Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and in particular to a control method and device for automatically adjusting the thickness of a wafer thinning. Background Art
[0002] In the field of semiconductor manufacturing, especially in the wafer thinning process, precise control of wafer thickness variation (TTV) is crucial to ensure wafer performance and quality. Although the wafer thinning technology in related technologies is relatively mature, it still has some shortcomings.
[0003] At present, the common practice is to conduct sample tests before each shift, and adjust the parameters such as the inclination angle of the carrier through manual judgment to control TTV. However, this method has obvious defects: on the one hand, the subjective factors of human judgment have a greater impact, resulting in the inability to guarantee the accuracy of the results; on the other hand, the single adjustment method cannot adapt to the dynamic changes in the subsequent production process, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of higher-precision TTV control.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0018] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a control method for automatically adjusting the wafer thinning thickness is provided, the method is applied to a control module in a wafer thinning system, the wafer thinning system also includes an online TTV measurement module and a wafer thinning processing device, the method includes the following steps: Step 101: obtaining an initial TTV value measured by an online TTV measurement module during wafer thinning; wherein the measurement points collected by the online TTV measurement module are smaller than the measurement points collected by the FRT measurement device, and the sampling resolution is smaller than the sampling resolution of the FRT measurement device, and the FRT measurement device measures the TTV value of the same wafer after thinning is completed; Wafers are thin sheets of high-purity semiconductor materials used in semiconductor manufacturing. They are the basic materials for manufacturing semiconductor devices such as integrated circuits and chips. Common wafer materials include silicon wafers, silicon carbide wafers, and sapphire wafers.
[0019] The online TTV measurement module can obtain the initial TTV value of the wafer in real time during the thinning process. The number of measurement points and sampling resolution are relatively low. When measuring in real time on the production line, it is necessary to quickly obtain data to find obvious problems in time. If there are too many measurement points or the resolution is too high, it will greatly increase the measurement time and calculation amount, affecting production efficiency. Therefore, the online TTV measurement module improves the measurement speed by reducing the measurement points and lowering the sampling resolution.
[0020] The FRT measuring equipment performs more detailed and accurate TTV measurement on the same wafer after wafer thinning. Therefore, the accuracy and comprehensiveness of wafer measurement are required to be higher. The FRT measuring equipment can collect more measurement points and has a higher sampling resolution, thus providing more accurate TTV value information. Among them, the TTV value refers to the change in wafer thickness, which is used to evaluate the quality of the wafer after thinning.
[0021] Step 102: obtaining a corrected TTV value based on the initial TTV value using a TTV compensation model; wherein the TTV compensation model is obtained by training TTV values measured on the same wafer using at least an online TTV measurement module and an FRT measurement device; In the process of training the TTV compensation model, the online TTV measurement module and the FRT measurement equipment can be used to measure multiple wafers and collect TTV data of multiple wafers. Furthermore, the TTV data of these wafers include the TTV values of low-resolution online measurements and a small number of measurement points, as well as the TTV values of high-resolution FRT measurements and a large number of measurement points. By comparing these two measurement results, the TTV compensation model can learn the deviation between the online measurement value and the actual high-precision FRT measurement value.
[0022] Furthermore, for the training of the TTV compensation model, paired online and FRT measurement values can be used as training data and input into a neural network. By adjusting the parameters of the TTV compensation model, the output of the TTV compensation model is made as close as possible to the high-precision TTV value measured by FRT, thereby minimizing the error between the predicted value and the true value. During the training process, the TTV compensation model can learn how to map the low-resolution online measured TTV value to the high-resolution FRT measured TTV value. After the TTV compensation model is trained, the initial TTV value obtained by the online measurement can be input into the TTV compensation model, and the TTV compensation model can output a corrected TTV value to make it closer to the true high-precision FRT measurement result.
[0023] Step 103: If the corrected TTV value is not within the set specification, determine the optimal TTV angle parameter through the pre-trained prediction model; wherein the environmental characteristic data during the wafer thinning process is used as a constant of the prediction model, the TTV angle parameter is used as the optimization target of the prediction model, and the expected TTV value is used as the output target of the prediction model to perform a traversal of the feasible set of TTV angles to obtain the optimal angle parameter; wherein the environmental characteristic data includes process parameter characteristics; The prediction model can be trained based on a large amount of historical data and actual measurement results. The prediction model can predict the corresponding TTV value based on the input environmental characteristic data and TTV angle parameters. Among them, the environmental characteristic data can be used as a constant of the prediction model. The environmental characteristic data can include process parameter characteristics, such as temperature, pressure, and rotation speed during the thinning process. The environmental characteristic data is relatively stable during the production process and has an important impact on the TTV value.
