Description

晶圓測試機台的遠端監控方法及系統Remote monitoring method and system for wafer testing machine

本發明是有關於一種監控方法及系統,且特別是有關於一種晶圓測試機台的遠端監控方法及系統。The invention relates to a monitoring method and system, and in particular to a remote monitoring method and system of a wafer testing machine.

隨著積體電路(Integrated Circuits,IC)元件對於處理速度、功能、小型化、輕量化等多方面的要求,半導體製程也朝向微型化、高密度化發展。在半導體產業中,積體電路的生產,主要分為三個階段:晶圓(wafer)的製造、積體電路的製作以及積體電路的封裝。而在進行上述生產步驟的同時,更需要對晶圓進行各種的測試,以挑選出晶圓上的不良晶粒,確保製程品質與生產良率。With the requirements of integrated circuit (Integrated Circuits, IC) components in terms of processing speed, function, miniaturization, and weight reduction, semiconductor processes are also developing toward miniaturization and high density. In the semiconductor industry, the production of integrated circuits is mainly divided into three stages: the manufacture of wafers, the production of integrated circuits, and the packaging of integrated circuits. While carrying out the above-mentioned production steps, it is necessary to perform various tests on the wafer in order to sort out the bad dies on the wafer to ensure the process quality and production yield.

晶圓測試主要可區分為兩大部份,分別是伴隨製程所進行的晶圓針測(wafer probe)及分類,以及封裝完成後的最終測試。其中,晶圓針測係於每一道製程完成後,利用晶圓針測機(prober)等測試機台,依序對晶圓上的晶粒進行測試,以量測每一個晶粒的電性,並對晶粒進行分類。其中被歸類為不良品之晶粒將不再進行後續之製程,以節省製作成本。Wafer testing can be divided into two major parts, namely wafer probe and classification carried out with the process, and final testing after packaging is completed. Among them, the wafer pin test is performed after each process is completed, using a test machine such as a wafer pin tester (prober) to sequentially test the die on the wafer to measure the electrical properties of each die. And classify the grains. The grains classified as defective will not be subjected to subsequent processes to save production costs.

晶圓針測目前均仰賴操作人員在針測機台上手動操作,待檢查各項參數並確認後,再手動啟動機台進行測試。在操作人員手動操作上下機的過程中,產品資訊會進入製造執行系統(Manufacturing Execution System,MES),此時需由操作人員手動過帳到機台上。待機台測試完成後,則需再由操作人員手動過帳到製造執行系統。然而,當機台作業完成或有異常產生時,若操作人員沒有即時發現,則會造成機台閒置。而且,操作人員過掛與掛帳的時間往往與機台的時間存在一段時間差,一旦產品有異常產生時,往往難以追溯作業時間。Wafer pin testing currently relies on operators to manually operate on the pin testing machine. After checking various parameters and confirming, manually start the machine for testing. During the manual operation of the operator by the operator, the product information will enter the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). At this time, the operator needs to manually post to the machine. After the standby test is completed, it is manually posted to the manufacturing execution system by the operator. However, when the machine operation is completed or there is an abnormality, if the operator does not find it immediately, the machine will be idle. In addition, the time for the operator to hang and charge the account often differs from the time of the machine. Once the product is abnormal, it is often difficult to trace the operation time.

The following examples illustrate the detailed steps of the monitoring device 10 performing remote monitoring on the wafer testing machine.

圖3是依照本發明一實施例所繪示之晶圓測試機台的遠端監控方法的流程圖。請同時參照圖1、圖2及圖3,本實施例的方法適用於上述圖1的遠端監控系統1及圖2的監控裝置10,以下即搭配圖1中遠端監控系統1及圖2的監控裝置10的各項元件,說明本實施例之遠端監控方法的詳細步驟:FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a remote monitoring method for a wafer testing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 at the same time. The method in this embodiment is applicable to the remote monitoring system 1 and the monitoring device 10 in FIG. 2 described above, and the following is used in conjunction with the remote monitoring system 1 and FIG. 2 in FIG. 1. Each element of the monitoring device 10 describes the detailed steps of the remote monitoring method in this embodiment:

