[0030] Some embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] After a series of semiconductor processes (such as photolithography, doping, and etching) on ​​the wafer, a large number of integrated circuit structures are formed. Each independent unit in these integrated circuit structures is called a die. Dies are obtained by cutting the wafer into multiple small pieces. Each die represents a complete electronic component and is usually fully functional, but at this stage it has not yet been packaged.

[0032] It should be noted that in actual operation, in order to facilitate centralized inspection of the dies, the wafer is usually not cut into individual dies during the inspection stage. Instead, the physical integrity of the multiple dies is maintained. At the same time, wafers and dies can refer to each other at this stage.

[0033] Currently, most wafer inspection and testing production lines are relatively long, resulting in a long single wafer production cycle, affecting wafer production efficiency; and each appearance inspection requires the wafer to be transported, that is, the wafer is taken out of the wafer box and taken to the AOI equipment for inspection, which increases the risk of debris during transportation and placement.

[0034] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a grain detection method, computer equipment and storage medium. The grain detection method is based on a grain detection device, which includes an industrial computer, a test machine, a driving mechanism, a probe station, and a light source and a microscope arranged above the probe station. Before detecting the wafer (grain), the driving mechanism is used to adjust the position of the microscope relative to the probe station so as to photograph the grain placed on the probe station; and the grain to be tested can be placed on the probe station, and then the probe station itself is adjusted to move the grain to directly under the probe card; then the probe card is moved to puncture the grain, and then the punctured grain is tested by the test machine to obtain the parameters of the grain; after completing the parameter test, the industrial computer is used to control the microscope to photograph the appearance of the grain, and the photographed image is transmitted to the test machine; finally, the test machine combines the parameter test data and the appearance image to determine whether the appearance and parameters of the grain are qualified. If both are qualified, the grain is sent to the next process. Compared with the existing technology, the present application can realize the concentration of appearance inspection and parameter testing at the same workstation (probe station) through the grain inspection device, thereby reducing the number of equipment required for both appearance inspection and parameter testing of the grain to one, thereby greatly reducing the space occupied by the equipment used for wafer inspection, and since there is no need to transfer the wafer to other workstations, the risk of wafer fragmentation during transportation and placement is avoided; at the same time, the grain inspection method of the present application can realize grain parameter testing and appearance inspection at the same workstation, reducing the steps of wafer inspection, thereby shortening the wafer production cycle.

[0035] The present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a grain detection device, which includes an industrial computer 2, a test machine 1, a drive mechanism 8, a probe station 7, and a light source 4 and a microscope 3 arranged above the probe station 7. The industrial computer 2 is communicated with the test machine 1, the probe station 7 and the microscope 3 respectively, and the microscope 3 is installed at the moving end of the drive mechanism 8.

[0038] For ease of representation, Figure 1 In the figure, only the probe card 5 is shown in cross section, and the components that can reflect the light beam are represented by dotted lines. At the same time, the full arrows are used to represent the light beam irradiation path, and the half arrows are used to represent the communication relationship between the two.

[0039] In this embodiment, the die inspection device is used for appearance inspection and parameter testing of the die.

[0040] Among them, industrial computer 2 is a computer control system designed specifically for industrial environments, responsible for core tasks such as data acquisition, real-time control, and equipment management.

[0041] In this embodiment, the tester 1 is an ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) tester. Of course, when it is necessary to test other indicators of the wafer 6, other types of testers 1, such as a fast electrical parameter tester, can also be selected. The microscope 3 is an electron microscope.

[0042] It should be noted that, when performing parameter testing on a die, a probe card 5 is generally used, and the probe card 5 is usually part of a probe station 7. In actual use, the installation position of the probe card 5 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.

[0043] In addition, the microscope 3 and the light source 4 need to be used in conjunction with each other, that is, after the light source 4 emits a light beam, the light beam is reflected by the object to be photographed (crystal grain), and the reflected light can enter the lens of the microscope 3. In actual use, it is necessary to flexibly adjust the shooting angle of the lens of the microscope 3 and the irradiation angle of the light source 4 according to factors such as the placement of the crystal grain and the installation position of the probe card 5. At the same time, a reflector (in the Figure 1 components such as those indicated by slashes) to adjust the path of the light beam.

[0044] As an example and not limitation, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the probe card 5 is mounted on the driving mechanism 8 and is located directly below the microscope 3, so that the driving mechanism 8 can be used to centrally adjust the postures of the probe card 5 and the microscope 3 relative to the probe station 7. The probe card 5 is provided with a through hole 51, and the projection area of ​​the through hole 51 in the vertical direction can accommodate the lens of the microscope 3, so that the microscope 3 can clearly capture the appearance of the grain through the through hole 51. Correspondingly, the light source 4 is mounted on the side of the microscope 3. After adopting the above-mentioned structural arrangement, the microscope 3, the light source 4 and the probe card 5 can be integrated to improve space utilization. At the same time, there is no need to adjust the angles of the microscope 3 and the light source 4, which simplifies the use steps of the grain detection device.

