The three-point positioning first clamps and rotates the wafer, and then uses a camera to position the notch of the wafer. However, the current three-point positioning method has a wafer eccentricity problem in the clamping process for a large-warping wafer, thereby affecting the subsequent notch positioning accuracy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

It should also be understood that terms such as those defined in a general dictionary should be understood to have meanings consistent with those in the context of the prior art, and should not be interpreted to have idealized or overly formal meanings unless specifically defined as such.

[0018] Those skilled in the art can understand that, unless otherwise stated, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" used herein also include the plural forms. It should be further understood that the use of the phrase "comprising" in the specification of the present application means that the features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components exist, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or groups thereof. The phrase "and / or" used herein includes all or any one of the associated listed items and all combinations thereof.

[0019] The existing wafer dicing machine adopts a three-point positioning method for calibration. However, for a wafer with large warping, eccentricity problems occur on the side with larger warping during the calibration clamping process, which causes the center of the wafer to not coincide with the center of the worktable, thus reducing the alignment accuracy during the subsequent alignment of the notch, thereby affecting the subsequent wafer dicing accuracy.

[0020] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a wafer calibration mechanism and calibration method for a dicing machine, a dicing machine and a processor, so that the calibration mechanism can calibrate the position of a warped wafer, thereby accurately positioning the notch.

[0021] In combination withFigures 1 to 5 As shown, the wafer calibration mechanism for the scriber provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a base 1 and a rotating mechanism, the rotating mechanism is rotatable relative to the base 1, facilitating the alignment of the notch after the wafer calibration.

[0022] Specifically, the rotating mechanism comprises a rotating part 10 for placing the wafer and a calibration assembly. Optionally, the rotating part 10 is connected with the base 1 through a rotating motor 9, the rotating motor 9 drives the rotating part 10 and the wafer thereon to rotate, thereby realizing the alignment of the notch of the wafer. The calibration assembly is arranged along the circumference of the rotating part 10, and the calibration assembly comprises a plurality of calibration units 5 which are synchronously movable along the radial direction of the rotating part 10, so that the distance between each calibration unit 5 and the center of the rotating part 10 remains consistent, thus ensuring that the wafer is finally adjusted to the center of the rotating mechanism.

[0023] Optionally, the number of calibration units 5 is not less than three, and positioning is performed through at least three points to improve the accuracy of wafer calibration. In the embodiment, three calibration units 5 are taken as an example for illustration.

[0024] Optionally, the calibration unit 5 is in a block structure, and the size of the block structure can be set according to the positioning and calibration requirements, which is not specifically limited here. The block structure can be made of rubber or other materials with certain toughness, which can not only ensure the moving effect on the wafer, but also have certain buffering when contacting the wafer, thereby reducing the risk of broken pieces.

[0025] The inventor finds through research that for the wafer with edge warping, if normal planar contact is adopted, in the process of synchronous inward contraction of the calibration units 5, the edge not warping first contacts the side of the calibration unit 5, while the warped side still has a certain gap with the calibration unit 5, and continues to move inward, which will cause the center of the wafer to deviate to the warped side. Therefore, the side of the calibration unit 5 of the embodiment of the present application towards the center of the rotating part 10 is provided as a curved surface structure 510, the curved surface structure 510 has a certain arc, so as to cooperate with the edge of the wafer. In this way, through the arc design of the curved surface structure 510, the difference between the radius of the warped area of the wafer and the radius of the normal flat wafer is basically eliminated, so that in the process of synchronous movement of the plurality of calibration units 5, the wafer is adjusted to the predetermined position of the rotating part 10 through the guidance of the curved surface structure 510, which is beneficial to improve the subsequent notch alignment and other processing precision of the wafer. The predetermined position is the position where the center of the wafer overlaps with the center of the rotating part 10.

[0026] It should be noted that the design of the wafer calibration mechanism takes into account that the distance from the center of the multiple calibration units 5 to the center of the rotating component 10 must always be kept consistent. This ensures that the wafer is eventually moved to the predetermined position of the rotating component 10 during the synchronous movement of the calibration units 5, so that the center of the wafer overlaps with the center of the rotating component 10.

[0027] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, assuming the wafer radius R and D is the diameter of the circle fitted to the surface when the wafer warps to different degrees, the edge position B of the wafer on the circle diameter can be obtained at the angle A relative to the center of the wafer, where R / πD=A / 360°. At this time, a curve composed of different warps can be obtained, and the surface structure 510 is obtained by using this curve as the arc surface.

[0028] In some embodiments, the curved structure 510 includes at least a plurality of continuously distributed curved segments with different degrees of curvature. Assuming the radius of the wafer is R, the lowermost curved segment (that is, the curved segment closest to the rotating component 10, designated as the first curved segment 511) has an arc radius of R. The arc radii of the remaining curved segments (in order, the second curved segment 512, the third curved segment 513, the fourth curved segment 514, etc.) decrease from bottom to top, that is, the curvature is greater at the top and less at the bottom (approaching a gentle curve).

