In one embodiment, a method for correcting needle insertion of a probe station is provided, and the method can be applied to electronic equipment, wherein the electronic equipment can be a terminal connected with the probe station, such as a computer, a palm computer, a microprocessor and the like, and can be used as an upper computer of the probe station. Taking an application to an electronic device as an example, referring to fig. 1, the method includes the following steps S110 to S180.
S110: the operation motor drives the wafer to perform axial equal-step motion at intervals by fixing the number of crystal grains, and a first image of a needle mark obtained by needle insertion of the wafer on the probe station is obtained.
Preparing a clean and complete wafer, and placing the wafer on a chuck of a probe station; the motor of the probe station comprises an X-axis motor and a Y-axis motor, and the motor can drive the chuck for loading the wafer to move so as to drive the wafer to move. The electronic equipment performs axial equal-step movement by controlling the motor with the fixed grain number as an interval, so as to drive the wafer to perform axial equal-step movement; in the moving process, the wafer is needled by using the needle card of the probe station, and an image of the needle mark is shot by the image acquisition device.
Wherein the axial equal-step movement comprises equal-step movement along the X-axis direction and equal-step movement along the Y-axis direction; the first image may include a first image of a needle mark obtained by needle insertion of the wafer on the probe station when the motor drives the wafer to move along the X-axis direction at equal pitches, and/or a first image of a needle mark obtained by needle insertion of the wafer on the probe station when the motor drives the wafer to move along the Y-axis direction at equal pitches.
S120: based on the first image, it is determined whether the needle mark is linearly shifted.
Linear offset refers to an offset that occurs in the direction of the axis of motion of the wafer, including an X-axis linear offset and/or a Y-axis linear offset; the X-axis linear displacement refers to displacement of the needle mark in the X-axis direction when the direction of the movement axis of the wafer is movement in the X-axis direction, and the Y-axis linear displacement refers to displacement of the needle mark in the Y-axis direction when the direction of the movement axis of the wafer is movement in the Y-axis direction.
S130: if the linear offset occurs, the linear offset of the needle mark is determined based on the first image, and a linear correction value is determined based on the linear offset.
If the X-axis linear offset occurs, the linear offset of the needle mark is determined based on a first image obtained by the motor and the wafer in the equal step motion along the X-axis direction, and a linear correction value for correcting the X-axis linear offset is determined according to the linear offset. If Y-axis linear offset occurs, determining the linear offset of the needle mark based on a first image obtained by the motor and the wafer in the Y-axis direction at equal steps, and determining a linear correction value for correcting the Y-axis linear offset according to the linear offset.
S140: and carrying out linear correction on the probe station according to the linear correction value.
Specifically, the motor position of the probe station can be adjusted according to the linear correction value to perform linear correction, thereby reducing linear offset. For example, in the case where the X-axis linear offset occurs, the X-axis motor position is adjusted to perform correction based on the linear correction value for correcting the X-axis linear offset; in the case where the Y-axis linear displacement occurs, the Y-axis motor position is adjusted to perform correction based on the linear correction value for correcting the Y-axis linear displacement.
S150: and operating the motor to drive the wafer to perform axial equal-step motion at intervals by fixing the number of grains, and obtaining a second image of the needle mark obtained by needle insertion of the wafer on the probe station after the linear correction.
After the linear correction, the motor is controlled again to drive the wafer to move axially at equal steps, the needle card of the probe station is operated to puncture the wafer, and the image of the needle mark is shot through the image acquisition device, so that a second image is obtained. The second image may include a second image of a needle mark obtained by needle insertion of the wafer on the linear correction post-probe stage when the motor drives the wafer to move along the equal pitch in the X-axis direction, and/or a second image of a needle mark obtained by needle insertion of the wafer on the linear correction post-probe stage when the motor drives the wafer to move along the equal pitch in the Y-axis direction.
S160: based on the second image, whether the needle mark is angularly offset is judged.
