Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wafer processing equipment, and in particular to a compensation calibration method and device for wafer chamfering. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of China's semiconductor industry, the demand for the quantity and quality of wafers—the substrates of integrated circuits—is also increasing. Chamfering, a critical step in wafer manufacturing, prevents edge cracking during subsequent processing and reduces wear on polishing equipment. Existing chamfering machines first align the wafer's centering in a calibration unit before transferring it to the grinding chamber for processing. The default is for the wafer to be placed concentrically with the wafer table. However, wafers can drift during transfer and placement between the calibration unit and the grinding chamber. Traditionally, wafers have been designed to increase the error range of incoming wafers to cover any deviations during placement and handling, while also periodically performing manual calibration to ensure accurate positioning during repeated wafer transfers. This approach increases the amount of grinding, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and impacts production efficiency. Furthermore, any deviation cannot be detected or corrected, resulting in wafer scrap. Summary of the Invention

[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific implementation examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0028] This embodiment provides a compensation calibration method for wafer chamfering, which is applied to a wafer chamfering device. The compensation calibration method includes: Acquire a target image; wherein the target image includes: a wafer table 6 and a wafer disposed on the wafer table 6; determine the eccentricity between the center of the wafer table 6 and the center of the wafer based on the target image; determine the second distance from the target processing point to the center of the wafer table 6 based on the reference angle and eccentricity corresponding to the target processing point and the first distance; wherein the reference angle represents the angle between a line connecting the target processing point to the center of the wafer table 6 and a reference line; the reference line is a line connecting the center of the wafer table 6 and a grinding point of the grinding groove; the first distance is the distance from the target processing point to the center of the wafer; obtain the error between the actual grinding point of the grinding groove and the preset grinding point; determine the compensation amount when grinding the target processing point based on the first distance, the second distance and the error amount.
[0029] In this embodiment, since the compensation amount during grinding of the target processing point is determined based on the first distance, the second distance and the error amount, the feed amount during grinding of the target processing point is the feed amount after automatic compensation calibration of the wafer offset and the error amount between the actual grinding point of the grinding groove and the preset grinding point. This not only eliminates the need for frequent manual calibration operations, but also adds loss compensation for the grinding wheel 7 to the compensation parameters, which can monitor the wafer position at all times, greatly improve the processing accuracy, and reduce the scrap rate. Moreover, after the processing accuracy is improved, the allowable error range of the incoming material can be narrowed, the grinding removal amount is reduced, the processing time can be shortened, and the loss of the grinding wheel 7 will also be reduced.
[0030] In this embodiment, any point on the arc edge of the wafer can be the target processing point. The target image can be obtained by an industrial camera or other components that meet the requirements.
[0031] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the step of determining the eccentricity between the center of wafer stage 6 and the center of the wafer based on the target image includes: determining the coordinates of the wafer center in a preset reference coordinate system by a three-point measurement method; wherein the origin of the reference coordinate system is the center of wafer stage 6; and determining the straight-line distance from the coordinates of the wafer center to the origin as the eccentricity.
[0032] In this embodiment, based on the target image, the center of the wafer can be determined by randomly selecting three points on the arc edge of the wafer; a reference coordinate system is established with the center of the wafer stage 6 as the origin, and the Y axis of the reference coordinate system coincides with the reference line, and the X axis and the Y axis are in the same horizontal plane. The coordinates of the center of the wafer can be obtained, and the eccentricity can be determined by the distance from the coordinates of the center of the wafer to the origin. The method is simple and the eccentricity is easy to obtain.
[0033] In an optional technical solution of this embodiment, the step of determining the second distance from the target processing point to the center of the wafer table 6 based on the reference angle and eccentricity corresponding to the target processing point and the first distance includes: determining the second distance using the following formula: ; Among them, r is the first distance; a2 is the eccentricity; b is the second distance; θ is the reference angle corresponding to the target processing point.
[0034] In this embodiment, when processing the arc edge of the wafer, the wafer is rotated so that the wafer center, the center of the wafer table 6, and the grinding point are collinear, that is, the wafer center is located on the reference line. At this time, any point on the arc edge of the wafer (that is, the target processing point) is connected to the center of the wafer table 6. The angle formed by the connecting line and the reference line is recorded as θ, and the length of the connecting line is recorded as b. The connecting line, the wafer radius (that is, the first distance) and the line connecting the wafer center and the origin (that is, the eccentricity) form a triangle, where the wafer radius r is a known number. Through trigonometric functions The value of b can be calculated. The method is simple and the value of the second distance can be easily obtained.
