Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method of aligning a substrate, and more particularly, to a method of aligning a substrate, that is, even if it is not recognized Alignment marks can still be used to align the substrate with some of the alignment marks. [Prior Art] Generally, a device for aligning a substrate is used to position a substrate on a substrate seating unit (for example, a susceptor or a surface plate) or two substrates. Align precisely with each other. . Today, more flat panel displays are being used, such as liquid crystal display (LCD) devices, plasma display pands (PDPs), and organic light-emitting devices (〇rganic called emitter devices, 0 LEDs). These flat panel displays are manufactured by attaching a pair of flat panel substrates on which fine patterns are formed. Aligning and attaching two substrates is an extremely important process because the attachment of the substrate is typically performed during the final stages of panel processing. The second substrate is not fresh at the final stage, so the entire panel has to be discarded. In addition, the fine patterns formed on the substrate should also be in the alignment process and thus require extremely precise alignment of the substrate. Note 4 201108348 Align the alignment marks of the substrates with each other to align the two substrates with the fine pattern. In the apparatus for aligning a substrate according to the related art, the alignment completion decision is made at all of the alignment mark materials, and the next operation (e.g., attachment of the substrate) is performed. (d) During the fine pattern processing, some of the alignment marks may not be recognized when the film is unintentionally hidden by the film or due to the visual system of the device for aligning the substrate. The alignment process may not be completed when the alignment marks are not recognized for any reason. This state is considered an error, and therefore, the bottom-alignment process cannot continue. # Further, according to the related art, when the identification of the alignment mark is unsuccessful, it should be manually found that the material mark is aligned with m, so that the total operation is increased and the productivity is lowered. In addition, if the alignment mark is still not recognized by the hand, the substrate will be discarded. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a substrate alignment method that determines a position of an unrecognized alignment mark based on the identified alignment mark inspection and aligns the substrate based on the determined position, and thus is capable of Reducing alignment errors (aUgnmer^, reducing substrate alignment time and improving productivity. According to an exemplary embodiment - a method of aligning a substrate includes: placing on a seesaw alignment device; determining whether the The alignment of the substrate, under the condition that the position of all the alignment marks is recognized, the alignment recognized by the base f is aligned with the substrate, and the position is generated without identifying the position of the alignment target of more than half. Aligning the error signal, or under the condition that the position marked to 201108348 is recognized, based on the identified alignment mark 5, the position of the material yam A ==:r determined position and the identified pair The method of identifying the aligned alignment marks prior to storing the identified alignment may further include: determining the position of the bit marker based on the unidentified alignment mark based on the four regions of the panel ,Correct Marking the position of the aligned alignment mark to determine the unidentified alignment: the diagonal 磕 contains the diagonal of each other in the alignment mark identified by the connection; the diagonal is wrapped around One of the out-of-alignment marks is rotated by the unidentified alignment face by up to 45 degrees to the reference line; the pair of the two aligned alignment marks are And further rotating the position of the alignment mark recognized by j by up to 45 degrees to draw another 2 line; and setting the two reference_intersection points to the unidentified alignment mark The position of the multi-(four) quasi-marker is arranged at the base__region, the alignment mark arrangement has a rectangular shape 'and the alignment mark is not recognized. The position of the alignment mark is determined.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the description of the preferred embodiments illustrated in the accompanying claims. The exemplary embodiments are understood in detail. Hereinafter, specific embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the invention may be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these inventions are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and the scope of the invention will be fully conveyed by those skilled in the art. In the drawings, the same component symbols are used to refer to the same components. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a substrate alignment apparatus, according to an exemplary embodiment. Referring to Fig. 1, the substrate alignment apparatus comprises: a stage 2 〇〇 which is adapted to mount the substrate 100 thereon; a calibration unit 3 〇〇 which is adapted to be in the Χ, γ, ζ and Θ directions Calibrating the substrate; a vision system 400, which is adapted to detect the aligned position of the substrate 1; and an alignment control το' which is suitable for controlling the calibration unit according to the visual copper 3 〇〇 operation. In an exemplary embodiment, the crucible is effective for using a light transmissive substrate (e.g., a substrate or a plastic substrate) for the substrate. Moreover, an alignment mark for alignment of the substrate 100 may be formed on one side of the substrate 1〇〇 using a flexible substrate. For example, if the substrate 1 is rectangular, the alignment mark may have four corner regions. Everywhere in the middle. However, it is not limited thereto, and the center can be placed in the middle