The following describes the inspection action of automatic shape inspection apparatus 1.Fig. 4 checks the process flow diagram of the process of processing for expression automatic shape inspection apparatus 1, check the figure of the action of worktable 2 during displacement that Fig. 5 measures semiconductor wafer for expression, Fig. 6 is the figure of expression focusing, the action of inspection worktable 2 when making a video recording, the figure that Fig. 7 focuses and moves automatically for expression.
As shown in Figure 4, the inspection department reason wafer that carries out of automatic shape inspection apparatus 1 loads step S1, worktable calibration steps S2, sensor and enters that step S3, displacement measurement step S4, interpolation calculation treatment step S5, sensor are made a concession step S5A, object lens are selected step S6, focusing/shootings/inspection step S7 and wafer unloading step S8 formation.
In wafer loading step S1, check that worktable 2 is by keeping this semiconductor wafer K in its surface vacuum absorption or the fixing carrying that does not have to represent with the semiconductor wafer K that the mechanical arm reception comes from figure.
In checking worktable calibration steps S2, make inspection worktable 2 rotate the control of small angle around its rotary middle spindle J2 according to necessity.Thus, can revise the assembly error of the θ direction of checking worktable 2, can guarantee to check that worktable 2 is respectively with the good depth of parallelism of the precision of X, Y direction and move.
Enter among the step S3 at sensor, the command signal that sensor drive mechanism 13 sends by control computer 8 is shunk pneumatic linear actuator 131.Thus, be positioned at the 1st arm member 132 of position shown in the solid line of Fig. 3 around counterclockwise rotating.Link with the rotation of the 1st arm member 132, the 2nd arm member 133 is also around counterclockwise rotating.So the capacitance displacement sensor 12 that is configured in retreating position P2 is configured to range finding position P1 (with reference to the dot-and-dash line part of Fig. 3).The angle that the 1st arm member 132 and the 2nd arm member 133 rotate is preferably respectively at 10 °~30 °.This is to make cable 136 deteriorations in order to prevent swing or to twist.
In displacement measurement step S4, check that worktable driver element 3 checks worktable 2 by the command signal that control computer 8 sends along X, Y direction horizontal drive, make and check that worktable 2 and capacitance displacement sensor 12 relative positions concern the path along dotted arrow B1 shown in Figure 5.Checking under the state that worktable 2 moves continuously along the Y direction that the displacement LS1 of each extraction point T1 is measured as extraction point T1 in a plurality of places of capacitance displacement sensor 12 on predetermined moment extraction semiconductor wafer K.The displacement LS1 that measures is stored in the storage unit 81 in the control computer 8 with position detection unit 4 positions of detected inspection worktable 2 on X, Y, θ direction.When the processing of the row of one on the Y direction finishes, make and check that worktable 2 moves predetermined distance along directions X, next column is carried out same processing.By carrying out such processing (S4A) successively, obtain the displacement LS1 that semiconductor wafer K goes up a plurality of extraction point T1.
In interpolation calculation treatment step S5, operation processing unit 82 bases in the control computer 8 are handled the displacement LS2 that obtains the non-extraction point T2 that does not measure among the displacement measurement step S4 based on the interpolation calculation of the displacement LS1 of above-mentioned extraction point T1.The displacement LS2 that handles the non-extraction point T2 that tries to achieve by interpolation calculation also is stored in the storage unit 81.In addition, non-extraction point T2 is a plurality of points uniformly-spaced to exist respectively between each extraction point T1, and these points are shooting point.
Make a concession among the step S5A at sensor, the command signal that sensor drive mechanism 13 sends by control computer 8 makes pneumatic linear actuator 131 elongations.Thus, being positioned at locational the 1st arm member 132 shown in the dot-and-dash line of Fig. 3 rotates around clockwise direction.Link with the rotation of the 1st arm member 132, the 2nd arm member 133 also rotates around clockwise direction.So the capacitance displacement sensor 12 that is configured on the range finding position P1 is configured on the retreating position P2.
Select among the step S6 at object lens, the command signal that converter driver element 54 sends by control computer 8 is configured to the object lens 11 of appointment on the camera position P0.Can be according to any object lens among the size selection object lens 11A~11E of the defective of wanting to check.