[0045] It should be noted that when adjusting the position of the probe card 5 relative to the probe station 7, the adjustment can be made by the drive mechanism 8 alone or by the structure of the probe station 7 alone. Of course, the adjustment can also be made by combining the drive mechanism 8 and the probe station 7. As an example and not a limitation, refer to Figure 2As shown, the driving mechanism 8 includes a first mounting plate 81, a second mounting plate 82, and a moving member 84. The second mounting plate 82 is slidably mounted on the first mounting plate 81 via a cross-sliding structure 83. The moving member 84 is connected to the second mounting plate 82, and the microscope 3 is mounted on the moving portion of the moving member 84. The above structure and the structure of the probe station 7 itself can be used to adjust the probe card 5. For example, the relative position of the probe card 5 in the horizontal plane can be adjusted by moving the second mounting plate 82, so that the through hole 51 can accommodate the lens of the microscope 3. Then, the structure of the probe station 7 itself (such as a lifting device) can be used to control the probe card 5 to approach or move away from the probe station 7. Specifically, the driving mechanism 8 is mounted on the corresponding structure of the probe station 7 itself.

[0046] In some examples, the driving mechanism 8 may also be a multi-axis robotic arm or a multi-axis driving platform, thereby adjusting the spatial position of the microscope 3. The cross sliding structure 83 may be a cross sliding platform or other component capable of sliding in two mutually perpendicular directions.

[0047] In some examples, the grain inspection device further includes a sorting mechanism that establishes communication with the industrial computer 2, and the sorting mechanism includes a manipulator and a conveyor platform docked with the probe station 7. The timing of the microscope 3 photographing the grains can be flexibly adjusted as needed; for example, before acupuncture of the grains, the microscope 3 photographs the grains to obtain an image of their appearance, which is then transmitted to the tester 1. If the tester 1 determines that the appearance image of the grains is unqualified, the industrial computer 2 can send a signal to the sorting mechanism, causing the manipulator and conveyor platform to start operation. The manipulator then grabs the unqualified grains and places them on the conveyor platform to transport them to the corresponding area.

[0048] It should be noted that the above-mentioned unqualified grains are generally grains that have been cut; or a cutting piece can be provided on the robot arm to cut off the unqualified grains.

[0049] The communication method between the industrial computer 2, the probe station 7, and the test machine 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the industrial computer 2 and the probe station 7 are connected via a GPIB interface; and / or, the industrial computer 2 and the test machine 1 are connected via an Ethernet interface based on the TCP protocol.

[0050] GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus), also known as the IEEE-488 bus, is an international standard parallel communication interface designed specifically for instrument control. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is the core transport layer protocol of the Internet. Ethernet interfaces include network ports (RJ45), serial ports (RS485), and fiber optic interfaces.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] Corresponding to the above embodiment 1, the embodiment of the present application further provides a grain detection method, which is applied to the appearance detection and parameter testing of grains, and the grain detection method is performed based on a grain detection device. Figure 3 As shown, the grain inspection method includes:

[0053] S100, adjusting the position of the microscope relative to the probe station through the driving mechanism so that the light beam emitted by the light source can enter the lens of the microscope after being reflected by the crystal grain;

[0054] The installation position and angle of the microscope 3 and the light source 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to factors such as the placement of the die. In this embodiment, the lens of the microscope 3 is vertically downward, and the light source 4 is installed on one side of the housing of the microscope 3, with the light beam outlet facing vertically downward.

[0055] In some examples, the die inspection method further includes:

[0056] Before the microscope 3 photographs the grains, the second mounting plate 82 is moved to adjust the overlap between the through hole 51 and the lens of the microscope 3 in the horizontal plane; the moving member 84 drives the microscope 3 to move in the vertical direction so that the lens of the microscope 3 maintains a set distance from the grains.

[0057] In actual use, the drive mechanism 8 can generally be connected to the structure of the probe station 7 itself, such as the lifting device and / or horizontal displacement device of the probe station 7, so as to quickly adjust the position of the microscope 3 relative to the supporting surface of the probe station 7. Generally, the microscope 3 is adjusted to the center position of the probe station 7, and then the drive mechanism 8 is used to adjust the position of the microscope 3 in a small range so that the lens of the microscope 3 can clearly capture the grains.

[0058] S200, placing the die to be tested on the probe station, and moving the die to the bottom of the probe card through the probe station;

[0059] Among them, the probe station 7 includes a frame and a platform on the frame, which is used to place the object to be tested, and the platform can move relative to the frame within a set horizontal plane, thereby driving the grain to move to the center position of the probe station 7, that is, directly below the probe card 5.

[0060] It should be noted that after the die enters the factory, it is generally necessary to first inspect the appearance of the die to obtain the appearance quality of the die before entering the factory.

[0061] In some examples, the die inspection method further includes:

[0062] Before the die is pricked with a probe card 5 , the industrial computer 2 controls the microscope 3 to photograph the appearance of the die, and transmits the photographed image to the testing machine 1 .