Angular offset refers to an offset that occurs in a direction that is offset from the axis of motion of the wafer, including an X-axis angular offset and/or a Y-axis angular offset; the X-axis angular deviation refers to the deviation of the needle mark in the Y-axis direction when the direction of the movement axis of the wafer moves along the X-axis direction, and the Y-axis angular deviation refers to the deviation of the needle mark in the X-axis direction when the direction of the movement axis of the wafer moves along the Y-axis direction. Specifically, based on a second image obtained by the motor and the wafer in the equal-step motion along the X-axis direction, whether the needle mark is subjected to the X-axis angular offset is judged, and based on a second image obtained by the motor and the wafer in the equal-step motion along the Y-axis direction, whether the needle mark is subjected to the Y-axis angular offset is judged.
S170: if the angle deviation occurs, the angle deviation amount of the needle mark is determined based on the second image, and an angle correction value is determined according to the angle deviation amount.
If the X-axis angle offset occurs, determining the angle offset of the needle mark based on a second image obtained by the motor and the wafer in the equal-step motion along the X-axis direction, and determining an angle correction value for correcting the X-axis angle offset according to the angle offset. If Y-axis angle deviation occurs, determining the angle deviation amount of the needle mark based on a second image obtained by the motor and the wafer in the equal-step motion along the Y-axis direction, and determining an angle correction value for correcting the Y-axis angle deviation according to the angle deviation amount.
S180: and performing angle correction on the probe station according to the angle correction value.
Specifically, the motor position of the probe station can be adjusted according to the angle correction value to perform angle correction, thereby reducing the angle offset.
According to the probe station puncture correction method, the first image of the needle mark obtained by the wafer puncture on the probe station is analyzed, when the needle mark is linearly deflected, the linear deflection of the needle mark is determined based on the first image, the linear correction value is determined according to the linear deflection, and the probe station is linearly corrected according to the linear correction value, so that the deflection of the actual puncture in the linear direction is reduced; after the linear correction, analyzing a second image of the needle mark obtained by the wafer needle insertion on the probe station, so that whether the needle mark is angularly offset or not can be accurately analyzed; when the needle mark is angularly offset, the angle offset of the needle mark is determined based on the second image, the angle correction value is determined according to the angle offset, and the angle correction is carried out on the probe station according to the angle correction value, so that the angle offset of the actual needle insertion is reduced, the needle mark offset generated in the actual needle insertion process can be reduced, the needle insertion error is reduced, and the needle insertion precision is improved.
In one embodiment, step S110 further includes: the XY axes of the probe stage are orthogonally compensated.
Specifically, the step of orthogonally compensating the XY axis of the probe station may include: selecting at least 2 points along the Y-axis direction/X-axis direction from the wafer on the probe station, and fitting the calibrated points into a straight line; selecting two coordinate points on the generated straight line, and calculating the angles of the straight line and the X-axis direction/Y-axis direction according to the coordinates of the coordinate points; and calculating a difference between the angle and 90 degrees, and correcting the XY axis angle of the probe station according to the difference.
For example, a clean and perfect wafer is selected and leveling of the wafer is completed, x coordinate points along the Y direction are selected in the wafer, and a straight line is fitted according to the x points. Two coordinates (X1, y 1) and (X2, y 2) are selected on the generated straight line, and then the angle between the straight line and the X axis direction is beta: β=arctan ((y 2-y 1)/(x 2-x 1)). And calculating the difference between the angle beta and 90 degrees, and carrying out certain angle compensation correction according to the difference, thereby completing the cross quadrature compensation of the XY axis. By performing the XY axis angle correction by the quadrature compensation before step S110, the problem of insufficient XY axis orthogonality due to long-term use of the probe stage is avoided, and the problem of needle insertion error due to the XY axis angle error is solved.
In one embodiment, step S110 may include step (a 1) and step (a 2).
Step (a 1): the operation motor is used for fixing the grain number at intervals to drive the wafer to move along the X-axis direction at equal steps, and a first image of a needle mark obtained by needle insertion of the wafer moving along the X-axis direction on the probe station is obtained.
Step (a 2): the operation motor is used for fixing the grain number at intervals to drive the wafer to move along the Y-axis direction at equal steps, and a first image of a needle mark obtained by needle insertion of the wafer moving along the Y-axis direction on the probe station is obtained.
In one embodiment, step S120 includes step (b 1) and step (b 2).
Step (b 1): when the motor drives the wafer to move along the X-axis direction, if the needle mark in the first image deviates in the X-axis direction, the needle mark deviates in the X-axis direction.
