[0036] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a monitoring system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, a monitoring system includes: a first optical component 100, a second optical component 200 and an adjustment module (not shown in the figure).

[0037] The first optical component 100 includes a first reflector 110, which is used to reflect the first illumination light 90 and make the first illumination light 90 obliquely incident on the surface of the sample 300, and the first illumination light 90 is reflected by the surface of the sample 300 to form a first signal light 91; The second optical component 200 includes a second reflector 220, an imaging component 230 and a first detector 240. The imaging component 230 is used to use the first signal light 91 to image the surface of the sample 300 to the first detector 240. The first detector 240 is used to obtain a detection image of the surface of the sample 300 based on the first signal light 91 and form a light spot 400 on the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240. The second reflector 220 is used to make the light spot 400 formed by the first signal light 91 reflected from the surface of the sample 300 at a preset calibration position on the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240 be at a preset position.

[0038] The adjustment module is used to synchronously adjust the rotation angle of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 relative to the normal plane of the sample 300 surface, so that the first illumination light 90 reflected by the sample 300 at different heights perpendicular to its surface and at the same point along the surface of the sample 300 forms a first signal light 91 which is collected at the same position of the first detector 240.

[0039] refer to Figure 1As shown, the monitoring system can be applied in an optical system for processing the surface of a sample 300, wherein a first optical component 100 is used to provide a first illumination light 90 as a detection light to the surface of the sample 300, and the first illumination light 90 is reflected by the surface of the sample 300 to form a first signal light 91; a second optical component 200 is used to image the surface of the sample 300 with the first signal light 91, and to determine whether a light spot 400 formed by the first signal light 91 on the first detector 240 is at a preset position 500, so as to adjust the first transmitting mirror 110 and the second reflecting mirror 220 through an adjustment module according to the offset between the light spot 400 and the preset position 500, so as to automatically adjust the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 incident on the surface of the sample 300 on the surface of the sample 300, so that when the height of the surface of the sample 300 changes, the first illumination light 90 can be at the same incident position on the surface of the sample 300 through the adjustment module, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the sample.

[0040] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the first optical component 100 and the second optical component 200 are located on the same side of the sample 300. Figure 1 As shown, the first optical component 100 includes a first reflector 110, so as to make the first illumination light 90 obliquely incident on the surface of the sample 300 through the first reflector. Obliquely incident on the surface of the sample 300 can be understood as the incident angle of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300 is an acute angle.

[0041] Continue to refer Figure 1 The first reflector 110 reflects the first illumination light 90 and makes it obliquely incident on the surface of the sample 300 . The first illumination light 90 is reflected by the surface of the sample 300 to form a first signal light 91 . The first signal light 91 is received by the second optical component 200 .

[0042] refer to Figure 1 , the second optical component 200 includes a second reflector 220, an imaging component 230 and a first detector 240. The imaging component 230 can receive the first signal light 91 and use the first signal light 91 to image the surface of the sample 300 to the first detector 240, the first detector 240 can obtain a detection image of the surface of the sample 300 according to the first signal light 91, and form a light spot 400 on the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240, and the second reflector 220 is used to make the light spot 400 formed by the first signal light 91 reflected from the surface of the sample 300 at the preset calibration position on the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240 be at a preset position 500.

[0043] The preset calibration position is the height position of the sample 300 when the surface of the sample 300 is detected. For example, the preset calibration position can be a position at any height of the surface of the sample 300.

[0044] In this embodiment, the sample 300 used is, for example, a wafer. In other embodiments, the sample 300 may also be a chip, a display panel, or a mobile phone glass shell, etc., which are samples that can be subjected to surface defect detection.

[0045] The preset position 500 is any position of the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240. Specifically, the preset position 500 may be the center of the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240.

[0046] Specifically, during the adjustment process, the second reflector 220 can be used to ensure that the light spot formed on the surface of the first detector 240 by the first signal light 91 reflected by the sample 300 at the preset calibration position is located at the center of the photosensitive surface.

