Abstract

This invention discloses a warpage measurement device and a warpage measurement method. The warpage measurement device includes an imaging platform, a light source module, and a detection module. The imaging platform includes a reference plane and a stage. The reference plane has an imaging area. The stage is configured to position a test object such that a test surface of the test object faces the reference plane, and a gap with a variable height is defined between the test surface and the reference plane. The light source module emits a detection light along an optical path. The detection light passes through the gap and forms a light and shadow profile corresponding to the test surface in the imaging area. The optical path forms an angle with respect to the reference plane. The detection module faces the imaging area to acquire a profile image of the light and shadow profile, and the detection module analyzes the profile image to output a detection result.
