New Description: [New Technology Field] This creation is about a semiconductor process device, and in particular, it relates to a wafer edge-finding device and a touch-cutting machine. [Prior Art] Generally, a wafer is a single crystal slab as a substrate, and an epitaxial layer is usually formed by chemical vapor deposition on a working surface (front surface) of the wafer. However, in the process of performing the epitaxial process, in order to prevent the impurities on the back surface of the wafer from being diffused to the working surface and changing its electrical properties, an oxide layer is formed on the back surface of the wafer to be used as a protective layer, thereby suppressing the back side of the wafer. The impurities diffuse. In the process of forming an oxide layer on the back side of the wafer, it is inevitable to form an oxide layer on the edge of the wafer or even on the front side of the wafer. However, in the epitaxial process of the wafer, the epitaxial growth is performed on the front side of the wafer, and the oxide layer located at the edge of the wafer causes the epitaxial grains to produce crown protrusions, so that the film formation quality of the epitaxial film is not good. Therefore, before the wafer is epitaxially processed, the oxide edge of the wafer edge and the front side of the wafer is removed, leaving only the oxide layer on the wafer surface. However, since the position at which the wafer is placed on the take-up holder is offset, reading on the wafer shifting reaction stage causes a problem of inaccurate wafer positioning. Therefore, in the case of the side crystal® edge oxide layer, the size of the warp layer after the engraving can be made to reduce the reliability of the final product.

In the following embodiments, the two-circle rim positioning device is turned over to the side machine tablecloth, but you: not limited to this. Fig. 1 is a view showing the etching machine of the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2A to FIG. 2B are schematic diagrams showing the edge-finding positioning of the wafer by using the wafer edge-finding positioning of FIG. Referring to FIG. 1, the etching machine 1 includes wafer edge positioning 2'' carrier 300 and hood 400. The etching machine 1 is, for example, a machine. The button engraving machine has just been used to remove the film layer on the wafer, for example to remove the edge oxide layer on the wafer 500, but this creation does not use this. Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B at the same time, the wafer edge-finishing “mounting” is used to perform edge-finding positioning on the wafer 5 with the flat opening 502. The wafer 500 is, for example, a germanium wafer. The wafer edge-finding device 2 includes a rotating table 202, a jig 204, a light source 2〇6, and a photodetector 2〇8. In this embodiment, the wafer 5 having the flat opening 502 is described by taking a circular shape as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the wafer 5 having the flat opening 502 may also be square or quasi-square. That is, as long as the wafer 500 has a flat opening 502', it is within the scope of the present invention. The rotating table 202 has a first center point ρι on its carrying plane 210, and carries and rotates the wafer 500. In this embodiment, the carrier plane 21 is included to include the carrier surface on the gray turntable 202 for carrying the wafer 5 and its extended plane. 7 M426869 When the wafer 500 is placed on the rotating table 202, the clamp 204 is used to clamp the wafer 500' such that the second center point p2 of the wafer 500 is aligned with the first center point P, by means of the fixture The manner of sandwiching the wafer 5 可 can accurately and quickly center the position of the second center point P2 of the wafer 500 to transport the wafer 500 from the wafer edge locating device 2 to the carrier. The distance of the board 300 is adjusted to a preset standard distance, thereby preventing the wafer 500 from being displaced at a position on the carrier 3〇〇. The light source 206 emits a light beam L having a contact point Pc with the bearing plane 21〇, wherein the distance D1 between the first f-center point pi and the contact point Pc is equal to the shortest between the second center point P2 and the flat port 5〇2. Distance d2. Light source 206 is, for example, a laser source. The light detector 208 is used to detect the light beam L. The photodetector 208 is, for example, a laser detector.