[0047] When testing multiple samples, due to different thicknesses of the samples 300 or vibration of the samples 300, the height of the surface of the samples 300 may change in the thickness direction. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when different samples 300 are tested, the position of the surface of the sample 300 in the second direction Z may change. For example, when the sample 300 is tested, the sample 300 needs to be replaced, and the replaced sample 300 has a different thickness from the previous sample 300, so the surface position of the different samples 300 is offset in the second direction Z. Figure 1 and Figure 2 For example, when the thickness D2 of the replaced sample 300 is greater than the thickness D1 of the previous sample 300, if there is no adjustment module of the present application, the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300 will be offset to the left in the first direction X, resulting in the light spot 400 formed by the first signal light 91 formed by the first illumination light 90 reflected from the surface of the sample 300 on the first detector 240 and also being offset from the preset position 500. The light spot 400 is also the actual position of the image formed by the first signal light 91 on the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240. Therefore, the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300 can be adjusted so that the same point to be measured on the surface of the sample 300 at different heights forms the same light spot on the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240, thereby avoiding the position change of the incident position of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300 in the direction perpendicular to the height of the sample 300 due to the change in the height of the sample 300. The height direction is perpendicular to the surface of the sample 300.

[0048] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, an adjustment module is provided in the monitoring system, and an adjustment device is used to synchronously adjust the rotation angle of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300, so that the first illumination light 90 reflected by the sample 300 at different heights perpendicular to the surface of the sample 300 and at the same point along the surface of the sample 300 forms a first signal light 91 which is collected at the same position of the first detector.

[0049] In the monitoring system, when the height of the surface of the sample 300 changes, causing the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300 to shift, the second reflector 220 is adjusted by the adjustment module to adjust the light spot 400 to a preset position 500 on the first detector 240, and the first reflector 110 is also synchronously adjusted to adjust the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300, thereby eliminating the phenomenon of inaccurate detection position caused by the deviation of the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300 due to the change in the height of the sample 300 surface.

[0050] It should be noted that the adjustment module synchronously adjusts the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 , which does not emphasize the synchronization in time, but refers to adjusting both the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 .

[0051] The preset calibration position is a position having preset coordinates in the height direction. For example, the preset calibration position may be a position having a coordinate of 0 in the height direction of the optical processing device coordinate system.

[0052] The monitoring system synchronously adjusts the rotation angle of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300 through the adjustment module, so as to synchronously adjust the incident light path A of the first optical component 100 and the light path (reflection light path B) where the first signal light 91 is located, so that the first illumination light 90 reflected from the sample 300 at different heights perpendicular to the surface of the sample 300 and at the same point along the surface of the sample 300 to form the first signal light 91 can be collected at the same position of the first detector 240, so as to eliminate the phenomenon that the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 is offset due to the change in the surface height of the sample 300, and the position to be detected on the surface of the sample 300 can be accurately collected, thereby obtaining accurate position information of surface defects of the sample 300 and improving the detection accuracy of the surface of the sample 300.

[0053] The first detector 240 is, for example, a time delay integration detector (TDI), a charge coupled device (CCD), a position sensitive detector (PSD), or a photomultiplier tube array (PMT), and no specific limitation is given herein.

[0054] In this embodiment, the monitoring system also includes a control system, which is used to determine whether the light spot deviates from the preset position based on the detection image of the first detector; if so, the control system controls the adjustment module to synchronously adjust the rotation angle of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 relative to the normal plane of the sample 300 surface until the light spot in the detection image is located at the preset position.

