Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wafer processing, in particular to a method for observing a wafer center peripheral mark. Background Art

[0002] Since the left and right alignment systems move as a whole, no matter which side of the wafer Y axis is moved to, the objective lens on that side will be moved further, and the mark on that side in the "blind area" cannot be observed, and can only be observed through the objective lens on the opposite side; if the mark on the other side of the "blind area" needs to be observed, it needs to be moved to the opposite side as a whole, and then observed through the objective lens on this side. This solution cannot observe the marks on the left and right sides of the "blind area" at the same time, and the overall back and forth movement takes a lot of time. Summary of the invention

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, the present invention provides a method for observing a mark near the center of a wafer.

[0004] The present invention is implemented by constructing a method for observing a wafer center adjacent mark, comprising the following steps:

[0005] S1: The mark on the wafer is reflected onto the reflector through the light hole, and the reflector reflects the light onto the left objective lens, and the mark on the right side of the wafer Y-axis area can be observed;

[0006] S2: When the electric push rod in the left objective lens is running, the moving end in the electric push rod moves and drives the convex block to move. The convex block exerts a squeezing force to drive the squeezing plate to move downward. The squeezing plate exerts a squeezing force to drive the reset spring and push the slider on the sliding rheostat to move, so that the sliding rheostat controls the warning light to operate, reminding the mirror to adjust its angle to the position;

[0007] S3: The elasticity of the multiple sets of electromagnetic springs in the receiving plate can be controlled during operation, that is, the elastic force applied to the receiving plate can be controlled, so that the receiving plate can be fine-tuned in the connecting plate, and the angle of the reflector can be fine-tuned through the receiving plate.

[0008] Preferably, a reflector is provided inside the left objective lens and the right objective lens, and a light hole is provided below the left objective lens and the right objective lens.

[0009] Preferably, the right objective lens has the same structure as the left objective lens.

[0010] Preferably, the reflector is rotatably connected to the left objective lens via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the reflector is rotatably connected to a receiving plate, and a plurality of groups of electromagnetic springs are fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the receiving plate.

[0011] Preferably, the other end of the electromagnetic spring is fixedly connected to a connecting disk, the surface of the connecting disk is rotatably connected to the electric push rod, and the other end of the electric push rod is rotatably connected to the left objective lens.

[0012] Preferably, a protrusion is fixedly connected to the side wall of the movable end of the electric push rod, and an extrusion plate is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the electric push rod, and the extrusion plate is fixedly connected to the return spring through a sliding rod.

[0013] Preferably, the return spring is fixedly connected in the electric push rod, a sliding rheostat is fixedly connected in the electric push rod below the sliding rod, and the sliding piece on the sliding rheostat is fixedly connected to the sliding rod.

[0014] Preferably, a warning light is provided on the left objective lens, and the warning light is connected to the sliding rheostat via a cable.

[0015] Preferably, the reflector is fixedly connected to the left objective lens, and a reflective prism is fixedly connected below the light hole.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) Both the left and right objective lenses are provided with reflectors or reflective prisms, so that light can be reflected by the reflectors, enter the objective lenses and be observed; so that the left and right objective lenses can simultaneously observe the marks in the "blind area" without crossing the Y axis of the wafer.

[0018] (2) When the electric push rod is running, its moving end will drive the bump and the extrusion plate to move, and then push the slider on the sliding rheostat to move, thereby controlling the operating status of the warning light connected to it; the function of the warning light is to give a prompt when the angle of the reflector is adjusted to the right position to ensure the accuracy of observation.

[0019] (3) By controlling the elasticity of the electromagnetic spring during operation, that is, controlling the elastic force applied to the receiving plate, the angle of the reflector can be finely adjusted to meet the needs of high-precision observation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
