    摘要: A wafer prober for contacting probe needles of a probe card to bonding pads of a chip formed on a wafer, for allowing examination of characteristics of the chip, is disclosed. The wafer prober includes a wafer holder for holding a wafer and moving the same in X and Y directions. By the wafer holder, the wafer can be moved from an alignment information detecting station whereat alignment information can be detected by use of a TV camera, to an examining station whereat the probe needles of the probe card are used for the examination. The position of the wafer in a Z direction at the time when the alignment information is detected by the TV camera, can be made substantially coincident with the position of the wafer in the Z direction at the time when the probe needles contact the bonding pads. By this, an error caused by the movement of the wafer holder in the Z direction does not affect against the alignment accuracy of the wafer in the X and Y directions, such that the probe needles can correctly contact the bonding pads.

    摘要: A wafer prober usable with a probe card for examination of chips formed on a wafer is disclosed. The wafer prober has a function for automatically aligning bonding pads of each chip with probe needles of the probe card. The prober includes a contact plate movable in X and Y directions with a wafer chuck. The contact blade is pressed against at least one of the tips of the probe needles, and the thus contacted needle tip is observed by a TV camera from the underneath of the contact plate. The video signal obtained thereby is used for the alignment between the bonding pads and the probe needles. Also, the TV camera is moved in the X and Y directions with the wafer chuck to allow that one and the same reference mark is observed by this TV camera and by another TV camera provided for image-taking the bonding pads. With the proposed structure, the bonding pads and the probe needles can be aligned automatically and accurately.

    摘要: A wafer transport method includes the steps of preparing a semiconductor process equipment having a transport chamber and a process chamber. An interface means connects the transport chamber to the process chamber. A transport means transports a semiconductor wafer from the transport chamber to the process chamber by way of the interface means. The transport means mounting a substrate is inserted into a communicating corridor including a supply means and an exhaust means. The substrate is transported while performing the supply and exhaust by sequentially controlling a supply shutoff means, an exhaust shutoff means, and a communicating shutoff means according to the position of a conductance part formed of a gap between the transport means and the communicating corridor. Thus, the substrate is transported at a high throughput without contamination of the substrate while keeping the different atmospheric conditions for the transport chamber and the process chamber, thereby manufacturing a semiconductor device with high performance capabilities.
