(Fresnel lens), used to converge or parallelize the light, and illuminate the illumination to the entire inspection substrate. [Prior Art] In a manufacturing line such as a liquid crystal display panel or a large printed circuit board, an inspection step is set after any step is completed, and the point source illumination or the surface light source illumination is switched and irradiated to the substrate, by visually reflecting the reflected light or The image is imaged and subjected to keying processing to perform product inspection. At this time, the point light source illumination is irradiated onto the inspection substrate, and the presence or absence of adhesion of foreign matter such as dust and other fine particles, pinholes, unevenness of the lower layer of the protective film, and IT0 (indiunl tin oxide; indium) formed in the lower layer are inspected. Tin oxide) (transparent electrode) with or without defects. Φ In addition, by diffracting the light source on the surface of the inspection substrate to produce a diffractive bright line while changing the inclination of the optical axis of the inspection substrate, the diffraction bright line is moved, and on the bright line, the circuit pattern is checked for disconnection, short circuit, and light. Peeling of the resist film or the presence or absence of removal. Further, by the surface light source illumination, the unevenness of the thickness of the photoresist film formed on the surface of the inspection substrate or the presence or absence of the IT0 formed on the surface layer is checked. However, as shown in Fig. 4, the conventional illumination device for substrate inspection converges the light irradiated by the xenon light source 51, transmits it to the scattering plate 52 placed at the focus position, and reflects it by the mirror 53. And parallelizing the Fresnel lens by parallelizing 318565 5 1314642, and then converging it by the Fresnel lens 5 5 by convergence, and by arranging the exit surface of the Fresnel lens 55 The side liquid crystal scattering plate 56 is switched to be transparent/opaque, and selectively illuminates the point source illumination/surface source illumination light to the inspection substrate 57. In order to easily detect the presence or absence of defects, it is preferable to use strong light. Therefore, the illumination light that is irradiated onto the inspection substrate 57 is not diverged, and the Fresnel is used for convergence. The lens 55 is converged. However, since the lens 55 is necessarily larger than the inspection substrate 57, the liquid crystal diffusion plate 56 must be enlarged. However, the larger the liquid crystal diffusion plate 56 is, the higher the cost is. Since the glass is made of glass, there is a problem that it is easily broken. When it is broken, the chip is dropped on the inspection substrate 57, and the substrate 57 to be a product is damaged and must be discarded. And 'as shown in Fig. 5', it is attempted to arrange the Fresnel lens 61 in the vicinity of the mirror 53. The liquid crystal scattering plate is placed on the optical axis of the bright light condensed by the Ficoll lens 61. The 56 is disposed at a distance from the Fresnel lens to reduce the size of the liquid crystal scattering plate. (Patent Document 2) Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2-77-1, however, as in the above, when the substrate is inspected, since the optical axis of one plate 57 is required to be tilted, the diffraction bright line is moved. U曰1 'The liquid crystal scattering plate must be placed at the position of the 4th inner lens 54. Therefore, when the illumination light is irradiated to the substrate 27 inspected with the fourth image, not only the size of the 盥m but also the size of the liquid crystal 318565 6 1314642 is required to be reflected. The mirror 53 and the spectacles 61 are larger than the lenses of the dry optical system of the Fig. 4, and as a result, the liquid crystal scattering plate cannot be miniaturized, and the problem that the liquid crystal scattering plate 56 is broken cannot be solved. Further, in the prior art, in order to average the storage property (light distribution) when the point source illumination is irradiated to the entire inspection substrate 57, the scattering plate 52 is disposed at the focus position of the light source 51, but the diffusion plate 52 will The light distribution characteristics are averaged, but there is a problem that the overall light intensity is lowered. Further, when the convergence angle of the Fresnel lens 55 or 61 is increased in order to suppress the decrease in the light intensity, the lenses 55 and 61 are enlarged, and when a large amount of light is used as the light source 51, the equipment f and the running cost are increased. The field is increased, and the life of the diffusing plate 52 is shortened due to the thermal influence of the light source 51. In addition, since the scattering plate 52 is used, there is a fact that the light source of the dragon light source is irradiated to the inspection substrate 57, and the diffracted bright line is not conspicuous, and the blur is difficult to recognize. When the scattering plate 52 is not used, the peak of the light distribution characteristic of the illumination light becomes steep. 