation of the wafer under test based on the standard angle of the standard wafer and the angle of the wafer under test.

[0083] The standard angle Tstd of the standard wafer can be compared with the angle T0 of the wafer under test to obtain the angle deviation deltaT0 of the wafer under test.

[0084] Step S140: Adjust the angle of the wafer to be tested according to the angle deviation.

[0085] Adjust the angle of the wafer under test based on the obtained angle deviation deltaT1.

[0086] In this embodiment, by obtaining the angular deviation between the wafer under test and the standard wafer, the angle of the wafer under test is adjusted, which helps to make the angle of the wafer under test consistent with that of the standard wafer.

[0087] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, after step S140, the following steps are included:

[0088] Step S150: Obtain the angle deviation of the wafer under test again.

[0089] First, an imaging device is needed to capture the feature points of the wafer under test from multiple points again, and then the angle of the wafer under test is obtained again. This angle is then compared with the standard angle Tstd of the standard wafer to obtain the angle deviation deltaT1.

[0090] Step S160: When the angle deviation of the wafer under test is less than the preset angle threshold, the coordinates of the shooting point of the wafer under test are compensated according to the first position deviation and the transformation relationship between the grating ruler coordinate system and the image coordinate system.

[0091] When the angle deviation deltaT1 of the wafer under test is less than the preset angle threshold ThrT, the angle adjustment of the wafer under test is completed, and the position adjustment of the wafer under test can be carried out. Based on the first position deviation and the transformation relationship between the grating ruler coordinate system and the image coordinate system, the shooting point coordinates of the wafer under test can be compensated, and the position adjustment of the wafer under test can be completed.

[0092] As an example, the preset angle threshold ThrT is no greater than 0.0003 degrees.

[0093] In this embodiment, after the first angle adjustment, the angle deviation between the angle of the wafer under test and the standard angle of the standard wafer is obtained again. It is then determined whether the angle deviation obtained again is less than a preset angle threshold. If it is less than the angle threshold, the coordinates of the shooting point of the wafer under test can be compensated.

[0094] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, after step S160, the following steps are included:

[0095] Step S170: When the angle deviation of the wafer under test is not less than the preset angle threshold, the angle of the wafer under test is adjusted again according to the angle deviation of the wafer under test obtained again.

[0096] When the angle deviation of the wafer under test is not less than the preset angle threshold, the angle adjustment of the wafer under test is not complete, and the angle of the wafer under test needs to be adjusted again according to the current angle deviation. Then, the wafer under test is photographed from multiple points to obtain the angle and position of the wafer under test. The angle of the wafer under test obtained this time is compared with the standard angle of the standard wafer to obtain the angle deviation of the wafer under test after the second adjustment. When this angle deviation is less than the preset angle threshold ThrT, compensation is performed on the coordinates of the shooting points.

[0097] In this embodiment, after the first angle adjustment, the angle deviation between the angle of the wafer under test and the standard angle of the standard wafer is obtained again. It is determined whether the angle deviation obtained again is less than a preset angle threshold. If it is not less than the angle threshold, the angle adjustment of the wafer under test needs to be repeated until the angle deviation is less than the angle threshold, so that the angle of the wafer under test is consistent with that of the standard wafer, thereby enabling accurate defect detection of the wafer under test.

[0098] It should be understood that, although Figures 1-3 The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order in which these steps are executed, and they can be performed in other orders. Figures 1-3 At least some of the steps in the process may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but may be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but may be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages in other steps.

[0100] The imaging device is used to acquire images of the wafer under test and a standard wafer. The control module is used to identify the position of the wafer under test in the image coordinate system, obtain the standard position of the standard wafer in the image coordinate system, obtain the first position deviation of the wafer under test based on the standard position of the standard wafer in the image coordinate system and the position of the wafer under test, and compensate for the imaging point coordinates of the wafer under test based on the first position deviation and the transformation relationship between the grating ruler coordinate system and the image coordinate system.
