[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 。This application embodiment provides a wafer detection mechanism, including: a camera 1, a carrying component 2, a first light source component 3, a second light source component 4 and a moving component 5.
[0028] Among them, the camera 1 is fixedly arranged. The carrying component 2 is used to carry the wafer 10 to be detected. The carrying component 2 is disposed below the camera 1. As Figure 2As shown in the figure, the carrier assembly 2 includes a horizontally arranged mounting plate 21 and a plurality of carrier blocks 22 movably arranged on the mounting plate 21. The mounting plate 21 is provided with a through hole 211, and the plurality of carrier blocks 22 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the through hole 211. The moving direction of the carrier block 22 is parallel to the radial direction F of the through hole 211. The carrier block 22 has an extended position and a retracted position. When the carrier block 22 is in the extended position, the minimum distance from the carrier block 22 to the center of the through hole 211 is less than the radius of the wafer 10 to be measured. At this time, the carrier block 22 can carry the wafer 10 to be measured. When the carrier block 22 is in the retracted position, the minimum distance from the carrier block 22 to the center of the through hole 211 is greater than the radius of the wafer 10 to be measured. At this time, the carrier block 22 is separated from the wafer 10 to be measured. The plurality of carrier blocks 22 are configured such that when there is a carrier block 22 in the retracted position, at least three carrier blocks 22 are in the extended position. The first light source assembly 3 is arranged above the carrier assembly 2. The second light source assembly 4 is arranged below the carrier assembly 2. The moving assembly 5 is connected to the mounting plate 21 and is used to drive the carrier assembly 2 to move in the first horizontal direction X and the second horizontal direction Y. The first horizontal direction X and the second horizontal direction Y are two mutually perpendicular directions in the horizontal plane, and both the first horizontal direction X and the second horizontal direction Y are perpendicular to the vertical direction Z.
[0029] The wafer detection mechanism provided by this embodiment is provided with a camera 1, a carrier assembly 2, a first light source assembly 3, a second light source assembly 4 and a moving assembly 5. Through the first light source assembly 3 above the carrier assembly 2 and the second light source assembly 4 below the carrier assembly 2, the upper and lower sides of the wafer 10 to be measured on the carrier assembly 2 can be illuminated, so that the image captured by the camera 1 can be clearer and the detection accuracy can be improved. By driving the carrier assembly 2 to move in the first horizontal direction X and the second horizontal direction Y through the moving assembly 5, different parts of the wafer 10 to be measured can pass through the bottom of the camera 1 in sequence, so as to realize the photographing and detection of all positions of the wafer 10 to be measured.
[0030] When the position where the wafer 10 to be measured contacts the carrier block 22 is moved directly below the camera 1, the carrier block 22 moves from the extended position to the retracted position along the radial direction F, so that the contact and carrying state with the wafer 10 to be measured changes to a separated state, and the carrying part will not block the second light source assembly 4. The camera 1 can capture a clear image of the wafer 10 to be measured without occlusion under the illumination of the first light source assembly 3 and the second light source assembly 4, so as to realize occlusion-free detection and improve the detection accuracy.
[0031] At the same time, since the plurality of carrier blocks 22 are configured such that when there is a carrier block 22 in the retracted position, at least three carrier blocks 22 are in the extended position, even if some carrier blocks 22 are in the retracted position in order to capture an unobstructed image, the other at least three carrier blocks 22 in the extended position can stably carry the wafer 10 to be measured, ensuring that the detection process can continue, and improving the detection efficiency.
[0032] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, a connecting block 23 is fixedly connected to a side of the bearing block 22 away from the center of the through hole 211, and a fixing block 24 and a guide member 25 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 21, and the guide member 25 extends along the radial direction F of the through hole 211. The connecting block 23 is slidably connected to the guide member 25. A spring 26 is provided between the connecting block 23 and the fixing block 24, and under the action of the spring 26, the bearing block 22 is in an extended position. The connecting block 23 is driven by an external force, so that the connecting block 23 moves along the guide member 25 in a direction away from the center of the through hole 211, and the spring 26 is compressed, so that the bearing block 22 can be in a retracted position. When the external force is removed, the compressed spring 26 will reset, and under the push of the spring 26, the bearing block 22 returns to the extended position.
[0033] Specifically, a limiter 27 is fixedly provided on the connection block 23, and the limiter 27 extends in a direction perpendicular to the radial direction F of the through hole 211. A vertically extending rotating shaft 28 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 21. A connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 28, and the rotating shaft 28 is approximately located at the center of the connecting rod 29, and the connecting rod 29 can rotate around the rotating shaft 28. One end of the connecting rod 29 abuts against a side of the limiter 27 close to the bearing block 22, and the other end is fixedly connected to the output end of the first driving member 210. The first driving member 210 is used to drive one end of the connecting rod 29 to move, so that the connecting rod 29 rotates, and the end of the connecting rod 29 abutting against the limiter 27 moves accordingly, so as to apply an external force to the connection block 23, thereby moving the bearing block 22 from the extended position to the retracted position. By driving the bearing block 22 in the manner of the first driving member 210 and the connecting rod 29, the space on the mounting plate 21 can be reasonably utilized.
