[0042] This embodiment discloses a multi-dimensional defect intelligent detection system for chip packaging as Figure 1 shown, and this system includes the following modules:

[0045] Multi-modal feature fusion module: Based on a cross-modal attention mechanism and a multi-task joint learning model, it fuses electro-thermal data, X-ray voxel features, and 3D topography features;

[0046] Hierarchical defect decision subsystem: Locates the defect area through FastR-CNN, classifies the defect type by a graph convolutional network, and outputs the final defect determination result based on a Bayesian inference network by synthesizing multi-modal evidence.

[0047] Through three processing modules and a subsystem, an electro-thermal-X-ray multi-modal data linkage is formed to achieve the joint detection of internal voids, heat dissipation defects, and appearance defects. In particular, by combining electrical parameters and thermal imaging data, real defects can be finely distinguished from noise interference, greatly reducing the false alarm rate and achieving a higher comprehensive detection rate. Moreover, the cross-modal attention mechanism is used to improve the feature fusion efficiency, and the false alarm rate can be reduced synchronously. In addition, the system supports real-time detection and is applicable to high-precision semiconductor packaging production lines.

[0048] In this embodiment, the electrical parameter matrix is ;

[0049] The thermal imaging matrix is ;

[0050] Among them, V i is the voltage sequence, I j is the current value, T k is the ambient temperature parameter, H l is the humidity parameter, and i, j, k, and l are all positive integers; is the spatio-temporal temperature distribution.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cross-modal attention mechanism is: ;

[0052] Among them, Q i is the query vector from the source modality (such as thermal imaging data), and K j is the key vector from the target modality (such as X-ray data), and represents the dot product (inner product) of the two vectors, used to measure their similarity. The role of T in the formula is to convert the row vector Q i into a column vector for matrix multiplication, and d is the feature dimension.

[0053] In this embodiment, the electro-thermal linkage detection module further includes:

[0054] An electro-thermal coupling analysis model, which establishes the correlation between current density J and heat diffusion through the partial differential equation ; establishing a physical model of current density and heat diffusion can infer the abnormal heat dissipation caused by internal voids in the package, improving the detection rate of internal defects. In particular, by combining electrical parameters (V, I) and thermal imaging data, real defects can be finely distinguished from noise interference, greatly reducing the false alarm rate;

[0056] Specifically, when the current density J passes through the chip conductor, the Joule heat power density is:

[0057] In the formula, J = I / A (current density, I is the current, and A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor);

[0058] σ is the electrical conductivity of the material; the current I and voltage V obtained through electrical performance detection, combined with the geometric parameters of the conductor, can be used to calculate J and ;

[0059] In this embodiment, the X-ray tomography unit uses the FDK algorithm to reconstruct the internal structure of the chip, which is used to detect pin soldering defects or internal microcracks. Its reconstruction formula is: ;

[0060] where μ(r) is the linear attenuation coefficient of the voxel;

[0061] D is the distance from the X-ray source to the detector;

[0062] s is the coordinate on the detector plane, representing the specific position on the X-ray detector;

[0063] r is the voxel position vector in three-dimensional space, that is, the spatial coordinates (x, y, z) of the point to be reconstructed;

[0065] is the projection value measured at the detector position s at the angle , that is, the X-ray attenuation integral;

[0066] h(s’ - s) is the ramp filter;

[0067] The meaning of the formula is to reconstruct the linear attenuation coefficient μ(r) at the voxel r by integrating the data of all projection angles and combining the geometric correction factor .

[0068] X-ray tomography uses the FDK algorithm for reconstruction, which can achieve internal structure analysis at the sub-micron level, accurately detect hidden defects such as pin soldering defects and microcracks. Compared with traditional iterative reconstruction algorithms, the calculation efficiency is higher, meeting the real-time detection requirements of the production line.

[0069] In this embodiment, the 3D structured light imaging unit calculates the absolute phase value through the three-step phase-shifting method , and combines the point cloud registration algorithm to detect pin bending or package deformation, where as follows: ;

[0070] In the formula, I1, I2, and I3 are the intensities of the phase-shifted fringe images.

[0071] The three-step phase-shifting method can resist ambient light interference, with a 3D topography reconstruction accuracy of ±2μm, a single imaging time of ≤10ms, and supports real-time detection of pin bending and package warping in high-speed production lines.

[0072] In this embodiment, the planar vision unit uses an improved rotation-invariant uniform LBP operator combined with a BPNN classifier to identify misspelled words, blurring, and tilting defects of printed symbols. Among them, the LBP operator is as follows: ;

[0073] In the formula, P is the number of neighborhood sampling points, such as P = 8;

[0074] riu2 is the rotation-invariant uniform pattern;

[0075] R is the sampling radius, that is, g c ;

[0076] c represents the gray value of the central pixel, and its value range is determined by the image bit depth. For example, for an 8-bit gray image g c ∈[0, 255], or for a normalized image: g c ∈[0, 1];

[0077] p is the index of the neighborhood pixel, and its value range is p = 0, 1, 2, …, .

[0078] The rotation invariance in the operator can improve the robustness to printed defects such as tilting and displacement, further improving the classification accuracy, and is faster than the traditional CNN method.

[0079] In this embodiment, the total loss function of the multi-task joint learning model is: ;

[0080] where L cls is the cross-entropy classification loss, L reg is the electrical performance parameter regression loss, L recon is the X-ray voxel reconstruction loss, and λ1, λ2, and λ3 are weight coefficients.

[0081] The multi-task joint learning model can achieve collaborative optimization and defect correlation analysis. During the process, by jointly optimizing classification, regression, and reconstruction tasks, the cross-modal feature consistency is improved, and the generalization ability of the model is enhanced. And the electrical performance prediction error L reg is linked with the appearance defect classification L cls to realize the tracing of the root cause of defects.

[0082] In this embodiment, the hierarchical defect decision subsystem locates the defect area through the ROI alignment formula and realizes defect relationship reasoning by combining the GCN node update formula. Specifically:

[0083] The alignment formula is , where S is the feature map downsampling rate;

[0084] The GCN node update formula is ;

[0085] In the formula is the activation function;

[0086] N(i) is the set of neighbor nodes;

[0087] is the learnable weight matrix of the th layer, which is used for feature transformation;

[0088] is the number of layers of the neural network. For example, =0 is the input layer, =L is the output layer;

[0089] is the feature vector of node j in the th layer;

[0090] i represents the current node, and its value range is all nodes in the graph (which is the node set);

[0091] j represents the neighbor node of node i, and its value range is j∈N(i), where N(i) is the set of adjacent nodes of node i;

[0092] By adopting the ROI alignment and GCN node update formula through the hierarchical defect decision system, it is ensured that the ROI alignment error ≤ 1 pixel, avoiding missing detection of defect areas. Moreover, GCN aggregates neighbor nodes to identify the spatial distribution pattern of defects (such as continuous bending of multiple pins), and the classification accuracy of complex defects can be further improved.

[0093] In addition, this system can also be additionally integrated with a data preprocessing module to perform wavelet transform denoising on thermal imaging data and anisotropic diffusion filtering on X-ray projection data.

[0094] It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications shall fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