[0024] The TTV angle parameter can be the optimization target of the prediction model. It is necessary to adjust the TTV angle parameter so that the TTV value output by the prediction model reaches the expected target. The specific operation is to perform a traversal of the feasible set of TTV angles, that is, to conduct a comprehensive search and attempt within the possible value range of the TTV angle parameter, calculate the predicted TTV value corresponding to each possible angle parameter combination, and then select the optimal angle parameter combination that makes the predicted TTV value closest to the expected value from each possible angle parameter combination.
[0025] Step 104: Control the grinding disc angle in the wafer thinning processing equipment to adjust to the TTV optimal angle parameter to act on the next wafer thinning thickness processing.
[0026] During the wafer thinning process, the angle of the grinding disc can affect the TTV of the wafer. After the optimal TTV angle parameters are determined through the prediction model, the angle of the grinding disc in the wafer thinning equipment needs to be adjusted accordingly. Furthermore, the angle of the grinding disc is adjusted to the optimal angle parameter to ensure that the expected TTV value can be achieved during the next wafer thinning process to meet the quality requirements of wafer thinning.
[0027] In this embodiment, during the wafer thinning process, the method uses a TTV compensation model trained based on the measurement data of an online TTV measurement module and an FRT measurement device to correct the initial TTV value to obtain a corrected TTV value that is closer to the FRT measurement result; if the corrected TTV value exceeds the set specification, the optimal TTV angle parameter is determined by a pre-trained prediction model, the prediction model uses environmental feature data (including process parameter features) as a constant, and the TTV angle parameter as the optimization target, and obtains the optimal angle parameter by traversing the feasible set; the grinding disc angle in the wafer thinning processing equipment is adjusted to the optimal TTV angle parameter to optimize the next wafer thinning process. This method can achieve real-time precise control and continuous optimization of the wafer thinning process, and improve production efficiency and product quality.
[0028] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, based on the initial TTV value, a TTV compensation model is used to obtain a corrected TTV value, including the following steps: Step 201: inputting the initial TTV value into the high-low resolution mapping model to obtain the virtual TTV value measured by the virtual FRT measurement device; the high-low resolution mapping model is obtained by mapping the TTV values measured on the same wafer using at least the online TTV measurement module and the FRT measurement device; The high- and low-resolution mapping model can be obtained by mapping the TTV values measured by the online TTV measurement module and the FRT measurement device on the same wafer. It should be noted that the online TTV measurement module can obtain the initial TTV value of the wafer in real time during the thinning process, but due to the small number of measurement points and low sampling resolution, the accuracy of the initial TTV value is limited. The FRT measurement device can perform more detailed and precise measurements on the same wafer after wafer thinning is completed. The number of measurement points collected is large and the sampling resolution is high, which can provide more accurate TTV values.
[0029] Furthermore, the high-low resolution mapping model can be trained using the relationship between the two measurement results to learn how to map the low-resolution TTV value measured online to the high-resolution FRT measurement value. For example, the initial TTV value can be input into the high-low resolution mapping model, and the high-low resolution mapping model can output a virtual high-precision and high-resolution TTV value based on the previously learned mapping relationship. The virtual TTV value can be closer to the real high-precision measurement result, which helps to more accurately evaluate and control the flatness of the wafer during the production process.
[0030] Step 202: The initial TTV value and the virtual TTV value are concatenated and input into a TTV compensation model to obtain a corrected TTV value.
[0031] The initial TTV value is low-resolution data obtained by the online TTV measurement module, and the virtual TTV value is high-resolution data obtained by mapping the initial TTV value through the high-low resolution mapping model. The two TTV values are spliced together to form a more comprehensive input vector.
[0032] It should be noted that the TTV compensation model can adopt a neural network architecture, and optimize the model parameters by using a loss function such as mean square error through forward propagation and back propagation algorithms. During the training process, the TTV compensation model can continuously adjust the weights and biases to minimize the difference between the predicted value and the actual FRT measurement value.