In focusing/shooting/inspection step S7, inspection worktable driver element 3 is checked worktable 2 by the command signal that control computer 8 sends along X, Y direction horizontal drive, makes the path of the relative position relation of inspection worktable 2 and object lens 11 along dotted arrow B2 shown in Figure 6.Checking under the state that worktable 2 moves continuously along the Y direction that shooting optical module driver element 6 pictures drive shooting optical module 5 along Z-direction as shown in Figure 7, making the displacement LT between object lens 11 and the semiconductor wafer K be basis displacement LB always.That is, drive shooting optical module 5 along the Z direction, make displacement LT consistent with basis displacement LB according to storing the basis displacement LB in the storage unit 81 in advance into and handling the displacement LS2 that tries to achieve by interpolation calculation.(LS2+ α-LB) moves for example to carry out displacement shown in image pattern 7 (B) and Fig. 7 (C) like that.Wherein, α represents to be configured in the object lens 11 on the camera position P0 and is configured in distance on the vertical direction between the capacitance displacement sensor 12 of range finding on the P1 of position.Thus, can carry out only focusing to semi-conductor chip D.To defocused, when illumination light source 7 flashes, check with camera 51 and take semi-conductor chip D.Whether good the image input picture that photographs is handled with computing machine 9, carry out the judgement of its outward appearance by Flame Image Process.Whether good judgement (being yes among the S7A) to all non-extraction point T2 carry out being undertaken by such focusing, shooting and Flame Image Process finishes the visual examination that semiconductor wafer K goes up all semi-conductor chip D that form.
In wafer unloading step S8, discharge the semiconductor wafer K that checks out from vacuum suction or fixing, transfer to carrying with on the mechanical arm.After, receive new semiconductor wafer K, handle by order same as described above.
The structure that automatic shape inspection apparatus 1 adopts sensor drive mechanism 13 that capacitance displacement sensor 12 can be advanced and retreat between object lens 11 that converter 53 is selected and object workpiece K.Shooting optical module driver element 6 is according to the displacement LS and the basis displacement LB that is stored in the storage unit 81 to the object workpiece K that measure under the state that capacitance displacement sensor 12 enters, make the displacement LT between object lens 11 and the object workpiece K become basis displacement LB, by like this semi-conductor chip D being focused automatically.When focusing automatically capacitance displacement sensor 12 is kept out of the way.Because sensor drive mechanism 13 was arranged with converter in 53 minutes, can not reduce the object lens 11 that should have, therefore can not reduce the freedom of shooting multiplying power.And, because displacement transducer 12 is independent of converter 53, therefore in the future the signal of autobiography sensor driving mechanism 13 is fetched into outside cable 136 and can twist because of converter 53 rotations, can prolong the life-span of cable 136, the existence of cable 136 that is not subjected to capacitance displacement sensor 12 is to the restriction of converter 53 action.
Owing in displacement measurement step S4 and interpolation calculation treatment step S5, proceed to the measurement of the displacement of the extraction point T1 on the semiconductor wafer K, the displacement LS1 to extraction point T1 that utilization measures handles the displacement LS2 that predicts non-extraction point T2 by interpolation calculation, promptly arrive the displacement LS2 of the semi-conductor chip D of shooting when checking, therefore do not need displacement measurement is carried out in all checkpoints, can shorten beat (at interval) time.And owing to do not make during displacement measurement and during focusing yet and check that worktable 2 and shooting optical module 5 stop along relatively moving of XY direction, therefore also can shorten pitch time in view of this point.
And,, therefore can obtain displacement data at a high speed owing to use capacitance displacement sensor 12.For example can reach the sample rate about 10kHz.Therefore, even in the speed of checking worktable 2 during, also can obtain the extraction point T1 that enough carries out the quantity that interpolation calculation handles near the 500mm/sec left and right sides.And because capacitance displacement sensor 12 is little for the measuring error of temperature change, and the deterioration that passing is in time measured is little, so good reliability.
More than example of the present invention is illustrated, but above disclosed example example just after all, scope of the present invention is not subjected to the restriction of these examples.Scope of the present invention is with the scope record of claim, and comprises and the meaning of the scope equalization of claim and all changes in the scope.For example, the direction of 3 axles of orthogonal coordinate system not necessarily XY plane is a surface level, and the Z direction is that vertical is also passable.And the sequential scheduling of each step also can aim according to the present invention suitably change during the method that interpolation calculation is handled, the form of checking worktable 2 actions, inspection were handled.
