Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wafer detection, and in particular to a testing device for detecting wafers. Background Art

[0002] Wafer is the basic material for manufacturing semiconductor devices. In appearance, it is a round thin sheet. It is usually made of silicon or other semiconductor materials. Silicon wafer is the most common because silicon has good semiconductor properties. Wafers play a key role in the manufacturing process of integrated circuits. Chip manufacturers use a series of complex micro-machining processes such as lithography, etching, and doping on the surface of wafers to build hundreds of millions of transistors and other electronic components. These components are combined to form integrated circuits with various functions. Chips such as computer CPUs and mobile phone processors are all manufactured on the basis of wafers.

[0003] When testing the performance of wafers, hardness testing is an important step. The current testing method is to use two electric clamping tools to fix the wafer, and then slide the test head on the wafer surface. During this process, the hardness data will be transmitted to the probe and further transmitted to the external device. However, this testing method has obvious problems. Since the wafer is fixed only by two electric clamping tools, the wafer is prone to shaking when the test head slides and contacts the wafer surface. This shaking will seriously interfere with the test results and cause data deviations. Summary of the invention

[0017] The console is equipped with a display screen that can display the images taken by the high-definition camera and the test results of the test knife in real time. The operator can directly see the test situation without additional equipment. During the hardness test and other operations, the operator can quickly make judgments and adjustments based on the real-time images and results, which not only improves the operability of the test, but also greatly improves the test efficiency.

[0027] Combined with Figure 5The testing mechanism is located directly above the placement slot 2, and includes a testing knife 7, a testing head 8 and a high-definition camera 9 arranged under the same support rod 6. The high-definition camera 9 is fixedly arranged under the support rod 6, and the testing head 8 is fixedly arranged above the testing knife 7 for sensing the testing force of the testing knife 7. The testing head 8 is driven by a driving structure fixedly arranged on the support rod 6, and the driving structure includes a micro motor 12 fixedly arranged on the support rod 6, and an eccentric rod 13 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the micro motor 12. The testing head 8 is fixedly arranged at one end below the eccentric rod 13. The micro motor 12 and the eccentric rod 13 drive the testing head 8, so that it can move stably on the wafer for precise testing.

[0028] Combined with Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 3 The support rod 6 is driven to rise and fall by a screw driver arranged on one side of the clamping seat 1. The screw driver includes a housing 14, a screw 15 driven by a motor, and a ball nut 16 threadedly connected to the screw 15. The support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the ball nut 16. The screw 15 driven by the motor cooperates with the ball nut 16 to ensure that the support rod 6 drives the test mechanism to rise and fall in a straight line and stably. The ball nut 16 is integrally formed with guide blocks 17 on both sides. A guide bar 18 cooperating with the guide block 17 is arranged on the inner side of the housing 14. The guide block 17 is slidably connected to the guide bar 18. A clamping bar 19 is arranged on the side of the guide bar 18 close to the guide block 17.

[0029] Combined with Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 4 The control panel 10 is arranged at one side of the clamping seat 1 and is electrically connected to the clamping seat 1, the testing mechanism and the screw driver. The control panel 10 is provided with a display screen 20 for displaying the picture taken by the high-definition camera 9 and the test result of the test knife 7. The display screen 20 can display the picture of the high-definition camera 9 and the test result of the test knife 7 in real time. The operator can directly see the test situation and make judgments and adjustments quickly, which effectively improves the operability and efficiency of the test.

[0030] Combined with Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 2 The clamping seat 1, the screw driver and the control console 10 are all fixed on the same base plate 21. Anti-slip rubber strips 22 are fixed at the four corners below the base plate 21 to fix the components on the same base plate 21 to form a stable integrated whole, effectively avoiding vibration and displacement problems caused by unstable connections of the components, and facilitating the installation and transportation of the equipment and the layout of wafer detection at a suitable position.

[0031] Combined with Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 4 A placement rack 23 is fixedly provided on the bottom plate 21 at one side of the clamping seat 1, and a plurality of wafer storage slots 24 are provided above the placement rack 23. The front side of the wafer storage slots 24 is provided with an opening. The placement rack 23 and the wafer storage slots 24 provide a convenient temporary storage space for the wafers to be tested, thereby improving the convenience of the test process. The opening design facilitates the placement and removal of wafers, making the flow smoother.

[0032] Specific implementation of the present invention: connect the device to an external power supply, and place the wafers to be tested in the wafer storage slot 24 in sequence. Take out a wafer to be tested and place it in the placement slot 2 of the clamping seat 1. Then, start the electric push rod 11 through the control console 10, and the electric push rod 11 pushes the clamping plate 3 to move, and flexibly adjusts the position according to the size of the wafer, so that the clamping plate 3 applies force to the wafer from multiple directions, and monitors the pressure of the pressure sensor 4 on the clamping plate 3 in real time to ensure that the wafer can be stably fixed and prevented from being damaged by pressure. At the same time, start the vacuum adsorption pump 5 to further stabilize the wafer to ensure that it will not be displaced or shaken during detection.

[0033] Then, the control console 10 controls the screw driver to work, and the motor in the screw driver drives the screw 15 to rotate, and cooperates with the ball nut 16 connected with the thread, driving the support rod 6 to descend. The guide blocks 17 on both sides of the ball nut 16 slide along the guide strips 18 on the inner side of the housing 14, and the clamping strips 19 are engaged with the clamping grooves on the guide blocks 17 to ensure that the support rod 6 can be stably lifted and lowered.

[0034] When the support rod 6 drives the test knife 7 to descend to the position where the wafer can be tested, the micro motor 12 is started, and the micro motor 12 drives the eccentric rod 13 to rotate, thereby driving the test head 8 to move. The test head 8 drives the test knife 7 below it to slide on the wafer for hardness detection. The test head 8 senses the test result and presents it on the display screen 20. During the process, turn on the high-definition camera 9 to shoot the test process, and the shooting picture will also be displayed in real time on the display screen 20 of the control console 10. After the test is completed, the above steps are reversed to raise the test knife 7, release the clamping plate 3 and turn off the vacuum adsorption pump 5, and take out the tested wafers for classification.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] The present invention and its embodiments are described above, and such description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in the field are inspired by it, without departing from the purpose of the invention, they can design a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without creativity, which should belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
