Description

LED wafer inspection device and method thereof 【0001】

The invention relates to an LED wafer detecting device and a method thereof, in particular to an LED wafer detecting device and a method thereof for quickly detecting an LED wafer.

【0002】

With the rise of energy-saving and power-saving awareness, and the need for 3C products to be thinner and lighter, it is inevitable to use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as light sources instead of traditional light bulbs to reduce power consumption and improve luminous efficiency. trend. As a result, the yield requirements for LED wafers have become stricter.

[0003]

In order to reduce the package defects and improve the overall yield before dividing the wafer die on the LED wafer for subsequent packaging operations, the yield detection is usually performed on the wafer unit on the wafer, and then the subsequent packaging operation is performed. .

[0004]

In the conventional detection method, the wafer is loaded into the optical detecting instrument by manual operation, and then the wafer unit in the wafer on the optical detecting instrument is visually inspected by the inspector, thereby completing the wafer. Yield judgment job.

[0005]

Since this type of detection mainly determines and records defects on the wafer in an artificial manner, the detection speed is rather slow. Moreover, considering the cost factor, most of the practice will adopt the method of sampling detection. In this way, the detection method will have the following disadvantages: one is that it is impossible to make detailed detailed records of the defect parts, and when the adjustment of the LED wafer process is to be performed later, the improvement of the overall yield is limited; On the other hand, under the long-term operation of the inspectors, it is inevitable that fatigue will occur. Therefore, there will still be omissions in the manual inspection; in addition, the low efficiency of manual detection will also affect the overall cost.

[0006]

Moreover, when the LED wafer is to be illuminated by different wavelength spectrums (such as red light), in the prior art, the general light source is matched with the color filter (ie, the red light filter) to emit. The red light, however, is caused by the loss of brightness when the light beam emitted by the light source penetrates the color filter, so that the brightness of the general light source and the color filter may be degraded and cause defects. Not obvious problem. Moreover, when it is desired to switch between different spectra (such as switching red light to green light or blue light), the replacement of the color filter wastes a lot of work time.

[0021]

The present invention relates to an LED wafer inspection apparatus 100 that can be used to quickly detect a plurality of LED wafers 400, including a detection platform 200 and an optical detection apparatus 300.

[0022]

In detail, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the detecting platform 200 is configured to sequentially carry and fix the plurality of LED wafers 400, and the optical detecting device 300 includes a line scan camera 310 and a stack assembly 320. And a light source assembly 330. The line scan camera 310 is disposed above the detection platform 200, and the cymbal assembly 320 is disposed between the line scan camera 310 and the detection platform 200, and the detection platform 200, the cymbal assembly 320, and the line scan camera 310 are preferably disposed on On the same plumb line. The light source assembly 330 is disposed adjacent to the cymbal assembly 320 and is configured to sequentially emit at least a two-line beam 332 to the cymbal assembly 320. The light source assembly 330 is connected to the cymbal assembly 320, preferably The aforementioned vertical lines are orthogonal.

[0023]

In the first embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the line source 332 of the light source assembly 330 of the LED wafer inspection apparatus 100 includes the three-line light sources 332a, 332b, and 332c.

[0024]

As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the three-wire light sources 332a, 332b, and 332c are disposed adjacent to the cymbal assembly 320 in a vertically stacked manner, and only position and emit the three-wire light sources 332a, 332b, and 332c at a time. In one manner, the line beam 334 is emitted in sequence toward the cymbal assembly 320.

[0025]

Next, please refer to FIG. 2 together. After receiving the line beam 334 emitted by the light source assembly 330, the 稜鏡 assembly 320 can be used to fully reflect the line beam 334 by the special setting of the internal 稜鏡. Reflected to the LED wafer 400 of the inspection platform 200, the line beam 334 will then be reflected by the surface of the LED wafer 400, causing the line beam 334 to penetrate the 稜鏡 assembly 320 and sweep the line disposed above the detection platform 200. The camera 310 receives it.

[0026]

In this way, when the line scan camera 310 receives the line beams 334 reflected by the surface of the LED wafer 400, it can be used by observing the gray level difference of the line beam 334 reflected by the surface of the LED wafer 400. The defect of the LED wafer 400 is judged. In particular, a line beam 334 having a distinct band spectrum (such as red light, green light, or blue light, etc.) also produces a different grayscale difference pattern for defects on various LED wafers 400, so the line scan camera After sequentially receiving the line beam 334 reflected by the surface of the LED wafer 400, the 310 can quickly calculate and detect the yield of the LED wafer 400 through an operation program.

