Description

[0002] In the field of production and processing, in order to better carry out production and processing or inspection work, lenses are often needed to observe the products to be processed. In order to meet relevant processing needs, some processing or inspection equipment is often directly installed with camera modules.

[0081] The light source module 11 includes a light source mechanism and a first moving mechanism 112. The light source mechanism includes two light source components 1111 that are arranged opposite to each other and are in an arc shape as a whole, so as to effectively provide a ring light source. The first moving mechanism 112 includes two first moving components 1121 that are arranged opposite to each other. The moving ends of each first moving component 1121 are respectively connected to the corresponding light source components 1111.

[0083] The second moving component 1222 can drive the zoom mechanism to move in a direction perpendicular to the first moving component 1121 can drive the light source component 1111 to move in a direction perpendicular to each other. Such a structural design can reduce the control difficulty requirement while meeting the requirement of switching zooms.

[0084] The plurality of light source components 1111 in the light source mechanism can be driven by the corresponding moving ends of the first moving components 1121 to jointly enclose a ring-shaped area, and the space formed by the inner side wall of the ring-shaped area can accommodate each of the magnifying lens components 1211;

[0089] In this embodiment, each of the first moving components 1121 includes a first linear motor and a light source component connecting frame 11213;

[0090] The fixed end 11211 of the first linear motor constitutes the fixed end of the first moving assembly 1121, the movable end 11212 of the first linear motor is connected to the light source assembly connecting frame 11213, and the movable end 11212 of the first linear motor and the light source assembly connecting frame 11213 together constitute the moving end of the first moving assembly 1121;

[0091] The movable end of the linear motor is connected to the light source assembly 1111 via the light source assembly connecting frame 11213 .

[0092] In this embodiment, the fixed end of each of the first moving components 1121 further includes a first fixed plate;

[0093] The fixed end 11211 of the first linear motor is connected to the first fixing plate.

[0094] In this embodiment, the second moving assembly 1222 includes a second linear motor;

[0095] The movable end 12222 of the second linear motor constitutes the movable end of the second movable assembly 1222, and the fixed end 12221 of the second linear motor constitutes the fixed end of the second movable assembly 1222. A through hole 122221 is also provided on the fixed end 12221 of the second linear motor, so that the image passing through the lens assembly 1211 can be transmitted to the image capture module 13 through the through hole 122221.

[0096] The first linear motor and the second linear motor can both be formed by linear motors in the prior art, and their principles are not described in detail. The light source assembly connecting frame 11213 serves to connect the light source assembly 1111 and the first moving assembly 1121, and it can be formed in the shape structure shown in the figure, or in other shapes and structures, and is not limited to the illustrated example.

[0097] In other embodiments, the fixed end of each first moving assembly 1121 may also include a first slide rail and a first fixed plate, the moving end of each first moving assembly 1121 includes a first slider and a light source assembly connecting frame 11213, and each first moving assembly 1121 also includes a first driving component;

[0098] The first sliding block is arranged on the track of the first sliding rail;

[0099] The light source assembly connecting frame 11213 is respectively connected to the first sliding block and the corresponding light source assembly;

[0100] The fixed end of the first driving component is connected to the first slide rail, and the movable end of the first driving component is connected to the first slider. The first slider can move along the track of the first slide rail under the drive of the first driving component.

[0101] The first slide rail is fixed to the first fixing plate, and the fixed end of the first driving component is connected to the first slide rail through the first fixing plate.

[0102] The fixed end of each second movable assembly 1222 may further include a second slide rail and a second fixed plate, the movable end of each second movable assembly 1222 includes a second slider, and each second movable assembly 1222 further includes a second driving component;

[0103] The second sliding block is disposed on the track of the second sliding rail, and the second sliding block is also connected to the magnifying lens fixing assembly 1212;

[0106] In this embodiment, the visual inspection device 1 is provided with an overall arc-shaped light source assembly. Each light source assembly can be separated or merged into an annular area under the drive of the first moving mechanism 112, thereby meeting the demand for providing an annular light source. At the same time, the control demand can be reduced during the switching of the zoom lens. The zoom lens mechanism only needs to move in the horizontal direction and does not need to move in the vertical direction. Such a structural design can effectively reduce the difficulty of control while ensuring that the zoom lens can be moved into place, thereby reducing the production cost of the device.

[0107] Second embodiment:

[0108] During wafer inspection, different inspection tasks require different magnification lenses for observation. The traditional lens switching method is often complicated and time-consuming, affecting inspection efficiency. In addition, frequent manual lens switching may also cause lens damage and reduced accuracy.

[0109] At the same time, lighting conditions are crucial when inspecting wafers. Wafers usually have smooth surfaces that are prone to reflections and shadows. If traditional point or surface light sources are used, uneven lighting may occur on the wafer surface, causing some areas to be too bright or too dark, affecting the observation and analysis of wafer features. Moreover, during the inspection process, the reflected light on the wafer surface may interfere with the imaging of the inspection equipment, causing the image to become blurred or reflective highlights to appear.

