Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a method for creating trimming data which is performed to create data for performing trimming such as film resistance using a laser beam.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a trimming program for controlling a laser trimming device, it is necessary to set various conditions necessary for executing the trimming according to a substrate to be trimmed. The conditions necessary for performing such trimming include conditions related to the production process, conditions related to measurement,
There are various parameters such as cutting conditions, and a set of these parameters is used for trimming control as trimming data.

Also, such trimming data is usually
Created by inputting from the keyboard of a personal computer. The conventional input method of such trimming data is based on a spreadsheet-type creation format using a total table arranged in rows and columns, or a one-question-response format (interactive format).
Is generally used.

[0004]

However, in such a conventional laser trimming data creating method,
There is a problem that it takes time to understand the meaning of the parameter. That is, until the operator becomes accustomed to inputting the trimming data, it is necessary to input the data while comparing the instruction manual with the CRT screen and simultaneously referring to the drawing of the substrate to be trimmed. However, there was a problem that it was troublesome.

[0005] Even if the same laser trimming device is used by different manufacturers, parameter names and configurations are different. Particularly, when a laser trimming device manufactured in another country is purchased, the screen display is changed to another language. Therefore, a worker who cannot understand the other language can only use the description of each parameter as a symbol, and may not be able to use it. Furthermore, even if the parameters are displayed in their own languages, if the configuration and names of the parameters that must be input between Company A and Company B are different, it is necessary to learn two types of parameter configurations. There was a problem that the work became troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-described problem. By visually inputting trimming data using a graphic, any worker can operate the trimming program regardless of the operation experience of the trimming program. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for creating trimming data that can easily create laser trimming data.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 shows display contents on a display screen of a display used for carrying out the method of generating trimming data according to the present invention. In FIG.
A line segment 11 of a beam positioner offset indicating a distance component required as a parameter of the trimming data;
A data entry box 12 is displayed.

The line segment 11 of the beam positioner / offset illustrates the parameters that the operator must input data. That is, the line segment 11 of the beam positioner offset is an arrow representing a distance component required as a parameter of the trimming data. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that the beam positioner offset needs to be input as data with a distance from the center O of the substrate 13 to the upper right corner P added as a code component.

A data entry box 12 is also displayed for inputting the actual value of the directional distance, illustrated by the beam positioner offset line segment 11.

The data input box 12 is a part where the value is displayed when the operator inputs data from the keyboard. The data input box 12 indicates a target component (here, an offset component). Intuitively, the worker intuitively moves the center O of the substrate to the upper right corner P of the substrate.
It can be seen that the distance component up to may be input. Thus, even if the operator does not understand the meaning of the parameter of the beam positioner offset, he can obtain and input necessary data from the display contents only by looking at the display contents of the data input screen. .

Here, the data input box 12
In addition, data items to be input, that is, in this example, the names of the line segments 11 of the beam positioner offset are also displayed.

Next, a procedure for generating trimming data according to the present invention will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. First, at the time of trimming, input of trimming data such as a required processing position is started. Then, the microprocessor (not shown) displays the line segment 11 of the beam positioner offset as shown in FIG. 1 on the display screen of the display as a conceptual diagram of the corresponding parameter as shown in FIG. S1). Subsequently, a data input box 12 for displaying the input parameter data is displayed on the display screen (step S2).
Here, if any data has already been input, the data is displayed in the data input box 12 as a current value.

Then, the operator understands the contents of the parameters which are prompted to be input based on the conceptual diagram shown on the display screen, and inputs data from the keyboard (step S3). As a result, the input data is displayed in the data input box 12, so that the operator can confirm whether or not the data input by the operator has been correctly input. Thus, when data input for one parameter is completed, input processing of another parameter is sequentially executed. Then, it is determined whether or not the input of all parameters has been completed (step S4). If there is a parameter that has not been input, the same processing (steps S1 to S3) is repeated for that parameter. By repeating this, the operator can input all the parameters required for trimming.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
This is provided with a tabular display section 2 for tabular data in addition to the data input display section 1 shown in FIG. 2 in the display screen of the display. The tabular display unit 2 displays all parameters of the trimming data in a tabular form instead of a graphic. For example, the line segment 11 of the beam positioner / offset is shown in FIG. The value displayed in 12 will be displayed in the table as it is.

Therefore, by displaying such parameters in a tabular format, the operator can simultaneously see data other than the displayed graphic as shown in FIG. 2 and can grasp the entire trimming data. . Further, other parameters that cannot be displayed by the graphic can be displayed on the same display screen of the display at the same time, so that the trimming data can be grasped more easily.

Further, by specifying each item of the tabular display unit 2 by a combination of a pointing device such as a mouse or a directional key of a keyboard, and an ENTER key, the displayed figure is displayed in the specified figure. Can switch. As a result, the operator can quickly and extremely easily move from one parameter to another parameter, thereby increasing the data input efficiency.

[0020]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, upon input of trimming data, a conceptual diagram displaying step of displaying a conceptual diagram of a corresponding parameter on a display screen of a display, A data input box displaying step of displaying a data input box for displaying data on the display screen, and a data displaying step of displaying data input from a keyboard based on the conceptual diagram in the data input box are required. It is possible to execute the input of trimming data visually using a graphic, so that any operator can easily perform the laser irrespective of the operation experience of the trimming program. An effect is obtained that trimming data can be created.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, all the parameters of the trimming data are displayed in a table format on the display screen, so that the operator can view the entire trimming data by just looking at the display screen. Can be easily grasped.

In the laser trimming data generating method according to the third aspect of the present invention, the conceptual diagram is switched by selecting the parameter items displayed in the table format. Has the effect that movement from one parameter to another parameter can be performed arbitrarily, easily and quickly.
