Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor transmission, and in particular relates to a substrate loader adopting an image acquisition scanning structure. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the semiconductor industry, the requirements for packaging technology are getting higher and higher. Due to the limitation of wafer size, the traditional wafer-level packaging technology has a low packaging utilization rate and faces certain limitations in the packaging of high-density and high-integration chips. Therefore, panel-level packaging (PLP) technology has gradually developed and become one of the important technologies in the field of semiconductor packaging. The panel has a large size, high packaging efficiency, and a shape closer to the shape of the chip. Compared with wafer-level packaging, it can reduce material waste and reduce production costs.

[0003] A Panel FOUP (front-opening standard panel box) is a special container for holding square substrates, and a substrate loader can automatically load a Panel FOUP and open the door of the Panel FOUP so that other transmission equipment can reach into the Panel FOUP to take out the substrate. In order to ensure safe placement and loading of substrates, the substrate loader needs to detect the position and status of the substrate in the Panel FOUP.

[0004] Comparative Document 1: For example, in the patent with publication number JP7443885B2 and patent name "Mapping Device and Loading Port Device", the scanning device uses a scanning bracket equipped with two pairs of opposing sensors to perform feeding movement, and probes into the Panel FOUP. The two pairs of opposing sensors respectively detect the position and state of the substrate by detecting the two corners of the substrate at the opening end of the Panel FOUP. This scanning device is independent of the door opening structure, and the scanning device needs to perform feeding movement alone, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the whole machine and also increases the operating time of the system; at the same time, the number of structures and moving elements is large, which increases the risk of dust contaminating the substrate; in addition, the opposing sensor detects the state of the substrate based on the principle of light being blocked. For thinner substrates and transparent substrates, it may not be detected or detected incorrectly, affecting the transmission safety of the substrate.

[0005] Comparative Document 2: For example, in the patent with publication number: CN115910877A and patent name "Loading Port", two photoelectric reflection sensors are arranged on the door opening device. When the door opening device descends, the two photoelectric reflection sensors descend accordingly and detect the position and state of the substrate in the Panel FOUP. The photoelectric reflection sensor detection method has low applicability to the thickness of the substrate, especially for thinner substrates, which may fail to detect or detect incorrectly, affecting the transmission safety of the substrate.
