Abstract

This invention relates to a prober system capable of controlling the probing pressure, including a swinging arm, a sensing element, an elevation motor and a control unit, where the swinging arm is equipped with a probe. The elevation motor is equipped with a carrying disk for carrying a to-be-tested objet (such as a wafer) so that the to-be-tested object can be moved up and down under the probe through the lifting and lowering of the carrying disk. The sensing element (such as strain gauge, non-contact type image measurement instrument) is capable of detecting the deflection amount of the swinging arm, and generating a sensing value (such as resistance, current, capacitance or inductance) corresponding to the deflection amount; the control unit (such as computer and control circuit) is respectively connected with the sensing element and the elevation motor. The control unit drives the elevation motor to push the carrying disk up so as to make the to-be-tested object contact with the probe. The control unit has a preset threshold value, and when the control unit determines that the sensed value reaches the threshold value, the control unit will send a stop signal to the elevation motor so that the elevation motor stops pushing the carrying disk up to preventing the surface of the to-be-tested object from being over pressed by the probe, thus preventing the surface damage of the to-be-tested object caused by over pressing.

Description of the invention: [Technical field of invention] ί=ΓΓ The amount of deformation of a swing arm and a corresponding sensed value. When the sensed value reaches the threshold value, the spot measurement system is stopped. Avoiding the waiting for correction - point riding nail pressure surface turn to the capacity of the system according to the invention - the ability to control the point _ force point measurement system, mainly using the sensed value to reach the - threshold value, the point measurement system That is, the push is stopped [Prior Art] The so-called wafer in the 'semiconductor industry towel' refers to the dream wafer used for the cutting, and since it has a circular shape, it is generally referred to as a wafer. The crystal 2 material is a dream. The main production method of the wafer is to firstly extract the coarse crystals from the sand (including dioxo) of the ground surface by using a reduction process, and then use the purification treatment to produce a purified product. After the crystal is polished, polished and sliced, the wafer can be fabricated. Since the entire wafer is a single crystal, it is also called a single crystal. According to relevant statistics, the total wafer shipment area of the semiconductor industry is estimated to increase from 7 billion square feet in 2009 to 8.2 billion square feet in fine years, and the annual growth rate is estimated to be η·4%. This is evident from the trend. The Japanese yen includes a 1C β yen, a led wafer, and the like. In the present specification, the LED wafers are collectively referred to as wafers. In order to ensure the quality of the wafers, we will test the wafers after the wafers are produced. The main way is to pass the current through the LED dies on the wafer and measure the The characteristics of the LED die (such as wavelength, luminous intensity, color, etc.) to confirm the quality of the wafer. In the following, the structure and shortcomings of the conventional device will be described below. 201113969 Please refer to the 'dot measuring device' shown in Figure 1. The main body is composed of a seat body u, a swing arm i2 = a point stylus 13. In the first figure, the upper surface of the left end of the seat body 11 has a convex-first conductive contact lu, and further, the seat body A spring 112 is attached to the top of the left end of the u. That is, the upper end of the spring 112 is fixed to the base u. In addition, the right end of the swing arm 12 is pivotally connected to the base u, so that the arm 12 can swing up and down along its pivotal position, and the right end of the pendulum 2 has no seat u to form an electrical connection. In another aspect, the stylus 13 is disposed through a pin holder 14 and is disposed on the left end of the swing arm 12. A second conductive connection point 12〇 protrudes from a bottom side of the left end of the swing arm 12, The swinging 'the first' second conductive contacts (1), 12〇 of the swing arm 12 can be separated from each other or in contact with each other. Since the swing arm 12 _ side is pressed by the _ spring 112, the first and second conductive contacts lu, 12 〇 will remain in contact with each other when the stylus 13 is pressed against the wafer i 5 to be tested. The stylus i 3 is pushed by the reaction force, so that the swing arm 12 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 112 and moves upward. At this time, the first and second conductive contacts 1U, 12Q are separated from each other. Passing the current through the body 11, the swing arm 12, the pin holder 14 and the spot stylus 13 and transferring it to the LEj) die on the wafer 15, so that the LED die emits light due to the reception of current, Thereafter, an integrating sphere 16 above the wafer 15 receives the light on the wafer 15, and after measuring six times, the disc s* endures the quality of the wafer 15. In the above-mentioned conventional spot measuring device, the lower force of the spot stylus 13 on the wafer 15 must be precisely controlled to prevent the wafer 15 from being crushed by the stylus, due to the spot measuring device. The elastic force of the spring 112 is used to determine the amount of depression of the stylus 13 on the wafer 15 (the degree of tightness of the tamper spring 112 is controlled by the spring) to control the amount of depression of the stylus 13 at that point. However, this calibration work is done manually. Therefore, due to human error, the pressure under the 201113969 of the stylus 13 exceeds the load tolerance of the wafer 15, resulting in the surface of the wafer 15. Damage is 'very unsatisfactory. The purpose of the test is to discriminate the quality of the wafer 15, but in the process of detection, it causes more defective products, which not only greatly reduces the accuracy of the detection, but also greatly increases the production cost of the wafer, which is quite unfavorable to the manufacturer. . Therefore, 'how to improve the conventional spot measuring device, design a spot measuring system that can accurately control the amount of pressure' to avoid damage to the wafer during the detection process, and to improve the accuracy of the detection, which is the present invention An important topic of discussion. