Description
本發明是有關於一種載板供應設備及其供應方法,特別是有關於一種能夠自動將運送裝置上的載板勾取至晶片取放裝置的載板供應設備及其供應方法。 The present invention relates to a carrier supply device and its supply method, in particular to a carrier supply device and its supply method capable of automatically hooking a carrier on a transport device to a wafer pick-and-place device.
崩應(Burn-in)測試是積體電路在後半段的測試過程中用於測試晶片是否有瑕疵,有瑕疵的晶片在崩應測試的過程中會提早顯現出其生命週期較短的特性。現有的崩應測試方法主要是將待測試的晶片放置於特定的載板上,再將載板送往崩應測試爐,以特定的時間、溫度對晶片加熱並進行電性測試。 The burn-in test is used in the second half of the test process of the integrated circuit to test whether the chip is flawed, and the defective chip will show its short life cycle characteristics early in the process of the burn-in test. The existing avalanche test method is mainly to place the wafer to be tested on a specific carrier, and then send the carrier to the avalanche test furnace, heat the wafer at a specific time and temperature, and conduct an electrical test.
在進行崩應測試之前,由於待測試晶片的數量相當龐大,並且不同產品使用的晶片所需要的測試條件也不盡相同,因此目前是以晶片取放裝置輔助將待測試的晶片放置於載板上。然而將載板移動至晶片取放裝置與移出放置完晶片的載板等工作目前仍須仰賴人力,除了容易造成人員疲勞之外,在更換不同批號、種類的晶片進行取放時也有可能因人員失誤造成載板或晶片取放錯誤。因此,目前仍需要一種載板移動設備來解決現有技術遇到的問題。 Before the crash test, due to the large number of wafers to be tested and the different test conditions required for wafers used in different products, the wafer pick-and-place device is currently used to assist in placing the wafers to be tested on the carrier. However, the work of moving the carrier board to the wafer pick-and-place device and removing the wafer-placed carrier board still requires manpower. In addition to easily causing fatigue, human errors may also cause carrier board or wafer pick-and-place errors when replacing different batches and types of wafers for pick-and-place. Therefore, there is still a need for a carrier mobile device to solve the problems encountered in the prior art.
根據現有技術所面臨的問題,本發明的目的是提供一種載板供應設備,能夠自動將運送裝置上的載板移取至晶片取放裝置,減少人力的消耗。 According to the problems faced by the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a carrier board supply device, which can automatically transfer the carrier board on the transport device to the wafer pick-and-place device, reducing the consumption of manpower.

When the chip pick-and-place device completes the chip placement operation on the carrier board, it hooks the carrier board through the exit to the carrying platform; and hooks the carrier board through the entrance to the delivery device.
在一較佳實施例中,處理器根據第一訊號控制取物臂將載板勾取至運送裝置上載板的原始位置。 In a preferred embodiment, the processor controls the pick-up arm to hook the carrier board to the original position of the carrier board on the conveying device according to the first signal.
在一較佳實施例中,其中透過第一感測器以感測運送裝置內的載板的步驟中,如果沒有感測到載板,則控制取物臂帶動第一感測器移動,以及實施透過第一感測器以感測運送裝置內的載板的步驟直到第一感測器感測到載板。 In a preferred embodiment, in the step of sensing the carrier in the conveying device through the first sensor, if no carrier is sensed, then controlling the pick-up arm to drive the first sensor to move, and implementing the step of sensing the carrier in the conveying device through the first sensor until the first sensor senses the carrier.

When the carrier board is hooked onto the carrier platform, the second sensor senses the barcode on the carrier board and sends the second signal to the processor. When the carrier board is hooked to the wafer pick-and-place device, the processor simultaneously sends the second signal to the wafer pick-and-place device. In this way, the operator only needs to dock the conveying device loaded with multiple empty boards to the entrance of the board supply equipment, and the movement of the boards can be automatically completed by the board supply equipment, thus reducing manpower consumption. In addition, since the movement of the carrier is automatically performed by the carrier supply equipment, it is also possible to avoid carrier movement errors caused by operators, and greatly improve the accuracy of wafer pick-and-place of the wafer pick-and-place device to improve work efficiency.

FIG. 4 is a system block diagram showing the electrical connections of components in the carrier board supply device according to the embodiment of FIG. 2 . Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the
請繼續參考圖1至圖4,當操作人員推送運送裝置20至本發明的載板供應設備10並且容置於入口111時,處理器13控制取物臂121向入口111移
動,此時第一感測器123即可感測運送裝置20中載板21的位置並傳送第一訊號至處理器13。在此,第一訊號包括載板21於運送裝置20上的位置資料。處理器13接著根據第一訊號控制取物臂121勾取其中一片載板21至承載平台122,第二感測器124即可感測此載板21上的條碼211並回傳對應此載板21的第二訊號至處理器13。在此,第二訊號為此載板21上晶片排序資料的儲存路徑,例如是資料庫40內的儲存路徑。處理器13在接收到第二訊號後,即控制取物臂121勾取此載板21至晶片取放裝置30並同時傳送第二訊號至晶片取放裝置30,以供晶片取放裝置30進行後續的晶片取放作業。本實施例中,晶片取放裝置30還電性連接於資料庫40,因此晶片取放裝置30可根據第二訊號的內容從資料庫下載對應此載板21的晶片排序資料,並根據此晶片排序資料將晶片放置於載板21對應的晶片插槽212上。如此一來,由於載板21的移動作業可由本發明的載板供應裝置10自動進行,因此能夠大幅減少人力消耗。此外,由於晶片取放裝置30的晶片取放作業是依據上述第二訊號所得到的資料庫路徑而從資料庫下載對應此載板21的晶片排序資料,因此也能夠大幅提高晶片取放裝置30的晶片取放精確度,進而能夠大幅提高整體的作業效率。
Please continue to refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, when the operator pushes the
請繼續參考圖1至圖4。運送裝置20上通常裝載多片載板21(如圖2所示),由於每片載板21能夠容置的晶片種類不盡相同,而且載板21在運送裝置20上的放置位置可能與晶片測試後的製程站點有關聯,因此每片載板21的位置不一定能夠隨意更動。本實施例的載板供應裝置10中,取物臂121也可帶動第一感測器123在垂直於承載平台122的承載面的方向上來回移動,因此第一感測器123能夠感測每片載板21在運送裝置20上的位置。當其中一個載板21被第一感測器123感測到時,第一感測器123即會傳送第一訊號至處理器13,處
理器13會根據第一訊號判斷第一感測器123的所在位置有載板21存在並控制取物臂121勾取載板21。如此一來,由於操作人員不需再以手動搬運的方式移動載板21至晶片取放裝置30,因此可減少人力消耗,相較於以人力搬運載板21或是使用習知彎折式的機械手臂移動載板21,能夠進一步縮短載板21的移動時間。此外,也能夠避免操作人員不慎放入錯誤載板21至晶片取放裝置30,導致晶片取放裝置30隨後放入錯誤晶片的狀況發生。

