請參閱第1圖至第4圖所示,其中第4圖係繪示第2圖第二實施例的影像畫面中待測點P的示意圖。第一定位步驟S02包含驅動控制器110控制承載裝置120移動,以使晶 圓的複數晶粒中的一初始定位點D進入影像擷取裝置130的影像畫面,以儲存承載裝置120對應的一初始定位點位置。其中,初始定位點D位於晶圓的一切割道L的一側。第二定位步驟S03包含驅動控制器110使影像畫面對準鄰近初始定位點D的待測點P(如第4圖所示),以儲存承載裝置120對應的一相對位置及待測點P對應的一測試位置。其中,待測點P為使用者所預設的欲進行量測的點,待測點P可位於晶粒上或是晶粒之間的平坦處。 Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 4, wherein FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a point P to be tested in the image frame of the second embodiment of FIG. 2. The first positioning step S02 includes the drive controller 110 controlling the carrier 120 to move so that an initial positioning point D among the plurality of dies of the wafer enters the image frame of the image capture device 130 to store an initial positioning point position corresponding to the carrier 120. The initial positioning point D is located on one side of a scribe line L of the wafer. The second positioning step S03 includes the drive controller 110 aligning the image frame with the point P to be tested adjacent to the initial positioning point D (as shown in FIG. 4) to store a relative position corresponding to the carrier 120 and a test position corresponding to the point P to be tested. The test point P is the point preset by the user for measurement. The test point P can be located on the die or on a flat surface between the die.

藉此,透過第一定位步驟S02先紀錄初始定位點位置,而後透過第二定位步驟S03紀錄相對位置的方式,能夠對待測點P進行二次定位,而增加承載裝置120定位的精度,使後續下針位置更準確,進而確保後續量測的準確性。此外,控制器110可透過上述方式記錄複數個待測點P及各待測點P所對應的測試位置,在後續量測上自動讀取各待測點P的測試位置,以自動進行晶圓測試。 Thus, by first recording the initial positioning point position through the first positioning step S02 and then recording the relative position through the second positioning step S03, the test point P can be positioned twice, thereby increasing the positioning accuracy of the carrier 120, making the subsequent needle position more accurate, and thus ensuring the accuracy of subsequent measurements. In addition, the controller 110 can record multiple test points P and the test positions corresponding to each test point P through the above method, and automatically read the test position of each test point P in the subsequent measurement to automatically perform wafer testing.

下針位置移動步驟S04包含驅動控制器110控制承載裝置120移動至相對位置,並驅動控制器110控制探針140水平移動,而對應至測試位置。下針步驟S05包含驅動控制器110控制探針140垂直向下移動以接觸待測點P,以產生一測試迴路。 The needle position moving step S04 includes the drive controller 110 controlling the carrier 120 to move to a relative position, and the drive controller 110 controlling the probe 140 to move horizontally, corresponding to the test position. The needle moving step S05 includes the drive controller 110 controlling the probe 140 to move vertically downward to contact the test point P to generate a test loop.

請參閱第4圖及第5圖所示,其中第5圖係繪示第2圖第二實施例的影像畫面中阻抗量測的示意圖。量測步驟S06包含驅動控制器110透過測試迴路對待測點P進行量測以產生一量測值。如第4圖所示,量測晶圓的漏電流時, 待測點P的數量為一個,探針140的數量為二支。如第5圖所示,量測晶圓的阻抗時,採用二線式的方式判斷接觸阻抗,待測點P的數量為三個,待測點P皆位於晶粒上,探針140的數量為四支。 Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, wherein FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of impedance measurement in the image frame of the second embodiment of FIG. 2. The measurement step S06 includes the drive controller 110 measuring the test point P through the test loop to generate a measurement value. As shown in FIG. 4, when measuring the leakage current of the wafer, the number of the test point P is one, and the number of the probes 140 is two. As shown in FIG. 5, when measuring the impedance of the wafer, a two-wire method is used to determine the contact impedance, the number of the test points P is three, the test points P are all located on the die, and the number of the probes 140 is four.

