Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0027] As shown in the image recognition-based wafer quality analysis method shown in Figure 1 , attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 , S1: a multi-dimensional image acquisition model is constructed through a combination model of a multi-spectrum and a high-resolution fusion camera, two-dimensional images of the wafer under visible light, infrared and ultraviolet light spectrum are acquired, and a structure light three-dimensional reconstruction technology is started synchronously to acquire three-dimensional topography data of the wafer surface, wherein the structure light three-dimensional reconstruction technology adopts 405nm laser projection of a sinusoidal fringe, the frame rate is 30fps, and the single-frame three-dimensional point cloud density is greater than or equal to 100 points / mm².

[0028] It needs to be specifically pointed out that the multi-dimensional image acquisition model is a combination model of multi-spectrum and high-resolution fusion camera, wherein the spectral detection range covers a wide band interval of 380-1100nm, the visible light region of 380-760nm is used to capture wafer surface defects, the near-infrared region of 760-1100nm is used to penetrate the surface coating to detect internal structure abnormalities, and the ultraviolet band of 200-380nm is used to identify the fluorescent characteristic defects of the material, wherein the minimum spectral bandwidth of the system is 10nm, and the narrow band channel of 10nm is subdivided in the visible light interval to realize fine band division, obtain high-resolution imaging components and clear images of each band, and present micron-level wafer details.

[0029] In terms of channel combination, the model adopts a self-defined channel combination mechanism, is equipped with a preset spectral combination mode and a synchronous triggering module, and the preset spectral combination mode includes three scene-based schemes: for regular surface detection, a visible light three-channel red, green and blue and a near-infrared single-channel combination synchronous acquisition is enabled, wafer surface topography and basic material information are quickly obtained, for high-precision defect screening, an ultraviolet channel plus five narrow-band near-infrared channel combination synchronous acquisition is enabled, and subtle material inhomogeneity is identified through multi-band comparison, and for wafers of special process, user-defined channel parameters are supported, for example, three discrete wavebands of 400nm, 800nm and 1000nm are specified for special detection.

[0030] In terms 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 405nm laser projection of sinusoidal stripes, the frame rate is 30fps, and the single-frame three-dimensional point cloud density is ≥100 points / mm², when the wafer is in a position to be detected, the system first triggers the structured light projector to project an encoded grating pattern to the wafer surface, and simultaneously 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 triangulation principle, 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 surface defect contour image and material heterogeneity region image.

[0032] S2: Construct a dynamic adjustment model, apply an adaptive noise suppression algorithm to the collected wafer two-dimensional image, identify noise characteristics through frequency domain analysis, and dynamically adjust filter parameters based on the identification results to achieve targeted noise reduction. The frequency domain analysis includes determining the noise dominant frequency band by calculating the power spectral density and quantifying the noise energy proportion to determine the interference strength.

After the filtering process is completed in the frequency domain, the inverse Fourier transform is used to convert back to the spatial domain, and a real-time feedback mechanism is introduced, with peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity index (SSIM) as indicators, the noise residual is increased by 10% filter strength, and the detail loss is reduced by 10% filter strength, achieving targeted noise suppression and precise preservation of wafer defect details.

[0034] 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 between the edges of the entire region), which is determined as high-frequency noise, a specific frequency point appears as an isolated high-energy peak, which is determined as periodic noise, and the energy distribution has no obvious pattern and covers multiple frequency bands, which is determined as mixed noise.

[0035] 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 , slide the window along the frequency axis, calculate the PSD mean value in each window, and 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.

[0036] The standard for quantifying the noise energy proportion to determine the interference strength is to calculate the ratio of the total energy in the noise dominant frequency band to the total energy in the full frequency band to obtain the noise energy proportion, and to determine the interference strength by comparing the proportion with the set threshold. The specific analysis method includes:

[0039] Analysis of noise energy ratio When r < 10%, it is considered low interference; when 10% ≤ r ≤ 30%, it is considered medium interference; and when r > 30%, it is considered high interference.

[0040] The criteria for distinguishing Gaussian noise, periodic noise, and mixed noise based on spectral patterns are as follows: Gaussian noise: PSD is continuously and uniformly distributed in the high-frequency band, with no obvious peaks, and the proportion of noise energy gradually decreases as the frequency increases; Periodic noise: PSD has sharp peaks at specific frequencies, and the peak energy is more than 5 times that of the surrounding area; Mixed noise: There are both high-frequency uniformly distributed areas and discrete peaks, and the energy proportion of both types of areas exceeds 5%.

[0041] It should be further explained that the standard for dynamically adjusting the filtering parameters based on the recognition results is the standard deviation of the adaptive Gaussian filter for enhancing high-frequency noise, under low interference conditions. Interference High interference The center frequency and bandwidth of the notch filter are calibrated for periodic interference. The calibrated center frequency is the peak frequency coordinate of the periodic noise. (Regarding the bandwidth...)
