By calculating the difference between each of a plurality of SEM images (inspection images) other than the template and the template, it is used to detect defects on the circuit pattern of the wafer shown in the inspection image.

在缺陷檢查裝置中,即使為不具有缺陷之檢查對象物,其存在有可能被判定為具有缺陷的情形。於此情形下,雖然其不具有缺陷,但是由於被取得錯誤之檢查結果而將檢查對象物廢棄,因而會造成良率降低。因此,期盼能以更高之精度來進行檢查。In the defect inspection device, there are cases where it may be judged to have a defect even if it is an inspection target object that does not have a defect. In this case, although it does not have a defect, the inspection target object is discarded due to an erroneous inspection result being obtained, resulting in a decrease in yield. Therefore, it is desired to perform inspection with higher accuracy.

In this training material creation support device, the inspection is presented based on the difference data showing the difference between the abnormal data showing the image of the inspection object judged to be defective in advance and the normal data showing the image of the normal inspection object. An image of a part of an object. There is a high possibility that re-inspection is required for the part of the inspection target object in the image displayed based on the difference data. Therefore, the user can create training materials for rechecking the part by confirming the displayed image. With this, it is possible to easily create training data for inspection using high precision.

(2)訓練資料製作支援裝置,其亦可更進一步具備有:受理部,其受理藉由提示部所提示的差分資料之選擇;及登錄部,其登錄藉由受理部受理有選擇的差分資料來作為訓練資料。在此情形下,登錄藉由使用者所選擇之差分資料來作為訓練資料。藉此,其可更容易地製作訓練資料。(2) The training data production support device may be further equipped with: a reception unit that accepts the selection of differential data presented by the presentation unit; and a registration unit that accepts the selected differential data for registration by the reception unit as training material. In this case, the difference data selected by the user is registered as the training data. In this way, it is easier to create training materials.

(3)受理部亦可更進一步受理藉由提示部所提示的差分資料之修正,登錄部亦可登錄修正後之差分資料來作為訓練資料。於此情形下,其可更適當地修正在根據差分資料之圖像中所需要進行檢查對象物的再檢查之部分。藉此,其可製作使用更高精度以進行檢查的訓練資料。(3) The acceptance unit can further accept the correction of the difference data presented by the prompt unit, and the registration unit can also register the corrected difference data as training data. In this case, it is possible to more appropriately correct the portion of the image based on the difference data that requires re-inspection of the inspection object.

(4)正常資料取得部亦可以與異常資料對應之方式取得複數個正常資料,差分資料生成部亦可根據異常資料、與相對應於該異常資料的複數個正常資料,以生成複數個差分資料。於此情形下,自一個異常資料生成多數個差分資料。藉此,可提高訓練資料製作之作業效率。 (4) The normal data acquisition unit can also obtain a plurality of normal data in a manner corresponding to the abnormal data, and the differential data generation unit can also generate a plurality of differential data based on the abnormal data and the plurality of normal data corresponding to the abnormal data . In this case, a plurality of difference data are generated from one anomalous data. Thereby, the operation efficiency of training material production can be improved.

(5)正常資料取得部亦可以與異常資料相對應之方式取得複數個正常資料,差分資料生成部亦可根據異常資料、與相對應於該異常資料的複數個正常資料之平均,以生成差分資料。根據該構成,即使在複數個正常資料中之任一個中意外地被混入有與缺陷無關之雜訊成分的情形下,亦對複數個正常資料進行平均,因此雜訊成分幾乎不對平均後之正常資料之像素值產生影響。因此,可製作用以使用更高精度來進行檢查的訓練資料。(5) The normal data acquisition part can also obtain a plurality of normal data corresponding to the abnormal data, and the difference data generation part can also generate a difference based on the average of the abnormal data and the plurality of normal data corresponding to the abnormal data material. According to this configuration, even if a noise component unrelated to a defect is accidentally mixed into any of the plurality of normal data, the plurality of normal data is averaged, so the noise component is hardly equal to the averaged normal data. The pixel value of the data is affected. Therefore, training data for inspection with higher precision can be produced.

(6)正常資料取得部亦可以與複數個異常資料相對應之方式取得正常資料,差分資料生成部亦可根據各異常資料、與相對應於該異常資料的正常資料,來生成差分資料。於此情形下,可使用共同之正常資料高速地製作訓練資料。(6) The normal data obtaining unit can also obtain normal data corresponding to a plurality of abnormal data, and the differential data generating unit can also generate differential data based on each abnormal data and the normal data corresponding to the abnormal data. In this case, training data can be created at high speed using common normal data.

