Description

一种晶圆运载装置及方法Wafer carrier device and method

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及晶圆制造技术领域,尤其涉及的是一种晶圆运载装置及方法。The invention relates to the technical field of wafer manufacturing, in particular to a wafer carrying device and method.

背景技术Background technique

晶圆(wafer)是由高纯度,几乎无缺陷的单晶材料制成的,其纯度为99.9999999%(9N)或更高。以硅制晶圆生产为例,首先用晶圆锯(一种线锯)对硅锭进行切片。在切片后,先进行化学蚀刻以去除加工步骤中的晶体损伤通过研磨去除晶圆正面和背面的锯痕和表面缺陷,最后进行抛光以形成晶圆。Wafers are made of high-purity, nearly defect-free single-crystal material with a purity of 99.9999999% (9N) or higher. Taking silicon wafer production as an example, silicon ingots are first sliced with a wafer saw (a type of wire saw). After slicing, chemical etching is performed to remove crystal damage from processing steps, saw marks and surface defects on the front and back sides of the wafer are removed by grinding, and finally polishing is performed to form the wafer.

晶圆测试平台是芯片生产厂家用于检测晶圆片(Wafer)上的裸片(Die)的结构的一种自动化检测运动平台。主流的晶圆的尺寸正由8英寸往12英寸,甚至18英寸发展。现有技术中,晶圆测试平台的检测位置上更换晶圆时,需要先将晶圆取下放好,再去取另一个晶圆并放到检测位置,这个过程耗时较大,导致晶圆运输效率较低。同时,还存在晶圆运载装置成本较高的问题。The wafer test platform is an automatic detection motion platform used by chip manufacturers to detect the structure of the die on the wafer (Wafer). The size of mainstream wafers is developing from 8 inches to 12 inches, or even 18 inches. In the prior art, when replacing a wafer at the detection position of the wafer test platform, the wafer needs to be removed and put away first, and then another wafer is taken and placed at the detection position. This process takes a long time and causes the wafer Transport efficiency is low. At the same time, there is also the problem of high cost of the wafer carrying device.

因此,现有技术还有待于改进和发展。Therefore, the prior art still needs to be improved and developed.

所述第一晶圆取放板37位于所述第二晶圆取放板38下方。The first wafer pick-and-place plate 37 is located below the second wafer pick-and-place plate 38 .

晶圆运载装置30是指承载和运输晶圆的装置,晶圆运载装置30具体用于在检测位置、存储位置等晶圆相关位置之间运输晶圆。基座31是指用于安装晶圆运载装置30中各部件的器件。升降装置32是指用于沿Z轴方向移动以运输晶圆的器件。转盘33是指用于驱使延伸转架34转动的器件。延伸转架34是指向外延伸且可以转动的器件,延伸转架34向外延伸,便于向不同的装置(或晶圆相关位置)运输晶圆。第一驱动装置35是指用于驱动第一晶圆取放板37移动的器件。第二驱动装置36是指用于驱动第二晶圆取放板38移动的器件。第一晶圆取放板37是指用于取放待检测晶圆的器件。第二晶圆取放板38是指用于取放已检测晶圆的器件。The wafer carrying device 30 refers to a device for carrying and transporting wafers. The wafer carrying device 30 is specifically used to transport wafers between wafer-related positions such as inspection positions and storage positions. The base 31 refers to a device for mounting various components in the wafer carrier 30 . The lifting device 32 refers to a device for moving along the Z-axis direction to transport wafers. The turntable 33 refers to a device for driving the extension turntable 34 to rotate. The extension carousel 34 is a device that extends outwards and can rotate. The extension carousel 34 extends outwards to facilitate the transportation of wafers to different devices (or wafer-related positions). The first driving device 35 refers to a device for driving the movement of the first wafer pick-and-place plate 37 . The second driving device 36 refers to a device for driving the movement of the second wafer pick-and-place plate 38 . The first wafer pick-and-place board 37 refers to a device for picking and placing the wafer to be inspected. The second wafer pick-and-place board 38 refers to a device for picking and placing the inspected wafer.

由于本申请的晶圆运载装置30中设置两个晶圆取放板,且两个晶圆取放板相互独立,分别取放待检测晶圆和已检测晶圆,尤其是在检测位置上时,通过第二晶圆取放板38取出已检测晶圆后,可以立即采用第一晶圆取放板37放入待检测晶圆,缩短更换晶圆的时间,提高了晶圆的运载效率,且本申请的晶圆运载装置结构简单,成本较低,本发明中运载装置成本相较市面产品仅有10-30%的价格。Since the wafer carrying device 30 of the present application is provided with two wafer pick-and-place plates, and the two wafer pick-and-place plates are independent of each other, they can pick and place the wafer to be inspected and the inspected wafer respectively, especially when they are at the inspection position. After taking out the detected wafer through the second wafer pick-and-place plate 38, the first wafer pick-and-place plate 37 can be used to put the wafer to be tested immediately, shortening the time for replacing the wafer and improving the carrying efficiency of the wafer. Moreover, the wafer carrying device of the present application has a simple structure and low cost, and the cost of the carrying device of the present invention is only 10-30% of the price of the market products.

以竖直方向为Z轴方向,在取放晶圆时,需要将晶圆竖直向上托起以取出晶圆,将晶圆竖直向下放下以放置晶圆。由于晶圆运载装置30需要在各晶圆相关位置之间运输晶圆,晶圆运载装置30需要进行转动、伸出以及收回等动作,通过转盘33转动延伸转架34,实现转动的动作。通过第一驱动装置35驱动第一晶圆取放板37在延伸转架34上滑动,以及通过第二驱动装置36驱动第二晶圆取放板38在延伸转架34上滑动,实现伸出和收回的动作。Taking the vertical direction as the Z-axis direction, when picking and placing the wafer, it is necessary to lift the wafer vertically up to take out the wafer, and to place the wafer vertically down to place the wafer. Since the wafer carrying device 30 needs to transport wafers between various wafer-related positions, the wafer carrying device 30 needs to perform actions such as rotation, extension, and retraction, and the rotating movement is realized by rotating the extension turret 34 through the turntable 33 . The first wafer pick-and-place plate 37 is driven to slide on the extension carousel 34 by the first driving device 35, and the second wafer pick-and-place plate 38 is driven to slide on the extension carousel 34 by the second drive device 36, so as to realize the extension and the retraction action.

为了减小晶圆运载装置30的体积,第一晶圆取放板37位于第二晶圆取放板38的下方,位于上方的第二晶圆取放板38取出已检测晶圆后,可以直接采用位于下方的第一晶圆取放板37放置待检测晶圆,缩短了取放晶圆的时间间隔。In order to reduce the volume of the wafer carrying device 30, the first wafer pick-and-place plate 37 is located below the second wafer pick-and-place plate 38, and after the second wafer pick-and-place plate 38 above takes out the detected wafer, it can The wafer to be inspected is directly placed on the first wafer pick-and-place plate 37 located below, which shortens the time interval for picking and placing the wafer.
