Description

Technical field:

[0002] The invention belongs to the field of optical detection and machine vision, and in particular relates to a new device and method for simultaneous quasi-equi-optical-path confocal imaging detection of adjacent surfaces of semiconductor grains. Background technology:

[0004] In machine vision imaging inspection applications, when the object to be inspected is large, a telecentric imaging lens with a suitable field of view is usually selected at a workstation to inspect one side of the object. When the object to be inspected is small (such as semiconductor optoelectronic components), in order to increase the inspection speed and make full use of the effective field of view of the telecentric imaging lens, a telecentric imaging lens at a workstation is used to simultaneously inspect two sides of the object.

[0005] The main technical problems that need to be solved by the device and method for simultaneous defect detection on adjacent surfaces of semiconductor grains include equal optical path imaging and equal illumination illumination of the double-sided detection light path.

[0006] The optical path difference of the double-sided imaging light path mainly depends on the following design and structural parameters of the system:

[0007] ① The distance between the double-sided image obtained on the image combiner / beam splitter is △=a+d (design parameter), where a is the object size and d is the minimum distance between the adjacent edges of the double-sided image of the object to satisfy the image recognition processing; when the object size a increases, △ also increases;

[0008] ② The horizontal (or vertical) distance from the center of the beam splitter / combiner to the center of the grain (structural parameter L1); in the optical path where the bottom and side surfaces are detected simultaneously, L1 is related to the size and △ of the object turntable.

[0009] ③ The vertical (or horizontal) distance between the center of the beam splitter / combiner and the inclined surface of the image transfer prism (structural parameter L2); in the simultaneous detection light path of the apex and the side, L2 is related to the size and △ of the object turntable.

[0010] In the solution proposed by the applicant's previous patent applications (patent application numbers 201910207016.2 and 201911247575.2), since the optical path difference △ of the dual-sided simultaneous imaging detection is related to the structural parameters (L1, L2), when the structural parameters are large, this method will inevitably have certain limitations in use; the above two applications use a larger right-angle image rotation prism and a large telecentric imaging lens to solve the resolution problem caused by the simultaneous detection of adjacent surfaces and their optical path difference, such as Figure 1a , as shown in 1b, and the recently filed patent application (application number 201911369253.5) also requires a larger right-angle image-transfer prism (such as 30×30×15) and a smaller image-transfer prism (such as 15x15×15) to be used on the adjacent two surfaces respectively. Figure 1cAs shown, however, in order to obtain equal optical path imaging detection, the relevant structural layout parameters need to be selected with particular care when designing the optical path, which limits the freedom of optical path design or increases the difficulty of implementing the detection system to a certain extent. Summary of the invention:

[0014] Furthermore, the above-mentioned semi-transmissive and semi-reflective image combiner is replaced by a reflective and transmissive dual-zone image combiner.

[0015] Furthermore, the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective image combiner is replaced by a cubic beam splitter and image combiner.

[0016] Furthermore, the above device is provided with an illumination light source, which is a coaxial external light source located on the second side of the optical axis of the telecentric imaging lens; or the illumination light source is a coaxial built-in illumination light source built into the telecentric imaging lens.

[0019] Furthermore, the first right-angle image rotation prism is located on one side of the semiconductor crystal grain, and the second right-angle image rotation prism is located below the transparent stage on the bottom surface of the semiconductor crystal grain.

[0020] The device and method of the present invention adopt the structural principle of quasi-equal optical path confocal (ie, very small △) imaging of the detection light paths of adjacent two surfaces at the combined image position, so that the optical path difference of the two-sided detection is more controllable and more practical.

[0021] The invention discloses a new method for simultaneous quasi-equal-optical-path confocal imaging detection of adjacent surfaces of semiconductor grains, characterized in that: the new device for simultaneous quasi-equal-optical-path confocal imaging detection of adjacent surfaces of semiconductor grains comprises a camera, a telecentric imaging lens, a semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner, a semiconductor grain and a transparent stage for holding the semiconductor grain, which are sequentially arranged in the direction of the optical path; a first right-angle image rotation prism and a second right-angle image rotation prism are respectively arranged on the optical path between the semiconductor grain and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner; the first right-angle image rotation prism and the second right-angle image rotation prism are located on the peripheral side of the semiconductor grain; the first right-angle image rotation prism and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner are located on the optical axis of the telecentric imaging lens, and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner is arranged obliquely with the optical axis; the second right-angle image rotation prism is located on the first side of the optical axis of the telecentric imaging lens; and the two right-angle surfaces of each of the two right-angle image rotation prisms are aligned with the optical axis of the telecentric imaging lens.

