Abstract

A polycrystalline wafer inspection method has steps of: irradiating infrared light (3) toward an illumination position (P1) on a polycrystalline wafer (1) from a light source (2) arranged so that the optical axis passes by the illumination position (P1); photographing, by a camera (6) for photographing a photographing position (P2) on the polycrystalline wafer (1) separated a predetermined distance (D) from the illumination position (P1) in a surface direction of the polycrystalline wafer (1), the infrared light (3) being incident from the illumination position (P1), repeating reflection and refraction at crystal grain boundaries and defects inside the polycrystalline wafer (1), and exiting from the photographing position (P2); detecting defects in the polycrystalline wafer (1) from the brightness difference between a defect-free portion and a defect portion on a photographed image obtained by the camera (6). This inspection method makes it possible to obtain a photographed image including a light crystal pattern of the polycrystalline wafer (1) and therefore capable of clearly identifying the presence of defects and to easily and reliably detect the defects.

According to the method disclosed in Patent Document 1, an infrared CCD camera, a sputum, a sputum, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, a ray, and a & Generation of photographic images 4:: Shooting: The method disclosed by Γ 2 2 is to use the infrared camera to illuminate the infrared reflection from the surface and the infrared ray from the back from the surface of the polycrystalline wafer and the moon m line. And a comparison of the image data from the surface and the back (4) to detect the fracture defect of the polycrystalline crystal. However, in the case where the detection target is a multi-junction (four) wafer, #using the general 〇-infrared transmission light photography method, the crystal pattern covering the crystal direction, the crystal boundary or the contour thereof is also taken as an image, so In the process of image processing, the identification of crystal patterns and defects will be difficult, and it is prone to false detection or neglect of defects.

Problem) An object of the present invention is to reliably detect defects in a polycrystalline wafer by thinning a crystal pattern covering a crystal orientation, a crystal boundary or a contour thereof of a polycrystalline wafer during photographing. (Means for Solving the Problem) According to the above-described problem, the inventors of the present invention repeatedly irradiated the polycrystalline wafer with infrared rays and observed that the infrared rays were transmitted through the infrared rays. The result is the following insights. That is, when the infrared ray passing through the polycrystalline crystal is directly observed at the irradiation position of the infrared ray, the crystal pattern of the polycrystalline wafer of the photographic image cannot be made light. However, when the irradiation position of the infrared ray and the observation position of the transmitted infrared ray, that is, the imaging position of the camera are separated by an appropriate distance, the crystal pattern of the polycrystalline wafer can be made light and can be made only in the polycrystalline wafer. The brightness of the defect is different from the brightness of other normal parts. The present invention has been completed based on such findings. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention discloses the following. (1) A method for inspecting a polycrystalline wafer, comprising: a step of irradiating infrared rays toward the irradiation position from a light source disposed at an irradiation position on a polycrystalline wafer from an optical axis; and injecting infrared rays from the irradiation position Repeating the refraction and reflection inside the polycrystalline wafer, and ejecting from the photographing position on the polycrystalline wafer at a predetermined distance from the irradiation position toward the surface of the polycrystalline wafer, by 099117151 201100788 a step of photographing a camera for positional photography; and a step of detecting a defect in the polycrystalline wafer based on a difference in the degree of freedom of the defect-free portion and the defective portion on the photographic image obtained by the camera. (2) The method for inspecting a polycrystalline wafer according to (1), wherein the photographing position is set to a surface opposite to the surface of the polycrystalline wafer on which the irradiation position is set. (3) The method for inspecting a polycrystalline wafer according to (1), wherein the photographing position is set to be the same surface of the polycrystalline wafer surface on which the irradiation position is set. (4) The method for inspecting a polycrystalline wafer according to any one of (1) to (3) wherein the light source is a single light source, and an optical axis of the light source is inclined to a surface of the polycrystalline wafer And 〇 can extend from the above-described irradiation position to the above-described photographing position side. (5) The method for inspecting a polycrystalline wafer according to any one of (1) to (3) wherein the light source is a plurality of light sources arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the photographing position, and the optical axis of each of the light sources The surface of the polycrystalline wafer is inclined at the same inclination angle, and is extendable from the respective irradiation positions to the photographing position side. The method for inspecting a polycrystalline wafer according to any one of (1) to (5) wherein the light source is a linear light source, wherein the camera is a line sensor type camera, and the camera It is used to detect infrared rays concentrated by a cylindrical lens. (7) The method for inspecting a polycrystalline wafer according to any one of (1) to (5) wherein the light source is a ring-shaped light source forming a ring-shaped irradiation region, and the camera is a ring-shaped irradiation region The inner side is an area sensor type camera of the photographing area, and the above-mentioned camera is for detecting the infrared ray which is condensed by the magnifying lens. (Effect of the Invention) According to the inspection method of the polycrystalline wafer of the present invention, the infrared rays incident from the irradiation position to the polycrystalline wafer are repeatedly reflected or refracted in the polycrystalline wafer from the direction of the polycrystalline wafer. The photographing position on the polycrystalline wafer after leaving the irradiation position at a predetermined distance is emitted. By photographing the infrared ray emitted from the photographing position by the camera, it is possible to obtain a photographic image in which the crystal pattern is lightened and the defect is clearly recognized, and the defect can be easily and surely detected. Specifically, when there is no defect in the polycrystalline wafer, since the infrared rays are repeatedly reflected or refracted in the polycrystalline wafer, the intensity of the infrared rays reaching the photographing position is substantially uniform, and is hardly affected by the crystal pattern. , 099117151 6 201100788 Therefore, the photographic image obtained by the camera will be a uniform brightness image that does not reflect the crystal pattern of the polycrystalline wafer. However, when there is a defect in the polycrystalline wafer, the defect will cause the infrared rays to be reflected indiscriminately, and the intensity of the infrared rays reaching the photographing position will become uneven. Therefore, on the photographic image obtained by the camera, the defect will appear as a region having a lower brightness than in the case where there is no defect. Thus, according to the present invention, the photographic image obtained by the camera is substantially unaffected by the crystal pattern covering the crystal orientation, the crystal boundary or the outline of the polycrystalline germanium wafer, since only the luminance of the defect and the non-defective portion is different, Defects in polycrystalline wafers can be reliably detected. [Embodiment] Figs. 1 and 2 show an optical system for carrying out the inspection method of the polycrystalline wafer 1 of the present invention. 1 is a side view showing an optical system in an inspection direction (transport direction of the polycrystalline wafer 1) A from the right to the left state, and FIG. 2 is a front view showing an optical system in which the inspection direction A is from the paper surface toward the paper surface. . An optical system for carrying out the inspection method of the polycrystalline wafer 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2 . First, a line extending in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction A of the polycrystalline wafer 1 is irradiated from the linear light source 2 disposed on the lower surface side of the polycrystalline wafer 1 toward the linear irradiation position P1 of the polycrystalline wafer 1. Infrared infrared 3. At this time, the light source 2 is disposed such that the optical axis of the light source 2 passing through the irradiation position P1 is inclined with respect to the normal line n1 of the surface of the polycrystalline wafer 1. Specifically, the optical axis 2 of 099117151 7 201100788 forms an inclination angle α with respect to the normal line n1 so that the infrared ray 3 emitted from the light source 2 extends from the irradiation position Ρ1 side to the photographic position Ρ2 side. Such a linear light source 2 can be constructed by linearly arranging a plurality of infrared light-emitting diodes or by combining a rod-shaped infrared light source and a light source cover forming a linear slit. As schematically shown in FIG. 3, the infrared rays 3 incident from the irradiation position Ρ1 are repeatedly reflected and refracted inside the polycrystalline wafer 1, and are repeatedly reflected on the front and back surfaces of the polycrystalline wafer 1 to reach the photographing position. Ρ 2. The infrared ray 3 which reaches the photographing position is partially reflected, and a part is directly emitted from the surface of the multi-crystal wafer 1. Among them, the infrared ray 3 emitted from the photographing position Ρ2 is arranged by the camera 6 of the photographing position 利用2 by the optical axis 7, and the photographed image is obtained by the camera 6. Here, the photographing position Ρ2 is