[0055] Specifically, the second optical component 200 uses the first signal light 91 to form a light spot 400 on the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240, and the control system can obtain the detection image of the first detector 240, which includes the preset position 500 of the light spot imaging. It can be understood that the preset position 500 is a preset collection area within a certain range, and the size of the preset collection area can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the preset position can be the center of the detection image; it is not specifically limited here. If the light spot 400 deviates from the preset position 500, that is, the light spot 400 is not formed within the range of the preset position 500, then the control system controls the adjustment module to synchronously adjust the rotation angle of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300, so that the first illumination light 90 reflected by the sample 300 at different points perpendicular to the surface and along the same point of the sample 300 forms the first signal light 91 and is collected at the same position of the first detector 240. If it is determined that the light spot 400 does not deviate from the preset position 500, that is, the light spot 400 is formed within the range of the preset position 500, no adjustment is required.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 The first optical component 100 further includes a first focusing mirror 120, which is used to focus the first illumination light 90 onto the surface of the sample 300, wherein the arrangement order of the incident light path A of the first reflecting mirror 110 and the first focusing mirror 120 in the incident direction can be interchanged, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first reflector 110 and the first focusing mirror 120 are arranged along the incident light path A of the incident direction of the first illumination light 90, as shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown, the first focusing mirror 120 and the first reflecting mirror 110 are arranged along the incident light path A of the incident direction of the first illumination light 90. In the second optical assembly 200, the first detector 240 is always located in the light path after the imaging assembly 230, and the positional relationship between the second reflecting mirror 220 and the imaging assembly 230 can be interchanged, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second reflector 220 is located in the optical path between the imaging assembly 230 and the first detector 240. Figure 5 As shown, the second reflector 220 is located in the optical path before the imaging component 230 , that is, the second reflector 220 is located in the optical path between the imaging component 230 and the sample 300 .

[0057] The imaging component may be an integral structure or a structure composed of multiple components, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, for example, the imaging assembly 230 may include a first collimator 231 and a second focusing lens 232, wherein the first collimator 231 is used to collimate the first signal light 91, and the second focusing lens 232 is used to focus the first signal light 91. Figure 1 As shown, the second reflecting mirror 220 may also be located in the optical path between the first collimating mirror 231 and the second focusing mirror 232 .

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the first optical component 100 is composed of a first reflector 110 and a first focusing mirror 120 arranged in sequence along the incident light path A of the first illumination light 90. The first focusing mirror 120 is used to focus the first illumination light 90 reflected by the first reflector 110 onto the surface of the sample 300. The second optical component 200 is composed of a first collimator 231, a second reflector 220, a second focusing mirror 232, and a first detector 240 located at the back focal plane of the second focusing mirror 232, which are arranged in sequence along the reflected light path B of the first signal light 91. The first collimator 231 and the second focusing mirror 232 jointly use the first signal light 91 to image the surface of the sample 300. The second reflector 220 can be located at any position in the parallel light path after the collimating surface of the first collimator 231, and the first reflector 110 can be located at any position in the light path before the first focusing mirror 120.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the imaging assembly 230 includes a first collimator 231 and a second focusing mirror 232, the first detector 240 is located at the rear focal plane of the second focusing mirror 232; the first reflector 110 and the first focusing mirror 120 are arranged along the incident direction of the first illumination light 90; the second reflector 220 is located between the first collimator 231 and the second focusing mirror 232; the first illumination light reflected by the first reflector 110 is parallel light. The focal length of the first focusing mirror 120 is equal to the focal length of the first collimator 231.

[0060] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the light paths on both sides of the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300 include an incident light path A and a reflected light path B. Figure 1 The reflected light path B from the second reflector 220 to the surface of the sample 300 and the incident light path A from the first reflector 110 to the sample 300 are shown to be symmetrical about the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300. In other embodiments of the present application, the reflected light path B from the second reflector 220 to the surface of the sample 300 and the incident light path A from the first reflector 110 to the sample 300 may be asymmetrical about the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300.

[0061] In one embodiment, specifically, in the process of the control system controlling the adjustment module to synchronously adjust the rotation angle of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300, the control system can be used to control the adjustment module so that the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the sample 300 has a first change amount along the convergence plane parallel to the first focusing mirror 120, and the light spot of the first detector 240 at the conjugate point on the object side has a second change amount along the photosensitive plane parallel to the first detector 240 in the direction of the object side conjugate plane, and the first change amount is equal to the second change amount.

