[0032] Please refer to Figure 1-7As shown in the figure, a defect detection device of the present utility model includes a sealed box 1 and a detection mechanism. A box door 2 is installed on the front end face of the sealed box 1. The box door 2 is rotatably installed on the sealed box 1 through a hinge structure. The sealed box 1 can be sealed by rotating the box door 2 to prevent external light from interfering with relevant optical detection components during the defect detection of the wafer, thus affecting the accuracy of the detection result. A plurality of mounting holes 3 are provided on the rear end face of the sealed box 1, and a plurality of wire holes 4 are provided on the top of the sealed box 1.

Upper detectors 13 and lower detectors 14 are respectively installed on the front end faces of the upper laser source 11 and the lower laser source 12. The upper detectors 13 and the lower detectors 14 can be photodiodes available on the market.

The wires pass through the wire holes 4. A data processing unit is integrated inside the display 5, which is responsible for receiving the signals obtained from the upper detectors 13 and the lower detectors 14 and processing and analyzing the signals through algorithms to identify defects and abnormalities on the wafer surface. A clamping assembly is arranged on the front side of the detection frame 9;
[0034] The clamping assembly includes a clamping frame 15. The clamping frame 15 is fixedly connected to the front end face of the detection frame 9 and is located between the upper laser source 11 and the lower laser source 12. Through holes 16 are provided on both sides of the clamping frame 15. A pull rod 17 is inserted into the through holes 16. One end of the pull rod 17 is fixedly connected with a pull ring 18, and the other end is fixedly connected with a clamping block 19. A spring 20 is wound around the rod body of the pull rod 17. The two ends of the spring 20 are respectively fixedly connected to the side walls of the clamping frame 15 and the clamping block 19. The pull rod 17 can be pulled by the pull ring 18 to drive the clamping block 19 to move outward. When the pull ring 18 is released, the pull rod 17 will drive the clamping block 19 to move toward the middle direction under the elastic reset action of the spring 20. At this time, the wafer can be clamped and fixed by the clamping block 19.
[0035] Among them, the front surface of the clamping block 19 is C-shaped, and a layer of buffer pad 21 is provided on the inner wall surface of the clamping block 19. The buffer pad 21 can be made of rubber pad material and is fixed to the inner wall of the clamping block 19 by means such as glue.

An upper adjustment component and a lower adjustment component are respectively provided above and below the clamping frame 15. The upper adjustment component and the lower adjustment component respectively include an upper lens 24 and a lower lens 25. The upper lens 24 and the lower lens 25 can be used to adjust and focus the laser beam so as to accurately scan and image the surface of the wafer. Upper adjustment rods 26 and lower adjustment rods 27 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer wall edges of the upper lens 24 and the lower lens 25. The rod diameters of the upper adjustment rod 26 and the lower adjustment rod 27 are equal to the hole diameters of the upper adjustment hole 22 and the lower adjustment hole 23, and external threads are engraved on their rod bodies.

The upper adjustment rod 26 and the lower adjustment rod 27 can be respectively aligned and inserted into the upper adjustment hole 22 and the lower adjustment hole 23. By rotating the upper adjustment rod 26 and the lower adjustment rod 27, the upper lens 24 and the lower lens 25 can be respectively driven to deflect, so as to realize multi-angle detection of the wafer by the detection mechanism. When the angle adjustment is completed, the positioning nuts 29 can be tightened. At this time, through the mutual cooperation of the positioning nuts 29 and the limit blocks 28, the upper adjustment rod 26 and the lower adjustment rod 27 can be clamped and fixed to fix the angles of the upper lens 24 and the lower lens 25.
[0037] Among them, the number of the mounting rods 7 is the same as the number of the mounting holes 3, the rod diameter of the mounting rods 7 is equal to the hole diameter of the mounting holes 3, and the center of each mounting rod 7 corresponds to the center of each mounting hole 3 one by one. Each mounting rod 7 can be respectively aligned and inserted into the corresponding mounting hole 3. At this time, by tightening the mounting nuts 8, the mounting plate 6 together with the entire detection mechanism can be fixedly installed in the sealing box 1. When a relevant optical detection element in the detection mechanism fails, by unscrewing the mounting nuts 8, the detection mechanism can be taken out of the sealing box 1 to facilitate the repair and replacement of the corresponding element.
[0038] Among them, a handle 30 is installed on the front end face of the cabinet door 2, and an observation port is opened on the cabinet door 2. An observation window 31 is installed in the observation port. The observation window 31 is made of transparent glass material and can be fixedly installed in the observation port by means of glue or the like.

[0039] Among them, at the four corners of the bottom of the sealed box 1, feet 32 are fixedly connected. Through the feet 32, the sealed box 1 can be supported, and the bottom of the sealed box 1 can be lifted off a contact surface such as a tabletop, thereby preventing accumulated water or stains on the contact surface from adhering to the bottom of the sealed box 1. A wear-resistant pad 33 is provided on the bottom surface of each foot 32. The wear-resistant pad 33 can be made of materials such as rubber pads and is fixed to the bottom of the foot 32 by means of glue or the like. When the foot 32 supports the sealed box 1, the wear-resistant pad 33 can play a role in wear protection to avoid abrasion caused by the long-term direct contact between the bottom of the foot 32 and the contact surface.
[0040] The circuits, electronic components, and chip modules involved in the present utility model are all prior arts, which can be fully realized by those skilled in the art without further elaboration. The content protected by the present utility model does not involve improvements to software and methods either.
[0041] The standard parts used in the application documents can be purchased from the market. All the components in the application documents can be customized according to the descriptions in the specification and the drawings. The specific connection methods of each part all adopt conventional means such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art.

[0042] The working principle of the present utility model is:
[0043] When the utility model is in use, first open the box door, and place the wafer to be defect-detected into the sealed box. When placing it, pull the pull rods 17 on both sides of the clamping frame 15 through the pull ring 18 to drive the clamping blocks 19 to move outward. When the edges of the wafer are respectively attached to the inner walls of the clamping blocks 19 on both sides, release the pull ring 18. At this time, the pull rods 17 will drive the clamping blocks 19 to move toward the middle direction under the elastic reset action of the spring 20, so that the wafer can be clamped and fixed by the clamping blocks 19. When it is necessary to detect the defects of the wafer, close the box door, and emit laser beams to the front and back of the wafer through the upper laser source 11 and the lower laser source 12 respectively. After the laser beams are emitted from the upper laser source 11 and the lower laser source 12, they are respectively focused and irradiated on the wafer surface through the upper lens 24 and the lower lens 25, and a small light spot is formed on the front and back of the wafer at the same time. When there are defects on the wafer surface, it will cause the reflection and scattering of the laser beam, so that the signal reflected from the surface defect will change, becoming weaker or scattered, while the laser signal reflected from the normal surface is stronger. At this time, the upper detector 13 and the lower detector 14 can simultaneously receive the laser signals reflected from the front and back of the wafer and convert them into electrical signals. The electrical signals can be transmitted to the display 5 through wires. The display 5 is internally integrated with a data processing unit, which is responsible for receiving the signals obtained from the upper detector 13 and the lower detector 14, and processing and analyzing the signals through algorithms to identify the defects and abnormalities on the wafer surface. By rotating the upper adjusting rod 26 and the lower adjusting rod 27, the upper lens 24 and the lower lens 25 can be respectively driven to deflect, so as to realize multi-angle detection of the wafer by the detection mechanism. When the entire defect detection work is completed, the wafer can be taken out of the sealed box 1.