set at a position away from the irradiation position Ρ1 by a predetermined distance D in the plane direction of the polycrystalline wafer 1. In the present embodiment, the camera 6 is disposed on the opposite side of the light source 2 with respect to the polycrystalline wafer 1. Further, the optical axis 7 of the camera 6 passes through the photographing position Ρ2, and is perpendicular to the surface of the polycrystalline wafer 1. The wavelength of the infrared ray 3 which is linearly irradiated is preferably a wavelength suitable for detecting an internal defect, for example, a wavelength region of 0.7 #m to 2.5 // m. In addition, the camera 6 preferably also has good sensitivity in this wavelength region. The photographing position P2 is set at a position away from the irradiation position P1 by a predetermined distance D. The distance D can be set in accordance with the crystal structure of the polycrystalline wafer 1 or its thickness of 099117151 8 201100788, etc., and can be set at the optimum position where the crystal pattern becomes light. Further, the inspection method of the present invention is preferably applied to a plurality of crystallized wafers 1 having a thickness of 0.1 to 0.25 mm. The reason for this is that as the thickness of the polycrystalline wafer 1 is thicker, the infrared ray 3 is refracted and absorbed inside the polycrystalline wafer 1 and absorbed, which causes the intensity of the infrared ray 3 photographed by the camera 6 to be lowered, and it is impossible to obtain a clear photograph. image. When the thickness of the polycrystalline wafer 1 is thinned, the number of times of refraction or reflection occurring when the infrared ray 3 reaches the photographing position P2 will be small, and the photographic image obtained by the camera 6 will remain in a crystal pattern. Further, the optical axis of the light source 2 is preferably set at 20 to the inclination angle α of the normal line n1 of the surface of the polycrystalline wafer 1. Above 40. The following range. The reason for this is that the inclination angle α is less than 20. At the time of the infrared ray 3, the number of times of refraction and reflection required to reach the photographing position p2 after leaving the predetermined distance D from the irradiation position ρ is increased, and the intensity of the infrared ray 3 photographed by the camera 6 is lowered, and a clear photographic image cannot be obtained. The tilting angle α is greater than 2G. When the infrared ray is reduced, the refraction required for the position P2 is reduced. The number of reflections will be reduced to ~ The image will remain in the crystal pattern. The second: the step, the illumination position ρι and the photographic position? 2 between the established distance 取 take a sigh at 1~3mm. When the predetermined distance D is shorter than lrnm, the refraction required for the infrared to reach the photographing position P2, the number of reflections will be less, and the crystal form will remain. When the predetermined impurity D is longer than the 3 coffee, the number of times of folding and reflection becomes large. The intensity of the infrared light 3 photographed by the camera 6 is lowered, and a remarkable photographic image cannot be obtained. 099117151 9 201100788 In the inspection method 10 of the polycrystalline wafer 1 of the present invention, in order to make the influence of the crystal pattern small and to obtain a visible photographic image, the thickness of the polycrystalline wafer 1 is appropriately set in the above-mentioned range. , the inclination angle α, the predetermined distance p. In the optical system for performing the inspection method of the polycrystalline wafer crucible configured as described above, the infrared ray 3 which passes through the non-defective defect-free region of the polycrystalline wafer 1 is crystallization of a plurality of randomly existing crystal grains. The direction or the boundary of the crystal is repeatedly refracted or reflected to reach the photographing position Ρ2. Repeating a plurality of random refracted or reflected infrared rays 3, the refraction of each crystal grain upon reaching the photographing position P2 after leaving the irradiation position ρ1 for a predetermined distance D. The influence of the reflections will cancel each other, so that the camera 6 is photographed at the photographing position p2. The photographic image there will become a linear photographic image with uniform brightness. On the other hand, when the polycrystalline wafer 1 has the defect 4, the infrared ray 3 will be randomly reflected or absorbed in the defect 4, and thus the photographic image photographed at the photographing position P2 may appear due to the above. The shadow or bright part caused by defect 4. Since the shadow or bright portion caused by the defect 4 has a different brightness from the photographic image formed by the infrared ray 3 passing through the defect-free region, the defect 4 can be detected by comparing the luminances of both. The multi-crystal wafer crucible is transported in the transport direction A, and the above steps are repeated continuously to obtain a photographic image having an area as shown in Fig. 4A. 4A and 4B show a photographic image of the camera 6 that images