The test object 11 is a disk-shaped semiconductor wafer used for manufacturing, for example, an IC or an LSI. However, the type, shape, and the like of the test object 11 are not limited, and for example, a package substrate, a ceramic substrate, a glass substrate, or the like may be used as the test object 11.

保持台6被連結於例如包含馬達等之旋轉機構(旋轉手段8),繞相對於垂直方向(Z軸方向)大概平行之旋轉軸之周圍旋轉。保持台6之上面成為保持被檢查物11之保持面6a。 The holding table 6 is coupled to, for example, a rotating mechanism (rotation means 8) including a motor or the like, and rotates around a rotation axis that is approximately parallel with respect to the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). The upper surface of the holding table 6 serves as a holding surface 6a for holding the inspection object 11.

該保持面6a例如通過被形成在保持台6之內部的吸引路(無圖示)等而連接於吸引源(無圖示)。藉由使吸引源之負壓作用於保持面6a,可以在保持台6保 持被檢查物11。 The holding surface 6a is connected to a suction source (not shown) by, for example, a suction path (not shown) formed inside the holding table 6. By applying a negative pressure of the suction source to the holding surface 6a, it is possible to protect the holding table 6 Holding the object to be inspected 11.

在基台4之上面,以跨越保持台6之方式配置有支撐檢查單元(檢查手段)10之門型支撐構件12。在支撐構件12之前面12a之上部,設置有使檢查單元10在左右方向(Y軸方向)移動之移動機構14。藉由該移動機構14,使檢查單元10直線性移動。 On the upper surface of the base 4, a gate-type support member 12 that supports an inspection unit (inspection means) 10 is disposed across the holding table 6. On the upper portion of the front surface 12a of the support member 12, a moving mechanism 14 that moves the inspection unit 10 in the left-right direction (Y-axis direction) is provided. The inspection unit 10 is linearly moved by the moving mechanism 14.

移動機構14具備被配置在支撐構造12之前面12a且在左右方向延伸的一對導軌16。在導軌16,以能夠滑動之方式安裝構成移動機構14的移動板18。在移動板18之背面側(後面側)設置有螺帽部(無圖示),該螺帽部螺合平行於導軌16平行之滾珠螺桿20。 The moving mechanism 14 includes a pair of guide rails 16 that are disposed on the front surface 12a of the support structure 12 and that extend in the left-right direction. The moving plate 18 constituting the moving mechanism 14 is slidably attached to the guide rail 16.

The dark field imaging unit 62 shown in FIG. 3 is provided with a dark field light source 64 for dark field observation. The dark-field light 23 emitted from the dark-field light source 64 is irradiated onto the upper surface 11a of the inspection object 11 via the mirror 66 or the like. Further, the light beam of the dark-field light 23 reflected by the mirror 66 is in a state of being inclined to the upper surface 11a of the inspection object 11.

圖4係示意性表示被當作檢測單元24、26、28使用之表面檢查單元之構成例的圖示。圖4所示之表面檢查單元82具備朝向被配置在下方之被檢查物11之上面11a照射雷射光線25之雷射照射單元84。該雷射照射單元84例如將在雷射振盪器振盪之雷射光線25聚光至被 檢查物11之上面11a。 Fig. 4 is a view schematically showing a configuration example of a surface inspection unit used as the detecting units 24, 26, 28. The surface inspection unit 82 shown in FIG. 4 includes a laser irradiation unit 84 that irradiates the laser beam 25 toward the upper surface 11a of the inspection object 11 disposed below. The laser irradiation unit 84 converges, for example, the laser beam 25 oscillated by the laser oscillator to be Check the top 11a of the object 11.