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the problems of the conventional spot measuring device, the inventor has long worked hard to study and experiment 'finally develop and design the Nina fiber point measuring system of the present invention, and the precise control system to the steel object The amount of downforce, avoiding the force of the material beyond its load tolerance range' and increasing the accuracy of the point detection. The object of the present invention is to provide a spotting system capable of paving pressure, comprising a swing arm, a sensing component, a lifting motor and a control unit, wherein the swing arm has a - pin a stylus is fixedly held on the pin holder; the hoisting motor is provided with a carrier tray for carrying the object to be tested, so that the object to be tested can be supported by the carrier Raising and lowering, and moving up and down under the boring needle, 'Lai Ran can detect the workpiece when it is connected to _ _ _; the sensing element can make the change of the ray and generate a sense corresponding to the amount of deformation Measured value, the mobile unit is divided into the _ component and the hoist motor is connected to f, the control unit drives the hoist motor to cause the hoist motor to push the carrier plate - and the (4) sensing component receives the sensed value, When the control unit judges 201113969 to break the sense of the touch threshold, the control unit (4) sends the ir stop signal to cause the lift motor to stop raising the carrier to prevent the surface of the object to be tested from being _ _ Needle over view, the surface with more money to be _ was damaged by the ship. According to the technical feature of the present invention, the detecting personnel can squat in the fresh and fresh elements according to the load characteristic of the object to be tested, and the motor can stop pushing the product when the sensing value reaches the job value. In order to avoid the point of pressure on the product, the amount of downforce is too much, so that it can not only avoid the smashing of the product, but also the detection sensitivity and accuracy. The object of the present invention is that when the value of the system reaches a certain proportion of the _ door chick, the control unit sends a “deceleration signal to the hoisting motor, so that the hoisting motor reduces the rate of the push-bearing surface” to ensure _ fine matter* Damaged. For the convenience review committee, we can make a further step-by-step understanding and understanding of the purpose, structure and efficacy of the present invention, and turn it into a detailed diagram as follows: [Embodiment] The inventor has been engaged in wafer inspection for a long time. ! I developed the towel and found that the conventional spotting device manually adjusts the spring to set the load on the wafer during the test. However, many wafers are often detected due to human error or loss. The stylus is pressed in the middle. At present, although some operators have invested in research and development, they are seeking improvement solutions for the above problems, but have not yet found a perfect solution. In view of this, the inventor has thought of detecting the amount of deformation of the swing arm by a sensing element and setting the threshold value to achieve the effect of adjusting the load. The present invention is a point measurement system capable of controlling the pressure of the spot measurement. In the first example of the present invention, in the first example of 201113969, as shown in FIG. 2, the point measurement system 2 includes a swing arm 2〇, sensing The component 21, the lifting motor 22 and a control unit 23, wherein the end of the swing arm 2 has a missing pin holder, and the pin holder has a stylus 201 on the scale. In addition, the hoisting motor 22 is provided with a carrying tray 22, which is used to carry the object to be tested 221. In the preferred embodiment, the object to be tested 221 is a =. The hoisting motor 22 can push and lower the bearing 220 to cause the object to be tested to move up and down below the stylus 2〇1 by the lifting and lowering of the carrier 220. In the first preferred embodiment, the sensing element 21 is a strain gauge (s(4) η Gage) which is a change in the resistance value of the metal wire to measure the strain of the object. The main reason is due to the resistance value and the metal. The length of the wire is proportional, so when an object is stretched or bent and deformed, the length change will cause a corresponding change in the resistance value of the strain gauge, thereby measuring the deformation amount (strain) of the object. Therefore, the sensing element 21 can detect the amount of deformation of the swing arm 2〇 and generate a sensing value (resistance value) corresponding to the amount of deformation. It should be particularly noted that the sensing element 21 is not limited to a strain gauge, and the manufacturer can also use an optical strain gage, _ as the sensing element 21, and the side of the swing arm 2 The amount of deformation. Alternatively, the manufacturer may use other measuring devices that generate a corresponding change in capacitance, inductance, or resistance by the amount of deformation of the object, so that the measuring device can emit a signal according to the change as the sensing value. The effect of detecting the amount of deformation of the swing arm 2 can also be achieved. In addition, in the first preferred embodiment, a computer is used as the control unit 23, and the present invention is not limited thereto. When the manufacturer designs and manufactures the spot measurement system 2 according to the disclosure of the present invention, As a control circuit 23, a control circuit can achieve the same effect, and any change that can be easily associated with those skilled in the art should be within the scope of the present invention. 