Description
本發明係有關於一種光學檢測系統及光學檢測方法,尤其是指一種用於檢測晶圓吸盤殘膠之光學檢測系統及光學檢測方法。The present invention relates to an optical inspection system and an optical inspection method, in particular to an optical inspection system and an optical inspection method for detecting residual glue on a wafer chuck.
在半導體技術中,晶圓處理是相當重要而不可或缺的一環。在一些晶圓處理製程中,會將晶圓進行多個階段的切割,如為了劃分為多個處理區而預切溝槽,又譬如切斷成多個小晶片,藉以進行紫光照射或其他處理製程。In semiconductor technology, wafer processing is a very important and indispensable part. In some wafer processing processes, the wafer is cut in multiple stages, such as pre-cutting grooves for dividing into multiple processing areas, or cutting into multiple small chips for ultraviolet light irradiation or other processing. Process.
由於在對晶圓進行多個階段的切割後,為了補強支撐晶圓片或將多個被切斷的小晶片排列整齊,同時,也為了要能夠配合光學相關製程的作業需要,往往需要將一透光性膠膜貼附於晶圓片上,並利用晶圓吸盤吸附晶片。在完成相關的加工處理作業後,需要移除透光性膠膜以進行後續的處理作業,然而,這些透光性膠膜通常是由透明膠膜本體與黏著劑所組成,在移除透光性膠膜時,有可能會在晶圓吸盤上殘留有殘膠。所謂的殘膠可能包含零碎的透明膠膜本體與黏著劑,也可能只包含零星的黏著劑。After the wafer is cut in multiple stages, in order to strengthen the support of the wafer or to arrange multiple cut small chips in order, at the same time, in order to be able to meet the operational needs of the optical-related process, it is often necessary to The light-transmitting adhesive film is attached to the wafer, and the wafer is sucked by a wafer chuck. After completing the related processing operations, the translucent film needs to be removed for subsequent processing operations. However, these translucent films are usually composed of a transparent film body and an adhesive. In the case of the adhesive film, there may be residual glue on the wafer chuck. The so-called residual glue may include fragments of the transparent film body and adhesive, or it may only contain scattered adhesives.
一旦晶圓吸盤仍殘留有殘膠,則會對後續製程造成不良的影響,因此需要借助光學檢測設備來檢測晶圓吸盤上是否仍有殘膠的殘留。在先前的光學檢測技術中,在檢測光束照射到晶圓吸盤時,會從晶圓吸盤反射,因此,在會造成所擷取的晶圓吸盤檢測影像上有許多光亮的反射區塊,進而導致無法有效分辨出在光亮的反射區塊所對應的晶圓吸盤的各個檢測區域中究竟是否仍存在殘膠。Once the wafer chuck still has adhesive residue, it will have an adverse effect on the subsequent process. Therefore, optical inspection equipment is needed to detect whether there is still adhesive residue on the wafer chuck. In the previous optical inspection technology, when the inspection beam irradiates the wafer chuck, it will be reflected from the wafer chuck. Therefore, there will be many bright reflection areas on the captured wafer chuck inspection image, which will lead to It is impossible to effectively distinguish whether there is residual glue in each detection area of the wafer chuck corresponding to the bright reflective area.
在先前技術中,為了避免在晶圓吸盤上殘留有殘膠而對後續製程造成不良的影響,較為保守的作法是在進行涉及使用透光性膠膜的製程後,不論晶圓吸盤上是否確實存在殘膠,一律對晶圓吸盤進行全面性的殘膠清除作業,譬如;將晶圓吸盤浸泡至脫膠溶劑中溶膠)。如此一來,將會導致整體製程時間變長而缺乏效率。In the prior art, in order to avoid residual glue on the wafer chuck and adversely affect the subsequent process, a more conservative approach is to perform a process involving the use of light-transmitting adhesive film, regardless of whether the wafer chuck is actually on. If there is residual glue, the wafer chuck is always cleaned up, such as immersing the wafer chuck in the degumming solvent. As a result, it will lead to a longer overall process time and inefficiency.
