Therefore, during the manufacturing of semiconductor chips, defect detection of wafers used to prepare semiconductor chips can improve the yield rate and thus obtain higher profits. Among the existing defect detection equipment, the defect detection method based on optical imaging has the advantages of fast detection and non-contact, and is the most commonly used means of defect detection.

[0003] For defect detection equipment based on optical imaging, detection speed and detection accuracy are important indicators involved in detection. Among them, detection accuracy refers to the minimum size of defects that can be detected. It is understandable that increasing the magnification can obtain a smaller optical resolution and improve detection accuracy, but it also reduces the detection speed. In order to achieve fast and high-precision defect detection, defect detection usually includes two steps: initial inspection and re-inspection. Among them, the initial inspection is used to scan and detect the specified area with a low magnification to preliminarily obtain the defect location and preliminary morphological information of the defect in the area.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] After analysis, it was found that for defect detection, the detection time mainly depends on the initial inspection scanning detection time, the number of defects in the re-inspection, and the positioning speed of the defect position. Within a fixed detection time, how to improve the initial inspection defect identification ability has become the key to improving defect detection accuracy. Considering that there are many types of defects that may exist on the chip, bright field imaging and dark field imaging have different resolution capabilities for different types of defects. It is proposed to use bright field imaging and dark field imaging detection methods in the initial inspection. In this way, how to reasonably set the optical path of bright field imaging, dark field imaging, and re-inspection imaging has become the key to defect detection technology based on optical imaging.

[0028] Existing implementation schemes can be divided into three categories: the first scheme sets up two or three completely independent optical systems to perform bright field imaging, dark field imaging and re-inspection imaging respectively. In this way, different optical systems need to be switched to switch between bright field detection, dark field detection and re-inspection, which increases the difficulty of locating the defect position and therefore greatly increases the detection time; the second scheme adopts a common optical path design. The field of view corresponding to the bright field and the dark field is the same. Bright field imaging and dark field imaging use light sources of different wavelengths for illumination. Different wavelengths of light are separated at the signal collection end to achieve simultaneous imaging of bright field and dark field, and then re-inspection is achieved by splitting the signal light. Considering the sensitivity of different defect materials to the wavelength of detection light, The sensitivity is different, and the detection wavelength selection of bright field and dark field in this scheme is limited; the third type of scheme also adopts a common optical path design, and the bright field and dark field correspond to different areas of the field of view respectively, to achieve regional detection of bright field and dark field, and the re-inspection and bright field share the same light source, and the bright field collected signal light is split to achieve re-inspection imaging (such as the optical scheme disclosed in patent US20090059215A1). This scheme realizes simultaneous detection of bright field and dark field under the same optical path system, and can well realize fast and high-precision judgment of defect positions, but the re-inspection splitting reduces the intensity of the bright field signal and the re-inspection signal. At the same time, the rapid movement of the chip during the re-inspection can easily cause the re-inspection imaging to produce a smear phenomenon, which in turn affects the detection accuracy.

[0029] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides an optical detection device and a control method thereof, which is helpful to solve the problem of limited selection of light source wavelength in the detection process, and is helpful to alleviate the imaging ghosting phenomenon caused by re-inspecting high-speed moving samples to be inspected, thereby helping to improve the detection accuracy of re-inspection.

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the invention more clear, the invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the invention and do not constitute a limitation of the invention.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the invention, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.

[0033] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2On the one hand, the present invention provides an optical detection device, including: a re-test light source 120, the re-test light source 120 emits re-test light, the re-test light is incident on the surface of the sample to be tested 191, and is reflected by the sample to be tested 191 to form a re-test signal light; a bright field light source 100 that emits bright field light and a dark field light source 110 that emits dark field light, the bright field light and the dark field light are respectively incident on the surface of the sample to be tested 191, the bright field light is reflected by the sample to be tested 191 to form a bright field signal light, the dark field light is scattered by the sample to be tested 191 to form a dark field signal light, and the bright field signal light, the dark field signal light and the re-test signal light are transmitted along a common optical path; collecting Reflection element 180, collecting reflection element 180 is used to collect bright field signal light and dark field signal light and perform spatial separation, so that the bright field signal light is reflected into the first transmission path for bright field imaging, and the dark field signal light is entered into the second transmission path for dark field imaging; reflector element 183, reflector element 183 is arranged on the transmission path of the re-inspection signal light, and is used to reflect the re-inspection signal light to the third transmission path for re-inspection imaging; the re-inspection light is a stroboscopic light beam to weaken the smear generated by the re-inspection signal light during re-inspection imaging, and the re-inspection signal light is totally reflected by the reflector element 183 to reduce the attenuation of light intensity.

