[0044] According to the attached Figures 1 to 4 The optical device and alignment method involved in the embodiments of the present application are introduced in detail:

[0045] An embodiment of the present invention provides an alignment method for an optical device. The optical device includes a light source 110 and a detection device 120 . The detection device 120 includes a first detector 121 and a lens 122 .

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the light source 110 includes a light emitter 111, a beam shaping component 112, and optical elements 113 and 114; the detection light emitted by the light emitter 111 is expanded and shaped by the beam shaping component 112, and then reflected by the optical element 113 and converged by the optical element 114 to irradiate the surface of the object to be measured 130, forming a detection light spot.

[0047] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the detection device 120 includes a first detector 121 and a lens 122; the lens 122 is used to collect the first signal light on the surface of the object to be detected 130; the first detector 121 is used to detect the first signal light collected by the lens 122. In this embodiment, the first detector 121 is a linear array detector, specifically, the first detector 122 is a non-delayed linear array detector, or the first detector 122 is a TDI detector and the TDI detector is set to a linear array mode.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first detector is a line detector. In other embodiments, the first detector can be a surface detector or a point detector.

[0049] In addition, the object to be tested in the embodiment of the present invention may be a wafer with a pattern on the surface, or may be a wafer without a pattern or a substrate in a display device, etc., and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0050] Step S101: emitting detection light to the object to be detected by the light source; the detection light forms a detection light spot on the surface of the object to be detected, so that the detection light spot forms a first signal light through the surface of the object to be detected.

[0051] In this embodiment, the light source 110 emits detection light to the object to be measured 130 . The detection light may be linearly polarized light or circularly polarized light. The detection light irradiates the surface of the object to be measured 130 to form a detection light spot.

[0052] In this embodiment, the detection light spot is in a linear shape, and the extension direction of the detection light spot is a first direction; the detection light spot forms a first signal light after being reflected, scattered or diffracted by the surface of the object to be measured, and the first signal light includes one or more of the reflected light, scattered light or diffracted light of the surface of the object to be measured. In other embodiments, the detection light spot can also be a surface light spot, such as a circular light spot, an elliptical light spot or a rectangular light spot.

[0053] In this embodiment, the detection device 120 further includes a second detector, the photosensitive surface of the second detector forms a second detection area on the surface of the object to be detected through the lens 122, and the size of the second detection area in at least the third direction is larger than the first detection area.

[0054] In this embodiment, the second detector is a planar array detector, or a TDI detector is used and the TDI detector is set to a planar array mode; the detection light spot is in a line shape.

[0055] Step S102: Perform a first adjustment process, and after the first adjustment process, replace the second detector with the first detector.

[0056] The following is a detailed description of step S102. Figure 5 , the alignment method further comprises:

[0057] Step S1021: enabling the second detector to collect the second signal light in the second detection area through the lens 122; and obtaining image information of the object to be detected in the second detection area according to the second signal light.

[0058] In this embodiment, along any direction, the size of the second detection area is larger than the size of the detection spot, and the second detector collects the second signal light of the second detection area through the lens 122. The second detector can collect all the second signal lights generated by the detection spot within its field of view; image information of the object to be detected in the second detection area is obtained based on the second signal light, and the image information is the image information of the detection spot.

[0059] In this embodiment, before the second detector collects the second signal light of the second detection area, the light spot alignment method further includes: making the surface of the object to be measured 130 located at the focal plane of the detection device 120. Specifically, the surface of the object to be measured 130 is located at the focal plane of the lens 122, so that the second signal light on the surface of the object to be measured 130 is clearly imaged on the photosensitive surface of the second detector through the lens 122.

[0060] Step S1022: Acquire the position information of the center of the detection light spot according to the image information.

[0061] In this embodiment, acquiring the position information of the center of the detection light spot according to the image information includes: acquiring contour information of the detection light spot image according to the image information, and acquiring the position information of the center of the detection light spot according to the contour information.

[0062] Step S1023: performing a second adjustment process on the detection light spot according to the image information, so that the extension direction of the detection light spot is in a preset direction.

[0063] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, before subsequently performing a first adjustment on the positions of the detection light spot and the second detection area according to the image information, the alignment method further includes: performing a second adjustment process on the detection light spot according to the image information. In other embodiments, the second adjustment process step may not be included.

[0064] In this embodiment, the surface of the object to be detected in the second detection area has a characteristic pattern, and the characteristic pattern has a characteristic direction. The second adjustment process includes: adjusting the extension direction of the detection light spot according to the characteristic direction so that the extension direction of the detection light spot is in a preset direction.

[0065] In this embodiment, the detection light spot is used to scan the surface of the object to be measured, so as to perform a full inspection on the surface of the object to be measured. The preset direction is perpendicular to the direction in which the detection light spot scans the object to be measured. Specifically, in this embodiment, the object to be measured is a wafer, and the preset direction is along the radius of the wafer surface.

[0066] Step S1024: performing a first adjustment process on the relative positions of the detection light spot and the second detection area according to the image information, so as to at least reduce the distance between the center of the detection light spot and the center of the second detection area along the third direction.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first adjustment includes: obtaining the position information of the center of the detection light spot and the center of the second detection area according to the image information; adjusting one or more of the light source, the lens and the second detector according to the position information of the center of the detection light spot and the center of the second detection area to reduce the distance between the center of the second detection area and the center of the detection light spot.

