In the prior art, visual inspection is used for detection. For reference, there is a semiconductor wafer surface defect detection device described in announcement number CN222600960U, which includes a detection box. A motor is fixedly connected to the side surface of the detection box. A second rotating shaft is provided on the front surface of the motor. A second gear is fixedly connected to the front surface of the second rotating shaft. A first gear is meshed with the outer surface of the second gear. A first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the first gear.
[0003] The aforementioned device assists in detection by rotating the clamped wafer, and can detect the front circuit part and the back polished part of the wafer. However, it cannot record information from both sides at the same time, and the method of recording surface information is relatively simple. When focusing on detecting the circuit part, it still performs single-row detection, which reduces the detection efficiency of the device. Utility Model Content

[0007] A vision module is movably connected to the outer surface of the reciprocating lead screw. The vision module includes a second detection plate and a mounting base. The second detection plate is fitted to the outer surface of the reciprocating lead screw.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a semiconductor wafer surface defect detection device includes a housing 1, a controller 5 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 1, a display 6 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 1, a servo motor 2 fixedly connected to the side surface of the housing 1, and a reciprocating lead screw 201 fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 2.
[0024] A vision module 7 is movably connected to the outer surface of the reciprocating lead screw 201. The vision module 7 includes a second detection plate 704 and a mounting base 705. The second detection plate 704 is fitted and connected to the outer surface of the reciprocating lead screw 201. A hinge plate 701 is hinged to one end of the second detection plate 704, and a first detection plate 703 is hinged to one end of the hinge plate 701. There are two mounting bases 705, which are fixedly connected to the upper surfaces of the first detection plate 703 and the second detection plate 704, respectively. A camera 707 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting base 705.
[0025] Specifically, during use, the vision module 7, in conjunction with the controller 5, detects the outer surface of the semiconductor wafer, and the results are displayed on the display 6. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated further here. The servo motor 2 is started, and the reciprocating screw 201, driven by the spiral groove on the outer surface, enables the vision module 7 to perform reciprocating linear motion. The shape of the vision module 7 itself is adjustable. When the second detection plate 704, the hinge plate 701, and the first detection plate 703 in the vision module 7 are on the same straight line, the two cameras 707 record visual information from below, which can simultaneously detect two rows of crystals, improving detection efficiency. When the two cameras 707 are facing each other, visual information can be recorded from both sides of the same row of crystals at the same time, which is suitable for fine detection of a single row of crystals, making the detection method more flexible.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a lifting mechanism 3 is provided inside the housing 1. The lifting mechanism 3 includes an electric push rod 301 and a slide 303. The electric push rod 301 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the housing 1. A connecting frame 302 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 301. The slide 303 is slidably connected to the inside of the housing 1. The connecting frame 302 and the slide 303 are fixedly connected. A glass plate 4 is placed on the upper surface of the slide 303.
[0028] In this embodiment, the crystal is placed on the upper surface of the glass plate 4. The width of the glass plate 4 can be customized according to actual usage requirements. When performing single-row testing, a narrow glass plate 4 is used to facilitate flipping the first testing plate 703. The electric push rod 301 is activated, and the output end of the electric push rod 301, together with the connecting frame 302, drives the slide 303 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the glass plate 4 in the housing 1, which facilitates the testing of crystals of different specifications.
[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a support leg 101 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the box 1, a through groove 102 is opened on the upper surface of the box 1, and a box door 103 is hinged to the front surface of the box 1.
[0030] In this embodiment, the support leg 101 supports the housing 1, and the through groove 102 facilitates the entry of wires into the housing 1. The connection method of the wires is as follows: Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the door 103 is used to reduce the interference of external factors on the interior of the box 1 during testing.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to remedy the problem that the first detection plate 703 is inconvenient to adjust in Embodiment 1.
[0033] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the vision module 7 also includes a connecting shaft 708, a threaded sleeve 702, and a detection lamp 706. The connecting shaft 708 is embedded in and connected to the side surface of the hinge plate 701, and can hinge the second detection plate 704 and the first detection plate 703. The two ends of the connecting shaft 708 are threaded, and the threaded sleeve 702 is threaded to the two ends of the connecting shaft 708. The detection lamp 706 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting base 705. The reciprocating screw 201 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The inner wall of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to a guide rod 202, which passes through the second detection plate 704.
[0034] In this embodiment, manually rotating the threaded sleeve 702 removes the squeezing force on the second detection plate 704 and the first detection plate 703, thereby adjusting the angle between the first detection plate 703, the second detection plate 704, and the hinge plate 701, so that the three form a U-shape. Rotating the threaded sleeve 702 in the opposite direction fixes the second detection plate 704 and the first detection plate 703, allowing the two cameras 707 to be positioned opposite each other. The guide rod 202 limits the movement of the second detection plate 704.
[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a wire storage box 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the hinge plate 701. A limit post 901 is threadedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the wire storage box 9. A blocking ring 902 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the limit post 901. A spring 903 is nested and connected to the outer surface of the limit post 901. A contact plate 904 is nested and movably connected to the outer surface of the limit post 901. A wire frame 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second detection plate 704. A rubber sleeve 801 is embedded and connected to the upper surface of the wire frame 8.
[0036] In this embodiment, since the second detection plate 704 and the first detection plate 703 are restricted by the wire when they are flipped, the length of the wire is adjusted beforehand. Specifically, the excess wire is stored in the wire storage box 9. The contact plate 904 is manually slid upward to overcome the elastic force of the spring 903 and separate from the wire. The wire can then be pulled out from the opening on the side surface of the wire storage box 9. After releasing the wire, it can be re-fixed by the contact plate 904 to compensate for the length of the wire and prevent the wire from affecting the angle adjustment between the first detection plate 703 and the second detection plate 704. Before entering the wire storage box 9, the wire passes through the rubber sleeve 801. The rubber sleeve 801 and the through groove 102 are slidably connected, which can pull the wire when the position of the vision module 7 is adjusted.
