Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an optical detection system and method, and more particularly to an automated optical inspection system and method for simultaneously performing a plurality of defect detection operations on a substrate. [Prior Art] For the flat panel display industry, in order to improve product quality and reduce costs, manufacturers must perform defect inspection before or after the completion of the production process in order to find out the cause of the defect. In addition to the electrical detection of these defect detection operations, appearance and surface flaw detection are also necessary items. With the trend of large-scale and thin-line electronic components and the increasing speed of production line speed, manual visual inspection has failed to meet quality and speed. Claim. This day's Autom ic Opt i cal Inspection (A〇I) is a tool for quickly detecting the appearance and surface flaws. Automated optical inspection technology can be used not only for end product quality control, but also for process monitoring, taking early corrective measures. However, most of the prior art A0I detecting devices and methods belong to the automatic detecting device and method for instant detection, and cannot display a comprehensive image of the detected substrate. Since there is no comprehensive image of the substrate, the prior art has no way to detect if the film formation pattern on the substrate to be inspected is different in size. Even if the prior art attempts to create a detection area of a substrate having a different film pattern size by numerical input, since the full image of the substrate 1273232 cannot be obtained, the prior art cannot confirm whether the detection area is set correctly, and thus the correctness of the detection cannot be ensured. . Furthermore, the prior art AOI detecting apparatus and method generally can only perform defect detection in one of the 杈 method, the differential method, and the difference method, and cannot perform multiple types of detection at the same time. Although some prior art A〇I detecting devices and methods can perform micro-defective and large-defect testing operations, these prior art techniques only perform performing-type testing operations, and then calculate the detected defective pixels, which will have fewer defects. The pixels are divided into small defects, and those with more defects are divided into huge defects. This method simply divides the size of the _ trap and does not individually set the detection sensitivity of the micro-defects and the large defects, and does not guarantee the correctness of the detection. Therefore, it is necessary to provide an optical detecting device and method for efficiently detecting a substrate having film forming patterns of different sizes; and at the same time, it is also necessary to provide an optical detecting device and method for simultaneously performing a plurality of different defect detecting. Homework to increase the correctness of the test.

Referring now to Figure 2, a flow chart of the steps of the optical detection method of the present invention is shown. First, in steps S21 and S22, the present invention can selectively transport and provide the substrate 800 having the same film formation pattern size or film formation pattern size by the XY-axis stage 510 to prepare for the defect detection operation of the substrate 800. As shown in FIG. 3, the substrate 800 detected by the present invention may have a plurality of film formation patterns 802 having the same size or a plurality of film formation patterns 804 having different sizes. Next, in step S23, the present invention can obtain a full image of the substrate 800 by the image acquisition unit 200 (for example, a plurality of tandem or parallel photosensitive coupling elements). After obtaining the full image of the substrate 800, the present invention proceeds to step S24 to store the acquired comprehensive image by the memory on the image processing unit 100. Then, in step S25, a plurality of defect detecting jobs are executed. In an embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of defect detection operations performed in step S25 further include the following step options: 1. First, step S251 is performed to set a plurality of detection areas on the comprehensive image, and then step S252 is performed, The detection area simultaneously performs a plurality of defect detection operations of the same type. For example, as shown in Fig. 4, step S251 is first executed, two detection areas 41 and 42 are set on the full-image 40, and then step S252 is performed, and two small defect detection operations are simultaneously performed for the detection areas 41 and 42. 2. First, step S251 is executed to set a plurality of detection areas on the full-image, and then step S254 is performed, and a plurality of different types of defect detection operations are simultaneously performed for the detection area. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, step S251 is first performed, and two detection areas 51 and 52 are set on the full-image 50, and 1273232 is followed by step S252, and small defect detection operations and large defect detection are simultaneously performed for the detection areas 51 and 52. operation. First, step S 2 5 3 is executed, and a specific measurement is set on the comprehensive image. Then, step S254 is performed, and a plurality of different types of defect detection operations are simultaneously performed for the specific detection area. For example, as shown in Fig. 6, first, in step S253, a detection area 61 is set on the full-view image 60, and then step S254 is executed, and the micro-defect detection operation and the large defect detection operation are simultaneously performed for the detection area 61. In an embodiment of the present invention, the types of the plurality of detection operations performed in the step S25 include the defect detection operation and the dark defect detection operation in addition to the above-described micro defect detection operation and the large defect detection operation. At the same time, the present invention can individually set the detection sensitivity of the micro defect detection and the large defect detection, and the present invention can also individually set the detection sensitivity of the light and dark defects. Thus, the present invention can perform highly accurate zone knife detection on defects that are to be detected, and greatly improve the optical detection device of the prior art. Only one of the comparison method, the differential method, and the difference method can be selected for defect detection. The shortcomings. Then, in the step S26, the present invention displays all the processed comprehensive images and the related defects as shown in FIG. 7 and is displayed on the image display unit 300 while 'detecting that the substrate 800 has a defect, the present invention can further As shown in Fig. 8, the position and size of the defect 85 are indicated. Then, the present invention can perform step S27, and the inspection lens 520 checks and confirms the correctness of the missing G on the substrate. If the operator confirms that the defect 850 is correct, the flow of the present invention can be terminated, and further lack of the cause 4 estimation operation, for example, by the inspection lens as the substrate alignment confirmation and/or illumination confirmation. If the operator believes that the detected defect 1273232 850 is incorrect, the present invention can return to step S25, re-detect, and repeat steps S25 to S27 until the defect has been confirmed. Although the present invention has been described above by way of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the invention, and it is to be understood that those skilled in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
