Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a support component and a three-dimensional X-ray system. Background Technology
[0002] Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a prior art carrier 1 and a panel 2 on the carrier 1. The carrier 1 clamps the panel 2 at the center of its bottom edge. The width of the portion of the carrier 1 used to clamp the panel 2 is, for example, 20 mm. Currently, the carrier 1 can only support panels 2 with dimensions of 100*100 mm or less. If an electrical failure is detected in the panel, non-destructive analysis using 3D X-rays will be performed. If the panel size is 300*300 mm, it must first be cut to a size of 100*100 mm or less before it can be fixed and supported by the carrier 1 for non-destructive analysis. However, this approach results in the cut sample being unusable for subsequent processes, thus rendering the entire panel unusable.
[0003] Therefore, 3D X-rays cannot currently analyze a complete 300*300mm panel, mainly because there is no suitable carrier. Utility Model Content

[0035] To better understand the spirit of the embodiments of this application, the following description is based on some preferred embodiments of this application.
[0036] Embodiments of this application will be described in detail below.

[0040] Currently, the sample carrier 1 for 3D X-rays is only suitable for samples smaller than 100*100mm. The area of the carrier 1 used to fix the panel 2 is too small. If the sample size is larger than 100*100mm, the sample is prone to slipping and tipping over.
[0041] Therefore, the existing technology has the following problems: poor yield improvement efficiency. Panels are the current main product. If final analysis (FA) cannot be performed, the process improvement progress will be delayed. Low resource utilization. If samples are cut for final analysis, the cut samples cannot be recycled for subsequent processes, resulting in panel scrap.
[0042] Figure 2 A front view of a support member 100 and the panel-level wafer 200 supported thereon, according to an embodiment of this application, is shown. Figure 3 A side view of a support member 100 and the panel-level wafer 200 supported thereon, according to an embodiment of this application, is shown.
[0043] This application provides a support member 100 for supporting a panel-level wafer 200 for three-dimensional X-ray inspection. The support member includes: a clamping part 10 for clamping the panel-level wafer 200; a fixing part 20 for supporting the clamping part 10; and a slide rail part 30 connecting the clamping part 10 and the fixing part 20. The clamping part 10 moves horizontally via the slide rail part 30 to change the inspection position of the panel-level wafer 200. This application provides a support member 100 capable of supporting a panel-level wafer 200. The support member 100 allows the panel-level wafer 200 to move horizontally via the slide rail part 30, thereby adjusting the inspection position of the panel-level wafer 200 and facilitating inspection by a three-dimensional X-ray machine.
[0044] Figure 4 A top view of the fixing part 20 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the fixing part 20 is a cuboid. Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, the fixing part 20 has a cross shape and includes a first part 21 disposed directly below the slide rail part 30 and a second part 22 extending in a direction perpendicular to the first part 21.
[0045] Figure 5 The embodiment of this application shows a three-dimensional X-ray system 1000 for the inspection of a panel-level wafer 200. The three-dimensional X-ray system 1000 includes: a light source 400 for emitting X-rays 402; a detector 500 for receiving X-rays 402; and a stage 300. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support member 100 shown Figure 5 (Not shown) is placed on the stage 300. The support 100 is used to make the panel-level wafer 200 stand upright for detection. The support 100 is disposed between the light source 400 and the detector 500.
[0046] In some embodiments, X-ray 402 is emitted by light source 400, passes through panel-level wafer 200, and is received by detector 500.
[0047] Reference Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the support member 100 is mounted on the platform 300 via the fixing part 20, and the slide rail part 30 is mounted on the fixing part 20.
[0048] In some embodiments, the fixing part 20 is attached to the platform 300 by screws.
[0049] In some embodiments, the fixing part 20 has three screw holes 24 and is secured to the platform 300 by three screws. The three screw holes 24 are located at the three vertices of a triangle to make the locking between the fixing part 20 and the platform 300 more secure.
[0050] In some embodiments, screws secure the second portion 22 to the stage 300.
