Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application is provided by way of specific examples, and other advantages and effects of the present application will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the disclosure herein. The present application is capable of other and different embodiments and its several details are capable of modifications and/or changes in various respects, all without departing from the spirit of the present application.
Please refer to fig. 1 to 7. It should be noted that the drawings provided in the present embodiment are only for illustrating the basic idea of the present application, and the drawings only show the components related to the present application rather than the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation, and the type, quantity and ratio of the components in actual implementation may be changed arbitrarily, and the layout of the components may be more complicated.
As described in the background, in a semiconductor processing process, a series of processes are performed on a wafer, and the wafer is generally transferred through a cassette during the transfer from one process chamber to another process chamber, for example, when entering an etching process node, the wafer is transferred out of the etching process chamber through the cassette, and before entering an etching reaction chamber, the wafer needs to pass through a plurality of transmission nodes: the wafer angle positioner, the air lock chamber, the vacuum transfer chamber and the like enter the etching reaction cavity finally, because the wafer in the wafer box is transferred from the last process node, initial position deviation is easy to generate in the wafer box or the position deviation of the wafer grabbed by a mechanical arm is easy to generate, and the position deviation is generally larger than the transmission deviation inside the process node (such as the air lock chamber, the vacuum transfer chamber and the like), so that the adverse effect is more serious, when the condition is generated, the machine can give an alarm, the wafer transfer is stopped, manual processing is required to be waited, and the working efficiency is reduced.
Based on the problems, the device for correcting the wafer offset in the wafer conveying process can automatically recognize the offset of the wafer and automatically correct the offset position of the wafer, so that the problems of the wafer offset in the initial position of a wafer box, the wafer dragging and grabbing offset of a mechanical arm and the like which need manual processing are solved, the production efficiency is effectively improved, and the scratching and collision risks caused by the position offset during wafer conveying are reduced; meanwhile, the offset of the wafer is automatically corrected, and the offset precision is improved.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 6, the apparatus includes:
a wafer angle positioner 20 for translating the wafer 10 disposed therein in an orientation, wherein orientation refers to either clockwise or counterclockwise, and monitoring the angle of the wafer 10;
the optical sensing element 21 includes a signal light emitting end 211 and a signal light receiving end 212, which are disposed at one side of the wafer angle positioner 20, and a distance L1 between a light signal 213 emitted from the signal light emitting end 211 and a center of the wafer angle positioner 20, i.e., a deviation point a of a wafer, is a predetermined error value of the wafer radius value r ± where the predetermined error value is a measurement error value of an apparatus itself;
a data collecting module (not shown in the drawings) connected to the light sensing element 21, for collecting a first time t1 when the wafer 10 starts to touch the optical signal 213 emitted by the light sensing element 21 and a second time t2 when the wafer 10 finally touches the optical signal 213 emitted by the light sensing element 21 in each rotation cycle when the wafer 10 rotates in the wafer angular positioner 20;
a data processing module (not shown in the figure), connected to the data acquisition module, configured to obtain the first time t1 and the second time t2 acquired by the data acquisition module, and calculate an offset midpoint position C and an offset L2 of the wafer 10 according to a minimum value (i.e., min | t1-t2 |) of an absolute value of a difference between the first time t1 and the second time t2 and a rotation speed of the wafer angle positioner 20;
and a robot arm (not shown in the figure) connected to the data processing module, and configured to re-grab the wafer 10 based on the offset L2 and the offset midpoint C of the wafer 10, compensate the offset L2 along a connection line between the offset midpoint C and the offset point a of the wafer, and transmit the compensated offset L2 to the wafer angle positioner 20.
The working principle of the device for correcting the wafer offset in the wafer conveying process provided by the application is as follows: as shown in fig. 1 and 3, when the wafer and the robot arm are not shifted from each other, the robot arm rotates the wafer in the wafer angle positioner without blocking the signal light emitted from the light sensing element, and at this time, the center B of the wafer coincides with the center of the wafer angle positioner (as shown in fig. 3); when the relative position between the wafer and the robot arm deviates, the center of the wafer does not coincide with the rotation center of the wafer angle positioner, and the center of the wafer deviates from the rotation center of the wafer angle positioner by an amount greater than a preset error value, at this time, the robot arm rotates the wafer in the wafer angle positioner to shield the signal light emitted by the light sensing element, and each rotation cycle of the wafer has two time points, one of which is the time t1 when the wafer starts to shield the signal light emitted by the light sensing element (i.e., the time when the signal light receiving end starts to receive the signal light), and the other is the time t2 when the wafer finally shields the signal light emitted by the light sensing element (i.e., the time when the signal light receiving end starts to receive the signal light), at this time, the deviation point a of the wafer coincides with the center of the wafer angle positioner (as shown in fig. 4). As shown in fig. 5, since the optical sensing element is disposed at a position (L1 is a wafer radius value r ± a preset error value) from the wafer angle positioner L1, a quadrilateral formed by the points a, t1, B, and t2 is approximately a rhombus, a diagonal line L2 of the rhombus is an offset of the wafer, an intersection point C of two diagonal lines of the rhombus is an offset center point position, and a connecting line between the point C and the center a of the wafer angle positioner is an offset direction of the wafer, the offset L2 can be calculated by a property of the rhombus, and the calculation process is as follows:
wafer perimeter S1=2 π r
the arc length of rotation S2= min | t1-t2| ω r from time t1 to time t2
Figure BDA0003950208960000061
Figure BDA0003950208960000062
Figure BDA0003950208960000063
Wherein θ is a rotation angle of the wafer at the time from t1 to t2, φ is an included angle between a connecting line direction of the offset center point position C and the offset point A of the wafer and a radius direction of the wafer at the time of a point t1 or a point t2, ω is an angular velocity of the wafer angle positioner, r is a radius of the wafer, and min | t1-t2| is an absolute value of a time difference between t1 and t2 in each rotation period of the wafer. Therefore, the offset L2 can be obtained from the radius r of the wafer and the angular velocity ω, t1, and t2 of the wafer angle positioner, and the robot arm can correct the wafer offset by compensating the offset L2.
