Description of the Invention: [Intelligent ^ Mussel] Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a substrate inspection apparatus using a substrate for inspection by illumination. The present application claims priority to the present patent application No. 2005-139515, filed on May 12, 2005, and the content thereof is incorporated. Background of the Invention In a manufacturing process of a flat panel display such as a liquid crystal display, a substrate inspection apparatus that inspects the appearance on a glass substrate and inspects for defects or the like is used. The substrate inspecting device has a floating table that is transported in a state where the glass substrate is floated by gas without damaging the glass substrate. The gap that penetrates in the vertical direction of the floating table is disposed so as to be orthogonal to the direction of conveyance 15 of the glass substrate, and is permeable to the illumination glass substrate. The substrate inspection apparatus irradiates the illumination light to the glass substrate from below through the gap, illuminates the glass substrate, and observes the glass substrate using a microscope disposed above the glass substrate. Among them, when the glass substrate is placed above the gap of the floating table, the buoyancy is lowered due to the air spray, and the glass substrate is deflected, causing problems such as defocusing of the micromirror. Further, when the tip end of the glass substrate conveyed onto the floating table passes over the gap, the buoyancy is lowered by the gap, so that the tip end of the glass substrate is hooked to the edge of the gap, which makes it difficult to convey the glass substrate. In order to solve this problem, if the amplitude of the gap is reduced, the transmitted illumination source cannot be placed in the gap, and the illumination source is far away from the glass substrate. When the amplitude of the field gap is reduced, the amount of illumination light passing through the gap is reduced. Therefore, the number of openings of the illumination light is reduced, and the observed image is darkened. In the conventional substrate inspection device, the air vehicle is disposed in the gap, and the glass substrate on the glass substrate passing through the gap is simultaneously attached to the glass substrate on the gap and the gap is high precision. The degree of recovery is maintained (for example, see Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2002-181714). And, as in the conventional substrate inspection device, when the air bearing is disposed in the gap, the floating table must be additionally provided with a compressor for ejecting air and a vacuum pump for attracting air and air, so that there is a device. Constructing a complex problem. Although there are air bearings that still need to pass through the gap between the illumination light, but when Ren is the size of the gap through the illumination source, the same problem will occur. When the gap is reduced, the air bearing will Blocking one part of the illumination light results in insufficient light. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its main object is to provide a substrate inspection apparatus which can be a simple structure and which can prevent deformation of a substrate above a gap of a floating table and more accurately inspect a substrate. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a substrate inspection apparatus comprising: a floating stage for suspending a substrate; and an observation mechanism for observing the upper surface of the substrate conveyed on the floating stage; The illumination light source is configured such that the illumination light is irradiated onto the substrate by the lower surface of the substrate; the illumination light passage portion is formed on the floating table and formed by the gap through which the illumination light can pass; and the transmission member, J307929 is embedded in The illumination light passing through the portion, and the aforementioned illumination, ..., is particularly moved. The substrate inspecting apparatus of the present invention transports the substrate by the floating table and exposes the illumination light to the substrate and then observes the substrate. In order to make the illumination light pass through, the member can cover the gap formed in the gap of the floating table. 5 The gas ejected from the floating table enters the transmitting member and the base; : = an air layer is formed, by which the air is formed The layer can also be floated in the illumination light passage portion. According to the substrate inspection device of the present invention, since the transmissive member is inserted into the illumination light passage portion, the air layer can be formed by the floating table and the air layer can be formed between the transmission member and the substrate. The air show ^ Θ layer can also float the substrate in the illumination light passage. Therefore, the substrate in the illumination passing portion can be maintained at a roughly-determined height, and the substrate can be inspected more accurately using the observation mechanism.