[0063] Specifically, when the crystal grain to be tested is moved to the position directly below the microscope 3, the microscope 3 has been adjusted before, so there is no need to adjust the focal length of the microscope 3 at this time; therefore, after the probe station 7 sends the information that the crystal grain has been moved into position to the industrial computer 2 through the GPIB interface, the industrial computer 2 controls the microscope 3 to take a picture of the crystal grain and transmits the captured image to the test machine 1.

[0064] Furthermore, in some examples, the die inspection method further includes:

[0065] Before the die is pricked with a probe card 5 , the tester 1 determines whether the appearance of the die is qualified based on the appearance image it obtains;

[0066] If unqualified, the unqualified grains are picked out by a robot and placed on a conveyor table.

[0067] It should be noted that in some examples, even if a die that has not been parameter tested is found to have appearance problems, there is no need to remove the problematic die. It is only necessary to store the test results in the test machine 1 and mark the unqualified die by setting a program in the test machine 1. For example, qualified corresponds to Pass=1; unqualified corresponds to Fail=901.

[0068] S300, using a probe card to poke a die, and then using a tester to perform parameter testing on the poke-poke die to obtain the parameters of the die;

[0069] Specifically, the die is probed with a probe card 5, establishing communication between the integrated circuit on the die's surface and the tester 1. This facilitates testing of the die's various parameters by the tester 1, thereby obtaining the die's actual parameters. Similarly, the tester 1's built-in program marks the results of this parameter test, with a pass value of 1 and a fail value of 200 to 899 (the specific numbers are specified by the test program).

[0070] S400: After completing the parameter test, the industrial computer controls the microscope to photograph the appearance of the grains, and transmits the photographed images to the testing machine;

[0071] Specifically, after the parameter test is completed, the probe card 5 is lifted, and at this time the lens of the microscope 3 is also lifted to the initial adjustment position. After the probe station 7 obtains the displacement information of the probe card 5, it notifies the microscope 3 to take a picture through the GP IB interface, thereby obtaining an image of the grain after the parameter test is completed, and transmits the captured image to the tester 1. The built-in program of the tester 1 marks the qualified as Pass=1; the unqualified as Fail=902.

[0072] Among them, each die is assigned a unique label during the entire inspection process, and the results of parameter testing and appearance inspection are bound to the die label.

[0073] S500: Determine whether the appearance and parameters of the die are qualified by combining the parameter test data and the appearance image in the testing machine. If they are qualified, the die is sent to the next process.

[0074] In this embodiment, the next step is generally a packaging step.

[0075] After the parameter test and appearance inspection are completed, the tester 1 judges all the test results. Only when the mark is 1 each time can the die be judged as a qualified die (pass die); if there is a failure, the failed die (fail die) will be output as a failure bin, and the output mark is 200~902 (parameter failure = 200~899, appearance failure = 901 / 902).

[0076] In some examples, after completing the parameter test, controlling the microscope 3 through the industrial computer 2 to photograph the appearance of the grain includes:

[0077] Photograph the needle marks on the grain surface.

[0078] Compared with the existing technology, the present application can realize the concentration of appearance inspection and parameter testing at the same station (probe station 7) for processing through the grain detection device, thereby reducing the number of equipment required for both the appearance inspection and parameter testing of the grain to one, thereby greatly reducing the space occupied by the equipment used for wafer 6 detection, and since there is no need to transfer wafer 6 to other stations, the risk of wafer 6 being broken during transportation and placement is avoided; at the same time, the grain detection method of the present application can realize grain parameter testing and appearance inspection at the same station, reducing the steps of wafer 6 detection, thereby shortening the wafer 6 production cycle. Ultimately, a single domestic device replaced multiple expensive test equipment, and the test steps were reduced, thereby greatly reducing the test cost.

[0079] Example 3

[0080] Corresponding to the above-mentioned embodiments 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application further provides a computer device, comprising: a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a computer program that can be run on the processor, and when the computer program is executed by the processor, the steps of the grain detection method provided in any of the above-mentioned embodiments are executed.

[0082] Among them, the processor 1510 can be implemented by a general-purpose CPU (Central Processing Unit), a microprocessor, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or one or more integrated circuits, and is used to execute relevant programs to implement the technical solution provided by the present invention.

[0083] The memory 1520 can be implemented in the form of ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), static storage device, dynamic storage device, etc. The memory 1520 can store an operating system 1521 for controlling the operation of the electronic device and a basic input and output system (BIOS) for controlling the low-level operations of the electronic device.

The above-mentioned device identification information processing system 1525 can be an application program that specifically implements the operations of the aforementioned steps in the embodiment of the present invention. In short, when the technical solution provided by the present invention is implemented by software or firmware, the relevant program code is stored in the memory 1520 and is called and executed by the processor 1510.

[0084] The input / output interface 1513 is used to connect input / output modules to implement information input and output. The input / output modules can be configured as components in the device (not shown in the figure) or can be externally connected to the device to provide corresponding functions. Input devices may include a keyboard, mouse, touch screen, microphone, various sensors, etc., and output devices may include a display, speaker, vibrator, indicator light, etc.
