Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wafer incoming material inspection technology, and in particular relates to a microscope inspection device for wafer incoming material inspection. Background Technology

[0002] Wafer materials refer to the raw materials used in the semiconductor manufacturing process. They are usually circular thin films made of silicon. In the semiconductor manufacturing process, wafers are the most basic carrier material. All circuits and chips need to be processed on their surface. In order to ensure that the quality of wafers meets the requirements of subsequent semiconductor manufacturing processes, they need to be inspected using microscope inspection equipment.

[0003] Existing microscope inspection equipment uses vacuum adsorption to fix incoming wafers to avoid surface damage and ensure proper fixation. However, since this method relies entirely on vacuum adsorption and lacks any limiting mechanisms on either side of the wafer, the wafer's position can easily shift during inspection due to manipulation, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the inspection. To address these issues, we provide a microscope inspection device for incoming wafers to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] Specifically: The microscope body 2 is an optical instrument used to magnify and observe the details of objects, making tiny objects invisible to the naked eye visible. It is a mature existing technology. The placement plate 3, clamping plate 4, motor 5 and threaded rod 6 are all located inside the groove 10. The bottom of the placement plate 3 is fixedly connected to the partition plate 11. The top of the placement plate 3 and the partition plate 11 are both provided with adsorption holes.

The threads on both sides of the surface of the threaded rod 6 are in opposite directions. The cleaning pad 7 is in contact with the objective lens of the microscope body 2.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5Based on Embodiment 1, the clamping assembly further includes a connecting plate 9, which is fixedly connected to the microscope body 2. A groove 10 is formed on the top of the connecting plate 9, and a partition 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the groove 10. A piston plate 12 is provided at the bottom of the partition 11, and a spring 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the groove 10. A connecting belt 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the piston plate 12, and one side of the connecting belt 14 passes through the partition 11 and is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 4. A through groove adapted to the connecting belt 14 is formed on the top of the partition 11, and a guide roller is movably connected to one side of the through groove. The driving assembly also includes a threaded sleeve 1. 5. The threaded sleeve 15 is threaded onto the surface of the threaded rod 6. A connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the front side of the threaded sleeve 15. The connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 4. A slider is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded sleeve 15. The protective assembly also includes a vertical rod 17. The top of the vertical rod 17 is fixedly connected to the microscope body 2. A ring 18 is movably connected to the bottom of the vertical rod 17.

A soft pad 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping plate 4. The piston plate 12 is in contact with the partition plate 11. One side of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the piston plate 12.

[0027] Specifically: the piston plate 12 is in contact with the connecting plate 9, the connecting belt 14 will not be stretched due to pulling, it has no elasticity, and can ensure that the piston plate 12 can be moved normally when the clamping plate 4 moves. The guide roller is in contact with the connecting belt 14, and the guide roller is movably connected to one side of the through groove through a bearing. One side of the threaded rod 6 is movably connected to one side of the groove 10 through a bearing. One side of the groove 10 has a sliding groove adapted to the slider, which can limit the threaded sleeve 15 and prevent it from rotating. The ring 18 is movably connected to the vertical rod 17 through a bearing. The anti-slip pad 19 is also ring-shaped, and it and the ring 18 are both located on the surface of the cleaning pad 7.

The cleaning pad 7 and the anti-slip pad 19 are on the same horizontal plane, which can ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning pad 7 on the objective lens.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The wafer to be tested is placed on the top of the placement plate 3, and the motor 5 drives the threaded rod 6 to rotate. The threaded sleeve 15 and the connecting rod 16 drive the clamping plate 4 and the soft pad 20 to move. At this time, the connecting belt 14 drives the piston plate 12 to move, generating a negative pressure at the bottom of the wafer to adsorb the wafer. At the same time, the spring 13 is compressed. The moving clamping plate 4 and soft pad 20 can clamp and fix the wafer on both sides. The negative pressure generated by the movement of the piston plate 12 can adsorb the bottom of the wafer, thereby strengthening the fixation of the wafer and preventing it from shifting in position during the testing process, thus ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the testing.

[0029] Rotating the housing 8 allows the objective lens to be used to inspect incoming wafers. As the housing 8 rotates, the cleaning pad 7 wipes the objective lens to ensure its cleanliness during inspection. When not in use, the cleaning pad 7 and the anti-slip pad 19 protect the objective lens from damage and dust adhesion. To replace the cleaning pad 7, simply unscrew the housing 8. This ensures effective cleaning and makes the product convenient to use.