'When the liquid crystal scattering plate 56 is switched to be transparent and the point light source is diverged and emitted to the entire inspection substrate 57, since the intensity of the light is significantly lowered as it moves away from the optical axis on the inspection substrate, inspection will occur. The peripheral portion of a certain plate 57 is darkened, and the problem of the precision is lowered. 欢 土 土 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 【 The purpose is to solve the two technical courses 7ξ|The liquid crystal scattering plate is miniaturized, and at the same time, the debris is not dropped on the inspection substrate, and the 318565 7 1314642 can be mapped into the inspection substrate as a whole, so There is a case where the image of the liquid crystal scattering plate is only mapped to a part of the inspection substrate, resulting in uneven illumination light. In addition, since the liquid crystal scattering plate is disposed in a ratio The Neel lens is closer to the side of the light source device, so the liquid crystal scattering plate can be designed above the Fresnel lens. Therefore, even if the liquid crystal scattering plate is broken, the debris will fall to a larger Fresnel lens than the liquid crystal scattering plate. Up, it is possible to prevent the debris from falling directly onto the inspection substrate. Moreover, when the non-scattered light from the light source device is incident on the liquid crystal scattering plate, and the liquid crystal scattering plate is switched to be transparent to be illuminated as a point light source, The non-scattered light is directly irradiated onto the inspection substrate, so that a fresh (four) rainbow-colored diffractive bright line is generated on the inspection substrate, so that the object is attached to the object attached to the surface. In addition, even if the liquid crystal scattering plate is switched to be opaque, When the surface light source is bright, 'because the original light intensity is very high, it will not reduce the amount of light. Because of the convergence angle of the large Fresnel lens, it is only necessary to illuminate the light... (4) The size of the inspection substrate can also be used. The lens is small: in the case of 'light-emitting portion of the light source device, the illumination beam is rounded into a shape to be inspected, and the light is differentiated and shaped. Since the detection of non-scattered light is 杳 = = the intensity distribution of the light is averaged, there is also a week (4) away from the optical axis, and the 3⁄4 radiance does not decrease 'and the effect is not difficult to recognize. In addition, as long as the zoom lens device is provided with a zoom mechanism with an irradiation angle of 318565 9 1314642, the illumination angle can be freely adjusted according to the size of the Philippine ear lens when assembling the illumination device. As long as there is one type of uniform shaping lens device, it is not necessary to change the design according to the Philippine lens or the like, and there is no light reaching the irradiation distance of the Philippine lens. [Embodiment] In this embodiment, 4, to achieve the miniaturization of the liquid crystal scattering plate, ^ Illustrated, even if the damage will not fall on the inspection substrate, and can obtain a bright diffractive bright line (4), and the liquid crystal scattering plate is placed in the ratio The phenanthrene & ear lens is more sinful to the light source device side, and the cross-sectional shape of the illumination beam is equal to the inspection substrate or a larger position than the inspection substrate, by causing the non-scattered light to be irradiated from the light source Incident on the diffusion plate to the liquid crystal, and selectively irradiating light scattered in a non-point source of illumination or light scattering becomes a surface light source illumination. Fig. 1 is an explanatory view showing an example of the illumination device for substrate inspection of the present invention. Fig. 2 is an explanatory view showing a uniformizing lens, and Fig. 3 is a ray diagram when the angle of illumination is enlarged. (Example 1) The illuminating device for substrate inspection shown in Fig. 1 is used for an examiner of a large substrate such as a hybrid liquid crystal display panel or a large printed circuit board having a size of about 1 m or more. From the light source device 2 that diverges the non-scattered light to the illumination optical axis X of the inspection substrate, the Fresnel lens 3 is used to converge or parallelize the illumination light, and the liquid crystal diffusion plate 4 is used to illuminate The illumination light to the inspection substrate κ is switched to point source illumination or surface source illumination. 