[0051] In some embodiments, the clamping part 10 is disposed on the slide rail part 30 and contacts the panel-level wafer 200.
[0052] In some embodiments, the slide rail 30 includes: a first slide rail 31, which is fixedly connected to the fixing part 20; and a second slide rail 32, which is fixedly connected to the clamping part 10. The second slide rail 32 moves relative to the first slide rail 31 to allow the clamping part 10 to move horizontally.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first slide rail 31 has a groove 34, and the second slide rail 32 has a protrusion 36 that is accommodated in the groove 34.
[0054] In some embodiments, the second slide rail 32 further includes a knob 38 for limiting the movement of the protrusion 36.
[0055] In some embodiments, the clamping portion 10 includes: a first clamping plate 11 and a second clamping plate 12 disposed opposite to each other, extending longitudinally, for clamping opposite first sides 201 and second sides 202 of the panel-level wafer 200, respectively; and a support plate 13, to which the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are fixed, the support plate 13 for supporting a third side 203 of the panel-level wafer 200. The first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are fixed to the support plate 13 by screws 16, and the relative positions of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 with respect to the support plate 13 are adjustable.
[0056] In some embodiments, the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 each have oppositely disposed receiving grooves to receive the first side 201 and the second side 202. The horizontal dimension of the portion of the panel-level wafer 200 received by the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 is, for example, 1 mm.
[0057] In some embodiments, the lengths of the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are less than the lengths of the first side 201 and the second side 202.
[0058] In some embodiments, both the first clamping plate 11 and the second clamping plate 12 are provided with limiting members 14 that abut against the first side 201 and the second side 202, respectively. The limiting members 14 are, for example, rubber plugs, to prevent damage to the panel-level wafer 200.
[0059] In some embodiments, the panel-level wafer 200 has a horizontal dimension of 260 mm to 300 mm.
[0060] In some embodiments, the three-dimensional X-ray system 1000 further includes a rotary stage 600 disposed below the stage 300 for driving the stage 300, the support member 100, and the panel-level wafer 200 to rotate.
[0061] In some embodiments, the rotation angle is 360°.
[0062] In some embodiments, the maximum horizontal movement distance of the clamping part 10 is greater than or equal to half the horizontal dimension of the panel-level wafer 200. For example, the panel-level wafer 200 has a dimension of 300*300mm, and the maximum horizontal movement distance of the clamping part 10 is 150mm, meaning the second slide rail 32 can slide 150mm on the first slide rail 31. This allows the three-dimensional X-ray system 1000 to detect at least half of the panel-level wafer 200. Then, after the rotary table 600 rotates the stage 300, support member 100, and panel-level wafer 200 by 180°, the three-dimensional X-ray system 1000 can detect the other half of the panel-level wafer 200.
[0063] In some embodiments, the three-dimensional X-ray system 1000 can also be used in conjunction with a vacuum system, and additional rotating parts can be designed so that the panel-level wafer 200 can also rotate about its lateral central axis (perpendicular to the rotation axis 602 of the rotary table 600) to achieve more detection angles.
[0064] This application provides a novel three-dimensional X-ray carrier for the inspection of square panel-level packaging, which can fix the panel-level wafer 200 to the support member 100 and keep it stable without shaking. The support member 100 is installed inside the three-dimensional X-ray machine.

Figure 7The image shown is a 10x magnified image obtained by scanning a redistribution layer of a chip 2000 on a fan-out substrate using the 3D X-ray system 1000 of this application embodiment. The 3D image of the chip 2000 on the fan-out substrate is clearly constructed. The 3D X-ray system 1000 of this application embodiment is also applicable to packages such as System-in-a-Package (SIP).
[0066] The support member 100 and the three-dimensional X-ray system 1000 of this application embodiment can stably support the large-size panel-level wafer 200 for three-dimensional X-ray inspection, assist in improving the yield of the process, and avoid the loss of panel resources (approximately 200,000 NTD per wafer).
[0067] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
