For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.

[0031] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "include..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application is provided with a detection device including a first carrying device 201, a second carrying device 203 and an imaging device 202, wherein the first carrying device 201 includes a support member 2011 and a first rotating member 2012, the first rotating member 2012 can be rotated around a first direction to be connected to the support member 2011, the wafer 200 is placed by the second carrying device 203, the second carrying device 203 is movably arranged on a first axis relative to the first rotating member 2012, and a third carrying device 204 is arranged on a side of the support member 2011 away from the imaging device 202, the third carrying device 204 is movably arranged in a first direction and a second direction relative to the imaging device 202, so that the position of the carrying platform of the wafer 200 can be moved in different directions and rotated around the first direction, further realizing multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the position of the wafer 200, and enabling the surface of the wafer to be adjusted to the optimal focal plane of the imaging device 202 more quickly, thereby improving the observation efficiency of the wafer 200.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of another exemplary detection device, such as Figure 3 As shown, the detection device further includes a second rotating member 301 , which rotates around the first axis and is connected between the second bearing device 203 and the first rotating member 2012 , and the second bearing device 203 and the second rotating member 301 are arranged to rotate synchronously.

[0052] like Figure 3As shown, a second rotating connection can be set between the second carrying device 203 and the first rotating member 2012. The second rotating member 301 can be rotatably connected between the second carrying device 203 and the first rotating member 2012 around the first axis. The second rotating member 301 can be rotated to a preset angle to adjust the imaging device 202 to observe different areas of the wafer 200.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the second rotating member 301 is arranged to rotate around the first axis and is connected between the second carrying device 203 and the first rotating member 2012 . Different observation areas of the wafer 200 can be quickly adjusted by rotating the second rotating member 301 , thereby improving the observation efficiency of the wafer 200 .

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the third carrying device 204 includes a first component 302 and a second component 303, wherein the first component 302 is movably arranged relative to the second component 303 along a first direction, the first component 302 is fixedly connected to the support member, and the second component 303 is movably arranged relative to the imaging device along a third direction.

[0055] like Figure 3 As described, the third carrying device 204 may include a first component 302 and a second component 303, the first component 302 may be fixedly connected to the support member 2011, the first component 302 may be movably arranged along a first direction relative to the second component 303, and the second component 303 may be movably arranged along a third direction relative to the imaging device. It can be imagined that a first distance of the first component 302 relative to the second component 303 along the first direction, i.e., along the x-axis direction, and a second distance of the second component 302 relative to the imaging device along the third direction, i.e., along the y-axis direction, may be controlled in advance to adjust the distance of the carrying platform in the horizontal plane.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, a third supporting device 204 is provided including a first component 302 and a second component 303. The first component 302 is provided to be movable along a first direction relative to the second component 303, and the second component 303 is provided to be movable along a third direction relative to the imaging device. This can control the movement of the position of the supporting platform in the horizontal plane, facilitate the movement of the position of the wafer 200, and enable the imaging system to observe different areas of the wafer.

[0057] In some embodiments, the imaging device includes an imaging system composed of a collection device 304 and a light source 305, the light source 305 is used to emit a light beam to the wafer, the light source 305 and the collection device 304 can be arranged on the side of the measurement substrate 205 close to the second carrier 203, and the lens 206 can be arranged on the side of the collection device, and the collection device can collect the light intensity of the reflected light beam on the surface of the wafer, collect the image of the wafer surface, and collect the coordinate values ​​of multiple points of the wafer 200 in the second direction. Here, the rotation angle of the first rotating member 2012 can be adjusted based on the light intensity of the reflected light beam collected by the first collection device 304.

[0058] The embodiment of the present application sets up the imaging device 202 including the acquisition device 304, and can adjust the rotation angle of the first rotating member 2012 based on the intensity of the light beam reflected from the surface of the wafer collected by the imaging device 202. There is no need to determine the rotation angle of the first rotating member 2012 based on the imaging quality of the light beam reflected from the wafer 200, and the rotation angle can be determined only by the intensity of the light beam reflected. The surface of the wafer can be quickly adjusted to the optimal focal plane, thereby improving the observation efficiency of the wafer 200.

[0059] It can be imagined that when the above-mentioned lens 206 includes a scanning electron microscope lens or an optical microscope lens, the above-mentioned acquisition device 304 can collect the light intensity reflected from the wafer surface and the image and coordinate value of the wafer surface to determine the rotation angle and position of the wafer.

[0060] In some embodiments, a vibration isolation device may be provided on a side of the measurement substrate 205 close to the second carrier 203 , and the vibration isolation device may maintain the stability of the imaging device 202 , so that the wafer 200 may be observed more accurately based on the imaging system.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining the wafer position based on the above detection device, and the method may include the following steps S410-S420:

[0062] S410: When a light source emits a light beam to the wafer, light intensities of reflected light beams reflected from a plurality of points on the surface of the wafer and coordinate values ​​of the plurality of points in a second direction are acquired.

[0063] Here, a light source can be used to emit a light beam to the wafer. When the above-mentioned detection device starts path scanning, the second carrying device can be moved continuously in the first direction and the third direction to enable the above-mentioned acquisition device 304 to collect the light intensity of the reflected light beam reflected by multiple points on the wafer surface and the coordinate values ​​of the multiple points in the second direction. Here, when the above-mentioned acquisition device collects the light intensity of the reflected light beam, it can simultaneously collect the light intensity of the reflected light beam at multiple reflection points on the wafer surface and the coordinate value of each reflection point in the second direction.

[0064] S420: Based on the light intensities of the reflected light beams reflected from the multiple points, determine the target points where the light intensities are greater than a threshold.

