The controller 13 performs the operation of adjusting the position of the wafer W according to the sensor and calculation results, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the wafer W in a simple and high-precision manner.

下面將通過不同實施例說明感測器11感測器11感測器的實際中心位置的方式。The actual center position of the sensor 11 will be explained below through different embodiments.

根據本發明的一個可選實施例,參見圖2,感測器11獲取第一光斑B1的第一端點D1的第一位置P1、第一光斑B1的第二端點D2的第二位置P2、第二光斑B2的第一端點D3的第三位置P3和第二光斑B2的第二端點D4的第四位置P4中的至少三個位置, 並且將連接至少三個位置的兩條線段的中垂線的交點的位置作為晶圓W的實際中心位置PA。 在圖2中示出的實施例中,連接第一光斑B1的第一端點D1的第一位置P1和第一光斑B1的第二端點D2的第二位置P2形成第一線段N1,並且連接第一光斑B1的第一端點D1的第一位置P1和第二光斑B2的第二端點D4的第四位置P4形成第二線段N2,第一線段N1的中垂線為O1,第二線段N2的中垂線為O2, 中垂線O1的一端在點M1處垂直相交於第一線段N1,中垂線O2的一端在點M2處垂直於相交第二線段N2,中垂線O1的另一端與中垂線O2的另一端相交,二者的交點即為晶圓W的實際中心位置PA。According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 2, the sensor 11 acquires the first position P1 of the first endpoint D1 of the first light spot B1 and the second position P2 of the second endpoint D2 of the first light spot B1. , at least three positions among the third position P3 of the first endpoint D3 of the second light spot B2 and the fourth position P4 of the second endpoint D4 of the second light spot B2, and will connect two line segments of at least three positions. The position of the intersection point of the mid-perpendicular line is regarded as the actual center position PA of the wafer W. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 , connecting the first position P1 of the first endpoint D1 of the first light spot B1 and the second position P2 of the second endpoint D2 of the first light spot B1 forms a first line segment N1, And connecting the first position P1 of the first endpoint D1 of the first light spot B1 and the fourth position P4 of the second endpoint D4 of the second light spot B2 to form a second line segment N2, the center perpendicular of the first line segment N1 is O1, The center perpendicular line of the second line segment N2 is O2. One end of the center perpendicular line O1 perpendicularly intersects the first line segment N1 at point M1. One end of the center perpendicular line O2 is perpendicular to the intersecting second line segment N2 at point M2. The other end of the center perpendicular line O1 One end intersects with the other end of the center vertical line O2, and the intersection point of the two is the actual center position PA of the wafer W.

為了使所感測到的晶圓的實際中心位置更精準,可選地,每條線段連接的兩個位置不相鄰,具體而言,如圖3所示,連接第一光斑B1的第一端點D1的第一位置P1和第二光斑B2的第一端點D3的第三位置P3形成第一線段N1,連接第一光斑B1的第二端點D2的第二位置P2和第二光斑B2的第二端點D4的第四位置P4形成第二線段N2, 根據圖2可以看出,第一線段N1的兩個端點沿晶圓的圓周方向彼此並不相鄰,而是被第一光斑B1的第二端點D2間隔開,同樣,第二線段N2的兩個端點沿晶圓的圓周方向彼此也不相鄰,而是被第二光斑B2的第一端點D3間隔開,由此可以將兩個光斑的四個端點的位置同時作為獲取的晶圓的實際中心位置的條件值。 通過獲得第一線段N1的中垂線與第二線段N2的中垂線的交點的位置即可以確定晶圓W的實際中心位置PA。In order to make the actual center position of the wafer sensed more accurate, optionally, the two positions connected by each line segment are not adjacent.

The first position P1 of point D1 and the third position P3 of the first endpoint D3 of the second light spot B2 form a first line segment N1, connecting the second position P2 of the second endpoint D2 of the first light spot B1 and the second light spot. The fourth position P4 of the second endpoint D4 of B2 forms a second line segment N2. According to Figure 2, it can be seen that the two endpoints of the first line segment N1 are not adjacent to each other along the circumferential direction of the wafer, but are The second endpoint D2 of the first light spot B1 is spaced apart. Similarly, the two endpoints of the second line segment N2 are not adjacent to each other along the circumferential direction of the wafer, but are separated by the first endpoint D3 of the second light spot B2. Open, thus the positions of the four endpoints of the two light spots can be simultaneously used as the conditional value of the actual center position of the acquired wafer. The actual center position PA of the wafer W can be determined by obtaining the intersection position of the mid-perpendicular line of the first line segment N1 and the mid-perpendicular line of the second line segment N2.

The detector 11 acquires the first position P1 of the second endpoint D2 of the first light spot B1 and the second position P2 of the first endpoint D3 of the second light spot B2, and connects the line segment between the first position P1 and the second position P2.

In this case, the connection The first line segment N1 can be obtained from the first position P1 of the second endpoint D2 of the first light spot B1 and the second position P2 of the first endpoint D3 of the second light spot B2. The position of the midpoint of the first line segment N1 is It can be used as the actual center position PA of the wafer W.

根據本發明另一可選實施例,參見圖5,第一光斑B1與第二光斑B2彼此垂直並且第二光斑B2通過第一光斑B1的中點,感測器11獲取第二光斑B2的中點的位置,並且將第二光斑B2的中點的位置作為晶圓W的實際中心位置PA。According to another optional embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 5, the first light spot B1 and the second light spot B2 are perpendicular to each other and the second light spot B2 passes through the midpoint of the first light spot B1. The sensor 11 acquires the midpoint of the second light spot B2. point position, and the position of the midpoint of the second light spot B2 is regarded as the actual center position PA of the wafer W.

在晶圓的加工過程中,晶圓在不同工位之間的轉運通常由機械臂執行,對此,可選地,參見圖1,光源10設置在用於取放晶圓W的機械臂R上。During the processing of wafers, the transfer of wafers between different workstations is usually performed by a robotic arm. For this purpose, optionally, referring to FIG. 1 , the light source 10 is provided on the robotic arm R used to pick and place the wafer W. superior.

進一步可選地,控制器13通過控制機械臂R移動以使被機械臂R抓持的晶圓W的實際中心位置PA與目標中心位置PP重合。Further optionally, the controller 13 controls the robot arm R to move so that the actual center position PA of the wafer W grasped by the robot arm R coincides with the target center position PP.