首先,由處理器110利用通訊裝置102連結網路20,並透過網路20分別連線測試機台14、16、18,以控制測試機台14、16、18移入晶圓(步驟S302)。以下將以測試機台14為例做說明,但不限於此,以下的監控方法適用於與監控裝置10連線的所有測試機台。需說明的是,在處理器110控制測試機台14進行操作之前,例如會先校正測試機台14的時間,使得測試機台14的時間與監控裝置10的時間一致,以利後續追蹤。其中,在測試機台14移入晶圓後,可由操作人員在測試機台14上放入晶舟盒及探針卡,以準備進行測試。First, the processor 110 uses the communication device 102 to connect to the network 20, and connects the test machines 14, 16, and 18 through the network 20, respectively, to control the test machines 14, 16, and 18 to move into the wafer (step S302). The following uses the test machine 14 as an example for description, but is not limited thereto. The following monitoring method is applicable to all test machines connected to the monitoring device 10. It should be noted that before the processor 110 controls the test machine 14 for operation, for example, the time of the test machine 14 is first corrected so that the time of the test machine 14 is consistent with the time of the monitoring device 10 to facilitate subsequent tracking. Among them, after the test machine 14 is moved into the wafer, an operator can put a wafer box and a probe card on the test machine 14 to prepare for testing.

接著,由處理器110存取儲存裝置104中儲存的工作代碼,並利用通訊裝置102將上述工作代碼中的準備(setup)代碼掛載於測試機台14,以控制測試機台14讀取晶圓的識別參數,並將所讀取的識別參數與自製造執行系統12取得的產品參數比對(步驟S304)。其中,處理器110例如會利用通訊裝置102透過網路20連線製造執行系統12以取得目前上機的產品參數,包括待測晶圓的批號、序號、片號等,再將這些參品參數與測試機台14所讀取的晶圓的識別參數進行比對,以判斷比對結果是否相符(步驟S306)。處理器110同時也會自製造執行系統12取得製程種類、時間等製程參數,以做為後續控制測試機台14進行測試的依據。Next, the processor 110 accesses the work code stored in the storage device 104, and uses the communication device 102 to mount the setup code in the work code on the test machine 14 to control the test machine 14 to read the crystal. Identification parameters of the circle, and compare the read identification parameters with the product parameters obtained from the manufacturing execution system 12 (step S304). The processor 110, for example, uses the communication device 102 to connect to the manufacturing execution system 12 through the network 20 to obtain the current product parameters, including the batch number, serial number, and wafer number of the wafer to be tested, and then sets these parameters. A comparison is performed with the identification parameters of the wafer read by the test machine 14 to determine whether the comparison result is consistent (step S306). At the same time, the processor 110 also obtains process parameters such as process type and time from the manufacturing execution system 12 as a basis for controlling the test machine 14 for subsequent testing.

若比對結果不符,則處理器110會利用通訊裝置102控制測試機台14結束測試(步驟S308)。反之,若比對結果相符,則處理器110會依據製程種類、時間等製程參數,繼續利用通訊裝置102依序掛載工作代碼於測試機台14,以控制測試機台14對晶圓上的多個晶粒進行測試,並輸出測試資料(步驟S310)。其中,處理器110例如會針對測試機台14在進行測試時可能會發生的各種狀況,定義多個事件,以便在測試機台14對晶圓進行測試的過程中,可持續追蹤並判斷是否發生預先定義的事件。而若有判斷出事件,則可依據事先定義的動作,控制測試機台14輸出此事件發生時所需的測試資料。If the comparison result does not match, the processor 110 uses the communication device 102 to control the test machine 14 to end the test (step S308). On the contrary, if the comparison results match, the processor 110 will continue to use the communication device 102 to sequentially mount the work code on the test machine 14 according to the process parameters such as the process type and time, so as to control the test machine 14 on the wafer. The multiple dies are tested and test data is output (step S310). The processor 110, for example, defines multiple events for various conditions that may occur when the test machine 14 performs a test, so that during the test of the wafer by the test machine 14, it is possible to continuously track and determine whether or not Pre-defined events. If an event is determined, the test machine 14 can be controlled to output the test data required when the event occurs according to a predefined action.

