Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wafer detection, and specifically to a wafer defect detection device for semiconductor production. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor wafers are the basic materials for manufacturing semiconductor devices. They are usually made of high-purity single-crystalline silicon, in the shape of circular thin slices, mainly used for manufacturing integrated circuits and other microelectronic devices. They are extremely thin slices cut from high-purity single-crystalline silicon ingots. The manufacturing process includes heating and reducing silica ore in an electric arc furnace to produce crude silicon, then purifying and distilling it to make high-purity polysilicon. Finally, the polysilicon is melted by the Czochralski method and doped with a silicon crystal seed, and slowly pulled out to form a cylindrical single-crystalline silicon rod, which is then sliced, ground, and polished to obtain the final wafer.

Common types of wafer defects include particle defects, scratch defects, bubble defects, cracks and fractures, lattice defects, etc. It is necessary to use detection equipment to detect wafers. When existing detection equipment detects large-sized wafers, single-sided detection is difficult to ensure the comprehensiveness of wafer defect detection.

Two first gears 11 symmetrically and respectively matched with the two toothed belts 10 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating rod 9. When the two rotating rods 9 rotate, the two toothed belts 10 can be driven to rotate and move synchronously through the first gears 11. A belt 12 is fixedly installed between the two toothed belts 10, and the toothed belt 10 can drive the belt 12 to rotate and move synchronously. Detection holes are formed on the outer side of the belt 12. The top and bottom of the detection box 7 are both open structures. The transparent placement plate 8 is located inside the belt 12. When the detection end of the infrared detector 5 is aligned with the detection holes of the belt 12, the wafers on the transparent placement plate 8 can be detected.

A second gear 14 matched with the toothed ring 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating rod 9 close to the mounting plate 3. When the mounting plate 3 rotates, the toothed ring 13 can drive the second gear 14 to rotate, so that the second gear 14 drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate, and the detection holes on the belt 12 can move from the top of the detection box 7 to the bottom of the detection box 7.

[0032] Embodiment 2: Please refer to Figures 4-6, this embodiment further elaborates on Embodiment 1. The distance adjustment mechanism shown in the figure includes a slider 18 fixedly installed on the side of the L-shaped bracket 4 close to the mounting plate 3. A sliding cavity for the slider 18 to be limited and slide is provided on the outer side of the mounting plate 3. A spring 19 is fixedly installed between the inner side of the sliding cavity and the outer side of the slider 18. A guide rod 33 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sliding cavity of the mounting plate 3. The guide rod 33 slidably penetrates the slider 18. When the L-shaped bracket 4 moves, it can drive the slider 18 to move along the outer side of the guide rod 33 and the inner side of the sliding cavity, and compress the spring 19. The guide rod 33 is located inside the spring 19 and can provide auxiliary support for the spring 19 to prevent the spring 19 from skewing. A pulley 20 is fixedly installed on the side of the L-shaped bracket 4 away from the slider 18. A support ring 21 is fixedly installed on the side of the support plate 2 close to the mounting plate 3. The outer side of the pulley 20 is in contact with the outer side of the support ring 21. When the mounting plate 3 rotates, it can drive the pulley 20 on the L-shaped bracket 4 to move along the outer side of the support ring 21. Two symmetrically distributed arc-shaped protrusions 22 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the support ring 21. The maximum distance between the two arc-shaped protrusions 22 is greater than the width of the detection box 7. When the pulley 20 moves from the outer side of the support ring 21 to the outer side of the arc-shaped protrusion 22, the pulley 20 can push the L-shaped bracket 4 to move, so that the L-shaped bracket 4 drives the infrared detector 5 away from the detection box 7, facilitating the movement of the infrared detector 5. When the pulley 20 comes into contact with the support ring 21 again, the infrared detector 5 can be aligned directly below the detection platform 1.

A sliding ball 35 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the mounting rod 34. A long slot for the sliding ball 35 to be limited and slide is provided on the outer side of the mounting plate 3. When the L-shaped bracket 4 moves, it can drive the sliding ball 35 to move along the long slot on the mounting plate 3 through the mounting rod 34, so that the sliding ball 35 can provide auxiliary pulling force for the L-shaped bracket 4 and improve the supporting force of the L-shaped bracket 4 on the infrared detector 5.