有鑒於先前技術中,普遍存在因為反光的影響而無法有效辨識出晶圓吸盤的各個檢測區域中究竟是否仍存在殘膠,甚至導致需要進行全面性的殘膠清除作業而造成整體製程時間變長等問題。本發明主要之目的在於提供一種專用於檢測殘膠的光學檢測技術,藉以確實檢測出晶圓吸盤上的殘膠殘留狀況,以判斷是否需要清除殘膠,或作為選擇殘膠清除方式的參考依據。In view of the fact that in the prior art, it is generally impossible to effectively identify whether there is residual glue in each inspection area of the wafer chuck due to the influence of light reflection, and even lead to the need to carry out a comprehensive residual glue removal operation, resulting in a longer overall process time. And other issues. The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an optical detection technology dedicated to detecting residual glue, so as to accurately detect the residual glue residue on the wafer chuck to determine whether the residual glue needs to be removed, or as a reference for selecting the residual glue removal method .
本發明為解決先前技術之問題,所採用之必要技術手段為提供一種用於檢測晶圓吸盤殘膠之光學檢測系統,其係設置於一包含有一晶圓吸盤之晶圓處理製程設備,且晶圓吸盤具有一用以吸附一晶圓之吸附平面。光學檢測系統係用以將一透光性膠膜自該晶圓移除後,在一暗場環境中檢測該晶圓吸盤上是否仍殘留至少一透光性殘膠,並且包含一照明模組、一影像擷取模組與一影像分析模組。In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the necessary technical means adopted by the present invention is to provide an optical inspection system for detecting the residual glue of the wafer chuck, which is set in a wafer processing equipment including a wafer chuck, and the wafer The circular sucker has a suction plane for sucking a wafer.

當晶圓吸盤上殘留有透光性殘膠時,檢測光束係自透光性殘膠之一第一邊緣投射入透光性殘膠,經過透光性殘膠全反射後,自透光性殘膠之一第二邊緣投射出,且檢測光束係在第一邊緣與該第二邊緣對影像擷取模組投射出至少一散射光束,藉以在晶圓吸盤檢測影像中呈現出散射邊界輪廓。When there is translucent residue on the wafer chuck, the detection beam is projected from one of the first edges of the translucent residue into the translucent residue. After the translucent residue is totally reflected, the light is self-transmitting A second edge of the residual glue is projected, and the detection light beam projects at least one scattered light beam to the image capturing module on the first edge and the second edge, thereby presenting a scattering boundary contour in the detection image of the wafer chuck.
在上述必要技術手段的基礎下,較佳者,照明模組可包含至少一線照明組件,且每一線照明組件包含複數個線性排列之照明元件。或者,照明模組也可為一環形照明組件,環形照明組件可包含一環狀本體與複數個設置在環狀本體之一環形內壁之照明元件。Based on the above-mentioned necessary technical means, preferably, the lighting module may include at least one line of lighting components, and each line of lighting components includes a plurality of linearly arranged lighting elements. Alternatively, the lighting module may also be a ring-shaped lighting assembly, and the ring-shaped lighting assembly may include a ring-shaped body and a plurality of lighting elements arranged on a ring-shaped inner wall of the ring-shaped body.
在上述必要技術手段的基礎下,較佳者,影像擷取模組可包含一透鏡組與一影像感測裝置,透鏡組與影像感測裝置係沿一成像中心軸而設置,且成像中心軸係經過晶圓吸盤。影像感測裝置可為一互補式金屬氧化物半導體(CMOS)影像感測器或一電荷耦合器件(CCD)。在成像中心軸與吸附平面之間的關係方面,成像中心軸可垂直或傾斜於吸附平面。Based on the above necessary technical means, preferably, the image capturing module may include a lens group and an image sensing device, the lens group and the image sensing device are arranged along an imaging central axis, and the imaging central axis The system passes through the wafer suction cup. The image sensing device can be a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor or a charge coupled device (CCD). In terms of the relationship between the imaging center axis and the adsorption plane, the imaging center axis can be perpendicular or inclined to the adsorption plane.
本發明為解決先前技術之問題,所採用之另一必要技術手段為提供一種用於檢測晶圓吸盤殘膠之光學檢測方法,其係一種用於檢測晶圓吸盤殘膠之光學檢測方法,係用於將一透光性膠膜自一晶圓移除後,在一暗場環境中檢測至少一用於吸附晶圓之晶圓吸盤上是否仍殘留至少一透光性殘膠,晶圓吸盤具有一用以吸附該晶圓之吸附平面。In order to solve the problem of the prior art, another necessary technical means adopted by the present invention is to provide an optical inspection method for detecting the adhesive residue of the wafer chuck. It is an optical inspection method for detecting the adhesive residue of the wafer chuck. After removing a light-transmitting adhesive film from a wafer, in a dark field environment, it is used to detect whether at least one light-transmitting residual glue remains on at least one wafer chuck for absorbing the wafer. Wafer chuck It has a suction plane for sucking the wafer.
