Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a mechanism for mask plate detection reflection light and transmission light accurate alignment belongs to mask plate detection technical field. BACKGROUND

[0002] Mask plate is high-precision tool used for pattern "negative" transfer in downstream industry product manufacturing process, is the carrier of bearing pattern design and process technology and intellectual property information. Its precision and quality level will directly affect the final downstream product yield. Mask plate realizes batch production by exposing the circuit pattern of the designer to the substrate or wafer of the downstream industry.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of mask plate, optical detection is indispensable. Traditionally, the detection method based on optical principle uses microscope (or microphotographic camera) and light source to detect mask plate, which can effectively detect the existence of defects and record the position, size and shape of defects. The advantage of this method is that the detection speed is fast, and the cost is relatively low, so it is still one of the methods widely used at present.

[0004] But in actual detection, the transmission light source system is often combined with the reflection light source system. The reflection light source system is mainly used for detecting defects on the surface of the mask plate, such as scratches and stains; while the transmission light source system can penetrate the substrate to detect deeper defects, such as the shedding and fracture of the light shielding film. This comprehensive application method improves the comprehensiveness and accuracy of detection.

[0005] In the current mask plate detection equipment, there are two structures of using reflection and transmission light source systems at the same time. One is that the reflection and transmission centers are fixed and aligned, and the platform carrying the mask plate moves. The other is that the platform carrying the mask plate is fixed and does not move, and the reflection and transmission centers move at the same time. The former structure is stable and most commonly used; but this method will lead to a very large equipment, and the size of the mask plate detection is relatively small. The latter structure is not as stable as the former, and it is quite difficult to align the centers of reflection and transmission lenses when moving; but this structure will make the equipment smaller, and the size of the mask plate to be detected will be greatly increased.
