Abstract

A method for pattern recognition of a wafer bin map and a computer program product therefor are disclosed. Reference patterns are first defined, wherein each reference pattern is corresponding to a historical wafer bin map, and has a bin test value (BTV). A grouping step and a feature-abstracting step are performed for classifying the reference patterns having the same BTV into one group to obtain at least one pattern group; and counting the number of a certain BTV appearing in each historical wafer bin map to obtain a feature vector of each historical wafer bin map in each pattern group. With the reference patterns and the feature vectors in each pattern group, a data-mining step is performed to obtain a classifier for each pattern group. Thereafter, a proper classifier is selected, and a feature vector of a wafer bin map to be recognized is inputted thereto, thereby determining its pattern.

Description of the Invention [Technical Fields of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for identifying a wafer pattern (Wafer Bin Map) and a computer program product, in particular, an identification method using a material exploration method. Wafer pattern style methods and computer program products. [Prior Art] ί In the manufacturing process of Integrated Circuits (IC), the test steps of the product are carried out at different stages of the process, and at the same time, the precision analysis instrument is used to make quality control throughout the process. The inspections are carried out to ensure that the process yield and wafer quality are at an optimal level and to detect flaws in the manufacturing process. Then, find out the cause of the flaw in the product, so as to further ensure that the product quality meets the standards and achieve the goal of improving the process yield. Therefore, testing in the manufacturing process of integrated circuits is an important step in improving the yield of integrated circuit components and establishing effective data for engineering analysis. Differentiated by the timing of testing, the testing of integrated circuit products can be divided into two stages: chip probe and finished product testing. The 'apos' wafer pinning step is performed in the form of a wafer to prioritize the wafer prior to packaging to avoid unnecessary waste. The wafer needle testing step is to test the electrical function of the wafer, so that the integrated circuit can be transferred to the wafer with poor electrical function before entering and constructing, so as to avoid increasing the manufacturing cost of the product. After the wafer on the wafer is subjected to wafer pinning, it is given a Bin Value. The wafer state is represented by the classification value to form a Wafer Bin Map. Referring to FIG. 1 , a schematic diagram of a wafer diagram is shown in which the wafer pattern 1 is divided into a plurality of wafer regions 2 〇 (such as the small cells in FIG. 1 ). A wafer area 20 is marked with the results of the needle test, and the different section lines are not labeled with the classification values, and the classification values are respectively represented by one or more classification representative values. For example, the classification representative values are BIN1, BIN2, and BIN3, where BIN3 represents a good wafer available; BIN1 and BIN2 represent defective wafers of different abnormal states, respectively. Generally, the distribution of specific classification values (a combination of BIN values or BIN values) can be used to determine the absence of a specific pattern of wafer defects. The process of causing this result can be derived from a number of rounds with the same specific pattern plus a record of the process. As shown in the 1st _ _ diagram, the distribution status of the classification representative value BIN2 contains a specific pattern. For the analysis of the wafer map, a 曰 薇 depends on the engineer to judge the defect pattern of the wafer map by manual visual ^^. However, this

When the identification of the wafer pattern is provided, the wafer pattern to be recognized is first provided (hereinafter referred to as "second diagram" K step 15A), wherein the second wafer pattern is also composed of a plurality of wafers. The wafer areas are respectively labeled with a plurality of classification values after the test step, and each of the classification values is selected from at least one of the foregoing classification representative values. Next, a predetermined classification test value (for example, BIN1) is combined (step 160) from the classification value type appearing in the second wafer map to search for the distribution pattern of the preset classification test values of the second wafer map. Then, a feature extraction step 170 is performed to calculate the number of classification values in the wafer area of the second wafer map that are the same as the preset classification test value, that is, the preset classification test value appears in the wafer area of the second wafer map.

The wafer map known by the classifier is The reference pattern should be the same as the reference pattern known by the sub-classifiers i, 2, and 3. Otherwise, the wafer map of the wafer has an unrecognized pattern, and should be the father. % division performs manual identification. In addition, when the second wafer map is successfully identified, 'the second wafer map and its style data can be added to the pattern library' and become the new training basis.