portion of each of the four sides. In the figure, the standard mark is placed at the four corner areas. According to an exemplary embodiment, the = mark is provided in at least two regions to achieve effective alignment. (Example: 2〇0 solid-state substrate 1〇0 to prevent the substrate 100 from being slid during the substrate processing process 'liquid crystal dripping, close-coating, and substrate attachment') and defective due to 201108348. Although not shown, a liquid crystal dropping device, a sealant coating device, or a substrate attachment device may be provided on the stage 200. This means that the substrate alignment device can be part of a liquid crystal dropping device, a sealant coating device, and a substrate attachment device. Substrate alignment devices can also be provided external to these devices. Here, the substrate alignment apparatus of the substrate attachment apparatus can move any of the upper substrate and the lower substrate in the χ, γ, ζ, and Θ directions. The stage 200 has the same plate form as the substrate 100. The table 2 includes a table alignment mark, i.e., a reference alignment mark for aligning the substrate 1〇〇. The stage alignment marks enable the substrate 100 to be placed at the correct position on the upper portion of the stage 2's "the stage alignment marks are disposed to correspond to the alignment marks of the substrate 1". In an exemplary embodiment, the substrate alignment marks are aligned with the stage. The substrate 1 is aligned with the alignment. When the upper substrate and the lower substrate are attached to each other, the alignment marks of the upper substrate are aligned with the alignment marks of the lower substrate. The order sheet 7L 300 is placed in a predetermined position on the stage 200 by finely aligning the substrate 100. More specifically, the calibration unit 300 calibrates the position of the substrate 100 by moving the substrate (10) in X, 丫, 2, and one side. The vision system 400 uses the camera 41 to capture the alignment marks of the substrate and the table 2 and supply the shooting result to the visual controller (visiQn e). The visual line 400 stores the coordinate results of the respective alignment marks. The alignment control unit 500 uses the image or image data captured by the vision system 4 to make a fresh cell __. Therefore, the fine calibration of the substrate 1〇〇201108348 is performed. The alignment control unit 500 includes an alignment mark compensation module. In the case where the substrate 1 、 and some of the alignment marks are mismatched, the material mark compensation module details the unidentified alignment mark inspection and performs alignment using the determined position. Therefore, even if the alignment marks are not read (recognized), errors can be prevented. 2A is a flow chart illustrating a method for aligning a substrate, according to an exemplary embodiment. First, as shown in Fig. 2, a substrate 1 is placed on the apparatus to align the substrate 100 (S100). That is, in the exemplary embodiment, the substrate (10) is placed on the stage 2 that is suitable for aligning the substrate just as shown in FIG. Next, it is confirmed whether or not the alignment mark of the substrate is recognized (S11〇). As shown in Figure 1, the vision system_ identifies the alignment marks of the substrate 100. This process is called because the alignment marks of the substrate 100 may have been removed during the fine pattern processing as previously described in [Background Art]. When all of the alignment marks are identified, the stage alignment marks (i.e., the above-mentioned reference alignment marks) are aligned with the alignment marks of the substrate 100 (si2〇). When it is determined that the semi-mark is not recognized, the situation is confirmed as an alignment error and an error signal (10) is generated. When the error signal is generated, the substrate 0 is discarded. When the alignment mark having half of the alignment marks is not recognized, the position of the unrecognized alignment mark is determined based on the recognized alignment mark (S140). Next, the substrate 100 is aligned by aligning the identified alignment mark with the determined position of the alignment mark of 201108348 with the alignment mark of the stage 200 (ie, the above-mentioned reference alignment mark) (S150) ). The determination of whether or not the alignment mark of the substrate 1 is recognized will be explained more specifically hereinafter. Referring to Fig. 1, four cameras* of the vision system 400 are disposed to correspond to corner regions of the substrate 100 at which alignment marks are disposed. The camera 410 (its focus lens) captures an image of the area where the alignment mark is located. The captured image is analyzed to determine if the alignment mark is recognized. In the case where the substrate 100 is transparent, an opaque material is used for the alignment mark. Therefore, it is determined whether the shapes of the opaque regions are similar (substantially the same within a predetermined allowable range) to the input alignment marks. However, it is not limited to the above case, but the determination as to whether or not the alignment mark is recognized may be performed in various other manners. For example, each de-marking can be identified by a single camera or by the naked eye. In the present exemplary embodiment, the coordinate values of the other alignment marks may be determined and stored during the determination of whether or not the alignment mark is recognized. Since the alignment marks are recognized in performing the alignment in the exemplary embodiment as described above, it is possible to find any substrate including the alignment marks of the money. In addition, it is also true which substrates can be used for further processing. Through this process, the total processing time can be shortened, and it is easy to determine whether $ advances to the next step. For example, a substrate (10) that is uniform can be directly subjected to a substrate alignment process. The other party Π discards the