[0036] Among them, the bright field light source 100, the dark field light source 110 and the re-inspection light source 120 are independent of each other, which solves the problem of limited wavelength selection in the detection process; the bright field signal light, the re-inspection signal light and the dark field signal light are independent of each other, avoiding the need to split the previous signal light to obtain the bright field signal light and the re-inspection signal light, which is beneficial to ensure that the bright field signal light and the re-inspection signal light with stronger intensity are obtained, thereby facilitating the improvement of detection accuracy; the re-inspection signal light is fully reflected by the reflector element 183, and the light intensity attenuation is reduced as much as possible, thereby performing re-inspection imaging, which is beneficial to reducing re-inspection. The optical loss of the inspection signal light during transmission and even the light intensity attenuation during total reflection can be ignored, which is beneficial to improving the detection accuracy of the re-inspection. The use of a stroboscopic beam as the re-inspection light is beneficial to alleviating the imaging smear phenomenon caused by the high-speed moving sample 191 during re-inspection. Specifically, in order to increase the speed during the re-inspection, the camera is usually taken during the movement, and the re-inspection detector usually uses an array camera. If the re-inspection light is a constant-bright beam, due to the limited frequency of the array camera, the displacement caused by the movement within the exposure time of a single-frame photo is likely to produce a large smear, such as Figure 5 When a stroboscopic beam is used as the illumination light for re-inspection, the frequency of the re-inspection light will be higher than the frequency of the area array camera, that is, the stroboscopic time of the re-inspection light source 120 is very short, so the smear is small, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in (b) in the figure, the smear problem can be alleviated.

[0037] It should be noted that the extension direction of the first transmission path, the extension direction of the second transmission path, and the extension direction of the third transmission path are all different. In some examples, the first transmission path and the second transmission path can extend in two opposite directions, and the extension direction of the third transmission path can be perpendicular to (or parallel to) the extension direction of the first transmission path or the second transmission path. The collection reflection element 180 and the reflector element 183 are used to achieve spatial separation of bright field signal light, dark field signal light, and recheck signal light, so that the corresponding signal light is received by the corresponding detector, which solves the problem of high difficulty in detector setting caused by the close distance between the bright field signal light, the dark field signal light, and the recheck signal light.

[0038] The optical inspection device provided by the embodiment of the present invention is used to perform defect inspection on a sample 191 to be inspected. In some examples, the sample 191 to be inspected may be a chip or wafer with or without a pattern.

[0039] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the dark field signal light and the bright field signal light do not overlap each other when transmitted in the common optical path, and the distance between the dark field light spot formed on the surface of the sample 191 to be tested by the dark field light and the bright field light spot formed on the surface of the sample 191 to be tested by the bright field light is in the range of 0.2mm to 3mm. That is, the distance between the bright field light spot and the dark field light spot is neither too far nor too close, which is conducive to avoiding the difficulty of locating the same detection position, thereby improving the detection efficiency, and ensuring that the bright field detection and the dark field detection do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0040] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , the re-inspection signal light does not overlap with the bright field signal light and the dark field signal light when transmitted on a common optical path; the re-inspection light and the bright field light have a common transmission optical path, and the re-inspection light and the bright field light do not overlap with each other when transmitted.

[0041] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 In the common optical path, the re-inspection signal light is located between the dark field signal light and the bright field signal light, and the re-inspection signal light, the dark field signal light and the bright field signal light are kept from overlapping each other through mutual spatial isolation. In this way, the distance between the dark field light spot and the bright field light spot, which are the largest among the dark field light spot, the bright field light spot and the re-inspection light spot, will not be too far or too close. The advantage of not being too far is that during the switching process of bright field detection, dark field detection and re-inspection, the difficulty of locating the same detection position is avoided, which is conducive to the rapid switching of different detection methods and the improvement of detection efficiency; the advantage of not being too close is that it is conducive to ensuring that the bright field detection, the dark field detection and the re-inspection will not interfere with each other, which is conducive to the improvement of detection accuracy.

