For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0049] Figure 1Schematic diagram of the structure of a laser profile detection device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The laser profile detection device provided in this embodiment is used to detect the two-dimensional profile distribution of the laser beam output by the beam generating module 1. The laser profile detection device includes a rectangular aperture module 10, an energy detector 20, a moving module 30 and a processing module 40; the rectangular aperture module 10 is arranged at the light output end of the beam generating module 1, and the rectangular aperture module 10 includes a rectangular light-through hole 101; the energy detector 20 is arranged on the light-outlet side of the rectangular light-through hole 101, and is used to detect the light intensity of the light transmitted by the rectangular light-through hole 101; the moving module 30 is connected to the beam generating module 1 and / or the rectangular aperture module 10, and is used to drive the beam generating module 1 and / or the rectangular aperture module 10 to move, so that the rectangular light-through hole 101 sequentially passes light at each position of the laser beam ( Figure 1 The illustration that the moving module 30 is connected to both the beam generating module 1 and the rectangular hole module 10, driving the beam generating module 1 to move in the x-direction and the rectangular hole module 10 to move in the y-direction is merely illustrative and does not limit the embodiments of the present invention. In other embodiments, the moving module 30 may be connected to only one module, driving the module to move in two directions); the processing module 40 is electrically connected to the energy detector 20, and is used to derive a two-dimensional profile distribution of the laser beam based on the signal received by the energy detector 20.

[0050] Among them, the beam generating module 1 can be used in various types of equipment using high-energy lasers in the semiconductor field, such as laser annealing equipment, etc. For example, since high-energy laser equipment generally uses infrared lasers, the laser beam output by the beam generating module 1 is optionally an infrared beam. In other embodiments, the laser beam output by the beam generating module 1 can be a beam of other wavelengths, and only a matching energy detector 20 needs to be provided. The rectangular aperture module 10 is provided with a rectangular light-through hole 101. Compared with the prior art in which a light-transmitting slit is required, the processing difficulty can be reduced. By controlling the relative movement of the beam generating module 1 and the rectangular aperture module 10 in two degrees of freedom (x direction and y direction), the rectangular light-through hole 101 can perform a two-dimensional traversal scanning of the laser beam to be measured, so that the light intensity of each point corresponding to the x coordinate and the y coordinate can be measured. By integrating all the data, the two-dimensional profile distribution of the light spot can be obtained, and its repeatability can reach the micron or even nanometer level, with high detection accuracy. The light at each sampling position passes through the rectangular light hole 101 and is received by the energy detector 20. Depending on the energy and wavelength of the light beam to be measured, the energy detector 20 may optionally include a photoelectric detector or a pyroelectric detector, which can be selected according to actual conditions during implementation. After the moving module 30 drives the light beam generating module 1 and / or the rectangular hole module 10 to move to achieve a two-dimensional traversal of the laser beam and the rectangular light hole 101, the energy of each sampling position point can be obtained through data processing, and after splicing, the two-dimensional profile distribution of the light spot to be measured can be obtained. Figure 1The area of ​​the rectangular light hole 101 shown in the figure is smaller than the spot area of ​​the laser beam for schematic purposes only. In a specific implementation, the area of ​​the rectangular light hole 101 may be smaller than, equal to, or larger than the spot area of ​​the laser beam. In a certain embodiment, optionally, the area of ​​the rectangular light hole 101 is larger than the spot area of ​​the laser beam. A rectangular light hole 101 with a larger area is easier to manufacture, which can avoid preparing a slit with a very small width, thereby reducing the process difficulty and reducing the cost of the laser profile detection device.

[0051] The technical solution of this embodiment is to set a rectangular light-through hole on the rectangular hole module so that the rectangular light-through hole transmits at least a part of the light beam; detect the light intensity of the light transmitted by the rectangular light-through hole by the detection module; drive the beam generating module and / or the rectangular hole module to move by the moving module, so that the beam generating module and the rectangular hole module move relative to each other, so as to realize the scanning of the entire light spot by the rectangular light-through hole, so that the rectangular light-through hole transmits the light at each position of the laser beam in turn; process the signal received by the energy detector by the processing module to obtain the two-dimensional profile distribution of the laser beam, so as to realize the measurement of the light spot profile that is compatible with large size, mid-to-far infrared, and large aspect ratio.

