Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a wafer substrate positioning method, device, equipment, storage medium and program product. Background Art
[0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, wafer substrates are the basic materials for manufacturing chips, and their processing accuracy and quality control are crucial. Before the wafer substrate is chamfered, accurate positioning and correction of the center position of the wafer substrate (i.e. the center of the circle) and the processing groove position on the wafer substrate are key links to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent processing steps and product quality.
[0003] Most wafer substrates are circular, but in order to meet the needs of loading and unloading in the project, it is necessary to cut processing grooves around the wafer substrate. At present, the processing grooves on the wafer substrate can be divided into two types: orientation plane (Orientation Plat, OF) and V-shaped notch (i.e. Notch mouth). The positioning method for wafer substrates with orientation planes is relatively mature, but the positioning method used for wafer substrates with orientation planes is usually difficult to directly apply to wafer substrates with V-shaped notches. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the positioning method of wafer substrates with V-shaped notches.
[0004] In some related technologies, there are a variety of technical solutions for determining the center of the wafer substrate and the position of the V-shaped notch. The basic process of the common method is as follows: first, the wafer substrate is photographed from different angles or positions by three cameras to obtain images of the wafer substrate; then, these images are converted into grayscale images to simplify subsequent processing; then, the grayscale images are edge detected to extract the edge contour of the wafer substrate and obtain a series of edge pixel points; finally, these edge pixel points are further processed and analyzed to determine the exact position of the center of the wafer substrate and the V-shaped notch.
[0005] However, this method based on multiple camera image sampling has some obvious problems and limitations in practical applications: Since this method relies on image processing and edge detection algorithms, it is easily affected by environmental factors such as light changes, camera lens contamination or wafer surface defects, etc. These factors may lead to image quality degradation, thereby affecting the accuracy and stability of edge detection, and further affecting the positioning effect of the wafer substrate.