(7)藉由正常資料取得部所取得的正常資料,亦可包含顯示:事先未被判定為具有缺陷的檢查對象物之圖像的圖像資料。於此情形下,其可容易取得顯示正常之檢查對象物之圖像的正常資料。(7) The normal data acquired by the normal data acquisition unit may include image data showing images of inspection objects that have not been previously judged to have defects.

(9)正常資料取得部亦可取得根據檢查對象物之加工精度作修正的主資料來作為正常資料。根據該構成,即使於檢查對象區域為微細之情形下,亦可容易取得顯示正常檢查對象物之圖像的正常資料。(9) The normal data acquisition department can also obtain the master data corrected according to the processing accuracy of the inspection object as normal data. According to this configuration, even when the inspection target area is fine, normal data showing an image of a normal inspection target object can be easily acquired.

(10)藉由異常資料取得部所取得之異常資料及藉由正常資料取得部所取得之正常資料,被設定非檢查對象區域,而差分資料生成部亦可將所被設定之非檢查對象區域排除在外,來生成差分資料,如此亦可。於此情形下,其可防止於差分資料所顯示之圖像中含有檢查對象區域以外之部分。藉此,可製作用來實施更高精度檢查的訓練資料。(10) The abnormal data obtained by the abnormal data acquisition unit and the normal data obtained by the normal data acquisition unit are set as non-inspection target areas, and the differential data generation unit can also set the set non-inspection target areas Excluded to generate differential data, and so on. In this case, it is possible to prevent the image displayed by the differential data from including parts other than the inspection target area. Thereby, it is possible to create training data for performing higher-precision inspections.

(11)異常資料取得部亦可更進一步取得缺陷資訊,該缺陷資訊係顯示有關與所取得之異常資料相對應之檢查對象物的缺陷之種類,差分資料生成部亦可對生成之差分資料提供藉由異常資料取得部所取得的缺陷資訊。於此情形下,使用者不需要進行對訓練資料提供缺陷資訊之作業。藉此,則可減輕使用者之負擔,並且可提高訓練資料製作之作業效率。此外,由於其不會產生伴隨著使用者之作業的錯誤產生,因此可製作更準確之訓練資料。(11) The abnormal data acquisition department can further obtain defect information, which shows the type of defect of the inspection object corresponding to the obtained abnormal data, and the differential data generation department can also provide the generated differential data. Defect information acquired by the Abnormal Data Acquisition Department. In this case, the user does not need to perform the operation of providing defect information to the training data. Thereby, the burden on the user can be reduced, and the work efficiency of training material production can be improved. In addition, since it does not cause errors accompanying the user's work, more accurate training materials can be produced.

(12)異常資料取得部亦可取得被二值化處理的異常資料,正常資料取得部亦可取得被二值化處理的正常資料。於此情形下,由於將異常資料及正常資料之資料量削減,因此可高速地製作訓練資料。(12) The abnormal data acquisition unit can also acquire binarized abnormal data, and the normal data acquisition unit can also acquire binarized normal data. In this case, since the amount of abnormal data and normal data is reduced, training data can be created at high speed.

(13)本發明之另一態樣之訓練資料製作支援方法,其支援被使用於檢查對象物之再檢查的訓練資料之製作的訓練資料製作支援方法,其包含以下之步驟:取得異常資料的步驟,該異常資料係顯示事先被判定為具有缺陷的檢查對象物之圖像;以與所取得之異常資料相對應之方式,取得顯示正常之檢查對象物之圖像的正常資料的步驟;生成差分資料的步驟,該差分資料係顯示所取得之異常資料、與以相對應於該異常資料之方式所取得之正常資料的差分;及根據所生成之差分資料,提示檢查對象物之部分之圖像的步驟。(13) Another aspect of the present invention is a training data production support method, which supports the production of training data used for re-inspection of inspection objects, and includes the following steps: acquiring abnormal data Steps, the abnormal data is to display the image of the inspection object judged to have defects in advance; the step of obtaining normal data showing the image of the normal inspection object in a manner corresponding to the obtained abnormal data; generating The step of differential data, the differential data is to show the difference between the obtained abnormal data and the normal data obtained in a manner corresponding to the abnormal data; and a diagram showing the portion of the object to be inspected based on the generated differential data like steps.

