SYSTEM FOR VISION INSPECTION OF SEMICONDUCTOR
DEVICE
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a vision inspection system, and, more particularly, to a vision inspection system for semiconductor device that is capable of reducing the equipment size of an automatic optical inspection system for semiconductor device, such as memory modules, and increasing the inspection speed. Background Art
[2] Semiconductor device, including memory modules, are manufactured through a series of processes and are subjected to precise inspection before shipping. Not only the internal defectiveness of the semiconductor device packages but also microscopic defects on the external appearances of the semiconductor device have a fatal influence on the performance of the semiconductor device. For this reason, the precise inspection includes various kinds of inspection, such as inspection of the external appearances of the semiconductor device using vision cameras, as well as inspection of electric operations of the semiconductor device.
[3] Generally, external defects of semiconductor device, especially defects of ball grid arrays (BGA) and leads, may occur during the assembly of the semiconductor device to a printed circuit board (PCB). Consequently, the inspection of the leads or the balls is very important.
[4] An example of a system for inspecting the external appearances of semiconductor device is disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 0663385 entitled "Vision inspection system for semiconductor device, "which has been filed and registered in the name of the applicant of the present application.
[5] The disclosed vision inspection system for semiconductor device includes a loading region (A) disposed in the front of a system body for allowing a loading stacker in which trays having semiconductor device to be visually inspected received therein are stacked to be installed therein, a sorting region (B) disposed in the front of the system body at one side of the loading region (A) for allowing semiconductor device to be sorted into good semiconductor device and defective semiconductor device therein, a cleaning region (C) disposed above the system body for allowing semiconductor device to be visually inspected to be cleaned therein, a vision inspection region (D) for allowing the front and rear surfaces of the semiconductor device cleaned in the cleaning region (C) to be inspected therein, a handling region (E) for allowing a handler, picking up semiconductor device to be visually inspected, to be moved
therein, a buffer region (F) for allowing the visually inspected semiconductor device to be put back therein, and a recycling region (G) for allowing empty trays, among trays supplied through the loading region (A), to be transferred to the buffer region (F) therein.
[6] Also, an empty tray region for allowing empty trays to be stacked therein are disposed in the front of the system body.
[7] In the conventional vision inspection system for semiconductor device, however, the loading region where trays to be visually inspected received therein are stacked, the sorting region where semiconductor device are sorted into good semiconductor device and defective semiconductor device according to the results of the vision inspection, and the recycling region where an empty tray is supplied to the buffer region occupy the front and rear of the system body, i.e., work spaces. As a result, the efficient use of the installation space is not expected.
[8] Also, it is required to additionally provide the empty tray region where empty trays, which will be supplied to the trays to receive semiconductor device sorted into good semiconductor device or defective semiconductor device, among the visually inspected semiconductor device, are stacked. As a result, it is difficult to reduce the size of equipment. Disclosure of Invention

[20] FIG. 1 is a view illustrating the structure of a system for vision insfection of semiconductor device according to a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view illustrating part "A"of FIG. 1.
[21] Referring to these drawings, the present invention relates to a vision inspection system that photographs the surfaces of semiconductor device and automatically determines whether the semiconductor device are defective or not depending upon the photographed results. The vision inspection system includes a system body 100, a loader unit 110, a transfer rail unit 120, a vision inspection unit 130, a transfer picker
unit 140, a picker moving unit 150, reject trays 160, and a sorting device 170.
[22] In the loader unit 110 are stacked a plurality of trays 300, in which semiconductor device are received, in a slot fashion. The loader unit 110 includes a pair of loaders, i.e., a first loader 111 and a second loader 112, mounted at opposite sides of the front of the system body 100.
[23] In the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, although not shown concretely in the drawings, each of the loaders 111 and 112 preferably includes a lifting device (not shown) for raising and lowering the trays 300 stacked therein while controlling the heights of the trays 300. Also, although not shown in the drawings, it is obvious that, the vision inspection system according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention further includes an indexing device for withdrawing a tray located at a predetermined height by each of the lifting device from each of the loaders 111 and 112 or inserting a tray into each of the loaders 111 and 112.
[24] The transfer rail unit 120 includes a first transfer rail 121 and a second transfer rail
122 which are mounted at the rear of the respective loaders 111 and 112 such that the withdrawn trays 300 can be transferred in the forward- and-rearward direction on the respective transfer rails 121 and 122.
