Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of wafer detection technology, in particular to an online detection device for semiconductor wafer surface defects. Background Art

[0002] Wafer refers to the silicon wafer used to make silicon semiconductor circuits, and its original material is silicon. High-purity polycrystalline silicon is dissolved and doped with silicon crystal seeds, and then slowly pulled out to form cylindrical single crystal silicon. After grinding, polishing, and slicing, the silicon crystal rod forms a silicon wafer, that is, a wafer. After the semiconductor wafer is processed, it is necessary to detect whether there are defects such as cracks and scratches on the surface of the wafer. These defects may cause the performance of semiconductor devices to deteriorate or fail, so they must be discovered and handled in time during the production process.

[0003] The existing wafer surface inspection platforms on the market use an inspection table to transport the wafer to the inspection position between the upper visual system and the lower visual system, and can simultaneously image the front and back sides of the wafer, reducing the number of wafer placements and picking up times and improving wafer inspection efficiency. However, during the use of the above-mentioned device, in order for the inspection table to be able to hold semiconductor wafers while also being able to image both the front and back sides of the wafer, a carrier ring is installed on the inspection table, and a groove is provided on the upper end face of the carrier ring to ensure that the wafer can be embedded in the carrier ring through a negative pressure device. However, this means that the portion where the wafer fits the carrier ring will be blocked by the carrier ring, and the visual inspection system cannot image the portion where the wafer fits the carrier ring, resulting in a lack of completeness in the detection of surface defects on semiconductor wafers. ‌‌ Summary of the invention

During the process of the loading assembly entering the interior of the hood 2, the bent support rod 44 is used to prevent the lower frame 12 from moving downward.

[0035] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7This embodiment further explains the first embodiment. A support assembly for supporting the support block 13 is installed inside the support column 7. The support assembly includes a gasket 22 that is movably abutted against the lower end surface of the support block 13. A first spring 23 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the gasket 22.

[0037] Example 4: Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 8 , this embodiment further explains the first embodiment, the suction assembly is used to extract the gas inside the loading assembly, the number of the suction assemblies is two groups, and they are symmetrically distributed, the suction assembly includes two hard tubes 30 fixedly embedded between the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12, the two hard tubes 30 are close to each other and have a strip groove 31 on one side, the strip groove 31 facilitates the gas to enter the inside of the hard tube 30, the outer side of the hard tube 30 is fixedly sleeved with two symmetrically distributed rings 32, and the rings 32 are movably connected to the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 through semicircular embedding grooves 43, the lower end of the ring 32 is fixedly installed with an embedding block 33, and the connection between the embedding block 33 and the lower frame 12 is a plug-in connection, the ring 32 is stuck in the semicircular embedding groove 43 on the lower frame 12 through the embedding block 33, so as to position the hard tube 30.

[0038] A conduit 34 that is interconnected with the hard tube 30 is fixedly installed at the rear end thereof, and a sleeve 35 is fixedly connected to one end of the conduit 34 away from the hard tube 30, and a piston 36 is movably embedded inside the sleeve 35, and a connecting rod 37 is fixedly embedded at the rear end center of the piston 36, and a paddle 38 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 37 located outside the sleeve 35, and the paddle 38 is connected to the connecting block 8 in a movable abutment manner. When the connecting block 8 moves backward, it can abut against the paddle 38 to drive the piston 36 to move backward in the sleeve 35, and when the piston 36 moves backward in the sleeve 35, it can extract the gas between the two high-transmittance films 15 through the conduit 34 and the hard tube 30.

[0039] A telescopic rod 39 is fixedly installed on the side of the paddle plate 38 away from the connecting rod 37, and the rear end of the telescopic rod 39 is connected to the hood 2 in a fixed manner. A second spring 40 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rod 39. The telescopic rod 39 is used to prevent the second spring 40 from bending. The second spring 40 can drive the piston 36 to move back inside the sleeve 35 through the paddle plate 38. A bending guide rod 41 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the corresponding conduit 34 inside the hood 2, and a plurality of buckles 42 distributed at equal distances are fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the conduit 34, and the buckle 42 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the bending guide rod 41. The bending guide rod 41 can hang the conduit 34 through the plurality of buckles 42 to prevent the conduit 34 from being entangled on other structures.

