본 발명은 반도체 웨이퍼척 및 이를 이용한 웨이퍼를 웨이퍼척에 고정시키는 방법에 관한 것으로, 보다 상세하게는 상기 웨이퍼척 표면에 설치되는 진공홀이 형성된 진공틀을 다수개로 구성하여 웨이퍼가 안착될 영역 전체에 걸쳐 분포하도록 형성하여, 웨이퍼를 진공으로 고정시키는 힘을 웨이퍼 전체에 대해 균일하게 가하여 웨이퍼 고정시 웨이퍼가 휘어지지 않도록하고 파손된 웨이퍼에 대해서도 웨이퍼척에 용이하게 고정시킬 수 있도록 하는 웨이퍼척 및 이를 이용한 웨이퍼를 웨이퍼척에 고정시키는 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a semiconductor wafer chuck and a method of fixing the wafer using the same to a wafer chuck, and more particularly, a plurality of vacuum frames in which vacuum holes are provided on the surface of the wafer chuck are formed in the entire region where the wafer is to be seated. It is formed so as to spread over, the wafer chuck is applied evenly to the entire wafer to secure the wafer in a vacuum so that the wafer does not bend when the wafer is fixed, and to easily fix to the wafer chuck also to the broken wafer A method of fixing a wafer to a wafer chuck.

일반적으로 반도체 웨이퍼라 함은 집적회로를 만들기 위한 반도체 물질의 단결정을 성장시킨 기둥 모양의 봉을 얇게 잘라서 원판 모양으로 만든 것을 의미하며, 반도체 소자 제조용 장비에는 잠입되는 웨이퍼를 지지하는 역할을 하는 웨이퍼 척이 구비된다. 이와같이 웨이퍼척을 구비하는 장비로는 노광공정을 수행하는 스캐너나 스텝퍼와 같은 노광장비나 패턴이 형성된 웨이퍼를 단위 칩으로 조립하기 전에 웨이퍼를 구성하는 각 칩의 전기적 특성을 검사하는 검사공정을 수행하는 검사장치등이 있다.In general, a semiconductor wafer means a columnar rod made by thinly cutting a columnar rod in which a single crystal of a semiconductor material for making an integrated circuit is cut into a disc shape, and a wafer chuck supporting a wafer to be submerged in a device for manufacturing a semiconductor device. Is provided. As such, a device having a wafer chuck may perform an inspection process of inspecting electrical characteristics of each chip constituting the wafer before assembling an exposure apparatus such as a scanner or a stepper that performs an exposure process or a wafer having a pattern formed into a unit chip. There is an inspection device.

도 1은 일반적인 검사장치의 구성을 개략적으로 나타낸 도면이다.1 is a view schematically showing the configuration of a general inspection apparatus.

도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 검사장치는 기본적으로 웨이퍼척(1), 프로브 니들(20) 및 프로브카드(30)로 구성된다. 웨이퍼(100)가 위치하는 웨이퍼척(1)은 상, 하, 좌, 우로 이동이 가능하다. 프로브카드(30)에 구비되어 있는 프로브니들(20)은 웨이퍼척(1)상에 위치한 웨이퍼(100)를 구성하는 각 칩의 패드부위에 접촉되어, 칩 내부의 회로에 전기신호가 전달하여 칩의 전기적인 불량여부를 검사한다.As shown in FIG. 1, the inspection apparatus basically includes a wafer chuck 1, a probe needle 20, and a probe card 30. The wafer chuck 1 in which the wafer 100 is located is movable up, down, left, and right. The probe needle 20 included in the probe card 30 is in contact with a pad portion of each chip constituting the wafer 100 located on the wafer chuck 1, and an electrical signal is transmitted to a circuit inside the chip so that the chip Check for electrical defects.

도 2 및 도 3은 종래의 웨이퍼척을 개략적으로 도시한 단면도 및 평면도이다.2 and 3 are a cross-sectional view and a plan view schematically showing a conventional wafer chuck.