[0035] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the step of determining the compensation amount when grinding the target processing point based on the first distance, the second distance and the error amount includes: determining the feed direction of the wafer based on the size relationship between the fifth distance and the second distance; wherein, if the fifth distance is greater than the second distance, the feed direction of the wafer is determined to be close to the grinding groove; if the fifth distance is less than the second distance, the feed direction of the wafer is determined to be away from the grinding groove; the fifth distance is the sum of the first distance and the error amount; the compensation amount is constrained by the following formula: a=│a1+rb│; wherein, a is the compensation amount; a1 is the error amount; r is the first distance; and b is the second distance.
[0036] In this embodiment, the coordinates of any point on the wafer's arc edge relative to the center of wafer table 6 can be represented by θ and b. During processing, when the wafer is rotated to a certain angle θ, if a1 + rb < 0, wafer table 6 moves away from grinding wheel 7 with a compensation amount of a = -[a1 + rb]. When a1 + rb > 0, wafer table 6 moves toward grinding wheel 7 with a compensation amount of a = a1 + rb. This method is simple and allows for easy determination of the wafer feed direction and compensation amount during arc edge processing.
[0037] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the processing edge of the wafer includes a straight edge; the method also includes: determining the coordinates of the midpoint of the straight edge based on the coordinates of the center of the wafer and the coordinates of any two points on the straight edge in the reference coordinate system; determining the distance from the coordinates of the midpoint of the straight edge to the center of the wafer table 6 as the third distance; determining the distance from the coordinates of the midpoint of the straight edge to the center of the wafer as the fourth distance; and determining the compensation amount when grinding the target processing point based on the third distance, the fourth distance and the error amount.
[0038] In this embodiment, when machining the straight edge of a wafer, the compensation amount is the same at any point on the straight edge. Since the compensation amount during straight edge grinding is determined based on the third distance, the fourth distance, and the error amount, the feed rate during straight edge grinding is the feed rate after automatic compensation and calibration for the wafer offset and the error between the actual grinding point of the grinding groove and the preset grinding point. This not only eliminates the need for frequent manual calibration operations, but also incorporates compensation for the wear of the grinding wheel 7 into the compensation parameters, allowing for constant monitoring of the wafer position, significantly improving machining accuracy and reducing scrap rates. Furthermore, with improved machining accuracy, the allowable error range of the incoming material can be narrowed, the amount of grinding removal can be reduced, machining time can be shortened, and wear of the grinding wheel 7 can be reduced. Furthermore, this method is applicable to machining wafers with complex shapes (e.g., multiple trimming edges).
[0039] In an optional technical solution of this embodiment, the step of determining the coordinates of the midpoint of the straight side based on the coordinates of the wafer center and the coordinates of any two points on the straight side in the reference coordinate system includes: determining that the equation of the straight line on which the straight side is located is y=(y3-y2) / (x3-x2)×(x-x2)+y2; wherein (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the first point on the straight side; (x3, y3) are the coordinates of the second point on the straight side; determining that the equation of the straight line on which the perpendicular line from the wafer center to the straight side is located is y=-(x3-x2) / (y3-y2)×(x-x1)+y1; wherein (x1, y1) are the coordinates of the wafer center; determining the coordinates of the midpoint of the straight side (x4, y4) based on the equation of the straight line on which the straight side is located and the equation of the straight line on which the perpendicular line from the wafer center to the straight side is located; and determining the third distance by the following formula: ; where c is the third distance.
[0040] In this embodiment, based on the target image, the coordinates (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) of any two points on the straight edge are obtained, and the equation of the straight line where the straight edge is located can be determined to be y=(y3-y2) / (x3-x2)×(x-x2)+y2. A perpendicular line is drawn through the center of the wafer, and the equation of the straight line where the perpendicular line is located is y=-(x3-x2) / (y3-y2)×(x-x1)+y1. The intersection of the two straight lines is the midpoint of the straight edge. The coordinates of the intersection can be obtained by combining the equations of the two lines, which is recorded as (x4, y4). The length of the connecting line from the center of wafer stage 6 to the midpoint of the straight edge is recorded as c, which can be obtained by the distance formula between the two points. The calculation shows that the method is simple and the coordinates of the midpoint of the straight side and the value of the third distance are easy to obtain.