[0042] In some embodiments, the re-inspection light spot is located between the dark field light spot and the bright field light spot, and the distance from the dark field light spot to the re-inspection light spot is the same as or different from the distance from the bright field light spot to the re-inspection light spot.

[0043] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 , part of the beam path of the re-inspection light overlaps with part of the beam path of the bright field light, and part of the beam path of the bright field signal light overlaps with part of the beam path of the re-inspection signal light; the optical detection device also includes a first reflector group 122. When performing a re-inspection, the first reflector group 122 is used to be moved to the beam path of the bright field light, and the re-inspection light is guided to the surface of the sample 191 to be inspected through the first reflector group 122 by blocking the bright field light; and the reflector element 183 is used to be moved to the beam path of the bright field signal light, so that the re-inspection signal light is reflected to the third transmission path through the reflector element 183; when performing bright field detection, the first reflector group 122 is also used to be moved out of the beam path of the bright field light, so that the bright field light can be guided to the surface of the sample 191 to be inspected to generate bright field signal light, and the reflector element 183 is also used to be moved out of the beam path of the bright field signal light, so that the bright field signal light can also be transmitted to the collecting reflection element 180, and then enter the first transmission path for bright field imaging. In this way, the re-inspection optical path and the bright field detection optical path can be switched by moving the first reflector group 122 and the reflector element 183, so that the corresponding detection optical path can be turned on when performing the corresponding detection. In addition, the bright field detection and re-inspection are imaged on the same area on the sample 191 to be inspected. In the process of switching between the bright field detection and re-inspection, the difficulty of locating the same detection position is avoided, which is conducive to realizing the rapid switching of different detection methods and improving the detection speed.

[0044] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 The collecting and reflecting element 180 includes a first reflecting surface 181 and a second reflecting surface 182. The bright field signal light incident to the collecting and reflecting element 180 enters the first transmission path after being reflected by the first reflecting surface 181, and the dark field signal light incident to the collecting and reflecting element 180 enters the second transmission path after being reflected by the second reflecting surface 182.

[0045] In some embodiments, the optical detection device also includes: a first detector 200, which is arranged on the first transmission path and is used to image the bright field signal light emitted by the collecting reflective element 180; a second detector 210, which is arranged on the second transmission path and is used to image the dark field signal light emitted by the collecting reflective element 180; and a third detector 220, which is arranged on the third transmission path and is used to image the re-inspection signal light emitted by the reflector element 183.

[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4The collecting reflection element 180 is a trapezoidal prism, the first reflection surface 181 and the second reflection surface 182 are respectively arranged on the two oblique sides of the trapezoidal prism, the first transmission path, the second transmission path and the third transmission path are all distributed in the same horizontal plane, and the first detector 200, the second detector 210 and the third detector 220 are arranged on the same horizontal platform surface to reduce the influence of the vibration of the horizontal platform surface on the imaging. The principle that the first detector 200, the second detector 210 and the third detector 220 are arranged on the same horizontal platform can reduce the influence of vibration is as follows: Usually, there will be a support and shock-absorbing structure under the platform used to set the first detector 200, the second detector 210 and the third detector 220. If the first detector 200, the second detector 210 and the third detector 220 are arranged on the platform and arranged horizontally on the platform, then the center of gravity of the first detector 200, the second detector 210 and the third detector 220 is lower than the platform and can be better fixed to the platform; if the first detector 200, the second detector 210 and the third detector 220 are arranged in the vertical direction, the overall center of gravity will be higher, and the detector located on the upper layer cannot be directly fixed to the platform, and a supporting structure is required. In this way, the detector on the upper layer is more susceptible to vibration. Based on this, the embodiment of the present invention arranges the first detector 200, the second detector 210 and the third detector 220 on the same horizontal platform, which is conducive to reducing the influence of platform vibration on imaging.