請參考圖5與圖6A,步驟S102:透過第一感測器感測載板運送裝置內的載板。在此步驟中,第一感測器123固設於取物臂121朝向入口111的一端,因此第一感測器123能夠隨著取物臂121移動以感測運送裝置20上的載板21。如圖6A所示,本實施例中,取物臂121可在入口111與出口112之間移動,例如是沿一個平行於XY平面的方向D1移動,其中取物臂121上設有勾爪1211,

此外,請參考圖2、圖5與圖6A,步驟S107:透過取物臂帶動第一感測器移動。如圖2所示,運送裝置20上可能會裝載多片載板21,每片載板21之間會有高低的落差,並且運送裝置20的每層支架上也不一定有裝載載板21。因此,在此步驟中,若第一感測器123沒有感測到載板21,例如是在一預設的時間內處理器13沒有接收到第一訊號,則處理器13可控制取物臂121往其他不同於D1的方向移動或轉動,直到處理器13接收到第一感測器123回傳的第一訊號為止。

圖7是根據圖5的實施例,表示使用本發明載板供應設備的載板移動流程圖。請參考圖6C與圖7,步驟S201是接續於圖6的步驟S106。步驟S201:當晶片取放裝置對載板完成晶片放置作業時,通過出口勾取載板至承載平台。在此步驟中,當晶片取放裝置30根據載板21對應的晶片放置資訊完成晶片放置後,處理器13控制取物臂121通過出口112將載板21勾取至承載平台122。此時載板21已經完成晶片的放置,故此過程不再使用第二感測器124對載板21上的條碼211進行掃描。
FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing carrier movement using the carrier supply apparatus of the present invention according to the embodiment of FIG. 5 . Please refer to FIG. 6C and FIG. 7 , step S201 is continued from step S106 in FIG. 6 . Step S201: When the wafer pick-and-place device completes the wafer placement operation on the carrier board, hook the carrier board to the carrier platform through the exit. In this step, after the wafer pick-and-
請參考圖6A、圖6B與圖7,步驟S202:通過入口勾取載板至運送裝置。在此步驟中,處理器13根據前述第一訊號的內容得到載板21在運送裝置20上的原始位置,因此處理器13可控制取物臂121將載板21通過入口111勾取至運送裝置20上的原始位置上。如此一來,載板供應裝置10即可移動下一片載
板21至晶片取放裝置30進行晶片放置作業,且由於載板供應設備10可將載板21歸位於運送裝置20上原始的放置位置,因此操作人員在晶片取放裝置30完成載板21的晶片放置作業後,不需要再以手動的方式將載板21歸位回運送裝置20,而且完成運送裝置20內所有載板21的晶片放置作業後,操作人員可直接移動運送裝置20至下一個製程站,故能大幅節省作業時間並增加載板供應與晶片取放的工作效率。
Please refer to FIG. 6A , FIG. 6B and FIG. 7 , step S202 : picking up the carrier board through the entrance to the delivery device. In this step, the
綜上所述,本發明的實施例中,載板供應設備上具有第一感測器以感測運送裝置中載板的位置並傳送第一訊號給處理器,載板被勾取至承載平台上時由第二感測器感測載板上的條碼並傳送第二訊號至處理器,載板被勾取至晶片取放裝置時,處理器同時將第二訊號傳送至晶片取放裝置。如此一來,操作人員只需要將裝載多片空載板的運送裝置對接至載板供應設備的入口,載板的移動即可自動由載板供應設備完成,因此能減少人力消耗。此外,由於載板的移動由載板供應設備自動進行,因此也能夠避免操作人員造成的載板移動錯誤,並大幅提高晶片取放裝置的晶片取放精確度以提高作業效率。 To sum up, in the embodiment of the present invention, the carrier board supply device has a first sensor to sense the position of the carrier board in the transport device and send a first signal to the processor. When the carrier board is hooked onto the carrier platform, the second sensor senses the barcode on the carrier board and sends the second signal to the processor. When the carrier board is hooked to the wafer pick-and-place device, the processor simultaneously sends the second signal to the wafer pick-and-place device. In this way, the operator only needs to dock the conveying device loaded with multiple empty boards to the entrance of the board supply equipment, and the movement of the boards can be automatically completed by the board supply equipment, thus reducing manpower consumption. In addition, since the movement of the carrier is automatically performed by the carrier supply equipment, it is also possible to avoid carrier movement errors caused by operators, and greatly improve the accuracy of wafer pick-and-place of the wafer pick-and-place device to improve work efficiency.
