Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, specifically to a visual inspection device for wafer slice flatness. Background Technology
[0002] In semiconductor manufacturing, the flatness of wafer slicing has a decisive impact on the quality of subsequent processes. Poor wafer flatness can lead to deviations in critical process steps such as photolithography and etching, thereby affecting the performance and production yield of the final chip. Traditionally, flatness inspection mainly relies on contact measurement tools, such as probe gauges. Although these tools offer high measurement accuracy, they suffer from drawbacks such as slow inspection speed, potential damage to the wafer surface, and difficulty in achieving fully automated inspection. With the advancement of machine vision technology, non-contact visual inspection methods have begun to be applied to wafer flatness inspection.
[0003] However, current visual inspection equipment typically only performs inspections from a single viewpoint (e.g., only from above or the side), which limits their ability to comprehensively assess wafer slice flatness and surface quality. Furthermore, existing equipment lacks the flexibility to adapt to wafer slices of different sizes, leading to reduced inspection efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a visual inspection device for wafer slice flatness. Utility Model Content

A longitudinal slide rail is provided on the adjacent side of the semiconductor wafer tray. Two sets of slide blocks are arranged sequentially from top to bottom on the longitudinal slide rail. A longitudinal vision camera mount and a longitudinal filter holder are respectively mounted on the two sets of slide blocks and slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail. A longitudinal vision camera is mounted on the longitudinal vision camera mount. A longitudinal filter is mounted on the longitudinal filter holder.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, both the slide blocks on the longitudinal slide rail and the slide blocks on the transverse slide rail are equipped with locking bolts.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the cabinet has a door on the front, and the door is movably connected to the cabinet via hinges.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the longitudinal vision camera is used to detect the longitudinal flatness of the wafer slice, and the transverse vision camera is used to detect the transverse flatness of the wafer slice.
