Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of semiconductor wafer manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a wafer back-cut visual positioning system and positioning method. Background Technology
[0002] In semiconductor chip manufacturing, wafers need to be grouted. To improve processing accuracy, laser grooving is generally used. However, some wafers have special plating on the front side that prevents laser grooving and can only be grooved using water jet cutting. Water jet-processed wafers have wider surface cuts, longer grooving times, and lower processing accuracy. If laser grooving is used on the back side of the wafer, the lack of a pattern for positioning on the back side prevents the laser from grooving at the precise location.

[0009] A wafer back-cut visual positioning method, the steps of which are: (1) calibrating the prism assembly; the calibration steps are: (a1) placing the half-wafer with a right-angled edge bare silicon wafer with the back side facing up on the ceramic chuck, moving the platform to move the prism module to the bottom of the back-alignment camera, adjusting the position of the prism module in the Z-axis direction so that the back-alignment camera can see the right-angle position of the bare silicon wafer through the prism module at the visual avoidance hole position;
[0010] (a2) The right-angled edge of the bare silicon wafer forms a wafer straight line on two opposite visual clearance holes. A high-magnification camera takes a picture of the wafer straight line and calculates the angle between the wafer straight line and the horizontal line passing through the center of the ceramic chuck. The rotary motor drives the ceramic chuck to rotate according to the angle to straighten the wafer straight line.
[0011] (a3) The moving platform moves the prism modules corresponding to both ends of the wafer straight line to the bottom of the back-alignment camera. The back-alignment camera views the wafer straight line at the corresponding position through the prism module. The position of the prism module in the X-axis and Y-axis directions is adjusted so that the image center of the back-alignment camera is always on the wafer straight line.
[0012] (a4) Use the method in (a3) to calibrate the positions of the remaining prism modules in the X and Y axes;
[0013] (2) Calibrate the high-magnification camera position coordinates and the back-facing camera position coordinates of the visual avoidance hole position; the calibration method is: (b1) Place the half-wafer with right-angled edge bare silicon wafer with the back side facing up on the ceramic chuck, with the right-angled position located at the center of the corresponding visual avoidance hole;
[0014] (b2) The moving platform moves the bare silicon wafer. When the right-angle position moves to the center of the high-magnification camera image, it stops. The distance the moving platform moves along the X and Y axes at this time is recorded as the high-magnification camera position coordinates calibrated at the visual clearance hole position.
[0015] (b3) The moving platform moves the prism module to the bottom of the back-facing camera, switches to the back-facing camera, and the back-facing camera views the right angle position through the prism module. The distance the moving platform moves along the X and Y axes at this time is recorded as the coordinates of the back-facing camera position calibrated at the visual clearance hole position.
[0016] (3) Place the wafer to be processed with its back side facing up on the ceramic chuck. Move the prism assembly in the X-axis and Y-axis directions. When the outlet moves to the bottom of the back-alignment camera and the back-alignment camera sees the corresponding visual avoidance hole through the prism module, record the distance the moving platform moves in the X-axis and Y-axis directions as the center coordinates of the back-alignment camera image of the visual avoidance hole. Calculate the center coordinates of the high-magnification camera image of the visual avoidance hole based on the high-magnification camera position coordinates and the back-alignment camera position coordinates calibrated in step (2).
[0017] (4) Based on the center coordinates of the high-magnification camera image of the visual avoidance hole calculated in step (3), calculate the angle between the line connecting the center coordinates of the high-magnification camera image of the visual avoidance hole and the Y-axis. The rotary motor drives the wafer to rotate according to the angle until the angle is within the error range, and the cutting path to be cut on the back of the wafer is straightened.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] By cooperating with a mobile platform, a rotating positioning mechanism, a prism assembly, and an image acquisition mechanism, the coordinate position of a high-magnification camera on the back of the wafer is calculated based on the measured image coordinates of the front side of the wafer and the calibrated camera coordinates. This allows for the positioning of the cutting path to be cut on the back of the wafer, solving the problem that laser cutting is not possible on the front side of the wafer and that back cutting is not feasible due to the inability to position the back of the wafer.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, a wafer back-cut visual positioning method includes the following steps: (1) calibrating the prism assembly; as shown Figure 9As shown, the calibration steps are as follows: (a1) Place the half-wafer with a right-angled edge on the ceramic chuck with the back side facing up. The servo motor controls the moving platform to move the outlet of the A-point prism module to below the back-facing camera. Adjust the Z-axis fine-tuning slide by turning the knob to adjust the position of the outlet of the A-point prism module in the Z-axis direction so that the back-facing camera can see the right-angle position of the bare silicon wafer through the outlet of the A-point prism module at the A-point visual clearance hole position. Then, the servo motor controls the moving platform to move the outlet of the B-point prism module to below the back-facing camera. Repeat the above operation so that the back-facing camera can see the right-angle position of the bare silicon wafer through the outlet of the B-point prism module at the B-point visual clearance hole position. Then, the servo motor controls the moving platform to move the outlet of the C-point prism module to below the back-facing camera. Repeat the above operation so that the back-facing camera can see the right-angle position of the bare silicon wafer through the outlet of the C-point prism module at the C-point visual clearance hole position.