[0054] The new device for simultaneous quasi-equal optical path confocal imaging detection of adjacent surfaces of semiconductor grains of the present invention comprises a camera 1, a telecentric imaging lens 2, a semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner 3, a semiconductor grain 6 and a transparent stage 5 for holding the semiconductor grain, which are sequentially arranged in the direction of the optical path. A first right-angle image rotation prism 4b and a second right-angle image rotation prism 4a are respectively arranged on the optical path between the semiconductor grain 6 and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner 3. The first right-angle image rotation prism 4b and the second right-angle image rotation prism 4a are located on the peripheral side of the semiconductor grain 6. The first right-angle image rotation prism 4b and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner 3 are located on the optical axis A of the telecentric imaging lens 2, and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner 3 is inclined to the optical axis A. The second right-angle image rotation prism 4a is located on the first side A1 of the optical axis of the telecentric imaging lens. The two right-angle surfaces of each of the two right-angle image rotation prisms are perpendicular to the optical path. The two adjacent surfaces of the semiconductor grain are imaged on different regional positions on the camera sensor surface through the right-angle image rotation prism and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner in a dual optical path.

[0055] The above embodiment Figure 2a , 3a As shown, Figure 2a For the inspection of the top and side surfaces of semiconductor chips, Figure 3a It is used to detect the bottom and side surfaces of semiconductor crystals, distinguishing them based on their positional relationship. Figure 3a So Figure 2a The center of the semiconductor crystal grain is the center of the circle, and the components except the semiconductor crystal grain 6 and the transparent stage 5 are rotated 180 degrees.

[0056] In another embodiment, the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective image combiner 3 can be replaced by a reflective and transmissive dual-zone image combiner 3a, such as Figure 2b , 3b As shown; Figure 2b and 3b The difference is also Figure 3a and Figure 2a The difference.

[0057] In another embodiment, the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective image combiner 3 can be replaced by a cubic beam splitter 3b.

[0058] The semi-transmissive and semi-reflective image combiner 3, the reflective and transmissive dual-zone image combiner 3a or the cubic beam splitter 3b acts as a beam splitter in the illumination optical path and acts as an image combiner in the imaging optical path.

[0059] The semi-transmissive and semi-reflective image combiner 3 is a common optical device, which is formed by coating a splitter film with a transmission and reflection ratio of 50%:50% on one side of a flat plate; similarly, the cubic beam splitter 3b is also a common optical device, which can be coated with a splitter film with a transmission and reflection ratio of 50%:50% on the inclined surface of a right-angle prism, and the inclined surfaces of two right-angle reflecting prisms are glued together; the reflective and transmissive dual-zone image combiner 3a is formed by coating half of the area on a flat glass with a high-reflective film and the other half with an anti-reflection film.

[0060] Above Figure 2a The figure shows an optical device for simultaneously inspecting the top and side surfaces of semiconductor crystal grains, wherein the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner acts as a beam splitter in the illumination optical path and acts as an image combiner in the imaging optical path; Figure 2b Corresponding to the detection optical device using a reflection-transmission dual-zone image combiner and a coaxial built-in illumination light source, the imaging detection light paths of the top and side surfaces of the detection optical device are exactly the same, achieving simultaneous double-sided detection with completely equal optical path imaging and equal illumination.

[0061] Similarly, the detection light paths of the bottom and side surfaces of the semiconductor crystal grain can also be exactly the same. It is only necessary to appropriately select the size of the right-angle image-turning prism in the side light path to compensate for the thickness of the glass turntable (transparent stage) in the bottom light path.

[0062] Figure 2a The illumination source of the crystal grain shown is located on the right side of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner, which is a coaxial external illumination. When a half-reflective + half-transmissive dual-zone image combiner is used ( Figure 2b As shown in the figure, the illumination of the grains uses a built-in coaxial lighting source. At this time, the images of the side and top (or bottom) are located on both sides of the boundary between the reflection area and the transmission area of ​​the image combiner. The size detection of semiconductor grains requires a high-contrast contour, and usually uses a different lighting method from the grain surface defect detection, such as backlighting.

[0063] like Figure 3a, 3b are optical devices for simultaneous detection of the bottom and side surfaces of coaxial external illumination and coaxial internal illumination, respectively. In the above-mentioned new device for simultaneous detection of adjacent surfaces of semiconductor grains, the quasi-equal optical path structure principle of the detection light paths of adjacent double surfaces at the combined image position is adopted. A simple analysis and calculation of the optical path difference of the adjacent double-sided detection light paths can show that the double-sided detection optical path difference has nothing to do with the structural parameters L1 and L2, but is only related to the design parameter △ of the distance between adjacent double-sided images (△=a+d), that is, it is only related to the semiconductor grain size a and the design parameter d, where a is the object size, and d is the minimum distance between the adjacent edges of the double-sided images of the object to meet the image recognition processing. When the grain size a and the double-image distance d are small (usually a≤1~2mm, d≈1~2mm), the double-sided detection optical path difference △ is also small, and this small optical path difference △ can be compensated by selecting a telecentric imaging lens with an appropriate depth of field, so it is identified as a quasi-equal optical path confocal imaging detection device. This important structural feature can make the optical path difference of double-sided detection more controllable and the detection system more practical.