the infrared ray 3 that has passed through the region containing the defect 4. In Fig. 4A, a background image of the uniform sound of the infrared rays 3 passing through the defect-free region 399117151 201100788 is formed, and a bright image which is darker shaded by the infrared rays 3 passing through the defect 4 is formed. Therefore, the defect 4 can be easily and surely recognized by detecting a region having a different luminance from the background image of the uniform luminance. Further, Fig. 4A shows a polycrystalline wafer 1 having a thickness of 0.2 mm as a defect detection target at a predetermined distance D = 2 mm and an inclination angle α = 20. The photographic image obtained under the set conditions. Further, in the present invention, the photographing position Ρ2 is set at a position away from the irradiation position Ρ1 by a predetermined distance D = 2 mm in the plane direction of the polycrystalline wafer Ο 1 . Different from this, when the photographing position is set at the position p3 where the predetermined distance D of the optical axis extension line of the light source 2 is shorter than 1 mm (refer to FIG. 1), it can be photographed at the photographing position P3 and is not sufficiently repeated. The infrared rays 3 emitted by refraction or reflection, so the photographic image will be an image affected by the crystal boundary. Therefore, even if a photographic image is formed from the infrared ray 3 passing through the region containing the defect 4, as shown in Fig. 4B, the portion affected by the defect 4 is buried in the crystal pattern, and the recognition of the defect 4 and the crystal pattern is changed. difficult. 5 is a view in which the two linear light sources 2 are disposed on the lower side of the polycrystalline wafer 1 at a position where the line normal to the photographing position P2 (the optical axis 7 of the camera 6) is disposed in line symmetry from the respective light sources 2 toward the polycrystalline crystal. The irradiation position P1 at two positions in the circle 1 illuminates the linear infrared rays 3 in different oblique directions. In addition, in this example, the inclination angle formed by the optical axis of each light source 2 and the face of the polycrystalline wafer is set to be substantially the same. According to this example, in addition to the above effects, the infrared light 3 can be detected by the camera 6. Since the amount of light is increased, a bright photographic image can be obtained, so the defect 4 can be easily detected by 099117151 201100788. Further, Fig. 6 uses a cylindrical lens 8 to condense the infrared rays 3 that have passed through the polycrystalline crystal circle 1, and detects the condensed infrared rays 3 by a line sensor type camera 6. In this example, the cylindrical lens 8 is arranged such that its longitudinal direction is along the linear infrared rays 3, and the imaging of the infrared rays 3 is enlarged in the conveyance direction of the polycrystalline wafer 1. As described above, when the infrared ray 3 is amplified by the lens 8, the infrared ray 3 can be easily detected by the camera 6, and the erroneous detection or negligence can be reduced for the continuous movement of the polycrystalline wafer 1, which is advantageous. In other words, the lens 8 can also be as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and incorporated into a single light source 2. Further, the specific size or arrangement of the optical system or the like can be set to an appropriate value in accordance with the thickness of the polycrystalline wafer 1, the wavelength region of the infrared ray 3, the irradiation angle of the infrared ray 3, the sensitivity of the camera 6, and the like. Next, Fig. 7 shows that the light source 2 is a ring type light source, the camera 6 is a zone type camera, and the light source 2 and the camera 6 are disposed on the side opposite to the polycrystalline crystal 1. The ring type light source 2 is concentrically arranged with respect to the optical axis 7 of the camera 6. The irradiation position P1 of the light source 2 is set at a position where the light beam of the light source 2 illuminating the infrared ray 3 appears to be the largest, which is a circle smaller than the circular shape of the light source 2. According to the present example, the photographing position (photographing area) P2 is the detection range of the area type camera 6, which is offset from the irradiation position P1 toward the optical axis 7 of the camera 6 by the distance D inside the ring type light source 2 as shown in FIG. The circle with a smaller radius is 099117151 12 201100788 inside. In addition, the magnifying convex lens of the objective lens side of the camera 6 can be placed. In addition, the 仏m仏 ‘, 、, and 1 may be formed by a ring-shaped slit. What? The column 'infrared rays 3 from the light source 2 will enter the inside of the two crystals (4) 1 from the circular irradiation position, and will reach the inside of the circular photographing position Ρ2 of the camera 6 after repeated refraction and reflection, and the area type camera 6 Into the light photography. The %-type light source 2 irradiates the infrared rays 3 from the entire direction of the camera 6 toward the irradiation position P1 of the polycrystalline