The application is that the application number of submitting on June 19th, 2008 is divided an application for " for the eyespot training method of wire bond and relevant semiconductor processing operation " for " 200780001638.5 ", denomination of invention.
Cross reference to related application
The application is the China national phase application of the application number submitted on March 13rd, the 2007 PCT application that is PCT/US2007/063850, here this international application is incorporated herein by reference.
Technical field
The present invention relates to the wire bond system, more particularly, relate to improved eyespot (eyepoint) training method for the wire bond system.
Background technology
U.S. Patent No. 5,119,436 and No.6,869,869 relate to wire bond system and associated vision systems, here by reference to being incorporated to its full content.
In the processing and encapsulation process of semiconductor device, usually use the training and operation that utilizes vision system.For example, for example, carry out the wire bond operation on a collection of semiconductor device (, resembling this device of the semiconductor chip be arranged on lead frame) before, usually need the eyespot (or a plurality of eyespot) of " training " sample device.By " training " described sample device, some physical data that will be relevant to this sample device stores (for example,, in the memory of wirebond machine).In processing the process of device in batch using these physical datas as benchmark, for example, the correct location of each device or aim in the semiconductor device in batch of processed to guarantee (for example,, by wire bond).
Therefore, in the wire bond operating environment, wirebond machine (is for example used vision system, pattern recognition system or PRS) find previous training pattern (for example, eyespot, reference point etc.), so that after semiconductor device being placed on to welding position place and before the welding filament (for example, at semiconductor device and support between the lead frame of this semiconductor device weld filament before) alignment of semiconductor devices.Traditional approach is to carry out taught eyepoint based on sample device on wirebond machine, and wherein operating personnel utilize the training window to aim at the target area on sample device.Use some routine techniques (for example algorithm) to scan the target eyespot in conjunction with vision system.
A kind of conventional training technique utilizes normalized gray scale related system (NGCS) to carry out scanned samples device (for example, the selected part of sample device).By this technology, in each position, based on the detected content of vision system, distribute gray value.For example, during the welded disc of scanning semiconductor device, gray value is distributed to and is scanned position.After desired sector scanning completes, storage library of grayscale values (being associated with corresponding scanning position).When such actual semiconductor device is carried out to wire bond, vision system detects each gray value that is scanned position, and these gray values and those gray values be stored in training process in storehouse are compared.
Another kind of conventional training technique relates to scanned samples device (for example, the selected part of sample device), and detects each edge (that is, the pattern match based on edge) of definition in being scanned zone.By this technology, the detected content based on each position vision system, logarithm value is defined.For example, when scanning the welded disc of semiconductor device, marginal value is distributed to and is scanned position.After desired sector scanning completes, storage marginal value storehouse (being associated with corresponding scanning position).When such actual semiconductor device is carried out to wire bond, vision system detects each marginal value that is scanned position, and those values that are stored in these numerical value and training process in storehouse are compared.
Use any one in these conventional methods, divide the function that mark is wherein compared with the practical devices of wanting wire bond by the training sample device for each device of wanting wire bond provides weighting.If this mark surpasses certain threshold value, this device is acceptable so, and for example, by processed (wire bond); If but this mark is not just proceeded automatic operation usually lower than described threshold value.For example, can tell operating personnel by this low mark.In addition, can attempt follow-up location or eyespot and obtain the acceptable mark.Further, can also attempt alternate algorithm or recover sequence.
Unfortunately, all there are a lot of problems in each technology in these routine techniquess.The actual conditions of semiconductor device are that the different components from same batch (or different batches) can have different perceptual property, even they are identical devices and have identical electric function characteristic.For example, device may be different from surface color or the texture of device.This variation may be derived from the slight change of the different suppliers of same device manufacturing process used.These variations usually cause device to show totally different (for example nonlinear change of reflectivity) aspect contrast and reflectivity.Therefore, for example, due to these variations (, due to the difference between the reflectivity of wanting the wire bond parts and training sample device), the weighting branch that utilizes the traditional mode matching technique to obtain is lower.Therefore, ignore the searching result of mistake although usually utilize mark, but normal mode matching technique (such as NGCS system, pattern matching system based on edge etc.) all can cause mark lower than threshold value, even for further processing, this device is acceptable.Another problem of for example, being brought by this variation between semiconductor device (, the surface difference between device) is that the average time between manpower intervention, (being MTBA) was very short, caused the productivity ratio of automatic wire welding equipment lower.
Therefore, need to improve the eyespot training method of processing for semiconductor device, and use this eyespot to process the method for semiconductor device.

