摘要:
It is possible to inspect scratches and staining on a wafer surface on the basis of an LPD map obtained from a particle counter 11, by providing a means 21 for detecting aggregation of clustered point defects (LPD) from two-dimensional distribution information 30 for such fine LPD on the surface of a silicon wafer, and an improvement in the inspection efficiency and the precision of judgements of “defective” status can be achieved. Furthermore, the system is devised so that the trend of generation of scratches and staining in a specified process can easily be detected by accumulating wafer surface information such as scratch information, staining information and the like for the wafer surface detected by a wafer surface inspection device 11 (especially as image information or numerical information), and superposing sets of information thus accumulated. Plans for improving processes can be made by both the wafer supplier and wafer consumer by sharing such information with both parties.
摘要:
A method of sticking a semiconductor wafer and its sticking equipment. The semiconductor wafer can be flat and efficiently stuck on a plate. The semiconductor wafer, which has its inner surface coated with an adhesive, is tiltedly configured to permit raising a circumference to a height of Ah and located the wafer above a sticking position on the plate. The semiconductor wafer is pressed by a lower end of a stamp-press to be parallel to a surface of the plate. Then a vacuum chuck (2) stops sucking to release the semiconductor wafer from a transporting arm, and the transporting arm is moved away. The stamp-press is moved downward to press a whole surface of the semiconductor wafer.
摘要:
A device for removing objects adhered to a plate for bonding a semiconductor wafer, which can efficiently and completely remove the objects adhered on the chamfered portion of the bonding plate. The rotating shaft 12 of the head for removing adhered objects from the peripheral surface is inclinatorily mounted with respect to the top surface 52 of the bonding plate 5. The peripheral chamfered portion 51 is not aligned with the extended line of the central line 12c of the rotating shaft 12. The upper peripheral surface 21a of the outer tip 21 of the chuck 2 is inclinatorily mounted.