在該光學檢測方法中,係先沿一投射方向對晶圓吸盤投射出一檢測光束,且投射方向與吸附平面之間的夾角為0度至10度。在檢測光束投射至該晶圓吸盤後,進一步擷取晶圓吸盤之至少一晶圓吸盤檢測影像。最後,分析晶圓吸盤檢測影像是否存在至少一對應於透光性殘膠之散射邊界輪廓。In the optical detection method, a detection beam is first projected to the wafer chuck along a projection direction, and the angle between the projection direction and the suction plane is 0 to 10 degrees. After the inspection beam is projected to the wafer chuck, at least one wafer chuck inspection image of the wafer chuck is further captured. Finally, analyze the wafer chuck to detect whether there is at least one scattering boundary contour corresponding to the translucent residual glue in the image.
在執行該光學檢測方法時,若晶圓吸盤上殘留有透光性殘膠,檢測光束係自透光性殘膠之一第一邊緣投射入透光性殘膠,經過透光性殘膠全反射後,自透光性殘膠膜之一第二邊緣投射出,且檢測光束係在第一邊緣與第二邊投射出至少一散射光束,藉以在至少一晶圓檢測影像中呈現出該散射邊界輪廓。When performing the optical inspection method, if there is translucent residue on the wafer chuck, the detection beam is projected from the first edge of one of the translucent residues into the translucent residue, and passes through the translucent residue. After reflection, it is projected from a second edge of the translucent residual glue film, and the detection beam projects at least one scattered beam on the first edge and the second side, so that the scattered beam is displayed in the at least one wafer detection image Border outline.
在上述必要技術手段的基礎下,較佳者,在分析晶圓吸盤檢測影像是否存在至少一對應於透光性殘膠之散射邊界輪廓後,可進一步藉由散射邊界輪廓分析出該至少一透光性殘膠之數量、面積或分布位置。更佳者,可更進一步依據所分析出之透光性殘膠之數量、面積或分布位置而發出一殘膠建議清除方式提示信息。On the basis of the above-mentioned necessary technical means, it is better to analyze whether there is at least one scattering boundary contour corresponding to the translucent residual glue in the image detected by the wafer chuck, and then the at least one transmission boundary contour can be further analyzed by the scattering boundary contour. The quantity, area, or distribution location of the optical residue. Even better, it can further send out a reminder message of the suggested removal method for the residual glue based on the analyzed quantity, area or distribution position of the translucent residual glue.
承上所述,由於在本發明所提供之用於檢測晶圓吸盤殘膠之光學檢測技術(包含系統與方法)中,係針對透光性殘膠存在的兩個特性,即「透光性殘膠本身可透光,且折射率大於空氣」以及「透光性殘膠的邊緣多為不平整的撕裂邊緣」因此,利用在暗場環境中以低角度照明的方式,使檢測光束在透光性殘膠的邊緣產生散射現象,並在透光性殘膠內部產生全反射現象。因此,可藉由分析晶圓吸盤檢測影像是否存在散射邊界輪廓來精確判斷晶圓吸盤上是否存在透光性殘膠。當存在透光性殘膠時,可進一步精確分析出透光性殘膠之數量、面積或分布位置,藉以發出一殘膠建議清除方式提示信息,以作為選擇殘膠清除方式的參考依據,使殘膠清除工作能更有效率地進行。Based on the above, because the optical inspection technology (including system and method) provided by the present invention for detecting the adhesive residue of the wafer chuck, it is based on the two characteristics of the translucent adhesive residue, that is, the "transmittance" The residual glue itself can transmit light, and the refractive index is greater than that of air" and "the edges of the translucent residual glue are mostly uneven torn edges." Therefore, the detection beam is illuminated at a low angle in a dark field environment. Scattering occurs at the edges of the translucent residual glue, and total reflection occurs inside the translucent residual glue. Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine whether there is translucent residual glue on the wafer chuck by analyzing the detection image of the wafer chuck to determine whether there is a scattering boundary contour. When there is translucent residual glue, the quantity, area or distribution position of translucent residual glue can be further analyzed accurately, so as to send out a reminder message of the recommended removal method of residual glue, which can be used as a reference basis for selecting the residual glue removal method. The removal of residual glue can be carried out more efficiently.