Embodiment j Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the specification of the formula. 5 (8) Embodiment) As shown in Fig. 1, the substrate inspection apparatus 1 has a bottom portion 2, a floating table 3 on the bottom portion 2, and a transport portion 4 for transporting the glass substrate boundary along the floating table 3. . In Fig. 1, the conveying portion 4 is laid on the upper surface of the bottom portion 2, and is provided to be freely movable on the guide rail 33 extending in the X direction. The conveyance unit 4 is provided with a plurality of suction pads % which are abutted against the lower side of the glass substrate W and are sucked and held by the lower side. The transport unit 4 sucks and holds the outer edge portion of the glass substrate W floating on the floating floor 3 by the absorbing pad 35, and forcibly transports the glass substrate w to one side of the shovel side of the float & Further, in the conveyance direction of the end portion (hereinafter referred to as the X-direction 15 direction), the inspection portion 5 is fixed to the bottom portion 2 from the one end portion to the other end portion along the X direction.

Further, in Fig. 1, the transmitted illumination light source 8 is located outside the floating table 3, but moves to the optical axis opposite to the objective lens of the microscope 7 during inspection. The recesses 10 parallel to the X direction are formed in parallel in a plurality of rows on the floating table 3. concave. A plurality of holes 11 for ejecting air are provided at equal intervals on the upper surface of the floating table 3 except for the 卩10. Each of the plurality of holes U forms a space every other one, and the space is connected to a compressor (not shown). Further, on the way from the one end side of the floating table 3 to the side of the other end 1307929, an illumination light for transmitting the light from the illumination light source 8 is formed.

通過之間隙之照明光通過部15。該照明光通過部15係與Y 方向平行且上下貫通浮起檯3。如第2圖所示,支持部16係 突出设置於挾持照明光通過部15且對向之浮起檯3之側部 5 12 ° 作為使照明光透過之透過構件之散射板2 0係由上方嵌 入於照明光通過部15 ’散射板20可藉固定構件21而固定於 浮起棱3。散射板2〇可使來自透過照明光源8之照明光散射 並透過者’例如由印刷玻璃或白色丙烯板等製造。散射板 10 20之x方向的幅度與形成於浮起檯3之照明光通過部15之乂 方向的幅度大略相等,且散射板20之Y方向的長度與浮起檯 3之Y方向之長度大略相等,因此,散射板2〇係嵌合於配置 在下游侧與上游側之各浮起檯3之側部12,並且沿著散射板 20之Υ方向之緣部載置於支持部16上,散射板20之上面與各 15浮起檯3之上面係大略在同一面。散射板20係藉固定構件 21(固定機構)而固定於浮起檯3之預定位置。 又’若藉於透過照明光源8設置使光散射透過之構件來 進行照明光之均一化,亦可不設置散射板20,而使用玻璃 或塑膠等透明材料構成之透明構件。 2〇 如第3圖所示,固定構件21係藉於下面之外緣部藉接著 而與散射板20連結,以便不會遮住透過照明光。固定構件 21之間的間隔係與凹部1〇之間隔相合。固定構件21具有可 插入於浮起檯3之凹部10之寬度的形狀,其高度低於由凹部 之底面到浮起檯3之上面3A。如第2圖所示,固定構件21 1307929 低於上面3A,因此固定構件21會堵塞凹部10之端部開口而 可防止照明光通過部15穿透凹部1 〇。藉此,由浮起擾3之各 孔11喷出之空氣的一部份會流入散射板20與固定機構21的 上面,並藉散射板20與玻璃基板W之間的空氣層,玻璃基 5板界由散射板20的上面浮起到一定的高度。其中,當使顯 微鏡7與透過照明光源8同步移動時,來自透過照明光源8之 聚光燈照明光會導入照明光通過部15,並經散射板2〇散射 而成為散射光後,由下方均一地照明玻璃基板W。顯微鏡7 由CCD(Charged Coupled Device)接收散射光所照明之玻璃 10基板W之表面的擴大影像後,顯示於與(:(:1:>連接之顯示器 (未圖示)。玻璃基板W上有異物等缺陷時,可藉擴大影像而 發現此等異物,採取必要處置。在檢查部5結束玻璃基板w 上之觀察對象的檢查後,搬運部4返回一端部側後,則解除 真空吸著。解除真空吸著之玻璃基板w可藉機器人而由基 15 板檢查裝置1搬出,送到下一工程。The illumination light passing through the gap 15 passes through the portion 15. The illumination light passage portion 15 is parallel to the Y direction and vertically passes through the floating table 3. As shown in Fig. 2, the support portion 16 is protruded from the side portion 5 of the floating table 3 that is opposite to the holding illumination light passage portion 15 as a scattering plate 20 for transmitting the illumination light. The diffusing plate 20 is embedded in the illuminating light passage portion 15 and can be