[0068] Step S1025: After the first adjustment process, the second detector is replaced with the first detector.

[0069] The first adjustment process can make the center of the detection light spot coincide with the center of the field of view of the detection device as much as possible, so that after the second detector is replaced by the first detector, the detection light spot can be located in the field of view of the first detector.

[0070] During the process of replacing the second detector with the first detector, the lens is not replaced, and the position of the first detector can be determined by the position of the lens, so that the first detection area of ​​the first detector coincides with the center of the second detection area.

[0071] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the lens 122 and the detector 121 are connected to the mounting platform respectively, the lens 122 is not replaced, only the second detector is replaced with the first detector, and after the replacement, the first detection area of ​​the first detector coincides with the center of the second detection area.

[0072] In other embodiments, the positions of the lens and the second detector can be determined by a mounting platform. In this case, the lens and the detector are connected to the mounting platform separately, or the lens and the detector are fixedly connected and then connected to the mounting platform. After the first adjustment process, the lens can also be replaced.

[0073] Step S103: The photosensitive surface of the first detector forms a first detection area on the surface of the object to be detected through the lens, so that the first detector collects the first signal light of the first detection area under different position relationships.

[0074] It should be noted that the first detection area is the area on the surface of the object to be detected that can be detected by the first detector through the lens.

[0075] In this embodiment, the photosensitive surface of the first detector 121 forms a first detection area on the surface of the object to be measured 130 through the lens 122, and the size of the first detection area along the first direction is smaller than the size of the detection spot along the first direction; the first detector 121 collects the first signal light of the first detection area under different position relationships, and accordingly, the position relationship includes: the relative position of the detection spot and the first detection area along the first direction.

[0076] In this embodiment, the size of the first detection area along the second direction is smaller than the size of the detection light spot along the second direction, and the second direction is not parallel to the first direction. Correspondingly, the positional relationship also includes: the relative position of the detection light spot and the first detection area along the second direction. It should be noted that when the size of the detection light spot along the first direction is larger than the size of the first detection area along the first direction, the detection result is sensitive to whether the light spot is aligned with the field of view of the first detector, and the alignment is determined using the light intensity signal detected by the first detector, with higher accuracy. Similarly, when the size of the detection light spot along the second direction is larger than the size of the first detection area along the second direction, the detection result is sensitive to whether the light spot is aligned with the field of view of the first detector, and the alignment is determined using the light intensity signal detected by the first detector, with higher accuracy.

[0077] Specifically, in this embodiment, the size of the first detection area along any direction is smaller than the size of the detection light spot.

[0078] The step of enabling the first detector to collect the first signal light of the first detection area under different position relationships includes: adjusting the relative position relationship between the detection light spot and the first detection area; and collecting the first signal light of the first detection area by the detection device after adjusting the relative position relationship between the detection light spot and the first detection area each time.

[0079] refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the detection device 120 also includes an adjustment mechanism 123, which is used to adjust the relative position between the first detector 121 and the lens 122, thereby adjusting the relative position between the first detection area of ​​the first detector 121 located on the surface of the object to be measured 130 and the detection spot.

[0080] In this embodiment, adjusting the relative position relationship between the detection light spot and the first detection area includes: making the positions of the light source 110 and the lens 122 relatively fixed, adjusting the relative position between the first detector 121 and the lens 122 through the adjustment mechanism 123, changing the relative position of the first detection area and the detection light spot along the first direction, and / or the relative position of the first detection area and the detection light spot along the second direction.

[0081] Step S104: acquiring the light intensity of the first signal light at different position relationships according to the first signal light.

[0082] The light intensity of the first signal light is the total light intensity of the first signal light acquired by the first detector at different positions.

[0083] Step S105: acquiring a positional relationship when the first signal light has a maximum light intensity as an alignment position, wherein the positional relationship is a relative position between the detection light spot and the first detection area.

[0084] The adjustment mechanism 123 needs to be adjusted repeatedly for multiple times to adjust the relative position of the detection light spot and the first detection area, and the position relationship when the first signal light has the maximum light intensity is obtained as the alignment position.

[0085] Step S106: adjusting the positional relationship between the first detection area and the detection light spot to the alignment position.

[0086] The positional relationship between the first detection area and the detection light spot is adjusted to the alignment position. At this time, the first signal light of the first detection area collected by the first detector 121 is the strongest, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the detection result of the first detector 121.

[0087] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a detection method for an optical device, comprising:

[0088] S201: adjusting the position relationship to an aligned position by the alignment method as described above; specifically, adjusting the relative position relationship between the first detection area and the detection light spot to an aligned position.

[0089] S202: After adjusting the positional relationship to the alignment position, detecting the object to be detected by the detection device to obtain detection information of the object to be detected.

[0090] When the relative position relationship between the first detection area and the detection light spot is adjusted to an aligned position, the intensity of the first signal light detected by the detection device is maximum, and the accuracy of the detection result obtained by the optical device is high.

[0091] In this embodiment, the optical device includes a plurality of the detection devices; the alignment method further includes: adjusting the positional relationship between the first detection area of ​​each detection device and the detection light spot to the alignment position. At this time, the first signal light of the first detection area collected by the plurality of detection devices is the strongest, which is conducive to improving the accuracy of the detection result of the detection device.