判斷步驟S07包含驅動控制器110判斷量測值是否位於一規格範圍內以產生一判斷結果。抬升步驟S08包含驅動控制器110控制承載裝置120垂直向上移動一抬升距離,抬升距離介於1微米至20微米之間。輸出步驟S09包含驅動控制器110輸出量測值。 The judgment step S07 includes the drive controller 110 judging whether the measurement value is within a specification range to generate a judgment result. The lifting step S08 includes the drive controller 110 controlling the carrier 120 to move vertically upward by a lifting distance, and the lifting distance is between 1 micron and 20 microns. The output step S09 includes the drive controller 110 outputting the measurement value.

詳細而言,當判斷結果為是時,表示量測值符合規格,控制器110執行輸出步驟S09以輸出量測值;當判斷結果為否時,則表示量測值不符合規格,而為了確保此結果並非探針140與待測點P之間接觸不良所造成,控制器110執行抬升步驟S08將承載裝置120垂直向上移動而使晶圓進一步靠近探針140,而後再次執行量測步驟S06。需特別說明的是,抬升步驟S08的重複次數若超出預設的臨界次數,將判定為量測失敗而結束晶圓量測。 In detail, when the judgment result is yes, it means that the measured value meets the specification, and the controller 110 executes the output step S09 to output the measured value; when the judgment result is no, it means that the measured value does not meet the specification, and in order to ensure that this result is not caused by poor contact between the probe 140 and the test point P, the controller 110 executes the lifting step S08 to move the carrier 120 vertically upward to make the wafer closer to the probe 140, and then executes the measurement step S06 again. It should be particularly noted that if the number of repetitions of the lifting step S08 exceeds the preset critical number of times, it will be determined as a measurement failure and the wafer measurement will be terminated.

請參閱第1圖及第6圖所示,第6圖係繪示本發明的第三實施例的晶圓量測方法300的流程示意圖。於第三實施例中,晶圓量測方法300亦包含第2圖第二實施例的晶圓角度校正步驟S01、第一定位步驟S02、第二定位步驟S03、下針位置移動步驟S04、下針步驟S05、量測步驟S06、判斷步驟S07、抬升步驟S08及輸出步驟S09,而第三實施例與第二實施例的差異在於晶圓量測方法300更包 含一接觸確認步驟S10及一警示步驟S11。 Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the process of the wafer measurement method 300 of the third embodiment of the present invention. In the third embodiment, the wafer measurement method 300 also includes the wafer angle correction step S01, the first positioning step S02, the second positioning step S03, the lower needle position movement step S04, the lower needle step S05, the measurement step S06, the judgment step S07, the lifting step S08 and the output step S09 of the second embodiment of FIG. 2. The difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment is that the wafer measurement method 300 further includes a contact confirmation step S10 and a warning step S11.

於第三實施例中,晶圓量測方法300主要應用於量測晶圓的漏電流,但本揭示內容不以此為限。需特別說明的是,由於晶圓符合規格的漏電流數值,與探針140未接觸到待測點P所測得的漏電流數值非常相近,因此,為了進一步確保所量測漏電流數值為正確的,需透過接觸確認步驟S10進行確認。 In the third embodiment, the wafer measurement method 300 is mainly used to measure the leakage current of the wafer, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. It should be particularly noted that since the leakage current value of the wafer that meets the specifications is very close to the leakage current value measured when the probe 140 does not contact the test point P, in order to further ensure that the measured leakage current value is correct, it is necessary to confirm it through the contact confirmation step S10.

