[0046] The following specific implementation manner will further illustrate the present invention in conjunction with the above-mentioned drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. Several embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0048] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0049] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0050] See also Figure 1 , which is a flow chart of the LED chip test management method in the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps:

[0051] Step S100, MAP full test is performed on each chip on the wafer to obtain the test photoelectric data of each chip. Specifically, in this step, the data of the above-mentioned MAP full test will deviate due to the wear difference between the probes and the different light receiving positions of the grain distance. That is, the above-mentioned MAP full test refers to the high-efficiency batch chip data detection with lower detection accuracy through the method of multi-crystal parallel testing.

[0052] In some applications of this embodiment, multi-crystal parallel testing is based on 8 groups of probes arranged longitudinally, moving along the X-axis direction until 8 horizontal columns of channel testing are completed, and then moving toward the Y-axis direction to continue to complete 8 horizontal columns of channel testing until all channels are tested.

[0053] Step S200, selecting some chips in the middle of the wafer for APC sampling to obtain a plurality of first sampling calibration data, wherein the test photoelectric data includes first data corresponding to the coordinates of the first sampling calibration data.

[0054] The above-mentioned APC sampling refers to the data detection of the chip with higher precision through the spot test machine. The above-mentioned first sampling calibration data is used to pull back and correct the deviation of the above-mentioned test photoelectric data, thereby reducing the impact of the overall data deviation caused by probe wear or alignment problems during multi-crystalline parallel measurement.

[0055] Preferably, in this embodiment, the step of selecting some chips in the middle of the wafer for APC sampling specifically includes:

[0056] Align the wafer with the APC test machine, and select chips in a row of the wafer center coordinate points for APC sampling testing.

[0057] Step S300, based on the deviation value between the first sample calibration data and the first data, a first correction coefficient is calculated to correct the test photoelectric data based on the first correction coefficient to obtain corrected data. Preferably, in this embodiment, the calculation formula of the first correction coefficient is as follows:

[0058] p = m / n;

[0059] Wherein, p is the first correction coefficient, m is the mean of each of the first sampling calibration data, and n is the mean of each of the first data. When the mean of the first sampling calibration data is high, it means that the sampling value of the test photoelectric data is low, and the value of the first correction data is greater than 1; when the mean of the first sampling calibration data is low, it means that the sampling value of the test photoelectric data is high, and the value of the first correction data is less than 1.

[0060] The first sampling calibration data and the test photoelectric data include: working voltage VF data, brightness IV data and wavelength WLD data. It can be understood that the correction coefficients in the above text and the data comparison below all need to be corrected and compared with the working voltage VF data, brightness IV data and wavelength WLD data in sequence.

[0061] The expression of the above correction data is:

[0062] K = k*p;

[0063] Where K is the correction data and k is the test photoelectric data.

[0064] Step S400, comparing the correction data corresponding to each chip in the wafer with a standard value to determine whether the wafer is abnormal.

[0065] Specifically, in this embodiment, the data after wafer correction needs to meet the following rules:

[0066] Working voltage VF data: ±0.04V;

[0067] Brightness IV data: ±5% mcd;

[0068] Wavelength WLD data: ±0.5nm;

[0069] If the above comparison rules are met, it means that the chip is qualified. When the proportion of qualified chips in the wafer reaches the standard value, that is, the yield meets the requirements, it means that the wafer is qualified, otherwise it is judged as an abnormal wafer.

[0070] Step S500: if the wafer is abnormal, the first sampling calibration data is compared with the standard value to determine whether the qualified rate of each chip corresponding to the first sampling calibration data is greater than a preset value.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the preset value is 95%, that is, when the number of compared chips is 600, only 30 or less defective chips (NG chips) are allowed. It should be noted that the working voltage VF data, brightness IV data and wavelength WLD data need to be considered during the comparison. As long as one of the data is unqualified, the chip is a defective chip. The specific comparison method can refer to the above comparison rules.

[0072] Step S600: if the qualified rate of each chip corresponding to the first sampling calibration data is greater than a preset value, the slope of the linear regression line of the change rate of each first sampling calibration data is calculated according to the coordinate data.

[0073] Step S700: If the slope is less than a preset value, the wafer is determined to be qualified. 2 When it is close to 0, it indicates that the data deviation is small. In the present embodiment, the preset value is preferably 0.2, that is, when the slope is ≤ 0.2, it indicates that the wafer is qualified and the wafer is judged to be PASS.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, a linear regression line may be established according to the data changes corresponding to the coordinate distribution rule, and the slope of the linear regression line may be calculated.

[0075] Specifically, in some application scenarios of this embodiment, such as Figure 2 This is a data diagram of linear distribution data satisfying: y = -0.000016532x + 1.009716129, and its slope satisfies: R 2 =0.003030358; as shown in the figure, the data is evenly distributed and the wafer is qualified.

[0076] like Figure 3 This is a data diagram of linear distribution data satisfying: y = -0.006121371x + 1.084974194, and its slope satisfies: R 2 =0.913635053; As shown in the figure, the data distribution deviation is large, and the wafer is judged to be unqualified. In order to reduce the amount of data calculation, the sampling of data points can be sampled at intervals according to the distribution of coordinates. For example, among 600 chip data, 30 data are sampled at uniform intervals for linear distribution analysis.

[0077] When the abnormal wafer satisfies both step S600 and step S700, it indicates that at least some chips tested by the spot test data have a high pass rate, and the abnormality is most likely caused by a large deviation in the full test data. This can replace manual judgment to release the HOLD and reduce workload.

[0078] It can be understood that after the step of determining that the wafer is unqualified, the method further includes:

[0079] A second APC sampling test is performed on some chips in the middle of the wafer to obtain the second sampling calibration data. The reason for the abnormal data of normal wafers, in addition to the large deviation of the full test data, may also be a problem with the sampling of the sampling calibration data, such as a problem with the coordinate alignment. After the comparison of the above steps S600 and S700 has problems, the sampling data is re-acquired to obtain the second sampling calibration data, and then the new correction coefficient is re-obtained based on the second sampling calibration data, and the steps of steps 400-600 are repeated in sequence based on the new data to compare and analyze the data. It can be understood that after obtaining the new sampling data, if the wafer still fails, the wafer is judged to be HOLD and it is necessary to wait for the engineering personnel to make a judgment.

[0080] In summary, the LED chip test management method in the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, after the chip test is completed, for the wafer data abnormality, that is, the HOLD wafer, compares the first sampled data with the standard value to determine whether the corresponding chip qualification rate of this part is greater than the preset value, and determines whether the slope of the linear regression line of the change rate of each of the first sampled calibration data is less than the preset value. If the chip qualification rate of this part is greater than the preset value and the slope is less than the preset value, the wafer is automatically determined to be qualified. By adding the abnormal data analysis of this part, the HOLD is automatically released for the abnormal wafers that meet the conditions, reducing the impact of the problem of a high number of abnormal wafers caused by large data errors, and improving production and processing efficiency.

[0088] The first determination module 700 is used to determine that the wafer is qualified if the slope is less than a preset value.