[0029] Optionally, the number of surface segments shall not exceed four, and due to the limited size of the calibration unit 5, the number of surface segments with different degrees of curvature formed on its sides shall be limited.

[0030] Optionally, the arc lengths corresponding to the remaining curved surface segments decrease sequentially from bottom to top, that is, the first curved surface segment 511 has the longest arc length, and the fourth curved surface segment 514 has the shortest arc length. This facilitates effective positioning of sheets with different degrees of warpage. Optionally, as... Figure 5 As shown, the radii of the arc surfaces corresponding to the other multiple curved surface segments decrease sequentially from bottom to top in a geometric progression. For example, the radii of the arc surfaces corresponding to the first curved surface segment 511, the second curved surface segment 512, the third curved surface segment 513, and the fourth curved surface segment 514 can decrease in a common ratio of 1 / 2, 1 / 3, 1 / 4, or other ratios. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0031] Optionally, the first curved segment 511 corresponds to an arc surface radius R, the second curved segment corresponds to an arc surface radius R / 2, the third curved segment corresponds to an arc surface radius R / 4, and the fourth curved segment corresponds to an arc surface radius R / 8, that is, the arc surface radius of different curved segments decreases by a common ratio of 1 / 2, which is more conducive to adapting to the warping degree of the warped wafer. Because the greater the warping degree of the wafer, the smaller the distance from the edge of the warped wafer to the center of the wafer, in order to compensate for the gap between the edge of the wafer with a large warping degree and the calibration unit 5, the arc surface radius corresponding to different positions of the curved structure 510 on the side of the calibration unit 5 is set correspondingly to ensure that each calibration unit 5 is in contact with the edge of the wafer during wafer calibration to achieve calibration positioning.

[0032] Optionally, the height difference of the first curved segment 511 in the vertical direction is H1, and H1 is 4mm-8mm, which can achieve more accurate positioning for wafers with a warping degree within a preset range. For wafers with a large warping degree, the second curved segment 512, the third curved segment 513 and the fourth curved segment 514 need to be set correspondingly to meet the positioning requirements of the warped wafer. The specific arc length or height difference in the vertical direction of these curved segments is not specifically limited, and it can be understood that the arc length of the upper curved segment is shorter, which can meet the requirements of wafers with different warping degrees in a limited curved structure 510.

[0033] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in order to realize the synchronous movement of each calibration unit, the rotating part 10 specifically comprises a first rotating part 2 and a second rotating part 3 which can rotate relative to each other, the second rotating part 3 is located above the first rotating part 2, the second rotating part 3 rotates concentrically with the first rotating part 2, and the first rotating part 2 and the base 1 are rotatably connected by a rotating motor 9. Among them, the first rotating part 2 and the second rotating part 3 are both circular disc structures, they are concentrically arranged, and the diameter of the second rotating part 3 located above is smaller than the diameter of the first rotating part 2, which is more conducive to arranging the calibration unit 5 on the periphery of the second rotating part 3.

[0034] Further, the calibration assembly further comprises a rotating driving part 8 and a plurality of sliding connecting rods 4 Figures 2 to 4The first rotating member 2 is provided with a plurality of guiding grooves 201 distributed along the radial direction on the upper surface thereof; the second rotating member 3 is provided with arc-shaped guiding grooves 301 corresponding to the sliding connecting rods 4, one end of each sliding connecting rod 4 is provided with a positioning column 401 which cooperates with the arc-shaped guiding groove 301 to realize the sliding movement in the arc-shaped guiding groove; the calibration unit 5 is connected to the end of the sliding connecting rod 4 away from the positioning column 401; the rotating driving component 8 is used to drive the second rotating member 3 to rotate relative to the first rotating member 2, so that the positioning column 401 moves along the track of the arc-shaped guiding groove 301, and the sliding connecting rod 4 is driven to slide along the guiding groove 201, and the calibration unit 5 is further driven to move along the radial direction of the rotating component 10.

[0035] Optionally, the plurality of calibration units 5 slide along with the sliding connecting rods 4 until the rotating driving component 8 stops when reaching a predetermined stroke position, i.e. the start and end points of the stroke of the rotating driving component 8 are preset, when the rotating driving component 8 is at the end point of the stroke, the center of the wafer is just adjusted to overlap with the center of the second rotating member 3, and the start point of the stroke only needs to ensure that the wafer can be easily placed on the second rotating member 3 and does not interfere with the calibration unit 5 and other components.

[0036] Optionally, the calibration unit 5 is provided with a position detection component, such as a position detection component arranged at the bottom of the calibration unit 5, during the movement of the calibration unit 5, the position of the calibration unit 5 relative to the second rotating member 3 is detected by the position detection component, and when the calibration unit 5 moves to a predetermined position, the rotating driving component 8 is controlled to stop working. It can be understood that the predetermined position of the calibration unit 5 can be understood as the position of the calibration unit 5 when the wafer is clamped by the calibration unit 5 and just overlaps with the center of the second rotating member 3.