由於本發明所提供之用於檢測晶圓吸盤殘膠之光學檢測技術(包含系統與方法),可廣泛運用於將各種晶圓處理製程設備的晶圓吸盤殘膠檢測,在相關元件的等效元件置換和設置位置的選擇上皆可據此做出種種局部性的調整與改良,其組合實施方式更是不勝枚舉,故在此不再一一贅述,僅列舉其中較佳的三個實施例來加以具體說明。此外,在各實施例中的圖式均採用非常簡化的形式,各元件之間並非使用絕對精準的比例加以呈現,僅用以方便、明晰地輔助說明本發明實施例的目的與功效。Since the optical inspection technology (including systems and methods) provided by the present invention for detecting the adhesive residue of the wafer chuck can be widely used to detect the adhesive residue of the wafer chuck of various wafer processing equipment, it is equivalent to the relevant components.

光學檢測系統1係用以將一透光性膠膜(未繪製)自晶圓移除後,在一暗場環境中檢測晶圓吸盤21上是否仍殘留至少一透光性殘膠(在本實施例中晶圓吸盤21存在三透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c),並且包含一照明模組11、一影像擷取模組12與一影像分析模組13。所述之暗場環境,是指在晶圓處理製程設備2內部的一個內部環境空間,且在該內部環境空間中的背景亮度是遠小於照明模組11對該內部環境空間中被照射區域提供照明所產生的亮度,導致背景亮度對檢測結果的影響可以忽略不計。The

The second figure is a schematic diagram showing the detection beam scatters at the edge of the translucent residual glue in the first embodiment of the present invention and produces total reflection inside the translucent residual glue; the third figure shows the first implementation of the present invention In the example, when light-transmitting residue remains on the wafer chuck, a scattering boundary contour will appear in the inspection image of the wafer chuck; the fourth figure is a flowchart of the corresponding optical inspection method in the first embodiment of the present invention.
如第一圖至第四圖所示,在例用本發明第一實施例所提供之光學檢測系統1檢測晶圓吸盤21上是否殘留透光性殘膠時,可依循一光學檢測方法中的以下各步驟加以實施。As shown in Figures 1 to 4, when the
首先,可利用照明模組11沿一投射方向對晶圓吸盤21投射出至少一檢測光束,在本實施例中,照明模組11中的線照明組件111與112可同時或先後單獨對晶圓吸盤21投射出檢測光束,本實施例中僅繪製線照明組件111係沿一投射方向ID對晶圓吸盤21投射出二檢測光束(圖中僅標示其中一檢測光束ILB),且此處的檢測光束ILB是指由複數個照明元件1111所投射出之光束的集合。投射方向ID與吸附平面211之間的夾角θ為0度至10度(包含0度、10度與0度至10度之間的任一角度)(步驟S110)。在本實施例中,較佳者,檢測光束ILB平貼於吸附平面211而投射,亦即投射方向ID與吸附平面211之間的夾角θ為0度。First, the
在透光性膠膜(未繪製)自晶圓移除後,用以吸附晶圓的晶圓吸盤21可能有透光性殘膠殘留,也可能沒有透光性殘膠殘留,在本實施例中,係以晶圓吸盤21有透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c殘留為例。透光性殘膠多半是透光性膠膜被撕開後殘留在晶圓或晶圓吸盤21上所形的,因此,透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c具有以下兩個特性。第一個特性為透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c具有透光性,且折射率小於空氣。第二個特性為透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c的邊緣為不平整的邊緣。眾所周知的,由於透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c的邊緣是因為透光性膠膜撕裂斷開而產生的,所以為不平整的邊緣,所謂不平整包含撕裂造成的拉伸斷裂厚度不一致所造成的邊緣厚度不平整與具有撕裂缺口所造成的邊緣輪廓不平整。After the translucent adhesive film (not drawn) is removed from the wafer, the
照明模組11沿投射方向ID對晶圓吸盤21投射出檢測光束ILB後,可利用影像擷取模組12擷取晶圓吸盤21之至少一晶圓吸盤檢測影像(步驟S120),在第三圖中呈現出其中一晶圓吸盤檢測影像CI。由於成像中心軸IA與晶圓吸盤21之吸附平面211之間存在一夾角Φ1,所擷取之原始晶圓吸盤檢測影像邊緣輪廓並非正圓形,上述之晶圓吸盤檢測影像CI是經過修正後模擬夾角Φ1為90度時所擷取之影像。After the