wafer, so that even if the defect 4 in the polycrystalline wafer i is not easily detected from a certain direction, the defect can be * The inspection, J, and & area & area type camera 6 can be used to set the inspection _ (observation range) of the polycrystalline wafer 1 to a larger extent than the linear inspection range. Improve inspection efficiency. Further, Fig. 9 shows an example in which the ring type light source 2 and the area type camera 6 are disposed on the same surface side of the polycrystalline crystal® 1. In this example, the infrared ray line 3 from the light source 2 also enters the inside of the polycrystalline wafer κ from the circular irradiation position ρ, and after repeated refraction and reflection, reaches the inside of the circular photographing position p2, and is composed of the area type. The camera 6 performs photography. Further, when the infrared ray 3 is reflected on the surface of the polycrystalline wafer crucible to make the photographic image inconspicuous, the visor 9 for shielding light can be provided in the camera 6 to prevent the reflected light of the infrared ray 3 from directly entering the camera 6. Further, in this example, the slit position of the ring type can be used to form the irradiation position P1. According to FIG. 9, the 'irradiation position P1 and the photographing position P2 are on the same plane for the polycrystalline crystal 099117151 13 201100788 circle 1, so that the portion of the defect 4 in the polycrystalline wafer 1 is stronger than the other normal portion to the infrared 3 When the reflection characteristic is used, the defect 4 can be detected efficiently and easily. Further, even when the irradiation position P1 or the photographing position P2 cannot be set in the state of one surface of the polycrystalline wafer 1, the defect 4 can be detected. Of course, in the above-described FIGS. 1, 2, 5, and 6 examples, the linear light source 2 may be disposed on the same side of the multi-crystal wafer 1 as the camera 6. Further, the infrared ray 3 from the linear light source 2 may be a light guide body such as an optical fiber or an acrylic resin plate as shown in the ninth chain line of FIG. 9, and four end faces (four sides) of the polycrystalline wafer 1 may be used. At least one of the end faces is irradiated toward the inside of the polycrystalline wafer 1. In this case, according to FIGS. 5, 6, 7, and 9, in the movement of the polycrystalline wafer 1, even the front end edge portion of the traveling direction of the polycrystalline wafer 1 or the rear end portion of the traveling direction The edge portion is partially detached from one of the light sources 2 or the light source 2, and if the other light source 2 or other portion of the light source 2 is not detached from the edge portion of the moving polycrystalline wafer 1, the defect 4 can be continuously detected. Therefore, the defect 4 can be detected for the edge portion of the polycrystalline wafer 1. In the above example, the infrared ray 3 is irradiated toward the irradiation position P1 of the polycrystalline wafer 1 in the oblique direction. Therefore, in the process of the infrared ray 3 passing through the polycrystalline wafer 1, there are more opportunities for refraction and reflection than in the vertical direction, and the infrared ray 3 is more difficult to be affected by the crystal pattern. However, the irradiation direction of the infrared rays 099117151 14 201100788 may be set to be substantially perpendicular to the irradiation position P1 of the polycrystalline wafer. Even if the infrared ray 3 is reflected at a plurality of crystal boundaries, the infrared ray 3 is diffused in a direction other than the vertical direction. Therefore, by capturing the infrared ray 3 of the expansion, a photographic image which is not affected by the crystal pattern can be obtained. In the above example, the infrared ray 3 is irradiated in a state of being inclined toward the irradiation position P1 of the polycrystalline wafer 1 and directed to the imaging position p2. Therefore, most of the infrared rays 3 pass through the polycrystalline wafer 1 toward the photographing position P2, so that the necessary amount of light can be secured at the photographing position P2. However, even if the infrared ray 3 passes through the polycrystalline wafer 1 in a direction other than the photographing position p2, the amount of photographic light is generated at the photographing position P2 due to the refraction, reflection, and disorder reflection inside the polycrystalline wafer 1, and therefore, in principle, The inspection of defect 4 can be performed. When the polycrystalline wafer 1 is stopped at the inspection position, the photographing conditions can be made good. On the other hand, when the shutter speed is prioritized, the polycrystalline crystal circle 1 can be continuously moved. Further, the posture of the polycrystalline wafer 1 may not be horizontal, and may be set to a vertical or inclined state in accordance with the inspection space. Further, the present invention is not limited to germanium wafers, and may be used in wafers of other polycrystalline structures. The present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes or modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