Step (b 2): when the motor drives the wafer to move along the Y-axis direction, if the needle mark in the first image deviates in the Y-axis direction, the needle mark deviates linearly along the Y-axis.
Specifically, when the motor drives the wafer to move along the X-axis direction, whether the needle mark is offset in the X-axis direction is judged based on a first image obtained by the motor and the wafer moving along the X-axis direction, and if so, the needle mark is offset in the X-axis direction. When the motor drives the wafer to move along the Y-axis direction, whether the needle mark is offset in the Y-axis direction or not is judged based on a first image obtained by the motor and the wafer moving along the Y-axis direction, and if yes, the needle mark is offset in the Y-axis direction. Therefore, whether the X-axis linear offset and the Y-axis linear offset occur or not is analyzed in the movement process of the X-axis and the Y-axis in different directions, and the linear offset condition can be accurately analyzed.
The execution sequence of the step (a 1), the step (a 2), the step (b 1) and the step (b 2) can be set according to actual needs. For example, after step (a 1) and step (b 1) are executed, step S130 and step S140 are executed first, then step (a 1) is executed again, if the linear offset of the X axis still exists in the needle mark, the existing linear correction value is finely adjusted to perform linear correction and then step (a 1), or step S130 and step S140 are executed and then step (a 1) is executed again; if the needle mark does not have the X-axis linear offset in the X-axis direction, executing the step (a 2), the step (b 2), the step S130 and the step S140, and then returning to execute the step (a 2), if the needle mark still has the Y-axis linear offset, fine-adjusting the existing linear correction value to perform linear correction and then returning to the step (a 2), or executing the step S130 and the step S140 and then returning to the step (a 2); if the needle mark does not have the Y-axis linear offset in the Y-axis direction, step S150 is executed. Therefore, the needle mark is circulated for many times to ensure that the needle mark does not have linear offset in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, so that the linear offset in the actual needle inserting process can be eliminated, and the needle inserting precision is improved. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, steps (a 1), (a 2), step (b 1) and step (b 2) may be performed in other orders, for example, after steps (a 1) and (a 2) are performed, steps (b 1) and (b 2) are performed, respectively.
In one embodiment, in step S130, a linear offset of the needle mark is determined based on the first image, and a linear correction value is determined according to the linear offset, including steps (c 1) to (c 5).
Step (c 1): the radius of the wafer is obtained.
Step (c 2): and selecting a linear offset needle point of the needle mark in the first image, and determining the linear offset of the linear offset needle point in the axial direction relative to the standard of the Pad where the linear offset needle point is positioned.
The reference of the Pad where the linear offset needle point is the edge of the Pad near the center of the wafer chuck. For example, as shown in fig. 2 (a), the motor drives the wafer to puncture the needle to generate an image of the needle mark with an X-axis linear offset in the process of moving along the X-axis direction, as shown in fig. 2 (b), the motor drives the wafer to puncture the needle to generate an image of the needle mark with a Y-axis linear offset in the process of moving along the Y-axis direction, the mark points represent selected linear offset needle points, a is a linear offset, and the value of a is equal to the distance between the linear offset needle points and the standard of the Pad where the linear offset needle points are located in the X-axis direction.
Step (c 3): the sign of the linear offset is determined.
Step (c 4): and determining the distance value from the reference of the Pad where the linear offset needle point is positioned to the center of the wafer chuck.
As shown in fig. 2 (a) and 2 (b), b is a distance value from the reference of the Pad where the linear offset pin is located to the Center of the wafer chuck.
Step (c 5): and calculating a linear correction value according to the linear offset, the distance value and the radius.
In one embodiment, step (c 3) comprises: if the movement direction of the wafer and the offset direction of the needle mark are in the same direction, namely positive directions or negative directions, the linear offset is a negative value; if the direction of displacement of the needle mark is opposite to the direction of movement of the wafer, i.e. the direction of movement of the wafer is positive and the direction of displacement of the needle mark is negative, or the direction of movement of the wafer is negative and the direction of displacement of the needle mark is positive, the linear displacement is positive.