在檢測光束ILB平貼於晶圓吸盤21投射出,或者投射方向ID與吸附平面211之間的夾角θ為10度以下時,若晶圓吸盤21不存在任何殘留的透光性殘膠,則檢測光束ILB也會平貼於晶圓吸盤21投射出,或以沿一與吸附平面211較低夾角的方向反射出,導致影像擷取模組12幾乎感測不到任何檢測光束ILB所產生的光亮。When the detection beam ILB is flatly attached to the
倘若晶圓吸盤21上殘留有本實施例所示之透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c,當檢測光束ILB投射至透光性殘膠3a時,會自透光性殘膠3a之一第一邊緣31a投射入透光性殘膠3a之透光性殘膠本體32a內,再經自透光性殘膠3a之一第二邊緣33a投射出。If the light-transmitting
由於透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c的邊緣為不平整的邊緣,所以檢測光束ILB會在第一邊緣31a與第二邊緣33a產生散射現象而分別投射出散射光束SLB1與SLB2。又由於透光性殘膠3a具有透光性,折射率小於空氣,而且上述之夾角θ為0度至10度的緣故,因此檢測光束ILB會在透光性殘膠本體32a產生全反射現象而不會反射至透光性殘膠3a外。針對透光性殘膠3b與3c也有相類似的光學現象。由於上述種種原因,影像擷取模組12只會感測到產生在透光性殘膠3a邊緣(包含第一邊緣31a與第二邊緣33a)之散射光束(包含散射光束SLB1與SLB2)。Since the edges of the translucent
在擷取晶圓吸盤檢測影像CI後,可利用影像分析模組13分析晶圓吸盤檢測影像CI是否存在至少一對應於透光性殘膠之散射邊界輪廓(步驟S130)。在本實施例步驟120中,因為晶圓吸盤21殘留有透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c,影像擷取模組12只會感測到產生在透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c邊緣之散射光束,因此,在所擷取之晶圓吸盤檢測影像CI中,會呈現出對應於透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c邊緣輪廓的三個散射邊界輪廓BP3a、BP3b與BP3c。此時,影像分析模組13會分析出有散射邊界輪廓存在,據此判斷出透光性殘膠殘留在晶圓吸盤21。After capturing the wafer chuck detection image CI, the
相反地,若晶圓吸盤21不存在任何殘留的透光性殘膠,影像擷取模組12就幾乎感測不到任何檢測光束ILB所產生的光亮,所以吸盤檢測影像呈現出幾乎一片漆黑的結果,導致影像分析模組13分析出不存在任何散射邊界輪廓,據此判斷出沒有任何透光性殘膠殘留在晶圓吸盤21上。Conversely, if the
在影像分析模組13分析出存在散射邊界輪廓後,可進一步分析出透光性殘膠之數量、面積或分布位置(步驟S140)。在本實施例中,影像分析模組13可分析出晶圓吸盤檢測影像CI存在三個散射邊界輪廓BP3a、BP3b與BP3c,據此可分析出透光性殘膠之數量、面積或分布位置。在本實施例中,影像分析模組13可分析出晶圓吸盤21殘留有三個透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c,並可利用晶圓吸盤檢測影像CI,結合影像擷取模組12與晶圓吸盤21之間的距離、夾角Φ1、透鏡放大倍率與影像分析模組13內建之座標系,分析出透光性殘膠3a、3b與3c的面積或分布位置。After the
較佳者,影像分析模組13可進一步依據透光性殘膠之數量、面積或分布位置而發出一殘膠建議清除方式提示信息。殘膠建議清除方式提示信息可以作為選擇殘膠清除方式的參考依據,使殘膠清除工作能更有效率地進行(步驟S150)。Preferably, the
譬如:若無透光性殘膠殘留,可判斷為對後續製程不會造成的負面影響,建議不需要清除。若殘留之透光性殘膠之數量較少,面積較小,或分布位置較為集中時,可判斷為對後續製程所造成的負面影響較小,建議暫時不清除或選擇只作局部性清除的方式來清除殘膠。若透光性殘膠之數量較多,面積較大或分布位置較為分散時,可判斷為對後續製程會造成較大的負面影響,建議應立即以進行全面性清除的方式來清除殘膠。For example: if there is no translucent residual glue, it can be judged that it will not cause a negative impact on the subsequent process, and it is recommended that it does not need to be removed. If the amount of remaining translucent residual glue is small, the area is small, or the distribution location is relatively concentrated, it can be judged that the negative impact on the subsequent process is small, and it is recommended not to remove it temporarily or choose to remove it only locally Way to remove residual glue. If the amount of translucent residual glue is large, the area is large or the distribution position is relatively scattered, it can be judged that it will have a greater negative impact on the subsequent process. It is recommended that the residual glue should be removed immediately by a comprehensive removal method.
