Description

Technical Field

[0002] The inspection equipment for the CMP polishing unit flattener is specifically designed to inspect the surface flatness and related parameters of wafers during the CMP process. It utilizes various inspection technologies to monitor the wafer surface condition in real time during polishing, ensuring that the wafer achieves the required nanometer-level flatness and surface quality.

[0003] Traditional detection methods include contact probe methods and optical microscopy. However, contact probe methods require the probe to directly contact the sample surface during detection. For soft or fragile samples, the probe may cause scratches or damage to the sample surface, and the measurement speed is relatively slow, making it difficult to quickly complete the detection of large areas. The resolution of optical microscopy is limited by the size and focal length of the optical lens, and can usually only reach about 0.2 micrometers, making it impossible to observe finer surface structures. For large objects that require high-resolution observation, the visible area of ​​optical microscopes is small. Therefore, a device that uses lasers to detect the flatness of semiconductor surfaces is needed to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the mounting base 203 is disposed inside the slide groove 201 and slides within the slide groove 201. The signal processing module 403, amplification module 404, filtering module 405, and analog-to-digital conversion module 406 are all electrically connected. A working indicator light 408 is fixedly connected to the side of the control box 401. A switch 409 is provided on the side of the control box 401.

The photodetector receives the reflected light and converts it into an electrical signal.
