Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of memory chips, and in particular to a wafer detection device. Background Art

[0002] Chip, also known as microcircuit, microchip, integrated circuit, chip refers to a silicon wafer containing an integrated circuit. It is very small and is often part of a computer or other electronic device. Chip is a general term for semiconductor component products. It is the carrier of integrated circuits and is divided from wafers.

[0003] In the related technology, chips are widely used due to their complete functions, convenience and compactness, which have accelerated social progress and facilitated people's lives. However, due to the small size of chips, they are troublesome to manufacture, resulting in a large number of defective products after production. Before the wafer chip is installed on the PCB board of the U disk, the chip needs to be moved to the detection device for detection. The detection device includes a detector and a base for placing the wafer. The staff places the wafer on the base, and then uses a special clamp to carefully rotate the wafer, and uses the detector for multi-directional observation.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, when the staff inspect the wafer, they use external clamps to carefully clamp the wafer and rotate it, which may accidentally damage the wafer. It is also inconvenient for the staff to operate, and there is still room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to reduce the risk of accidentally damaging the wafer during rotation by carefully clamping the wafer with an external clamp, and to reduce the inconvenience of operation for the staff, the present application provides a wafer inspection device.

[0006] The present application provides a wafer inspection device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A wafer detection device comprises a detector body and a base, wherein the detector body is provided with a detection probe, the base is placed on the lower side of the detection probe, the base is provided with a material tray, the material tray is provided with a through hole, a limiting groove is provided on a side of the base close to the detection probe, a limiting rod is provided on the base, the limiting rod passes through the through hole and is embedded in the limiting groove, a side of the limiting rod away from the limiting groove is fixedly connected to a limiting plate, and the limiting plate is located on a side of the material tray away from the base.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the limit rod passes through the material tray, so that the material tray can rotate circumferentially with the limit rod as the central axis, so that the wafer placed on the material tray can also rotate circumferentially, thereby avoiding the situation where the staff needs to clamp the wafer with an instrument when rotating, making it convenient for the staff to inspect the wafer and reducing the occurrence of wafer damage.

[0009] Optionally, a first placement groove is opened on a side of the material tray away from the bottom plate, the first placement groove and the through hole are interconnected and coaxially arranged, and the limiting plate is embedded in the first placement groove.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the first placement groove enables the limit plate to limit the movement of the material tray along the height direction of the limit column while being able to be located inside the material tray and maintain the same height as the material tray, thereby preventing the limit plate from protruding from the material tray and thereby wearing the wafer on the material tray, thereby improving the use efficiency of the material tray.

[0011] Optionally, a first thread is provided on a side of the outer circumferential side wall of the limiting rod away from the limiting plate, a second thread is provided on the circumferential side wall of the limiting groove, and one end of the limiting rod away from the limiting plate is threadedly connected to the limiting groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the first thread allows the limit column to be connected to the base, preventing the staff from accidentally colliding with the material tray and the material tray from detaching from the base, thereby improving the stability of the material tray installation. At the same time, there is no thread at the contact part between the limit column and the material tray, avoiding wear of the material tray and increasing the service life of the material tray.

[0013] Optionally, a toggle groove is formed on a side of the limiting plate away from the limiting column.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the toggle groove, when the staff disassembles the limit column, there is no need to insert their fingers into the first placement groove to press the limit plate for rotation. They only need to use the paddle to insert into the toggle groove to rotate the limit plate, so that the limit column can be disassembled, thereby improving the disassembly efficiency of the staff.

[0015] Optionally, a plurality of support blocks are fixedly connected to a side of the material tray away from the base.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the support block can initially support and raise the wafer on the tray, and at the same time can increase the friction between the wafer and the tray, thereby improving the utilization rate of the tray.

[0017] Optionally, a groove is formed on a side of the material tray away from the base.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove is set so that there is a gap between the wafer on the tray and the material table. When the wafer inspection is completed, it is convenient for the staff to take the inspected wafer out of the groove, thereby improving the convenience of wafer inspection.

[0019] Optionally, there are several material trays with different sizes.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the sizes of several material trays are all the same, so that the material trays on the base can be removed and replaced, so that the appropriate material tray can be selected according to the size of the wafer, thereby improving the use efficiency of the material trays.

[0023] Optionally, a second placement groove is opened on the outer circumferential side wall of the material tray, and the second placement groove is arranged along the radial direction of the material tray. The rotating rod is embedded and slidably connected in the second placement groove.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the second placement groove is set up so that the rotating rod can be slidably connected in the second placement groove. When the staff does not need to use the rotating rod, the rotating rod can slide into the second placement groove to avoid protruding from the outer circumferential side wall of the material tray, thereby scratching the staff in inspection.

[0025] Optionally, a first groove is formed on the outer circumferential side wall of the rotating rod, and a ball head spring plunger is fixedly connected to the rotating rod. The ball head spring plunger is located in the first groove and extends outside the circumferential side wall of the rotating rod. A second groove is formed on the side wall of the second placement groove, and the ball head of the ball head spring plunger is embedded in the second groove.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution and the setting of the ball head spring plunger, the staff can stop pulling the rotating rod to a certain length when pulling it out of the second placement groove, thereby preventing the rotating rod from detaching from the second placement groove; at the same time, when the rotating rod needs to be retracted, the staff only needs to apply force to push the rotating rod along the length direction of the rotating rod to retract the rotating rod.

[0027] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. The limit rod is passed through the tray, so that the tray can rotate around the limit rod as the central axis, so that the wafer placed on the tray can also rotate around, thereby avoiding the need for workers to clamp the wafer with instruments when rotating, making it convenient for workers to inspect the wafer and reducing the occurrence of wafer damage;

[0029] 2. The setting of the groove leaves a gap between the wafer on the tray and the material table. When the wafer inspection is completed, it is convenient for the staff to take the inspected wafer out of the groove, which improves the convenience of wafer inspection;

[0030] 3. The setting of the second placement groove enables the rotating rod to be slidably connected to the second placement groove.