在雷射光線25之被照射區域存在任何缺陷之情況下,雷射光線25由於該缺陷被散射。另外,在被照射區域不存在缺陷之情況下,雷射光線25原樣地被反射。照射單元84之雷射振盪器係例如半導體雷射,使適合於在缺陷之散射的波長(405nm等)之雷射光線25振盪。但是,雷射振盪器之種類或雷射光線25之波長等並無限制。 In the event that there is any defect in the illuminated area of the laser beam 25, the laser beam 25 is scattered due to the defect. Further, in the case where there is no defect in the irradiated area, the laser beam 25 is reflected as it is. The laser oscillator of the illumination unit 84 is, for example, a semiconductor laser that oscillates the laser beam 25 suitable for the wavelength (405 nm, etc.) at which the defect is scattered. However, the type of the laser oscillator or the wavelength of the laser beam 25 is not limited.

在照射單元84之周圍配置有聚光雷射光線25之散射光27之筒狀的聚光單元86。聚光單元86之內壁面86a之一部分或全部成為反射從兩個焦點中之一方被放射之光而聚光至另一方的橢圓鏡(旋轉橢圓鏡)。依此,例如若在一方之焦點定位被檢查物11之上面11a時,可以反射在雷射光線25之被照射區域產生的散射光27而聚光於另一方之焦點。另外,在聚光單元86之下部,形成用以取入散射光27之開口86b。 A cylindrical concentrating unit 86 that condenses the scattered light 27 of the laser beam 25 is disposed around the irradiation unit 84. One or all of the inner wall surface 86a of the concentrating unit 86 is an elliptical mirror (rotating elliptical mirror) that reflects light radiated from one of the two focal points and condenses the light to the other. Accordingly, for example, when the upper surface 11a of the inspection object 11 is positioned at one of the focal points, the scattered light 27 generated in the irradiated region of the laser beam 25 can be reflected and collected in the other focus. Further, an opening 86b for taking in the scattered light 27 is formed at a lower portion of the concentrating unit 86.

在聚光單元86之上方配置有檢測出被聚光之散射光27的檢測單元88。檢測單元88具備有能夠檢測出微弱之光的光電倍增管90。光電倍增管90被配置在上述橢圓鏡之另一方之焦點附近。依此,可以以光電倍增管90適當地檢測出因缺陷引起的微弱之散射光27。 Above the concentrating unit 86, a detecting unit 88 that detects the condensed scattered light 27 is disposed. The detecting unit 88 is provided with a photomultiplier tube 90 capable of detecting weak light. The photomultiplier tube 90 is disposed near the focus of the other of the elliptical mirrors. Accordingly, the weak scattered light 27 due to the defect can be appropriately detected by the photomultiplier tube 90.

與以光電倍增管90被檢測出之散射光27之光強度有關的資訊(檢查資訊)被送至控制單元30。另外,使用該表面檢查單元82之檢查係朝向檢測除了被形 成在被檢查物11之刮傷,或附著於上面11a之附著物等之外,被稱為霧度之微小的凹凸。 Information (inspection information) relating to the light intensity of the scattered light 27 detected by the photomultiplier tube 90 is sent to the control unit 30. In addition, the inspection system using the surface inspection unit 82 is oriented to detect the shape except It is called a small unevenness of haze, in addition to the scratch of the test object 11, or the adhering matter attached to the upper surface 11a.

圖5係示意性表示被當作檢測單元24、26、28使用之厚度測量單元之構成例的圖示。圖5所示之厚度測量單元102具備有放射檢查用之光29的光源104。該光源104係例如SLD(超發光二極體),或LED、鹵素燈等,在穿透被檢查物11之特定的波長範圍放射持有強度分布的光29。從光源104被放射之光29通過半反射鏡106、透鏡108等而被照射至被檢查物11。 Fig. 5 is a view schematically showing a configuration example of a thickness measuring unit used as the detecting units 24, 26, 28. The thickness measuring unit 102 shown in Fig. 5 is provided with a light source 104 having light 29 for radiation inspection. The light source 104 is, for example, an SLD (Super Luminescent Diode), or an LED, a halogen lamp, or the like, and emits light 29 having an intensity distribution in a specific wavelength range penetrating the test object 11. The light 29 emitted from the light source 104 is irradiated to the inspection object 11 through the half mirror 106, the lens 108, and the like.

