Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a multi-parameter semiconductor defect testing method and system. Background Art

[0002] The multi-parameter detection method is a detection technology that has gradually emerged in the semiconductor field in recent years. It collects multiple physical quantities, such as electrical, optical and mechanical, at the same time to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the object being tested, and understand the performance of materials and devices more comprehensively and accurately. The multi-parameter detection method can make up for the limitations of single parameter detection, improve the sensitivity and reliability of detection, and is suitable for the characterization and diagnosis of complex systems.

[0003] During the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, various defects are prone to occur, such as lattice dislocations, impurities, and interface traps, which can significantly affect the electrical performance and reliability of the device. Efficient and accurate detection and characterization of these defects are essential to improving the performance and reliability of semiconductor devices. Through effective defect detection, problems that occur during the manufacturing process can be discovered and corrected in a timely manner, preventing defective products from entering the market, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0004] Light-emitting diode (LED) is an important semiconductor device, and its working principle is to emit light through the combination of electrons and holes in semiconductor materials. Due to its advantages such as high efficiency, long life and environmental friendliness, LED is widely used in lighting, display, signal indication and other fields. The performance of LED directly affects its application effect and life, so in the manufacturing process, strict control of material purity, crystal quality and interface characteristics is very important. Most of the existing LED quality detection is mainly based on single parameter detection such as electrical characteristics, spectral characteristics and surface defects. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN110319925B proposes an LED detection device. The invention connects or separates the electrode of the LED with the test end to power on or off the LED, thereby alleviating the technical problems of inconvenient use and low detection efficiency of the detection device in the prior art. In addition, the Chinese patent with publication number CN108391343B provides an LED detection device, a detection system and a detection method, which detects the induced current of each of the inductive resistors and determines the backlight working state of the corresponding LED module according to the induced current. The above literatures all test LED quality based on a single parameter, which may not fully understand the multi-dimensional impact of defects, resulting in inaccurate LED defect detection results.

[0083] The processed image is converted into a grayscale image, and a grayscale co-occurrence matrix is ​​calculated to generate a matrix describing the relationship between grayscale values ​​of adjacent pixels in the image; the image texture features are obtained by calculating the combination frequency of grayscale values ​​of adjacent pixels on the grayscale co-occurrence matrix; the image contrast features are obtained by performing weighted calculation on each element in the grayscale co-occurrence matrix to obtain the defect area; the outline of the defect area in the image is extracted by an edge detection algorithm, and the area and perimeter of the defect area are calculated based on the outline to evaluate the shape characteristics of the defect area;

[0086] In this embodiment, the LED to be tested is photographed by a microscope camera, and a total of 1000 LED surface images are collected to construct an LED image subset, and the images in the LED image subset are classified by the LED image feature test model. In this embodiment, the texture features, contrast features and shape features of the normal and defective images are obtained by analyzing the LED image subset, as shown in Table 1. In this embodiment, in terms of texture features, the higher uniformity of the normal image indicates that the image is more uniform and consistent, while the lower uniformity of the defective image reflects the uneven image. In the contrast feature, the lower contrast of the normal image shows that the overall contrast of the image is weak, while the higher contrast of the defective image shows that the image contrast is strong.