도 2및 도 3의(a)를 참조하면, 웨이퍼(100)는 웨이퍼척(1) 표면에 형성된 진공틀(2)에 안착되고 상기 진공틀에 형성된 진공홀(3)에 인가되는 진공에 의해 웨이퍼척(1)에 흡착되어 고정된다. 상기 진공홀(3)은 외부의 진공펌프와 연결되어 펌프작용에 의한 진공을 웨이퍼에 제공하게 된다. 상기 진공틀(2)은 그 일부에 한 개 또는 그 이상 형성된 진공홀(3)에 의해 진공흡착을 좋게하기 위하여 원통형 또는 다각형 도랑 형태로 형성되어 있다. 또한 진공틀(3)은 흡착 효율을 높이기 위하여 동심원 또는 동심다각형으로 구성될 수 있다.2 and 3 (a), the wafer 100 is seated in the vacuum frame 2 formed on the surface of the wafer chuck 1 and is applied by the vacuum applied to the vacuum hole 3 formed in the vacuum frame. The wafer chuck 1 is sucked and fixed. The vacuum hole 3 is connected to the external vacuum pump to provide a vacuum by the pump action to the wafer. The vacuum frame (2) is formed in the shape of a cylindrical or polygonal groove in order to improve vacuum absorption by the vacuum hole (3) formed in one or more parts thereof. In addition, the vacuum frame 3 may be of concentric circles or concentric polygons in order to increase the adsorption efficiency.

그러나 도 3(a)에 도시된 바와 같이, 종래의 웨이퍼척(1)에 있어서는 표면에 형성된 진공홀(3)이 한쪽방향으로 일렬로 배치되어있어 웨이퍼(100)를 진공으로 고정시킬 때 안착된 웨이퍼(100)에 고정시키는 힘을 전체에 대해 균일하게 가하지 못하게되어 힘의 불균형이 생기고 이에따라 미세하게 웨이퍼(100)가 휘어지게 되는 것을 방지하기 어려운 문제점이 있었다.However, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), in the conventional wafer chuck 1, the vacuum holes 3 formed on the surface are arranged in one direction in a row so that the wafer 100 is seated when the wafer 100 is fixed by vacuum. There is a problem that it is difficult to prevent the force imbalance is uniformly applied to the whole to the wafer 100 to cause the force imbalance and thus the wafer 100 is not bent finely.

또한 웨이퍼를 수동으로 검사하기위해 파손된 웨이퍼(100)를 웨이퍼척(1)에 고정시키는 경우에 도 3(b)에 도시된 바와 같이 파손된 부분에만 진공홀(3)이 존재한다면 진공홀(3)에서 발생하는 진공이 진공틀(2)을 완전하게 덮지못하여 진공상태를 유지하기 어려우며, 따라서 파손된 웨이퍼(100)를 웨이퍼척(1)에 고정하는 것이 불가능해지는 문제점이 있었다.In addition, when the broken wafer 100 is fixed to the wafer chuck 1 in order to inspect the wafer manually, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), if the vacuum hole 3 exists only in the broken part, the vacuum hole ( Since the vacuum generated in 3) does not completely cover the vacuum frame 2, it is difficult to maintain the vacuum state, and thus there is a problem in that it is impossible to fix the broken wafer 100 to the wafer chuck 1.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하고자 발명된 것으로, 진공홀이 형성되어 있는 진공틀이 표면에 설치된 반도체 웨이퍼척에 있어서 상기 진공틀 및 진공홀이 다수개로 이루어져 웨이퍼가 안착될 영역 전체에 걸쳐 균일하게 분포하므로, 안착된 웨이퍼에 균일하게 진공을 제공하여 웨이퍼가 휘어지게되는 것을 방지할 수 있고 웨이퍼가 파손된 경우에도 용이하게 고정시킬 수 있는 웨이퍼척 및 이를 이용한 웨이퍼를 웨이퍼척에 고정시키는 방법을 제공하고자 함에 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been invented to solve the above problems, and in the semiconductor wafer chuck having a vacuum frame in which a vacuum hole is formed, the vacuum frame and the vacuum hole are formed in plural to uniformly cover the entire area where the wafer is to be seated.