[0062] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the surface of the sample 300 changes in the second direction Z, the adjustment module can be used to synchronously adjust the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 to rotate in opposite directions relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300, so that the first illumination light 90 has a first change amount on the incident position 310 of the sample 300 parallel to the convergence surface, and the light spot of the first detector 240 has a second change amount on the conjugate point of the object side parallel to the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240 in the direction of the object side conjugate plane, and the first change amount is equal to the second change amount, so as to adjust the symmetrical optical path, so as to eliminate the deviation of the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 caused by the height change of the sample 300 surface, and accurately collect the position to be detected on the surface of the sample 300, so as to obtain accurate surface information of the sample 300 and improve the processing accuracy of the surface of the sample 300.

[0063] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, the first focusing mirror 120 and the first collimating mirror 231 both have focal lengths, the focal length of the first focusing mirror 120 is denoted as f1, and the focal length of the first collimating mirror 231 is denoted as f2. The first illumination light 90 can be adjusted to have a first change amount of f1*tan∠1 or f1*∠1 on the incident position 310 of the sample 300 parallel to the convergence plane through the adjustment module; ∠1 is the rotation angle of the first reflector, and f1 is the focal length of the first focusing mirror 120. The light spot of the first detector 240 can be adjusted to have a second change amount of f2*tan∠2 or f2*∠2 on the object side conjugate point along the direction of the object side conjugate plane parallel to the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240 through the adjustment module, and f2 is the focal length of the first collimating mirror 231. Wherein, the first change amount is equal to the second change amount, that is, the control system controls the adjustment module so that f1*tan∠1=f2*tan∠2 or f1*∠1=f2*∠2. When the first reflector rotates by ∠1, the second reflector rotates by ∠2 accordingly. Wherein, when the focal length f1 of the first focusing mirror 120 is equal to the focal length f2 of the first collimating mirror 231, the rotation angle ∠1 of the first reflector 110 is equal to the rotation angle ∠2 of the second reflector 220, and the adjustment directions of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 are opposite, and the adjustment amounts are the same. That is, in the process of adjusting the incident light path A and the reflected light path B by using the adjustment module, the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 can be synchronously adjusted to rotate in opposite directions relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300, so that the rotation angle of the first reflector 110 is the same as the rotation angle of the second reflector 220. The first illumination light is incident on the first focusing mirror 120 in parallel.

[0064] The first change amount and the second change amount are both vectors. For example, the projection of the first change amount on the surface normal of the sample 300 along the second direction Z upward can be recorded as the positive direction, and the projection of the first change amount on the surface normal of the sample 300 along the opposite direction of the second direction Z downward can be recorded as the negative direction. When the first change amount is equal to the second change amount, the projection direction of the second change amount is also consistent with the projection direction of the first change amount.

[0065] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 As shown, the first optical assembly 100 is composed of a first reflector 110 and a first focusing mirror 120 arranged in sequence along the incident optical path A of the first illumination light 90, and the second reflector 220 is located in the optical path between the imaging assembly 230 and the first detector 240. The second optical assembly 200 is composed of an imaging assembly 230, a second reflector 220 and a first detector 240 arranged in sequence along the reflected optical path B of the first signal light 91. In this embodiment, the imaging assembly 230 includes a first collimator 231 and a second focusing mirror 232 arranged along the reflected optical path B. The first detector 240 is located at the rear focal plane of the second focusing mirror 232.

[0066] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, the first detector 240 is located at the rear focal plane of the second focusing mirror 232, and the optical path between the first collimator 231 and the second focusing mirror 232 is parallel. In other embodiments, the first detector 240 may not be located at the rear focal plane of the second focusing mirror 232, and the optical path between the first collimator 231 and the second focusing mirror 232 is not parallel. The first reflector 110 may be located between the first collimator 231 and the second focusing mirror 232. The adjustment angle of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 is synchronously adjusted to ensure that the first change amount is equal to the second change amount, and no further details are given here. In this embodiment, the first reflector is located in a parallel light path, the second reflector is also located in a parallel light path, the first reflector is at any position of the first collimating mirror and the second focusing mirror, and the second reflector is located at any position of the parallel light path after the first focusing mirror. The rotation angle and rotation direction of the first reflector and the second reflector are fixed. Therefore, the position requirements for the first reflector and the second reflector during the installation process are very low, which can be more conducive to accurate monitoring.