[0037] Optionally, the rotating driving component 8 in the embodiment is a linear motor, which drives the second rotating member 3 to move relative to the first rotating member 2, which is beneficial to improve the wafer calibration efficiency and accuracy.

[0038] Optionally, the rotating driving component 8 in the embodiment is a driving cylinder, which drives the second rotating member 3 to move relative to the first rotating member 2, the driving cylinder has fast response speed, simple control and low cost.

[0039] In other embodiments, each calibration unit 5 can also be driven to move along the radial direction of the second rotating member 3 by a linear driving mechanism to realize the center position calibration of the wafer.

[0040] In some embodiments, the wafer calibration mechanism further comprises an image detection component 7, a notch positioning component, and a control unit; the image detection component 7 and the notch positioning component are both installed on the base 1, and the image detection component 7 is used to acquire image information of the wafer. Optionally, the image detection component 7 can adopt a CCD image detection component, which has higher accuracy. The CCD image detection component can be fixed to the base 1 through a support frame 6, and can ensure that the image information of the wafer can be acquired. The specific position of the CCD image detection component can not be specifically required.

[0041] Specifically, the control unit adjusts the rotation angle of the wafer according to the angle position information between the image information of the wafer and the notch positioning component, that is, adjusts the rotation angle of the rotating motor 9 according to the angle difference between the position of the notch of the wafer in the image information and the actual notch positioning component, so as to ensure that the notch can be aligned with the direction of the notch positioning detection component, and to facilitate improving the processing accuracy of the subsequent process. It can be understood that the alignment accuracy of the subsequent notch can be ensured only after the wafer is calibrated by the calibration unit 5, because if the wafer calibration accuracy in the early stage is not high, the alignment of the notch through the angle rotation will also be deviated.

[0042] Optionally, the control unit in the embodiment of the present application can also be used to control the rotating driving component in the foregoing embodiment, so as to realize automatic control of the moving process of the calibration unit. In addition, the control unit in the embodiment of the present application can be implemented by using the controller of the dicing machine itself, or can be additionally implemented by using other industrial controllers, and the present application does not make specific limitation thereto.

[0043] In some embodiments, the surface of the curved structure 510 is subjected to smooth treatment, which is beneficial to reducing the friction force between the wafer and the calibration unit 5, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy of the wafer, and can also effectively reduce the risk of wafer breakage in the calibration process.

[0044] Based on the same inventive concept, as shown in Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application also provides a dicing machine, which comprises a workbench 200, a carrying arm 300, and a wafer calibration mechanism 100 as described in the foregoing embodiments. The carrying arm 300 is used to carry the wafer from a wafer box 400 to the wafer calibration mechanism 100 for calibration, and to carry the calibrated wafer to the workbench 200, so as to perform dicing on the cutting path of the wafer.

[0045] The wafer calibration mechanism of the wafer scribing machine provided by the embodiment comprises a plurality of calibration units, and the calibration units are arranged on the rotating part in a circular manner.

[0046] As shown in Figure 7 The wafer calibration method provided by the embodiment of the present application is based on the wafer calibration mechanism as described in the foregoing embodiments, and comprises the following steps of S100-S300: S100, the calibration units are controlled to move synchronously along the direction close to the center of the rotating part.

[0047] Specifically, the calibration units are controlled to contract synchronously, and in the process of synchronous movement, the edge of the warped wafer is in contact with the edge of the wafer and gradually tightens.

[0048] S200, the movement of the calibration units is stopped when it is detected that the calibration units reach the predetermined position.

[0049] Specifically, the predetermined position of the calibration units is determined in advance according to the size of the wafer when the calibration mechanism is designed, and the moving position of the calibration mechanism can be accurately controlled by the corresponding position detection part.

[0050] S300, image information of the wafer located on the rotating part is acquired, and the rotating angle of the rotating part is adjusted according to the angle position information between the image information and the notch positioning part.

[0051] Optionally, in S300, the image information of the wafer located on the rotating part 10 can be acquired by image detection part, and the rotating motor is controlled by the difference between the notch position of the wafer in the image information and the rotating angle of the notch positioning part. Wherein, the notch positioning part is installed at the position calibrated as the position, which is the direction that the notch needs to be aligned.

[0052] The wafer calibration method provided by the embodiment adopts the wafer calibration mechanism with the curved surface structure, so as to cooperate with the edge of the wafer. In the calibration process, the difference between the radius of the wafer warping area and the radius of the normal flat wafer is basically eliminated through the curvature design of the curved surface structure. In the process of synchronous movement of the plurality of calibration units, the wafer is adjusted to the predetermined position of the rotating part through the guidance of the curved surface structure, which is beneficial to subsequent adjustment of the rotation angle of the rotating part through image detection, so as to improve the notch alignment of the wafer and the precision of the subsequent slicing cutting process.
