    摘要: A process is provided for inspection of a variety of structures on the basis of a golden template, that was attained by recording and statistical analysis of greyscale pictures and is compared to the greyscale picture of the structure to be evaluated based on position. The underlying task is to report any such inspection process, with which a positioning of the test structure relative to the golden template and a structure detection with sub-pixel accuracy is carried out. In positioning of each further structure to be recorded, which follows a first recorded structure, the further structure is fundamentally positioned in accordance with the first positioned structure, applicable characteristic values of the greyscale picture recorded in this position are determined and hence a degree of similarity is determined. On this basis, the position of further structures relative to the primary position are determined and corrected with sub-pixel accuracy, before a new greyscale picture is recorded, which forms the basis for further analysis.

    摘要: A method is provided for increasing the accuracy of the positioning of a first object relative to a second object. The method overcomes the disadvantageous influence of thermal drift between a first and a second object during a positioning of a first object on a second object. The method finds applications in manufacturing, for example, in the manufacturing of semiconductor components. The method utilizes recognition of structures on the second object which have a minimum structure width. At a first instant, using one recognition procedure, the first object is positioned on the second object in a desired position. The relative displacement of the two objects is determined at the first instant and on at least one subsequent instant. A second recognition procedure may be used for this purpose. The second recognition procedure may have a resolution accuracy which is different than the resolution accuracy of the first resolution procedure. The second recognition procedure may be a pattern recognition method. The relative displacement determined at the second instant is used to correct the positioning of the first and second objects as necessary to maintain a desired position of the two objects.

    摘要: The invention, which relates to a test apparatus with loading device which has a chuck, which is provided with a bearing surface for a test substrate and with a chuck drive, by means of which the chuck can be displaced with a working area, and which has a receiving means for receiving test substrates, which can be displaced from a working area of the chuck to a receiving position outside the working area, is based on the object of increasing the accuracy of the movement of the chuck. Moreover, in the case of test apparatus with a controlled atmosphere, a further object is to prevent the chuck from being exposed to the open-air atmosphere. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that a carriage, which can be displaced between a position close to the chuck, in which the chuck is located in a position inside the working area, and the receiving position, is provided, which carriage is provided with a holder, in which the test substrate can be at least indirectly inserted in such a way that the test substrate, when the carriage is in the position close to the chuck, is located above the chuck. The holder and the chuck can move vertically relative to one another when the carriage is in the position close to the chuck.

    摘要: A method of contacting a contact area with the tip of a contact needle (contact tip) in a prober and the arrangement of such a prober, is based on the object of ensuring reliable contacting and direct observation of the establishment of the contact between the contact tip and the contact area when contacting contact pads of small dimensions. The prober substantially includes a base frame with a movement device including a clamping fixture for receiving a semiconductor wafer and also contact needles, which are arranged opposite the free surface of the semiconductor wafer. The contacting of the contact tips initially requires a horizontal positioning of the semiconductor wafer, so that the contact area and the contact tip are one above the other and at a distance from each other, and subsequently moving vertically in the direction of the contact tip, until a contact of the contact tips with the contact area is established. The object is achieved by the vertical movement of the semiconductor wafer until the end position is reached being directly observed in a horizontal direction of observation and, for this purpose, an observation device is arranged in such a way that the observation axis runs in the spacing above the free wafer surface.