[0067] refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, when the surface of the sample 300 changes in the second direction Z, the rotation directions of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 can be adjusted by the adjustment module so that the two rotate in opposite directions, and the first reflector 110 can be adjusted by the adjustment module so that the first illumination light 90 has a first change amount of f1*tan∠1 or f1*∠1 on the incident position 310 of the sample 300 along the direction parallel to the convergence plane; ∠1 is the rotation angle of the first reflector 110, and f1 is the focal length of the first focusing mirror 120; the second reflector 220 can be adjusted by the adjustment module so that the light spot of the first detector 240 has a second change amount of (d 3* ∠2) / M or (d 3* tan∠2) / M, d3 is the distance between the second reflector 220 and the first detector 240, ∠2 is the rotation angle of the second reflector 220, and M is the magnification of the imaging component 230; wherein the magnification of the imaging component 230 may be the sum of the magnification of the first collimating mirror 231 and the magnification of the second focusing mirror 232. When the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 are adjusted by the adjustment module, the first change amount is equal to the second change amount, that is, the control system controls the adjustment module so that f1*tan∠1=(d 3* tan∠2) / M, or f1*∠1=(d 3*∠2) / M, so that the first illumination light 90 reflected by the sample 300 at different heights perpendicular to the surface forms the first signal light 91 to be collected at the same position of the first detector 240. When the first reflector rotates by ∠1, the second reflector rotates by ∠2 accordingly. The first illumination light is incident on the first focusing mirror in parallel.

[0068] In one embodiment, illustratively, the arrangement of the first focusing mirror 120 and the first reflecting mirror 110 in the incident light path A may also be changed. Figure 4 As shown, the first optical component 100 is composed of a first focusing mirror 120 and a first reflecting mirror 110 arranged in sequence along the incident optical path A of the first illumination light 90, and the second optical component 200 is composed of an imaging component 230, a second reflecting mirror 220 and a first detector 240 arranged in sequence along the reflected optical path B of the first signal light 91. In this embodiment, the imaging component 230 includes a first collimating mirror 231 and a second focusing mirror 232 arranged along the reflected optical path B. The first detector 240 is located at the rear focal plane of the second focusing mirror 232.

[0069] refer to Figure 4 In the monitoring system, when the surface of the sample 300 changes in the second direction Z, the rotation directions of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 can be adjusted by the adjustment module so that the two rotate in opposite directions. The first reflector 110 is adjusted by the adjustment module so that the first illumination light 90 has a first change amount on the incident position 310 of the sample 300 parallel to the convergence plane, and the first change amount is d1*tan∠1, or the first change amount is d1*∠1, d1 is the distance between the first reflector 110 and the convergence plane of the first illumination light; the second reflector 220 is adjusted by the adjustment module so that the light spot of the first detector 240 has a second change amount (d 3* ∠2) / M or (d 3* tan∠2) / M, d3 is the distance between the second reflector 220 and the first detector 240, ∠2 is the rotation angle of the second reflector 220, and M is the magnification of the imaging component 230; wherein the magnification of the imaging component 230 may be the sum of the magnification of the first collimating mirror 231 and the magnification of the second focusing mirror 232. When the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 are adjusted by the adjustment module, the first change amount is equal to the second change amount, that is, the control system controls the adjustment module so that d1*tan∠1=(d 3* tan∠2) / M, or d1*∠1=(d 3*∠2) / M, so that the first illumination light 90 reflected by points of different heights perpendicular to the surface of the sample 300 forms the first signal light 91 which is collected at the same position of the first detector 240. When the first reflector rotates by ∠1, the second reflector rotates by ∠2 accordingly.

