[0035] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a wafer profile measuring instrument 100 provided in this embodiment.
[0036] The wafer profile measuring instrument 100 provided in this embodiment is used to perform profile measurement on a polished wafer 200 . The entire process is fully automatic and has the characteristics of higher measurement efficiency and better measurement accuracy.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a partial structural diagram of the wafer profile measuring instrument 100 .
[0038] The wafer profile measuring instrument 100 provided in this embodiment includes a body 110 , a loading and unloading module 120 , a transport module 130 and a function integration module. The loading and unloading module 120 is disposed on the body 110 and is used for automatically loading and unloading wafers 200 .
[0039] The interior of the machine body 110 is provided with a workbench 111, and the functional integration module is integrated on the workbench 111. The transport module 130 is used to transfer the wafers 200 to be measured, which are loaded from the loading and unloading module 120, to the functional integration module for measurement, and is also used to transfer the wafers 200 that have been measured from the functional integration module back to the loading and unloading module 120 for unloading.
[0040] To ensure that wafer 200 is not contaminated during the measurement process and to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results, in this embodiment, wafer profile measuring instrument 100 further includes a fan filter module 190. Fan filter module 190 is disposed on body 110 and is configured to provide clean air to the interior of body 110. It will be appreciated that fan filter module 190 filters external air before delivering it to the interior of body 110.
[0041] In this embodiment, in order to improve loading and unloading efficiency, there are two loading and unloading modules 120 , both of which are wafer 200 loaders and unloaders. The two loading and unloading modules 120 are arranged sequentially in the first horizontal direction.
[0042] The transport module 130 includes a first linear module 131 and a transport robot 132. The first linear module 131 is located within and connected to the housing 110. The first linear module 131 is connected to the transport robot 132. The transport robot 132 is driven by the first linear module 131 to move in a first horizontal direction. The transport robot 132 is used to transfer wafers 200 between the loading and unloading module 120 and the functional integration module.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The figure shows the structural diagram of the functional integration module in actual application.
[0044] In this embodiment, the functional integration module includes a carrying module 140 , an edge-finding module 150 , an adjustment module 160 , an origin detection module 170 , and a measurement module 180 , which are respectively disposed on the workbench 111 .
[0045] Figure 3 The direction indicated by the Y arrow is the first horizontal direction, the direction indicated by the X arrow is the second horizontal direction, and the direction indicated by the Z arrow is the vertical direction. The first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction form an angle. In this embodiment, the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are substantially perpendicular.
[0046] The transport module 130 is used to transfer the wafer 200 to be measured at the loading and unloading module 120 to the carrying module 140; the carrying module 140 is used to drive the wafer 200 to move, specifically including displacement in the first horizontal direction and rotation within the horizontal plane; the edge-finding module 150 is used to obtain edge image information of the wafer 200 during the process of the wafer 200 being rotated by the carrying module 140.
[0047] The adjustment module 160 is used to adjust the position of the wafer 200 on the carrier module 140 according to the edge image information so that the center of the wafer 200 is aligned with the rotation center of the carrier module 140; the carrier module 140 is also used to drive the wafer 200 to move to align the origin of the wafer 200 with the detection point of the origin detection module 170 after the adjustment module 160 completes the adjustment of the wafer 200.
[0048] The measurement module 180 is used to perform contour measurement on the wafer 200 when the origin of the wafer 200 is aligned with the detection point of the origin detection module 170; the transport module 130 is also used to transfer the wafer 200 after contour measurement from the carrying module 140 to the loading and unloading module 120.
[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the connection structure between the carrying module 140 and the workbench 111.
[0050] In this embodiment, the carrying module 140 includes a second linear module 141, a rotating motor 142 and a suction cup 143. The second linear module 141 is arranged on the workbench 111, and the rotating motor 142 is arranged on the second linear module 141, and is used to move in the first horizontal direction under the drive of the second linear module 141. The rotating motor 142 is connected to the suction cup 143, and is used to drive the suction cup 143 to rotate. The suction cup 143 is used to adsorb or release the wafer 200.
[0051] In this embodiment, a mounting groove extending in a first horizontal direction is concavely formed on the surface of the workbench 111 , and the second linear module 141 is accommodated in the mounting groove.
