A wafer inspection apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a wafer inspection apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor having a stage chuck on which a wafer is seated for inspecting a defect of a wafer, the wafer inspection apparatus being disposed on the stage chuck, And a wafer position sensing unit for sensing a position of the wafer mounted on the stage chuck, and a reflecting plate reflecting a laser beam irradiated from the wafer position sensing unit at a predetermined position of the stage chuck.

상기 웨이퍼 위치 감지부는 레이저 빔을 상기 스테이지 척으로 조사하는 조사부와, 상기 조사부에서 조사된 레이저 빔이 상기 반사판에서 반사되어 감지되는 수광부를 포함한다. The wafer position detector includes an irradiation unit for irradiating a laser beam to the stage chuck, and a light receiving unit for reflecting and detecting the laser beam irradiated from the irradiation unit.

본 발명은 반도체 소자를 제조하기 위한 웨이퍼 검사장치에 웨이퍼 감지수단을 구비함으로서, 스테이지 척에 안착되는 웨이퍼의 상태를 확인할 수 있는 감지할 수 있게 되어, 웨이퍼가 비정상적인 상태에서 웨이퍼 검사공정을 수행하지 않게 되는 효과가 있다. The present invention is provided with a wafer sensing means in the wafer inspection apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor device, it is possible to detect the state of the wafer seated on the stage chuck, so that the wafer does not perform the wafer inspection process in an abnormal state It is effective.

이하, 첨부된 도면 및 실시 예를 통해 본 발명의 실시 예를 구체적으로 살펴보면 다음과 같다. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

본 발명에 따른 반도체 제조용 웨이퍼 검사장치는 스테이지 척(10), 구동부(20), 트랜스퍼 암(미도시), 검사 수단(30) 및 웨이퍼 위치 감지부(24)에 포함하여 이루어져 있으며, 상기 스테이지 척(10), 구동부(20), 트랜스퍼 암(미도시), 검사 수단(30)의 구성은 종래의 기술과 동일하므로 설명의 중복을 피하기 위하여 상세한 설명은 생략하고, 새로이 부가되는 구성부재들의 동작을 중심으로 하여 상세히 설명한다. The wafer inspection apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor according to the present invention includes a stage chuck 10, a driver 20, a transfer arm (not shown), an inspection means 30, and a wafer position detector 24. 10, the configuration of the drive unit 20, transfer arm (not shown), and inspection means 30 is the same as in the prior art, the detailed description is omitted in order to avoid duplication of description, operation of the newly added components It demonstrates in detail centering.

첨부된 도 3a 및 도 3b에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 반도체 제조용 웨이퍼 검사장치에는 상기 스테이지 척(10) 상에 배치되고, 상기 스테이지 척(10)에 안착된 웨이퍼(12)의 위치를 감지할 수 있도록 하는 웨이퍼 위치 감지부(24)와, 스테이지 척(10)의 소정 위치에 상기 웨이퍼 위치 감지부(24)로부터 조사되는 레이저 빔을 반사하는 반사판(21)을 더 포함하여 이루어진다. 도 3a에 도시된 바와 같이 반사판(21)은 상기 스테이지 척(10) 측부로 돌출된다.
이때, 웨이퍼 위치 감지부(24)는 도 3a에 도시된 바와 같이 레이저 빔을 돌출된 반사판(21)으로 조사하는 조사부와, 조사부에서 조사된 레이저 빔이 상기 반사판(21)에서 반사되어 감지되는 수광부를 구비한다.
As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the wafer inspection apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor according to the present invention is disposed on the stage chuck 10 and the position of the wafer 12 seated on the stage chuck 10. It further comprises a wafer position sensing unit 24 for sensing and a reflector 21 reflecting the laser beam irradiated from the wafer position sensing unit 24 at a predetermined position of the stage chuck 10. As shown in FIG. 3A, the reflector 21 protrudes toward the side of the stage chuck 10.
At this time, the wafer position detection unit 24 is an irradiation unit for irradiating a laser beam to the protruding reflector 21, as shown in Figure 3a, and a light receiving unit for the laser beam irradiated from the irradiation unit is reflected by the reflector 21 and detected It is provided.