The optical sensing element 21 can select the existing common sensing elements, such as an LED optical sensing element, a laser sensing element, and the like, and the laser sensing element is preferably selected in the application, so that the collimation of laser is strong, the light spot is small, and the correction accuracy can be effectively improved. More preferably, the light sensing element is an infrared laser sensing element. Typically, the wafers are placed in a pod prior to being transferred to the wafer angle positioner 20, and the transfer process is performed by a robot arm that grasps and transfers the wafers placed in the pod to the wafer angle positioner 20.
The device for correcting the wafer offset in the wafer conveying process is suitable for correcting the wafer position offset of any size. In this embodiment, the radius value of the wafer is selected to be 150mm, and the predetermined error value is 0mm to 2mm, such as 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm. In practice, the predetermined error value may be determined according to the actual condition based on the wafer size and the requirement of the correction precision.
The device for correcting the wafer deviation in the wafer conveying process can be suitable for any transmission system with a wafer angle positioner, such as a wafer transmission system of a wafer etching process.
It should be noted that, all modules referred to in this application are logic modules, and in practical applications, a logic unit may be a physical unit, may also be a part of a physical unit, and may also be implemented by a combination of multiple physical units. In addition, in order to highlight the innovative part of the present application, a unit which is not so closely related to solve the technical problem proposed by the present application is not introduced in the present embodiment, but it does not indicate that no other unit exists in the present embodiment.
Based on the device for correcting the wafer offset in the wafer conveying process, the application also provides a method for correcting the wafer offset in the wafer conveying process. As shown in fig. 3 and 7, the correction method includes:
providing a device for correcting wafer deviation in the wafer conveying process;
judging whether the wafer rotates on the wafer angle positioner and blocks the optical signal emitted by the signal light emitting end of the optical sensing element;
if not, confirming the positioning point of the wafer based on the rotation of the wafer in the wafer angle positioner, and grabbing and transmitting the wafer to the next station by the mechanical arm;
if yes, the data acquisition module sequentially acquires a first time t1 when the wafer starts to touch the optical signal sent by the optical sensing element and a second time t2 when the wafer finally touches the optical signal sent by the optical sensing element in each rotation period;
the data processing module obtains the first time t1 and the second time t2 acquired by the data acquisition module, and calculates an offset midpoint position and an offset of the wafer (as shown in fig. 5) according to a minimum value of an absolute value of a difference between the first time t1 and the second time t2 (i.e., a time interval between the first time t1 and the second time t2 in each rotation period of the wafer) and a rotation speed (generally, an angular speed) of the wafer angle positioner; the calculation method of the offset midpoint position and the offset of the wafer can be referred to the above calculation method, and is not detailed here;
and the mechanical arm recaptures the wafer based on the offset, compensates the offset and then transmits the wafer to the wafer angle positioner, and the wafer is corrected by the offset.
Since the existing robot arm cannot flexibly grab the wafer in any direction, the wafer needs to be continuously rotated to the grabbing angle of the robot arm in the actual correction process, as shown in fig. 6, the robot arm grabs the wafer in the vertical direction, so that the wafer needs to be continuously rotated to the vertical direction of the connecting line between the offset central point position C and the offset point a of the wafer, and then the robot arm grabs the wafer again and compensates the offset L2 and then transfers the wafer to the wafer angle positioner. By way of example, when the correction method is used in a wafer transfer process of a wafer etching process, the whole transfer process generally includes the following nodes: the wafer box, the wafer angle positioner, the air lock chamber, the vacuum transfer chamber and the reaction chamber, and the correction method realizes the offset correction at the transfer contact of the wafer angle positioner.
For example, the rotation direction of the wafer in the wafer angle positioner may be set as required, and may be, for example, clockwise rotation or counterclockwise rotation.
In summary, the present application provides a device and a method for correcting wafer offset during wafer transfer, which can automatically identify wafer offset and automatically correct the offset position of the wafer, thereby eliminating the problems of wafer initial position offset in a wafer cassette, mechanical arm dragging and grabbing offset, etc. which require manual handling, effectively improving production efficiency, and reducing the risk of scratching and collision caused by wafer transfer due to position offset; meanwhile, the offset of the wafer is automatically corrected, and the offset precision is improved. Therefore, the application effectively overcomes various defects in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.
The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and utilities of the present application and are not intended to limit the application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above-described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Accordingly, it is intended that all equivalent modifications or changes which can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concepts disclosed in the present application shall be covered by the claims of the present application.