Embodiment
According to exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a kind of method is provided, for generating the pattern based on geometric properties, this pattern is for locating and/or alignment of semiconductor devices at wire welding equipment.The method defines a kind of technology, for the invariant features that utilizes pattern on semiconductor chip surface, generates eyespot.This method can improve the robustness of for example, finding described pattern on certain semiconductor device that changes (variation of surface reflectivity) having.In addition, can for example, with synthesising pattern (using available data as this as cad data), build the eyespot generated, also can from actual parts of images, extract generated eyespot.Be different from traditional PRS system (for example grayscale pattern coupling, geometrical pattern coupling), method proposed by the invention can be caught the invariant features in image effectively.Compare with routine techniques, for tackling the variation of automatic wire bond production environment device, use model (for example being stored in the memory of wirebond machine) that this invariant features (and the correlation between these invariant features) sets up robust more.
The eyespot that uses different illustrative methods disclosed herein to generate, can, as dominant eye point or the standby eyespot in PRS, for example, be used the pad information (or other geological information or shape information) obtained in the eyespot training process.Can select the eyespot (and zone of semiconductor chip) generated according to following manner: (1) for example,, by selecting a zone (zone that comprises pad vertical row and pad horizontal line) on the semiconductor device having good pad geological information, is selected automatically by PRS; And/or (2) are selected by operating personnel's intervention at least in part when selecting this zone with desired pad information.
Automatically generate in the example of eyespot at PRS, can for example, obtain by off-line programing instrument etc. the relative position of shape (for example, the bond pad shapes of any type, as rectangle, octagon, circle etc.) and shape from described device data (cad data).Also can after observing sample device, use vision system, automatically extract these shapes (and relative position of these shapes).If can obtain the numeral of described device chip sufficiently complete, (i.e. predetermined device data) described, just can select for covering the suitable shape/feature of described eyespot with a kind of algorithm, then with described algorithm, the shape/feature of selection is bound together (relative position that for example, uses described shape/feature).Use the method, can provide " without the vision training " to process (being the off-line programing method), less needs of this processing or do not need the wirebond machine self study.Certainly, may need to confirm training eyespot out with the sample device on this off-line procedure and wirebond machine.This without the vision training system in, can reduce the demand to the wirebond machine optical system.This is that multiplication factor can change sometimes, is trained because wirebond machine usually adopts complicated vision system; Yet, if use the data that are pre-existing in, to be trained without the vision mode, just can reduce the complexity (and cost) of this vision system.For example, in the conventional wirebond machine of using two multiplication factors (two optical systems, as " magnification at high multiple system " and " low power amplification system "), can from wirebond machine, save the magnification at high multiple system.This is because the magnification at high multiple system is generally used for obtaining the image detail regional by training, for example less (for example, size is equivalent to sub-pixel) gap between adjacent pad.According to some exemplary embodiment of the present invention, use " without vision " training method can not need these details cost reason of magnification at high multiple system (for example due to).
Utilizing during operating personnel intervene the example that generates eyespot, can and calibrate PRS and assist operating personnel by kinematic system accurately.For example, the parameter that kinematic system and PRS system can be based on being provided by operating personnel, carry out training managing (for example pad training managing).For example, when (1) can't obtain the suitable description of semiconductor device, and/or (2) can adopt this method when eyespot comprises while there is no the geometric properties of better definition.This training managing may need, and for example, moves to successively the shape/feature that each needs, and obtains the data that need from the image of the shape/feature of needs.Once complete the training to whole shape/feature, just can utilize the combination of trained shape/feature, and their area/location in the infrastructural frame of having set up respectively, set up eyespot.
No matter how eyespot generates, after training managing, in the PRS internal system, can obtain shape information, for example pad size, pad locations, shape, polarity and other attribute.In addition, for example, except described single shape information (single bond pad shapes information), from described kinematic system and/or use the calculating that described PRS system carries out, can also obtain the geometrical relationship of (for example, between these pads) between these shapes.
As described above, for example, in the training zone (eyespot), the synthetic shapes/pads created can replace the information (the namely image based on the dish model) of relevant true shape/dish.More particularly, for example, by using the data that relate to semiconductor device that can obtain (available data, as cad data), provide the shapes/pads of this synthetic establishment.The shapes/pads of this synthetic establishment can provide the better expression of average shape/dish, because it comprises whole common characteristics (and may there is no some defect of sample device, otherwise just can utilize these defects to carry out taught eyepoint) of a plurality of shapes/pads.In addition, can use suitable covering technique, to remove some zone of the selected scope of semiconductor device, for different devices, these zones are different.In addition, can also use a kind of technology, with respect to other zone of device, this technology gives the specific region (for example peripheral weld disk area of chip) of semiconductor device more to weigh, so that eyespot robust more.
