If processing module is by the received initial value V of instituteXAfter above-mentioned standard formula is calculated, obtained inspection Survey numerical value S be between -1.2~-0.8, then processing module will determine corresponding detection module to the predetermined position of wafer cassette B it Testing result is " predetermined position does not have auxiliary part ".If processing module is by the received initial value V of instituteXBy above-mentioned After standardization formula is calculated, obtained detection numerical value S is between 0.8~1.2, then processing module will determine corresponding inspection Surveying module is " predetermined position has auxiliary part " to the testing result in the predetermined position of wafer cassette B.
If processing module is by the received initial value V of instituteXAfter above-mentioned standard formula is calculated, obtained inspection Survey numerical value S be between -0.8~0.8, then processing module will determine corresponding detection module to the predetermined position of wafer cassette B it Testing result is " lack of resolution ", i.e., detection failure may occur for corresponding detection module.
If processing module is by the received initial value V of instituteXAfter above-mentioned standard formula is calculated, obtained inspection Survey numerical value S is less than -1.2 or greater than 1.2, then processing module will determine corresponding detection module to the pre-determined bit of wafer cassette B The testing result set is " the first numerical value (V1), second value (V2) define it is incorrect ", i.e., the in corresponding standardization formula One numerical value (V1), second value (V2) mistake may be defined, and cause detection module that the problem of detection fails occurs.In such shape Under state, related technical personnel will can receive the detection signal 301 of multiple detection modules 30 according to processing module 50 again, to first Numerical value (V1) and second value (V2) reset.
In practical applications, processing module 50, which can also be, is electrically connected a data obtaining module 60 and a storage element 70.Data obtaining module 60 is to obtain a predetermined information stored in the information storage unit B4 for be set to wafer cassette B B41.The information storage unit B4 for example can be the various electronic tag that can store data, chip or be printed with bar code Label etc., it is without restriction in this;Relatively, data obtaining module 60 then corresponds to any electronic tag, chip can be read Or it is printed with the device of the label of bar code, and data obtaining module 60 is stored to read in information storage unit B4 Predetermined information B41 generates an acquisition information 601 with corresponding, and the acquisition information 601 is other than including predetermined information B41, also It can include other relevant informations, such as read access time, the relevant information of data obtaining module etc. according to demand.
Predetermined information B41 stored by information storage unit B4, such as can be the various data of wafer cassette B, especially Whether each predetermined position P1, P2, P3 of wafer cassette B should be provided with the data of auxiliary part B1, B2, B3 and each pre- The data such as type of auxiliary part B1, B2, B3 set by P1, P2, P3 are set in positioning.
Storage element 70 can be the data storage element independently of processing module 50 or be integrated in processing module 50, It can be in storage element 70 and store more prestored informations 701, each prestored information 701 is, for example, various types of auxiliary Help component, institute's corresponding first predetermined value section, the second predetermined value section, 7011 (V of the first numerical value1) and second value 7012(V2) etc..