[0033] The spliced initial TTV value and the virtual TTV value are input into the trained TTV compensation model, which can output a corrected TTV value. The corrected TTV value can be closer to the real high-precision FRT measurement result, which helps to more accurately evaluate and control the flatness of the wafer during the production process.
[0034] In this embodiment, the method can make the online measurement result closer to the actual high-precision FRT measurement result.
[0035] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the TTV value measured online can be mapped through the high-resolution and low-resolution mapping models to obtain a high-resolution virtual TTV value. The high-resolution virtual TTV value and the low-resolution TTV value are spliced, and the initial TTV value and the virtual TTV value are spliced and input into the TTV compensation model. The TTV compensation model combines these data and outputs a corrected TTV value.
[0036] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, training the TTV compensation model includes the following steps: Step 401: Establishing a TTV compensation model based on a neural network; Collect online TTV measurement values and FRT measurement values of the same wafer. These measured TTV value data can be used to train the TTV compensation model. Furthermore, to build the TTV compensation model, the data needs to be cleaned and normalized, and divided into training sets and test sets. Select a suitable neural network architecture, such as a multilayer perceptron or a convolutional neural network, define the number of neurons in the input layer, hidden layer, and output layer, select the activation function and loss function, and use the optimization algorithm to adjust the model parameters so that the corrected TTV value output by the TTV compensation model is as close to the actual FRT measurement value as possible. After training, the test set can be used to evaluate the performance of the TTV compensation model, and the TTV compensation model can be adjusted and optimized if necessary.
[0037] Step 402: splicing the first resolution data and the second resolution data of the same wafer to obtain spliced data; wherein, for the same wafer, the first resolution data at least includes the TTV value measured by the online TTV measurement module, and the second resolution data at least includes the TTV value measured by the FRT measurement device; The first resolution data includes at least the TTV value measured by the online TTV measurement module. These data are acquired in real time during the thinning process. The number of measurement points is small and the sampling resolution is low. They are mainly used to quickly detect the flatness of the wafer. The second resolution data includes at least the TTV value measured by the FRT measurement equipment. These data are obtained by more detailed and precise measurement of the same wafer after the wafer thinning is completed. The number of measurement points is large and the sampling resolution is high. It can provide more accurate and detailed wafer flatness information.
[0038] By stitching the data of these two resolutions, we can combine the advantages of both, taking advantage of the real-time nature of online measurement and the high precision of FRT measurement, providing a richer and more comprehensive data basis for subsequent analysis and modeling. For example, the low-resolution TTV value measured online and the high-resolution TTV value measured by FRT can be matched and stitched according to the unique identification (wafer ID) of the wafer to form a complete data set for training the TTV compensation model, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the TTV compensation model.
[0039] Step 403: Using the spliced data as input of an initial TTV compensation model, using the TTV value in the second resolution data used for splicing as output, and training the TTV compensation model.
[0040] The spliced data is input into the TTV compensation model, and the high-precision second resolution data, that is, the TTV value measured by FRT, is used as the target output. Furthermore, by adjusting the parameters of the TTV compensation model, the TTV compensation model can learn how to relate the low-resolution online measurement value to the high-resolution FRT measurement value, and then output a more accurate corrected TTV value based on the initial TTV value and the virtual TTV value measured online, so that it is closer to the real high-precision FRT measurement result.
[0041] In this embodiment, the method establishes a TTV compensation model so that the initial TTV value measured online can be supplemented by the model to generate a high-precision FRT measurement result close to the actual value, which helps to more accurately evaluate and control the flatness of the wafer.
[0042] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, determining the high and low resolution mapping models includes the following steps: Step 501: Establish an encoder f for converting second resolution data to first resolution data, and establish a decoder g for converting first resolution data to second resolution data; The second resolution data may refer to the TTV values of high resolution and multiple measurement points collected by the FRT measurement equipment. The first resolution data refers to the TTV values of low resolution and a small number of measurement points collected by the online TTV measurement module.
[0043] The role of the encoder f can be to convert the high-resolution second resolution data into low-resolution first resolution data. This can be achieved by downsampling, feature extraction, or dimensionality reduction of the high-resolution data. Exemplarily, the convolution layer or pooling layer in the neural network can be used to extract the main features of the high-resolution data and map it to the low-resolution space. Further, the encoder f can learn how to extract key information from the high-resolution data and represent it in the form of low-resolution data.