[0040] (a2) The right-angled edge of the bare silicon wafer forms a wafer straight line on the visual clearance holes at points A and B. A high-magnification camera takes pictures of the wafer straight line. The angle between the wafer straight line and the horizontal line passing through the center of the ceramic chuck is calculated based on the captured image. The rotary motor drives the ceramic chuck to rotate according to the angle, straightening the wafer straight line so that the wafer straight line is parallel to the horizontal line passing through the center of the ceramic chuck.
[0041] (a3) The moving platform moves the outlet of the A-point prism module to below the back-alignment camera. The back-alignment camera views the wafer straight line at the corresponding position through the outlet of the A-point prism module. Adjust the X-axis and Y-axis fine-tuning slides with knobs to adjust the position of the inlet and outlet of the A-point prism module in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, so that the image center of the back-alignment camera is always on the wafer straight line. The moving platform moves the outlet of the B-point prism module to below the back-alignment camera, and the above operation is repeated.
[0042] (a4) Rotate the bare silicon wafer by 90°. The right-angled edge of the bare silicon wafer forms a wafer straight line on the visual clearance hole at point C. The high-magnification camera takes a picture of the wafer straight line. Calculate the angle between the wafer straight line and the horizontal line passing through the center of the ceramic chuck based on the captured image. The rotary motor drives the ceramic chuck to rotate according to the angle, straightening the wafer straight line so that it is parallel to the horizontal line passing through the center of the ceramic chuck. The moving platform moves the outlet of the C-point prism module to below the back-facing camera. The back-facing camera views the wafer straight line at the corresponding position through the outlet of the C-point prism module. Adjust the X-axis and Y-axis fine-tuning slides with the knobs to adjust the position of the inlet and outlet of the C-point prism module in the X-axis and Y-axis directions so that the image center of the back-facing camera is always on the wafer straight line.
[0043] (2) Calibrate the high-magnification camera position coordinates and the back-facing camera position coordinates of the visual avoidance hole positions at points A, B, and C; such as Figure 10As shown, the calibration method is as follows: (b1) Place the half-wafer with right-angled edge bare silicon wafer with the back side facing up on the ceramic chuck, with the right-angle position located at the center of the visual clearance hole at points A and B;
[0044] (b2) The moving platform moves the bare silicon wafer. When the right-angle position at the center of the visual avoidance hole at point A moves to the center of the high-magnification camera image, it stops. The distance the moving platform moves along the X and Y axes at this time is recorded as the high-magnification camera position coordinates (X, Y) for calibrating the position of the visual avoidance hole at point A. hA Y hA );
[0045] (b3) The moving platform moves the outlet of the A-point prism module to below the back-facing camera, switches to the back-facing camera, and the back-facing camera views the right-angle position at the center of the visual avoidance hole at point A through the outlet of the A-point prism module. The distance the moving platform moves along the X and Y axes at this time is recorded as the position coordinates of the back-facing camera for calibrating the position of the visual avoidance hole at point A (X... bA Y bA );
[0046] (b4) Repeat steps (b2)-(b3) to record the high-magnification camera position coordinates (X) of the visual avoidance hole location at point B. hB Y hB ) and the position coordinates of the back-facing camera (X) bB Y bB );
[0047] (b5) Rotate the bare silicon wafer by 90° and repeat the operations (b2)-(b3) to record the high-magnification camera position coordinates (X) of the visual avoidance hole position at point C. hC Y hC ) and the position coordinates of the back-facing camera (X) bC Y bC );