最後,處理器110會判斷是否晶圓上的所有晶粒均完成測試(步驟S312)。若仍有晶粒未測試,則回到步驟S310,繼續掛載工作代碼以進行測試,直到所有晶粒均完成測試時,處理器110會利用通訊裝置102控制測試機台14移出晶圓(步驟S314)。其中,在測試結束之後,處理器110可先通知操作人員將測試機台14上的晶舟盒退出,再控制測試機台14移出晶圓。Finally, the processor 110 determines whether all the dies on the wafer have been tested (step S312). If there are still dies that have not been tested, go back to step S310 and continue to mount the work code for testing. Until all the dies are tested, the processor 110 will use the communication device 102 to control the test machine 14 to remove the wafer (step S314). After the test is completed, the processor 110 may first notify an operator to withdraw the wafer box on the test machine 14, and then control the test machine 14 to remove the wafer.

需說明的是,在對晶圓進行測試之前,監測裝置10例如還會額外針對測試機台14的針測卡進行檢查,確保針測卡不會影響到晶圓的測試。It should be noted that, before the wafer is tested, the monitoring device 10, for example, additionally checks the pin test card of the test machine 14 to ensure that the pin test card does not affect the test of the wafer.

詳言之,圖4是依照本發明一實施例所繪示之晶圓測試機台的遠端監控方法的流程圖。請同時參照圖1、圖2及圖4,本實施例的方法適用於上述圖1的遠端監控系統1及圖2的監控裝置10,以下即搭配圖1中遠端監控系統1及圖2的監控裝置10的各項元件,說明本實施例之遠端監控方法的詳細步驟:In detail, FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a remote monitoring method of a wafer testing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. Please refer to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 at the same time. The method in this embodiment is applicable to the remote monitoring system 1 and the monitoring device 10 in FIG. 2 described above. The following is used in conjunction with the remote monitoring system 1 and FIG. 2 in FIG. 1. Each element of the monitoring device 10 describes the detailed steps of the remote monitoring method in this embodiment:

本實施例是接續在圖3的步驟S306之後,即確認晶圓的識別參數與自製造執行系統取得的產品參數相符後,處理器110會先利用通訊裝置102掛載一個針測卡的測試代碼於測試機台14,以控制測試機台14對晶圓上的部分晶粒進行第一次測試(步驟S402)。而當第一次測試結束時,處理器110會利用通訊裝置102控制測試機台14停機(步驟S404),然後再掛載一個檢查代碼於測試機台14,以檢查第一次測試的結果是否正常(步驟S406)。其中,測試機台14例如會檢查晶圓上的針痕是否正常。In this embodiment, after step S306 in FIG. 3, that is, after confirming that the identification parameters of the wafer are consistent with the product parameters obtained from the manufacturing execution system, the processor 110 first uses the communication device 102 to mount a test code of a pin test card At the test machine 14, the test machine 14 is controlled to perform a first test on a part of the dies on the wafer (step S402). When the first test is over, the processor 110 uses the communication device 102 to control the test machine 14 to stop (step S404), and then mounts a check code on the test machine 14 to check whether the result of the first test Normal (step S406). Among them, the test machine 14 may check, for example, whether the pin marks on the wafer are normal.

若第一次測試的結果不正常,則代表針測卡可能損壞,此時處理器110會利用通訊裝置102控制測試機台14結束測試(步驟S408),以由操作人員檢視測試機台14。反之,若第一次測試的結果正常,即代表針測卡正常,此時處理器110會繼續利用通訊裝置102依序掛載工作代碼於測試機台14,以控制測試機台14對晶圓上的多個晶粒進行測試,並輸出測試資料(步驟S410)。If the result of the first test is abnormal, it means that the probe card may be damaged. At this time, the processor 110 uses the communication device 102 to control the test machine 14 to end the test (step S408), so that the operator can inspect the test machine 14. Conversely, if the result of the first test is normal, it means that the probe card is normal. At this time, the processor 110 will continue to use the communication device 102 to sequentially mount the work code on the test machine 14 to control the test machine 14 to the wafer. The plurality of dies on the chip are tested, and test data is output (step S410).