[0044] Decoder g is to convert the low-resolution first-resolution data back to high-resolution second-resolution data. This process is relatively complex and requires upsampling, deconvolution or other generative methods to restore the high-resolution details of the data. For example, the deconvolution layer or pixel shuffle operation in the neural network can be used to gradually enlarge the low-resolution data and fill in the details to make it close to the original high-resolution data. Among them, the goal of decoder g is to reconstruct the high-resolution data as accurately as possible while retaining the main features in the low-resolution data.
[0045] Step 502: Train an encoder f and a decoder g based on the first resolution data and the second resolution data of the same wafer, and obtain a high-low resolution mapping model based on the trained encoder f and decoder g.
[0046] After sufficient training, the encoder f can learn how to extract key information from high-resolution data and map it to low-resolution space, while the decoder g can recover the details of high-resolution data from low-resolution data. Combining the trained encoder f and decoder g can form a high-low resolution mapping model. That is, after obtaining the low-resolution TTV value measured online, the high-low resolution mapping model can be used to convert the low-resolution TTV value into a virtual high-resolution TTV value.
[0047] For example, for the first resolution data and the second resolution data of the same wafer, a data mapping model between high and low resolutions can be constructed. Assume that the first resolution data has The data is .
[0048] The second resolution data has indivual, ,exist For this wafer, the first resolution data has few points and belongs to low-dimensional samples; the second resolution data has many points and belongs to high-dimensional samples. For the mapping management between high- and low-dimensional samples, establish arrive Encoder f , and reverse training arrive Decoder g , and obtain high and low resolution mapping models.
[0049] Furthermore, the encoder g and TTV compensation model in the trained high- and low-resolution mapping model are extracted to form an online low-resolution TTV correction model. As encoder input, obtain virtual high-dimensional input ,by and Input into the compensation model to obtain the corrected TTV value.
[0050] In this embodiment, the trained encoder and decoder can accurately convert low-resolution online measurement data into high-resolution virtual FRT measurement data, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of online measurement and making it closer to the actual high-precision FRT measurement results.
[0051] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, it mainly includes encoder f, decoder g and TTV compensation model. High-resolution data is converted into low-resolution data by encoder f, and decoder g restores low-resolution data to high-resolution data. Encoder f and decoder g are trained based on high-resolution data and low-resolution data of the same wafer, and a high-low resolution mapping model is obtained based on the trained encoder f and decoder g.
[0052] In one embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, training the prediction model includes the following steps: Step 701: obtaining sample characteristics of a sample wafer, wherein for any sample wafer, the sample characteristics include environmental characteristic data, TTV angle parameters and TTV values; For any sample wafer, its sample characteristics include environmental characteristic data, TTV angle parameters and TTV values. Among them, the environmental characteristic data may include various process parameters in the wafer thinning process, such as temperature, pressure, rotation speed, etc. The process parameters have an important influence on the thinning effect of the wafer. The TTV angle parameter can affect the thinning thickness and surface flatness of the wafer. The TTV value may refer to the initial TTV value and the final high-precision TTV value measured by the online TTV measurement module and the FRT measurement equipment respectively, and the more accurate wafer flatness data obtained after correction by the TTV compensation model. These data together constitute the sample characteristics of the sample wafer. By analyzing and modeling the sample characteristics of the sample wafer, the TTV of the wafer can be more accurately predicted and controlled, the thinning process can be optimized, and the product quality can be improved.
[0053] Step 702: construct a prediction model based on sample characteristics; Collect historical sample features of multiple sample wafers, organize and preprocess these sample feature data, including data cleaning, normalization, feature selection and other operations to ensure data quality and consistency. Furthermore, a suitable algorithm can be selected to build a prediction model, and the environmental feature data and TTV angle parameters in the sample features are used as input variables, and the corrected TTV value is used as the target output variable. By adjusting the parameters of the prediction model, the prediction model can learn the mapping relationship between the input variables and the output variables. Furthermore, after the prediction model training is completed, a part of the sample data that did not participate in the training can be used to verify and test the prediction model to evaluate the accuracy and generalization ability of the prediction model, such as by calculating the root mean square error, mean absolute error and other indicators to measure the prediction performance of the prediction model.
