  • In-situ warpage measurement of 300mm wafer with speckle-free digital image correlation method

    Yuling Niu1, Seungbae Park1 , Hohyung Lee11Department of Mechanical Engineering, State University of New York at Binghamton

    Wafer Warpage: During the manufacturing process,

    wafer undergoes many microfabrication process steps,

    which would make wafer experience thermal cycles.In project plan, two sets of sensors are applied for different

    field of view.

    1. Conventional speckle method for wafer

    Overall warpage contours were the same, but for

    microelectronic devices built on the wafer tiny warpage

    difference may lead to big problems.

    2. Speckle-free DIC Method Limitation

    For in plane displacement measurement, the correlation

    algorithm is based on the tracking of the grey value

    pattern G(x, y) in small local neighborhood facets.

    The thermal chamber provides the temperature range from -

    73℃ to 315℃. High contrast ratio and resolution projectorgenerates patterns on the wafer (fig. 4).

    Speckle-free method can adjust pattern parameters easily

    and achieve optimized speckle patterns.

    Measurement Verification

    Before the wafer measurement starts, two verification tests

    were done to verify the speckle-free method.

    Warpage Test

    A plastic package (fig. 9) with convex surface is selected

    for profiling. The surface is measured by both speckle-free

    DIC and Wyko (nanometers of measurement sensitivity).

    Surface Treatment Effect

    For wafer level specimen, surface is flat and the surface

    treatment might influence the actual result. So an optical

    mirror was used to check the surface treatment effect.

    Once the speckle-free DIC method solidified, the actual

    300mm wafer was measured.
