Description of the Invention (b The present invention relates to a marking device for semiconductor wafer identification marks. During the semiconductor wafer manufacturing process, the identification marks are printed by laser lithography. A method for controlling the quality of a semiconductor wafer and marking an identification mark on the surface of a wafer in order to identify the type of the semiconductor wafer used in the component process. Laser lithography is used to print on the surface of a semiconductor wafer. Therefore, by reading the identification mark in the element process, the semiconductor wafer used in various element processes can be confirmed. In order to identify the δ number can be used in the element process. Correctly read, the identification mark must be engraved to a certain depth, such as 70 ± 20 μm. The depth to be completed in the semiconductor wafer manufacturing step must be constant. If the identification mark is engraved after the mirror polishing step, the scoring will be Causes the generation of particles. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out marking before the last name engraving or grinding step. However When the identification mark is engraved on the polished wafer, the etchant used in the subsequent etching step will generate / defect in the damage caused by the identification mark. When the identification mark is engraved before the grinding step with a large tolerance, it is difficult Confirm that the depth of the identification mark is constant during the mirror polishing process. Not only does this fail to meet the specifications required in the component manufacturing process, sometimes the identification mark itself completely disappears. Based on this, if the method to solve the above problem is to determine the wafer after polishing The thickness is constant. According to the measured thickness, the wafer sheet is divided into a plurality of groups. For each group, considering the tolerance of grinding, the identification mark is etched to a depth. According to this method, the scratches from the identification mark are polished. It was removed after washing 'and therefore there were no stains by subsequent etching. 4 The paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 cm) τ I 11 -------- I- ----- Line {Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) 4161 ^ Α7 Β7 Printed by the Shellfish Consumer Cooperative of the Bureau of Standards and Loss of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 416102 V. Description of the invention (2 caused. Ran Sorting wafers according to their thickness not only increases the number of process steps, but also makes it difficult to slice wafers according to their cutting> steps. When wafers are sorted, the number of classifications is limited. When the thickness varies greatly during the slicing process It is difficult to meet the required specifications in the component manufacturing process. The thickness i, which is also used in the conventional thickness classification method, is actually in the grinding stage, and therefore the thickness near the central part of the wafer a is measured. When at the end In step shot, when the thickness difference between the central portion of the wafer and the thickness at the marking position is large, there is a problem of inconsistent marking depth. In view of the above disadvantages, the object of the present invention is to provide a Apparatus and method for marking identification marks on circular wafers. The wafer wafers are manufactured according to the slicing sequence, and the depth of the identification marks after mirror polishing must be based on this. The device for marking identification marks on a semiconductor wafer of the present invention includes a semiconductor wafer Turntab Ie on the bottom to turn the semiconductor wafer horizontally; a thickness measuring device to measure at any position around the semiconductor Degree; a laser head, the light imprinting identification symbol on a semiconductor wafer by a laser. The laser head is controlled by the measuring depth of the thickness measuring device, and thus the marking depth can be controlled. The method of marking the semiconductor wafer identification mark is a method of engraving the identification mark on the semiconductor wafer sheet by laser light. The thickness of the plan marking on the wafer sheet or any position near the marking position is first measured. And then an identification mark is engraved on the wafer sheet, the depth of which is the planned engraving thickness plus the final processing step of the semiconductor wafer.