[0064] The adjacent surface detection device proposed in this patent application can obtain equal optical path imaging and equal illumination detection of the top and side surfaces of the grain. For the detection of the bottom and top surfaces, by appropriately compensating for the optical path and illumination loss of the glass stage (transparent stage), equal optical path imaging and equal illumination detection can also be achieved.

[0065] This detection device can use the backlighting method to realize the size detection of high-contrast contour imaging of the top (or bottom) and side surfaces of the grain, such as Figure 4 As shown, a cubic beam splitter is used here (it acts as a beam splitter in the illumination light path and as an image combiner in the imaging light path) to facilitate the optical assembly and debugging of the front-end image transfer subsystem of the adjacent surface imaging detection device.

[0066] Two sets of detection devices are installed on the two workstations, namely the top and right side, and the bottom and left side, to achieve simultaneous detection of defects on the four sides of the grain and simultaneous detection of the three sizes of the grain, such as Figure 5 As shown, a cubic beam splitter is also used here to facilitate the optical assembly and debugging of the front-end image transfer subsystem of the adjacent surface imaging detection device.

[0067] The present invention discloses a new method for simultaneous quasi-equal-optical-path confocal imaging detection of adjacent surfaces of semiconductor crystal grains. The new device for simultaneous quasi-equal-optical-path confocal imaging detection of adjacent surfaces of semiconductor crystal grains comprises a camera, a telecentric imaging lens, a semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner, a semiconductor crystal grain and a transparent stage for holding the semiconductor crystal grain, which are sequentially arranged in the direction of the optical path. A first right-angle image rotation prism and a second right-angle image rotation prism are respectively arranged on the optical path between the semiconductor crystal grain and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner. The first right-angle image rotation prism and the second right-angle image rotation prism are located on the peripheral side of the semiconductor crystal grain. The first right-angle image rotation prism and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner are located on the optical axis of the telecentric imaging lens, and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner is arranged obliquely with the optical axis. The second right-angle image rotation prism is located on the first side of the optical axis of the telecentric imaging lens. The two right-angle surfaces of each of the two right-angle image rotation prisms are perpendicular to the optical path. At least two faces of the semiconductor crystal grain are respectively imaged on different areas of the camera sensor surface by a right-angle image-turning prism and a semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner with dual optical paths; when working, the side face of the illuminated semiconductor crystal grain is imaged by a 90-degree image-turning of the two right-angle faces and the oblique face of the first right-angle image-turning prism, and then is transmitted by the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner, and is imaged on the left half area of ​​the camera sensor surface by a telecentric imaging lens; for the top face or bottom face of the semiconductor crystal grain, after the 90-degree image-turning of the two right-angle faces and the oblique face of the second right-angle image-turning prism, and then is reflected by the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner, it is imaged on the right half area of ​​the camera sensor surface by a telecentric imaging lens; the side face and top face or bottom face images of the semiconductor crystal grain are also obtained from the imaging surface of the camera at the same time, and the image of the side face of the semiconductor crystal grain is separated from the image of the top face or bottom face of the semiconductor crystal grain by a small distance (such as Figure 2a , 3a ).

[0068] Furthermore, the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner is replaced by a reflective-transmissive dual-zone image combiner; when working, the side surface of the illuminated semiconductor crystal grain is imaged by the 90-degree image rotation of the two right-angle surfaces and the inclined surface of the first right-angle image rotation prism, and then is transmitted by the reflective-transmissive dual-zone image combiner, and is imaged on the left half area of ​​the camera sensor surface by the telecentric imaging lens; for the top or bottom surface of the semiconductor crystal grain, after the 90-degree image rotation of the two right-angle surfaces and the inclined surface of the second right-angle image rotation prism, it is reflected by the reflective-transmissive dual-zone image combiner and is imaged on the right half area of ​​the camera sensor surface by the telecentric imaging lens; the images of the side surface and the top or bottom surface of the semiconductor crystal grain are also obtained from the imaging surface of the camera at the same time, and there is a small spacing (such as 1 / 4") between the image of the side surface of the semiconductor crystal grain and the image of the top or bottom surface of the semiconductor crystal grain. Figure 2b , 3b ).