[0065] Based on the light intensity of the reflected light beam reflected from multiple points, the target point with light intensity greater than a threshold can be determined. Here, the above-mentioned target point can include at least three target points. The target surface is determined based on the above-mentioned three target points. In order to improve the accuracy of wafer observation, the wafer surface needs to be adjusted to the above-mentioned target surface.

[0066] In some examples, after determining the light intensities of reflected light beams reflected from multiple points, the light intensities of the reflected light beams can be sorted from large to small, and the first n points with larger light intensities of the reflected light beams can be selected as the above-mentioned target points.

[0067] S430: Determine a target rotation angle of the first rotating member based on the coordinate value of the target point in the second direction, and control the rotation angle of the first rotating member to the target rotation angle.

[0068] Here, the current surface of the wafer surface can be determined based on the coordinate values ​​of multiple points in the second direction collected by the acquisition device 304, the target rotation angle of the first rotating member can be determined by the deviation between the current surface and the target surface, and the rotation angle of the first rotating member can be controlled to the target rotation angle.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application obtains the light intensity of the reflected light beam at multiple points on the surface of the wafer and the coordinate values ​​of the multiple points in the second direction, and determines the target point whose light intensity is greater than a threshold based on the light intensity of the reflected light beam at the multiple points. The target rotation angle of the first rotating member can be determined through the coordinate value of the target point in the second direction, and based on the maximum conceivable value, the rotation angle of the above-mentioned first rotating member 2012 is adjusted to the target rotation angle, so that the surface of the wafer can be adjusted to the optimal focal plane, thereby improving the observation efficiency of the wafer.

[0070] It can be imagined that after the surface of the wafer is adjusted to be parallel to the optimal focal plane, the distance between the second carrier device 203 and the imaging device 202 can be controlled to adjust the surface of the wafer to the optimal focal plane for easy observation.

[0071] In some embodiments, Figure 5As shown, after determining the target rotation angle of the rotating member corresponding to the maximum light intensity and controlling the rotation angle of the rotating member to the target rotation angle, the above determination method may further include the following steps S510-S520:

[0072] S510: When the light source emits a light beam to the wafer and the distance between the second carrying device 203 and the imaging device 202 on the first axis continuously changes, a plurality of distances and a reflected image formed by the reflected light beam on the surface of the wafer corresponding to each distance are acquired.

[0073] Here, when a light source is used to emit a light beam to the wafer, after completing the above-mentioned adjustment of the rotation angle of the first rotating member 2012, the distance between the second supporting device 203 and the imaging device 202 can be continuously changed along the first axis, and the reflected image formed by the surface reflected light beam of the wafer corresponding to different distances can be collected. It can be imagined that the above-mentioned reflected image can be collected based on the image collection device set in the above-mentioned detection equipment.

[0074] S520: Determine the target distance corresponding to the reflected image with the maximum definition, and control the distance between the second carrying device 203 and the imaging device 202 on the first axis to the target distance.

[0075] After acquiring multiple reflected images, the clarity of each image can be calculated based on an image clarity algorithm, the target distance corresponding to the reflected image with maximum clarity can be determined, and the distance between the second supporting device 203 and the imaging device 202 on the first axis can be controlled to the target distance. Here, the above-mentioned target distance can be the distance between the supporting surface of the second supporting device 203 and the optical lens 206 in the above-mentioned imaging device 202.

[0076] The embodiment of the present application controls the distance of the second carrier 203 from the imaging device 202 on the second axis to a target distance corresponding to an image of maximum clarity based on the clarity of the image of the reflected light beam acquired at each distance when the distance of the second carrier 203 from the imaging device 202 on the first axis continuously changes, thereby achieving rapid adjustment of the surface of the wafer to the optimal focal plane and improving observation efficiency.

[0077] In some embodiments, in the above step S410: when the light source emits a light beam to the wafer and the first rotating member 2012 in the detection device continuously rotates around the first direction, before obtaining multiple rotation angles of the first rotating member 2012 and the intensity of the reflected light beam on the surface of the wafer corresponding to each rotation angle, the method further includes:

[0078] The distance of the third carrying device 204 relative to the imaging device 202 in the first direction is controlled to be a first preset distance, and the distance of the third carrying device relative to the imaging device 202 in the third direction is controlled to be a second preset distance.

[0079] Here, the target area of ​​the wafer that needs to be observed can be determined by controlling the distance of the third carrier 204 relative to the imaging device 202 in the first direction and the third direction. Here, the distance of the third carrier 204 relative to the imaging device 202 in the first direction can be controlled to a first preset distance, and the distance of the third carrier 204 relative to the imaging device 202 in the third direction can be controlled to a second preset distance.

[0080] In some examples, when the third carrier device 204 includes a first component and a second component, the distance of the first component relative to the imaging device along the x-axis direction can be controlled to the first preset distance, or the distance of the first component relative to the second component along the x-axis direction can be controlled to the preset distance, and the distance of the second component relative to the imaging device along the y-axis direction can be controlled to the second preset distance, so as to adjust the observation position of the wafer.

[0081] Here, the target area of ​​the wafer to be observed may be predetermined. For example, the rotation angle of the second rotating member 301 of the detection device around the first axis may be controlled to a preset angle first, and then the positions of the first component and the second component may be adjusted.

[0082] The embodiment of the present application can adjust the observation position of the wafer by controlling the distance of the third supporting device relative to the imaging device along the first direction and the third direction, thereby improving the accuracy of wafer position determination, and facilitating subsequent adjustment of the wafer surface to the optimal focal plane to improve wafer observation efficiency.