[0052] On the basis of the above technical solutions, optional, continue to refer to Figure 1 The rectangular aperture module 10 includes a light shielding plate 102, and the rectangular light hole 101 is located at the center of the light shielding plate 102; the moving module 30 is used to drive the light beam generating module 1 and / or the rectangular aperture module 10 to sequentially translate along the first direction x by a first distance s1, or to drive the light beam generating module 1 and / or the rectangular aperture module 10 to sequentially translate along the second direction y by a second distance s2 ( Figure 1 the first direction x and the second direction y are perpendicular to each other, and both the first direction x and the second direction y are parallel to the plane where the light shielding plate 102 is located.

[0053] It is understandable that Figure 1In the embodiment, the moving module 30 drives the light beam generating module 1 to move along the first direction x and drives the rectangular aperture module 10 to move along the second direction y, wherein each time the light beam generating module 1 moves a distance s1 in the first direction x, the rectangular aperture module 10 moves a distance s2 in the second direction y, i.e., s1 and s2 represent the relative movement distances of the rectangular light hole 101 and the light spot during each movement. For example, when the light beam generating module 1 and the rectangular aperture module 10 move simultaneously along the first direction x, one can be set to move s1 / 2 in the positive x direction and the other to move s1 / 2 in the negative x direction, rather than each component moving a distance s1. By setting the light beam generating module 1 and the rectangular aperture module 10 to move relative to each other in the first direction x and the second direction y, a two-dimensional traversal of the light spot by the rectangular light hole 101 is achieved. In specific implementation, the moving module 30 can only drive the light beam generating module 1 to move, or only drive the rectangular aperture module 10 to move, or can drive both the light beam generating module 1 and the rectangular aperture module 10 to move. The specific implementation can be designed according to actual conditions. In other embodiments, the mobile module can also drive the energy detector 20 to move when necessary, so as to avoid using a large-area detector and reduce costs.

[0054] Optional, s1≠s2.

[0055] It can be understood that in a specific implementation, the displacements of the two degrees of freedom do not interfere with each other, so the motion resolutions in the two directions can be the same or different. In a certain embodiment, the spot shape of the laser beam can be a long strip, and s1≠s2 can be set at this time to ensure the measurement accuracy in both directions.

[0056] Optionally, the long side of the rectangular light hole is parallel to the first direction, and the length of the long side of the rectangular light hole is l1, l1 = n × s1; when the relative movement direction of the beam generating module and the rectangular hole module is along the first direction, and the overlapping length of the long side of the rectangular light hole and the laser beam is less than or equal to l1, the light intensity obtained by the energy detector during the kth movement is I_PD k , the light intensity obtained by the energy detector during the k+1th movement is I_PD k+1 , then the light intensity of the spot corresponding to the k+1th movement is I k+1 =I_PD k+1 -I_PD k When the overlap length of the long side of the rectangular aperture and the laser beam is greater than l1, the light intensity of the corresponding spot of the mth movement is I m =I_PD m -I_PD m-1 +I m-n+1; Or, the long side of the rectangular light hole is parallel to the second direction, and the length of the long side of the rectangular light hole is l2, l2 = n × s2; when the relative movement direction of the beam generating module and the rectangular hole module is along the second direction, and the overlapping length of the long side of the rectangular light hole and the laser beam is less than or equal to l2, the light intensity obtained by the energy detector during the kth movement is I_PD k , the light intensity obtained by the energy detector during the k+1th movement is I_PD k+1 , then the light intensity of the spot corresponding to the k+1th movement is I k+1 =I_PD k+1 -I_PD k When the overlap length of the long side of the rectangular aperture and the laser beam is greater than l2, the light intensity of the corresponding spot of the mth movement is I m =I_PD m -I_PD m-1 +I m-n+1 ; Wherein, n is an integer greater than 1, k is a positive integer, and m is an integer greater than n.

