Hereinafter with reference to relevant drawings, the wafer sort parameters analysis method of the preferred embodiment according to the present invention is described, wherein identical assembly will be illustrated with identical reference marks.
Please refer to Fig. 3 to Fig. 5, show the flow chart of the present invention's first preferred embodiment among the figure.This embodiment utilizes the result of wafer sort project A to analyze, and estimates to find out the problem board.
As shown in Figure 3, at first, in step 301, the wafer sort parameters analysis method of preferred embodiment according to the present invention, search for the rate of finished products of several batches of products earlier, then in step 302, rate of finished products is set at A group (the first rate of finished products group) product more than or equal to several batches of products of a default value (as 70%), for example comprise lot number 1,2,3,4, and 5 (shown in steps 303); And the several batches of products that rate of finished products is lower than default value (as 70%) are set at B group (the second rate of finished products group) product, for example comprise lot number 6,7,8,9, and 10 (shown in steps 304), wherein the rate of finished products value of the product that comprised of the first rate of finished products group is higher than the second rate of finished products group.
Wherein, each batch (lot) product has a lot number (lot number), and every batch of product includes 25 wafer, and the every batch of product all passes through a plurality of boards of multiple tracks technological process.With regard to a wafer sort project, project A for example carries out the multiple tracks Electronic Testing to each tube core (die) of every wafer, and obtains the Electronic Testing parameter value of each tube core.For every kind of Electronic Testing project, all be provided with a control criterion (control spec).When the Electronic Testing parameter value of a tube core conforms with control criterion, then think by this Electronic Testing project; And do not conform with control criterion when a tube core, then think and can't pass through this Electronic Testing project, and in this stage, the wafer sort project A of this tube core is with regard to defective (fail) at last.Hereat, after all tube cores Electronic Testing process that all process wafer sort project A is comprised of a wafer, the technical staff promptly can obtain the wafer sort parameter distribution figure of this wafer, as shown in Figure 2.In addition, the technical staff can divided by total tube core number, and obtain a numerical value with the qualified tube core number of the wafer sort project A of this wafer, and this numerical value is called the wafer sort parameter value of this wafer.The wafer sort parameter value of a collection of product (onelot) then is the mean value of the wafer sort parameter value of its total wafer number that comprises.
As for the rate of finished products of a collection of product, then be by all test events, comprise the typical value of the product quality that Quality Detection project on wafer sort project, the line, sample test project or the like test back is obtained.
See also the step 305 of Fig. 3, can carry out statistical analysis with regard to the wafer sort data of A set product earlier, find out wafer sort parameter value K representative in the A set product A(first standard value).Then, referring to step 306, in the B set product, with K ACarry out the contrast first time as standard, the wafer sort parameter value is parity with or superiority over K in the deletion B set product AThe product of value, that is in this second rate of finished products group, filtering out by wafer sort project A (is that its wafer sort parameter value is better than K A) batch number.Afterwards, step 307 judges whether lot number (first quantity) remaining in the B set product is zero, if zero, then stop analysis operation.If lot number is non-vanishing, then go to Fig. 4, it should be noted that herein when lot number is non-vanishing, represent these several remaining products in the B set product, the reason that its rate of finished products is low may be relevant with its wafer sort project A defective (fail).
Referring to step 401 among Fig. 4, to demonstrate the aforementioned product that remaining rate of finished products is low in the B set product and wafer sort project A defective when relevant as the result of Fig. 3, will carry out first search in an experience cumulative data storehouse, obtains relevant information available.According to experience in the past, when experienced engineer follows the trail of problem, can judge according to its experience: " when wafer sort project A is defective; may be relevant? " with which kind of reason, its answer may be: " should follow the trail of sample test project (sample test) some projects or should trace lines on the Quality Detection project some projects or can directly judge not relevant with which technological process station." hereat, this experience cumulative data storehouse is imported described system by experienced engineer with its experience, judges the direction of following the trail of the path automatically in order to a kind of computer to be provided.Certainly, this experience cumulative data storehouse also can be upgraded by computer self, thereby the experience that is obtained in the contingency question tracing process is stored so far in the experience cumulative data storehouse voluntarily.
In the step 402, when this experience cumulative data storehouse shows wafer test event A is relevant with a sample test event, then carry out step 403, this sample test project data with search A set product, similarly, carry out the statistical analysis operation, to obtain its representative sample test parameter value (second standard value can be a mean value) v AThen, step 404 is with v AValue is standard, carries out the contrast second time, and the sample test result of the product that B set product process step 306 back is remaining is parity with or superiority over v AThe batch number deletion of value.Then, step 405 judges whether remaining batch number (second quantity) is zero, if zero, then stop analysis operation; If non-vanishingly then carry out step 406, its in experience cumulative data storehouse, carry out second search when the sample test project is defective the project that should follow the trail of.Should follow the trail of a technological process station not (step 408) if experience cumulative data storehouse shows, then go to the flow process of Fig. 5.Should follow the trail of Quality Detection project (step 407) on the line if experience cumulative data storehouse shows, then go to step 410.
Referring to shown in the step 409, after this step was searched for experience cumulative data storehouse through step 401, shows wafer test event A was relevant with Quality Detection project on the line.In step 410, quality test data on the line of search A set product, and carry out statistical analysis, obtain quality test parameter value on its representative line (the 3rd standard value can be a mean value) μ AThen, in step 411, with μ AValue is for standard, with the B set product through quality test data on the line of the remaining product in step 306 back be parity with or superiority over the batch number deletion.In step 412, judge whether remaining batch number (the 3rd quantity) is zero again.If zero, then stop analysis operation; If non-vanishing, then carry out step 413, so that in experience cumulative data storehouse, carry out the 3rd search when the quality test result does not meet the specification on the line, should follow the trail of which technological process station not (step 414), go to the flow process of Fig. 5 then.
Referring to step 415, after this step was searched for experience cumulative data storehouse through step 401, when shows wafer test event A was defective, the project that should follow the trail of was that a technological process station is other, and go to the flow process of Fig. 5 to carry out subsequent step this moment.
