Background
With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the quality requirements on the surface of a wafer are higher and higher, and the friction and abrasion between the semiconductor wafer and an objective table directly affect the surface quality and the processing precision of the wafer in the deep processing process, so that the appearance defects such as scratches, stains, cracks and the like left on the wafer by equipment in the processing process and the phenomenon of bending and edge curling of the wafer caused by thermal stress and mechanical stress can be timely found through the detection of the friction force between the wafer and the objective table, and the optimization and the replacement of grinding materials and devices are further guided, so that the stability of the processing quality of the wafer is ensured. Meanwhile, the friction data can also provide a basis for adjusting the processing parameters of the wafer, so that the material design and the processing process optimization are facilitated, and the processing efficiency and the wafer surface quality are improved. In the wafer surface processing process, according to the loading of working conditions, the wafer is required to be laterally applied with thrust force to guide the wafer to move towards the planning direction, so that the static and dynamic friction force of the wafer is tested, and the friction coefficient is calculated through computer software. However, the thickness of the wafer after deep processing is about 500-750 μm, and the mass is small, so that the friction and abrasion detection difficulty of the wafer material is multiplied. At present, due to the change of international trade policies, some countries issue export control policies aiming at the field of semiconductor equipment, and the detection and analysis of semiconductor materials in China are greatly influenced. In order to improve the safety of a semiconductor industrial chain, the localization rate of semiconductor measuring equipment is urgent, and meanwhile, at present, detecting equipment for the friction performance of wafer materials is lacking in domestic markets, so that the development of equipment for detecting the friction force of the wafer materials is necessary.