The positive and negative of the movement direction of the wafer can be preset; if the movement direction of the wafer and the displacement direction of the needle mark are in the same direction, the needle mark displacement is excessively large, the needle mark distance is required to be reduced to correct the displacement, and the linear displacement is defined as a negative value at the moment; if the movement direction of the wafer is opposite to the displacement direction of the needle mark, the needle mark displacement is too small, and the needle mark spacing is increased to correct the displacement, and the linear displacement is defined as a positive value. Thus, by analyzing the movement direction of the wafer and the displacement direction of the needle mark, the positive and negative signs of the linear displacement amount can be accurately determined, so that the positive and negative signs of the calculated linear correction value can be determined, and whether the linear compensation required by the linear correction is increased or decreased can be reflected.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, positive and negative directions of the wafer movement are set, the positive direction is right and the negative direction is left in the X-axis direction, the negative direction is upward and the positive direction is downward in the Y-axis direction. When the motor drives the wafer to move along the positive direction of the X-axis direction, if the offset direction of the needle mark is the positive direction of the X-axis, as shown in fig. 4 (a), the linear offset a is less than 0; if the offset direction of the needle mark is the negative X-axis direction, as shown in fig. 4 (b), the linear offset a >0. When the motor drives the wafer to move along the positive direction of the Y-axis direction, if the offset direction of the needle mark is the Y-axis positive direction, as shown in fig. 5 (a), the linear offset a is less than 0; if the offset direction of the needle mark is the negative Y-axis direction, as shown in fig. 5 (b), the linear offset a >0.
In one embodiment, step (c 5) comprises:
value=a×r/1000×b; (equation 1)
Where a is a linear offset, b is a distance Value, r is a radius, and Value is a linear correction Value. The linear correction value can be accurately calculated by adopting the formula 1, and the probe station can be accurately corrected and the linear offset can be compensated based on the linear correction value, so that the needle insertion error is eliminated, and the needle insertion precision is improved.
In one embodiment, step S150 includes step (d 1) and step (d 2).
Step (d 1): and operating the motor to drive the wafer to move along the X-axis direction at equal steps at intervals by fixing the number of grains, and obtaining a second image of the needle mark obtained by needle insertion of the wafer on the probe station after the linear correction.
Step (d 2): and operating the motor to drive the wafer to move along the Y-axis direction at equal steps at intervals by fixing the number of grains, and obtaining a second image of the needle mark obtained by needle insertion of the wafer on the probe station after the linear correction.
In one embodiment, step S160 includes step (e 1) and step (e 2).
Step (e 1): when the motor drives the wafer to move along the X-axis direction, if the needle mark in the second image deviates in the Y-axis direction, the needle mark deviates in the X-axis angle.
Step (e 2): when the motor drives the wafer to move along the Y-axis direction, if the needle mark in the second image deviates in the X-axis direction, the needle mark deviates in the Y-axis angle.
Specifically, based on a second image obtained by the motor and the wafer moving along the X-axis direction, judging whether the needle mark is offset in the Y-axis direction, if so, the needle mark is offset in the X-axis angle; and judging whether the needle mark is offset in the X-axis direction or not based on a second image obtained by the motor and the wafer moving along the Y-axis direction, and if so, generating Y-axis angle offset on the needle mark. Therefore, whether the X-axis angular deviation and the Y-axis angular deviation occur or not is analyzed in the movement process of the X-axis and the Y-axis in different directions, and the condition of the angular deviation can be accurately analyzed.
The execution sequence of the step (d 1), the step (d 2), the step (e 1) and the step (e 2) can be set according to actual needs. For example, after step (d 1) and step (e 1) are executed, step S170 and step S180 are executed first, then step (d 1) is executed again, if the needle mark still has the X-axis angle offset, the existing angle correction value is finely adjusted to perform angle correction and then step (d 1) is executed again, or step S170 and step S180 are executed again and then step (d 1) is executed again; if the needle mark has no X-axis angle offset, executing the steps (d 2), e2, S170 and S180, and then returning to execute the step (d 2), if the needle mark still has Y-axis angle offset, finely adjusting the existing angle correction value to perform angle correction and returning to the step (d 2), or executing the steps S170 and S180 and returning to the step (d 2) until the needle mark has no Y-axis angle offset. Therefore, the needle mark is circulated for a plurality of times to ensure that the X-axis angle offset and the Y-axis angle offset do not exist, the angle offset in the actual needle inserting process can be eliminated, and the needle inserting precision is improved. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, steps (d 1), (d 2), step (e 1) and step (e 2) may be performed in other orders, for example, after steps (d 1) and (d 2) are performed, steps (e 1) and (e 2) are performed, respectively.
