[Prior Art] With the advancement of the technology industry, such as LED wafers, the thickness has been gradually reduced from the original 200 μπι to 15 μmηη, which causes the wafer to be produced by the tension factors such as thermal stress during the manufacturing process. 5μηι uneven warping. In the current test process t, the wafer to be tested is placed on the bearing surface of the carrying device, and the carrying device is ventilated to a vacuum pump, so that a negative pressure is generated at the air hole on the bearing surface, and the adsorption is performed. The wafer is measured and electrically contacted with individual dies in the wafer by means of an over-spot device, whereby the dies are sensed and their luminescence is sensed. However, the above warping phenomenon will make the spotting device unable to properly contact the height of each die, and the poor contact will make the detection impossible. In order to solve the above problems in order to flatten the wafer, the industry currently employs artificially. The pressing method forces the wafer to adhere to the bearing surface; or increases the vacuum pump suction force connected to the carrier device to force the wafer to be strongly drawn to the flat bearing surface. However, whether by manual pressure or strong suction, the stress may be concentrated due to uneven application of force, excessive application of pressure, and a slight structure of the wafer itself to be tested, and the wafer to be tested may be fragmented. Even when the vacuum pump is turned off and the wafer is returned to the sacred shape, the wafer will be fragmented due to the rapid recovery of the curved shape. In this way, not only the yield will decrease, but also the cost will increase simultaneously. 5 201013803 / The monthly fragment will also delay the follow-up work, resulting in a significant reduction in output efficiency. Therefore, if the pressure can be automatically applied, the wafer can be flatly adsorbed and fixed on the bearing surface of the carrier without being easily broken, which not only improves the reliability of the detection system, but also significantly improves the output efficiency and reduces the manufacturing cost. 'The best solution.

By moving the unit Auxiliary, the flexible unit is deformed in the process of pressing down. First, the central part of the wafer is gradually pressed against the central part of the wafer to be tested, and the central portion of the wafer which has been partially flattened on the carrying surface is flattened and the side of the wafer is driven. Part gradually approaching the bearing surface, reducing the amount of curvature in the middle (four); then gradually pressing down, so that the overall distortion of the wafer to be tested can be flat on the bearing surface, and the adsorption of the air holes on the bearing surface 8 201013803 ' flatten the wafer It is easy to be correctly spotted, which not only can effectively achieve automatic inspection operations, but also can reduce wafer damage, improve detection efficiency and output yield simultaneously, and make operation automation possible. [Embodiment] The foregoing and other technologies related to the present invention The content, features, and effects will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the drawings. The present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the fixing/release assisting device j utilizes a central portion 351. The hollow sphere 35, which is obviously thicker than the peripheral portion 353, serves as a flexible unit for pressing, and the sphere 35 stops at a distance from the carrying device 43 before the moving unit 37 is unactuated. Ready position, so in step 61 in FIG. 6, when the wafer 430 placed on the supporting means 3 test bearing surface 43, the sphere 35 is moved upward to the wafer 3 measured under the pressure gradually. The warpage of the wafer 3 to be tested is not radial symmetry, but generally because the central portion 351 is the lowest, it is close to the flat state when placed on the bearing surface 43 ;; and at this time, the bearing surface 43 is vented. 1 A negative pressure has been applied by the vented connection exhaust pump 41. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the central portion of the sphere 35 will preferentially reach the center of the wafer 3, and when the sphere 35 is slowly slid with the moving unit, the force will gradually move from the central portion of the wafer 3. The external pressure is pressed to the intermediate portion of the center of the circle 3 which is said to be left. The intermediate portion is forced to be flattened to the bearing surface 430 and the intermediate portion is dusted, so that the warpage of the peripheral portion of the wafer 3 is gradually suppressed, and is accompanied by the bearing surface 43. Move down. Step 63 is as shown! As shown in FIG. 5, the driving mobile unit π continues to move down the 201013803, forcing the central portion 351 of the ball 35 to be reduced to approximately equal to the peripheral portion 353, so that the entire ball 35 will apply pressure to the wafer 3 in a uniform manner. 'The wafer 3 is changed from warpage to completely flat to the bearing surface 430' and is attracted by the negative pressure of the air hole 1〇1 on the bearing surface 430, and is fully attached and fixed on the bearing surface 430, so that it can be smoothly detected in the subsequent process, Overcoming the uneven curvature phenomenon caused by the thinning of the thickness of the wafer 3 described above. Of course, during this pressing process, the moving speed of the moving unit can also be slower than before the ball 35 is not in contact with the wafer 3. For ease of explanation, after defining the moving unit to be depressed, the central portion 351 of the sphere 35 is deformed to a position substantially equal to the thickness of the peripheral portion 353 of the sphere to be a pressing position. In addition, in order to avoid the overvoltage (EOS, Electrical Overstress) caused by the electrostatic discharge (ESD, Electrostatic Discharge) of the operator or the mechanical device, the test wafer is destroyed, and the primary antibody may be placed on the wafer 3 to be tested. The electrostatic member 33 prevents ESD damage and achieves the best protection. Thereafter, in step 64, the mobile unit and the flexible unit are moved together from the wafer to be tested, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, 'wafer detection is performed by the test device 45 disposed on the susceptor 1'. In this example, The test device 45 includes two sets of pressure guiding assemblies 453 and a set of optical sensing members 451. Each set of pressure guiding components 453 respectively has a metal probe for mechanically pressing one by one to a specific die in the wafer to be tested, and the power supply gas contacts the enabled die, and is controlled by the optical sensing component 451. The light emitted by the measured crystal is received and judged. Of course, as can be easily understood by those skilled in the art, according to the current technology, a common ground of some of the crystal grains is located on the back side of the wafer, and the measured surface 201013803 has only a single electrode, and the crystal to be measured for such a structure For the round shape, the bearing surface with the metal bearing material can be selected, and the bearing surface is used as the grounding material, so that only one set of the metal probe and the pressure guiding component above is required. Go to step 65, when the detection is completed, move the mobile unit (as shown by circle 1) and the sphere 35 to the pressing position of the wafer 3 to be tested as shown in FIG. 4, so that the wafer 3 is completed. I was forced by the ball to force 3 5 to apply. Finally, in step 66, on the one hand, the exhaust pump 41 is stopped to continue to provide a negative pressure to the air holes 101' so that the elastic restoring force of the wafer is completely offset by the flexible unit. On the other hand, the moving unit and the ball 35 are gradually moved up and gradually moved to the preparatory position of the carrying device 43 so that the wafer 3 to be tested is restricted to gradually return from the periphery to the center to return to the original soft state, thereby avoiding the crystal. The risk of damage to the circle 3 in the rapid release step due to rapid rebound. Of course, if it is confirmed that the structural strength of the wafer is sufficient to withstand rapid rebound without fragmentation, the steps of this portion can be omitted without hindering the implementation of the present case. Of course, as can be easily understood by those skilled in the art, the flexible unit is not limited to the hollow sphere. As shown in the second embodiment of the present invention, a solid flexure such as sponge 35 may be used to make the periphery thereof. The portion 353 has a thickness less than the central portion 351, and when the wafer is finally flattened, the thickness of the central portion 351' can be substantially equal to the peripheral portion 353, which can meet the requirements of the present invention. Carry out inspection work. The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the invention and the description of the invention are All should remain within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