[0110] Ring light has many advantages in wafer inspection. Ring light can form a uniform lighting environment around the inspection object, so that all parts of the wafer can receive the same intensity of light, whether it is the center area or the edge of the wafer, the details can be clearly presented. Its special structure can effectively reduce the generation of shadows. The light from various angles complements each other, reducing the shadows caused by single-direction light. At the same time, ring light can reduce the intensity of reflection, making the reflected light more dispersed and reducing the impact on detection. In addition, ring light is very effective in highlighting the edges and contours of the wafer. When light from the ring light source is irradiated onto the wafer, the edge of the wafer will form a clear contrast between light and dark, making the edge more clearly visible.

[0111] If the integrated ring light source in the prior art is directly used to provide lighting, this will result in the automatic switching lens equipped with the ring light being a lens group with multiple lenses (i.e., a lens assembly) arranged horizontally on the horizontal X-axis, and the working lens is inserted into the ring light. When the lens needs to be switched, the x-axis is lifted up by the vertical z-axis as a whole, and the x-axis moves horizontally so that another lens is aligned with the ring light, and then the z-axis is lowered so that another lens is inserted into the ring light. The technical structure is cumbersome, and the z-axis cannot restore the vertical height of the lens to the initial value due to the limitation of repeatability accuracy.

[0112] To solve the above problems, Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a wafer inspection system is provided, which includes a rack device 2, a stage device 3, a master control device 4 and a visual inspection device 1;

[0113] The frame device 2 includes a visual inspection device 1 bearing mechanism, a stage bearing mechanism 22 and a master control device bearing mechanism 23;

[0114] Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the general control device supporting mechanism 23 is composed of a frame mechanism located on the ground, and the stage supporting mechanism 22 is located above the frame mechanism. In specific implementation, the stage supporting mechanism 22 and the general control device supporting mechanism 23 are air-floatedly connected via an air-floating connection assembly, and the visual inspection device 1 supporting mechanism is composed of a beam located above the stage supporting mechanism 22.

[0115] The fixed end of each of the first moving components 1121 and the fixed end of the second moving components 1222 are connected to the visual inspection device supporting mechanism 21;

[0116] The stage device 3 is connected to the stage bearing mechanism 22;

[0117] The master control device 4 is arranged on the master control device supporting mechanism 23, and is respectively connected to the first moving component 1121, the second moving component 1222 and the stage device 3. The master control device 4 may include a control box and a control device composed of a programmable logic controller, a single chip microcomputer, a detection system computer or other control devices with control functions in the prior art. The relevant control equipment can respectively control the operation of components such as the light source component 1111, the first moving component 1121, the second moving component 1222, the image capture module 13 and the stage device 3. The specific control logic is not the inventive point of this solution, so it will not be elaborated in this application. Figure 5 Only the control box is drawn.

[0118] The stage device 3 in this embodiment is used to carry the wafer to be tested or processed. The stage device 3 can be composed of a stage in the prior art, so its specific structure is not described in detail in this application.

The second moving mechanism includes a second moving component 1222. The moving end of the second moving component 1222 is connected to the magnifying lens fixing component 1212.

[0123] The second moving component 1222 can drive the zoom mechanism to move in a direction perpendicular to the first moving component 1121 can drive the light source component 1111 to move in a direction perpendicular to each other. Such a structural design can reduce the control difficulty requirement while meeting the requirement of switching zooms.

[0124] The plurality of light source components 1111 in the light source mechanism can be driven by the corresponding moving ends of the first moving components 1121 to jointly enclose a ring-shaped area, and the space formed by the inner side wall of the ring-shaped area can accommodate each of the magnifying lens components 1211;

[0125] The plurality of light source assemblies 1111 may also be separated and moved in a direction away from the adjacent light source assemblies 1111 under the driving of the corresponding moving end of the first moving assembly 1121, so as to form an avoidance channel between the light source assemblies 1111;

[0126] The zoom lens fixing component 1212 can be driven by the moving end of the second moving component 1222 to drive the corresponding zoom lens component 1211 to move into or out of the space between the plurality of light source components through the avoidance channel.

[0127] In this embodiment, each of the first moving components 1121 includes a first linear motor and a light source component connecting frame 11213;

[0129] The movable end of the linear motor is connected to the light source assembly through the light source assembly connecting frame.

[0130] In this embodiment, the fixed end of each of the first moving components 1121 further includes a first fixed plate 11214;

[0134] As shown in the figure, the fixed end of the second movable component 1222 in this embodiment is directly connected to the image capturing module 13. In other embodiments, the fixed end of the second movable component 1222 can also be connected to the rack device 2 in other connection forms.

[0135] In this embodiment, a new lens switching method is adopted, and the ring light is made into two semicircular shapes. When the lens needs to be switched, the two ring lights are turned on, and the x-axis carrying the lens moves horizontally to switch the lens. After the lens is in place, the two semicircular ring lights are closed to cover the lens. The position of the lens (i.e., the lens assembly 1211) in the vertical direction is always kept fixed, so that there is no adverse effect on the stability of the lens, and the defect detection requirements for wafers are effectively met.