若根據該訓練資料製作支援方法,則根據顯示事先被判定為具有缺陷的檢查對象物之圖像的異常資料、與顯示正常之檢查對象物之圖像的正常資料之差分的差分資料而來提示檢查對象物之部分之圖像。在根據差分資料所顯示之圖像中之檢查對象物之部分,其需要再檢查之可能性很高。因此,使用者可藉由確認所提示之圖像,而製作用以再檢查該部分的訓練資料。藉此,則可容易製作可更高精度來進行檢查的訓練資料。When the support method is created based on the training data, it is presented based on the difference data showing the difference between the abnormal data showing the image of the inspection object judged to be defective in advance and the normal data showing the image of the normal inspection object. An image of a portion of an object to be inspected. The part of the inspection object in the image displayed based on the differential data is highly likely to require re-inspection. Therefore, the user can create training data for rechecking the part by confirming the displayed image. This makes it possible to easily create training data that can be inspected with higher accuracy.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the support device 40 includes an abnormal data acquisition unit 41 , a normal data acquisition unit 42 , a differential data generation unit 43 , a presentation unit 44 , a reception unit 45 and a registration unit 46 as functional units. The CPU 11 in FIG. 1 executes the support program stored in the ROM 13 or the memory device 14, thereby realizing the functional part of the support device 40. Part or all of the functional parts of the support device 40 may also be realized by hardware such as electronic circuits.

異常資料取得部41係自檢查裝置20取得圖像資料(以下,稱為異常資料),該圖像資料係顯示藉由檢查裝置20事先被判定為具有缺陷的各基板之圖像。圖像資料可顯示基板整體之圖像,若為相同區域亦可顯示基板之部分之圖像。於圖3之左上部顯示出根據藉由異常資料取得部41所取得之異常資料的基板之圖像的一部分。The abnormality data acquiring unit 41 acquires image data (hereinafter referred to as abnormality data) from the inspection device 20 , and the image data is an image of each substrate judged to have a defect in advance by the inspection device 20 . The image data can display the image of the whole substrate, and if it is the same area, it can also display the image of a part of the substrate. A part of the image of the substrate based on the abnormality data acquired by the abnormality data acquisition part 41 is shown in the upper left part of FIG. 3 .

正常資料取得部42係以與藉由異常資料取得部41所取得之各異常資料相對應之方式,取得顯示正常之基板圖像的圖像資料(以下,稱為正常資料)。於本例中,正常資料係顯示藉由檢查裝置20事先未被判定為具有缺陷的基板之圖像的既定之圖像資料,且自檢查裝置20所取得。於圖3之左下部,顯示出根據藉由正常資料取得部42所取得之正常資料的基板之圖像之一部分。 The normal data acquiring unit 42 acquires image data (hereinafter, referred to as normal data) showing a normal board image so as to correspond to each abnormal data acquired by the abnormal data acquiring unit 41 . In this example, the normal data is predetermined image data showing an image of a substrate not previously determined to have a defect by the inspection device 20 , and is acquired from the inspection device 20 . In the lower left part of FIG. 3 , a part of the image of the substrate based on the normal data obtained by the normal data obtaining part 42 is shown.

異常資料與正常資料相互對應。例如,於藉由異常資料取得部41取得有異常資料之情形下,亦可藉由正常資料取得部42取得具有該異常資料之識別號碼之前一個的識別號碼且顯示正常之基板圖像的圖像資料,來作為正常資料。或者,當藉由異常資料取得部41取得異常資料之情形時,亦可藉由正常資料取得部42取得具有該異常資料之識別號碼之後一個的識別號碼且顯示正常之基板圖像的圖像資料,來作為正常資料。Abnormal data correspond to normal data. For example, in the case that abnormal data is obtained by the abnormal data obtaining unit 41, the normal data obtaining unit 42 may also obtain an image having an identification number preceding the identification number of the abnormal data and displaying a normal substrate image. data, as normal data. Or, when the abnormal data is obtained by the abnormal data acquisition part 41, the normal data acquisition part 42 can also obtain the image data having an identification number next to the identification number of the abnormal data and displaying a normal substrate image. , as normal data.

差分資料生成部43係藉由算出藉由異常資料取得部41所取得的異常資料、與以相對應於該異常資料之方式藉由正常資料取得部42所取得的正常資料的各像素值之差分,來生成新的圖像資料。在此,將藉由差分資料生成部43所生成的圖像資料稱為差分資料。於圖3之右部,顯示出根據藉由差分資料生成部43所生成之差分資料的基板圖像。差分資料係顯示在基板中需要再檢查之可能性高的部分之圖像。因此,差分資料可成為顯示在基板中需要再檢查之部分的標記。The differential data generation unit 43 calculates the difference between the abnormal data acquired by the abnormal data acquisition unit 41 and the normal data acquired by the normal data acquisition unit 42 in a manner corresponding to the abnormal data. , to generate new image data. Here, the image data generated by the difference data generation unit 43 is referred to as difference data. In the right part of FIG. 3 , a substrate image based on the differential data generated by the differential data generating unit 43 is displayed. The differential data is an image showing a portion of the board that is likely to require re-inspection. Thus, the differential data can be used as a marker showing which parts of the substrate need to be re-inspected.