[25] The vision inspection unit 130 includes a pair of vision cameras, i.e., a first vision camera 131 and a second vision camera 132, which are mounted between the first transfer rail 121 and the second transfer rail 122, such that the first vision camera 131 is followed by the second vision camera 132 in the forward- and-rearward direction, for photographing the front and rear surfaces of semiconductor device.
[26] Preferably, the vision inspection system according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention further includes a cleaning unit 180 which includes a first cleaner 181 and a second cleaner 182 for cleaning the semiconductor device before the vision inspection of the semiconductor device is carried out by the first vision camera 131 and the second vision camera 132.
[27] In other words, when foreign matter, such as fine dust or pollutants, sticks to the surface of a semiconductor device, the semiconductor device concerned may be determined to be defected due to the foreign matter. For this reason, it is preferred to remove the foreign matter sticking to the surface of the semiconductor device using the cleaning unit, thereby eliminating factors causing inspection errors.
[28] The transfer picker unit 140 includes a first transfer picker 141 and a second transfer picker 142 which are movable on the system body horizontally from side to side for picking up and transferring semiconductor device from the trays located on the respective transfer rails 121 and 122 such that the vision inspection of the picked-up and transferred semiconductor device can be carried out by the vision inspection unit 130.
[29] The picker moving unit 150 includes a first picker mover 151 and a second picker mover 152 which are mounted between the respective transfer rails, such that the first picker mover 151 and the second picker mover 152 extend from side to side, for guiding the side-to-side horizontal movement of the first transfer picker 141 and the second transfer picker 142.
[30] The reject trays 160 are mounted at the rear of the respective loaders 111 and 112 between the transfer rails 121 and 122 for receiving semiconductor device determined to be defective.
[31] The sorting device 170 serves to sort semiconductor device as semiconductor device to be distributed to the reject trays or semiconductor device to be distributed to the trays 300 withdrawn from the respective loaders 111 and 112 according to the results of the vision inspection through the vision inspection unit 130.
[32] In other words, the sorting device 170 transfers semiconductor device determined to be defective as a result of the vision inspection to the reject trays 160 and distributes the semiconductor device determined to be defective to the reject trays 160. Also, the sorting device 170 transfers semiconductor device determined to be good as a result of the vision inspection to the trays 300 withdrawn from the respective loaders 111 and 112 and distributes the semiconductor device determined to be good to the trays 300.
[33] In the system for vision insfection of semiconductor device according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, the good semiconductor device are sorted and distributed to the corresponding trays withdrawn before the vision inspection. Consequently, the respectiveloaders also serve as unloaders as well as loaders.
[34] More specifically, one of the trays is withdrawn from the first loader 111 and transferred to the rear of the first transfer rail 121.
[35] Semiconductor device received in the withdrawn tray are transferred by the first transfer picker 131 such that the vision inspection of the semiconductor device can be carried out.
[36] Subsequently, one of the trays is withdrawn from the second loader 112 and transferred to the rear of the second transfer rail 122. At this time, the tray is on standby.
[37] When the vision inspection of the semiconductor device received in the tray located on the first transfer rail 121is completed, the semiconductor device are put back on the corresponding tray, and the tray is transferred forward. Subsequently, the semiconductor device received in the tray located on the second transfer rail 122 are transferred by the second transfer picker 132 such that the vision inspection of the semiconductor device can be carried out.
[38] At this time, the semiconductor device determined to be defective, among the semi-
conductor device of which the vision inspection is completed, are distributed to the corresponding reject tray 160 by using the sorting device 170, and the semiconductor device determined to be good are inserted into the first loader 111 in a state in which the good semiconductor device are received in the corresponding tray.
[39] Subsequently, another tray having semiconductor device of which the vision inspection is to be carried out received therein is withdrawn from the first loader 111 and transferred to the rear of the system body along the first transfer rail 121. At this time, the withdrawn tray is on standby.
[40] When the vision inspection of the semiconductor device received in the tray located on the second transfer rail 122 is completed, the tray is transferred forward. Subsequently, the vision inspection of the semiconductor device received in the tray locate d on the first transfer rail 121 is carried out.
[41] At this time, the semiconductor device determined to be defective, among the semiconductor device received in the tray located on the second transfer rail 122, are distributed to the corresponding reject tray 160, and the semiconductor device determined to be good are inserted into the second loader 112 in a state in which the good semiconductor device are received in the corresponding tray.