參閱第五圖,其係顯示本發明第二實施例所提供之用於檢測晶圓吸盤殘膠之光學檢測系統之影像擷取模組設置位置示意圖。在本發明第二實施例中,照明模組11和第一實施例相同,也包含兩個線照明組件,且兩個線照明組件的位置與第一實施例相同,第五圖中僅繪製其中一個線照明組件111作為代表。第二實施例與第一實施例之差異在於當晶圓吸盤21的上方不存在晶圓處理製程設備中的其他元件(如滾筒)時,可將影像擷取模組12直接設置於晶圓吸盤21的正上方,也就是使成像中心軸IA穿過晶圓吸盤21的中心,並且垂直於吸附平面211。換言之,也就是使成像中心軸IA與吸附平面211之間所存在的夾角Φ2為90度。Refer to the fifth figure, which is a schematic diagram showing the position of the image capturing module of the optical inspection system for detecting the adhesive residue of the wafer chuck provided by the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the
參閱第六圖,其係顯示本發明第三實施例所提供之用於檢測晶圓吸盤殘膠之光學檢測系統之照明模組與影像擷取模組設置位置示意圖。在本發明第三實施例中,與第一實施例之差異在於以一另一照明模組14取代照明模組11,照明模組14為一環形照明組件,環形照明組件可包含一環狀本體141與複數個設置在環狀本體141之一環形內壁1411之照明元件142。環狀本體141可直接結合在第一圖所示的檢測基座22上,各照明元件142分別沿各自的投射相向對晶圓吸盤21投射出檢測光束,且上述各自的投射方向與晶圓吸盤21的吸附平面211之間的夾角皆相同,且同樣是在0度至10度的範圍內。Refer to the sixth figure, which is a schematic diagram showing the arrangement positions of the lighting module and the image capturing module of the optical inspection system for detecting the adhesive residue of the wafer chuck provided by the third embodiment of the present invention. In the third embodiment of the present invention, the difference from the first embodiment is that the
使用環形照明組件的好處在於每個照明元件142與晶圓吸盤21邊緣的距離大致相等,使檢測光束對晶圓吸盤照射的光場型分布較為均勻。此外,影像擷取模組12也直接設置於晶圓吸盤21的正上方,使成像中心軸IA與吸附平面211之間所存在的夾角Φ3為90度。The advantage of using the ring-shaped lighting assembly is that the distance between each
綜上所述,由於在本發明所提供之由於在本發明所提供之用於檢測晶圓吸盤殘膠之光學檢測技術(包含系統與方法)中,充分利用透光性殘膠存在的兩個特性,即「透光性殘膠本身可透光,且折射率大於空氣」以及「透光性殘膠的邊緣多為不平整的撕裂邊緣」因此,配合在暗場環境中以低角度照明的方式,使檢測光束在透光性殘膠的邊緣產生散射現象,並在透光性殘膠內部產生全反射現象。因此,可藉由分析晶圓吸盤檢測影像是否存在散射邊界輪廓來精確判斷晶圓吸盤上是否存在透光性殘膠。當存在透光性殘膠時,可進一步精確分析出透光性殘膠之數量、面積或分布位置,藉以發出一殘膠建議清除方式提示信息,以作為選擇殘膠清除方式的參考依據,使殘膠清除工作能更有效率地進行。To sum up, in the optical inspection technology (including system and method) provided by the present invention for detecting the adhesive residue of the wafer chuck, it makes full use of two of the transparent adhesive residues. Characteristics, that is, "the translucent residual glue itself can transmit light, and the refractive index is greater than air" and "the edges of the translucent residual glue are mostly uneven torn edges." Therefore, it is matched with low-angle illumination in a dark field environment In this way, the detection beam scatters at the edge of the translucent residual glue, and produces total reflection inside the translucent residual glue. Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine whether there is translucent residual glue on the wafer chuck by analyzing the detection image of the wafer chuck to determine whether there is a scattering boundary contour. When there is translucent residual glue, the quantity, area or distribution position of translucent residual glue can be further analyzed accurately, so as to send out a reminder message of the recommended removal method of residual glue, which can be used as a reference basis for selecting the residual glue removal method. The removal of residual glue can be carried out more efficiently.