fixed to the floating rib 3 by the fixing member 21. The diffusing plate 2 〇 can scatter the illuminating light from the illuminating light source 8 and transmit it by, for example, printing glass or a white acrylic plate. The width of the diffusing plate 10 20 in the x direction is substantially equal to the width of the illuminating light passing portion 15 formed in the floating table 3, and the length of the diffusing plate 20 in the Y direction is substantially the same as the length of the floating table 3 in the Y direction. Therefore, the scattering plate 2 is slidably fitted to the side portions 12 of the floating tables 3 disposed on the downstream side and the upstream side, and is placed on the support portion 16 along the edge of the scattering plate 20 in the , direction. The upper surface of the diffusing plate 20 is substantially flush with the upper surface of each of the 15 floating tables 3. The diffusion plate 20 is fixed to a predetermined position of the floating table 3 by a fixing member 21 (fixing mechanism). Further, if the illumination light is uniformized by the means for scattering light through the illumination light source 8, the transparent member made of a transparent material such as glass or plastic may be used without providing the diffusion plate 20. 2〇 As shown in Fig. 3, the fixing member 21 is connected to the diffusion plate 20 by the outer edge portion of the lower surface so as not to block the transmission of the illumination light. The spacing between the fixing members 21 coincides with the interval of the recesses 1〇. The fixing member 21 has a shape that can be inserted into the width of the recess 10 of the floating table 3, and has a height lower than the bottom surface of the recessed portion 3 to the upper surface 3A of the floating table 3. As shown in Fig. 2, the fixing member 21 1307929 is lower than the upper portion 3A, so that the fixing member 21 blocks the end opening of the recess 10 to prevent the illumination light passing portion 15 from penetrating the recess 1 〇. Thereby, a part of the air ejected from each of the holes 11 of the floating disturbance 3 flows into the upper surface of the diffusion plate 20 and the fixing mechanism 21, and the air layer between the diffusion plate 20 and the glass substrate W, the glass base 5 The plate boundary is floated to a certain height by the upper surface of the diffusion plate 20. When the microscope 7 is moved in synchronization with the illumination light source 8, the illumination light from the spotlight transmitted through the illumination source 8 is introduced into the illumination light passage portion 15 and scattered by the diffusion plate 2 to become scattered light, and then uniformly illuminated from below. Glass substrate W. The microscope 7 receives an enlarged image of the surface of the substrate 10 of the glass 10 illuminated by the scattered light by a CCD (Charged Coupled Device), and displays it on a display (not shown) connected to (:1:> on the glass substrate W. When there is a defect such as a foreign matter, the foreign matter can be found by expanding the image, and the necessary treatment can be taken. After the inspection unit 5 finishes the inspection of the observation target on the glass substrate w, the conveyance unit 4 returns to the one end side, and then the vacuum suction is released. The glass substrate w from which the vacuum suction is released can be carried out by the base 15 inspection device 1 by the robot and sent to the next project.

