Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of measuring devices, in particular to a wafer surface measuring device which is easy to adjust. Background Art

[0002] In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, wafers are the basic materials for manufacturing integrated circuits. With the continuous advancement of semiconductor technology, the quality and performance requirements of wafers are getting higher and higher. As important parameters of wafer quality, wafer flatness and thickness have a direct impact on the subsequent manufacturing and performance of integrated circuits. Therefore, after wafer manufacturing, using high-precision measuring devices to measure the wafer surface and detect its flatness and thickness is of great significance for ensuring wafer quality and improving the manufacturing efficiency and performance of integrated circuits. In order to comprehensively and accurately evaluate the quality and performance of wafers, it is usually necessary to measure both the upper and lower sides of the wafer.

[0003] When some existing wafer measurement devices are in use, the measurement mechanism thereon can only measure one side of the wafer. This single measurement surface design limits the use range and test accuracy of the device.

[0004] For example, the announcement number CN210893015U discloses an easy-to-install wafer testing device. When the servo motor of this patent is in operation, the turntable is driven to rotate by adjusting the rotation of the gear, thereby driving the wafer body. When the lead screw rotates, the measuring head slides above the wafer body to perform a full-scale measurement of the thickness of the wafer body. The structure of the equipment is easy to install, and the transmission belt can continuously transmit the wafer body, thereby improving the working efficiency of the equipment.

[0005] The design of the measuring head of the wafer testing device of this patent only considers the measurement of the upper surface of the wafer body, and does not provide a mechanism for measuring the lower surface of the wafer body. The design of the measuring head is only suitable for measuring the upper surface of the wafer body and cannot directly test the lower surface of the wafer. During the wafer manufacturing and inspection process, both sides of the wafer may be key test points. Therefore, this single measurement surface design limits the scope of use and test accuracy of the device.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a wafer surface measuring device that is easy to adjust to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0036] In one aspect of the present embodiment, a second vertical plate 11 and a third vertical plate 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the measuring workbench 1, and the second vertical plate 11 and the third vertical plate 12 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the loading platform 6, and a ball screw 13 is rotatably connected between the second vertical plate 11 and the third vertical plate 12, and the ball screw 13 is arranged through the loading platform 6, and the ball screw 13 is connected to the loading platform 6 through a threaded transmission. A second motor 14 is installed on the top of the measuring workbench 1, and the output shaft of the second motor 14 is transmission-connected to one end of the ball screw 13, and a control panel 15 is installed on the surface of the second vertical plate 11, and a first measuring head 4, a second measuring head 5, and a first motor 1 are connected to each other. 9 and the second motor 14 are electrically connected to the control panel 15, moving rollers 16 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the loading platform 6, a limiting slide groove 17 is opened on the top of the measuring workbench 1, and the moving roller 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting slide groove 17, and a positioning block 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting fixing ring 8.

[0037] Working principle of this utility model:

[0038] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1-5 When using the utility model, firstly, the wafer to be measured is placed together with its carrier on the top of the limit fixing ring 8. The positioning block 18 can help the wafer carrier to be accurately positioned on the loading platform 6 to avoid the wafer from being offset and ensure that the wafer is located directly above the detection through hole. The wafer is fixed by a lever clamping cylinder 19. Four lever clamping cylinders 19 are respectively located at four positions around the wafer carrier. By controlling the extension and contraction of the cylinder, the wafer carrier is stably fixed on the limit fixing ring 8.

[0039] The first motor 9 is started through the control panel 15, and the first motor 9 drives the transmission gear 10 to rotate. The transmission gear 10 is meshed and connected with the gear ring 7. Therefore, when the transmission gear 10 rotates, the gear ring 7 and the limit fixing ring 8 fixed on the top of the gear ring 7 will be driven to rotate. Since the wafer is fixed on the limit fixing ring 8, the wafer will also rotate with the rotation of the gear ring 7;

[0040] When the wafer starts to rotate, the No. 1 measuring head 4 is located above the detection through hole to measure the upper surface of the wafer, and the No. 2 measuring head 5 is located below the detection through hole to measure the lower surface of the wafer. The No. 1 measuring head 4 and the No. 2 measuring head 5 simultaneously measure the upper and lower surfaces of the wafer, and the measurement data is transmitted to the control panel 15 through the measuring heads for processing and analysis. The control panel 15 will display the measurement results of the wafer, including detailed data of parameters such as flatness and thickness;

[0041] To measure different positions of the wafer, the No. 2 motor 14 can be started, and the No. 2 motor 14 drives the ball screw 13 to rotate. Since the ball screw 13 is connected to the loading platform 6 through a threaded transmission, when the ball screw 13 rotates, the loading platform 6 will move along the axial direction of the ball screw 13, which allows the wafer to move back and forth on the measuring workbench 1, thereby realizing the measurement of different positions of the wafer.
