[0003] However, in traditional wafer chip testing solutions, the design and application of MAP diagrams have obvious limitations. They are often only compatible with chips of one size and model for testing. When there are chips of multiple sizes on the wafer, it is necessary to establish MAP diagrams for each size of chip separately.

[0021] To this end, the present invention provides a chip testing method, which realizes high automation and precision of wafer detection and positioning by combining visual recognition technology and precision calculation, and can effectively solve the problems that the prior art is not compatible with multi-size chips, has low automation, and has low production efficiency and accuracy. The chip testing method is suitable for a chip testing device, which can be an electronic device. A chip testing method in an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a variety of scenarios, such as chip testing, etc.
[0022] See also Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a chip testing method, which is applicable to electronic equipment.
[0023] In the following method embodiments, for ease of description, the execution subject of each step of the method is taken as an electronic device as an example for illustration, but this does not constitute a specific limitation.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps: Step 110, establish a foolproof detection mechanism, use the horizontal movement of the camera device and the foolproof detection mechanism to horizontally scan the wafer to obtain a horizontal wafer.
[0025] In one possible implementation, a wafer is loaded directly under a camera device via a carrier platform, the position of the chip is automatically acquired by the camera device, the horizontal angle of the wafer is adjusted using two-point continuous positioning and slope angle calculation, and the anti-foolproof detection mechanism is used for verification. If the verification passes, a horizontal wafer is obtained.
[0026] In one possible implementation, the slope angle calculation formula is: ; Among them, the difference in the vertical coordinates refers to the difference between the vertical coordinate of the chip during the movement and the initial vertical coordinate, and the difference in the horizontal coordinates refers to the difference between the horizontal coordinate of the chip during the movement and the initial horizontal coordinate. The anti-foolproof detection mechanism is that if the slope angle is less than or equal to the set angle, the horizontal scan is successful, and if the slope angle is greater than the set angle, the horizontal scan is performed again.
[0027] Step 130, obtaining the center position and diameter of the wafer according to the characteristic point positions of the wafer, the distance calculation formula and the visual recognition function of the camera.
[0028] In one possible implementation, a two-dimensional coordinate system is constructed with the characteristic point of the wafer as the origin. The positions of the three edge points of the wafer are obtained through the distance calculation formula and the visual recognition function of the camera. The center position and diameter of the wafer are calculated based on the principle that three points form a circle and the positions of the three edge points. The accuracy of the position is checked based on the size and diameter of the wafer. If the position is inaccurate, the center position is recalculated.
[0029] Step 150, obtaining a map of the wafer according to the size of each chip in the wafer and the size of the cutting path, the distance between the chips, and the center position and feature point position of the wafer.
[0030] In a possible implementation, the specific calculation formula is as follows: ; ; Among them, X represents the horizontal coordinate of each chip, and Y represents the vertical coordinate of each chip. Represents the horizontal coordinate of the feature point, Represents the ordinate of the feature point, Indicates the horizontal length of the cutting path, Indicates the longitudinal length of the cutting path, represents the lateral length of the chip, Indicates the vertical length of the chip.
[0031] In a possible implementation, the position coordinates of each chip are obtained by adding the horizontal coordinate of each chip in the wafer to the horizontal distance between the chips, and adding the vertical coordinate of each chip to the vertical distance between the chips.
[0032] Among them, the Map contains the location coordinates of each chip in the wafer.
[0033] Step 170, obtaining the needle tip offset angle through a camera, rotating the wafer according to the needle tip offset angle, updating the map according to the needle tip offset angle, and performing chip testing according to the map.
[0034] In a possible implementation, the wafer is horizontally scanned and straightened, and the wafer is rotated by the needle tip offset angle through the machine rotation mechanism. The formula for updating the map according to the needle tip offset angle is as follows: ; ; in, Indicates the needle tip deviation angle.