[0070] In one embodiment, illustratively, the arrangement of the second reflector 220 and the imaging assembly 230 in the reflection light path B may also be changed. Figure 5 As shown, the first optical assembly 100 is composed of a first focusing mirror 120 and a first reflecting mirror 110 arranged in sequence along the incident optical path A of the first illumination light 90, and the second optical assembly 200 is composed of a second reflecting mirror 220, an imaging assembly 230 and a first detector 240 arranged in sequence along the reflected optical path B of the first signal light 91. In this embodiment, the imaging assembly 230 includes a first collimating mirror 231 and a second focusing mirror 232 arranged along the reflected optical path B. The first detector 240 is located at the back focal plane of the second focusing mirror 232 or other positions.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, in the monitoring system, when the surface of the sample 300 changes in the second direction Z, the first reflector 110 is adjusted by the adjustment module so that the first illumination light 90 has a first change amount of d1*tan∠1 or d1*∠1 on the incident position 310 of the sample 300 along the direction parallel to the convergence plane, where d1 is the distance between the first reflector 110 and the convergence plane of the first illumination light; the second reflector 220 is adjusted by the adjustment module so that the light spot of the first detector 240 has a second change amount of d2*∠2 or d3*∠1 on the conjugate point of the object side along the direction parallel to the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240 in the direction of the conjugate plane of the object side. 2* tan∠2; d2 is the distance between the second reflector and the object focal plane of the imaging component; wherein, when the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 are adjusted by the adjustment module, the first change amount is equal to the second change amount, that is, the control system controls the adjustment module so that d1*tan∠1= d 2* tan∠2, or d1*∠1= d 2* tan∠2, so that the first illumination light 90 reflected by the sample 300 at different heights perpendicular to the surface forms the first signal light 91 which is collected at the same position of the first detector 240. When the first reflector rotates by ∠1, the second reflector rotates by ∠2 accordingly.

[0072] Therefore, the monitoring system can adjust the first reflector 110 through the adjustment module to correct the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300, and adjust the second reflector 220 to correct the light spot 400 formed by the first signal light 91 on the first detector 240 to the same preset position 500 of the first detector 240, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the surface of the sample 300.

[0073] In the above embodiment, in order to ensure that the adjustment angles of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 are consistent during the adjustment process, the optical path from the first reflector 110 to the surface of the sample 300 and the optical path from the second reflector 220 to the surface of the sample 300 are symmetrical about the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300. In other embodiments, they may also be asymmetrical.

[0074] In this embodiment, the regulating module is a piezoelectric regulating device, or a motor or a manual control module.

[0075] Figure 6 Flow chart of a monitoring method of a monitoring system provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The monitoring method of the monitoring system is used in the monitoring system provided in the above embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, a monitoring method of a monitoring system includes: Step S110, reflecting the first illumination light through the first reflector and making the first illumination light obliquely incident on the surface of the sample 300, and the sample surface reflects the first illumination light to form a first signal light; Step S120, acquiring a detection image of the sample surface through a second optical component; Step S130, monitoring and processing the sample according to the detection image, the monitoring and processing including: if the light spot deviates from the preset position, synchronously adjusting the rotation angle of the first reflector and the second reflector relative to the normal plane of the sample surface through the adjustment module, so that the first illumination light reflected by the sample at different heights perpendicular to the surface and at the same point along the sample surface forms a first signal light and is collected at the same position of the first detector.

[0076] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, before or during the processing of the sample 300, when the thickness D2 of the replaced sample 300 is greater than the thickness D1 of the previous sample 300 or the sample vibrates up and down during the processing, the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300 is offset in the first direction X. Simultaneously, the light spot 400 formed by the first signal light 91 formed by the first illumination light 90 reflected from the surface of the sample 300 and formed on the first detector 240 is also offset from the preset position 500. In order to obtain the offset of the light spot 400 and the preset position 500, In order to obtain the offset of the incident position 310 on the surface of the sample 300, it is necessary to obtain a detection image of the surface of the sample 300 through the second optical component 200; according to the offset of the light spot 400 in the detection image and the preset position 500, the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 are synchronously adjusted by the adjustment module to rotate in opposite directions relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300, so that the first illumination light 90 reflected from the sample 300 at different heights perpendicular to the surface and at the same point along the sample surface forms a first signal light which is collected at the same position of the first detector.