量測晶圓的漏電流時,待測點P的數量為一個,探針140的數量為二支,接觸確認步驟S10包含驅動控制器110控制其中一探針140垂直上升遠離待測點P後,再次垂直下降靠近待測點P,並驅動控制器110控制影像擷取裝置130擷取影像畫面而產生一接觸影像,並驅動控制器110比對接觸影像與一初始影像,而確認晶圓是否位移而產生一確認結果,並依據確認結果確認探針140是否接觸待測點P。初始影像為控制器110控制探針140垂直向下移動之前,驅動控制器110控制影像擷取裝置130擷取影像畫面而產生的影像。警示步驟S11包含驅動控制器110發出一警示通知。 When measuring the leakage current of the wafer, there is one point P to be tested and two probes 140. The contact confirmation step S10 includes driving the controller 110 to control one of the probes 140 to vertically rise away from the point P to be tested and then vertically descend again to approach the point P to be tested, and driving the controller 110 to control the image capture device 130 to capture an image frame to generate a contact image, and driving the controller 110 to compare the contact image with an initial image to confirm whether the wafer is displaced to generate a confirmation result, and confirm whether the probe 140 contacts the point P to be tested based on the confirmation result. The initial image is an image generated by driving the controller 110 to control the image capture device 130 to capture an image frame before the controller 110 controls the probe 140 to move vertically downward. The warning step S11 includes driving the controller 110 to issue a warning notification.

詳細而言,當確認結果為是時,表示探針140有確實接觸到待測點P,控制器110可接續執行量測步驟S06;當確認結果為否時,表示探針140未接觸到待測點P,控制器110執行警示步驟S11以發出警示通知。藉此,透過接觸確認步驟S10,能夠在晶圓漏電流的量測上增加量測的準確性。 In detail, when the confirmation result is yes, it means that the probe 140 has indeed contacted the test point P, and the controller 110 can continue to execute the measurement step S06; when the confirmation result is no, it means that the probe 140 has not contacted the test point P, and the controller 110 executes the warning step S11 to issue a warning notification. In this way, through the contact confirmation step S10, the measurement accuracy of the wafer leakage current can be increased.

請參閱第1圖及第7圖所示,第7圖係繪示本發明的第四實施例的晶圓量測方法400的流程示意圖。於第四實施例中,晶圓量測方法400亦包含第2圖第二實施例的晶圓角度校正步驟S01、第一定位步驟S02、第二定位步驟S03、下針位置移動步驟S04、下針步驟S05、量測步驟S06、判斷步驟S07、抬升步驟S08及輸出步驟S09,而第四實施例與第二實施例的差異在於晶圓量測方法400之下針步驟S05更包含一第一下針步驟S051、一第一補償步驟S052、一第二下針步驟S053及一第二補償步驟S054。 Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 7 , wherein FIG. 7 is a schematic flow chart showing a wafer measurement method 400 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, the wafer measurement method 400 also includes the wafer angle correction step S01, the first positioning step S02, the second positioning step S03, the needle position movement step S04, the needle step S05, the measurement step S06, the judgment step S07, the lifting step S08 and the output step S09 of the second embodiment of FIG. 2, and the difference between the fourth embodiment and the second embodiment is that the needle step S05 of the wafer measurement method 400 further includes a first needle step S051, a first compensation step S052, a second needle step S053 and a second compensation step S054.

於第四實施例中,晶圓量測方法400主要應用於晶粒直徑小於50微米的晶圓的阻抗量測,而以二線式的方式進行量測。需特別說明的是,在量測晶粒直徑小於50微米的晶圓時,探針140的針尖露出長度需介於一定範圍,以避免針尖與空氣接觸面積過大而影響電性量測。於第四實施例中,晶粒直徑為18微米;探針140的針尖露出長度介於8毫米至10毫米之間,但本揭示內容不以此為限。 In the fourth embodiment, the wafer measurement method 400 is mainly used for impedance measurement of wafers with a grain diameter less than 50 microns, and the measurement is performed in a two-wire manner. It should be particularly noted that when measuring wafers with a grain diameter less than 50 microns, the exposed length of the probe tip 140 must be within a certain range to avoid the contact area between the probe tip and the air being too large and affecting the electrical measurement. In the fourth embodiment, the grain diameter is 18 microns; the exposed length of the probe tip 140 is between 8 mm and 10 mm, but the content of this disclosure is not limited to this.