이와 같은 본 발명에 따른 반도체 제조용 웨이퍼 검사장치는 트랜스퍼 암(미도시)에 의해 다수의 웨이퍼가 수납된 카세트(cassette, 미도시)로부터 스테이지 척(stage, 10) 위로 웨이퍼(12)가 놓이면 상기 스테이지 척(10)이 검사위치로 이동하고, 웨이퍼 위치 감지부(24)의 조사부로부터 레이저빔을 조사시킨다. The wafer inspection apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor according to the present invention as described above includes a wafer 12 placed on a stage chuck 10 from a cassette in which a plurality of wafers are stored by a transfer arm (not shown). The chuck 10 moves to the inspection position, and irradiates a laser beam from the irradiation portion of the wafer position detection unit 24.

이때, 조사된 레이저 빔이 웨이퍼(12)에 흡수되면, 웨이퍼(12)는 비정상적인 위치에 안착된 상태이므로, 트랜스터 암을 통해 웨이퍼(12)를 검사위치로 다시 이동시키고, 조사된 레이저 빔이 반사판(21)에서 반사되어 수광부를 통해 감지되면, 웨이퍼(12)는 정상적인 위치에 안착된 상태이므로, 수평방향(X, Y방향)으로 움직이면서 웨이퍼 검사단계가 진행되는 것이다.
즉 웨이퍼(12)가 스테이지 척(10)의 정상적인 위치에 안착할 경우 웨이퍼(120)는 상기 스테이지 척(10)의 측부로 돌출된 반사판(21)을 가리지 않기 때문에 반사판(21)에 의해 반사된 레이저 빔은 예컨대, 100이라는 감도로 수광되어 웨이퍼(12)의 안착 상태가 정상이라고 판단할 수 있습니다. 반면에 웨이퍼(12)가 스테이지 척(10)의 비정상적인 위치에 안착할 경우 웨이퍼(120)는 돌출된 반사판(21)을 가리게 되어 조사된 레이저 빔은 웨이퍼(12)에 일부 흡수되거나 반사되고 반사된 레이저 빔은 예컨대, 100이하의 감도로 수광되어 웨이퍼(120)의 안착 상태가 비정상적이라고 판단할 수 있습니다.
광학적 장치에 의해 웨이퍼 표면을 검사하는 검사단계가 완료되면 상기 스테이지는 다시 도어(door)방향으로 이동하고 웨이퍼가 스테이지의 팝업핀(pop up pin)에 의해 들려지면 트랜스터 암은 상기 웨이퍼를 카세트로 반송하는 것이다.
At this time, when the irradiated laser beam is absorbed by the wafer 12, the wafer 12 is in a state of being settled in an abnormal position, so that the wafer 12 is moved back to the inspection position through the transfer arm, and the irradiated laser beam is When the light is reflected by the reflector 21 and sensed through the light receiver, the wafer 12 is placed in a normal position, and thus the wafer inspection step is performed while moving in the horizontal direction (X, Y direction).
That is, when the wafer 12 is seated at the normal position of the stage chuck 10, the wafer 120 does not cover the reflecting plate 21 protruding to the side of the stage chuck 10, and thus is reflected by the reflecting plate 21. For example, the laser beam may be received with a sensitivity of 100 to determine that the seating state of the wafer 12 is normal. On the other hand, when the wafer 12 is seated at an abnormal position of the stage chuck 10, the wafer 120 covers the protruding reflector 21 so that the irradiated laser beam is partially absorbed or reflected and reflected on the wafer 12. For example, the laser beam may be received with a sensitivity of 100 or less to determine that the seating state of the wafer 120 is abnormal.
When the inspection step of inspecting the wafer surface by the optical device is completed, the stage is moved back to the door direction, and when the wafer is lifted by the stage's pop up pin, the transfer arm transfers the wafer to the cassette. To return.

따라서 웨이퍼(12)가 상기 스테이지 척(10)에 놓이면 상기 웨이퍼 위치 감지부(24)에 의하여 웨이퍼(12)의 정상적인 안착 유무를 감지할 수 있는 것이다. Therefore, when the wafer 12 is placed on the stage chuck 10, the wafer position detecting unit 24 may detect whether the wafer 12 is normally seated.