[0057] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 are schematic diagrams of a data processing algorithm in a spot sampling process provided by an embodiment of the present invention, and refer to Figure 2 , the long side of the rectangular light hole 101 is parallel to the first direction x, and the long side length of the rectangular light hole 101 is l1, l1 = n × s1 ( Figure 2 ( n = 4 is schematically shown in the figure, which is not a limitation of the embodiments of the present invention); when the relative movement direction of the beam generating module and the rectangular aperture module is along the first direction x, the overlapping length of the long side of the rectangular light hole 101 and the laser beam is less than or equal to l1, that is, when the rectangular light hole 101 does not completely enter the light spot, the light intensity obtained by the energy detector during the k-th movement is I_PD k , the light intensity obtained by the energy detector during the k+1th movement is I_PD k+1 , then the light intensity of the spot corresponding to the k+1th movement is I k+1 =I_PD k+1 -I_PD k ;refer to Figure 3 When the overlapping length of the long side of the rectangular light hole 101 and the laser beam is greater than l1, that is, when the rectangular light hole 101 completely enters the light spot, the energy before the mth movement I1~I m-1 are all known, and the light intensity of the light spot corresponding to the mth movement is I m =I_PD m -I_PD m-1 +I m-n+1 ; Figure 4 and Figure 5are schematic diagrams of another data processing algorithm in the spot sampling process provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 4 , the long side of the rectangular light hole 101 is parallel to the second direction y, and the long side length of the rectangular light hole 101 is l2, l2 = n × s2 ( Figure 4 ( n = 4 is schematically shown in the figure, which is not a limitation of the embodiments of the present invention); when the relative movement direction of the beam generating module and the rectangular aperture module is along the second direction y, the overlapping length of the long side of the rectangular light hole 101 and the laser beam is less than or equal to l2, that is, when the rectangular light hole 101 does not completely enter the light spot, the light intensity obtained by the energy detector during the k-th movement is I_PD k , the light intensity obtained by the energy detector during the k+1th movement is I_PD k+1 , then the light intensity of the spot corresponding to the k+1th movement is I k+1 =I_PD k+1 -I_PD k ;refer to Figure 5 When the overlapping length of the long side of the rectangular light hole 101 and the laser beam is greater than l2, that is, when the rectangular light hole 101 completely enters the light spot, the energy I1~I before the mth movement m-1 are all known, and the light intensity of the light spot corresponding to the mth movement is I m =I_PD m -I_PD m-1 +I m-n+1 ; Wherein, n is an integer greater than 1, k is a positive integer, and m is an integer greater than n.

[0058] In another embodiment, the relative movement direction of the beam generating module and the rectangular aperture module can be parallel to the short side of the rectangular light-through hole. For simplicity, the distance of each movement can be equal to the distance of the short side. Figure 6 and Figure 7 are schematic diagrams of another data processing algorithm in the spot sampling process provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 6 Optionally, the short side of the rectangular light hole 101 is parallel to the first direction x, and the length of the short side of the rectangular light hole 101 is s1; when the relative movement direction of the beam generating module and the rectangular aperture module is along the first direction, the rectangular light hole 101 becomes a slit, and the energy received by the detector at a single sampling position can represent the energy at that position. The light intensity obtained by the energy detector during the kth movement is I k =I_PD k ; or, refer to Figure 7 , the short side of the rectangular light hole 101 is parallel to the second direction, and the length of the short side of the rectangular light hole 101 is s2; when the relative movement direction of the beam generating module and the rectangular hole module is along the second direction, the light intensity obtained by the energy detector during the kth movement is I k =I_PD k; where k is a positive integer.

[0059] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a light spot sampling and splicing restoration simulation result provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the sampling interval Δx is 37.5 μm. Figure 8 It can be seen that only the high-frequency signal is lost in the restored profile, and the size and position restoration accuracy is very high. The actual long side full width at half maximum FWHM of the light spot is 11.141 mm, and the short side FWHM is 75 μm. After restoration, the long side FWHM of the light spot is 11.175 mm, and the short side FWHM is 75 μm.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the light beam generating module and the rectangular aperture module are scanned in a step-by-step manner, and the spatial sampling resolution thereof is determined by the moving step length. In another embodiment, it can also be determined by the moving speed and the sampling frequency.
