A LIGHT DETECTION ARRANGEMENT AND A METHOD FOR DETECTING

LIGHT IN A LIGHT DETECTION ARRANGEMENT

Technical Field

[0001] " Embodiments relate to a light detection arrangement and a method for detecting light in a light detection arrangement.

Background

[0002] - : Semiconductor devices, such as integrated circuit chips, may be electronically connected to leads on a lead frame by a’ process known as wire bonding. The wire bonding process involves adopting a wire to connect pads residing on a chip or die to a lead in a lead frame. Once the chip and lead frame have been wire bonded, the chip and lead frame ay be further packaged in ceramic or plastic to form an integrated circuit device. 10003] . | In many cases, an inspection of the quality of the wire bond may be ~ performed manually by a human operator using a microscope. However, this manual method may be time consuming and costly. Having said that, it may be desired to : perform an automatic wire bond inspection. However, a number of challenges may need : i. to be addressed for the automatic wire bond inspection. For example, due to a relatively high specularity of the wires on the lead frame, illumination may need to be designed so as to minimize the specularity on the respective surfaces of the wires and the lead frame : to ensure a relatively accurate measurement. At the same time, good contrasts on other respective surfaces such as die surface and bond surface shall also be desired so as to be able to cairy out two-dimensional (2D) measurements.

[0004] While there may not be any standard illumination systems available in the market for stereo vision system, some examples of the state of the art illumination systems adopted may include a co-axial light, a dome light, a ring light, a combination of the dome light and the co-axial light or other combinations thereof.

[0005] Having said that, there may be some issues faced when adopting the state of the art illumination systems. These issues may include a relatively low contrast between the chip and the wire bond, a difficulty in extracting an obj ect information for a three- dimensional (3D) calculation and a limited intensity tuning range of some of the illumination systems.

[0006] | Therefore, there is a need for an alternative illumination system which may be able to provide a uniform illumination for the object surface to be inspected while at the same time enhance the contrast between the die surface andthe wire bond.