提示部44藉由使顯示裝置16顯示GUI50(圖4)而對使用者提示各差分資料,該GUI50係包含根據藉由差分資料生成部43所生成之各差分資料的圖像。如圖4所示,GUI50包含圖像顯示區域51、登錄鍵52及修正鍵53。於圖像顯示區域51顯示出測定對象物之複數個圖像。於本例中,根據差分資料之圖像以與根據異常資料之圖像相重疊之方式被顯示於圖像顯示區域51,但是其亦可於圖像顯示區域51僅顯示根據差分資料之圖像。The presentation unit 44 presents the difference data to the user by causing the display device 16 to display a GUI 50 ( FIG. 4 ) including an image based on the respective difference data generated by the difference data generation unit 43 . As shown in FIG. 4 , the GUI 50 includes an image display area 51 , a login key 52 , and a correction key 53 . A plurality of images of the object to be measured are displayed in the image display area 51 . In this example, the image based on the differential data is displayed in the image display area 51 in a manner of overlapping with the image based on the abnormal data, but it is also possible to display only the image based on the differential data in the image display area 51 .

受理部45接受差分資料登錄之指示。具體而言,受理部45係在藉由提示部44所顯示之GUI50中自操作部15受理選擇所登錄之差分資料來作為訓練資料。使用者可藉由一面辨識顯示於圖像顯示區域51的圖像,一面利用操作部15選擇任意之圖像,而藉由操作登錄鍵52,選擇顯示該圖像的差分資料作為訓練資料的指示供給至受理部45。登錄部46係將藉由受理部45受理選擇的差分資料而作為訓練資料登錄於資料庫記憶裝置30。The accepting unit 45 accepts the instruction to register the difference data. Specifically, the acceptance unit 45 accepts from the operation unit 15 the selection of the registered difference data as training data in the GUI 50 displayed by the presentation unit 44 . The user can select an arbitrary image by using the operation unit 15 while recognizing the image displayed in the image display area 51, and by operating the registration key 52, select the differential data displayed on the image as an instruction for training data. It is supplied to the receiving unit 45 . The registration unit 46 registers the difference data selected by the acceptance unit 45 in the database memory device 30 as training data.

此外,受理部45可受理差分資料之修正。使用者,藉由使用操作部15選擇圖像顯示區域51之任意圖像,並藉由操作修正鍵53以對受理部45指示與該圖像相對應的差分資料之修正。此外,使用者亦可於選擇之圖像中,使用操作部15來進行指定需要再檢查之部分的塗色等。In addition, the accepting unit 45 can accept correction of difference data. The user selects an arbitrary image in the image display area 51 by using the operation unit 15 , and instructs the receiving unit 45 to correct the difference data corresponding to the image by operating the correction key 53 . In addition, the user may use the operation unit 15 to perform coloring, etc. for specifying a portion to be re-inspected in the selected image.

當藉由受理部45受理指定之情形下,差分資料生成部43則對所被選擇之差分資料賦予顯示受理指定之部分的標記。藉此,對差分資料進行修正。在進行差分資料之修正之後,當被操作登錄鍵52時,登錄部46則將修正後之差分資料作為訓練資料登錄於資料庫記憶裝置30。When the designation is accepted by the accepting unit 45, the differential data generating unit 43 gives the selected differential data a mark indicating a portion where the designation is accepted. In this way, the differential data is corrected. After the difference data is corrected, when the registration key 52 is operated, the registration unit 46 registers the corrected difference data as training data in the database memory device 30 .

(3)支援處理 圖5為顯示藉由圖2之支援裝置40所進行之支援處理的流程圖。圖5之支援處理,係藉由圖1之CPU11在RAM12上執行被記憶於ROM13或記憶裝置14等的支援程式而來執行。以下,使用圖2之支援裝置40及圖5之流程圖對支援處理進行說明。 (3) Support processing FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing support processing performed by the support device 40 of FIG. 2 . The support processing in FIG. 5 is executed by CPU 11 in FIG. 1 executing a support program stored in ROM 13 or memory device 14 on RAM 12 . Hereinafter, support processing will be described using the support device 40 in FIG. 2 and the flowchart in FIG. 5 .

首先,異常資料取得部41係自檢查裝置20取得各異常資料(步驟S1)。接著,正常資料取得部42自檢查裝置20取得與於步驟S1中所取得之各異常資料相對應的正常資料(步驟S2)。步驟S1、S2亦可同時被執行。First, the abnormality data acquisition part 41 acquires each abnormality data from the inspection apparatus 20 (step S1). Next, the normal data acquisition part 42 acquires normal data corresponding to each abnormal data acquired in step S1 from the inspection apparatus 20 (step S2). Steps S1 and S2 can also be executed simultaneously.

