[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in the multifunctional wafer detection device in the preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it includes an installation platform 1, a fixture assembly 2 provided on the installation platform 1, and the fixture assembly 2 is used for placing wafers; at the same time, a first displacement mechanism is provided between the installation platform 1 and the fixture assembly 2, and the first displacement mechanism is used to drive the fixture assembly 2 to move and rotate in a horizontal plane; and, a mounting bracket 24, which is also provided on the installation platform 1, the mounting bracket 24 has a first mounting portion 7 and a second mounting portion 8, and both the first mounting portion 7 and the second mounting portion 8 are provided above the fixture assembly 2, a second displacement mechanism 6 is provided between the first mounting portion 7 and the mounting bracket 24, and the second displacement mechanism 6 is used to drive the first mounting portion 7 to move vertically; an optical analysis component 9, a rangefinder 10 and a film thickness measuring instrument 11 are respectively provided on the first mounting portion 7, and a light emitting component is provided on the second mounting portion 8, and the light emitting component is rotatably arranged on the second mounting portion 8.
[0040] Specifically, in the present application, a first displacement mechanism is provided between the installation platform 1 and the fixture assembly 2, enabling the fixture assembly 2 to perform horizontal movement and rotation on the installation platform 1 to adjust the position of the wafer on the fixture assembly 2; and an installation rack 24 is provided on the installation platform 1. By providing a second displacement mechanism 6 between the installation rack 24 and the first installation part 7, the vertical heights of the above-mentioned optical analysis component 9, rangefinder 10, and film thickness measuring instrument 11 can be correspondingly adjusted. By the coordinated movement of the first displacement mechanism and the second displacement mechanism 6, the position adjustment and alignment of the optical analysis component 9, rangefinder 10, and film thickness measuring instrument 11 with respect to the positions to be tested on the wafer are realized, respectively, so as to complete the tests of the spectral performance, surface film thickness, and surface warpage degree of the wafer; moreover, the rotational setting of the light emitting component on the second installation part 8 enables the optical path between the light emitting component and the optical analysis component 9 to be correspondingly adjusted. Without the need to globally adjust the position of the wafer through the first displacement mechanism and the second displacement mechanism 6, the spectral performance of various parts of the wafer surface can be analyzed, improving the spectral performance test efficiency; the multifunctional wafer detection device in the present application realizes the function of a single test device to test all multiple parameters of the wafer, avoiding the problem of frequent handling of the wafer between multiple test devices, and greatly improving the wafer test efficiency.
[0041] Preferably, the optical analysis component 9 in the present application is preferably a spectrometer, which is mainly used to receive the light emitted by the light emitting component. When the light is reflected from the wafer surface to the spectrometer, the spectrometer can correspondingly analyze its spectral performance; the rangefinder 10 is preferably a laser rangefinder 10, which is mainly used to test the surface warpage degree of the wafer; the film thickness measuring instrument 11 is mainly used to test the surface film thickness of the wafer.
[0042] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the light emitting component in the present application includes a laser 12 and a collimating mirror 13 connected to the laser 12. An arc-shaped sliding groove is correspondingly provided on the second installation part 8, and the collimating mirror 13 is slidably arranged in the arc-shaped sliding groove, so that when performing spectral measurement, the optical axis of the light emitted by the laser 12 intersects the optical axis of the optical analysis component at the center point of the wafer. In order to realize the adjustment of the light emission angle of the light emitting component towards the wafer surface in the present application, an arc-shaped sliding groove is correspondingly provided on the second installation part 8. By slidably arranging the collimating mirror 13 in the arc-shaped sliding groove, the adjustment of the light emission angle of the collimating mirror 13 is realized through the constraint of the arc-shaped sliding groove. Since the size of the laser 12 is larger than that of the collimating mirror 13, in order to facilitate its adjustment in the arc-shaped sliding groove, the laser 12 is fixed on the second installation part 8, and the connection between the laser 12 and the collimating mirror 13 is realized through an optical fiber. Then, the collimating mirror 13 is slidably adjusted in the arc-shaped sliding groove to realize the adjustment of the light emission angle, so that the optical axis of the light emitted by the laser 12 intersects the optical axis of the optical analysis component at the center point of the wafer to complete the spectral measurement of the wafer.
[0043] Further preferably, the collimating mirror 13 in the present application is installed on the sliding base 14, and the sliding base 14 is slidably installed in the arc-shaped chute. At the same time, a waist-shaped groove 15 is formed on the end surface of the collimating mirror 13 that matches the sliding base 14, and a screw is inserted through the waist-shaped groove 15. Since the adjustment range of the arc-shaped chute itself is limited, the direction adjustment of the collimating mirror 13 is also limited. In order to increase the adjustment range of the collimating mirror 13, the present application correspondingly fixes the collimating mirror 13 on the sliding base 14 and sets a waist-shaped groove 15 on the end surface of the collimating mirror 13 that matches the sliding base 14. When the angle of the collimating mirror 13 needs to be adjusted, the screw is loosened, and the collimating mirror 13 is rotated to complete the angle adjustment, and then the collimating mirror 13 is fixed on the sliding base 14 by the screw again.