substrate (10) that does not recognize more than half of the material mark. Hereinafter, a method of determining the position of an unrecognized alignment mark based on the aligning mark 12 201108348 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a view illustrating a method for determining a position of an unidentified alignment mark, according to an exemplary embodiment. In the following description, a plurality of alignment marks are disposed at four regions of the substrate. The overall arrangement of the alignment marks can have a rectangular shape. Specifically, four alignment marks are arranged on a rectangular substrate. In the example of Figure 3, one of the four alignment marks is not recognized. The shape of the substrate is not limited to a rectangular shape, but it may have a circular shape or any other shape. As described above, the vision system determines whether the position of the alignment mark is identified at four locations on the substrate. Here, as shown in Fig. 3, the positions of the three alignment marks are recognized, and one alignment mark is not recognized. The positions of the three identified alignment marks (i.e., the first to third alignment marks s M1, M2, and M3) are stored. The positions of the first to third alignment marks M M2 and M3 are determined in the following manner. The substrate alignment device calculates the X-axis length and the x-axis length of the substrate. The positions of the three identified alignment marks Μ2 and M3 are determined based on the calculated χ-axis length and the Υ-axis length. Here, the center of the substrate can become a coordinate center. However, any corner area of the substrate may be the coordinate center. The positions of the first to third alignment marks m, M2, and M3 are stored in the above-described alignment control vision system 400. Next, the positions of the stored first to third alignment marks m and M3 are used to determine the unidentified alignment marks (ie, the fourth alignment marks. According to the present exemplary embodiment, the connections are made to each other The first alignment mark M! and the third alignment mark Μ 3 on the corner line 13 201108348 = the first alignment mark M1 and the third alignment mark M3 and toward the = mark (ie, the fourth alignment mark M4) The position of the position is 疋 。 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 疋 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四 第四A position of the unidentified alignment mark is rotated by 45 degrees, and the line is illuminated. In addition, the diagonal (four) can be aligned clockwise to the position of the mark 3 and the position of the alignment mark recognized by the county is rotated 45. Degree, thereby drawing a second reference line u. Next, the intersection of the first reference line L2 and the second reference line L3 is counted. The phase is set to the position of the unidentified fourth alignment mark M4. The angle of rotation is not limited to 45 degrees' and may vary depending on the 布置 of the overall arrangement of the plurality of alignment marks. j is not limited to the above method, but the first reference line L2' may be drawn from the first alignment mark M1 P歼1 and the mlu may be drawn from the second alignment mark M2. The first - reference line u is drawn parallel to one side of the substrate, the side being adjacent to the unidentified alignment mark M4 and the first alignment mark M1. The second reference line u scale is made parallel to the other side of the substrate, the other side being adjacent to the unidentified alignment mark %4 and the third alignment mark M3. The phase of the first reference line L2 and the second reference line u is set to the position of the fourth alignment mark M4. After determining the position of the unrecognized alignment mark as described above, the determined position of the unrecognized alignment mark and the position of the identified alignment mark are used to align the substrate. No 201108348 Here, the identified position of the unidentified alignment mark is aligned with the center point of the identified alignment mark on the fish a. More specifically: the determined position of the alignment mark corresponding to a coordinate position does not recognize that it has a technical area, and the identified pair = is a true mark having a predetermined area. When the coordinate position=the table alignment mark recognized by the vision system (ie, the reference alignment mark center point, the substrate is aligned), according to the above method, when the alignment mark is not recognized, Alignment of the substrate can be achieved. Although the above description has been made with respect to the substrate =, the above method can be applied to the substrate 2 = ^ ΐ and 'even when four alignments disposed on the rectangular substrate are not recognized' Performing Substrate Alignment. Reference will now be made to Figure 4, which is a lake illustrating a first modified method of determining a non-(four) material mark inspection according to an exemplary embodiment. Only two alignments are identified by The position of the mark. That is, the position of the first alignment mark M1 and the second alignment mark Μ2 is 'the position of the second alignment mark Μ3 and the fourth alignment mark Μ4. j, draw the connection - Aligning the marker milk with the second alignment mark 吣 the handle ray UG. Next, the first reference line L1G is made around the first record M1 and toward the unrecognized alignment marks M3 and M4. When a = direction is rotated 45 degrees, in order to draw the second reference line L2 〇. In addition, one, according to the line uo Around the second alignment mark M2 and toward the unrecognized 15 201108348 45 degrees, in order to draw the third moxibustion marks M3 and M4 to rotate the illumination line L30 clockwise.