318565 10 1314642 The light source device 2, as shown in Fig. 2, is provided with a light source 5 using a crane halogen lamp (ha 1 〇gen 1 amp ) for emitting non-scattered light, and a metal halide lamp (metal halide). a high-pressure discharge lamp; an elliptical mirror 6 for concentrating the light source; a light guiding tube 7 for guiding the collected light; and a homogenizing shaping lens device 8 disposed at the light emitting end and connected Light guiding tube 7. The homogenizing and shaping lens device 8 is provided with a rectangular rod optical integrator having a /: a columnar shape, a square cross section having an aspect ratio equal to the inspection substrate # κ, and a variable focal length lens (variable f〇) Cal lens 10, which adjusts the illumination angle of the illumination light emitted from the rectangular column optical integrator 9. When the light is incident on the rectangular column optical integrator 9, the total reflection is internally repeated, so that the light distribution becomes uniform at the exit end. The rectangular column optical integrator 9 of the present embodiment is designed such that the uniformity of the non-scattered light on the inspection substrate κ is 70 to loo%. • The uniformity U is defined by the maximum amount of light pmax and the minimum amount of light Pmin when the illumination light is irradiated. U= { 1- (Pmax-Pmin) / (Pmax+Pmin) } Xl〇〇(〇/0) When the maximum amount of light Pmax is equal to the minimum amount of light Pmin, it is an ideal source of uniformity, but in fact The strength of the light distribution cannot be avoided. Then, if the hooking property is reduced to less than 7〇%, when the non-scattering light is irradiated onto the inspection substrate K, the brightness on the optical axis and the brightness of the peripheral portion are too large to be 'visually and imaged. The inspection accuracy will drop 318565 11 1314642; low, relatively, as long as the uniformity u is 7 (10) or more, this problem will not occur, so the uniformity Ug is 70%. In addition' zoom lens! The two lenses i 〇 a and (10) are coaxially arranged as a double-lens lens, and the irradiation angle can be adjusted by moving the lenses 1A and (10), so that even if the size of the substrate κ is examined, the Philippine lens 3 is examined. When the specifications of the liquid crystal diffusing plate 4 are different, the original article can be used without redesigning the light source device 2 in accordance with the specifications. For example, in the illumination device 1 for substrate inspection according to Fig. 1, in the case where the irradiation angle is about 25, the inspection substrate substrate inspection illumination device having the length of the inspection side shown in Fig. 3 = 1.8 times In the crucible, since the Fresnel lens 12 and the liquid crystal scattering plate 13 are also large in size in accordance with the size of the inspection substrate 1, the light cannot be irradiated onto the entire inspection substrate at the same irradiation angle. In this case, since the distance to the non-Neer lens 3 has to be elongated in the conventional light source device, the attenuation of the light intensity is remarkable, but in the present embodiment, the variable focal length lens can be used. 〇 The angle of illumination is from about 2 5 . Expanded to approximately 45. To set the most appropriate illumination angle. ^ Thereby, the distance to the Fresnel lens 3 can be maintained in a certain shape, and the illumination angle can be adjusted downward, so that the attenuation of the light intensity is reduced, and it is not necessary to redesign each time the lighting device of different specifications is designed. The light source device is designed to be 2 ° / - and as shown in Fig. 1, the illumination light emitted from the light source device 2 is reflected by the mirror 14 and is entangled along the illumination axis, and is disposed on the optical axis X thereof. The Fresnel lens 3 on the upper side attenuates or parallelizes and irradiates 318565 12 1314642. Therefore, even if the liquid crystal scattering plate 4 is broken, the Fico lens 3 which is larger than the liquid: scattering plate 4 can catch the fragments, so The debris does not go to the inspection substrate K, so there is almost no damage.