[0047] In some embodiments, the bright field light source 100 and the dark field light source 110 include continuous light sources for forming an efficient linear illumination spot (long strip light spot) on the surface of the sample 191 to be inspected; in some examples, a linear optical fiber coupled bright field light source 100 or dark field light source 110 can be used as an illumination input end.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first detector 200 and the second detector 210 include line scan cameras; in some examples, the first detector 200 and the second detector 210 are both integral delay line scan cameras, which can maintain high-resolution image capture capabilities even when the sample 191 to be inspected moves at high speed, and are suitable for application scenarios in which the sample 191 to be inspected moves continuously and quickly for high-precision inspection.

[0049] In some embodiments, the re-inspection light source 120 includes a stroboscopic light source. Using a stroboscopic light source as the re-inspection light source 120 is helpful in alleviating the imaging smear phenomenon generated when re-inspecting a high-speed moving sample 191 to be inspected.

[0050] In some embodiments, the third inspection detector 220 includes a color area array camera. In this way, the third inspection detector 220 can be used to collect high-precision images with higher resolution and faster sensitivity, and can capture more details and more accurate colors, which helps technicians identify defect features by observing color images.

[0051] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The optical detection equipment also includes: an objective lens 160 and a spectroscopic element 150 arranged in sequence along a direction away from the sample to be inspected 191, the re-inspection light and the bright field light are incident on the surface of the sample to be inspected 191 through the spectroscopic element 150 and the objective lens 160 in sequence, the bright field signal light and the dark field signal light are incident on the collecting and reflecting element 180 through the objective lens 160 and the spectroscopic element 150 in sequence, and the re-inspection signal light is incident on the reflector element 183 through the objective lens 160 and the spectroscopic element 150 in sequence.

[0052] In some embodiments, the optical detection device also includes an imaging lens group 170, which is arranged between the spectroscopic element 150 and the collecting and reflecting element 180, and is also arranged between the spectroscopic element 150 and the reflector element 183. The bright field signal light and the dark field signal light emitted from the spectroscopic element 150 are collected by the collecting and reflecting element 180 through the imaging lens group 170, and the re-inspection signal light emitted from the spectroscopic element 150 is incident on the reflector element 183 through the imaging lens group 170.

[0053] In some embodiments, for Figure 1 In the optical inspection equipment, the bright field spot and the dark field spot can both be long linear spots, and the re-inspection spot is a circular spot. For details, refer to Figure 6 The outermost circle represents the maximum field of view of the optical system. The maximum field of view refers to the field of view of the detector receiving bright field signal light, the field of view of the detector receiving dark field signal light, and the field of view of the detector receiving re-inspection signal light, which are combined according to their relative positions. The field of view of the detector receiving bright field signal light and the field of view of the detector receiving dark field signal light can be symmetrically distributed about the center of the maximum field of view, and the center of the field of view of the detector receiving re-inspection signal light can coincide with the center of the maximum field of view.

[0054] Figure 6 The imaging field of view layout diagram shown is also equivalent to the illumination field of view schematic diagram. The bright field light spot and the dark field light spot can be distributed symmetrically about the center of the field of view, and the center of the re-inspection light spot can coincide with the center of the maximum field of view.

[0055] It should be noted that in order to ensure that the bright field detection and the dark field detection do not interfere with each other, it is necessary to ensure that the bright field spot and the dark field spot do not interfere with each other. Therefore, a spacing area needs to be maintained between the bright field spot and the dark field spot. The spacing area serves as an isolation area, and the width of the spacing area is d The smaller the better, the theoretical value is 0, but due to the influence of aberration and stray light of the illumination light, the bright field spot and the dark field spot will have a halo or diffuse spot. d If the optical path is 0, it will cost a lot to make the surfaces of the relevant optical components clean enough without defects and the illumination light path free of aberration. Therefore, considering the engineering difficulty and cost, and also in order to introduce the re-inspection spot, the width of the interval area is d Reasonable settings are required to ensure that bright field detection and dark field detection do not interfere with each other, and that re-inspection spots can be added without separating the bright field illumination area and the dark field illumination area too far, resulting in a large imaging field of view. The preferred width of the interval area in the embodiment of the present invention is d It is 0.2mm~3mm.