[0033] Embodiment 3: Please refer to Figures 2-8, this embodiment further illustrates other embodiments. The discharging mechanism in the figure includes two L-shaped plates 23 symmetrically and fixedly installed on the side of the detection box 7 away from the mounting plate 3. An inlet is provided on one side of the detection box 7 close to the L-shaped plate 23 for taking out and putting in the transparent placement plate 8. A screw 24 is rotatably installed between the end of the L-shaped plate 23 away from the detection box 7 and the inner side of the detection box 7. A fixing ring 25 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the transparent placement plate 8. Two moving blocks 26 respectively cooperating with the two screws 24 are fixedly installed on the top of the fixing ring 25. When the two screws 24 rotate, the fixing ring 25 can be driven by the moving blocks 26 to enter or move out of the detection box 7. One end of the screw 24 close to the left side of the detection box 7 is fixedly installed with a third gear 27. A first arc-shaped rack 28 and a second arc-shaped rack 29 cooperating with the third gear 27 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the mounting plate 3. The first arc-shaped rack 28 is an inner arc rack, and the second arc-shaped rack 29 is an outer arc rack. When the mounting plate 3 rotates, the first arc-shaped rack 28 and the second arc-shaped rack 29 can be driven to make circular motions synchronously. When the first arc-shaped rack 28 contacts the third gear 27, the first gear 11 can be driven to rotate clockwise, so that the screw 24 moves the fixing ring 25 out of the detection box 7 through the moving block 26. When the second arc-shaped rack 29 contacts the third gear 27, the screw 24 can send the fixing ring 25 into the detection box 7 through the moving block 26. A synchronous belt 30 is installed between the two screws 24 through sprocket transmission. The synchronous belt 30 is a transmission chain in the prior art. When the screw 24 equipped with the third gear 27 rotates, the other screw 24 can be driven to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 30. The synchronous belt 30 is located on the side of the detection box 7 close to the mounting plate 3. Two symmetrically distributed baffles 36 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the detection box 7. A socket 37 for the screw 24 to rotate and install is fixedly installed on the outer side of the baffle 36 to provide support for the screw 24. An elastic abutting block 38 is slidably installed inside the socket 37. One end of the elastic abutting block 38 close to the screw 24 is of a hemispherical structure. A plurality of centrally symmetrically distributed spherical grooves are provided on the outer side of the screw 24. The elasticity of the elastic abutting block 38 can be used to position the stopped screw 24 to prevent the third gear 27 from rotating back.

[0034] Working principle: First, the staff places the wafer to be detected on the transparent placement plate 8, starts the drive motor 16, and the drive motor 16 drives the rotating cylinder 15 to rotate through two transmission gears 17. The rotating cylinder 15 drives the mounting plate 3 to rotate, and the mounting plate 3 drives the infrared detector 5 on the L-shaped bracket 4 to perform a circular motion. At the same time, the pulley 20 of the L-shaped bracket 4 moves along the outside of the arc-shaped convex block 22. When the infrared detector 5 moves from the left side of the detection box 7 to directly above the detection box 7, the pulley 20 can move from the arc-shaped convex block 22 to the support ring 21. Utilizing the elasticity of the spring 19, the slider 18 is pushed to move along the outside of the sliding cavity on the mounting plate 3 and the outside of the guide rod 33. The slider 18 drives the L-shaped bracket 4 to move synchronously, so that the pulley 20 contacts the support ring 21, and the detection end of the infrared detector 5 can approach the top of the detection box 7. At the same time, the mounting plate 3 drives the second gear 14 to rotate through the toothed ring 13, and the second gear 14 drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate. The rotating rod 9 drives two toothed belts 10 to rotate and move synchronously through two first gears 11. The two toothed belts 10 drive the belt 12 to move synchronously, so that the detection holes on the belt 12 move to the top of the detection box 7 and are aligned with the detection end of the infrared detector 5. At the same time, the mounting plate 3 drives the second arc-shaped rack 29 and the first arc-shaped rack 28 to rotate synchronously, and the second arc-shaped rack 29 contacts the third gear 27. The third gear 27 drives the corresponding screw rod 24 to rotate, and the screw rod 24 drives another screw rod 24 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 30. The two screw rods 24 can drive the fixed ring 25 to move through the moving block 26, so that the transparent placement plate 8 on the fixed ring 25 moves and enters the detection box 7. Thus, the infrared detector 5 can detect the wafer on the transparent placement plate 8 through the detection holes on the belt 12. Then, after the infrared detector 5 finishes detecting the top of the wafer, the drive motor 16 is started again, so that the detection holes on the belt 12 move to directly below the wafer, and the infrared detector 5 can detect the bottom of the wafer through the transparent placement plate 8. At the same time, the pulley 20 moves from the outside of the support ring 21 to the outside of another arc-shaped convex block 22. The pulley 20 can push the L-shaped bracket 4 to move. The L-shaped bracket 4 drives the slider 18 to move along the outside of the guide rod 33 and the inside of the sliding cavity, and compresses the spring 19, so that the L-shaped bracket 4 drives the infrared detector 5 to move away from the detection box 7. Utilizing the resilience of the spring 19, when the pulley 20 moves away from the arc-shaped convex block 22, the pulley 20 can contact the outside of the support ring 21 again, and the infrared detector 5 can be aligned directly below the detection platform 1. Finally, the drive motor 16 is started again, and the mounting plate 3 drives the first arc-shaped rack 28 to contact the third gear 27, so that the third gear 27 rotates counterclockwise. The screw rod 24 can move the wafer on the transparent placement plate 8 out of the detection box 7 through the moving block 26 and the fixed ring 25, and the staff can take out the detected wafer. In this process, there is no need to turn over the wafer, thus achieving the effect of safe and multi-sided detection, which is convenient for continuous detection of multiple wafers.
