DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, an IV detection mechanism for 0BB silicon wafers includes a left detection module 1 and a right detection module 2. Both the left detection module 1 and the right detection module 2 include a UVW base 3, a gold wire row 4 and a silver row test frame 5. A UVW deviation correction and alignment component is installed at the lower end of the UVW base 3. The UVW deviation correction and alignment component includes two groups of X-axis modules 6 and one group of Y-axis modules 7. The gold wire row 4 and the silver row test frame 5 are respectively movable on the UVW base 3 along the vertical direction. The gold wire row 4 is installed with gold wires 8, and the silver row test frame 5 is installed with silver rows 9. The left detection module 1 and the right detection module 2 move independently of each other.

[0025] The double half-chip 0BB silicon wafers come to the left detection module 1 and the right detection module 2 respectively. Under the action of the UVW deflection correction and alignment component, two groups of X-axis modules 6 and one group of Y-axis modules 7 work together, so that the UVW base 3 can move in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction and the T-axis rotation angle, and then control the gold wire row 4 and the silver row test frame 5 to align with the position of the half-chip silicon wafer, and then the gold wire row 4 moves downward, the silver row test frame 5 moves upward, the gold wire 8 is pressed on the auxiliary grid, and the silver row 9 is pressed under the auxiliary grid of the half-chip 0BB silicon wafer. After the passage is formed, the electrical performance can be tested.

[0026] A lifting bracket 10 is installed on the UVW base 3, and an upper linear module and a lower linear module are arranged on the lifting bracket 10. The driving end of the upper linear module is connected to the upper mounting frame 11, and the gold wire row 4 is fixed in the upper mounting frame 11. The driving end of the lower linear module is connected to the lower mounting frame 12, and the silver row test frame 5 is fixed in the lower mounting frame 12. When controlling the lifting of the gold wire row 4, it moves up and down by relying on the upper linear module. When controlling the lifting of the silver row test frame 5, it moves up and down by relying on the lower linear module. The upper linear module and the lower linear module are both installed in the middle of the lifting bracket 10.

[0027] There are tension springs 13 on both sides of the gold wire row 4, both ends of the gold wire 8 are fixed on the tension springs 13, the gold wire 8 is connected to the upper conductor 14, a circuit board 15 is fixed to the outside of the gold wire row 4, and the upper conductor 14 is connected to the circuit board 15. Under the action of the tension spring 13, the gold wire 8 is in an elastic state and is tightened on the gold wire row 4 by screws to prevent hard contact with the half-chip. The connection of the electrical signal relies on the circuit board 15 for reception.

[0028] Both sides of the silver bar test frame 5 are provided with mounting grooves, the ends of the silver bar 9 are inserted into the mounting grooves, and a pressure strip 16 is provided above the mounting grooves. The pressure strip 16 is pressed on the ends of the silver bar 9. The upper end of the silver bar 9 is in an arc shape that bends upward. The silver bar 9 is connected to a lower wire 17. The upwardly bent arc structure can allow the silver bar 9 to accurately press against the middle of the auxiliary grid. During installation, the silver bar 9 is fixed by the pressure strips 16 on both sides.

[0029] The upper linear module includes an upper motor 18, an upper screw and an upper nut 19. The upper motor 18 is connected to the lower end of the upper screw, and the upper screw is threadedly connected to the upper nut 19. The upper mounting frame 11 passes through the lifting bracket 10 and is fixedly connected to the upper nut 19; the lower linear module includes a lower motor 20, a lower screw and a lower nut 21. The lower motor 20 is connected to the upper end of the lower screw, and the lower screw is threadedly connected to the lower nut 21. The lower mounting frame 12 passes through the lifting bracket 10 and is fixedly connected to the lower nut 21; the upper and lower installations of the upper linear module and the lower linear module are exactly symmetrical and opposite. The motor controls the rotation of the nut through the screw to realize the lifting and lowering of the mounting frame, and the corresponding gold wire row 4 and silver row test frame 5 can be lifted and lowered.

[0030] The outer side of the upper mounting frame 11 and the outer side of the lower mounting frame 12 are both connected with a vertical slider 22. A vertical slide rail 23 is fixed on the lifting bracket 10 along the vertical direction. The vertical slider 22 slides on the vertical slide rail 23. When the upper mounting frame 11 and the lower mounting frame 12 are lifted or lowered, the vertical slider 22 and the vertical slide rail 23 are used to guide the wires in the vertical direction and reduce friction.

[0031] The X-axis module 6 and the Y-axis module 7 both include a motor mounting seat 24, a module motor 25, an adjustment screw 26 and an adjustment slide 27. The module motor 25 is fixed on the motor mounting seat 24. The driving end of the module motor 25 is transmission-connected with the adjustment screw 26. The adjustment screw 26 is threadedly connected with the adjustment nut of the adjustment slide 27. The adjustment slide 27 slides along the length direction of the adjustment screw 26. The adjustment slide 27 is provided with a connecting bearing 28. The connecting bearing 28 slides on the adjustment slide 27. The moving direction of the connecting bearing 28 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the adjustment slide 27. The edge of the UVW base 3 is locked in the connecting bearing 28. Two groups of X-axis modules 6 plus one group of Y-axis modules 7 jointly control the T-axis steering of the UVW base 3 on one side. Linear guides and linear sliders are used to slide the adjustment slide 27 and the connecting bearing 28, as well as the adjustment slide 27 and the motor mounting seat 24.

[0032] The UVW deflection correction and alignment component is a high-precision mobile structure specially designed for high-precision alignment equipment. It is also commonly called the XXY platform. As a three-axis parallel motion mechanism, it can realize rotational motion centered on any point on the plane and translation in any direction (X, Y, and θ three-axis motion in the plane) by controlling the parallel motion of three linear moving structures. The UVW deflection correction and alignment component, in conjunction with the visual module, can realize high-precision alignment functions and can be used in the silicon wafer printing industry.

[0033] More specifically, the implementation process of the UVW correction and alignment component includes determining the transformation matrix from the camera coordinate system to the UVW platform coordinate system through a visual calibration method, as well as the coordinate value of the marker template based on the origin coordinate system on the UVW correction and alignment component, and obtaining the x, y, and θ offsets between the marker template position and the marker to be corrected (based on the origin coordinate system of the UVW correction and alignment component) through the visual module. Then, the initial coordinates of the three axes are entered according to the formula, the rotation center is set to (0, 0), and the θ offset is entered to obtain the new coordinate values ​​of the UVW three axes, the new coordinates of the object to be corrected, and the corresponding feed amounts of the three motors. This series of operations decomposes the motion process into translation and rotation parts, and calculates the motor feed amounts separately, thereby achieving precise automatic positioning, and the alignment accuracy can reach the micron level.

[0034] It should be stated that the above-mentioned specific implementation methods are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles used. Within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by technicians familiar with this technical field should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
