Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing detection jigs, and specifically relates to a wafer inspection jig. Background Art
[0002] A tooling fixture for wafer inspection in the semiconductor front-line production process is used for product quality inspection before and after dicing. After receiving the customer's wafer, IQC needs to inspect the quality of the customer's incoming wafers, and the qualified products are delivered to the workshop for production. The wafer production steps are: IQC inspection-wafer front film-grinding-wafer inspection-wafer back film-wafer cutting-wafer inspection. The appearance of the wafer needs to be inspected for the incoming IQC inspection and the wafers after grinding and cutting, and personnel need to manually take the wafer under a 50x microscope for inspection.
[0003] The traditional working method in the industry is to place the wafer directly under a microscope for inspection. The existing traditional inspection method has the following defects: 1. When using the existing traditional inspection method, some wafers have moisture on the back and are not completely dry, which can easily cause the back of the wafer to be adsorbed on the microscope table, making it difficult to move and pick up the wafer, and there is a risk of quality abnormalities such as chipping of the wafer corners; 2. When using the existing traditional inspection method, it is inconvenient to inspect the back of the wafer, and it is necessary to place anti-scratch paper on the front of the wafer to protect the front of the wafer from being scratched, affecting work efficiency; 3. When using the existing traditional inspection method, the wafer is directly placed on the inspection table for inspection, which is easy for dust to contaminate the wafer, and it also There is a risk of scratches; 4. When using the existing traditional inspection method, it is inconvenient to move the wafer up and down on the inspection table. If the operation is improper, it is easy to cause a backlog of individual products, and there is a risk of quality abnormalities such as product corner chipping; 5. When using the existing traditional inspection method, when inspectors inspect product quality under a microscope, they are likely to touch the product due to human factors, causing the wafer to be scratched or contaminated; 6. When using the existing traditional inspection method, the wafer is placed on the table of the microscope for inspection. The table is completely exposed, and foreign matter is easily attached, resulting in abnormal product quality; 7. When using the existing traditional inspection method, the operation speed is slow and the efficiency is low, which greatly increases the company's labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the wafer placement jig is U-shaped, and the wafer placement slots are arranged on two side walls of the wafer placement jig.
[0008] Furthermore, the lifting bracket is hinged to the rotating platform.
[0009] Furthermore, the rotary bearing is located in the middle of the intermediate support seat.
[0010] Furthermore, the intermediate support seat is cylindrical.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] 1. When using the utility model, the wafer will not contact the inspection table, and the wafer will not be adsorbed on the table due to wet water, resulting in chipping of the wafer corner;
[0013] 2. When using the utility model, when inspecting the back of the wafer, there is no need to place anti-scratch paper on the front of the wafer, which greatly improves the work efficiency of employees;
[0014] 3. The utility model is equipped with a slide rail, which can easily move up, down, left and right, and can avoid scratching the wafer due to human factors;
[0015] 4. The use of this utility model greatly improves the work efficiency of employees and reduces the company's labor costs;