然後,差分資料生成部43根據於步驟S1、S2中分別所取得之相互對應之異常資料及正常資料,生成各差分資料(步驟S3)。然後,提示部44藉由使顯示裝置16顯示根據於步驟S3中所生成之各差分資料的圖像,對使用者提示各差分資料(步驟S4)。Then, the difference data generation unit 43 generates each difference data based on the corresponding abnormal data and normal data respectively acquired in steps S1 and S2 (step S3). Then, the presentation unit 44 presents each differential data to the user by causing the display device 16 to display an image based on each differential data generated in step S3 (step S4).

接著,受理部45判定是否受理在步驟S4中所提示之差分資料中之任一個差分資料之修正(步驟S5)。當不受理差分資料之修正時,受理部45進入至步驟S7。當受理任一個差分資料之修正時,差分資料生成部43藉由對該差分資料賦予顯示受理有修正之指定之部分的標記,而修正差分資料(步驟S6),且進入至步驟S7。Next, the acceptance unit 45 judges whether to accept correction of any one of the difference data presented in step S4 (step S5). When the correction of the difference data is not accepted, the accepting unit 45 proceeds to step S7. When the correction of any one of the differential data is accepted, the differential data generation unit 43 corrects the differential data by marking the differential data indicating a portion where a designation of correction is accepted (step S6), and proceeds to step S7.

於步驟S7中,受理部45判定是否有於步驟S4中所提示之差分資料或於步驟S6中所修正之差分資料中之任一個差分資料的登錄之指示(步驟S7)。當未指示有差分資料之登錄時,受理部45進入至步驟S9。當指示有任一個之差分資料之登錄時,登錄部46將所指示之差分資料作為訓練資料登錄於資料庫記憶裝置30(步驟S8),並進入至步驟S9。In step S7, the acceptance unit 45 judges whether there is an instruction to register any one of the difference data presented in step S4 or the difference data corrected in step S6 (step S7). When there is no instruction to register the difference data, the accepting unit 45 proceeds to step S9. When registration of any one of the differential data is instructed, the registration unit 46 registers the instructed differential data as training data in the database memory device 30 (step S8), and proceeds to step S9.

於步驟S9中,登錄部46判定是否有結束之指示(步驟S9)。使用者可藉由使用操作部15進行既定之操作,來指示結束或繼續。當未指示有結束之情形時,登錄部46返回至步驟S5。當更進一步登錄差分資料時,使用者指示繼續而不指示結束。當指示結束時,登錄部46則結束支援處理。In step S9, the registration unit 46 determines whether there is an instruction to end (step S9). The user can instruct to end or continue by performing a predetermined operation using the operation unit 15 . When there is no instruction to end, the registration unit 46 returns to step S5. When further registering differential data, the user instructs to continue without instructing to end. When the instruction ends, the registration unit 46 ends the support process.

(4)效果 於本實施形態之支援裝置40中,藉由異常資料取得部41取得異常資料,該異常資料係顯示事先被判定為具有缺陷的檢查對象物之圖像。藉由正常資料取得部42,以與藉由異常資料取得部41所取得之異常資料相對應之方式,取得顯示正常之檢查對象物之圖像的正常資料。藉由差分資料生成部43生成差分資料,該差分資料顯示藉由異常資料取得部41所取得之異常資料、與以與該異常資料對應之方式藉由正常資料取得部42所取得之正常資料的差分。在根據差分資料所顯示之圖像中,檢查對象物之部分被需要再檢查之可能性很高。 (4) Effect In the support device 40 of this embodiment, the abnormality data displaying the image of the inspection object judged to have a defect in advance is acquired by the abnormality data acquisition part 41. The normal data showing the image of the normal inspection object is acquired by the normal data acquisition unit 42 in such a manner as to correspond to the abnormal data acquired by the abnormal data acquisition unit 41 . Differential data showing the difference between the abnormal data obtained by the abnormal data obtaining part 41 and the normal data obtained by the normal data obtaining part 42 in a manner corresponding to the abnormal data is generated by the differential data generating part 43. difference. In the image displayed based on the difference data, there is a high possibility that a part of the inspection object needs to be re-inspected.

