Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of visual inspection, and particularly to a detection platform and a method for detecting wafer defects. Background Art

[0002] A wafer is the basic material for manufacturing semiconductor chips, usually made of semiconductor materials such as silicon. During the manufacturing process, the wafer surface needs to go through multiple process steps such as lithography, etching, deposition, etc. to form complex circuit patterns and structures. Due to the complexity of the manufacturing process and the influence of environmental factors, various defects and flaws are likely to appear on the wafer surface, such as scratches, particle contamination, open circuit defects, short circuit defects, etc. These defects will affect the performance and reliability of the chips, so strict detection and screening are required.

[0003] Visual inspection is a detection method based on optical imaging and image processing technologies. In wafer manufacturing, visual inspection is mainly used to detect and classify defects and flaws on the wafer surface. A visual inspection system usually includes components such as an optical imaging device, an image processing algorithm, and a computer. The optical imaging device is used to obtain images of the wafer surface, the image processing algorithm is used to process and analyze the images, extract the feature information in the images, and the computer is used to run the algorithm and display the detection results. Visual inspection has the advantages of non-contact, high precision, high efficiency, etc., and can achieve rapid detection and classification of the wafer surface without damaging the wafer, which is an indispensable important link in the wafer manufacturing process.

[0004] Chinese Patent Application CN114384088A discloses a multi-wafer detection device, including a plurality of wafer detection device bodies for detecting wafers, and further including a detection table. The wafer detection device bodies are arranged on the detection table. The detection table is provided with a to-be-detected box for containing wafers to be detected and a detected box for containing wafers that have been detected. The detected box is provided with a partition plate for dividing the inside of the detected box into a qualified product space and an unqualified product space, which improves the detection efficiency of the wafers;