[0044] Further, whether it is the above-mentioned arc-shaped chute or the waist-shaped groove, the collimating mirror 13 can only adjust the angle within the plane where the second mounting portion 8 is located. In order to realize the adjustment of the collimating mirror 13 at a position perpendicular to the plane where the second mounting portion 8 is located, the present application also correspondingly sets the collimating mirror 13 on the telescopic rod. One end of the telescopic rod is connected to the collimating mirror 13, and the other end thereof has a bottom surface parallel to the sliding base 14.
[0045] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the first displacement mechanism in the present application includes a first slide rail 3 arranged along the first direction, and the first slide rail 3 is arranged on the mounting platform 1; at the same time, a second slide rail 4 is slidably matched on the first slide rail 3, the second slide rail 4 is arranged along the second direction, and a sliding seat is slidably matched on the second slide rail 4. A jig assembly 2 is arranged on the sliding seat, and a rotating platform 5 is arranged between the sliding seat and the jig assembly 2. Specifically, in the present application, by slidably matching the second slide rail 4 with the first slide rail 3, the movement of the second slide rail 4 along the setting direction of the first slide rail 3 is realized, and a sliding seat is slidably matched on the second slide rail 4 to realize the movement along the setting direction of the second slide rail 4, so as to complete the movement of the sliding seat in the setting directions of the first slide rail 3 and the second slide rail 4. Then, by arranging a rotating platform 5 between the sliding seat and the jig assembly 2, the rotation of the jig assembly 2 is realized, so as to complete the movement and rotation of the jig assembly 2 in the horizontal plane.
[0046] Preferably, the first slide rail 3 and the second slide rail 4 in the present application are perpendicular to each other in the horizontal plane.
[0047] Further preferably, a linear guide rail 16 arranged side by side with the first slide rail 3 is also arranged on the mounting platform 1 in the present application, and the second slide rail 4 also matches the linear guide rail 16 at the same time. The form that the linear guide rail 16 and the first slide rail 3 match the second slide rail 4 at the same time enables the second slide rail 4 to move strictly in accordance with the setting direction of the first slide rail 3, so as to increase the movement accuracy of the jig assembly 2.
[0048] Optionally, the second slide rail 4 in the present application is pushed by a driving motor or a driving cylinder to achieve movement in the direction of the first slide rail 3. A transmission belt and a driving motor are arranged between the second slide rail 4 and the sliding seat to achieve the movement of the sliding seat along the direction set by the second slide rail 4.
[0049] Furthermore, a vision positioning component 17 is also provided on the mounting bracket 24 in the present application. The vision positioning component 17 is mainly used to identify the position of the wafer on the fixture component 2, and correspondingly adjust the optical analysis component 9, the rangefinder 10, the film thickness measuring instrument 11 and the light emitting component according to the obtained wafer position to complete various tests on the wafer.
[0050] Further preferably, a code reader 18 and an ion fan 19 are also provided on the first mounting portion 7 in the present application, and the air outlet of the ion fan 19 is arranged facing the fixture component 2. The code reader 18 is mainly used to read the production and processing information of the wafer to ensure the traceability of the product; the ion fan 19 is mainly used to eliminate the static electricity on the surface of the wafer to ensure the accuracy of the detection.
[0051] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a wire groove 20 is also provided on the mounting bracket 24 in the present application, and the wire groove 20 is communicated with the mounting platform 1. The wire harnesses of the above-mentioned optical analysis component 9, rangefinder 10 and film thickness measuring instrument 11 are all embedded in the wire groove 20. The wire groove 20 is mainly used to restrain the wires or optical fibers of the above-mentioned detection devices, etc., to prevent these wire harnesses from affecting the movement of the detection devices, and at the same time lead the wire harnesses to the lower mounting platform 1 to supply power and remotely control the detection devices. The mounting bracket 24 in the present application is a gantry steel frame, which forms a frame structure on the mounting platform 1, and a reinforcing member is arranged at the joint of the mounting bracket 24 and the mounting platform 1 to ensure the overall stability of the multifunctional wafer detection device.
[0052] Further preferably, the mounting platform 1 in the present application is preferably a square structure as a whole. Support columns 21 are also provided at the four corners of the mounting platform 1, and vibration isolation pads 22 are provided at the joints of the support columns 21 and the mounting platform 1. The mounting platform 1 as a whole is supported by the support columns 21. In order to avoid the influence of surrounding equipment or external vibration on wafer detection, a vibration isolation pad 22 is correspondingly arranged between the support columns 21 and the mounting platform 1 to absorb the external vibration and ensure the smoothness of the mounting platform 1.
[0053] Furthermore, each of the support columns 21 is provided with a foot cup 23 and a caster at one end away from the mounting platform 1, and the vertical height of the foot cup 23 is adjustable. The foot cup 23 is a standard structural component, which is composed of a screw and a chassis. By rotating the screw, the distance between the support column 21 and the ground can be adjusted accordingly. When the multifunctional wafer detection device works normally, the chassis of the foot cup 23 contacts the ground; when the multifunctional wafer detection device needs to be moved, the foot cup 23 is correspondingly raised so that the caster contacts the ground, and the multifunctional wafer detection device can be moved accordingly.
