Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a compatible multi-size wafer platform for mercury CV doping concentration detection. Background Technology

[0002] Mercury CV (Capacitance-Voltage) doping concentration detection is a technique that utilizes the CV characteristic of the Schottky barrier capacitance to measure doping concentration, providing crucial information about the doping concentration of semiconductor materials. Currently, mercury CV doping concentration testing equipment operates in two modes: top-out mercury mode and bottom-out mercury mode. In the bottom-out mercury mode, the wafer being tested must be placed face down. To reduce contact between the wafer face and the platform, a common method is to hollow out the area below where the wafer is placed on the platform. However, this method requires replacing the platform every time a wafer of a different size is tested, resulting in very low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention provides a multi-size compatible wafer platform for mercury CV doping concentration detection, designed to allow testing of wafers of different sizes and specifications using only one wafer platform.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a compatible multi-size wafer platform for mercury CV doping concentration detection, comprising: a carrier platform, wherein a plurality of concentrically arranged annular grooves are formed on the carrier platform, and each annular groove corresponds to the size of a wafer to be tested, and a plurality of blind holes are formed in the circumferential direction of each annular groove; wafer support pillars, wherein a plurality of wafer support pillars are detachably embedded in the blind holes of the annular grooves of the same size as the wafer to be tested, and the top of the wafer support pillars is higher than the upper surface of the carrier platform, and the wafer support pillars are used to support the wafer to be tested.

[0005] Preferably, the width of the annular groove is 3.5 mm.

[0006] Preferably, each of the annular grooves has six blind holes evenly spaced at a 60° angle.

[0007] Preferably, the blind hole is a circular hole with a diameter of 3 mm.

[0008] Preferably, the wafer support pillar is a cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, after the wafer support post is embedded in the blind hole, the top of the wafer support post protrudes 1 mm above the upper surface of the loading platform.

[0010] This utility model has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0011] 1. When switching between testing wafers of different sizes, this utility model does not require disassembling and replacing the platform; only the wafer support pillar needs to be removed, which saves time and effort and eliminates the need to prepare multiple platforms of different sizes, thus saving costs.

[0012] 2. This utility model uses wafer support pillars to support the wafer to be tested, thereby reducing the contact between the front side of the wafer and the carrier platform, and reducing defects on the wafer surface caused by contact. Attached Figure Description
