SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER TEST SYSTEM BY FEEDBACK CONTROL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18232056 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER TEST SYSTEM BY FEEDBACK CONTROL

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a wafer test system that includes two heat source units with different refrigerants and temperature ranges, a wafer chuck with a heating member and channel for refrigerant circulation, supply lines for each heat source unit to supply refrigerant to the channel, and a controller to control the supply of refrigerant based on a target temperature for testing the wafer.

  • The system includes two heat source units with different refrigerants and temperature ranges.
  • The wafer chuck has a heating member and channel for refrigerant circulation.
  • Supply lines connect each heat source unit to the channel to supply refrigerant.
  • A controller is used to selectively control the supply of refrigerant based on a target temperature for testing the wafer.
      1. Potential Applications
  • Semiconductor wafer testing
  • Quality control in semiconductor manufacturing
      1. Problems Solved
  • Ensures precise temperature control during wafer testing
  • Allows for testing under different temperature conditions
      1. Benefits
  • Improved accuracy and reliability in wafer testing
  • Enhanced quality control in semiconductor manufacturing operations


Original Abstract Submitted

A wafer test system includes: a first heat source unit including a first refrigerant having a first temperature range; a second heat source unit including a second refrigerant having a second temperature range; a wafer chuck to support a wafer, which: a heating member to heat the wafer, and a channel to circulate the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant; a first supply line connected to the first heat source unit, the first supply line to circulate and supply the first refrigerant to the channel; a second supply line connected to the second heat source unit, the second supply line to circulate and supply the second refrigerant to the channel; and a controller to selectively control supply of the first refrigerant and the second refrigerant based on a target temperature for testing the wafer on the wafer chuck.