[0034] Multiple first driving members 210 can be electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the moving component 5. In the process of the moving component 5 driving the supporting component 2 to move, when the contact position between the wafer 10 to be tested and the supporting block 22 is located directly below the camera 1, the first driving member 210 corresponding to the supporting block 22 is started, so that the supporting block 22 is retracted and separated from the wafer 10 to be tested; when the contact position between the wafer 10 to be tested and the supporting block 22 is not located directly below the camera 1, the first driving member 210 is reset, and the force of the connecting rod 29 on the limit member 27 is released. Under the reset force of the spring 26, the supporting block 22 returns to the extended position.
[0035] In this embodiment, an opening 212 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 21 in the first horizontal direction X, and the opening 212 is connected to the through hole 211. The opening 212 can reserve sufficient loading space for the robot, so that the robot can move the wafer 10 to be tested to the through hole 211 and place it on multiple supporting blocks 22.
[0036] Specifically, the number of the bearing blocks 22 is at least four. In a preferred embodiment, the number of the bearing blocks 22 is six. When one of the bearing blocks 22 moves to the position directly below the camera 1 and switches to the retracted position, the remaining five bearing blocks 22 can stably support the wafer 10 to be measured.
[0037] As Figure 3 shown, the six bearing blocks 22 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the through hole 211, and are symmetrically arranged both in the first horizontal direction X and in the second horizontal direction Y. Since the opening 212 is located on one side of the mounting plate 21 in the first horizontal direction X, two bearing blocks 22 are respectively located at both ends of the diameter of the through hole 211 extending along the second horizontal direction Y, and two bearing blocks 22 are located on both sides of the opening 212. The included angle between the center lines of two adjacent bearing blocks 22 and the center of the through hole 211 is 60°.
[0038] Preferably, the moving directions of the output ends of the plurality of first driving members 210 are all parallel to the second horizontal direction Y, which is convenient for the layout and control of the plurality of first driving members 210.
[0039] As Figure 4 shown, the bottom of the bearing block 22 is provided with a bearing surface 221 for bearing the wafer 10 to be measured. The bearing surface 221 is horizontally arranged, and the bearing surfaces 221 of the plurality of bearing blocks 22 are located in the same plane. One end of the bearing surface 221 facing the center of the through hole 211 is connected with an inclined surface 222. The inclined surface 222 is not higher than the bearing surface 221, and this inclined surface 222 can prevent the right-angle edge of the bearing surface 221 from scratching and damaging the wafer 10 to be measured.
[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the wafer detection mechanism further includes a horizontally arranged fixing plate 6 and a support frame 7 fixedly connected above the fixing plate 6. The wafer detection mechanism can be installed on a specific working surface through the fixing plate 6. The camera 1 is fixedly connected to the support frame 7, which can avoid the vibration caused by movement and ensure the detection accuracy. The bearing assembly 2 is slidably connected to the fixing plate 6 through the moving assembly 5.
[0041] Specifically, as Figure 5As shown in the figure, the moving component 5 includes two first slide rails 51, a connecting plate 52, a second driving member 53, a second slide rail 54 and a third driving member 55. The two first slide rails 51 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed plate 6. The first slide rail 51 extends along the first horizontal direction X. The two first slide rails 51 are spaced apart in the second horizontal direction Y. The connecting plate 52 is slidably connected to the two first slide rails 51. The second driving member 53 is connected to the connecting plate 52 and is used to drive the connecting plate 52 to move along the first horizontal direction X. The second slide rail 54 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 52. The second slide rail 54 extends along the second horizontal direction Y. The mounting plate 21 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 54 through an intermediate plate 56. The third driving member 55 is connected to the mounting plate 21 and is used to drive the intermediate plate 56 to drive the mounting plate 21 to move along the second horizontal direction Y.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first light source assembly 3 is connected to the support frame 7 through the first adjustable bracket 31. By adjusting the angle between the first adjustable bracket 31 and the horizontal plane, the angle of the first light source assembly 3 can be adjusted. The second light source assembly 4 is connected to the fixed plate 6 through the second adjustable bracket 41. By adjusting the angle between the second adjustable bracket 41 and the horizontal plane, the angle of the second light source assembly 4 can be adjusted.
[0043] Preferably, the light rays of the first light source assembly 3 illuminating the upper surface of the wafer 10 to be measured are staggered from the light rays of the second light source assembly 4 illuminating the lower surface of the wafer 10 to be measured, that is, the two are located in different vertical planes, so that the illuminating lights of the two light source assemblies will not interfere with each other, which can ensure the clarity of the image captured by the camera 1, thereby improving the accuracy of the inspection.

[0045] Any numerical value cited herein includes all values from the lower limit value to the upper limit value increasing by one unit, as long as there is an interval of at least two units between any lower value and any higher value. For example, if the value of the number of components or process variables (such as temperature, pressure, time, etc.) is stated as ranging from 1 to 90, preferably from 20 to 80, more preferably from 30 to 70, then the purpose is to illustrate that values such as 15 to 85, 22 to 68, 43 to 51, 30 to 32, etc. are also explicitly listed in this specification. For values less than 1, a unit is appropriately considered to be 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1. These are only examples of what is intended to be clearly expressed, and it can be considered that all possible combinations of the numerical values listed between the lowest value and the highest value are explicitly stated in this specification in a similar manner.
[0046] Unless otherwise indicated, all ranges include the endpoints and all numbers between the endpoints. The term "about" or "approximate" used in connection with a range is applicable to both endpoints of the range. Thus, "about 20 to 30" is intended to cover "about 20 to about 30", including at least the specified endpoints.
