Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of visual inspection, and in particular to an inspection platform and a method for detecting wafer defects. Background Art
[0002] Wafers, the fundamental material for semiconductor chip manufacturing, are typically made of semiconductor materials such as silicon. During the manufacturing process, the wafer surface undergoes multiple process steps, including photolithography, etching, and deposition, to form complex circuit patterns and structures. Due to the complexity of the manufacturing process and the influence of environmental factors, the wafer surface is prone to various defects and flaws, such as scratches, particle contamination, open circuits, and short circuits. These defects can affect chip performance and reliability, necessitating rigorous testing and screening.
[0003] Visual inspection is an inspection method based on optical imaging and image processing technology. In wafer manufacturing, visual inspection is primarily used to detect and classify defects and flaws on the wafer surface. A visual inspection system typically includes optical imaging equipment, image processing algorithms, and computers. Optical imaging equipment is used to capture images of the wafer surface, while image processing algorithms are used to process and analyze the images and extract feature information from them. The computer runs the algorithms and displays the inspection results. Visual inspection offers the advantages of being non-contact, highly precise, and highly efficient. It enables rapid inspection and classification of wafer surfaces without damaging the wafer, making it an essential component of the wafer manufacturing process.
[0004] Chinese patent application CN114384088A discloses a multi-wafer inspection device, comprising a plurality of wafer inspection device bodies for inspecting wafers, and an inspection platform. The wafer inspection device bodies are arranged on the inspection platform, and the inspection platform is provided with an inspection box for holding wafers to be inspected and an inspected box for holding inspected wafers. The inspected box is provided with a partition plate for dividing the interior of the inspected box into a space for qualified products and a space for unqualified products, thereby improving the inspection efficiency of the wafers.
[0005] Chinese patent application CN114609148A discloses a wafer inspection device, including a camera for capturing an optical image of a wafer; a lens barrel connected to the camera; a lens group arranged in the lens barrel and used to form an image transmission light path between the camera and the wafer; a bright field illumination component connected to the lens barrel and used to form a bright field illumination light path inside the lens barrel to illuminate the wafer; a dark field illumination component used to form a dark field illumination light path outside the lens barrel to illuminate the wafer; a switching component arranged in the lens barrel and capable of moving to the image transmission light path so that the camera can capture the optical image of the wafer when illuminated by the bright field illumination component, and the switching component can be moved away from the image transmission light path so that the camera can capture the optical image of the wafer when illuminated by the dark field illumination component. Only one lens barrel is needed to simultaneously meet the bright field environment detection and dark field environment detection of the wafer, and the structure is simple and the working efficiency is high.

[0044] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0045] Example 1: Reference Figures 1-10 The inspection platform shown includes an inspection box 1, a visual inspection sensor 2 is provided in the inspection box 1, and two storage boxes 3 are provided on the inspection box 1. The storage boxes 3 include a support frame 31 and a box cover 32. The support frame 31 can store a plurality of wafers.
[0046] The detection box 1 is provided with a vertical pushing component 4 and a horizontal pushing component 5. The vertical pushing component 4 can push the box cover 32 and the support frame 31 downward out of the storage box 3, and the horizontal pushing component 5 can push out the wafer in the corresponding support frame 31;
[0047] A clamping and moving assembly 6 is also provided in the detection box 1, and the clamping and moving assembly 6 clamps the wafer and moves it to the position of the visual detection sensor 2;
[0048] The detection box 1 is a closed setting and an air purifier is installed inside;
[0049] The storage box 3 further includes a box body 33 and a return spring 34 . The bottom of the box body 33 is opened, and the return spring 34 presses the box cover 32 onto the box body 33 .
[0050] The wafer is stored in the support frame 31, and the box cover 32 closes the box body 33 to make the storage box 3 in a closed state. The storage box 3 is placed in the position of the vertical pushing component 4 corresponding to the detection box 1. The vertical pushing component 4 drives the box cover 32 and the support frame 31 to push downward, so that the wafer in the support frame 31 moves to the position of the horizontal pushing component 5. The horizontal pushing component 5 moves the wafer to the position of the clamping moving component 6. The clamping moving component 6 clamps the wafer and moves the wafer to the position of the visual detection sensor 2. The visual detection sensor 2 detects the wafer. After the detection is completed, the vertical pushing component 4 pushes the box cover 32 and the support frame 31 to continue to move downward, and moves the next wafer to the position corresponding to the horizontal pushing component 5.
[0051] The storage box 3 and the inspection box 1 are both in a closed state, and the wafers are arranged in the storage box 3 so that the wafers will not collide with each other during the transfer process. At the same time, the wafers will not come into contact with the external environment during the transfer and inspection process, preventing dust and impurities from contacting the wafers during the transfer and inspection process, thereby ensuring the quality of the wafers. When the storage box 3 is placed on the inspection box 1, the box cover 32 and the wafers can be pushed down, the storage box 3 can be opened to connect with the inspection box 1, and the wafers can be pushed into the inspection box 1 for inspection, which reduces the operation of manual loading and unloading and is more convenient to use. During loading and unloading, the wafers will also not come into contact with the external environment, thereby preventing the wafers from being contaminated and ensuring quality.
[0052] Example 2, reference Figures 1-10 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the storage box 3 also includes a fixed block, a fixed frame 35, a sliding cylinder 36 and a sliding rod 37.