In one embodiment, in step S170, an angular offset of the needle mark is determined based on the second image, and an angle correction value is determined according to the angular offset, including steps (f 1) to (f 4).
Step (f 1): a fiducial pin point and an angularly offset pin point of the pin trace are selected in the second image.
Step (f 2): a first axial distance value of the reference pin point and the angle offset pin point in the direction of wafer movement and a second axial distance value of the reference pin point and the angle offset pin point in the direction of pin mark offset are determined.
Wherein, the wafer movement direction is perpendicular to the needle mark offset direction; for example, if the motor drives the wafer to move along the X-axis, when the angular displacement of the X-axis occurs, the displacement direction of the needle mark is the Y-axis direction; if the motor drives the wafer to move along the Y axis, when the Y axis angle deviation occurs, the needle mark deviation direction is the X axis direction. And measuring the distance between the reference needle point and the angle offset needle point in the movement direction of the wafer to obtain a first axial distance value, and measuring the distance between the reference needle point and the angle offset needle point in the needle mark offset direction to obtain a second axial distance value.
Step (f 3): the sign of the second axial distance value is determined.
Step (f 4): an angle correction value is calculated based on the first axial distance value and the second axial distance value.
For example, the motor drives the wafer to puncture to generate an X-axis angular offset needle mark image when moving along the X-axis as shown in fig. 6 (a), the motor drives the wafer to puncture to generate a Y-axis angular offset needle mark image when moving along the Y-axis as shown in fig. 6 (b), d is a first axial distance value, and c is a second axial distance value; the angle correction value can be calculated from c and d.
In one embodiment, step (f 3) comprises: when the needle mark is subjected to X-axis angular deviation, if the movement direction of the wafer and the deviation direction of the needle mark are both positive directions or both negative directions, the angular deviation is a positive value; if the movement direction of the wafer is positive and the displacement direction of the needle mark is negative, or if the movement direction of the wafer is negative and the displacement direction of the needle mark is positive, the angle displacement is negative. When the needle mark is subjected to Y-axis angular deviation, if the movement direction of the wafer and the deviation direction of the needle mark are both positive directions or both negative directions, the angular deviation is a negative value; if the movement direction of the wafer is positive and the displacement direction of the needle mark is negative, or if the movement direction of the wafer is negative and the displacement direction of the needle mark is positive, the angle displacement is positive.
The positive and negative signs of the second axial distance value can be accurately determined by analyzing the movement direction of the wafer and the offset direction of the needle mark, so that the positive and negative signs of the calculated angle correction value can be obtained, and whether the angle compensation required by the angle correction is increased or decreased is reflected.
For example, the positive and negative settings of the wafer movement direction are shown in fig. 3. When the motor drives the wafer to move along the positive direction of the X-axis direction, if the offset direction of the needle mark is the negative direction of the Y-axis, as shown in fig. 7 (a), the second axial distance value c <0 is a negative value; if the direction of displacement of the needle mark is the Y-axis positive direction, as shown in fig. 7 (b), the second axial distance value c >0 is a positive value. When the motor drives the wafer to move along the positive direction of the Y-axis direction, if the offset direction of the needle mark is the positive direction of the X-axis, as shown in fig. 8 (a), the second axial distance value c <0 is a negative value; if the offset direction of the needle mark is the negative X-axis direction, as shown in fig. 8 (b), the second axial distance c >0 is a positive value.
In one embodiment, step (f 4) comprises:
s=arctan (c/d); (equation 2)
Where c is a second axial distance value, d is a first axial distance value, and S is an angle correction value. The angle correction value can be accurately calculated by adopting the formula 2, and the probe station can be accurately corrected and the angle offset can be compensated based on the angle correction value, so that the needle insertion error is eliminated, and the needle insertion precision is improved.