[0041] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the step of determining the compensation amount when grinding the target processing point based on the third distance, the fourth distance and the error amount includes: determining the feed direction of the wafer based on the size relationship between the third distance and the sixth distance; wherein, if the third distance is greater than the sixth distance, the feed direction of the wafer is determined to be away from the grinding groove; if the third distance is less than the sixth distance, the feed direction of the wafer is determined to be close to the grinding groove; the sixth distance is the sum of the fourth distance and the error amount; the compensation amount is constrained by the following formula: a=│a1+dc│; wherein, a is the compensation amount; a1 is the error amount; c is the third distance; and d is the fourth distance.
[0042] In this embodiment, the distance from the wafer center to the midpoint of the straight edge is denoted as d, a known value. The wafer is rotated so that the midpoint of the straight edge coincides with the reference line. During machining, when a1 + dc < 0, wafer table 6 moves away from grinding wheel 7 with a compensation amount of a = -[a1 + dc]. When a1 + dc > 0, wafer table 6 moves toward grinding wheel 7 with a compensation amount of a = a1 + dc. Subsequently, wafer table 6 moves in the X direction to perform straight edge machining. This method is simple, and the wafer feed direction and compensation amount during straight edge machining are easily determined.
[0043] In the optional technical solution of this embodiment, the step of obtaining the error amount between the actual grinding point of the grinding groove and the preset grinding point includes: determining a single error based on the total grinding feed depth, the total loss of the radial length of the grinding wheel 7 and the accumulated feed depth before the current wafer processing; and determining the error amount by taking the average value of the single error by sampling multiple times.
[0044] In this embodiment, the error is calculated by averaging a large number of samples. Specifically, the total grinding feed depth is defined as M, the total radial length loss of the grinding wheel 7 is defined as N (N can be measured using laser light), and the grinding wheel 7 loss per unit feed depth is defined as L, where L = N / M. The cumulative feed depth before the current wafer is processed is defined as L1, and a1 = L1 × N / M. This method is simple, and the error is easily and accurately obtained.
[0045] However, this embodiment is not limited thereto, and the error amount a1 can also be obtained through laser measurement, acoustic wave measurement, and the like.
[0046] In an optional technical solution of this embodiment, before the step of acquiring the target image, the compensation calibration method further includes: acquiring the height of the wafer on the wafer table 6; and determining the Z-direction movement of the wafer table 6 based on the height of the wafer and the height of the grinding groove.
[0047] In this embodiment, by judging whether the height of the wafer on the wafer table 6 is the same as the height of the grinding groove, the movement direction and amount of the wafer table 6 in the Z direction are determined, so as to compensate and calibrate the height of the wafer during grinding, so that the wafer and the grinding groove are at the same height, greatly improving the processing accuracy and reducing the scrap rate.
[0048] The present embodiment provides a wafer chamfering processing device that can implement the above-mentioned compensation calibration method for wafer chamfering processing. Therefore, the technical advantages and effects achieved by the wafer chamfering processing device include the technical advantages and effects achieved by the above-mentioned compensation calibration method for wafer chamfering processing, which will not be repeated here.

[0050] Furthermore, the wafer chamfering processing device also includes a distance detection sensor 8, which is arranged in the wafer grinding chamber 3, and the distance detection sensor 8 is communicatively connected to the control module; the distance detection sensor 8 is used to detect the height of the wafer on the wafer table 6, and the control module controls the feeding device 1 to drive the wafer carrier 4 to move along the Z direction based on the height of the wafer and the height of the grinding groove, so as to compensate and calibrate the height of the wafer during grinding.
[0051] Furthermore, the feeding device 1 is a three-axis feeding device 1, which can realize feeding movement of the wafer in three directions: horizontal X-axis, Y-axis and vertical Z-axis, and can realize grinding of arc edges and straight edges of the wafer, thereby improving applicability.