[0052] It is understood that before the transport module 130 transfers the wafer 200 to be measured from the loading and unloading module 120 to the carrier module 140, the rotary motor 142 and the suction cup 143 are located at one end of the second linear module 141 in the first horizontal direction. After the transport module 130 places the wafer 200 on the suction cup 143, the second linear module 141 drives the rotary motor 142 and the suction cup 143 to move toward the other end of the first horizontal direction, moving the wafer 200 into the area where the edge finding module 150, the adjustment module 160, the origin detection module 170, and the measurement module 180 are located.
[0053] The first linear module 131 and the second linear module 141 can both be linear motors. In this embodiment, the rotary motor 142 is a direct drive motor, and the suction cup 143 is a vacuum suction cup 143 .
[0054] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the connection structure of the edge-finding module 150 , the origin detection module 170 and the workbench 111 .
[0055] The edge-finding module 150 and the origin detection module 170 are both located on the same side of the second linear module 141 in the second horizontal direction. The edge-finding module 150 includes an edge-finding bracket 151, an edge-finding camera 152, and an edge-finding light source 153. The edge-finding bracket 151 is vertically mounted on the workbench 111. The edge-finding camera 152 and the edge-finding light source 153 are both mounted on the edge-finding bracket 151 and arranged vertically. In the vertical direction, the supporting module 140 is located below the edge-finding light source 153.
[0056] The surface of the wafer 200 is coded. In this embodiment, the edge-finding camera 152 not only captures edge image information of the wafer 200 during rotation, but also acquires the wafer 200 code. After the edge-finding camera 152 acquires the edge image information of the wafer 200, the controller of the wafer profilometer 100 obtains the center position information of the current wafer 200 based on the edge image information. The controller of the wafer profilometer 100 also stores the measurement data of the current wafer 200 based on the code information acquired by the edge-finding camera 152.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the connection structure between the adjustment module 160 and the workbench 111 .
[0058] In this embodiment, the adjustment module 160 includes a double-motor linear module 161 and two cam bearing followers 162. The double-motor linear module 161 has two linear movers 1611 that can move in the second horizontal direction. The two linear movers 1611 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the supporting module 140 in the second horizontal direction. The two cam bearing followers 162 are respectively arranged on the two linear movers 1611. The two cam bearing followers 162 are used to push the wafer 200 to move relative to the supporting module 140 under the drive of the two linear movers 1611.
[0059] In actual application, after obtaining the center position information of wafer 200 through edge-finding module 150, the controller controls second linear module 141 to drive rotary motor 142 to move wafer 200 along a first horizontal direction until the edge of wafer 200 is between two cam bearing followers 162. The controller then controls dual-motor linear module 161 to operate, driving two linear movers 1611 to move in a second horizontal direction, which in turn drives two cam bearing followers 162 to move in the second horizontal direction, thereby pushing wafer 200 to move horizontally until the center of wafer 200 is aligned with the center of rotary motor 142.
[0060] It is understood that the position adjustment of the wafer 200 can be performed multiple times in multiple directions. For example, after completing adjustment of the wafer 200 in a certain horizontal direction, the rotary motor 142 drives the suction cup 143 to rotate the wafer 200 by a certain angle. The dual-motor linear module 161 then drives the two linear movers 1611 to move in a second horizontal direction, pushing the wafer 200 through the two cam bearing followers 162 to complete the position adjustment in another horizontal direction.
[0061] After the adjustment module 160 completes the position adjustment of the wafer 200, the origin detection module 170 positions the wafer 200. Specifically, the origin detection module 170 includes an optical fiber support 171 and an optical fiber sensor 172. The optical fiber support 171 is vertically mounted on the workbench 111, and the optical fiber sensor 172 is mounted on the optical fiber support 171 to detect the origin of the wafer 200.
[0062] It is understood that the origin of wafer 200 refers to the notch reserved at the edge of wafer 200 during the early production process. During the positioning process, the detection point of fiber optic sensor 172 is at the edge of wafer 200. Rotary motor 142 drives wafer 200 to rotate, causing the edge of wafer 200 to sequentially scan the detection points of fiber optic sensor 172 until the notch at the edge of wafer 200 is aligned with the detection point of fiber optic sensor 172. At this point, the controller controls rotary motor 142 to stop, completing the positioning of wafer 200. After the origin of wafer 200 is positioned, measurement module 180 performs contour measurement on wafer 200.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the connection structure between the measurement module 180 and the workbench 111 .
