DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model discloses a wafer vacancy detection device, specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a camera component 1 and a light source component 2. The camera component 1 includes a plurality of camera units 11 arranged in a target arrangement. The camera component 1 is located above the inspected area 8. The inspected area 8 includes a plurality of vacant areas 3 and a plurality of chip areas 4. Each chip area 4 corresponds to a chip formed after wafer cutting. Each chip in each chip area 4 and each vacant area 3 correspond to a unique identification code. The light source component 2 surrounds the outside of the camera component 1. The light source component 2 provides a shooting light source for the camera component 1. The target arrangement includes any one of an M×N matrix arrangement or a ring arrangement, M≧2, N≧2.

[0023] In one feasible solution, Figures 1 to 4As shown, the camera assembly 1 includes 9 camera units 11 arranged in a 3×3 matrix, and the light source assembly 2 is based on multiple light source boards 21. Furthermore, each camera unit 11 communicates with the image processor signal, and the total shooting range of multiple camera units 11 can cover the overall diameter size of the wafer body. It can be understood that among the multiple camera units 11, the image captured by any camera unit 11 may be an image corresponding to the vacant area 3, or it may be an image corresponding to the chip area 4, and the images captured by two adjacent camera units 11 may have overlapping ranges. After each camera unit 11 uploads the captured images to the image processor, the image processor performs splicing processing on the multiple images to obtain a spliced ​​image of the vacant area 3 and the chip area 4 spliced ​​with each other. It should be noted that the detected area 8 refers to the detected area 8 formed on the wafer body after the user's selection is completed. In the detected area 8, each chip in the chip area 4 and each vacant area 3 correspond to a unique identification code. Before the user selects, the wafer body forms an area to be inspected, and the area to be inspected includes multiple chip selection areas 5, each chip selection area 5 corresponds to a chip with a unique identification code, and after the chip on each chip selection area 5 is selected, a vacant inspection area 6 is formed below the chip selection area 5, and the identification code of the vacant inspection area 6 is the same as the identification code of the chip on the chip selection area 5. It can be understood that when being inspected, the vacant inspection area 6 is equivalent to the vacant area 3, and the chip selection area 5 is equivalent to the chip area 4. Exemplarily, the relationship between the vacant inspection area 6, the chip selection area 5, the vacant area 3 and the chip area 4 is as follows: Figure 3 to Figure 4 As shown. Further, in this example, the background processor will pre-store the target identification code of the chip selected by the user. After the image processor splices the images uploaded by each camera unit 11 to form a spliced ​​image, the information of the spliced ​​image is sent to the background processor. The background processor reads the comparison identification code of the vacant area 3 in the spliced ​​image, and compares the read comparison identification code of the vacant area 3 with the target identification code corresponding to the selected chip. When there is an identification code in the comparison identification code that does not match the target identification code, it means that the chip selected by the user is wrong, and it is necessary to notify the relevant staff in time.

[0024] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, multiple positions of the wafer body are photographed simultaneously by multiple camera units 11 arranged in a matrix or a ring, and based on the background image processing, it is determined whether the comparison identification code of the vacant area 3 matches the target identification code of the chip selected by the user in advance, and it is determined whether the chip selected by the user is correct. The present application improves the efficiency of vacant chip detection.

[0025] In an implementable solution, a plurality of mounting holes 13 are provided on the mounting plate 12 , and a camera unit 11 passes through each mounting hole 13 .

[0026] In an operative solution, the height of the camera unit 11 relative to the light source assembly 2 is adjustable, and the height of the mounting plate 12 relative to the light source assembly 2 is fixed. Exemplarily, the camera assembly 1 further includes a fixed plate 14 and a sliding member, the fixed plate 14 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 12, the sliding member is slidably mounted on the fixed plate 14, the camera unit 11 is mounted on the sliding member, and the camera unit 11 moves synchronously with the sliding member. It is understandable that after the camera unit 11 is mounted on the sliding member, it moves synchronously with the sliding member, and the sliding member can be driven by the camera unit 11 to adjust the height relative to the light source assembly 2, so as to achieve the shooting of the area to be detected with different clarity requirements.

[0027] In another feasible solution, the height of the mounting plate 12 relative to the light source assembly 2 is adjustable. Specifically, in this example, the light source assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12 via the fixing plate 14, and the mounting plate 12 can be adjusted up and down relative to the light source assembly 2, and the camera assembly 1 can be adjusted up and down together with the mounting plate 12.

[0028] Further, the detection device further includes a connecting plate 7. In this example, the mounting plate 12 and the light source assembly 2 are connected and fixed via the connecting plate 7. It can be understood that in this example, the camera assembly 1 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 12, and the positions of the camera units 11 in the camera assembly 1 and the light source assembly 2 are fixed. It can be understood that keeping the positions of the camera units 11 and the light source assembly 2 fixed can ensure the stability of the camera unit 11 in taking pictures.

[0029] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the camera assembly 1 includes 9 camera units 11 arranged in a 3×3 matrix, which is only a preferred arrangement. In other feasible schemes, the camera assembly 1 is arranged in a ring, including an outer ring and an inner ring, wherein the outer ring is provided with 5 cameras and the inner ring is provided with 4 cameras.

[0030] Further, the camera assembly 1 is in signal communication with the image processor.

[0031] The wafer vacancy detection device of the present application includes a camera assembly 1 and a light source assembly 2. The camera assembly 1 includes a plurality of camera units 11 arranged in a target arrangement. The camera assembly 1 is located above the detected area 8. The detected area 8 includes a plurality of vacant areas 3 and a plurality of wafer areas 4. Each wafer area 4 corresponds to a wafer formed after wafer cutting. Each vacant area 3 and each wafer area 4 corresponds to a unique identification code. The light source assembly 2 surrounds the outside of the camera assembly 1. The light source assembly 2 provides a shooting light source for the camera assembly 1. The target arrangement includes any one of an M×N matrix arrangement or a ring arrangement, M≧2, N≧2. In the present application, the efficiency of vacant wafer detection is improved by simultaneously shooting multiple positions of the wafer body with a plurality of camera units 11 arranged in a matrix or a ring.

[0032] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