[0056] In some embodiments, the target surface size of the first detector 200 is the same as the target surface size of the second detector 210, and the imaging field of view of the imaging lens assembly 170 satisfies the following formula: ; Among them, reference Figure 6 , D is the diameter of the imaging field of view, l is the target surface length, that is, the target surface length of the second detector 210, or the target surface length of the first detector 200, w is the target surface width, that is, the target surface width of the first detector 200, or the target surface width of the second detector 210, d is the distance between the bright field and the dark field.

[0057] In some embodiments, the spectroscopic element 150 includes a spectroscope, and the angle between the spectroscopic surface of the spectroscope facing the objective lens 160 and the horizontal direction can be 45°. The imaging lens group 170, the first detector 200, the second detector 210 and the third detector 220 are arranged on the same horizontal platform to reduce the impact of platform vibration on imaging.

[0058] In some embodiments, the transmittance of the beam splitter element 150 may be in the range of 0-50%, and the reflectance of the beam splitter element 150 may be in the range of 50%-100%. The reason for this setting is that since the signal of bright field detection is sufficient (i.e., the light intensity of bright field light is large), and the signal of dark field detection is weak (the light intensity of dark field light and the light intensity of dark field signal light are both weak), the reflectance of the beam splitter element 150 is large and the transmittance is small, thereby balancing the light effect of bright field detection and the light effect of dark field detection.

[0059] In some embodiments, the optical detection device further includes a re-inspection illumination modulator mirror group 121, a first reflector group 122, and an illumination mirror group 130 disposed between the re-inspection light source 120 and the beam splitter 150. The re-inspection light emitted by the re-inspection light source 120 passes through the re-inspection illumination modulator mirror group 121, the first reflector group 122, and the illumination mirror group 130 in sequence and is incident on the beam splitter 150. In some examples, the re-inspection illumination modulator mirror group 121 may include some optical elements such as relay lenses, filters, polarizers, and apertures to shape and modulate the re-inspection light.

[0060] In some embodiments, the illumination lens group 130 is further disposed between the bright field light source 100 and the beam splitter 150, and the optical detection device further comprises a bright field illumination modulation lens group 101, and the bright field light emitted by the bright field light source 100 sequentially passes through the bright field illumination modulation lens group 101 and the illumination lens group 130 and is incident on the beam splitter 150. In some examples, the bright field illumination modulation lens group 101 may include some optical elements such as relay lenses, filters, polarizers, and apertures, which are used to shape and modulate the bright field light.

[0061] That is to say, in some embodiments of the present invention, the re-test and bright field test share the illumination lens group 130, the beam splitter element 150, the objective lens 160 and the imaging lens group 170, which is helpful to reduce the setting cost of the optical detection equipment.

[0062] In some embodiments, the optical detection device further includes a dark field illumination modulation mirror group 111 located between the dark field light source 110 and the sample to be inspected 191 , and the dark field light emitted by the dark field light source 110 passes through the dark field illumination modulation mirror group 111 and is incident on the surface of the sample to be inspected 191 .

[0063] It should be noted that the dark field illumination modulation mirror group 111, the bright field illumination modulation mirror group 101, the re-inspection illumination modulation mirror group 121, the imaging mirror group 170 and the illumination mirror group 130 involved in the embodiments of the present invention are all used to realize optical modulation of the light beam, and the optical modulation includes but is not limited to collimation, filtering and focusing.

[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1, the re-test light and the bright field light have a common transmission optical path, and the re-test light and the bright field light do not overlap each other during transmission. The optical detection device also includes a first reflector group 122. The re-test light emitted from the re-test illumination modulation mirror group 121 realizes an optical path turn through the first reflector group 122 and then enters the illumination mirror group 130. By setting the first reflector group 122, the problem of position conflict between the bright field light source 100 and the re-test light source 120 caused by the bright field light and the re-test light sharing the illumination mirror group 130 can be solved. Of course, in some cases, the first reflector group 122 can be eliminated, and the re-test light can be directly transmitted to the illumination mirror group 130 using a light beam transmission device such as an optical fiber.

