Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of devices for detecting surface defects on SiC wafers, specifically a device for detecting surface defects on SiC wafers. Background Technology

[0002] During the manufacturing process of SiC wafers, defects such as cracks, scratches, and peeling may occur on the wafer surface. There are two reasons for the formation of these defects: one is that they are originally formed during the wafer growth process, and the other is that they are caused after the wafer has gone through various processing steps. In order for the wafer to achieve the expected performance, it is necessary to ensure that the wafer surface is basically free of defects.

[0003] However, it still has some drawbacks. For example, the current SiC wafer surface defect detection devices have a relatively simple structure. Most of them simply place the wafer flat under the optical detector and then complete the irradiation detection through the optical detector. Moreover, the reverse side of the wafer also needs to be inspected for defects. The operator simply flips the wafer over and then performs the inspection, which reduces the detection efficiency of the device.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a device for detecting surface defects on SiC wafers. Utility Model Content