[0027]

In the embodiment, the three-line light sources 332a, 332b, and 332c preferably use three primary color light sources, which are respectively a green light source, a red light source, or a blue light source, thereby helping to ensure the intensity of the light source and avoid the occurrence of light loss. Rather than having the color filter as a result of the prior art, the brightness of the light source is greatly attenuated.

[0028]

However, those having ordinary knowledge in the art may also replace the three-wire light sources 332a, 332b, and 332c with other colors according to different detection requirements, and are not limited thereto.

[0029]

On the other hand, please refer to FIG. 2 again, because the three-wire light sources 332a, 332b, and 332c in the first embodiment are disposed adjacent to the cymbal assembly 320 in a vertically stacked manner, so when different transmissions are required according to different test requirements. When the color line beam 334 is switched, only the vertical movement of the three-line light source 332a, 332b, 332c is required to be switched, so that the line beam 334 having a specific color is emitted after being aligned with the 稜鏡 assembly 320, so The LED wafer inspection apparatus 100 of the present invention can quickly perform the replacement operation between the three-line light sources 332a, 332b, and 332c when the LED wafer 400 is detected, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0030]

Moreover, the direction in which the photosensitive elements are mounted in the line scan camera 310 is preferably orthogonal to the beam direction of the line source 332 (ie, the direction in which the line beam 334 is advanced), but is not limited thereto. In addition, the conventional line scan camera 310 has resolutions of 4K, 8K, 12K, and 16K, so that the examiner can select a line scan camera 310 with a suitable resolution according to different detection precision requirements.

[0031]

In order to ensure the detection stability of the LED wafer detecting device 100 during the detection, in the detecting process of the embodiment, the optical detecting device 300 is fixed, and only the scanning detecting platform 200 is scanned to maintain the line source 332. A stable output of the transmitted line beam 334. However, this is not a limitation.

[0032]

Therefore, in this embodiment, since the connection between the light source assembly 330 and the cymbal assembly 320 is orthogonal to the vertical lines set by the detection platform 200, the cymbal assembly 320, and the line scan camera 310, The line source 332, when the line beam 334 emitted by the line source 334 has a line width larger than the diameter of the LED wafer 400 to be detected, the detection platform 200 only needs to perform a single translation in a direction orthogonal to the line beam 334. The scan inspection operation of the LED wafer 400 can be completed quickly, thereby effectively improving the detection efficiency.

[0033]

As shown in FIG. 3, the light source assembly 330 of the LED wafer inspection apparatus 100 of the present invention may have only the implementation of the two-line light sources 332a, 332b, in addition to the embodiment of the three-wire light sources 332a, 332b, and 332. To correspond to different detection needs. The two-line beam 332a, 332b may be a red light beam, a blue light beam or a green light beam, but is not limited thereto. Therefore, the light source assembly 330 of the second embodiment can sequentially emit the two-line beam 334 to the 稜鏡 assembly 320 to detect the LED wafer 400.

[0034]

The second embodiment of the LED wafer detecting apparatus 100 of the present invention has the same spatial arrangement as the first embodiment except that the number of the line light sources 332 of the light source assembly 330 is different from that of the first embodiment. Therefore, the traveling direction and detection mode of the line beam of the second embodiment will not be described here.

[0037]

As previously mentioned, the optical detection device 300 includes a line scan camera 310, a stack assembly 320, and a light source assembly 330. The line scan camera 310 is disposed above the detection platform 200, and the cymbal assembly 320 is disposed between the line scan camera 310 and the detection platform 200, and the light source assembly 330 is adjacent to the cymbal assembly 320, and is configured to sequentially emit at least The two-line beam 332 is to the 稜鏡 assembly 320.

[0038]

In addition, step 520 further includes the following steps:

[0039]

First, as shown in step 521, at least two lines of light 334 are sequentially emitted from the light source assembly 330 toward the raft assembly 320; as shown in step 522, at least two lines of light are reflected by the 稜鏡 assembly 320 in a total reflection manner. 334 to the LED wafers 400 of the test platform 200; as shown in step 523, the at least two-line light beams 334 are reflected by the surfaces of the LED wafers 400, so that at least the two-line light beams 334 penetrate the 稜鏡 assembly 320. Received by the line scan camera 310; finally, as shown in step 524, the received at least two-line beam 334 is calculated by an arithmetic program and the yield of the LED wafers 400 is detected.

[0040]

In summary, with the LED wafer inspection apparatus 100 and method thereof of the present invention, the LED wafer 400 can be detected with a line beam 334 having a more sufficient amount of light to provide an accurate reflection spectrum for the LED wafer 400. The yield is judged, and at the same time, since at least the two-line light source is disposed adjacent to the cymbal assembly 320 in a vertically stacked manner, the switching of the line source of the specific color can be quickly performed, thereby reducing the detection cost and improving the detection efficiency.