The shape be included in the eyespot generated according to the present invention comprises, for example, bond pad shapes, the pad group that forms pattern, traditional eyespot shape (such as cross, circle, square etc.), there are the circuit of definition shape and/or the arbitrary surfaces feature on different chip etc.In addition, can also be by two or more these (or other) exemplary shape combined, in the eyespot generated to be included in.
Can comprise a lot of different schemes for the algorithm of setting up eyespot, for example: (1) can pre-determine the shape/feature of minimum number in algorithm, and when the shape/feature of this predetermined quantity is completed to training, algorithm can be transferred to another part of process, for example calculates the shape/feature of being trained with respect to infrastructural frame and/or mutual position; (2) be defined in the given shape/feature needed in training process, thereby if this feature location failure can cause defining the eyespot failure; (3) adopt weighting system, importance or the predictability separately based on it like this, for given shape/feature provides power, this weighting system is for defining the score value of processed semiconductor device; (4) for example, if select whole shape/feature that will be included in the needs in eyespot can, in the single visual field of vision system (image camera), can operate to locate eyespot with single searching; (5) if the feature needed can not be all in visual field, can locate each feature (for example each pad of eyespot), afterwards, by combining each data of location feature, can access whole training pattern (relative position that for example comprises each feature); And/or (6) apply multiple (may be redundancy) training algorithm in the training stage, to improve reliability.Within the scope of the invention, can adopt these schemes (etc.) combination in any.
Fig. 1 is the top view (the diagram part is to see from top to bottom, the lower left of semiconductor chip) of semiconductor device 100 parts.Semiconductor device 100 comprises a plurality of pads that are arranged in around device.For example these pads comprise pad 100a, 100b, 100c, 100d, 100e, 100f, 100g, 100h, 100i, 100j, 100k, 100l and 100m.Semiconductor device 100 also comprises circuit region 102 and circuit region 104.As is known to the person skilled in the art, the circuit region on semiconductor device (such as semiconductor chip) can comprise wiring diagram, wire etc.
For process semiconductor device 100(on wirebond machine, be for example the pad of welding device 100 and the wire loop between the second welding position, wherein the second welding position can be the lead-in wire on the lead frame of installing device 100), before needing to use, be the eyespot of wirebond machine training, on wirebond machine, alignment of semiconductor devices 100.Certainly, this aligning need to be applied various other semiconductor processing techniques, comprises such as short column salient point, sheet to sheet wire bond, the end of a thread/wire loop inspection etc.
As mentioned above, in actual semiconductor device, different components can present different qualities, even they are identical devices.For example Fig. 2 is the top view of another semiconductor device 200 parts.Although be to be provided by the manufacturer different from device shown in Fig. 1 100, from the angle of wirebond machine, semiconductor device 200 remains the device identical with semiconductor device shown in Fig. 1 100.Similar to the pad of semiconductor device 100, semiconductor device 200 comprises a plurality of pads, for example pad 200a, 200b, 200c, 200d, 200e, 200f, 200g, 200h, 200i, 200j, 200k, 200l and 200m.In addition, similar with 104 to the circuit region 102 of semiconductor device 100, semiconductor device 200 comprises circuit region 202 and 204.From the angle of vision system, the circuit region 102 and 104 of semiconductor device 100 looks like single component or the zone with total physics presentation; Yet, because the surface of two devices (namely device 100 and device 200) is different, same vision system can be seen the circuit region of semiconductor device 200 202 and 204 to comprise many independent sectors as.For example as shown in Figure 2, circuit region 202 is regarded as and comprised part 202a, 202b and 202c etc.Equally, circuit region 204 comprises part 204a, 204b and 204c etc.
Therefore, when semiconductor device 100 and semiconductor device 200 are carried out to same operation, due to one of a plurality of potential reasons (such as surface color, superficial makings etc.), vision system can be regarded them as diverse.Now, suppose to use the part semiconductor device 100 that comprises circuit region 102 or 104, the eyespot of wire bond operation is trained.For example, when use is processed (wire bond) semiconductor device 200 by the eyespot of semiconductor device 100 training, (for example the mark of semiconductor device 200, lower than threshold value, allows to accept this device and is further processed can to cause a lot of problems; The MTBA of semiconductor device 200 this devices is undesirably low etc.).