如上述般,由於光29穿透被檢查物11,故被照射至被檢查物11之光29之一部分在被檢查物11之上面11a被反射,另外,被照射至被檢查物11之光29的另外之一部分在被檢查物11之下面11b被反射。依此,在上面11a被反射之光29和在下面11b被反射之光29的干擾光,由於因應上面11a和下面11b之光路差(相當於被檢查物11之厚度)等之複數波長而增強。 As described above, since the light 29 penetrates the object to be inspected 11, a portion of the light 29 that is irradiated onto the object to be inspected 11 is reflected on the upper surface 11a of the object to be inspected 11, and the light that is irradiated to the object to be inspected 11 is 29 The other part is reflected on the lower surface 11b of the object to be inspected 11. Accordingly, the disturbance light of the light 29 reflected on the upper surface 11a and the light 29 reflected on the lower surface 11b is enhanced by the complex wavelengths corresponding to the optical path difference (corresponding to the thickness of the inspection object 11) of the upper surface 11a and the lower surface 11b. .

上述干擾光經由半反射鏡106等而射入至以衍射光柵等而構成之分光單元110。在分光單元110之附近配置有檢測出在分光單元110被分光之光29之強度分布的線感測器112。與以線感測器112取得之干擾光之強度分布有關的資訊(檢查資訊)被送至控制單元30。 The disturbance light is incident on the spectroscopic unit 110 configured by a diffraction grating or the like via the half mirror 106 or the like. A line sensor 112 that detects the intensity distribution of the light 29 split by the spectroscopic unit 110 is disposed in the vicinity of the spectroscopic unit 110. Information (inspection information) related to the intensity distribution of the disturbance light obtained by the line sensor 112 is sent to the control unit 30.

如上述般,以線感測器112所取得之資訊,包含相當於由於複數波長增強的干擾光之分光光譜的資訊。依此,例如藉由控制單元30對在線感測器112所取 得之資訊(干擾光之分光光譜)進行傳立葉轉換(代表有高速傅立葉轉換)等,可以取得與上面11a對下面的高度(即是,被檢查物11之厚度)有關的資訊。 As described above, the information obtained by the line sensor 112 includes information corresponding to the spectral spectrum of the interference light enhanced by the complex wavelength. Accordingly, the online sensor 112 is taken, for example, by the control unit 30. The obtained information (the spectral spectrum of the disturbing light) is subjected to a Fourier transform (representing a high-speed Fourier transform) or the like, and information relating to the height of the lower surface of the above 11a (that is, the thickness of the object 11 to be inspected) can be obtained.

接著,說明以該檢查裝置2被實施之被檢查物11之檢查方法的概略。在與本實施型態有關之檢查方法中,首先實施使被檢查物11保持於檢查裝置2之保持台6的保持工程。具體而言,以上面11a露出至上方之方式,在保持面6a載置被檢查物11。在該狀態下,若使吸引源之負壓作用於保持面6a時,被檢查物11被保持台6吸引、保持。 Next, an outline of an inspection method of the inspection object 11 to be performed by the inspection apparatus 2 will be described. In the inspection method according to the present embodiment, first, the holding work for holding the inspection object 11 on the holding table 6 of the inspection device 2 is performed. Specifically, the test object 11 is placed on the holding surface 6a such that the upper surface 11a is exposed upward. In this state, when the negative pressure of the suction source is applied to the holding surface 6a, the inspection object 11 is sucked and held by the holding table 6.

