Specific embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings the structural principle and operation principle of the present invention is described in detail:
Refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, Fig. 2 is shown in present pre-ferred embodiments, with detector lens, semiconductor device is carried out The floor map of scanning;Fig. 3 is the flow chart of steps of the flaw detection method of semiconductor element of the present invention.As illustrated, it is many Individual adjacent semiconductor element 100 is to invert in a detection platform 200, and semiconductor element 100 respectively comprise a ground floor 1, One second layer 2 and an intermediate layer 3, wherein, semiconductor element 100 is for a light emitting diode, and ground floor 1 is an electrode layer, The second layer 2 is a substrate layer, and intermediate layer 3 is located between ground floor 1 and the second layer 2.Additionally, in the present embodiment, Duo Geban Conductor element 100 is the multiple light-emitting diode chip for backlight unit being formed through semiconductor technology by a wafer, ground floor 1 and intermediate layer 3 For semiconductor layer, and ground floor 1 is further provided with a first electrode 11, and intermediate layer 3 is further provided with a second electrode 31, and the second layer 2 The substrate layer being then e.g. made up of sapphire.
From the above, the flaw detection method of the semiconductor element of the present invention as shown in Figure 3, its step S110 be first by One detector lens 300 are focused towards the second layer 2;Then, step S120 is that detector lens 300 are focused in ground floor 1, and Semiconductor element 100 is scanned to obtain one first scan-image (not shown), wherein detector lens 300 are along one first Its focal lines S1 are scanned to ground floor 1;Then, step S130 is that detector lens 300 are focused in the second layer 2, and half-and-half leads Volume elements part 100 is scanned to obtain one second scan-image (not shown), and wherein detector lens 300 are along one second its focal lines S2 is scanned to the second layer 2;Finally, step S140 is to compare semiconductor element 100 in the first scan-image and the second scanning A relative position in image, to judge whether semiconductor element 100 has a flaw P in relative position.
Wherein, when relative position has a flaw pattern (not shown) and in the second scan-image not in the first scan-image When there is flaw pattern, judge that semiconductor element 300 has flaw in relative position, and flaw is a spot corrosion flaw;When relatively Position, when the first scan-image and the second scan-image all have a flaw pattern, judges that semiconductor element has in relative position There is flaw, and flaw is a surface blemish.
Refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is the flow chart of steps of the flaw detection method of another semiconductor element of the present invention.As Shown in figure, step S210, S220 is identical with above-mentioned step S110, S120 respectively, and the difference of step S230 and step S130 It is, step S230 is that detector lens 300 are focused in the second layer 2, and the flaw pattern having according to the first scan-image Relative position semiconductor element 100 is scanned to obtain the second scan-image, then step S240 is swept according to second again Shading picture judges whether semiconductor element has flaw in relative position.Wherein, because step S230 is only for the first scanning shadow The relative position of the flaw pattern as having is scanned to the second layer 2, therefore effectively can shorten sweep time and carry Rise detection efficiency.
Refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, when Fig. 5 is shown in practice, obtained during the ground floor of scanning semiconductor element The first scan-image schematic diagram;When Fig. 6 is shown in practice, scanning semiconductor element the second layer when obtained second Scan-image schematic diagram.As illustrated, because the first scan-image SI1 has flaw pattern P 1 at relative position RP1, and the Two scan-image SI2 do not have flaw pattern at relative position RP1, therefore judge semiconductor element at relative position RP1 There is flaw (not shown, to be equivalent to above-mentioned flaw P), and this flaw is a spot corrosion flaw, spot corrosion flaw is mainly quasiconductor Element produced deep zone defect when carrying out electrostatic test.
On the other hand, because the first scan-image SI1 has flaw pattern P 2 at relative position RP2, and the second scanning Image SI2 has flaw pattern P 2 ' at relative position RP2, therefore judges that semiconductor element has the flaw at relative position RP2 Defect, and this flaw is a surface blemish, surface blemish is mainly dirty, noise or scratch.
In sum, because the second layer of semiconductor element is nonconducting substrate layer, therefore when semiconductor element is in warp When crossing electrostatic test, can make because substrate layer is non-conductive to puncture towards intermediate layer at the electric current self-electrode of electrostatic test and produce spot corrosion Defect, and when semiconductor element being detected with the detection mode of prior art, its obtained scan-image is scraped because containing Trace or the flaw such as dirty and False Rate can be made too high.
Compared to existing technologies, the flaw detection method of the semiconductor element of the present invention will not be hit based on spot corrosion defect Wear under the principle of the second layer, to carry out with the second scan-image by the first scan-image that scanning ground floor is obtained with the second layer Compare, you can in the defective pattern of the first scan-image the second scan-image non-defective pattern, judge semiconductor element There is spot corrosion defect, and when the first scan-image and second scan-image all defective patterns, then judge semiconductor element institute The defect having is scratch or the surface defect such as dirty;Thereby, the flaw detection method of semiconductor element provided by the present invention Really effectively the flaw pattern of semiconductor element can be judged, and then avoid False Rate too high.
Further, since the flaw detection method of the semiconductor element of the present invention also can be after scanning through ground floor, according to the The relative position of the flaw pattern of one scan image is scanned to the second layer;Thereby, you can effectively shorten sweeping of the second layer Retouch the time, can effectively judge whether semiconductor element has spot corrosion flaw again.On practice is used, detector lens are more permissible Relatively low resolution ground floor is made quick scanning, and the relative position being then directed to flaw pattern again is more accurate to second layer work Scanning.
In other embodiments, the flaw detection method of semiconductor element provided by the present invention is not limited to luminous two Pole pipe, is equally applicable for the detection of other semiconductor elements, and embodiment is not limited to the mode that above-described embodiment is lifted.
Certainly, the present invention also can have other various embodiments, in the case of without departing substantially from present invention spirit and its essence, ripe Know those skilled in the art and work as and various corresponding changes and deformation can be made according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and change Shape all should belong to the protection domain of appended claims of the invention.