[0035] Through the above process, the embodiment of the present invention first establishes an anti-fool detection mechanism, uses the horizontal movement of the camera equipment and the anti-fool detection mechanism to horizontally scan the wafer to obtain a horizontal wafer, obtains the center position and diameter of the wafer according to the characteristic point position of the wafer, the distance calculation formula and the visual recognition function of the camera, obtains the Map of the wafer according to the size of each chip in the wafer and the cutting path size, the distance between the chips, and the center position and characteristic point position of the wafer, obtains the needle tip offset angle through the camera, rotates the wafer according to the needle tip offset angle, and updates the Map according to the needle tip offset angle, based on the wafer. By combining visual recognition technology with precise calculations to test chips according to the map, a high degree of automation and precision in wafer detection and positioning is achieved. The ability to automatically generate wafer maps and be compatible with chips of multiple sizes greatly simplifies the tedious process of traditional manual mapping and improves the accuracy and timeliness of data processing. The wafer can be precisely rotated and adjusted according to the needle tip offset angle and the map can be dynamically updated, effectively avoiding test errors caused by position deviations and ensuring accurate alignment of chip tests, thereby effectively solving the problems of existing technologies being incompatible with chips of multiple sizes, having a low degree of automation, and having low production efficiency and accuracy.
[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides a chip testing method for performing chip testing.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the following steps may be specifically included: Step S001, the wafer is scanned horizontally.
[0038] Specifically, the wafer is loaded onto a wafer stage directly below the camera, and then the camera automatically obtains the position of the chip to perform wafer scanning, using two points and continuous positioning directions to achieve automatic horizontal scanning of the wafer.
[0039] In one possible implementation, the leftmost chip on the wafer is used as the first reference point, and the wafer is continuously moved to the right and then to the left. During the movement, the slope angle is calculated using a formula, and the level of the wafer is adjusted through multiple verification calculations until the wafer reaches a horizontal scanning straight state.
[0040] Furthermore, the chip position is obtained by moving back and forth multiple times, and the formula is applied again to calculate the accuracy of its rotation angle multiple times to ensure the accuracy of the wafer level, and an anti-fool detection mechanism is established to ensure the accuracy and precision of the wafer horizontal scanning.
[0041] Specifically, the fool-proof detection mechanism verification is that when the angle obtained by the calculation formula is less than 0.0001°, the wafer is successfully scanned horizontally. When the angle obtained by the calculation formula is greater than 0.0001°, the secondary verification mechanism is enabled and adjustments are made again. After the adjustment is completed, the formula is applied to verify whether the slope angle meets the requirements.
[0042] Among them, the angle 0.0001° is an open window, which can be input and defined according to requirements.
[0043] Step S002, forming the center of the wafer and the position of the characteristic points.
[0044] Specifically, the wafer has a special feature point (this feature point can be located anywhere on the wafer), which is mainly used for positioning in the yellow light development and other processes in the front-end process. In this step, the position of this feature point is used to construct a corresponding map of the center position of the wafer and the distribution position of each chip on the wafer.
[0045] This feature point can be defined as being located at any position on the wafer, and a two-dimensional coordinate system is constructed on this feature point. On this basis, the feature point position can be calculated through relevant formulas and the visual recognition function of the camera to obtain the edge position of the wafer corresponding to this feature point. Then, the actual center position of the wafer can be obtained based on the principle of three points forming a circle.
[0046] Step S003, calculating the chip size map positions of all wafers.
[0047] Specifically, the correct chip position can be directly calculated by combining the wafer size, chip size specifications on the wafer and chip cutting path size, and the center position and feature point position of step S002. The actual position map coordinate information position of all chips can be obtained in turn through the calculation formula.
[0048] Furthermore, based on the position of the feature points on the wafer, the size of each wafer chip is calculated, and a map is generated that shows the position of each chip on the wafer.
[0049] Step S004, generating a Map of multi-size wafers / single-size wafers.
[0050] Specifically, in a single-size wafer, the positions of all chips can be directly calculated through the formula. In the case of multi-size wafers, the actual position is calculated based on the chip parameters of the first size first, and then the Map coordinate information position of the multi-size wafer is calculated based on the distance between its different sizes.
[0051] Step S005, identifying the angle of the probe holder tip and the angle of the needle holder tip.
[0052] Specifically, during the multi-site pin card test, the pin card tip angle detection is first performed, mainly by obtaining the pin tip position angle through a camera. After the pin card offset angle is obtained, the wafer is rotated through the machine chuck plate rotation mechanism to adjust the pin card offset angle.
[0053] Furthermore, since there will be a certain deviation in the position of the chip after rotation, it is necessary to recalculate the chip map position to obtain the actual chip testing position during multi-site needle card testing.
[0054] Step S006: forming a wafer map.