量測晶圓的阻抗時,待測點P的數量為四個,待測點P皆位於晶粒上,探針140的數量為四支。第一下針步驟S051包含驅動控制器110控制探針140的其中二者垂直向下移動以接觸待測點P的其中二者,並驅動控制器110確認是否可取得一第一補償量測值而產生一第一補償結果。第一補償步驟S052包含驅動控制器110產生一第一補償距離,並依據第一補償距離而重複執行第一下針步驟S051。第一補償距離為探針140的其中二者移動的Z軸數值。第二 下針步驟S053包含驅動控制器110控制探針140的另二者垂直向下移動以接觸待測點P的另二者,而產生測試迴路,並驅動控制器110確認是否可取得一第二補償量測值而產生一第二補償結果。第二補償步驟S054包含驅動控制器110產生一第二補償距離,並依據第二補償距離而重複執行第二下針步驟S053。第二補償距離為探針140的另二者移動的Z軸數值。 When measuring the impedance of the wafer, there are four points P to be tested, all of which are located on the die, and there are four probes 140. The first probe lowering step S051 includes driving the controller 110 to control two of the probes 140 to move vertically downward to contact two of the points P to be tested, and driving the controller 110 to confirm whether a first compensation measurement value can be obtained to generate a first compensation result. The first compensation step S052 includes driving the controller 110 to generate a first compensation distance, and repeatedly executing the first probe lowering step S051 according to the first compensation distance. The first compensation distance is the Z-axis value of the movement of two of the probes 140. The second needle lowering step S053 includes driving the controller 110 to control the other two probes 140 to move vertically downward to contact the other two of the test point P, thereby generating a test loop, and driving the controller 110 to confirm whether a second compensation measurement value can be obtained to generate a second compensation result. The second compensation step S054 includes driving the controller 110 to generate a second compensation distance, and repeatedly executing the second needle lowering step S053 according to the second compensation distance. The second compensation distance is the Z-axis value of the movement of the other two probes 140.

詳細而言,當第一補償結果為否時,驅動控制器110重複執行第一補償步驟S052;當第一補償結果為是時,驅動控制器110接續執行第二下針步驟S053;當第二補償結果為否時,驅動控制器110重複執行第二補償步驟S054;當第二補償結果為是時,驅動控制器110執行後續量測步驟S06。藉此,透過第一下針步驟S051及第二下針步驟S053分二次下針的方式,更可確保尺寸極小的晶粒在量測上的精準度。 Specifically, when the first compensation result is no, the drive controller 110 repeatedly executes the first compensation step S052; when the first compensation result is yes, the drive controller 110 continuously executes the second needle step S053; when the second compensation result is no, the drive controller 110 repeatedly executes the second compensation step S054; when the second compensation result is yes, the drive controller 110 executes the subsequent measurement step S06. Thus, by performing the first needle step S051 and the second needle step S053 twice, the accuracy of the measurement of extremely small grains can be ensured.

請參閱第8圖及第9圖所示,其中第8圖係繪示本發明的第五實施例的晶圓量測系統500的方塊示意圖;及第9圖係繪示本發明的第六實施例的晶圓量測方法600的流程示意圖。晶圓量測系統500經配置以實施晶圓量測方法600,必須說明的是,本揭示內容的晶圓量測方法600不限於透過本揭示內容的晶圓量測系統500實施,晶圓量測系統500中的各元件可被任意整合成各種組合以執行晶圓量測方法600的功能。 Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, wherein FIG. 8 is a block diagram of the wafer measurement system 500 of the fifth embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 9 is a flow diagram of the wafer measurement method 600 of the sixth embodiment of the present invention. The wafer measurement system 500 is configured to implement the wafer measurement method 600. It must be noted that the wafer measurement method 600 of the present disclosure is not limited to being implemented by the wafer measurement system 500 of the present disclosure. The components in the wafer measurement system 500 can be arbitrarily integrated into various combinations to perform the functions of the wafer measurement method 600.