曰 The above configuration of an example of the present invention will be described next. When the inspection substrate K is transported to the lower side of the substrate inspection illumination device, the light source illumination and the surface light source illumination are selected by the illumination light switching means 15 for the purpose of inspection. When performing the inspection of the point source illumination, the liquid crystal scattering plate 4 is switched to be transparent in the case where the light source is turned on, and the non-scattered light from the light source device 2 is reflected by the mirror 14 and directly transmitted. The liquid crystal diffusing plate 4 diverges and travels to the inspection lens 3, and is condensed by the fluorescene material 3 to illuminate the inspection substrate K. At this time, the non-scattered light that is illuminated as a point source is emitted from the light guiding tube 2 (4) The optical optical integrator 9 and the varifocal lens 10 of the grading and setting 8 are diverged at a predetermined irradiation angle, and are irradiated to the entire inspection substrate K. Thus, it is possible to check whether or not the inspection substrate κ is attached with dust or other particles. Foreign matter, presence or absence of pinholes, unevenness of the lower layer of the protective film, and presence or absence of defects in the lower layer of ΙΤΟ (transparent electrode). Moreover, when the non-scattering point source is illuminated and diverged, the periphery of the illumination beam is not affected. The portion is shielded from light, and the shape of the inspection substrate is formed by the rectangular column optical material 9 so that the light source is not wasted. Further, the light distribution is uniformed by the rectangular column optical integrator 9 Since the light intensity distribution on the substrate 变为 is averaged, the illuminance of the peripheral portion away from the light extraction X does not decrease and does not become difficult to recognize. 318565 14 1314642. Further, due to the illumination from the light source device 2 The non-scattered light is directly irradiated onto the inspection substrate K, so that the inspection substrate κ produces a sharp rainbow-colored diffractive bright line, which is easily recognized on its bright line, and by changing the illumination optical axis X of the inspection substrate 一边By tilting and moving the diffraction bright line, it is possible to inspect the entire substrate ,, and to check for high-precision, for example, whether or not the circuit pattern is broken, short-circuited, peeling of the photoresist film, or presence or absence of removal failure. In the inspection case performed, when the liquid crystal device 4 is switched to opaque (milky white) under the sorrow of the light source device 2, the non-scattered light from the light source device 2 is reflected by the mirror 14 and is passed through the liquid crystal scattering plate. Scattering, the light becomes scattered light and is incident on the Fresnel lens 3 and uniformly irradiated to the inspection substrate κ, thereby inspecting the photoresist film formed on the surface of the inspection substrate κ The unevenness of the hook and the presence or absence of defects formed on the surface layer. In this case, since the liquid crystal scattering plate 4 is disposed on the side of the light source and the device 2 of the Fresnel lens 3, the smaller the distance from the Fresnel lens 3, the smaller the size. Further, since the liquid crystal scattering plate 4 is disposed such that the cross-sectional shape of the illumination light beam is equal to or larger than the inspection substrate κ, it can be downsized to be equal to the size of the inspection substrate κ. The scattering plate 4 ensures the size of the inspection substrate κ. Even when the liquid crystal scattering plate 4 is switched to be opaque to be illuminated as a surface light source, the imaging of the liquid crystal scattering plate 4 uniformly maps the entire substrate κ, so the liquid crystal scattering The plate 4 is not only mapped into a part of the inspection substrate (4), and therefore, unevenness of illumination light is not generated on the inspection substrate 。. 318565 15 1314642 Further, even if the liquid crystal diffusion plate is switched to be opaque to be used as a surface light source, The original light intensity is very high, so it does not reduce the amount of light, because it does not need to increase the convergence angle of the Philippine lens, so the illumination light is illuminated to the same size. When the check substrate, miniaturization can also be a Fresnel lens. Further, when the light source illumination or the surface light source illumination is used for illumination, the liquid crystal diffusion plate 4 is disposed closer to the "spot" side than the Fresnel lens 3, so that the liquid crystal diffusion plate 4 is used. It is disposed on the upper side of the Philippine lens 3, and therefore, even if the liquid crystal scatter plate 4 is broken, since the shards may fall onto the Fresnel lens 3 larger than the liquid crystal scatter plate 4, it is possible to prevent direct drop to the inspection substrate. K damage, #, as long as the uniform lens device 8 has a zoom lens with an illumination angle of ^ ^, when the phase is set, the radiation can be adjusted according to the size of the ear lens 3 Since it is angled, it is not necessary to re-set according to the specifications of Philippine Mirror = Mirror 3 (4), and there is no need to change the irradiation distance to the lens lens 3. #f In the above description, the description is about making the inspection column.