[0053] When the vertical pushing component 4 pushes the box cover 32 to move downward, the box cover 32 drives the sliding rod 37 to move in the sliding cylinder 36, making the box cover 32 more stable and not easy to shake. The box cover 32 and the fixed frame 35 move synchronously, and the fixed frame 35 squeezes the reset spring 34 to store force in the reset spring 34. When the storage box 3 is removed from the detection box 1, the reset spring 34 resets and drives the fixed frame 35 to move upward. The fixed frame 35 drives the box cover 32 to move upward, so that the box cover 32 is against the box body 33, and the storage box 3 is closed.
[0054] Example 3, reference Figures 1-10 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the horizontal pushing component 5 includes a horizontal pushing cylinder 51 and a horizontal pushing block 52.

[0057] The vertical push motor 41 drives the vertical push screw 42 to rotate, and the vertical push screw 42 drives the vertical push block 43 to move. The vertical limit plate 44 limits the vertical push block 43 from rotating. The vertical push block 43 pushes the fixed frame 35 to move downward, and the fixed frame 35 drives the box cover 32 to move downward.
[0058] Example 5, with reference to Figures 1-10As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the clamping moving assembly 6 includes a moving motor 61, a moving screw 62, a moving block 63, a clamping cylinder 64, a clamping block 65 and a moving limit plate 66. The moving motor 61 is fixedly installed in the detection box 1, the moving screw 62 is rotatably connected in the detection box 1, the moving screw 62 is fixedly installed at the output end of the moving motor 61, the moving block 63 is sleeved on the moving screw 62 and is threadedly connected to the moving screw 62, the clamping cylinder 64 is fixedly installed on the moving block 63, the clamping block 65 is fixedly installed at the output end of the clamping cylinder 64, the clamping block 65 is arranged in an arc shape, the moving limit plate 66 is fixedly installed in the detection box 1, a moving groove is opened on the moving limit plate 66, and the moving block 63 slides in the moving groove.
[0059] The clamping cylinder 64 drives the clamping block 65 to move, and two groups of clamping moving components 6 are set. The two clamping blocks 65 clamp the wafer on the horizontal conveyor belt 54. The moving motor 61 drives the moving screw 62 to move. The moving block 63 moves on the moving screw 62. The moving limit plate 66 limits the moving block 63 and prevents it from rotating. The moving block 63 drives the clamping cylinder 64 and the clamping block 65 to move. The clamping block 65 drives the wafer to move and moves the wafer to the position of the visual detection sensor 2. The visual detection sensor 2 detects the wafer.
[0060] Example 6, reference Figures 1-10 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the support frame 31 includes four columns and a plurality of spacers, the box cover 32 is fixedly mounted on the columns, and a plurality of spacers are fixedly mounted on the columns at equal intervals, and rubber pads are provided on both sides of the spacers.
[0061] When the box cover 32 moves downward, the box cover 32 drives the pillars to move, the pillars drive the spacers to move, and the spacers drive the wafers therebetween to move downward.
[0062] Example 7, reference Figures 1-10 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that two groups of vertical pushing components 4 and storage boxes 3 are provided on the detection box 1, and a horizontal pushing component 5 and a horizontal pushing component 8 are respectively provided on one side of the two groups of storage boxes 3.

The horizontal pushing block 82 is arranged in an arc shape.
[0063] One storage box 3 is full of wafers, and the other storage box 3 is set as an empty box. The vertical pushing component 4 pushes the wafer downward out of the storage box 3, and the horizontal pushing component 5 pushes the wafer out of the support frame 31. The clamping and moving component 6 clamps the wafer and moves it to the position of the visual detection sensor 2 for inspection. When the inspection is qualified, the clamping and moving component 6 drives the wafer to move above the horizontal pushing plate 83, and the clamping block 65 releases the clamp of the wafer, and the wafer falls on the horizontal pushing plate 83. The horizontal pushing cylinder 51 drives the horizontal pushing block 52 to move, and the horizontal pushing block 52 pushes the wafer into the corresponding storage box 3. When the qualified wafer is transferred away, it is ensured that the wafer is not released from the external environment, and it is ensured that the loading and unloading of the wafer will not be contaminated by the outside world during the inspection process.

Abutment blocks 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the box body 33, and a downward hole is opened on the detection box 1 corresponding to the position of the storage box 3, and the abutment blocks 11 are abutted against the detection box 1.
[0067] The guide bar 10 can prevent the wafer from moving on the horizontal push plate 83 and position it more accurately, so that it can accurately enter the corresponding storage box 3. The block 11 abuts against the inspection box 1, so that the box body 33 will not enter the inspection box 1 and abuts against the bottom of the inspection box 1 to close it, and the box cover 32 can be lowered.