According to some exemplary embodiment of the present invention, can not change between device with eyespot and select eyespot into purpose, and not consider the difference such as surface color/texture.For example can select one group of shape as eyespot from a zone of semiconductor device.When using the i type semiconductor device for the wirebond machine taught eyepoint, define the position of each shape with respect to another.
For example Fig. 3 illustrates according to the eyespot of exemplary embodiment of the present invention and selects.Fig. 3 illustrates semiconductor device 30, comprises a plurality of pads, for example pad 300a, 300b, 300c, 300d, 300e, 300f, 300g, 300h, 300i, 300j, 300k, 300l and 300m.In addition, similar with the circuit region 102/104 and 202/204 of semiconductor device 100/200 respectively, semiconductor device 300 comprises circuit region 302 and 304.Because the circuit region 302 and 304 of different components may change (as confirmed by comparator device 100 and 200), therefore, in selected eyespot 310, ignore these zones.Eyespot 310 comprises pad group 306(mono-row pad, comprises pad 300h, 300i, 300j, 300k, 300l and 300m) and pad group 308(a line pad, comprise pad 300a, 300b, 300c, 300d, 300e, 300f, 300g).Some feature of eyespot 310 (contour shape of each pad for example, pad and the interval between another etc.) can between device, not change, therefore, can provide the training managing of robust more (with practical devices to the wanting wire bond follow up scan of robust more).
It should be noted that, although above take the zone in dotted line in eyespot 310(Fig. 3) eyespot is described as example, but should be appreciated that eyespot 310 can only comprise some shape/feature in zone, for example bond pad shapes and some pad relevant position in zone 310.The shown of the present invention a plurality of exemplary embodiments with description of this paper are exactly such.
In addition, although exemplary eyepoint 310 comprises the bond pad shapes shape of circuit region 302 and 304 (and do not comprise) of the pad of group in 306 and 308, can comprise one of circuit region 302 and 304 or both contour shapes in eyespot.In this eyespot, potential inside difference between the circuit region that may exist between device and device (for example in Fig. 1, circuit region 102 is compared in Fig. 2 different between circuit region 202), can not affect training managing (and follow-up searching is processed), because only comprise the contour shape of described circuit region in this eyespot.
In some applications, solder pad of semiconductor device can comprise " probe mark ", and they are visible for the vision system of wirebond machine.This probe mark is not unified.For example, due to typical semiconductor wafer testing mode, the part probe mark may for example, extend along a direction (horizontal direction), and other probe mark may for example, extend along other direction (vertical direction).These variations of probe mark on pad, also can cause conventional eyespot training system to go wrong (such as finding problem that mark is lower, MBTA problem etc.).
According to some exemplary embodiment of the present invention, ignore/get rid of the interior zone of pad from eyespot, can fully eliminate like this problem for example, to some variation (probe mark) relevant.For example these zones can (1) be scanned, but do not consider in the processing procedure of scoring, (2) scanning, but give lower power in the processing procedure of scoring, and/or (3) are not scanned.Therefore, very clear, for example, when (shadow region, some zone of mentioning device, as pad inside or other shadow region) time, " do not comprise ", the saying (or similar saying) of " ignoring ", " eliminating " and/or " covering ", needn't mean that from scan process (scan process in training process for example, processing will by the scan process in the practical devices process of wire bond) get rid of described zone.
Therefore, Fig. 4 show some is selected (such as predetermined, dynamically determine in real time etc.) zone compares eyespot 310 from eyespot 310a(, with eyespot, 310a compares, eyespot 310 has some difference, and for example eyespot 310 is not ignored the interior section of pad from eyespot) in the semiconductor device 300 that neglects.These selected areas in Fig. 4, be shade/oblique line (namely from the eyespot training managing by shadow region " covering ", for example wherein (1) by algorithm configuration for not scanning these zones, and/or (2) be configured algorithm, so that edge/feature that " coverings " intra-zone exists does not affect gross score calculating).As shown in Figure 4, the inside of each pad is marked as shade, so that described inside is not included in taught eyepoint.More particularly, the inside 300a1 that ignores pad 300a from eyespot 310a.Inside 300b1 for pad 300b, the inside 300c1 of pad 300c, the inside 300d1 of pad 300d, the inside 300e1 of pad 300e, the inside 300f1 of pad 300f, the inside 300g1 of pad 300g, the inside 300h1 of pad 300h, the inside 300i1 of pad 300i, the inside 300j1 of pad 300j, the inside 300k1 of pad 300k, the inside 300l1 of pad 300l and the inside 300m1 of pad 300m, be also like this.