[0065] In some embodiments, the optical detection device further includes a second reflector group 140, which can be used to realize the optical path turning of the complex inspection light and the bright field light. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second reflector group 140 is arranged on the transmission optical path of the re-test light emitted from the illumination mirror group 130 and the bright field light emitted from the illumination mirror group 130. The re-test light and the bright field light are reflected by the second reflector group 140 and then the optical path is turned, and then the light is incident on the spectroscopic element 150. By setting the second reflector group 140 that realizes the optical path turning, the positions of various components in the optical detection device can be reasonably arranged, which is conducive to reducing the overall volume of the optical detection device. Of course, in some cases, the second reflector group 140 can also be eliminated, so that the re-test light and the bright field light are directly incident on the spectroscopic element 150.

[0066] In some embodiments, the objective lens 160 includes a plurality of sub-objective lenses 161, each of which has a different magnification. One of the plurality of sub-objective lenses 161 is located in the light beam transmission path between the beam splitting element 150 and the sample to be inspected 191, and the sub-objective lens 161 located in the light beam transmission path is switchable. When performing bright field detection and dark field detection, a sub-objective lens 161 with a lower magnification can be switched to the light beam transmission path. When performing re-inspection, a sub-objective lens 161 with a higher magnification can be switched to the light beam transmission path for re-inspection imaging. The magnification of the selected objective lens 160 needs to be flexibly configured according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited here.

[0067] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3The optical detection device also includes an automatic focusing module, which includes an automatic focusing light source 230 and a dichroic mirror 231. The dichroic mirror 231 is arranged between the beam splitter 150 and the objective lens 160. The automatic focusing light source 230 is used to emit a focused light, which is guided by the dichroic mirror 231 to illuminate the surface of the sample to be tested 191. The focused light is reflected on the surface of the sample to be tested 191 to form a focused detection light, and the focused detection light reaches the automatic focusing module along the original optical path. The automatic focusing module may also include an imaging detector, which collects spectral information or shape information of the focused detection light. Based on this information, the position of the sample to be tested 191 relative to the front focal plane of the sub-objective lens 161 can be determined. In addition, the wavelength of the focused light is different from the wavelength of the re-test light, the wavelength of the bright field light, the wavelength of the dark field signal light, the wavelength of the bright field signal light, and the wavelength of the re-test signal light. In this way, the dichroic mirror 231 can be used to reflect the focused light and transmit the re-inspection light, bright field light, dark field signal light, bright field signal light and re-inspection signal light, which can not only ensure that the focused light is incident on the surface of the sample to be inspected 191 through the objective lens 161, but also avoid the influence of the automatic focusing module on the re-inspection, bright field detection and dark field detection. It can be understood that the position of the sample to be inspected 191 is measured in real time by the automatic focusing module, and the sample to be inspected 191 is adjusted to the front focal plane of the sub-objective lens 161 to be in a focused state, so that the sample to be inspected 191 can be initially inspected and re-inspected.

[0068] In some embodiments, the automatic focusing module can use a detection light beam in the red band as the focusing light. In some examples, a detection light beam with a wavelength in the range of 650nm~700nm is preferably used as the focusing light. The spectrum of the detection light (re-inspection light, bright field light, dark field signal light, bright field signal light and re-inspection signal light) is preferably in the band of 400nm~650nm. The dichroic mirror 231 can reflect the light beam in the band above 650nm and transmit the light with a wavelength below 650nm, so that the focusing light and the detection light of the automatic focusing module do not interfere with each other.

[0069] In some embodiments, the optical detection device further includes a carrier 190, and the carrier 190 has a carrier surface for carrying the sample 191 to be tested. In some examples, the carrier 190 is an electric translation stage, which can horizontally carry the sample 191 to be tested and move it in the XYZ directions.