[0069] Furthermore, the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner is replaced by a reflective and transmissive dual-zone image combiner; when working, the side surface of the illuminated semiconductor crystal grain is imaged by the 90-degree image rotation of the two right-angle surfaces and the inclined surface of the first right-angle image rotation prism, and then is transmitted by the cubic beam splitter, and is imaged on the left half area of ​​the camera sensor surface by the telecentric imaging lens; for the top surface or bottom surface of the semiconductor crystal grain, it is imaged by the 90-degree image rotation of the two right-angle surfaces and the inclined surface of the second right-angle image rotation prism, and then is reflected by the cubic beam splitter, and is imaged on the right half area of ​​the camera sensor surface by the telecentric imaging lens; the images of the side surface and the top surface or bottom surface of the semiconductor crystal grain are also obtained from the imaging surface of the camera at the same time, and the image of the side surface of the semiconductor crystal grain is separated from the image of the top surface or bottom surface of the semiconductor crystal grain by a small distance (such as Figure 4 , 5 ).

[0070] Embodiments of the adjacent surface detection optical device of the present application:

Embodiment of the prism image transfer subsystem at the front end of the detection device, Figure 6a , 6b, 6C are design embodiments of the prism image transfer subsystem of the optical device for simultaneous detection of the sky and the side, wherein the optical element 3 can be a semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner, a reflective and transmissive dual-zone image combiner or a cubic beam splitter, or can be named a semi-transparent and semi-reflective beam splitter / image combiner, a reflective and transmissive dual-zone beam splitter / image combiner, a cubic beam splitter / image combiner, and its light source can be a coaxial internal and external lighting light source as needed.

[0072] When making specific

[0074] ② The cross-section of the two right-angle image-transfer prisms is a right-angled triangular column with a length, width and height of 15×15x15mm;

[0075] ③ The reflective-transmissive dual-zone beam splitter / combiner or the semi-transmissive-semi-reflective beam splitter / combiner is a rectangular plate with a size of 18×15x1mm, and the cubic beam splitter / combiner is a cube with a size of 15x15×15mm;

[0082] ① When the position of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective image combiner is fixed, if the position of the first right-angle image-turning prism in the side light path is kept unchanged, the position of the second right-angle image-turning prism in the sky light path can be adjusted in the vertical (or horizontal) direction to change the distance △ between the sky image and the optical axis.

[0083] ② On the contrary, if the position of the second right-angle image-turning prism 4a in the sky light path is kept unchanged, the position of the first right-angle image-turning prism 4b in the side light path can be adjusted horizontally (or vertically), the distance △ between the side image and the optical axis can also be changed.

[0100] In addition, for Figure 4 In an embodiment, the present application further proposes a mechanical assembly structure of a semiconductor grain adjacent surface detection pre-image-reversing prism system, which includes an upper clamping plate M1 and a lower clamping plate M2 arranged in parallel and opposite to each other, a first right-angle image-reversing prism M3, a second right-angle image-reversing prism M4 and a cubic beam splitter M5 clamped between the upper and lower clamping plates, a first positioning member M6 and a second positioning member M7 for limiting the first right-angle image-reversing prism M3, the second right-angle image-reversing prism M4 and the cubic beam splitter M5 are respectively provided on opposite surfaces of the upper clamping plate M1 and the lower clamping plate M2, a first right-angle surface M8 of the first right-angle image-reversing prism is close to or in contact with a first side surface M9 of the cubic beam splitter M5, and a first right-angle surface M10 of the second right-angle image-reversing prism M4 is opposite to a second side surface M11 of the cubic beam splitter.

[0101] The upper clamping plate M1 and the lower clamping plate M2 can be made of metal or plastic materials, the first right-angle image rotation prism M3, the second right-angle image rotation prism M4 and the cubic beam splitter M5 are made of optical materials that meet the design requirements, and the structures of the upper clamping plate M1 and the lower clamping plate M2 are symmetrically arranged; wherein M is the crystal grain to be measured, the first right-angle image rotation prism M3, the second right-angle image rotation prism M4 and the cubic beam splitter M5, the crystal grain to be measured M and Figure 4 Different numbers are used.

[0104] Furthermore, the first positioning member M6 includes a first elongated boss M14 provided on the edge of the transverse plate surface of the splint; the second positioning member includes a second elongated boss M15 provided on the edge of the longitudinal plate surface, the second elongated boss M15 and the first elongated boss M14 are perpendicular to each other, and an inclined boss M16 whose hypotenuse is at an angle of 45 degrees to the second elongated boss is provided on the longitudinal plate surface next to the second elongated boss. When in use, the second right-angle image-turning prism M4 is abutted against the edge of the first elongated boss M14 and can be adjusted left and right, and the first right-angle image-turning prism M3 is placed between the second elongated boss M15 and the inclined boss M16.

Windows for light paths to pass through are respectively provided on the two sides of the three sections of plates.
