Patent number: 7383156Abstract: It is possible to inspect scratches and staining on a wafer surface on the basis of an LPD map obtained from a particle counter 11, by providing a means 21 for detecting aggregation of clustered point defects (LPD) from two-dimensional distribution information 30 for such fine LPD on the surface of a silicon wafer, and an improvement in the inspection efficiency and the precision of judgements of “defective” status can be achieved. Furthermore, the system is devised so that the trend of generation of scratches and staining in a specified process can easily be detected by accumulating wafer surface information such as scratch information, staining information and the like for the wafer surface detected by a wafer surface inspection device 11 (especially as image information or numerical information), and superposing sets of information thus accumulated. Plans for improving processes can be made by both the wafer supplier and wafer consumer by sharing such information with both parties.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2001Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Sumco Techxiv Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kouzou Matsusita, Yukinori Matsumura, Tomikazu Tanuki, Mitsuo Terada, Kotaro Hori, Kiyoharu Miyakawa, Akira Nisi, Hirobumi Miwa

Patent number: 6248973Abstract: In a laser marking method for making a dot mark on a semiconductor wafer by using laser beam, molten splashes which arise at the laser marking are prevented from adhering to a surface of the wafer and a shape of the dot mark is kept in a stable posture with its visibility being ensured even after the marking made throughout various and multistage steps in a manufacturing process by the semiconductor apparatus. The method comprises forming a transparent thin film on at least a dot mark-formation area of a semiconductor wafer body of the wafer; irradiating the dot mark-formation area with laser beam having a wavelength selected in advance, on the transparent thin film; melting and deforming the wafer body by the laser beam transmitting the transparent thin film to form a dot mark; and by utilizing the heat generated when the wafer body is melted, deforming the transparent thin film, along with the deformation of the dot mark, into the same shape as the dot mark without a breakdown of the transparent thin films.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1999Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Assignee: Komatsu LimitedInventors: Yukinori Matsumura, Yukihiko Sugimoto, Kotaro Hori