[0048] (3) Place the wafer to be processed with its back side facing up on the ceramic chuck. Move the moving platform to move the outlet of the prism module at point A in the X and Y directions. When the outlet moves to below the back-alignment camera, and the back-alignment camera sees the visual avoidance hole at point A through the prism module, record the distance the moving platform moves in the X and Y directions at this time as the coordinates of the back-alignment camera image center of the visual avoidance hole at point A (X... bA1 ,Y bA1 According to the high-magnification camera position coordinates (X) of the visual avoidance hole at point A, as determined in step (2). hA Y hA ) and the position coordinates of the back-facing camera (X) bA Y bA ), calculate the center coordinates (X, X) of the high-magnification camera image of the visual obstacle avoidance hole at point A. hA1 ,YhA1 ):
[0049] (X) hA1 ,Y hA1 ) = (X hA -X bA +X bA1 , Y hA +Y bA -Y bA1 );
[0050] Similarly, the coordinates (X, X) of the center of the high-magnification camera image of the visual obstacle avoidance aperture at point B are calculated using the method described above. hB1 ,Y hB1 ):
[0051] (X) hB1 ,Y hB1 ) = (X hB -X bB +X bB1 , Y hB +Y bB -Y bB1 );
[0052] The coordinates of the high-magnification camera image center of point C (X) for visual obstacle avoidance hole hC1 ,Y hC1 ):
[0053] (X) hC1 ,Y hC1 ) = (X hC +X bC -X bC1 , Y hC -Y bC +Y bC1 );
[0054] (4) Based on the high-magnification camera image center coordinates of the visual avoidance holes at points A and B calculated in step (3), calculate the angle θ between the line AB connecting the high-magnification camera image center coordinates of the visual avoidance holes at points A and B and the Y-axis. The rotary motor drives the wafer to rotate according to the angle θ until the angle θ is within the error range, and the Y-axis cutting path AB to be cut on the back of the wafer is straightened.
[0055] Verify whether the Y-axis cleavage AB is straight: Take the midpoint O0 of AB as the intersection of the Y-axis cleavage and the X-axis cleavage at the center of the wafer. Based on the size of the wafer die, calculate the intersection O1 of the Y-axis cleavage and the X-axis cleavage near the visual clearance hole at point C along the line connecting O0 and point C. Move the platform to move the outlet of the prism module at point C to the back-facing camera below the back-facing camera to check whether the front of the wafer corresponds to the intersection of the Y-axis cleavage and the X-axis cleavage at position 01. If so, verify that the Y-axis cleavage AB is straight.
[0056] (5) The laser generator performs laser cutting on the cleaving track AB on the back side of the wafer. The moving platform moves accordingly in the X-axis direction according to the spacing between the cleaving tracks in the Y-axis direction. The laser generator completes the processing of the cleaving track in the Y-axis direction on the back side of the wafer.
[0057] (6) The rotary motor drives the ceramic suction cup to rotate 90°, changing the original X-axis direction of the back side to the Y-axis direction. Repeat steps (3)-(4) to straighten the Y-axis cutting path on the back side of the wafer. After verifying whether it is straight, the laser generator performs laser cutting on the Y-axis cutting path. The moving platform moves accordingly in the X-axis direction according to the spacing between the Y-axis cutting paths. The laser generator completes the Y-axis cutting path on the back side of the wafer, and all the cutting paths on the back side of the wafer are completed.
[0058] During the processing, the laser rangefinder and laser generator form a laser focus tracking and compensation mechanism, which detects the wafer thickness and laser focus position information in real time, and compensates for the laser focus to ensure the accuracy of laser cutting.
[0059] By cooperating with a mobile platform, a rotating positioning mechanism, a prism assembly, and an image acquisition mechanism, the coordinate position of a high-magnification camera on the back of the wafer is calculated based on the measured image coordinates of the front side of the wafer and the calibrated camera coordinates. This allows for the positioning of the cutting path to be cut on the back of the wafer, solving the problem that laser cutting is not possible on the front side of the wafer and that back cutting is not feasible due to the inability to position the back of the wafer.
