For further understanding of the features and technical aspects of the present invention, reference should be made to the following detailed description and drawings of the invention. [Embodiment] Referring to the third embodiment, the wafer fragment detecting device 20 of the present invention is disposed in a wafer cassette 3, and the wafer fragment detecting device 20 includes a plurality of detecting holes. 2丄, a plurality of gas delivery pipes 2 2 and a plurality of gas pressure sensors 23 . The wafer cassette 30 is a box for storing a wafer flank contact (as shown in the first figure), and the detection holes are uniformly distributed in the wafer cassette 3 The portion to which the wafer will contact is connected to the (4) hole 2 1 at the end of each of the gas It pipes 2 2 . A gas is passed through each of the gas delivery tubes 22, and the gas is ejected from the probe 2 to the wafer illusion. In this embodiment, the gas is nitrogen. The gas pressure sensors 23 are connected to the gas delivery tubes 2 2 1 to measure the gas pressure value in the delivery tube 2 2 and can send a warning signal to the user or other device when the gas pressure value is abnormal. . ^Film Fragment Detection Device 2 〇 mainly uses the gas force to transmit the repeated changes of the emulsion in the L2 2 to detect the wafer retention in the wafer cassette 3, and can automatically remove some of the crystals in the case. scrap. The operation of the wafer fragment detecting device 2 is as follows: Before the new wafer is placed in the wafer cassette 3, the mirror fragments remain in the wafer cassette 3, and the wafer fragment _ "20 Nitrogen gas is first introduced into the gas delivery tubes 22 3 and then ejected through the detection holes 21 to the wafer cassette 3 for a period of time, and then the gas waste sensing is measured during the period of time. If there is no wafer fragment remaining in the wafer cassette 30 in the gas delivery tube, the detection holes 21 are not blocked by any wafer fragmentation when the gas is ejected, thereby causing resistance to gas ejection. The gas pressure sensing 22 2 of the gas delivery 22 2 will not measure the rise of the Lili rise. ...Please refer to the fourth figure, if the wafer fragment 3 remains in the wafer cassette 30 When the volume of the wafer fragment is small, the force of the nitrogen gas can be directly blown out of the wafer cassette 30 to achieve the function of the wafer fragment removal: The wafer fragment 3 1 is small in size, but still exerts some resistance to the gas ejection, so the gas pressure sensor 2 3 will It is detected that the pressure of the gas transfer tube 2 2 is slightly increased, but after the wafer fragment 3 1 is blown off, the gas pressure is restored to the normal value field. 曰曰...μ苓 Read the fifth picture, such as wafer fragmentation 3 1 is too large and the gas pressure is not enough to blow it out of the wafer cassette 30, the crystal fragment $1 will block the ejection of the f body on the detection hole near the wafer fragment 3'. The pressure in the gas chamber 2 2 connected to the detecting hole 2 is increased. Connecting the gas wheel tube 2 2 = the pressure sensor 2 3 senses that the gas force is abnormally increased, and a message is sent to remind the user to reach The function of the wafer fragmentation system is as shown in the tenth figure, and please cooperate with the above-mentioned wafer fragment detection device 2 〇 to the following steps: s 1 Ο 1 : provide a wafer cassette 30 and a wafer fragment detecting device 2 disposed in the wafer cassette 3, wherein the wafer fragment detecting device includes the detecting hole 2 1 and the gas conveying tube 2 2 ^ Pneumatic sensor 2 3 ; S 103 : Passing gas (nitrogen) into the gas delivery tube 2 2 of the wafer fragment detecting device 20, and then passing through the wafer The detecting hole 2 1 in the 30 is ejected into the cassette 3; [-S 1 〇 5: measuring whether the pressure of the gas transfer tube 2 2 is increased by the air pressure sensor 23, and then determining the crystal Round box 3 残留 No residual wafer fragment 3 1. If the pressure of the gas delivery tube 2 2 is not increased, it means that there is no wafer fragment 3 1 in the wafer cassette 3 反之, otherwise the pressure of the gas delivery tube 22 is increased. Indicates that there is a wafer fragment 31 in the wafer cassette 30; S 1 〇7: when any waferless chip 3 in the wafer cassette 3 is ', a new wafer can be stored in the wafer cassette 3 ;; S109: If the pressure of the gas delivery pipe 22 increases, it is further determined whether the pressure value has not recovered the original value for a period of time. If the pressure of the gas delivery tube 2 2 is restored to the original value, it is indicated that the wafer fragment 3 1 in the wafer cassette 3 is blown off by the gas ejected from the detection hole 2 2 . Conversely, the pressure of the gas delivery tube 2 2 is not restored to the original value, indicating that the wafer fragments in the wafer cassette 3 无法 cannot be removed; S 1 1 1 · the pressure of the gas delivery tube 2 2 is not restored to 1364089 circular fragments The detecting device 20 sends an alarm, and the user uses other methods to remove the crystal.