[0040] Working principle: When testing semiconductor wafers, the personnel first place the semiconductor wafer in the middle of the high-transmittance film 15 on the lower frame 12, and then control the electric push rod 9 to operate. The electric push rod 9 drives the slide 6, the loading assembly and the semiconductor wafer to enter the interior of the machine cover 2 through the connecting block 8. In the process of the loading assembly moving with the slide 6, the bent support rod 44 will first slide in contact with the lower frame 12 to prevent the lower frame 12 from moving downward. Then the arc pressure rod 20 will drive the upper frame 11 to rotate and close through its curved portion and multiple second balls 21, so that the high-transmittance films 15 on the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 respectively clamp the upper and lower surfaces of the semiconductor wafer, which can have It can effectively prevent the wafer from being displaced and affecting the detection result during the detection of the semiconductor wafer by the first detection probe 3 and the second detection probe 4, and because the high-transmittance film 15 is made of PDMS film, the high-transmittance film 15 has high light transmittance and good elasticity and resilience, so that the high-transmittance film 15 and the semiconductor wafer are attached without hindering the first detection probe 3 and the second detection probe 4 from taking images, which is beneficial for the first detection probe 3 and the second detection probe 4 to completely detect the semiconductor wafer. During the detection process, the first detection probe 3 and the second detection probe 4 can adjust their positions through the displacement mechanism (the displacement mechanism belongs to the existing public technology and will not be described here).

[0041] After the semiconductor wafer inspection is completed, the electric push rod 9 drives the loading assembly to move out of the machine cover 2. During this process, the upper frame 11 will automatically rotate and open under the drive of the coil spring 18. When the loading mechanism moves to the loading and unloading station, the lower frame 12 will be separated from the bent support rod 44. When the personnel remove the semiconductor wafer after the inspection, because the semiconductor wafer is thin and brittle, and the high-transmittance film 15 is elastic, when the personnel press one side of the wafer to tilt the wafer, the high-transmittance film 15 will still fit with the wafer, and when the semiconductor wafer is slid, the edge of the wafer will be blocked by the lower frame 12, so it is inconvenient to directly remove the wafer from the high-transmittance film 15. Therefore, at this time, the personnel can press the lower frame 12 to make the lower frame 12 drive the high-transmittance film 15 to move downward (according to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a bending portion is provided between the conduit 34 and the first buckle 42, so that the hard tube 30 can move downward with the lower frame 12 through the bending portion. The semiconductor wafer is supported by the support block 24 so that the edge of the semiconductor wafer can quickly detach from the high-transmittance film 15, thereby facilitating and quickly removing the wafer on the high-transmittance film 15, and effectively avoiding damage to the semiconductor wafer.

[0042] When the loading assembly clamps the semiconductor wafer and enters the hood 2, the connecting block 8 will press against the paddle 38 and drive the piston 36 to move backward in the sleeve 35 through the paddle 38. At this time, the inside of the sleeve 35 will be in a negative pressure state, and the gas between the two high-transmittance membranes 15 will be sucked into the sleeve 35 through the hard tube 30 and the conduit 34, which can make the two high-transmittance membranes 15 fit tightly with the semiconductor wafer, thereby facilitating the edge of the semiconductor wafer to protrude more clearly, and facilitating the first detection probe 3 and the second detection probe 4 to detect the edge of the semiconductor wafer.

[0043] When the loading assembly needs to be replaced, the personnel first removes the hard tube 30 from the lower frame 12, and then moves the limit plate 26 through the shift block 29 to release the restriction of the limit plate 26 on the support block 13. At this time, the support block 13 can be easily moved out from the inside of the support column 7. After installing the new loading assembly, the personnel pushes the baffle 27 to move the limit plate 26 back and reset it. The magnetic block 28 positions the limit plate 26 by adsorbing the baffle 27, and then inserts the embedding block 33 on the outside of the hard tube 30 into the corresponding semicircular embedding groove 43 on the lower frame 12.