That is, the side of the substrate: 匕 has been corrected on the side of the first alignment mark d M1 and the fourth alignment mark of the unclear $. In addition, the fifth parameter = from the second alignment mark M2 is drawn to be parallel to the other side of the substrate, which is closer to the first standard M2 and the unidentified alignment mark 3. That is, the other side of the substrate is disposed on the side between the second alignment mark M2 and the unidentified alignment M3. π 5 has set the intersection of the second reference line to the fifth reference line as the position of the unidentified alignment mark. Specifically, the intersection of the third reference line L3 〇 and the fourth illuminating line L40 is set to the position of the fourth alignment mark M4. The intersection of the second reference line L20 and the fifth reference line L50 is set to the position of the third alignment mark M3. ^ Next, the determined position of the third alignment mark M3 and the fourth alignment mark M4 is used to align the substrate. Although the exemplary embodiment is explained for a rectangular substrate, the substrate may have a rectangular shape, a square shape, or any other polygonal shape. While the exemplary embodiment has been explained with respect to a 45 degree rotation angle, the angle of rotation may vary depending on the shape of the overall arrangement of the alignment marks. Alternatively, the position of the unrecognized alignment mark can be determined by rotating the substrate. 16 201108348 FIG. 5 is a view illustrating a method for determining a position of an unrecognized alignment mark according to a second modified example of the exemplary embodiment. A plurality of alignment marks are arranged at four areas on the substrate. The overall layout of the alignment marks can have a rectangular shape. In the following description, four alignment marks are arranged on a rectangular substrate. However, the shape of the substrate is not limited to a rectangular shape. The substrate may have a rectangular shape, a circular shape, or any other shape. Fig. 5 will be explained with respect to the same case as Fig. 3, in which the fourth alignment mark M4 is not recognized. ' As shown in FIG. 5A, the position of the alignment mark of the substrate is identified. Here, the positions of the first to third alignment marks M1, M2, and M3 are recognized, and the position of the fourth alignment mark M4 is not recognized. The positions of the first to third alignment marks M1, M2, and M3 are stored. Next, the substrate is rotated as shown in FIG. 5B. In the modified example, since the substrate has a rectangular shape, the substrate is rotated by 180 degrees. If the substrate has a square shape, the substrate can be rotated by 9 degrees, 18 degrees, or 270 degrees. When the substrate is rotated by 180 degrees, the position of the first alignment mark mi and the third alignment mark M3 is exchanged, and the second alignment mark M2 is placed in the area of the fourth alignment mark M4. Next, the first alignment mark M1 and the third alignment mark m3 of the rotated substrate are adjusted with the positions of the first alignment mark M1 and the third alignment mark M3 which are originally stored, that is, the position before the rotation. The positions (ie, the rotated positions) are such that they are aligned with each other. Here, the position of the rotated second alignment mark M2 is set to the position of the unidentified fourth alignment mark 17 201108348 M4. The position of the -first first alignment mark M1 is aligned with the position of the rotated second alignment M3. Moreover, the first 吣 = start position is aligned with the rotated first scale mark mi _ , and the initial alignment mark M2 of the second alignment mark M2 is at the position of the mark Μ 4 . The younger brother who is not engraved does not rotate the substrate for alignment processing. However, the alignment can be performed without rotating the substrate. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method of determining the position of an unidentified alignment mark in accordance with an exemplary implementation; see FIG. 6 not showing the tonne alignment mark as shown in FIG. In the quasi-marker M1 and the ^=3 mark, the position of the mark M2 is only aligned, and the position of the third alignment mark M3 and the fourth alignment mark_ is not recognized. After 5 positions of the alignment mark of the board, 'storage is identified=set position. Here, the center of the substrate can be rotated (10) degrees as shown in Figure 6B. If the substrate has S3: two, it can be rotated by 9 degrees, 180 degrees or 270 degrees. The 经, ··~ points are aligned with the initial center point of the substrate. The position of the alignment mark of the substrate is identified. After the rotation is recognized, the position of the quasi-W Ml determines the position of the third alignment mark M3. The position of the identified second alignment mark milk after the rotation determines the position of the M4th. After the substrate is rotated back to the holding position, the substrate is executed. Although Figs. 5 and 6 have been explained with respect to the case of rotating the substrate, the position or coordinates stored in the alignment control unit 50A can also be rotated. As described above, according to an exemplary embodiment, it is possible to quickly determine whether or not an alignment mark is recognized. In addition, according to an exemplary embodiment, the position of the unrecognized alignment mark may be determined based on the position of the identified alignment bar, and the position of the verification is aligned, so that the solution can be reduced And alignment errors can shorten the processing time for substrate alignment, thereby improving productivity. Although the substrate alignment method has been described with reference to the specific embodiments, it is not limited thereto. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. The present invention has been disclosed in the above preferred embodiments, but it is not intended to be used in the spirit of the invention, and the invention may be modified and modified in a manner that does not depart from the spirit of the invention. Scope is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached.