在保持工程之後,實施取得各種之檢查資訊的檢查工程。圖6(A)係示意性表示檢查工程的俯視圖。如圖6(A)所示般,在該檢查工程中,一面使保持台6繞Z軸之周圍旋轉,一面使檢查單元10移動至Y軸方向。在此,保持台6和檢查單元10被配置成配合包含被保持於保持台6之被檢查物11之中心11d之直線狀之區域13,移動檢查單元10。 After the project is maintained, an inspection project that obtains various inspection information is implemented. Fig. 6(A) is a plan view schematically showing an inspection project. As shown in FIG. 6(A), in the inspection process, the inspection unit 10 is moved to the Y-axis direction while the holding table 6 is rotated around the Z-axis. Here, the holding table 6 and the inspection unit 10 are arranged to move the inspection unit 10 in cooperation with the linear region 13 including the center 11d of the inspection object 11 held by the holding table 6.

依此,當一面以適當之速度使保持台6旋轉,一面以適當之速度使檢查單元10在Y軸方向移動時,檢查單元10(檢測單元24、26、28)係以對被檢查物11描繪螺旋之軌跡之方式移動。圖6(B)係示意性表示檢查單元10(檢測單元24、26、28)對被檢查物11之軌跡的俯視圖。 According to this, when the inspection unit 10 is moved in the Y-axis direction at an appropriate speed while the holding table 6 is rotated at an appropriate speed, the inspection unit 10 (detection units 24, 26, 28) is attached to the inspection object 11 Move in a way that depicts the trajectory of the spiral. Fig. 6(B) is a plan view schematically showing the trajectory of the inspection object 10 by the inspection unit 10 (detection units 24, 26, 28).

因此,若一面使檢查單元10對被檢查物11 如上述般移動,一面以各檢測單元24、26、28連續性或斷續性地取得檢查資訊時,可以沿著軌跡15在被檢查物11之大概的全體取得檢查資訊。另外,第1控制部30a及第2控制部30b被構成可以與以各檢測單元24、26、28取得檢查資訊之時序同步,記憶檢查單元10之座標(移動板18之座標)及保持台6之旋轉角度。 Therefore, if the inspection unit 10 is placed on the inspection object 11 When the inspection information is continuously or intermittently acquired by each of the detecting units 24, 26, and 28 as described above, the inspection information can be acquired along the trajectory 15 in the approximate entirety of the inspection object 11. Further, the first control unit 30a and the second control unit 30b are configured to be synchronized with the timing at which the inspection information is acquired by each of the detecting units 24, 26, and 28, and the coordinates of the inspection unit 10 (the coordinates of the moving plate 18) and the holding table 6 are memorized. The angle of rotation.

依此,位置特定部30c可以根據被檢查物11之溝槽11c(基準點)之座標,和被記憶於第1控制部30a之檢查單元10之座標,和被記憶於第2控制部30b之保持台6之旋轉角度,在被檢查物11上特定取得檢查資訊之位置(座標)。與在位置特定部30c被特定之位置(座標)有關之資訊,在使所對應之檢查資訊具有關聯之狀態下被記憶於控制單元30。 Accordingly, the position specifying unit 30c can be stored in the second control unit 30b based on the coordinates of the groove 11c (reference point) of the inspection object 11 and the coordinates of the inspection unit 10 stored in the first control unit 30a. The position (coordinate) at which the inspection information is specifically obtained on the inspection object 11 is maintained at the rotation angle of the table 6. The information relating to the specific position (coordinate) of the position specifying unit 30c is memorized in the control unit 30 in a state in which the corresponding inspection information is associated.

另外,在該檢查工程中,藉由在上述態樣下使一體性具備檢測單元24、26、28之檢查單元10移動,可以一次取得複數(在本實施型態中,為3種類)之檢查資訊。依此,比起使複數檢測單元個別移動而取得複數檢查資訊之情況等,可以縮短被檢查物11之檢查所需的時間。 Further, in the inspection project, by moving the inspection unit 10 including the detection units 24, 26, and 28 integrally in the above-described manner, it is possible to obtain a plurality of inspections (three types in the present embodiment) in one time. News. According to this, it is possible to shorten the time required for the inspection of the inspection object 11 compared to the case where the plurality of inspection units are individually moved to obtain the plurality of inspection information.

