Abstract: A motorized chuck stage controlling method adapted to a wafer probing device is provided. The wafer probing device includes a control rod and a motorized chuck stage. The control rod can be moved between an upper limit position and a lower limit position, and the motorized chuck stage is moved along a Z-axis direction in response to a movement of the control rod. One purpose of the motorized chuck stage controlling method is to allow the operator to define the highest position to which the motorized chuck stage can be moved in response to the movement of the control rod, thereby preventing the probe and the wafer from colliding with each other.

Abstract: The semiconductor inspecting method includes following steps. First, a first position of a probe needle from above is defined by adopting a vision system of a semiconductor inspecting system. Then, a first relative vertical movement between the probe needle and the pad is made by adopting a driving system of the semiconductor inspecting system. Thereafter, a minimum change in position of the probe needle corresponding to the first position is recognized by adopting the vision system of the semiconductor inspecting system. Next, the first relative vertical movement is stopped by adopting the driving system of the semiconductor inspecting system.

Abstract: A semiconductor inspecting method for ensuring a scrubbing length on a pad includes following steps. First off, a first position of a probe needle from above is defined. In addition, a wafer comprising at least a pad is placed on a wafer chuck of a semiconductor inspecting system. Thereafter, a relative vertical movement between the probe needle and the pad is made by adopting a driving system of the semiconductor inspecting system to generate a scrubbing length on the pad. Next, whether the scrubbing length is equal to or larger than a preset value or not is recognized by adopting the vision system and the relative vertical movement is stopped by adopting the driving system.

Abstract: A probe station includes a base, a adaptor, a probe holder and a probe. The adaptor has a first portion and a second portion away from the first portion towards a first direction by a first length. The first portion connects to the base. A probe holder connects to the second portion and extends towards a second direction opposite to the first direction by a second length. The probe connects to an end of the probe holder away from the second portion and extends towards the second direction by a third length. A product of a thermal coefficient of the adaptor and the first length is equal to a sum of a product of a thermal coefficient of the probe holder and the second length and a product of a thermal coefficient of the probe and the third length.

Abstract: An optical path correction subassembly, an optical detection assembly, and an optical detection system are provided. The optical path correction subassembly can be optionally configured to be applied to a light detector. The optical path correction subassembly includes a holder structure and an optical path correction structure carried by the holder structure, and the optical path correction structure has a light beam guiding surface arranged as a reverse inclination inclined relative to a vertical line. The light beam guiding surface of the optical path correction structure can be configured to effectively or accurately guide a predetermined light beam to a light receiving surface of the light detector so as to facilitate collection of the predetermined light beam. The light beam guiding surface of the optical path correction structure can be arranged at an acute angle relative to the light receiving surface of the light detector.