[0077] The monitoring method of the monitoring system can automatically calibrate the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300 by adjusting the incident light path A of the first optical component 100 and the reflected light path B of the first optical component 100 when the surface of the sample 300 changes in the second direction Z perpendicular to the surface of the sample 300, so as to obtain accurate surface defect information of the sample 300 and improve the detection accuracy of the sample 300.

[0078] In one embodiment, in step S130, monitoring processing is performed on the sample according to the detection image, including: Step S132, judging whether the light spot deviates from the preset position according to the detected image; if the light spot deviates from the preset position, executing step S134; if the light spot does not deviate from the preset position, no adjustment is required; Step S134, determining the rotation direction of the first reflector and the second reflector according to the deviation direction of the light spot from the preset position, and synchronously adjusting the rotation angle of the first reflector and the second reflector relative to the normal plane of the sample surface according to the rotation direction until the light spot is at the preset position.

[0079] Figures 1 to 5 The monitoring systems of the illustrated embodiments may all be referenced herein.

[0080] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a detection image of the first detector 240 can be obtained, and the detection image includes the preset position 500 of the light spot imaging. If the light spot 400 is not formed within the range of the preset position 500, that is, the position of the light spot 400 and the preset position 500 are offset, it means that the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 to the sample is also offset. The offset of the light spot 400 and the preset position 500 includes the offset direction and the offset amount.

[0081] like Figure 2As shown, the light spot position 400 has an offset in the first direction relative to the preset position 500, so it can be obtained that the incident position 310 of the sample has an offset in the first direction relative to the point to be measured of the sample. Therefore, the rotation direction of the first reflector and the second reflector is determined according to the deviation direction of the light spot from the preset position, and the rotation angles of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300 are synchronously adjusted according to the rotation direction, and the position of the light spot 400 is gradually adjusted until the light spot is within the range of the preset position 500. Through such a repeated adjustment process, the first illumination light 90 reflected from the sample 300 at different heights perpendicular to the surface and the same point along the sample surface to form the first signal light 91 is collected at the same position of the first detector 240, so that the first illumination light 90 does not deviate at the incident position 310 on the surface of the sample 300, so that the surface of the sample 300 is imaged and collected at the same position, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the surface of the sample 300.

[0082] In other embodiments of the present application, if the light spot deviates from the preset position, step S134 is executed, including: determining the rotation angle and rotation direction of the first reflector and the second reflector according to the offset and deviation direction of the light spot from the preset position; after determining the rotation angle and rotation direction, respectively adjusting the first reflector and the second reflector through the adjustment module. Specifically, before performing the monitoring process, the first correspondence between the offset of the light spot from the preset position and the rotation angle, and the second correspondence between the offset direction and the rotation direction can be stored in the monitoring system, and the rotation angle and rotation direction can be directly obtained according to the first correspondence and the second correspondence during the monitoring process. The first correspondence can be a data list or a function relationship. This method can avoid repeated adjustment of the first reflector and the second reflector, thereby improving the processing speed.

[0083] If after replacing the sample or during the processing of the sample by the processing system, it is determined based on the detection image that the light spot 400 has not deviated from the preset position 500, that is, the light spot 400 is formed within the range of the preset position 500, then it means that the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 to the sample has not shifted relative to the point to be measured of the sample, and no adjustment is required.

[0084] The monitoring method of the monitoring system monitors the offset of the light spot 400 and the preset position 500 based on the detection image, so as to synchronously adjust the incident light path A of the first optical component 100 and the light path (reflection light path B) where the first signal light 91 is located according to the offset between the two, so that the first illumination light 90 reflected from the sample 300 at different heights perpendicular to the surface and at the same point along the sample surface to form the first signal light 91 can be collected at the same position of the first detector 240, so as to calibrate the offset of the light spot caused by the position offset of the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 due to the change in the surface height of the sample 300, thereby realizing automatic correction of the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300 and improving the detection accuracy of the surface of the sample 300.