[0055] Specifically, the wafer Map is calculated using the unique feature point position of the wafer, and this feature point is used as the origin position of the wafer to calculate the chip position in four directions. Based on the two-dimensional coordinate system, the actual position of each chip can be obtained, and finally the Map calculation of the entire wafer chip and the actual chip measurement position calculation after increasing the rotation angle of the needle card tip are completed, thereby obtaining the Map position of the wafer chip.
[0056] Through the above process, the embodiment of the present invention significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of wafer testing, and is compatible with Map testing of chips of multiple sizes. Through the algorithm formula, chips of all sizes are successfully integrated into the same Map map, thereby greatly shortening the time for Map establishment, improving the operation rate and production capacity, and reducing the abnormality rate when manually establishing the Map. The algorithm formula is used to realize automatic generation of the Map diagram, which corresponds one-to-one with the wafer chip, greatly reducing the risk of manual intervention. In the process of automatic generation of the Map diagram by the algorithm, the angle difference of the needle tip of the needle card can be detected in advance, and this difference can be synchronously implanted into the Map diagram. During the test, the system can automatically adjust the needle tip piercing position according to the position information in the Map, ensuring the high consistency of the test piercing needle marks, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the test.
[0057] In another exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides a chip testing method for performing chip testing.
[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, the camera first automatically obtains the position of the chip to perform wafer scanning. Two points and continuous positioning are used to achieve automatic horizontal scanning of the wafer. During the movement, the formula is used: ; The slope angle is calculated and the wafer level is adjusted through multiple verification calculations, and a foolproof detection mechanism is established to ensure the accuracy and precision of wafer straightening. The foolproof detection mechanism verification is as follows: Verification formula: ; When the angle obtained by the calculation formula is less than 0.0001°, it means that the wafer has been successfully scanned horizontally. When the angle obtained by the calculation formula is greater than 0.0001°, the secondary verification mechanism is activated at this time, and the horizontal angle is fine-tuned again. After the adjustment is completed, the formula is applied to verify whether the slope angle meets the requirements.
[0059] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, each wafer has a special feature point. This feature point position is used to construct the corresponding map of the center position of the wafer and the distribution position of each chip on the wafer. The feature point can be defined as , and this feature point can be located at any position on the wafer, and a two-dimensional coordinate system is constructed on this feature point. On this basis, the feature point position can be calculated through relevant formulas and the visual recognition function of the camera to obtain the edge position of the wafer corresponding to this feature point. Then, the actual center position of this wafer can be obtained based on the principle of three points forming a circle. .
[0060] Horizontal distance: ; Vertical distance: ; The above formula can be used to calculate the positions of the three edge points of the wafer, and then the center position of the wafer and the position of the feature point corresponding to the center of the circle can be directly calculated based on the principle that three points form a circle, thereby completing the calculation of the center position and feature point position of the Map.
[0061] At the feature point Position, respectively to the left , right direction and upward direction , set three edge positions and feature point positions Must be in The coordinates of the center of the circle can be derived from the formula of three points forming a circle. And the diameter of the circle d, and then according to the size specifications of the wafer, for example: the diameter of an 8-inch wafer is =200mm, the test method to check whether the wafer diameter derived by the formula corresponds to the actual wafer diameter is as follows: The distance between the center of the circle and the right point is: The diameter of this circle is ,when or When the center position is not accurate, the center position is derived again by the formula. The center position of this circle is accurate.
[0062] Furthermore, the chip size X: , chip size Y: . Chip cutting path size X: , chip cutting path size Y: .
[0063] Horizontal calculation formula: ; Vertical calculation formula: ; And through this calculation formula, the actual location map coordinate information of all chips can be calculated in turn. Compared with the existing technology, the manual map creation step is eliminated, which improves work efficiency and accuracy.
[0064] Furthermore, in a single-size wafer, the above formula can be used to directly calculate the location of all chips. For multi-size wafers, the actual location of the chip is calculated based on the first-size chip parameter, and then the distance between different sizes is calculated. , , the coordinates of chips of all sizes are obtained, and the calculation formula is as follows: Horizontal calculation formula: ; Vertical calculation formula: ; Thus, the map coordinate information position of wafers of multiple sizes can be calculated. Compared with the existing technology, the existing technology is only compatible with chip sizes of a single size, while this solution is compatible with chip sizes of multiple sizes and has high compatibility.
