Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of MLED, and in particular to an imaging system for MLED wafer defect detection. Background Art
[0002] At present, wafer inspection methods are divided into contact inspection and non-contact inspection. Contact inspection is mainly used now. The representative method of contact inspection is electroluminescence inspection, that is, a micro-electrical probe is used to contact the two electrodes of Micro-LED respectively and inject current to record the electrical and luminous properties of the LED chip. Since the electrical probe needs to contact the LED electrode, the chip electrode, surface and probe may be damaged during the vertical movement, especially when the chip size is less than 50μm, the fine production of the probe and the precise alignment with the chip electrode become more difficult. This damage not only increases the risk of chip damage, but also accelerates the wear of the probe, which leads to a sharp increase in the cost of inspection. And taking Micro-LED as an example, an 8K display requires approximately 90 million Micro-LED chips. The inspection requirements involve the precise arrangement of millions of chips, and the brightness and color consistency requirements of each chip are extremely high, which makes the overall defect detection process extremely complicated.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides an imaging system for MLED wafer defect detection, comprising:
[0040] An imaging module, comprising a first image receiving lens 1, a second image receiving lens 2, a first beam splitter prism 3, a second beam splitter prism 4, a first image sensor 5 and a second image sensor 6;
[0041] The AOI defect detection module comprises a first light source 7, a first lens 8, a first sensor 9, a third beam splitter prism 10, a second beam splitter prism 4 and a high-power objective lens 11. The first light source 7 sequentially passes through the first lens 8, the first sensor 9, the first beam splitter prism 3, the second beam splitter prism 4 and the high-power objective lens 11, and is irradiated on the sample 16 to form sample scattered light. The sample scattered light is collimated by the high-power objective lens 11, passes through the second beam splitter prism 4 and the first beam splitter prism 3, and is split by the first beam splitter prism 3 to pass through the first image receiving objective lens 1, the first image sensor 5, the second image receiving objective lens 2, and the second image sensor 6 to form an image, and the first central optical axes of the first image receiving objective lens 1 and the first beam splitter prism 3 are coaxially arranged;
[0042] The central wavelength detection module includes a second light source 12, a second lens 13, and a second sensor 14. The second light source 12 passes through the second lens 13, the second sensor 14, the third beam splitter prism 10, the second beam splitter prism 4, and the high-power objective lens 11 in sequence, and is irradiated on the sample 16 to form fluorescence. The fluorescence is collimated by the high-power objective lens 11, passes through the second beam splitter prism 4 and the first beam splitter prism 3, and is split by the first beam splitter prism 3 to pass through the first image receiving objective lens 1, the first image sensor 5, the second image receiving objective lens 2, and the second image sensor 6 to form an image, and the central wavelength is calculated, and the second central optical axes of the second image receiving objective lens 2 and the first beam splitter prism 3 are coaxially arranged.
[0043] In this embodiment, in the AOI defect detection module, the distance between the first light source 7 and the first lens 8 can be adjusted to achieve uniform lighting and avoid shadow and reflection interference; the sample scattered light is received and collimated by the high-power objective lens 11, and then transmitted to the imaging module. The image generated by the imaging module can be used for appearance defect detection through the connected intelligent electronic device.
[0044] In the central wavelength detection module, the distance between the second light source 12 and the second lens 13 can also be adjusted to achieve uniform lighting, avoid shadow and reflection interference, use a collimating lens to shape the light beam, reduce the spot area, and improve light utilization; this module mainly uses the corresponding relationship between dual camera pixels to achieve spectral analysis of a single pixel. At the same time, the spectrum of each chip can be located.
[0045] The first image sensor 5 and the second image sensor 6 use high-resolution (6500W pixels) and high-sensitivity image sensors (such as CCD, CMOS, sCCD, sCMOS, etc.), which can capture tiny defects and have a high frame rate to meet dynamic detection requirements. Combined with real-time monitoring sensors, the incident angle and light intensity of the light source are automatically adjusted.
[0046] In another embodiment, the imaging module further includes:
[0047] The bandpass filter 15 is disposed between the first beam splitter prism 3 and the second beam splitter prism 4 , and the bandpass filter 15 is coaxial with the first central optical axis of the first beam splitter prism 3 and the first central optical axis of the second beam splitter prism 4 .
[0048] The light transmittance of the bandpass filter 15 should satisfy reflection, transmission, and reflection, thereby effectively screening the required light wavelength.
[0049] In another embodiment, the third beam splitter prism 10 is a dichroic mirror. The dichroic mirror effectively splits light and guides the light into the chip to be detected, ensuring that the optical path is efficient and accurate. By automatically adjusting the incident angle and intensity of the light source, the detection conditions are optimized in real time, further improving the detection efficiency.
[0050] In another embodiment, the first light source 7 is a white light LED, and the light transmittance satisfies.
[0051] In another embodiment, the second light source 12 is a purple LED, and the transmittance satisfies.
[0052] In another embodiment, the focal lengths of the first lens 8 and the second lens 13 satisfy:
[0053] f=D / (2·tan(θ / 2))
[0054] Wherein, f represents the focal length, D represents the aperture, represents the divergence angle of the first light source 7 or the second light source 12, and the coating parameters should cover the wavelength range = 350nm ~ 700nm, and the absorption transmittance (AbsT) ≥ 99.7%.
[0055] In another embodiment, the calculation of the central wavelength is expressed as:
[0056]
[0057] Wherein: I1 represents the image light intensity received by the first image sensor 5, I2 represents the image light intensity received by the second image sensor 6, L represents the gradient wavelength spectrum width of the splitting surface of the first splitting prism 3, W represents the central wavelength of the splitting surface of the first splitting prism 3, and σ represents the conversion coefficient between theoretical transmittance and actual transmittance.
[0058] In actual use, see Figure 3 , the central wavelength is selected as 550nm, L=300, the light intensities received by the first image sensor 5 and the second image sensor 6 are I1=50, I2=148, σ=0.998, then:
[0059] λc=550+300*0.998*(50-148) / (2*200)=450nm
[0060] The fluorescence center wavelength of sample 16 is selected as 450 nm.
[0061] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 , please refer to the image collected in this embodiment.
[0062] The present invention is based on the AOI defect detection module and the central wavelength detection module. Not only can the appearance defects be effectively detected through the AOI defect detection module, but also the spectrum analysis of a single pixel can be realized through the central wavelength. At the same time, the spectrum of each chip can be located. The brightness, color and defects of the chip can be efficiently detected, and the detection requirements of different types of chips can be adapted. Combined with high-resolution sensors and intelligent automatic adjustment functions, the system can adjust the light source and light path conditions in real time, thereby improving detection efficiency and accuracy.