[0064] The measurement module 180 includes a vertical shooting component and a horizontal shooting component respectively arranged on the workbench 111. The vertical shooting component is used to shoot the wafer 200 from a vertical direction to obtain vertical image information of the wafer 200; the horizontal shooting component is used to shoot the wafer 200 from a horizontal direction to obtain horizontal image information of the wafer 200.
[0065] In this embodiment, the vertical shooting assembly includes a vertical slide 181, an intermediate pad 182, a horizontal slide 183, a mounting member 184, a vertical camera 185 and a vertical light source 186. The vertical slide 181 is upright on the workbench 111, and the intermediate pad 182 is connected to the vertical slide 181 for sliding in the vertical direction along the vertical slide 181; the mounting member 184 is connected to the intermediate pad 182 through the horizontal slide 183, and is driven by the horizontal slide 183 to move in the horizontal direction relative to the intermediate pad 182. The vertical camera 185 is arranged on the mounting member 184, and the vertical light source 186 and the vertical slide 181 are located below the vertical camera 185.
[0066] The vertical slide 181 includes a vertical slide rail and a vertical slider. The vertical slide rail extends vertically upward, and the vertical slider slides with the vertical slide rail. The middle pad 182 is connected to the vertical slider. By adjusting the position of the vertical slider on the vertical slide rail, the height of the middle pad 182 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the height adjustment of the vertical camera 185 for easy focusing.
[0067] The horizontal slide 183 includes a horizontal slide rail extending in the second horizontal direction, and a horizontal slider that slides with the horizontal slide rail. The horizontal slide rail is connected to the intermediate pad 182 through a mounting plate, and the mounting member 184 is connected to the horizontal slider. It can drive the vertical camera 185 to move in the second horizontal direction under the action of external force to obtain an ideal shooting effect.
[0068] The vertical slide 181 has two vertical sliders: the upper slider is connected to the middle pad 182, and the lower slider is connected to the vertical light source 186, allowing the height of the vertical light source 186 to be adjusted. When the vertical camera 185 is taking pictures, the vertical camera 185 is above the wafer 200, and the vertical light source 186 is below the wafer 200.
[0069] The horizontal shooting assembly includes a camera adjustment assembly 187, a horizontal camera assembly 188, a light source adjustment assembly 189 and a horizontal light source assembly 1891. The camera adjustment assembly 187 and the horizontal light source assembly 1891 are respectively arranged on the workbench 111. The horizontal camera assembly 188 is arranged on the camera adjustment assembly 187 and is used to move in the horizontal plane under the drive of the camera adjustment assembly 187. The horizontal light source assembly 1891 is arranged on the light source adjustment assembly 189 and is used to move in the horizontal plane under the drive of the light source adjustment assembly 189. The horizontal camera assembly 188 and the horizontal light source assembly 1891 are respectively located on opposite sides of the supporting module 140 in the second horizontal direction.
[0070] Camera adjustment assembly 187 is capable of adjusting the position of horizontal camera assembly 188 in the first and second horizontal directions, as well as the deflection angle within the horizontal plane, in response to external forces. Horizontal camera assembly 188 comprises a horizontal camera and a camera grating located in front of the horizontal camera lens. Light source adjustment assembly 189 is capable of adjusting the position of horizontal light source assembly 1891 in the first and second horizontal directions in response to external forces. In this embodiment, horizontal light source assembly 1891 comprises a horizontal light source and a light source grating located in front of the horizontal light source.
[0071] When the horizontal shooting assembly is working, the camera adjustment assembly 187 and the light source adjustment assembly 189 ensure that the horizontal camera assembly 188 and the horizontal light source assembly 1891 are aligned in the second horizontal direction, thereby obtaining an ideal shooting effect.
[0072] After the vertical shooting assembly and the horizontal shooting assembly complete vertical shooting and horizontal shooting of the wafer 200 , various contour information of the wafer 200 is collected, and then the transport module 130 transfers the wafer 200 after measurement to the loading and unloading module 120 .
[0073] In summary, the wafer profile measuring instrument 100 provided in this embodiment has the characteristics of higher measurement efficiency and better measurement accuracy.

Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