因此,根據利用差分資料生成部43所生成的差分資料,則藉由提示部44被提示檢查對象物之部分圖像。受理部45受理利用提示部44所提示的差分資料之選擇。登錄部46將利用受理部45受理選擇的差分資料作為訓練資料而登錄於資料庫記憶裝置30。在此情形下,使用者藉由一面辨識所提示之圖像一面選擇與期望之圖像相對應的差分資料,藉此則可將被選擇之差分資料登錄作為訓練資料。藉此,其可更容易地製作訓練資料。Therefore, the partial image of the object to be inspected is presented by the presentation unit 44 based on the difference data generated by the difference data generation unit 43 . The accepting unit 45 accepts the selection of the difference data presented by the presenting unit 44 . The registration unit 46 registers the difference data selected by the accepting unit 45 in the database storage device 30 as training data. In this case, the user selects the differential data corresponding to the desired image while recognizing the suggested image, thereby registering the selected differential data as training data. In this way, it is easier to create training materials.

此外,受理部45更進一步受理藉由提示部44所被提示的差分資料之修正。登錄部46登錄修正後之差分資料以作為訓練資料。於此情形下,使用者可更適當地修正根據差分資料在圖像中所需要進行檢查對象物之再檢查的部分。藉此,則可製作可實施更高精度檢查的訓練資料。In addition, the accepting unit 45 further accepts correction of the difference data presented by the presenting unit 44 . The registration unit 46 registers the corrected difference data as training data. In this case, the user can more appropriately correct the portion of the image that needs to be re-inspected of the inspection object based on the difference data. Thereby, it is possible to create training data that can perform higher-precision inspection.

(5)變形例 圖6為顯示於第一變形例中被使用於訓練資料之製作的各種資料的圖。於第一變形例中,使用者可將顯示檢查對象區域外的非檢查對象區域預先登錄於檢查裝置20。當登錄有非檢查對象區域時,檢查裝置20則於所生成之圖像資料中設定非檢查對象區域。 (5) Modification FIG. 6 is a diagram showing various data used for creation of training data in the first modified example. In the first modified example, the user may pre-register the non-inspection target area outside the displayed inspection target area in the inspection device 20 . When a non-inspection target area is registered, the inspection device 20 sets a non-inspection target area in the generated image data.

因此,如圖6之左上部所示,於藉由異常資料取得部41所取得之異常資料中設定有非檢查對象區域。同樣地,如圖6之左下部所示,於藉由正常資料取得部42所取得之正常資料中設定有非檢查對象區域。於此情形下,如圖6之右部所示,當將所設定之非檢查對象區域排除在外時,差分資料生成部43則藉由計算異常資料與相對應於該異常資料之正常資料的各像素值之差分,以生成差分資料。在差分資料中之非檢查對象區域之像素值亦可被設定為0。Therefore, as shown in the upper left part of FIG. 6 , a non-inspection target area is set in the abnormality data obtained by the abnormality data obtaining unit 41 . Similarly, as shown in the lower left part of FIG. 6 , a non-inspection target area is set in the normal data acquired by the normal data acquisition unit 42 . In this case, as shown in the right part of FIG. 6, when the set non-inspection object area is excluded, the differential data generation unit 43 calculates the difference between the abnormal data and the normal data corresponding to the abnormal data. Difference of pixel values to generate difference data. The pixel value of the non-inspection object area in the differential data can also be set to 0.

在此情形下,其可防止對檢查對象區域外之部分提供顯示需要再檢查之部分的標記。藉此,則可製作更高精度進行檢查的訓練資料。此外,由於檢查對象區域外之部分不再被檢查,因此可藉由使用所製作之訓練資料,高速地進行基板之再檢查。In this case, it is possible to prevent a mark showing a portion requiring re-inspection from being provided for a portion outside the inspection target area. This makes it possible to create training data for inspection with higher accuracy. In addition, since parts outside the inspection target area are not inspected, board re-inspection can be performed at high speed by using the prepared training data.

圖7為顯示於第二變形例中被使用於訓練資料之製作的各種資料的圖。如圖7之左上部所示,異常資料取得部41取得異常資料,並且取得顯示在該異常資料所顯示之圖像中基板之缺陷種類的缺陷資訊。如圖7之右部所示,差分資料生成部43係對所生成之差分資料提供藉由異常資料取得部41所取得之缺陷資訊。於GUI50之圖像顯示區域51中,根據差分資料,圖像亦可顯示缺陷之種類的態樣(例如色彩)。FIG. 7 is a diagram showing various data used for creation of training data in the second modification. As shown in the upper left part of FIG. 7 , the abnormality data acquiring unit 41 acquires abnormality data, and acquires defect information indicating the defect type of the substrate in the image displayed by the abnormality data. As shown in the right part of FIG. 7 , the differential data generating unit 43 provides the generated differential data with defect information acquired by the abnormal data acquiring unit 41 . In the image display area 51 of the GUI 50, based on the difference data, the image can also display the type of defect (such as color).