[42] Subsequently, the defective semiconductor device, among the semiconductor device, of which the vision inspection has been carried out, received in the tray located on the first transfer rail, are distributed to the corresponding reject tray 160, and another tray is withdrawn from the first loader 111 such that the empty spaces of the visually inspected tray are filled with good semiconductor device received in the withdrawn tray.
[43] Subsequently, a series of transferring, sorting, and inspecting processes are repeatedly carried out, and when the visually inspected trays have empty spaces created by the removal of defective semiconductor device, the empty spaces of the visually inspected trays are filled with good semiconductor device received in the trays stacked in the corresponding loaders. Consequently, the trays in the same loader serve as loading trays, unloading trays, and buffer trays.
[44] In the system for vision insfection of semiconductor device according to one aspect of the present invention, as described above, the respective loaders mounted at the opposite sides of the system body receive not only trays in which semiconductor device to be inspected are received but also trays in which semiconductor device determined to be good are received. Consequently, the size of the vision inspection system according to the present invention is greatly reduced as compared with a conve ntional vision inspection system including individual loaders and unloaders. Also, the vision inspection process is continuously carried out, and therefore, the inspection speed is increased.
[45] In the system for vision insfection of semiconductor device according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, the good semiconductor device may be sorted and distributed to the loader opposite to the loader from which the trays are withdrawn before the vision inspection. Consequently, the respective loaders may serve as unloaders with respect to the opposite loaders.
[46] More specifically, one of the trays is withdrawn from the first loader 111 and transferred to the rear of the first transfer rail 121. Semiconductor device received in the withdrawn tray are transferred by the first transfer picker 131 such that the vision inspection of the semiconductor device can be carried out.
[47] Subsequently, one of the trays is withdrawn from the second loader 112 and transferred to the rear of the second transfer rail 122. At this time, the withdrawn tray is on standby.
[48] When the vision inspection of the semiconductor device received in the tray located on the first transfer rail 121 is completed, the semiconductor device are put back on the corresponding tray, and the tray is transferred forward. Subsequently, the semiconductor device received in the tray located on the second transfer rail 122 are transferred by the second transfer picker 132 such that the vision inspection of the semiconductor device can be carried out.
[49] At this time, the semiconductor device determined to be defective, among the semiconductor device of which the vision inspection is completed, are distributed to the corresponding reject tray 160 by using the sorting device 170, and the tray, of which the semiconductor device have been transferred by the second transfer picker 132, located on the second transfer rail 122, is transferred forward such that the semiconductor device determined to be good are distributed to the transferred tray.
[50] The tray having the sorted and distributed semiconductor device received therein is inserted into the first loader 111, and another tray having semiconductor device of which the vision inspection is to be carried out received therein is withdrawn from the first loader 111.
[51] Subsequently, the tray withdrawn from the first loader 111 is transferred to the rear of the system body along the first transfer rail 121. At this time, the withdrawn tray is on standby.
[52] When the vision inspection of the semiconductor device received in the tray located on the second transfer rail 122 is completed, the vision inspection of the semiconductor device received in the tray located on the first transfer rail 121 is commenced.
[53] Subsequently, the tray located on the second transfer rail 122 is transferred forward.
The defective semiconductor device are distributed to the corresponding reject tray 160, and the good semiconductor device are distributed to a tray withdrawn from the first loader 111.
[54] Subsequently, a series of transferring, inspecting, and sorting processes are repeatedly carried out.
[55] In the system for vision insfection of semiconductor device according to another aspect of the present invention, as described above, the respective loaders mounted at the opposite sides of the system body receives not only trays in which semiconductor device to be inspected are received but also trays in which semiconductor device determined to be good are received. Also, the respective loaders serve as unloaders with respect to opposite loaders. Consequently, the size of the vision inspection system according to the present invention is greatly reduced as compared with a conventional vision inspection system including individual loaders and unloaders. Also, the vision inspection process is continuously carried out, and therefore, the inspection speed is increased.
[56] Furthermore, in the preferred embodiments of the prevent invention, it is possible to fill the empty spaces of the visually inspected tray, created by the removal of the defective semiconductor device, with good semiconductor device supplied from the tray stacked in the same loader, without the provision of buffer trays for filling the empty spaces of the visually inspected tray with good semiconductor device. Consequently, it is not necessary to provide additional buffer regions, and therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of equipment and sort semiconductor device without reducing the inspection speed.