最後,處理器110會判斷是否晶圓上的所有晶粒均完成測試(步驟S412)。若仍有晶粒未測試,則回到步驟S410,繼續掛載工作代碼以進行測試,直到所有晶粒均完成測試時,處理器110會利用通訊裝置102控制測試機台14移出晶圓(步驟S414),而結束測試。Finally, the processor 110 determines whether all the dies on the wafer have been tested (step S412). If there are still dies that have not been tested, go back to step S410 and continue to mount the work code for testing. Until all the dies are tested, the processor 110 will use the communication device 102 to control the test machine 14 to remove the wafer (step S414), and the test is ended.

藉由上述的方法,監測裝置10可自動與製造執行系統12連線以取得測試所需的產品參數,也可透過遠端掛載工作代碼的方式,取代人工手動掛載,而自動控制測試機台14對晶粒進行測試。監測裝置10也可利用通訊裝置102接收各個測試機台的測試結果,以對這些資料進行集中管理。With the above method, the monitoring device 10 can automatically connect with the manufacturing execution system 12 to obtain the product parameters required for the test. It can also remotely mount the work code instead of manually mounting it, and automatically control the test machine. The stage 14 tests the die. The monitoring device 10 can also use the communication device 102 to receive the test results of each test machine to centrally manage these data.

需說明的是,由於本發明實施例採用由監測裝置自動控制測試機台進行晶圓測試,此方式不僅可省去人工手動設定機台所花費的人力及時間,且可取得晶圓測試過程中測試機台執行每個步驟實際所花費的時間,而可用於計算測試機台每進行一次測試所花費的時間,同時也可算出測試機台執行各個工作代碼的操作所花費的時間。It should be noted that, since the embodiment of the present invention uses a monitoring device to automatically control the testing machine for wafer testing, this method not only saves the labor and time spent manually setting up the machine, but also enables testing during wafer testing. The time actually taken by the machine to execute each step can be used to calculate the time taken by the test machine for each test, and the time taken by the test machine to perform the operations of each working code.

詳言之,監測裝置可計算晶圓移入及移出測試機台所經過的時間,並根據此測試機台本次對晶圓進行測試的次數,計算出測試機台每進行一次測試所花費的時間。另一方面,監測裝置也可累計各個工作代碼被掛載的時間,以評估測試機台執行各個工作代碼對應的測試工作所花費的時間,從而提供操作人員做為評估測試成本之用。In detail, the monitoring device can calculate the elapsed time of the wafer moving in and out of the test machine, and calculate the time taken by the test machine for each test based on the number of times the test machine has tested the wafer this time. On the other hand, the monitoring device can also accumulate the time when each work code is mounted to evaluate the time taken by the test machine to perform the test work corresponding to each work code, thereby providing an operator for evaluating the test cost.

另一方面,除了上述遠端控制測試機台的功能之外,監控裝置還可透過網路連線各個測試機台,以取得各個測試機台進行測試所產生的即時訊息,並將所取得的即時訊息顯示於監控頁面,以供操作人員檢視各個測試機台的目前狀況。On the other hand, in addition to the functions of the remote control test machine described above, the monitoring device can also connect to each test machine through the network to obtain real-time messages generated by each test machine for testing, and Instant messages are displayed on the monitoring page for operators to view the current status of each test machine.

Among them, the monitoring device can display all the testing machines connected to it, and receive the operator's selection operation on the displayed testing machines, so as to determine the testing machines that they want to see instant messages on the monitoring page.

另一方面,監控裝置例如會接收操作人員對於監控頁面中顯示的測試機台執行的控制操作,以利用透過網路連線此控制操作對應的測試機台,而對測試機台進行控制操作。On the other hand, the monitoring device receives, for example, a control operation performed by the operator on the test machine displayed on the monitoring page, so as to control the test machine by using the test machine corresponding to the control operation via a network connection.

需說明的是,監控裝置可透過網路直接連線控制操作對應的測試機台,以取得測試機台的人機介面的畫面,並在其顯示器上顯示此測試機台的人機介面。此外,監控裝置還可進一步接收操作人員對於人機介面的控制操作,據以控制測試機台執行此控制操作對應的功能。It should be noted that the monitoring device can directly control and operate the corresponding test machine through the network to obtain the screen of the man-machine interface of the test machine and display the man-machine interface of the test machine on its display.