[0070] On the other hand, the present invention provides a control method for an optical detection device, including: providing an optical detection device, the optical detection device including a bright field light source 100, a dark field light source 110, a re-test light source 120, an objective lens 160, a collecting reflection element 180 and a reflector element 183; the control method for the optical detection device includes: performing an initial inspection on a sample 191 to be inspected, switching the magnification of the objective lens 160 to a first magnification, controlling the bright field light source 100 to emit bright field light, and controlling the dark field light source 110 to emit dark field light, the bright field light irradiating the sample 191 to be inspected so that the sample 191 to be inspected emits bright field signal light, the dark field light irradiating the sample 191 to be inspected so that the sample 191 to be inspected scatters dark field signal light, the dark field signal light and the bright field signal light do not overlap each other, and the dark field signal light and the bright field signal light are transmitted along a common optical path through the objective lens 160. The input is collected by the collecting reflective element 180, and the collecting reflective element 180 spatially separates the bright field signal light and the dark field signal light, so that the bright field signal light is reflected into the first transmission path for bright field imaging, and the dark field signal light is entered into the second transmission path for dark field imaging; for re-inspection of the sample 191 to be inspected, the magnification of the objective lens 160 is switched to the second magnification, the second magnification is greater than the first magnification, and the re-inspection light source 120 is controlled to emit re-inspection light, the re-inspection light is incident on the surface of the sample 191 to be inspected, and is reflected by the sample 191 to form re-inspection signal light, the re-inspection signal light passes through the objective lens 160 and is reflected by the reflector element 183 to the third transmission path for re-inspection imaging, the re-inspection light is a stroboscopic light beam to weaken the smear produced by the re-inspection signal light during re-inspection imaging, and the re-inspection signal light is totally reflected by the reflector element 183 to reduce the light intensity attenuation.

[0071] In some embodiments, the initial inspection also includes: stepping and moving the sample 191 to be inspected along a first direction for bright field imaging and dark field imaging, and stepping and moving the sample 191 to be inspected along a second direction for bright field imaging and dark field imaging, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction; the re-inspection also includes: when the initial inspection detects that the sample 191 to be inspected has defects, re-inspection imaging is performed on the location of the defect.

[0072] In some embodiments, the optical detection device also includes a first reflector group 122, and a partial beam path of the re-inspection light overlaps with a partial beam path of the bright field light, and a partial beam path of the bright field signal light overlaps with a partial beam path of the re-inspection signal light; the control method of the optical detection device also includes: when performing re-inspection, moving the first reflector group 122 to the beam path of the bright field light, so that the re-inspection light is guided to the surface of the sample to be inspected 191 through the first reflector group 122, and at the same time moving the reflector element 183 to the beam path of the bright field signal light, so that the re-inspection signal light is reflected to the third transmission path through the reflector element 183; when performing bright field detection, moving the first reflector group 122 out of the beam path of the bright field light, so that the bright field light is transmitted to the surface of the sample to be inspected 191, and at the same time moving the reflector element 183 out of the beam path of the bright field signal light, so that the bright field signal light is transmitted into the first transmission path for bright field imaging.

[0073] It should be noted that the detection process of the sample 191 to be tested in the present invention is divided into initial inspection and re-inspection, wherein the initial inspection includes bright field detection and dark field detection, and the detection is performed simultaneously without interfering with the imaging. The sub-objective lens 161 with a lower magnification can be switched to the optical path to cooperate with the bright field detection and the dark field detection. When the re-inspection is performed after the bright field detection and the dark field detection are completed, the sub-objective lens 161 with a higher magnification can be switched to the optical path to cooperate with the re-inspection. Of course, in some cases, the initial inspection and re-inspection can also be carried out at the same time, such as selecting a sub-objective lens 161 with a suitable magnification to switch to the optical path, and the bright field detection, the dark field detection and the re-inspection are carried out simultaneously. Since the illumination and the imaging are separated from each other, the three can be made to not interfere with each other, which can greatly improve the detection efficiency.

[0074] In summary, in the bright field detection, dark field detection and re-inspection performed by the optical detection equipment provided in the embodiment of the present invention, each field of view is separated, and the re-inspection optical path is integrated, which is conducive to improving the detection speed; the re-inspection optical path adopts a separate re-inspection light source 120, and a stroboscopic light source is used to solve the imaging smear problem caused by the rapid movement of the sample 191 to be inspected during the re-inspection; the bright field signal light, the dark field signal light and the re-inspection signal light are separated by collecting the reflective element 180 and the reflector element 183, and then received by the corresponding detector, which solves the problem of the signal light becoming weaker after splitting due to the use of a splitter prism and the like.

[0075] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to reorder, add or delete steps. For example, the steps described in the disclosure of the present invention can be performed in parallel, sequentially or in different orders, as long as the desired results of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention can be achieved, and this document does not limit this.

[0076] The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
