Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of object-image plane parfocality, and in particular to a device for parfocality of object-image planes of a multi-lens group. Background Art

[0002] In the field of scanning large-format graphic lithography, in order to improve the plate-making capacity, there are generally two methods: one is to use a single lithography lens, and the field of view matches the field of view of the graphic to be produced; the other is to use a multi-lens group splicing method to match the field of view of the produced graphic. The former has a large working format, and the lens is required to be telecentric, which will cause the lens aperture and size to become large, which is not conducive to processing and assembly, and the cost will also rise sharply. The latter can use multiple lenses with small fields of view to match the working field of view side by side or staggered splicing. The difficulty lies in: for an overall object surface (mask surface), how to adjust each lens to have the same magnification (accurate to the fourth decimal place) under the same focal plane, so that the size of the lithography can be consistent. The utility model proposes a device for the object and image plane of a multi-lens group to be focused. Utility Model Content

Example

[0025] See attached Figures 1 to 5 A device for achieving parfocality of an object and image of a multi-lens group includes a multi-lens group. The multi-lens group includes a plurality of imaging lenses 1 arranged side by side. Each imaging lens 1 is mounted on an independent lens mounting plate 2. The lens mounting plate 2 is mounted on the output end of an up-and-down adjustment module 3. The up-and-down adjustment module 3 is used to adjust the height of the imaging lens 1. The last lens of the imaging lens 1 is a magnification adjustment lens 11. When the magnification adjustment lens 11 is adjusted upward, the magnification becomes smaller, and when it is adjusted downward, the magnification becomes larger. A workbench 4 that can move up and down is arranged below the multi-lens group, and a mask table 5 that can be translated is arranged above it. The position of the workbench 4 is determined by the focal plane value of an imaging lens 1. This imaging lens 1 is used as a reference lens, and the upper surface of the workbench 4 is a working surface 8. The object surface of the multi-lens group is an integral mask surface 7. The mask surface 7 is fixed on the mask table 5 and moves with the mask table 5. The mask table 5 is shared by the multi-lens group. A calibration camera 6 is arranged on the workbench 4. By calibrating the camera 6 , the internal parameters of the camera (such as focal length and principal point) can be determined. The size and position of the imaging lens 1 can be calculated through accurate parameters to improve the measurement accuracy.

[0026] The up-down adjustment module 3 includes a mounting frame 31, on which a screw rod 33 is rotatably mounted, the screw rod 33 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 32, a moving block 34 is threadedly mounted on the screw rod 33, a mounting plate 35 is arranged on the moving block 34, and the lens mounting fixing plate 2 is fixed on the mounting plate 35. The mounting plate 35 is "U"-shaped, and two parallel guide rails 36 are arranged on the mounting frame 31, and two slide grooves 37 are provided on the mounting plate 35, and the slide grooves 37 are slidably sleeved on the guide rails 36. The screw rod 33 is driven to rotate by the motor 32, and the moving block 34 is driven to move up and down along the screw rod 33 under the action of the thread, thereby driving the mounting plate 35 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the up and down position of the imaging lens 1. At the same time, the slide groove 37 and the guide rail 36 are used as a guiding mechanism to make the imaging lens 1 body move in the desired direction and prevent it from deviating from the predetermined path.

[0027] A method for achieving par-focus of an object and image plane of a multi-lens assembly comprises the following steps:

[0028] S1: measure the magnification and optimal focal plane value of N imaging lenses 1 respectively and record the data;

[0029] S2: Adjust the up and down position of the magnification adjustment lens 11 of the imaging lens 1, and first adjust the magnifications of N lenses to theoretical values;

[0030] S3: Based on the magnification and focal plane value of one of the imaging lenses 1, adjust the magnification and focal plane of the other N-1 imaging lenses 1;

[0031] S4: Compared with the reference, if the position of the working surface 8 is too high, the imaging lens 1 needs to be moved up. At this time, the magnification of the imaging lens 1 will become smaller. The upward movement value of the working surface 8 is the lowering value of the imaging lens 1 * the magnification^2. The magnification is adjusted to the theoretical value by adjusting the magnification adjustment lens 11 downward.

[0032] S5: Compared with the reference, if the position of the working surface 8 is too low, the imaging lens 1 needs to be moved down. At this time, the magnification of the imaging lens 1 will become larger. The lowering value of the working surface 8 position is the upward moving value of the imaging lens 1 * the magnification ^ 2. The magnification is adjusted to the theoretical value by adjusting the magnification adjustment lens 11 upward.

[0033] S6: repeat steps S4-S5 until the magnifications and focal plane values ​​of all lenses are adjusted to theoretical values;

[0034] S7: Perform final calibration on all lenses to ensure the accuracy of magnification and focal plane values;

[0035] S8: Test the imaging effect of each lens, make adjustments and corrections to achieve the best imaging quality;

[0036] S9: Record the calibration and adjustment results of each lens for subsequent reference and maintenance.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] The utility model adjusts the position of the imaging lens 1 by adjusting the module 3 up and down, and simultaneously adjusts the position of the workbench 4, such as Figure 5 As shown, the displacement of the imaging lens 1 is Δl, the displacement of the working surface 8 is ΔL, the magnification of the magnification adjustment lens is M, ΔL=Δl*M², that is, the lowering value of the working surface 8 is the upper displacement value of the imaging lens 1*magnification^2 (or the upper displacement value of the working surface 8 is the lowering value of the imaging lens 1*magnification^2), and each lens is adjusted to have the same magnification under the same focal plane, so that the multi-lens group object image plane is focused, and the size of the photolithography pattern can be consistent. The efficiency of platemaking can be improved, the platemaking time can be reduced, and the platemaking time can be greatly shortened and the efficiency of platemaking can be improved by using multiple lenses for scanning at the same time. Secondly, the splicing of multiple lens groups can improve the resolution and quality of the image. Due to the splicing of multiple lenses, higher resolution images can be obtained, the precision and accuracy of platemaking can be improved, and the cost can be reduced. The utility model can improve the coverage and resolution of the graphics, and solve the problem of field of view limitation in large-format platemaking. The method of the utility model splices the images of multiple imaging lenses 1 to achieve continuous field of view coverage, so that a larger platemaking area can be scanned.

[0039] The above-described embodiments only express a certain implementation method of the utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the utility model shall be based on the attached claims.