[0054] For example, based on the sample characteristics of the sample wafer and the corrected TTV value, a wafer thinning TTV prediction model is established. The constructed prediction model can be a model .in, is the eigenvector, is the target variable, is the model parameter.
[0055] Step 703: Introduce the L1 regularization coefficient to shrink the coefficients of non-correlated feature data in the prediction model; The training process of the prediction model is based on a large amount of sample feature data. Among the sample feature data, some sample feature data are closely related to the TTV value and are the key factors affecting the TTV value; while some sample feature data have little relationship with the TTV value, or even have no direct correlation, that is, non-correlated feature data.
[0056] The L1 regularization coefficient can refer to adding a penalty term to the loss function so that the prediction model tends to shrink the coefficients of these non-correlated feature data to zero during the training process. Features that do not contribute significantly to the prediction of the TTV value will be automatically excluded from the prediction model, thereby achieving the purpose of feature selection. For example, during the training of the prediction model, if a certain environmental feature data (such as temperature) has a negligible effect on the TTV value, after the introduction of L1 regularization, the coefficient corresponding to the temperature feature will be shrunk to zero (without affecting the effect of the prediction model), and the temperature feature will no longer participate in the prediction calculation of the prediction model.
[0057] Step 704: introducing an L2 regularization term to limit the weight of feature data; The L2 regularization term adds a penalty term proportional to the sum of the squares of the feature data weights to the loss function, which makes the prediction model tend to reduce the absolute value of the weight during the training process. The weights of features that have a smaller impact on the prediction of the TTV value will be further reduced, thereby reducing interference with the output of the prediction model. For example, during the training of the prediction model, if a certain environmental feature data (such as pressure) has a relatively small impact on the TTV value, after the L2 regularization term is introduced, the weight corresponding to the pressure feature will be limited to a smaller range to avoid excessive impact on the output of the prediction model.
[0058] Step 505: Use the gradient descent method to train the prediction model to gradually adjust the parameters of the prediction model.
[0059] Gradient descent is an iterative optimization algorithm. Its core idea is to calculate the gradient of the loss function with respect to the parameters of the prediction model and update the parameters in the opposite direction of the gradient, thereby gradually reducing the value of the loss function and making the prediction results of the prediction model closer to the actual value. During the training process, a suitable loss function, such as mean square error (MSE), is defined to measure the difference between the TTV value predicted by the prediction model and the actual TTV value. Further, the parameters of the prediction model are initialized, usually using random initialization or zero initialization. The sample features in the training data set are input into the prediction model, the prediction output of the prediction model is calculated, and the loss value under the current parameters is calculated according to the loss function. The gradient of the loss function for each parameter is calculated by the back propagation algorithm, and the parameters of the prediction model are updated according to the learning rate and the gradient value. This process is repeated many times until the value of the loss function converges to a smaller range or the preset maximum number of iterations is reached.
[0060] Using the gradient descent method to train the prediction model can effectively optimize the model parameters and improve the prediction accuracy and stability of the prediction model. For example, in the prediction model of wafer thinning, adjusting the parameters by the gradient descent method can enable the prediction model to more accurately capture the complex relationship between environmental feature data and TTV angle parameters and TTV values.
[0061] Exemplarily, a training data set is collected, which contains an input feature vector x and a target variable y. A loss function J(β) is defined, which is usually composed of a data fitting error term and a regularization term, such as L1 and L2 regularization terms, to prevent overfitting and improve the stability of the prediction model. The form of the loss function is: .
[0062] Where m is the number of samples, y i is the true value of the i-th sample, x i is the feature vector of the i-th sample, β is the model parameter, λ 1 and λ 2 is the regularization coefficient.
[0063] The training process is to initialize the model coefficient β, usually using a zero vector. Iterate over all coefficients β and convert each coefficient β j As variables, lock other coefficients to the results of the previous calculation and treat them as constants to find β under the current conditions j The optimal solution. At the kth iteration, the weight coefficient is updated Need to meet: .
[0064] In each iteration, the loss function is calculated with respect to each parameter β j The gradient of involves calculating the derivative of the data fitting error and the derivative of the regularization term: .
[0065] Update each parameter β according to the gradient value j , so that it gradually approaches the optimal value. Repeat the above process until the value of the loss function converges to a stable state or reaches the preset maximum number of iterations.