[0065] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, during the multi-site pin card test, the pin card tip angle detection is first performed, mainly by obtaining the pin tip position through the camera to obtain the pin card offset angle. After that, the wafer is rotated and offset by the Chuck plate rotation mechanism. , and the wafer is first horizontally scanned and straightened before rotation, and then the wafer is rotated .
[0066] Furthermore, since there will be a certain deviation in the position of the chip after rotation, it is necessary to recalculate the chip map position. The actual position of the chip after the needle tip angle is rotated is calculated mainly through the following formula: Angle calculation formula θ: ; The calculation formula of chip X-direction deviation distance after rotation angle: ; The calculation formula of chip X-direction deviation distance after rotation angle: ; Finally, the actual chip test position during multi-site pin card testing is obtained according to the following formula: X direction: ; Y direction: ; Compared with the existing technology, this solution can automatically adjust the angle position of the needle card and automatically calculate the Map coordinates of the actual needle insertion position of each chip, thereby reducing the manual difference when manually adjusting the angle position of the needle card and improving the automation level of the machine.
[0067] Furthermore, the wafer map is estimated using the unique feature point position of the wafer, and the feature point is used as the origin position of the wafer to estimate the chip position in four directions.
[0068] Based on the two-dimensional coordinate system, the calculation method is as follows: X positive direction is: ..... ; X positive direction is: ..... ; X negative direction is: ..... ; X negative direction is: ..... .
[0069] The negative direction is when moving in the opposite direction of the origin, it can be a negative value, and the actual position can be a positive value. n represents the number of the chip, from which the actual position of each chip can be obtained as follows: ( , ) Finally, the Map calculation of the entire wafer chip and the actual chip piercing position calculation after increasing the rotation angle of the needle card tip are completed, thereby obtaining the Map position of the wafer chip.
[0070] Through the above process, the embodiment of the present invention utilizes the camera equipment to scan the wafer horizontally, which not only greatly improves the detection coverage and efficiency, but also ensures the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the wafer image data acquisition. Through the application of the characteristic point position and distance calculation formula, the center position and diameter of the wafer can be accurately determined, laying a solid foundation for subsequent operations. According to the size of each chip and cutting path on the wafer and the distance between them, the wafer Map is automatically generated in combination with the center and characteristic point position information, which greatly simplifies the cumbersome process of traditional manual mapping and improves the accuracy and timeliness of data processing. In addition, the needle tip offset angle is captured in real time by the camera, and the wafer is accurately rotated and adjusted and the Map is dynamically updated accordingly, which effectively avoids the test error caused by position deviation, ensures the accurate alignment of the chip test, not only optimizes the test process, but also significantly improves the reliability and yield of the wafer test.

The chip test is carried out by combining visual recognition technology with precise calculation to achieve high automation and precision in wafer detection and positioning. It can automatically generate wafer Map and is compatible with multi-size chips, which greatly simplifies the tedious process of traditional manual mapping and improves the accuracy and timeliness of data processing. It can accurately rotate and adjust the wafer according to the needle tip offset angle and dynamically update the Map, effectively avoiding test errors caused by position deviation and ensuring accurate alignment of chip testing, thereby effectively solving the problems of existing technology incompatibility with multi-size chips, low degree of automation, low production efficiency and accuracy.
[0102] 2. The present invention is compatible with multi-size chip Map testing: all sizes of chips are generated in the same Map through an algorithm formula, which greatly reduces the time for Map establishment, improves the operation rate and production capacity, and reduces the abnormality rate when manually establishing the Map.
[0103] 3. The present invention has a high degree of automation: it can realize automatic generation of Map diagrams according to relevant algorithm formulas, which correspond one-to-one with the chips on the wafer, reducing the risk of manual intervention and improving the automation level of the test; the needle mark detection accuracy is high: when the Map diagram is automatically generated, the angle difference of the needle card needle tip is pre-detected, and the generated angle difference is synchronously implanted into the Map diagram, thereby ensuring a high consistency of the needle tip piercing position during the test and improving the accuracy of the test.
[0104] 4. The present invention can improve test efficiency: there is no need to re-establish a map for chips of different sizes, saving time and labor costs and improving overall test efficiency; reduce test errors: the high degree of automation and high precision of needle mark detection together reduce test errors caused by manual operation and improve test reliability; support multi-SITE testing: it includes a needle tip angle detection and adjustment mechanism for multi-SITE needle card testing, ensuring accuracy during multi-SITE testing.