於檢查工程之後,因應所需實施使各檢查資訊予以畫像化的畫像生成工程。如上述般,與在位置特定部30c被特定之位置(座標)有關之資訊,在使所對應之檢查資訊具有關聯之狀態下被記憶於控制單元30。依此,配合取得複數檢查資訊之位置(座標)而進行配列 (匹配),可以生成例如與被加工物11之全體對應的畫像。 After the inspection of the project, the image generation project for visualizing each inspection information is carried out in accordance with the requirements. As described above, the information relating to the position (coordinate) specified by the position specifying unit 30c is stored in the control unit 30 in a state in which the corresponding inspection information is associated. According to this, the position (coordinate) of the plurality of inspection information is matched. (Matching), for example, an image corresponding to the entire workpiece 11 can be generated.

另外,該畫像生成工程係在畫像生成部30d被實施。被生成之畫像被記憶於控制單元30,因應所需被顯示於顯示器32。但是,於檢查資訊之數量少之情況等,無須使檢查資訊視覺化之情況下,即使省略該畫像生成工程亦可。 In addition, the image generation engineering system is implemented in the image generation unit 30d. The generated image is memorized in the control unit 30 and displayed on the display 32 as needed. However, in the case where the amount of inspection information is small, it is not necessary to visualize the inspection information, and even if the image generation project is omitted.

FIG. 7(B) is a view schematically showing an example of an image based on inspection information acquired by the dark-field imaging unit 62. The presence of the attached matter can be confirmed from the image shown in Fig. 7(A).

圖8(A)係表示以表面檢查單元82所測量的散射光強度之例的曲線圖。散射光之光強度一般在存在缺陷之區域變大。依此,在例如某區域(位置、座標)測量出之散射光之光強度超過事先設定之臨界值Ith之情況等。可以判定在其區域存在缺陷。該判定以例如控制單元30等進行。 Fig. 8(A) is a graph showing an example of the intensity of scattered light measured by the surface inspection unit 82. The intensity of the scattered light generally increases in areas where defects are present. Accordingly, for example, the light intensity of the scattered light measured in a certain region (position, coordinates) exceeds a threshold value I th set in advance. It can be determined that there is a defect in its area. This determination is performed by, for example, the control unit 30 or the like.

圖8(B)係示意性表示根據在厚度測量單元102所取得之檢查資訊的畫像之例的圖示。從圖8(B)所示之畫像可知在被檢查物11形成有同心圓狀之凹凸圖案。 FIG. 8(B) is a view schematically showing an example of an image based on the inspection information acquired by the thickness measuring unit 102. As is clear from the image shown in FIG. 8(B), a concavo-convex pattern of concentric circles is formed on the test object 11.

In addition, since the inspection unit 10 including the plurality of detection units 24, 26, and 28 is linearly moved to obtain the plurality of inspection information at a time, it is possible to shorten the comparison information by acquiring the plurality of inspection information by moving the plurality of detection units individually. The time required for the inspection of the object 11 to be inspected. Moreover, since the operation of the inspection unit 10 is simple, a complicated moving mechanism or control is not required.

另外,本發明並不限定於上述實施型態之記載,能夠做各種變更而加以實施。例如,在上述實施型態中,雖然針對亮視野攝影單元42、暗視野攝影單元62、表面檢查單元82、厚度測量單元102而加以例示,但是即使使用其他檢測單元亦可。 In addition, the invention is not limited to the description of the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made. For example, in the above embodiment, although the bright-field imaging unit 42, the dark-field imaging unit 62, the surface inspection unit 82, and the thickness measuring unit 102 are exemplified, other detection units may be used.

其他,與上述實施型態有關之構造、方法等只要在不脫離本發明之目的的範圍,可以適當變更而加以實施。 In addition, the structure, the method, and the like according to the above-described embodiments may be modified as appropriate without departing from the scope of the invention.
