Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of chip defect detection, and in particular to a chip defect detection device. Background Art

[0002] In the chip manufacturing process, factors such as human operation, material defects or equipment failures can cause various defects such as impurities, cracks, short circuits, etc. on the chip. If these defects are not detected and repaired in time, they may cause the chip performance to decline, the function to fail or even be completely damaged. Therefore, chip defect detection is very important to ensure the quality and reliability of the chip. Existing chip defect detection methods include optical microscopy, laser scanning and X-ray imaging. Among them, the optical microscope detects defects by observing the magnified image of the chip surface. It has a high resolution and can detect very small defects, but it is slow and requires manual operation, and cannot detect defects inside the chip. The laser scanning method scans the chip with a laser beam and detects the change in the intensity of its reflected light to determine whether there is a defect. It has a high resolution and a fast detection speed, but it has strict environmental requirements and a high cost. The X-ray imaging method detects defects by irradiating the chip and recording the intensity of the X-rays passing through the chip. It can detect defects inside the chip, but it is expensive, has strict environmental requirements, and requires a long detection time.

[0003] These methods all have some limitations, especially for defect detection of unpatterned wafers. Unpatterned wafers refer to wafers that have not yet formed visible patterns in the early stages of chip manufacturing. Traditional defect detection methods often do not work at this stage because they are mainly based on the detection of patterns. In addition, these methods also have problems such as slow speed, low resolution and high cost. Event cameras provide a new solution for defect detection of unpatterned wafers. Event cameras are asynchronous sensors designed based on neuron principles. They can detect defects by recording brightness changes on the wafer surface without knowing the location and shape of the defects in advance, which makes defect detection more flexible and efficient, while also reducing costs. Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a chip defect detection device. Utility Model Content

[0034] Embodiment 2:

[0035] The solution in Example 1 is further introduced below in combination with a specific working method, as described below:

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, as a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above method, further, the first threaded rod 4 is connected to the middle part of the bottom of the first sliding block 5, the top end surface of the first sliding block 5 is in contact with the bottom end surface of the second translation stage 9, and the second sliding block 8 is fixed to the bottom center part of the second translation stage 9.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned method, further, the vertical center line of the event camera 12 and the vertical center line of the first translation stage 2 are located on the same center line, and the length of the event camera 12 is less than the length of the hydraulic rod 10.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, as a preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above-mentioned manner, further, the top of the adjusting plate 13 and the guide groove 14 are both in an arc shape, the adjusting plates 13 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the limit frame 22, the adjusting plates 13 correspond one to one with the guide blocks 21 through the guide grooves 14, the guide blocks 21 are in an arc shape, the output end of the third servo motor 15 is connected to a worm 16, the worm 16 is meshedly connected to a worm wheel 17, the worm wheel 17 is fixedly connected to a transmission shaft 18, the transmission shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the adjusting plate 13, the transmission shaft 18 is fixedly connected to a coil 19, a traction rope 20 is wound around the coil 19, the top end of the traction rope 20 is fixedly connected to the guide block 21, and the inner top end of the guide groove 14 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 18. A connecting spring 26 is connected, and the bottom end of the connecting spring 26 is fixedly connected to the guide block 21. The guide block 21 is fixed in the middle part of the side end of the limit frame 22. The guide block 21 corresponds to the coil 19 one by one through the traction rope 20. The drive of the worm 16 and the worm wheel 17 can drive the coil 19 on the transmission shaft 18 to reel and unreel the traction rope 20. In conjunction with the connecting spring 26, the white light source device 25 in the limit frame 22 can be driven to rotate at a uniform speed along the trajectory of the guide groove 14. For the same position of the chip, the light intensity information of different irradiation angles can be compared, and the light intensity information differential map can be obtained for subsequent defect detection, which can effectively detect various types and forms of defects on the surface of the non-patterned wafer.

[0039] Specifically, when the chip defect detection device is in use: first, the staff can place the chip to be detected on the second translation stage 9, and then the staff can drive the hydraulic rod 10 on the optical platform 1. Under the driving action of the hydraulic rod 10, the event camera 12 can be driven to move upward or downward through the mounting plate 11 to control the precise focus of the event camera 12 and the chip to be tested, thereby improving the measurement accuracy. Then the staff can drive the third servo motor 15 on the optical platform 1. At this time, under the driving action of the third servo motor 15, the worm 16 can be driven to rotate stably, and under the rotation action of the worm 16, the meshing worm wheel 17 can drive the coil 19 on the transmission shaft 18 to rotate stably. At this time, under the rotation action of the coil 19, the traction rope 20 can be wound at a uniform speed. At this time, under the winding action of the traction rope 20, The guide block 21 can be pulled to move at a uniform speed in the guide groove 14 on the adjustment plate 13. At this time, under the uniform movement of the guide block 21, the internal white light source device 25 can be driven to rotate at a uniform speed through the limit frame 22. During the uniform rotation of the white light source device 25, the angle of the white light irradiated by the white light source device 25 can be uniformly adjusted on the surface of the chip. At this time, the event camera 12 is used to capture the white light scattered on the chip surface. By uniformly adjusting the irradiation angle of the white light, the light intensity information of different irradiation angles can be compared for the same position of the chip, and a light intensity information difference map can be obtained for subsequent defect detection. In conjunction with the computer processing device 27, various types and forms of defects on the surface of the non-patterned wafer can be effectively detected, such as scratches, foreign matter, protrusions, dislocations, missing, pollutants, etc., thereby improving the quality and efficiency of chip manufacturing.

[0040] Similarly, when the white light source device 25 needs to be reset, it is only necessary to drive the worm 16 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the worm wheel 17 connected by meshing can drive the coil 19 on the transmission shaft 18 to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, under the reverse rotation of the coil 19, the traction rope 20 can be unwound at a uniform speed. At this time, during the unwinding process of the traction rope 20, under the elastic contraction of the connecting spring 26, the guide block 21 can be driven to move upward in the guide groove 14 on the adjustment plate 13 to reset, so that the internal white light source device 25 can be driven to move upward and reset through the limit frame 22, thereby ensuring the stability and convenience of the subsequent repeated working state of the white light source device 25.

[0041] During the chip inspection process, the staff can drive the first servo motor 3 in the first translation stage 2 to drive the first threaded rod 4 to rotate stably. At this time, under the rotation of the first threaded rod 4, the first sliding block 5 connected by thread can drive the second translation stage 9 to move left or right through the second sliding block 8. The staff can drive the second servo motor 6 in the first sliding block 5 to drive the second threaded rod 7 to rotate stably. At this time, under the rotation of the second threaded rod 7, the second sliding block 8 connected by thread can drive the second translation stage 9 to move forward or backward in the first sliding block 5. By being able to drive the second translation stage 9 to perform convenient and stable forward and backward shifts or left and right shifts, it is used to scan different positions of the chip to be tested and identify defects on the chip surface, and finally display the coded image, the defect position and type of the chip to be tested.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the utility model but not to limit the technical solutions described in the utility model. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the utility model is not limited to the above specific implementation methods.
