Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wafer detection, and particularly to an on-line detection device for surface defects of semiconductor wafers. Background Art

[0002] A wafer refers to a silicon wafer used to fabricate silicon semiconductor circuits, and its raw material is silicon. High-purity polysilicon is dissolved and doped with a silicon crystal seed, and then slowly pulled out to form a cylindrical single-crystal silicon. After the silicon ingot is ground, polished, and sliced, a silicon wafer is formed, 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 a decline or failure in the performance of semiconductor devices. Therefore, they must be detected and processed in a timely manner during the production process.

[0003] The existing wafer surface detection platforms on the market transport the wafer to the detection position between the upper vision system and the lower vision system through a detection table, and can simultaneously image the front and back sides of the wafer, reducing the number of pick-and-place operations for the wafer and improving the wafer detection efficiency. However, during the use of the above device, in order for the detection table to hold the semiconductor wafer and at the same time image the front and back sides of the wafer, a carrier ring is installed on the detection table, and a groove is opened on the upper end surface of the carrier ring to ensure that the wafer can be embedded on the carrier ring through a negative pressure device. However, this means that the part of the wafer that fits with the carrier ring will be blocked by the carrier ring, and the vision detection system cannot image the part of the wafer that fits with the carrier ring, resulting in a lack of integrity in the detection of surface defects of the semiconductor wafer.

[0037] Embodiment 4: Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 8 , This embodiment further elaborates on Embodiment 1. A suction assembly is used to extract the gas inside the material loading assembly. The number of the suction assemblies is two groups and they are symmetrically distributed. The suction assembly includes two hard pipes 30 fixedly embedded between the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12. A strip-shaped groove 31 is opened on one side where the two hard pipes 30 are close to each other, and the strip-shaped groove 31 facilitates the gas to enter the inside of the hard pipes 30. Two symmetrically distributed collar rings 32 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the hard pipes 30, and the collar rings 32 are movably clamped with the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 through semi-circular embedded grooves 43 respectively. A block 33 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the collar ring 32, and the connection between the block 33 and the lower frame 12 is a plug-in connection. The collar ring 32 is clamped in the semi-circular embedded groove 43 on the lower frame 12 through the block 33, and can position the hard pipe 30.

[0038] A conduit 34 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the rigid tube 30 and is interconnected with it. One end of the conduit 34 away from the rigid tube 30 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 35. A piston 36 is movably embedded inside the sleeve 35. A connecting rod 37 is fixedly embedded at the center of the rear end of the piston 36. One end of the connecting rod 37 located outside the sleeve 35 is fixedly connected to a dial plate 38. The connection between the dial plate 38 and the connecting block 8 is a movable abutment. During the backward movement of the connecting block 8, it can abut against the dial plate 38 to drive the piston 36 to move backward inside the sleeve 35. During the backward movement of the piston 36 inside the sleeve 35, the gas between the two high-transparency films 15 can be pumped out through the conduit 34 and the rigid tube 30.

[0039] A telescopic rod 39 is fixedly installed on the side of the dial plate 38 away from the connecting rod 37. The rear end of the telescopic rod 39 is fixedly connected to the machine cover 2. A second spring 40 is movably sleeved outside 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 dial plate 38. A bent guide rod 41 is fixedly installed inside the machine cover 2 corresponding to the upper side of the conduit 34. A plurality of sleeve buckles 42 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the conduit 34 and are equidistantly distributed. The sleeve buckles 42 are movably sleeved outside the bent guide rod 41. The bent guide rod 41 can hang the conduit 34 through the plurality of sleeve buckles 42 to prevent the conduit 34 from being wound around other structures.

[0040] Working principle: When detecting a semiconductor wafer, the operator first places the semiconductor wafer in the middle of the high-transparency film 15 on the lower frame 12. Then, the electric push rod 9 is controlled to operate. The electric push rod 9 drives the sliding seat 6, the loading component and the semiconductor wafer into the interior of the machine cover 2 through the connecting block 8. During the movement of the loading component along with the sliding seat 6, the bent supporting rod 44 will first come into sliding contact with the lower frame 12 to block the downward movement of the lower frame 12. Then, the arc-shaped pressing rod 20 will drive the upper frame 11 to rotate and close through its arc part and a plurality of second balls 21, so that the high-transparency 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 effectively prevent the wafer from shifting during the detection by the first detection probe 3 and the second detection probe 4, affecting the detection result. And since the high-transparency film 15 is cut from a PDMS film, the high-transparency film 15 has high light transmittance and good elasticity and resilience performance, so that the fitting of the high-transparency film 15 with the semiconductor wafer will not hinder the imaging of the first detection probe 3 and the second detection probe 4, 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 a displacement mechanism (the displacement mechanism is a publicly available technology and will not be elaborated here).

[0041] After the inspection of the semiconductor wafer is completed, the electric push rod 9 drives the loading assembly to move out from the inside 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 break away from the bent support rod 44. When the personnel removes the semiconductor wafer after the inspection, since the semiconductor wafer is thin and brittle, and the high-transmittance film 15 is elastic, when the personnel presses one side of the wafer to tilt the wafer, the high-transmittance film 15 will still fit with the wafer, and when sliding the semiconductor wafer, 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 bend 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 bend. The semiconductor wafer is supported by the support block 24, so that the edge of the semiconductor wafer can be quickly separated from the high-transmittance film 15, thereby facilitating the quick removal of 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 interior of the machine cover 2, the connecting block 8 will press against the shift plate 38 and drive the piston 36 to move backward in the sleeve 35 through the shift plate 38. At this time, the interior 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 dial 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 embedded block 33 on the outside of the hard tube 30 into the corresponding semicircular embedded groove 43 on the lower frame 12.