晶圓量測系統500亦包含第1圖第一實施例的控制 器110、承載裝置120、影像擷取裝置130及探針140。而第五實施例與第一實施例的差異在於晶圓量測系統500更包含一高度量測器150,控制器110耦接並控制高度量測器150,高度量測器150用以量測待測點P對應的一待測點高度。於第五實施例中,高度量測器150可為高精密度高度量測器,但本揭示內容不以此為限。 The wafer measurement system 500 also includes the controller 110, the carrier 120, the image capture device 130 and the probe 140 of the first embodiment of FIG. 1. The difference between the fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the wafer measurement system 500 further includes a height measuring device 150. The controller 110 is coupled to and controls the height measuring device 150. The height measuring device 150 is used to measure the height of a test point corresponding to the test point P. In the fifth embodiment, the height measuring device 150 can be a high-precision height measuring device, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

晶圓量測方法600亦包含第2圖第二實施例的晶圓角度校正步驟S01、第一定位步驟S02、第二定位步驟S03、下針位置移動步驟S04、下針步驟S05、量測步驟S06、判斷步驟S07、抬升步驟S08及輸出步驟S09。而第五實施例與第二實施例的差異在於晶圓量測方法600更包含一高度確認步驟SHC。高度確認步驟SHC執行於第一定位步驟S02及第二定位步驟S03之間,高度確認步驟SHC包含驅動控制器110控制承載裝置120移動至待測點P,並取得待測點P對應的一待測點高度。其中,待測點高度為控制器110控制影像擷取裝置130對待測點P進行自動對焦(Auto Focus)而取得,或控制器110控制高度量測器150對待測點P進行量測而取得,本揭示內容不以此為限。 The wafer measurement method 600 also includes the wafer angle correction step S01, the first positioning step S02, the second positioning step S03, the lower needle position movement step S04, the lower needle step S05, the measurement step S06, the judgment step S07, the lifting step S08 and the output step S09 of the second embodiment of FIG. 2. The difference between the fifth embodiment and the second embodiment is that the wafer measurement method 600 further includes a height confirmation step SHC. The height confirmation step SHC is executed between the first positioning step S02 and the second positioning step S03. The height confirmation step SHC includes the drive controller 110 controlling the carrier 120 to move to the test point P, and obtaining a test point height corresponding to the test point P. The height of the point to be measured is obtained by the controller 110 controlling the image capture device 130 to perform auto focus on the point to be measured P, or the controller 110 controls the height measuring device 150 to measure the point to be measured P. The content of this disclosure is not limited to this.

藉此,可透過待測點高度而確認每一待測點P的高度差異性,而可根據待測點高度微調後續下針步驟S05中探針140垂直向下移動的距離。 In this way, the height difference of each test point P can be confirmed through the height of the test point, and the vertical downward movement distance of the probe 140 in the subsequent needle lowering step S05 can be fine-tuned according to the height of the test point.

由上述實施方式可知,本發明具有下列優點:其一,能夠對待測點進行二次定位,而增加定位的精度,使後續下針位置更準確,進而確保後續量測的準確性,且在 後續量測上可自動讀取各待測點的測試位置,以自動進行晶圓測試,而節省時間及人力。其二,透過接觸確認步驟能夠在晶圓漏電流的量測上增加量測的準確性。其三,透過二次下針方式更可確保尺寸極小的晶粒在量測上的精準度。 From the above implementation method, it can be seen that the present invention has the following advantages: First, it can perform secondary positioning of the test point to increase the positioning accuracy, so that the subsequent needle placement position is more accurate, thereby ensuring the accuracy of subsequent measurement, and in the subsequent measurement, the test position of each test point can be automatically read to automatically perform wafer testing, thereby saving time and manpower. Second, through the contact confirmation step, the measurement accuracy of the wafer leakage current can be increased. Third, through the secondary needle placement method, the accuracy of the measurement of extremely small grains can be ensured.