[0066] In this embodiment, the method can effectively remove the interference of non-correlated features, simplify the prediction model structure, limit feature weights, avoid overfitting, and improve the stability and generalization ability of the prediction model through the combination of L1 regularization and L2 regularization. The trained prediction model can more accurately predict the TTV value of the wafer based on the input environmental feature data and TTV angle parameters.
[0067] In one embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the optimization of TTV angle parameters includes the following steps: Step 801: Determine the value range of the TTV angle parameter; According to the physical limitations and process requirements of the wafer thinning equipment, the maximum and minimum values of the TTV angle parameters in actual operation can be clearly defined. The physical limitations can be provided by the manufacturer to ensure the safe operation of the physical limitations and the stability of the process. For example, the angle adjustment mechanism of the grinding disc may only be physically adjusted within a certain range. Exceeding this range may cause damage to the equipment or malfunction.
[0068] Different wafer materials and thinning targets may require different angle settings, and process requirements are derived from actual production experience and a large amount of experimental data. You can also refer to historical data and actual production experience to further refine and adjust the theoretical value range to ensure that in actual applications, the value of the TTV angle parameter can meet both the physical limitations of the equipment and the optimization requirements of the process, thereby providing a reliable basis for subsequent model optimization and process parameter adjustment.
[0069] Step 802: traverse the parameter grid within the value range, and for each parameter combination in the parameter grid, use the prediction model to calculate the TTV value; the TTV angle parameter includes a first angle parameter of the first support leg and a second angle parameter of the second support leg, and the parameter combination consists of the first angle parameter and the second angle parameter; The TTV angle parameter includes a first angle parameter of the first support leg (the first angle parameter may be ) and a second angle parameter of the second support foot (the second angle parameter may be ). The parameter combination may consist of a first angle parameter and a second angle parameter.
[0070] Determine the physical limitations of the equipment and process requirements and The value range of The range can be [0°,10°], The range of can be [5°,15°]. The scope and The range of is divided into multiple equally spaced values to generate a parameter grid. For example, The range is divided into 0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°, 10°. The range is divided into 5°, 8°, 11°, and 14°. The parameter grid will contain 6×4=24 groups of different parameter combinations.
[0071] Step 803: In the traversal parameter grid, select the parameter combination that minimizes the TTV value as the optimal TTV angle parameter.
[0072] For example, suppose that at a certain grid point, the parameter combination ( =5°, =10°) corresponds to a TTV value of 2.0. At another grid point, the parameter combination ( =6°, =12°) corresponds to a TTV value of 1.8, the latter may be a better parameter combination.
[0073] In this embodiment, by comparing the TTV values of all combinations, the parameter combination with the smallest TTV value is selected as the optimal solution. This method can fully cover possible parameter combinations, avoid missing the optimal solution, and improve process accuracy and product quality.

As the core equipment of industrial automation, PLC can monitor and control the operating status of the equipment in real time. During the wafer thinning process, the PLC module is responsible for collecting various process parameters inside the equipment, such as temperature, pressure, speed, feed rate, etc. The process parameters can be measured by the sensors inside the equipment. The PLC module converts these analog signals into digital signals and transmits them to the data storage server or control system through the TCP / IP protocol to realize real-time monitoring and data recording of the equipment's operating status.

Time series feature extraction, time series noise reduction, and feature extraction after frequency domain transformation are performed on multimodal data to convert multi-source data into structured data. A TTV correction model is established using online measurement and FRT high-resolution measurement data in historical data. According to the surface result of the wafer, the corrected TTV prediction value is used as the TTV value of the surface result. When the processing TTV of the wafer is within the specification, the current process is maintained to continue production when processing the next wafer. When the processing TTV of the wafer exceeds the specification, the TTV angle adjustment value is obtained by optimization control.

The IPG thickness measurement and online TTV measurement modules obtain the thickness and TTV value of the wafer in real time during the thinning process, and these data are used together with the process parameters to dynamically adjust the thinning process. Among them, IPG thickness measurement refers to the real-time measurement of the thickness of the wafer using integrated process thickness measurement technology during the wafer thinning process. FRT measurement is performed after the wafer thinning is completed, providing high-precision flatness data for final quality assessment and model training.