[0085] In one embodiment, in step S130, Figure 5 As shown, there is no reflective element between the first reflector 110 and the sample 300, and there is no reflective element between the second reflector 220 and the surface of the sample 300; the rotation angles of the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300 are synchronously adjusted by the adjustment module, including: the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 are synchronously adjusted to rotate in opposite directions relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300 by the adjustment module.

[0086] Specifically, when there is no reflective element between the first reflector 110 and the sample 300 and between the second reflector 220 and the sample 300, that is, there is no other reflective element between the first reflector 110 and the sample 300 that changes the oblique incident direction of the first illumination light 90 and the surface of the sample 300, and there is no other reflective element between the second reflector 220 and the sample 300 that changes the direction of the optical path of the first signal light 91 reflected to the second reflector 220, when the rotation method is used for adjustment, the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 can be synchronously adjusted by the adjustment module. 0 is rotated in opposite directions relative to the normal plane of the sample 300 surface, so that the first illumination light 90 reflected from the sample 300 at different heights perpendicular to the surface and at the same point along the sample surface to form the first signal light 91 can be collected at the same position of the first detector 240, so as to calibrate the light spot offset phenomenon caused by the position offset of the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 due to the change of the surface height of the sample 300, thereby realizing automatic correction of the incident position 310 of the first illumination light 90 on the surface of the sample 300 and the position of the light spot 400 formed by the first signal light 91 on the first detector 240.

[0087] In one embodiment, a reflective element may be provided between the first reflector 110 and the sample 300, and a reflective element may also be provided between the second reflector 220 and the sample 300. For example, when an even number of reflective elements are provided between the first reflector 110 and the sample 300, and an even number of reflective elements are provided between the second reflector 220 and the sample 300, the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 may be synchronously adjusted by the adjustment module to rotate in opposite directions relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300. Alternatively, a reflective element may be provided between the first reflector 110 and the sample 300, and a reflective element may also be provided between the second reflector 220 and the sample 300. For example, when an odd number of reflective elements are provided between the first reflector 110 and the sample 300, and an odd number of reflective elements are provided between the second reflector 220 and the sample 300, the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 may be synchronously adjusted by the adjustment module to rotate in opposite directions relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300.

[0088] In another embodiment, when an even number of reflective elements are provided between the first reflector 110 and the sample 300, and a single reflective element is provided between the second reflector 220 and the sample 300, the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 can be synchronously adjusted by the adjustment module to rotate in the same direction relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300. Alternatively, when an odd number of reflective elements are provided between the first reflector 110 and the sample 300, and two single reflective elements are provided between the second reflector 220 and the sample 300, the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 can be synchronously adjusted by the adjustment module to rotate in the same direction relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300.

[0089] For example, two reflective elements are arranged between the first reflector 110 and the sample 300, and the oblique incident direction of the first illumination light 90 and the surface of the sample 300 does not change after the light path of the first illumination light 90 is reflected by the two reflective elements and adjusted. In the case where two reflective elements are arranged between the second reflector 220 and the sample 300, and the light path direction of the first signal light 91 reflected to the second reflector 220 does not change after the light path of the first signal light 91 is adjusted by the two reflective elements, the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 can also be synchronously adjusted to rotate in opposite directions relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300 through the adjustment module.

[0090] In one embodiment, in the monitoring method of the monitoring system, the first reflector 110 and the second reflector 220 are synchronously adjusted by the adjustment module to rotate in opposite directions relative to the normal plane of the surface of the sample 300, including: The first reflector 110 is adjusted by the adjustment module so that the first illumination light 90 has a first change amount on the incident position 310 of the sample 300 parallel to the convergence plane, and the second reflector 220 is adjusted so that the light spot of the first detector 240 has a second change amount at the conjugate point on the object side along the direction of the object side conjugate plane parallel to the photosensitive surface of the first detector 240, and the first change amount is equal to the second change amount.