201113969 Figure 2 shows that the control unit 23 is connected to the sensing element 21 and the lifting motor 22 respectively. When detecting the measured _, the __ reaches 22, so that the side is _ 22=23^ The =" 221 can gradually approach the point stylus 2 〇 _ _ the m 221 touches the stylus plus to the point, and the drop = 3 picture shows, when the object to be tested rises, the pluck === == ::::: This, _ (the carrier tray 22〇), the upward pushing force is gradually reduced by two, and in particular, 'for the reviewer to understand the technical features of the present invention, so in Figure 3 In a more exaggerated way, the bending of the swing arm 20 is changed. However, the bending deformation amount of the swing arm 2G is actually small, and it is not easy to be recognized by the naked eye. However, the sensing element 21 of the type such as the strain gauge is very Sensitive, so it is still possible to accurately align the arm 2G _ shape, and the corresponding value of the pot. In the above preferred embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 23 receives the sensed value ' from the sensing 7L member 21 and presets a gated value in the control unit 23'. The phytosanitary value is generally determined by the inspector based on the nature of the object to be tested and after the calculation. Moreover, when the J2 is continuously deformed by force, the sensing component 21 continuously generates a corresponding sensing value, so that the control unit 23 continuously receives the new sensing value. When the control unit 23 determines that the sensed value reaches the threshold value, the control unit 23 sends a stop signal to the lift motor 22 to stop the lift motor 22 from raising the tray 220. The load on the surface of the object 221 is no longer increased to prevent the surface of the object to be tested 221 from being excessively pressed by the spot stylus 201 'effectively preventing the surface of the object to be tested 221 from being damaged by compression. According to the technical features of the preferred embodiment, the detecting personnel can set the threshold value in the control unit 23 according to the load characteristic of the 201113969 object 221 to be tested, for example, according to the load tolerance range of the object to be tested 221. The lifting motor 22 can be operated by the sensing value to stop pushing the side object 221, and (4) the amount of depression of the measuring object 201 to the object to be tested 221 is beyond the load of the object to be tested 221 The tolerance range is such that not only the damage of the object to be tested 221 is avoided, but also the detection sensitivity and accuracy of the spotting system 2 can be greatly improved. In addition, in the above preferred embodiment, please refer to FIG. 3, in order to avoid the instantaneous pushing force between the object to be tested 221 and the point stylus 2〇1 when the lifting/lowering motor 22 is urgently stopped. a month of thinking and a deceleration mechanism, when the control unit 23 reaches the proportional value (for example, 8〇%) of the threshold value, the control unit 23 is the lifting motor 22 The stern motor 22 reduces the rate at which the carrier disk 220 is pushed to protect the object to be tested 221 from damage. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The above ratio is not limited to 嶋, and the manufacturer or the inspector may adjust the ratio according to actual detection requirements or according to the characteristics of the object to be tested, for example, adjusting the ratio ^ 70 Any changes that can be easily made by those skilled in the art are intended to be included in the scope of the present invention. In addition to the technical features of the first preferred embodiment described above, in the second comparative embodiment of the present invention, please refer to FIG. 4, which is mainly a set of non-contact image measuring instruments as the sensing element 41. 'In place of the strain gauge (sensing element 21) of the first preferred embodiment. In the preferred embodiment, a non-contact image measuring instrument developed by Amy Chuangye Co., Ltd. is used. The sensing component 41 (non-contact image measuring instrument) is a camera 410 and The image analysis device 411 is configured. As for the other 70 pieces, which are the same as the first preferred embodiment, the same 70-piece number is continued in FIG. 4, and the photographic mechanism is used to capture the swing arm 201113969. 20. The image is transmitted to the image analyzing device 411. The image analyzing device 4ιι performs a comparison analysis on the continuously acquired images. When the image changes, the image analyzing device 411 can determine that the swing arm 2〇 is deformed, and can calculate the change from the shadow change condition. The amount of deformation of the swing arm 20 is generated, and a corresponding sensed value is generated, and the sensed value is transmitted to the control unit 23. In this way, when the control unit 23 determines that the sensed value reaches the threshold value, the hoist motor 22 can send a stop signal 'to stop the hoist motor 22 from raising the carrier tray 22 〇, so that the object to be tested 221 The load on the upper side stops increasing, thereby protecting the surface of the object to be tested 221. Need to add - mention that 'in addition to the camera and image analysis device 4 ιι measurement of the swing arm 20 (four) shape, manufacturers or testers can also use other non-contact measurement methods 'including laser measurement and grating measurement, etc. In order to detect the amount of deformation of the swing arm 20, the effect of the present invention can be prevented from being excessively large. In view of the above, it is only a few preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not in this category, and those who are familiar with the technology in the field can easily change from the technical field of the present invention. Or, modifications are intended to be included in the scope of the claims of the invention below.