在此情形下,使用者不需要進行對訓練資料提供缺陷資訊的作業。藉此,可減輕使用者之負擔,並且可提高訓練資料製作之作業效率。此外,由於不會產生伴隨著使用者所致作業的錯誤,因此可製作更準確之訓練資料。In this case, the user does not need to perform the operation of providing defect information to the training data. Thereby, the burden on the user can be reduced, and the work efficiency of training material production can be improved. In addition, more accurate training materials can be created because no errors will occur due to user-induced operations.

圖8為顯示於第三變形例中被使用於訓練資料之製作的各種資料的圖。於第三變形例中,使用者可於檢查裝置20預先設定對圖像資料進行二值化處理的內容。在設定有進行二值化處理之情形下,檢查裝置20生成被二值化的圖像資料。FIG. 8 is a diagram showing various data used for creation of training data in the third modified example. In the third modification, the user can preset the contents of binarization processing on the image data in the inspection device 20 . When it is set to perform binarization processing, the inspection device 20 generates binarized image data.

因此,如圖8之左上部所示,異常資料取得部41取得被二值化處理的異常資料。同樣地,如圖8之左下部所示,正常資料取得部42取得被二值化處理的正常資料。如圖8之右部所示,差分資料生成部43係藉由計算被二值化的異常資料與相對應於該異常資料被二值化之正常資料的各像素值之差分,來生成差分資料。Therefore, as shown in the upper left part of FIG. 8 , the abnormality data acquisition unit 41 acquires the abnormality data subjected to the binarization process. Similarly, as shown in the lower left part of FIG. 8 , the normal data acquisition unit 42 acquires binarized normal data. As shown in the right part of FIG. 8 , the differential data generating unit 43 generates differential data by calculating the difference between the binarized abnormal data and the pixel values corresponding to the binarized normal data. .

於此情形下,由於圖像資料之資料量被削減,因此可高速地製作訓練資料。此外,藉由使用所被製作之訓練資料,則可高速地進行基板之再檢查。In this case, since the amount of image data is reduced, training data can be created at high speed. In addition, by using the prepared training data, the re-inspection of the board can be performed at high speed.

[2]第二實施形態 於第一實施形態中,雖然正常資料取得部42係以一個正常資料與一個異常資料相對應之方式取得正常資料,但是本實施形態並不被限定於此。以下對在第二〜第四實施形態中之支援處理,與在第一實施形態中之支援處理不同之處進行說明。 [2] Second Embodiment In the first embodiment, although the normal data acquisition unit 42 acquires normal data in such a manner that one normal data corresponds to one abnormal data, this embodiment is not limited to this. The difference between the support processing in the second to fourth embodiments and the support processing in the first embodiment will be described below.

圖9為顯示於第二實施形態中被使用於訓練資料之製作的各種資料的圖。於本實施形態中,如圖9之左下部所示,以複數個正常資料與一個異常資料相對應之方式取得複數個正常資料。差分資料生成部43係藉由計算一個異常資料與相對應於該異常資料之各正常資料的各像素值之差分,來生成差分資料。因此,如圖9之右部所示,對應於一個異常資料生成有複數個差分資料。Fig. 9 is a diagram showing various data used for creation of training data in the second embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in the lower left part of FIG. 9 , a plurality of normal data is acquired in such a manner that a plurality of normal data corresponds to one abnormal data. The differential data generation unit 43 generates differential data by calculating the difference between the pixel values of an abnormal data and normal data corresponding to the abnormal data. Therefore, as shown in the right part of FIG. 9 , a plurality of difference data are generated corresponding to one abnormal data.

根據該構成,自一個異常資料生成多數個差分資料。藉此,可提高訓練資料製作之作業效率。According to this configuration, a plurality of difference data are generated from one abnormal data. Thereby, the operation efficiency of training material production can be improved.

[3]第三實施形態 圖10為顯示於第三實施形態中被使用於訓練資料之製作的各種資料的圖。於本實施形態中,如圖10之左下部所示,以複數個正常資料與一個異常資料相對應之方式,取得複數個正常資料。差分資料生成部43係藉由計算一個異常資料、與相對應於該異常資料之複數個正常資料之平均的各像素值之差分,來生成差分資料。因此,如圖10之右部所示,對應於一個異常資料生成有一個差分資料。 [3] Third Embodiment Fig. 10 is a diagram showing various data used for creation of training data in the third embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in the lower left part of FIG. 10, a plurality of normal data is obtained in such a manner that a plurality of normal data corresponds to one abnormal data. The differential data generation unit 43 generates differential data by calculating the difference between one abnormal data and the average pixel value of a plurality of normal data corresponding to the abnormal data. Therefore, as shown in the right part of FIG. 10 , one difference data is generated corresponding to one abnormal data.