The air that has exited flows between the glass substrate W and the diffusion plate 20 to form an air layer. Therefore, even if the glass substrate w is positioned on the illumination light passage portion 15, the air layer can be maintained at a constant height. Thereby, deformation of the glass substrate hips and the like can be prevented, and the glass substrate can be accurately held at a substantially constant height. Therefore, the inspection of the board w. Here, the positional scattering plate 20 of the entire pair of floating tables 3 is precisely adjusted by the fixing member 21, so that the glass substrate rating and scattering plate 20 does not contact 12 1307929 and the interval of the recess 10 of the floating table 3, and is fixed. On the inner edge of the inner side of the diffuser plate 2〇. The outer shape of the fixing member 51 is the same as that of the fixing member 21 of the second embodiment. When the diffusion plate 20 is fixed, the spacers 5 52 are laid in the recesses 1 of the floating table 3, and the fixing members 5 are inserted from the upper side thereof in a state of being close to the fitting. The gasket 523⁄4/ is notched 52a to avoid interference with the structural member 22. If the gasket is the same shape and the degree is different, prepare a plurality of types. When the scatter plate is fixed, a plurality of shims 52 of the prepared type can be exchanged one by one, and the upper surface of the scatter plate 20 is adjusted to be lower than the upper surface 3A of the floating table 3 and parallel to the upper three octets, and floated by 1 〇. The height difference between the upper surface 3A of the stage 3 and the scattering plate 20 is less than 1 mm. Preferably, it is adjusted so as to be substantially flush with the upper surface 3A to allow the glass substrate w to pass unimpeded. According to this embodiment, the gap between the illumination light passing portions 15 can be blocked by the diffusion plate 2, and the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, the height of the diffusion plate 2 can be adjusted by simply swapping the 15 spacers 52. (Third embodiment) In the third embodiment of the present invention, only the method of fixing the scattering plate is different from the first and second embodiments. Therefore, the description overlapping with the second embodiment will be omitted. As shown in Fig. 7, in this embodiment, a holding and fixing mechanism for absorbing the fixed diffusion plate 2 by air is provided on the side of the floating table 3. That is, the support portion 16 of the floating table 3 is formed with a plurality of holes 61 penetrating upward and downward. Each of the holes 61 is coupled to each of the joints 62 fixed to the lower portion of the support portion 16, and each of the joints 62 is connected via a pipe 63. The piping 63 is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown). Further, a gusset 64 which serves as a absorbing portion of the adjustment mechanism is disposed on the peripheral edge portion of the upper side of the hole 61. 14 1307929 A certain height. Further, as shown in Fig. 8, an illumination source 7 亦可 can also be used. The transmission illumination source 70 has a casing 71, a linear illumination source 72 in which a fluorescent lamp or an LED is arranged in a straight line, and a diffusion plate 73. The width of the casing 71 is substantially the same as the width of the illumination 5 light passing portion 15 in the X direction, and the length of the casing 71 is substantially equal to the length of the floating table in the Y direction. The linear illumination source 72 extends in the gamma direction and is housed in the casing 71. The diffusion plate 73 is a transmission member that scatters and transmits linear illumination light from the linear illumination source 72, and is fixed to cover the upper surface of the casing 71. The illumination source 70 is attached to the bottom portion 2 via the elevating mechanism 74. The elevating mechanism 74 is composed of an air-driven air valve, and maintains its position after adjusting the height. The illumination light source 70 is positioned such that the upper surface of the diffusion plate 73 is lower than the upper surface 3A of the floating table 3 and parallel to the upper surface 3A, and the height difference from the upper surface 3A of the floating table 3 to the diffusion plate 20 is 1 mm or less. The linear illumination source 72 is disposed on the movement track of the objective lens of the microscope 7, and when the inspection is performed 15, only the microscope 7 (see Fig. 1) is moved in the Y direction for inspection. According to these configurations, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, instead of the diffusion plate 20, a transmissive liquid crystal scattering plate which can be switched to a transparent state or a disordered state can be used. A lenticular lens for totally reflecting the emission through-holes formed on the upper surface opposite to the optical axis of the microscope 7 may be inserted into the illumination light passage portion 15' and the illumination light from the light source may be incident on the lenticular lens. The bottom surface is thereby irradiated with the linear illumination light to the glass substrate W. The gap between the illumination light passing portions 15 can be set to be approximately the same size as the diameter, and the lenticular lens can be inserted into the gap of the illumination light passing portion 15, thereby reducing the gap between the illumination light passing portions 15 16 1307929 and improving Acting on the buoyancy of the glass substrate w. With this configuration, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, if the interval between the opening of the hole 11 and the width of the illumination light passage portion 15 in the X direction are set, the holes 11 of the floating table 3 are arranged at equal intervals in the X direction, even if the scattering plate 20 is not provided. The glass substrate is kept at a certain southerly degree. The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments. The components may be added, omitted, replaced, and modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The present invention is not limited to the foregoing description, but is limited only by the scope of the appended patent application.
