Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 The wafer quality analysis method based on image recognition shown includes S1: constructing a multi-dimensional image acquisition model, acquiring two-dimensional images of the wafer under visible light, infrared and ultraviolet spectra, and simultaneously starting structured light three-dimensional reconstruction technology to obtain three-dimensional morphology data of the wafer surface.

[0018] It should be specifically noted that the multi-dimensional image acquisition model is a combination of a multispectral and high-resolution fusion camera. The spectral detection range covers a wide band of 380-1100nm. It captures wafer surface defects through the visible light region of 380-760nm, detects internal structural anomalies by penetrating the surface coating through the near-infrared region of 760-1100nm, and identifies fluorescent defects in materials through the ultraviolet band of 200-380nm. The system's minimum spectral bandwidth is 10nm. Fine band division is achieved by subdividing the visible light region into narrow bands of 10nm, acquiring high-resolution imaging components and clear images of each band, presenting micron-level wafer details.

[0019] Regarding channel combination, the model adopts a custom channel combination mechanism, equipped with preset spectral combination modes and a synchronous triggering module. The preset spectral combination modes include three scenario-based schemes: for conventional surface inspection, it enables simultaneous acquisition of three visible light channels (red, green, and blue) and a single near-infrared channel to quickly obtain wafer surface morphology and basic material information; for high-precision defect screening, it enables simultaneous acquisition of a combination of an ultraviolet channel and five narrow-band near-infrared channels to identify subtle material inhomogeneities through multi-band comparison; for wafers with special processes, it supports user-defined channel parameters, such as specifying three discrete bands of 400nm, 800nm, and 1000nm for specific inspection. In the aspect of acquisition control, the high-resolution fusion camera and the structured light three-dimensional reconstruction system realize precise synchronization in time and space. The structured light three-dimensional reconstruction technology adopts a 405 nm laser to project a sinusoidal fringe, and the frame rate is 30 fps, and the single-frame three-dimensional point cloud density is ≥100 points / mm². When the wafer is in the detection position, the system first triggers the structured light projector to project the coded grating pattern to the wafer surface, and synchronously starts the high-resolution fusion camera to capture the deformed grating image. The three-dimensional topography data of the wafer surface is quickly calculated through the principle of triangulation. The three-dimensional topography data includes surface relief and height data, curvature and slope data, and microstructure three-dimensional model data. At the same time, the high-resolution fusion camera synchronously acquires two-dimensional image data of multiple spectral channels in the same field of view range according to the preset spectral combination mode. The two-dimensional image includes a surface defect contour image and a material heterogeneity region image.

[0020] It needs to be further explained that the multi-dimensional image acquisition model synchronously acquires three-dimensional topography data when acquiring two-dimensional images of the wafer. The two-dimensional image reflects the characteristics of material chemical component difference and surface pollution, and the three-dimensional topography data represents the geometric parameters of wafer warpage, flatness, and defect degree.

[0021] S2: A dynamic adjustment model is constructed, and an adaptive noise suppression algorithm is applied to the acquired wafer two-dimensional image. After identifying the noise characteristics through frequency domain analysis, the filter parameters are dynamically adjusted to realize targeted noise reduction.

After the filtering process is completed in the frequency domain, the inverse Fourier transform is used to convert back to the spatial domain. At the same time, a real-time feedback mechanism is introduced, the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and the structural similarity index (SSIM) are used as indexes, the filter strength is increased by 10% at the noise residual position, and the filter strength is weakened by 10% at the detail loss position, so as to realize targeted noise suppression and accurate preservation of wafer defect details.

[0023] It needs to be further explained that the standard for identifying noise characteristics by analyzing the amplitude spectrum is that high-energy distribution appears in the high-frequency region (the Euclidean distance from any point in the region to the center is greater than one-fourth of the distance from the edge of the entire region), it is determined that it is high-frequency noise, a specific frequency point appears an isolated high-energy peak, it is determined that it is periodic noise, and the energy distribution has no obvious rules and covers multiple frequency bands, it is determined that it is mixed noise.

[0024] The standard for determining the noise dominant frequency band by calculating the power spectral density is to square the amplitude spectrum to obtain the power spectral density (PSD), the formula is , sliding window along the frequency axis, calculating the mean value of PSD in each window, when the window mean value is more than 3 times the signal frequency band mean value, mark the frequency range corresponding to the window as the noise dominant frequency band.

[0025] The standard for judging the interference intensity by quantifying the noise energy ratio is to calculate the ratio of the total energy in the noise dominant frequency band to the total energy of the full frequency band, and the noise energy ratio is obtained. The interference intensity is determined by comparing the ratio with the set threshold. The specific analysis method includes: Extracting the frequency coordinate , the total energy of the full frequency band ; Analyzing the total energy in the noise dominant frequency band , where is the region corresponding to the noise dominant frequency band in the frequency domain, represents the power spectral density at the coordinate in the frequency domain; Analyzing the noise energy ratio , when r < 10%, it is low interference, when 10% ≤ r ≤ 30%, it is medium interference, and when r > 30%, it is high interference.

[0026] The standard for distinguishing Gaussian noise, periodic noise and mixed noise type combined with the spectrum mode is that the Gaussian noise: PSD is continuously and uniformly distributed in the high frequency band, there is no obvious peak, and the noise energy ratio gradually decreases with the increase of frequency, the periodic noise: PSD appears a sharp peak at a specific frequency, the peak energy is more than 5 times the energy of the surrounding area, and the mixed noise: both high-frequency uniform distribution region and discrete peak value exist, and the energy ratio of the two types of regions is more than 5%.

[0027] It needs to be further explained that the standard for dynamically adjusting the filtering parameters based on the identification result is to increase the standard deviation of the adaptive Gaussian filter for high-frequency noise, when , when , when , the center frequency and bandwidth of the notch filter for periodic interference are calibrated, the calibrated center frequency is the peak frequency coordinate of the periodic noise, and the bandwidth , low interference medium interference high interference optimizing wavelet threshold and decomposition layer number for mixed noise, for decomposition layer number low interference medium interference high interference for wavelet threshold the specific analysis mode includes: analyzing noise standard deviation ; analyzing wavelet threshold .