根據該構成,即使於複數個正常資料之任一個中意外地混入有與缺陷無關之雜訊成分時,複數個正常資料被平均,因此雜訊成分幾乎不會對平均後之正常資料之像素值產生影響。因此,藉由使用平均後之正常資料,則可製作用以更高精度地進行檢查的訓練資料。According to this configuration, even if a noise component unrelated to a defect is accidentally mixed in any of the plurality of normal data, the plurality of normal data is averaged, so the noise component hardly affects the pixel value of the averaged normal data. make an impact. Therefore, by using the averaged normal data, it is possible to create training data for inspection with higher accuracy.

[4]第四實施形態 圖11為顯示於第四實施形態中被使用於訓練資料之製作的各種資料的圖。於本實施形態中,如圖11之左上部所示,以一個正常資料與複數個異常資料相對應之方式,取得正常資料。差分資料生成部43係根據各異常資料、與對應於該異常資料的正常資料,來生成差分資料。因此,如圖11之右部所示,其生成分別與複數個異常資料相對應的複數個差分資料。 [4] Fourth Embodiment Fig. 11 is a diagram showing various data used for creation of training data in the fourth embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in the upper left part of FIG. 11 , normal data is obtained in such a manner that one normal data corresponds to a plurality of abnormal data. The difference data generation unit 43 generates difference data based on each abnormal data and normal data corresponding to the abnormal data. Therefore, as shown in the right part of FIG. 11 , a plurality of difference data corresponding to a plurality of abnormal data are generated.

根據該構成,由於不需要於每次取得異常資料時皆取得正常資料,因此可使用共同之正常資料而高速地製作訓練資料。於本實施形態中,亦可藉由正常資料取得部42取得顯示預先所被準備之正常基板之圖像的圖像資料來作為正常資料。於此情形下,在支援處理中之步驟S2,亦可於步驟S1之前執行。According to this configuration, since normal data does not need to be obtained every time abnormal data is obtained, training data can be created at high speed using common normal data. In this embodiment, image data showing an image of a normal substrate prepared in advance may be acquired by the normal data acquisition unit 42 as normal data. In this case, step S2 in the support process can also be executed before step S1.

預先所被準備之圖像資料,雖然亦可為藉由檢查裝置20所生成之圖像資料中之任一個,但是亦可為顯示基板之設計圖的CAD資料等之主資料。在此,於藉由檢查裝置20所生成之圖像資料與主資料中,圖像中之基板的圖案寬度或圖案的角部之曲率半徑等,會因藉由蝕刻等所進行之基板的加工精度而不同。因此,可根據基板之加工精度,以變更圖像中之圖案寬度或圖案之角部的曲率半徑等之方式對主資料進行修正。 The image data prepared in advance may be any of the image data generated by the inspection device 20, but may also be master data such as CAD data showing a design drawing of the substrate. Here, in the image data and master data generated by the inspection device 20, the pattern width of the substrate in the image or the radius of curvature of the corner of the pattern, etc., are affected by the processing of the substrate by etching or the like. Accuracy varies. Therefore, the master data can be corrected by changing the width of the pattern in the image or the radius of curvature of the corner of the pattern according to the processing accuracy of the substrate.

此外,即使於第一至第三實施形態中,雖然自檢查裝置20取得顯示藉由檢查裝置20事先未被判定為具有缺陷的基板之圖像的圖像資料來作為正常資料,但是本實施形態不被限定於此。正常資料之至少一個,係預先被準備之主資料或者被修正之主資料亦可。In addition, even in the first to third embodiments, although the image data showing the image of the substrate that was not previously judged to have a defect by the inspection device 20 was acquired from the inspection device 20 as normal data, the present embodiment Not limited to this. At least one of the normal data may be pre-prepared master data or corrected master data.

[5]其他實施形態 於上述實施形態中,支援裝置40雖然包含受理部45及登錄部46,但是本實施形態則不被限定於此。支援裝置40亦可不包含受理部45及登錄部46。於此情形下,使用者亦可藉由確認於GUI50所被提示之圖像,以製作用以再檢查該部分的訓練資料。藉此,其容易製作可實施高精度檢查的訓練資料。 [5] Other embodiments In the above-mentioned embodiment, the support device 40 includes the receiving unit 45 and the registration unit 46, but this embodiment is not limited thereto. The support device 40 may not include the receiving unit 45 and the registration unit 46 . In this case, the user can also create training data for rechecking the part by confirming the image prompted by the GUI 50 . Thereby, it is easy to create training materials that can perform high-precision inspection.
